When they returned, the killer had disappeared.
Nonsense, seeing that support had arrived, she was not stupid, so she would not stay where she was. Moreover, this killer must have made detailed plans in advance, and chose his retreat route very well. Not only did he avoid the SHIELD agents who came to support him, but he also avoided all surveillance.
Disappeared without a trace.
The scene was blocked by SHIELD. Natasha did not join in the fun, but sent Hawkeye directly to the hospital.
Soon Hawkeye's wife arrived with Director Hill.
"How is Clint?" Compared to Director Hill, Hawkeye's wife Laura seemed much less calm... This is also human nature, after all, he is someone else's husband.
"The doctor is examining him. When he was admitted to the hospital, he was still conscious and had no fatal injuries. He should be fine." Natasha said a little embarrassed. Speaking of which, Hawkeye was attacked because she asked him to go to the appointment. Moreover, it was embarrassing for her to date Hawkeye behind Hawkeye's wife's back.
Fortunately, Laura is not an ordinary woman, and she has known Natasha for a long time. So I didn't doubt anything.
"That's good, that's good." Laura breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Hawkeye was not in danger.
But Hill needs to know why Natasha asked Hawkeye out.
"What do you want from Hawkeye?"
After all, Natasha once betrayed SHIELD. Although there was a reason for it at the time, Natasha did not choose to return to SHIELD in the end. This made Hill somewhat uncomfortable. Now that something like this has happened again, of course she needs to ask questions. .
Natasha took a breath. Originally, she didn't really want to deal with SHIELD, but now... she had to say it.
"I need to ask Hawkeye about a previous matter." As she said that, she took out a folded newspaper from her chest. She has big breasts that can hide a lot.
"Do you know her?" Natasha asked Hill, pointing to Melina in the photo.
Hill was confused after seeing this woman.
Natasha's rebellion happened in 1990. At that time, Hill had not yet joined SHIELD, so she naturally didn't recognize him.
Natasha didn't hide it either: "She was my partner when I was serving the Soviet Union... I saw her being sent to the sky by a car bomb, and today I found her obituary. She had been living in the United States until yesterday. Died from a gas explosion."
Hill seemed to understand something.
"These are things that happened in the past. You have been separated from Sulan for a long time. Why are you going to find her now?"
Although I don’t know exactly what happened.
But Hill is not stupid. This woman was obviously Natasha's partner in the Soviet Union. She was supposed to be dead, but she ended up living well in the United States until recently. If there wasn't something fishy going on, Hill wouldn't believe it.
"I need to know some truth!"
Natasha said firmly, of course she was not just doing it for this matter: "In addition, just today, obituaries were published in many places, and many of them were people who rebelled from there. Obviously someone planned to purge them. !”
Hill also understood.
But she wouldn't talk to Natasha about these things.
After all, Natasha is no longer from SHIELD.
"I understand. You can leave. Hawkeye is from SHIELD. There are some things that he will not disclose to people outside of SHIELD. He has signed a confidentiality agreement."
But how could Natasha leave.
"What if I have to stay?"
"Then I'm sorry. Natasha, you have been in S.H.I.E.L.D. before, you know the rules, and I don't want our relationship to get into trouble!"
"Rules?" Natasha laughed: "Believe it or not, I will call my dear directly to see if your rules work in front of him?"
That smile must be so arrogant, so arrogant.
Hill's face turned pale immediately.
Like Natasha said, some rules just don't work for some people.
Just like Kai.
Seeing Hill like this, Natasha stopped smiling: "I don't want to make things complicated. I just want to know the truth. After all, I am the person involved!"
Hill stopped talking.
say what?
Whatever you say is self-defeating.
This is why Hill has always hoped that SHIELD can return to the era of Nick Fury.
If Nick Fury was in power, S.H.I.E.L.D. would be much more powerful.
But not now.
But Hill couldn't make a 180-degree turn, so he just kept a calm face and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Natasha is such a smart woman. Seeing this scene, she stopped saying anything exciting.
Laura also hurriedly pulled Natasha over. The two of them had nothing serious to talk about, so they just chatted.
"You and your children, come to New York and live with me. Be safe." As she said that, Natasha became concerned about the safety of Laura and the children.
"Isn't it necessary?"
Laura and her children live outside the city, a bit far from New York. They have a small farm there, which Laura usually takes care of. The children go to school in the town. Although it is not as prosperous as a big city, it is better than safety. , the security of this small place is very good.
"Be careful. This time the killer came directly to Clint. There's no guarantee he won't come to you and the children." Natasha felt that this assassination was not that simple... This is nonsense. If they all were assassinated, things would be simple. Already?
"But..." Laura was still worried about the children. The children still had to go to school. This sudden move... would have a very bad impact on the children.
Hill finally spoke at this time: "Natasha is right. The safety of you and the children is more important. You can move to us. We have a special safe house here at SHIELD. We will also Arrange someone to protect you."
Of course, Hill couldn't help but speak. Hawkeye is a senior agent of SHIELD and one of the few trusted experts by Hill. Although Natasha did this with good intentions, in Hill's view, this matter is in front of NTR. Those are our SHIELD people. Why are you so worried? What, you want to take advantage of the wall?
"Who wants to kill Clinton? He is a good man!" Although Laura is not a housewife who knows nothing, in her mind, Hawkeye is a good man and a good father. Although his job is a bit special, But there’s no need to kill anyone!
These words left both Hill and Natasha speechless.
Well... they don't know who wants to kill Hawkeye. After all... in their line of work, especially since Hawkeye is a field agent who specializes in killing people, there are so many enemies in the world that they can be counted. Don't come.
Some enemies might not even be recognized by Hawkeye.
After all, Hawkeye has killed not only thousands of people in his life, but eight hundred is definitely enough. Those who were killed had few relatives and friends. After all, there are many people who want to kill him. Add in the organizations that suffered because of the Hawkeyes, and when you think about it, that's a lot more.
Secondly, woman... it’s not like you don’t know what your man does, do you really have no B-level in your heart?
The doctor will come out soon.
As expected, Hawkeye is fine. The injury that originally caused his broken arm and leg to be repaired will be fine. If you leave it to the orthopedics department of traditional Chinese medicine, it can be done for you in three minutes. Western medicine is a little more troublesome. It can be solved simply with the help of nano-robots. I didn’t bother to go anywhere. The most I could do was stay in bed and rest for a while.
His brain is fine, he doesn't even have a concussion.
So you can receive guests.
…
Facing Natasha's question, Hawkeye grinned and didn't know what to say.
"Back then... it was indeed Melina's cooperation with us that allowed me to get so much information about you. Even her fake death was our plan."
It's a pity that the killing is already in front of you. Can Hawkeye still tell lies with his eyes open?
"But I really don't know where she is. After Nick Fury sent her to the United States, the senior management took over. After that, Nick probably knew where she was placed, and I never saw her again."
"In other words, everything is fake! The meeting between you and me, the things you told me, and even my disappointment in the red house, were actually arranged by you?"
Hawkeye wanted to say that it was all true.
But what's fake is fake. Although his relationship with Natasha is real,...
"I'm sorry, Natasha...but you are also an agent, you should know."
"I know...I know. I just...well, I'm just naive." Natasha shook her head: "That's right, how can people like us really have feelings?"
"Natasha! Please believe me, I have always regarded you as my best friend! I swear to this!"
Natasha smiled and said nothing.
How could she believe this now.
Laura was there too, and Natasha didn't avoid her.
She quickly grabbed Natasha: "Natasha, I know Clinton has gone too far, but he really trusts you. You are the only person who has been to our home, not even Nick Fury. My family! I believe he has always regarded you as his best friend and the most trusted person!"
This is the truth.
Hawkeye has always paid great attention to protecting his family and will never let his family be exposed to unnecessary sight. Nick Fury has never been a guest at his home. Only Natasha stayed at her house and ate with the family.
Natasha shook her head, then turned and left.
Laura was still ready to catch up.
But Hawkeye held her back.
"It's okay, Natasha just couldn't accept it for the moment, but she will figure it out soon. I was doing it for her own good!"
Even now, Hawkeye really doesn't think there is anything wrong with what he did.
The Soviet Union is an evil country!
Staying there will only make Natasha miserable!
In fact, the United States has never been normal regarding public opinion about the Soviet Union.
This is a given, including throughout the West. In their view, that country was full of oppression and dictatorship.
Even though that country has disappeared for twenty years, Western countries still avoid it like a snake and a scorpion, desperately throwing dirty water on it, for fear that someone will revive it again.
It was also this kind of dirty water that was poured out day after day that made the Soviet Union's reputation simply stinky.
But it works.
At least people who grew up in that era hate the Soviet Union deeply.
Including Clint.
Natasha did feel a little uncomfortable.
She betrayed her country, all the while believing that she had made the right choice. But until now, she discovered that it all stemmed from lies!
Natasha grew up in that country, and it is undeniable that the Soviet Union was not perfect.
Is America a paradise?
How much has she done for SHIELD over the years? Are those things necessarily correct?
Looking back now, she suddenly realized that there was any essential difference between what she did in SHIELD and what she did in the Red Room?
No!
Not at all!
The difference is that the United States won!
It is the only superpower in the world.
This is the only one.
Natasha just felt that she was so ridiculous.
I even thought for a time that I was really on the side of justice. It now appears that she never escaped.
With such complicated emotions, Natasha returned to her residence.
Mima Apartment, one of the best private apartments in Manhattan, has no disadvantages except that it is expensive. It has an excellent location, surrounded by many famous institutions and companies, and has convenient transportation. It's only three blocks away from Stark Tower, so it's very convenient to get to work, and you don't even need to drive.
Natasha lives in a duplex apartment on the fifty-first floor.
It's not expensive, only 1.5 million.
Natasha opened the door and walked in, and immediately felt something was wrong.
There's someone in the house!
And he's a veteran.
The hair she placed in the locks showed no sign of movement!
This is her habit, Natasha has always been insecure. In fact, she didn't like Mima's apartment very much, not because of the environment, but... it wasn't safe enough. Although the building claims to have a complete security system, in Natasha's eyes, that thing is just a joke.
If she really followed Natasha's idea, she would be more willing to live in a house with an underground safe house dozens of meters deep, preferably surrounded by strong poles. Don't let people patrol... Agents know better than anyone that the most unreliable thing in the world is people.
But there is no way, this place is rented to her by the company.
The treatment is so good!
So to ensure safety, she made some small modifications to the house.
As for the little trick of arranging her hair, it is completely a habit, and she will do it wherever she goes.
Natasha immediately pulled out the pistol from her thigh, without turning on the light, and carefully felt where the enemy was hiding.
Soon she found someone.
Breathing.
For ordinary people, it is difficult to hear the breathing of others unless they are breathing heavily, but for a super elite like her, it is not easy to find an unfamiliar breathing sound in a quiet and soundproofed house.
But soon, Natasha felt confused.
The sound of breathing was not hidden.
This doesn't seem like a veteran mistake.
Snapped!
The lights suddenly turned on!
"Long time no see...Natasha."
A woman is sitting on the sofa in the living room.
She meant no harm.
Because she placed all her weapons on the coffee table in front of her.
"Melina..." Natasha did not put down the gun in her hand, still pointing at the incoming person. "You're not dead!"
"I mean no harm!" Melina raised her hands. Natasha's familiar smile appeared.
