Kat can't stop thinking about all the what-ifs? as tears of pain running down her cheeks, bringing her knees up to her chest, on the cold bathroom floor.

Her mind is very chaotic as she let it all out, and memories flooded back in her mind.

 | After Natasha's attempt to take down the Red Room

After Dreykov moved his base of operations in Budapest, Clint and Natasha had planted bombs where he was almost killed, He and his daughter barely survived the blast.

He is seriously injured and made sure no one escaped even Natasha Romanoff tried to ruin all his plans.

Dreykov has created a new program called "Red Widow Program" and he would make sure these students would be better than Natasha Romanoff.

He sat on his desk in his big office while looking at the holograms and picking high-ranking girls who would join the new program.

He paused the hologram when he saw great potential in the girl he examined. In the hologram, there was an image of a girl who has pale skin and raven black hair. Orlova, Katerina Nikolaevna Born 1987 was shown.

At the side of his desk, Madame B. was standing helping him decide who he should pick.

Madame B. was a supervisor for the Red Room program and was responsible for training female assassins at the Red Room facility alongside Dreykov.

"Who is this girl? she looks familiar. bring her here and let me see her in person" Dreykov commanded.

Madame B. nodded her head. "Of course, General Dreykov" After that, she stepped out of his office to go and fetch Kat.

Kat has a normal assassin day as always. Every morning, one of the instructors would enter the room and open the handcuffs that tied each girl to the bed frame to prevent them from escaping.

Her next training is a ballet dance lesson, the easiest for her. she had it figured out since she started, everybody loves pretty, everybody loves tough so she tried her best to do it all.

And She noticed that she was growing up. But not in the exciting way she imagined.

Had she known her teenage years would be spent in torture. Nostalgia boiled through her as the memories began to fade more and more. She was growing up but she was growing into the person she had never wanted to be.

It's been months since she hasn't seen Yelena, they're not on the same level or ranking so it's very difficult to contact her 'cause their programs and training are not the same.

Since they moved their location every girl is talking about Natasha Romanoff and how she betrayed Dreykov and the Red Room, some love her for it, some are mad at her for it, but Kat thinks Natasha would come here to save them and take down the Red Room.

She kept thinking about her and she got excited about it, she can finally be free and leave this shitty place.

She was about to put her hair in a clean bun as the instructor is waiting impatiently for them to finish.

Suddenly Madame B. burst in the door making the girls turned their heads to look at her. She looked around and spotted her, she locked eyes and walked towards her.

Kat's breath hitched. What did she do wrong? Is it about Natasha? she kept questioning herself until Madame B. was in front of her.

"General Dreykov wanted to see you," said Madame B. calmly. 

She became more nervous, General Dreykov wanted to see her? all her training are perfect she never did a mistake before.

She nodded. Her body looked calm but her mind is very messy.

She followed Madame B. from behind then the woman opened the big door for her, before she steps in Madame B. gave her a warning look, she's probably telling her that she should be polite toward Dreykov. She stepped inside and saw Dreykov sitting on his desk.

Her heart was beating quickly and her mind is racing a mile a minute as she walked towards him. she was nervous because she knows what he did to girls who don't listen.

He stood from his desk when he saw her, he has a devilish smile on his face and opened his arms, signaling her to move forward.

Kat walked forward.

"Ah . . . Melina's daughter da?" He grinned.

She nodded solemnly. she hasn't heard that name for so long, she knew she was adopted by her so she just agreed. 

He moved forward. "You're special" he smiled, tucking a lock of black hair behind the girl's ear. "I knew what you were from the beginning. I could smell the blood you were born to spill, girl" he added with a grin.

She faked a smile but that's not obviously what she wanted, she wished Natasha would come here sooner to save them.

| After the battle of New York

It was a few years before when Kat was chosen to be in the Red Room program which is two times harder than the Black Widow program, she was put through strenuous daily training, hand-to-hand combat training, acrobatics, weapon training, and tactical skills.

She stopped thinking about Natasha who she'd thought would save her but she can't make her fury go away by making her a villain

Now everyone was talking about her again, and how she saved the people by fighting in the battle of New York, while she's out there saving the world she and Yelena were stuck in this place.

She felt sick in the stomach about the thought that Yelena is out there doing the same thing as she did, she wished she could save her, unlike Natasha.

Does she ever think about her? And they all wanna be her but is she still the same sister who would protect them?

Today is Kat's Graduation Ceremony, which takes place after she successfully passed a series of physical and mental tests, supposedly make her a better killer for she'll never have any weaknesses.

It wasn't a big deal for Kat, she didn't know if she wanted a family for she hasn't experienced falling in love yet. She doesn't even want to be a mother, who would even like her as their mother?

To graduate, Kat and another student was chosen to violently spar against each other; it's either she'll kill her or she'll get killed.

She's in a fighting room with her opponent, including Madame B. watching them. Though it looked like an equal match at first, Kat managed to overpower her opponent and grabbed her by the neck, With a gesture, she successfully broke her opponent's neck.

Madame B. gave her a cold smile. "Congratulations Katerina, we'll celebrate after the graduation ceremony," she said decidedly.

Kat didn't know what to feel so she just nodded 'cause they would do it anyway even if she refused.

Her instructors and the other girls had greeted her. And they told her that she's lucky but she's so confused 'cause she doesn't feel strong she just feels used and all the young girls would line up to take her place. 

She wondered if she'll make it out alive.

| End of Flashback

Kat sat on the bathroom floor as she remembered all those shitty memories then she heard a loud noise outside.

She burst out of the bathroom frantically with her gun in her hand and walked where the sound came from. She saw Yelena's body and Natasha's body next to her. She gasped but have no time to panic then she bent down to check their pulse.

She stood up hurriedly when she felt a person behind her. She points her gun at the person who happens to be her mother. 

She lowered her gun and scrunched her face. "What the hell is this?"

Melina gave her an apologetic face. "I'm sorry" then she points her widow bites and electrified her, making her groan in pain and fall.

Then everything went black.
