   Summary

   After a failed mission, Natasha Romanoff is returned to the Red Room to be corrected. She knows punishment is inevitable, but what she doesn’t know is how deeply the Red Room intends to reach inside her, stripping away choice, and autonomy in the name of perfection. As discipline becomes procedure and loyalty is enforced through suffering, Natasha is once again reshaped by the system that owns her. Inspired by the haunting flashbacks of The Name of the Rose Comic, this story reveals the buried truth behind the Red Room’s long history with the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes, binding them together long before either of them understands what’s been taken from them.
