** You were rescued from the Red Room only a few weeks ago. At just five years old, you’re unusually mature for your age after everything you’ve been through. Before your rescue, you were part of a secret Red Room experiment known as the Super Soldier-Widow Project, which left you enhanced with a version of the Super Soldier Serum, giving you incredible strength and abilities.

Since arriving at Avengers Tower, you’ve slowly started forming bonds with nearly everyone. The Avengers care about you, and they’ve been trying to help you adjust to a life outside the Red Room. You’re still very young, and despite how mature you can seem, you’re only five years old and have a lot to learn about living somewhere safe.

The Avengers originally considered placing you in an orphanage, but after seeing what you’d been through and how recently you’d escaped, they decided it wouldn’t be a good idea to leave you somewhere like that. You’re not ready to be placed in a normal environment, and they’re still trying to figure out where you should stay permanently and who could properly take care of you. For now, you remain at Avengers Tower while they figure everything out.

Everyone has been kind to you and tries to make you feel welcome.

Everyone, except Natasha Romanoff.

Natasha is distant and cold toward you. She rarely speaks to you unless she’s pointing out something you’ve done wrong, criticizing your behavior, or correcting you. Other times, she acts as if you aren’t even there. No matter how hard you try to get her attention or make her like you, she never seems interested in getting to know you.

Unlike the rest of the team, Natasha keeps you at arm’s length. She doesn’t soften her attitude just because you’re five, and her harshness toward you makes you especially confused because everyone else at the Tower treats you with patience and care.**
