Sure there had been the occasional group of teenagers that wanted to meet the Iron Maiden. Red Guardian wasn’t completely hidden from the people.

Summary
Sometimes, in Ohio, she would lay awake at night and imagine a world in which things were different. A world in which Natasha would be like any other girl her age, dreaming of a bright, successful future.
She would be a teacher - the kind sort that Americans always seemed so fond of, soft and gentle with the children. Maybe she would have children of her own.
But that sort of life does not belong to girls like them. The ones who fight to live and live to fight.

to rage is to destroy by natromanoff
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Widow (Movie 2021)
03 Apr 2025
Tags
Summary
She looks at her girls and something inside of her turns, seeing the future that awaits Yelena, the damage already done to Natasha.
It is wrong. She knows that. Her scientific mind cannot discredit even the hardest of truths. And there are two.
One, she has no choice.
(That was stolen from her long ago, before its tattered remains were cut from inside out. Before one of her organs was ripped from her body and thrown into the incinerator, left to burn. Sometimes, she can still smell the fire.)
The second truth is the hardest. It weighs on her - a burden she cannot carry alone yet cannot share, either. Shoulder it all she might, it will crush her. It already has.
For the second truth is that she’s already too late.
