A Blood Soaked Rose
“That’s far enough. One more step and I’ll shoot,” Eli said, voice firm despite her shaking legs.
The woman stopped, her smirk growing to a grin. “With what bullets?” She pulled a magazine from behind her back and tossed it to the ground at Eli’s feet. “Besides,” she continued, “We both know you don’t need a gun to be dangerous.”
She knew. She knew, but she didn’t. There was no hint of recognition behind those emerald eyes, yet the Widow still saw what she was: a freak.

Eliska Ruzicka is an international thief with an attitude and a shady past she'd rather forget. But when the woman she's spent the last six years searching for breaks into her apartment, she might not have a choice. Armed with an ipod shuffle and strange abilities that will not be tamed, she sets out to right some wrongs and maybe save the world in the process.
Natasha Romanoff is an agent of SHIELD and perpetual insomniac trying to wipe the red from her ledger. Her best friend has been brainwashed, the Earth is threatened with annihilation, and her only hope lies in a tattooed stranger with zero respect for authority. All of this would be manageable, but something about this woman's gaze haunts her...

Note: This is a SLOW burn romance between Natasha Romanoff and Eliska Ruzicka, my OFC. It follows the MCU timeline with some twists of my own. You should know a) you're in for a long ride, b) this is not for the faint of heart, & c) no beta - we die like women. You have been warned. Happy reading!
