25 Natasha Romanoff 2

https://discord.gg/cpDWhYEURJ - I can get rid of the line if it's annoying

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Huff.. Damn" I wake up first and Natasha follows after a few seconds

"That's enough for now, lets rest for now and we will start the next session in a few hours, messing with the mind is a dangerous thing, even when it's for healing, we will take breaks so I don't mess up"

"Yeah ok, my head is killing me" Nat says as she rubs her temples

"Well we are rewiring your brain, it's somewhat impressive that it still has a strong hold on you after all these years"

She is silent for a few moments "Thank you for doing this, I want you to know that I am very grateful, but you still haven't explained exactly why you are doing this, or your motives for stealing the scepter"

Hmmm " You might want a drink or two before we start, actually I need one too"

Yeah that sounds about right, I'm about to destroy her worldview even more

"A drink? Now?"

"Believe me you are going to need it, in any case, we can just celebrate the start of your recovery"

She was a little skeptical, but we clinked out glasses of wine, and I started

"Well the reason why I decided to help you, is because I see so much of myself in you, brainwashed since childhood, forced to do missions unknowingly, didn't have any choice in our actions. I got out of my brainwashing by running into a wall hoping to commit suicide. It didn't work, but it did restart my brain, so after a lot of meditation, I fixed myself. As for the scepter

The reason why I stole the scepter is mainly that I want to study it, and to stop 'The Avengers' from killing thousands even then of thousands" ( A/N in the MCU only 177 people died in Sokovia, half of the city fell on the other half, only 177 people died? I don't think so)

"What do you mean" she takes an aggressive stance

"Sigh, I can see into the future a little, but since the future is always changing you can't be sure what's about to happen, I saw that Stark and Banner started Project: Ultron with the power of the scepter. Stark made project Ultron with protecting the Earth in mind, he calls it a 'suit of armor around the world' , ironically that same Android that was designed to protect Earth, planned to destroy it, you guys stopped him but there were casualties, a lot of casualties."

"Okay say I believe that, you deserve that much, why would you tell me?"

"Because you asked and after we finish healing you I will use magic to prohibit you from telling the others, you can still tell them something but it will be only what I let you." I explain to her

"You don't trust me to keep quiet?" she asks me with a flirty look, I just laugh at her

"Hahahaha Natasha we are spies, it's our job to extract information from people, you may not trust Shield anymore but you do trust the Avengers. Thor, Stark and Rogers have proven themselves trustworthy, Banner not so much" I raise a hand to stop her from interrupting

"You may believe that he will never hurt you, but he doesn't believe in himself, and you can never trust a man who doesn't trust himself, it's like trusting a lion won't eat you after you let it out of its cage, there is always a chance for it to happen. Let's say someone manipulates him somehow, like that girl from Sokovia, do you think he will stop just because you said so, don't be naive. You can ask Stark about Ultron he will tell you his plans."

"What do you know about the enhanced form Sokovia" I smile at that

"They want revenge, their goal is Just" (A/N just=righteous)

"They worked for Strucker and HYDRA" she counters me

"They were using Strucker to get stronger, to get revenge on Tony Stark" I elaborate

"Tony?, not the Avengers?, what do they have against Iron Man" she sounds confused which is kinda cute if I'm being honest

"I never said Iron Man, I said Tony Stark, they were victims of his weapons, they were shot by 2 missiles, one killed their parents and the other landed in front of them with the words Stark on it but didn't go off it sat there right in front of them, they sat there for 2 days, waiting, praying to be rescued, every effort to save them, every shift in the rubble could have set the missile off. They waited 2 days for Tony Stark to kill them."

I look at her "Still think they are the bad guys?" she gets quiet

" This is what I am trying to show you, what you should have known since the beginning there is no good or bad, no right or wrong. Was it okay for the Red Room to kidnap children and turn them into mindless spies for the government and the people? No, it wasn't, but they still did it and while brainwashed you did good and bad things.

I won't help the siblings but I won't help Stark either. You will definitely be on Stark's side, along with the Avengers, but ask yourself this, is it right or wrong to deny them their justified revenge.

You can go take the bed, I'm tired we will continue after we sleep, it's been a rough day" she nods at that, says goodnight and goes into the bedroom.

I'll go and meditate for a bit and check the rewards later, I have the Mind Stone here in front of me but it won't be wise to put it in the Grimoire right now, after I do it the book can't be used for battle, and I plan to blackma.. *chough* bargain. I plan to bargain with the Avengers, I need the Tesseract and the knowledge that Assguard has to offer, so there might be another fight. There probobly won't be, but it's better safe than sorry.

For now, let's see what the Mind stone has to offer, I can still study it like this, no problem. I won't get anything in just a few hours, but I will get a rough idea of what to expect.

This chap could be better, this whole fic will be rewritten/fixed up soon, probably after i finish this arc
