Interlude Natasha
Natasha was a spy since she was a child.
Her training was very exhausting. She had to know almost everything. From killing to seducing. Natasha spent many years performing her role until she met Barton in Budapest. He was sent with a mission. Kill her. She was on a mission to kill a politician. It ended up that Natasha went with the injured Barton to America, where Shield gave her a second chance.
Loki was the same as any other. Vain, arrogant, and easily manipulated. And yet Natasha could not help but feel that there was more in him.
Director Fury called her because Loki came to The Stark Tower with an unknown woman after his escape. Moreover, Thor confirmed that his adopted brother can hide the tesseract so that they cannot find it. She sighed. Thor was really bad at giving important information.
Natasha thought: Why didn't Loki do this sooner? After delivering the army, he should hide the tesseract immediately. However, he left it.
She knew Loki was mad. But had madness overwhelmed him so much that he couldn't think logically?
Loki, however, disappeared with the woman who called herself Sylvie.
Natasha analyzed the recording very carefully.
Sylvie was alone all her life.
Until she met Loki.
She was protecting him fiercely.
She was ready to kill everyone in sight because of Loki.
She seemed genuinely unaware of Loki's cruelty. She even thought it was ridiculous to say something like that.
Natasha felt a spark of appreciation for Loki that he was able to hide his nature in such away.
Eventually, the Avengers caught Sylvie and Natasha was sent to question her. They must have known what Loki was up to.
Natasha introduced herself. Sylvie looked unimpressed and she seemed unaware of the Shield. But how could she be so ignorant? Natasha was looking for a lie in her attitude. But she didn't see it. Did Loki hide everything from her? For what? If he wanted to be king, she was probably supposed to be queen. Though Sylvie didn't seem to have romantic feelings for Loki. Just caring and protectiveness. Natasha did not see any sexual attraction between Sylvie and Loki. But Sylvie copied Loki's clothes exactly, was very protective of him, and seemed to be blind to his flaws. A typical easy woman who is easy to deceive. Loki did this to her. All that Natasha had to do would convince Sylvie that Loki didn't care about her. Then Sylvie would want revenge and tell them everything.
"Interesting, because you know Loki. Didn't he mention us?" said Natasha.
"He didn't mention. We had more interesting topics to talk about," Sylvie replied.
"For example?" Natasha asked.
"For example, how to defeat the three cosmic lizards from controlling all reality," said Sylvie.
Sylvie used an absolutely weak lie.
Natasha decided to change her method. She needed Sylvie to start talking about Loki. How did they meet? How did Loki manage to trick her? Natasha needed to sow discord between Sylvie and Loki.
"Sylvie, right? How do you know Loki? You're not from Asgard, are you?" Natasha asked.
"How do I know Loki? Well, he destroyed my plan, which I had been planning for many years. We fought a bit over that," Sylvie replied.
"And what was that plan?" Natasha asked.
"I assure you it did not cover your ridiculous planet, so you don't have to worry," Sylvie replied.
"If he destroyed your plan, why are you protecting him?" Natasha asked.
How did Loki do it? If Sylvie didn't like him at first, why was she ready to kill for him now.
"He could have destroyed it at first, but then he helped me make it," Sylvie replied.
"So your plan was successful? What did it involve? Power, control over something?" Natasha asked. Did they share a lust for power?
"Revenge," Sylvie replied
"Revenge on whom?" inquired Natasha
"It doesn't matter, mortal," Sylvie replied.
"You're calling me mortal, so you're not from Earth? Where are you from?" Natasha asked.
"From the same place as Loki," Sylvie replied.
"Don't lie. You are not from Asgard," replied Natasha. Thor's information was clear. Sylvie was not from Asgard but another world. Vanaheim or Alfheim.
Sylvie began to remain silent. Natasha decided to use a dirty technique. She knew she couldn't hurt the woman who pushed Loki to the floor without any problems. But Sylvie still had hair, eyes, lips. Very sensitive places that were easy to hurt. And Sylvie couldn't move.
Natasha knew it was immoral. However, she did it a thousand times. Even in Shield. Loki threatened her world. Natasha needed information and got closer to Sylvie. Then Sylvie touched her.
Suddenly Natasha was sitting in front of Madame Olga. She wasn't good again. Punishment awaits her. Madame Olga looked different. She usually had black hair and glasses. And she wore black. Now Madame Olga had blonde hair and a green dress.
"Get that hammer off me," Madame Olga said.
Natasha tried to obey the order. Maybe she would be lucky and Madame Olga wouldn't punish her. However, the hammer did not move.
Suddenly Natasha was back in the room with Sylvie and the other Avengers. It took her a moment to understand. She was mind-controlled. Scepter, now a girlfriend.
Loki really liked mind control.
