ONTHE OUTSKIRTS OF ODESSA, UKRAINE

NEARTHE BLACK SEA

Natasha Romanoff hated pierogies—but more than that, she hated lies.

Lying she was fine with. Lying was a necessity, a tool of her tradecraft. It was being lied to that she hated, even if it was how she had been raised.

Everything Ivan used to say was a lie.

Ivan Somodorov,Ivan the Strange.

It was the dumpling moon that brought it all back now. 

She climbed higher as she remembered the words, but even Natasha Romanoff, newly minted agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., former daughter of Mother Russia, couldn’t escape Ivan Somodorov. 

Not any more than she could escape the snipers positioned on every neighboring rooftop or the barbed wire on the perimeter fence. 

It was Ivan she remembered. 

Ivan who had taught her how to shoot a Russian sniper rifle and to never use anything but a German pistol, preferably an HK or a Glock—no matter how you felt about the Germans. 

How to change out the barrel and action of an assault weapon in seconds and to modify her trigger so it broke like glass. 

How to cover her tracks, how to hide from the SVR and the FSB and the FSO—all the legitimate organizations that the KGB had become when it was the KGB no more. 

Alone and defenseless, half the time she felt like a thrashing rabbit caught in a winter trap.

“That’s all I ask. A clean kill. A soldier’s death. Do not shame me.”
