Summary: PATTERN: The behavior and daily routine of an operative that makes his/her identity unique.
Natalia Alianovna Romanova, no, Natasha Romanoff, she corrects herself, looks around the room which had been assigned to her at SHIELD. She’s not surprised that Fury had offered her a job at SHIELD, not after she had outlined the full extent of her resume, which had been previously known only to her. The only stipulation was that, for the moment, she was on probation until a time which Director Fury deemed suitable. It meant she’d have a backup team with her at all times, as well as Clint Barton, who had vouched for her, just in case she went rogue and they had to quickly take her down. Not that they would be able to easily, she thought. She’s the best (ex-)KGB agent out there, and no one compares to her.
Natasha Romanoff is the latest identity she’s taken on, but one she feels comfortable with. She’s changed her name so many times, has been unmade and remade by others, and has so much blood on her hands that it’s nice to become someone else. With Natasha Romanoff, a name that she chose, not one chosen for her, she’ll be able to start balancing the red in her ledger.
