Marie had heard tell of the starless soldier even in her early days in the widow program. His name was often whispered in the barracks at night, spoken only in the softest of whispers.

Aleksander Morozova.

He had been one of the Red Room's finest before he escaped. Now, he is hunted, always hunted. By the Red Room, by their allies, and their enemies alike. He was often cited, alongside the winter soldier, as a failure: broken. No longer serving his purpose. An example of the life one would be forced to lead after defecting–– in hiding, useless.

BUT MARIE HAD LONG YEARNED TO ESCAPE. She didn't know why, at first, her mind foggy from years of being brainwashed, from the programming branded onto her mind, from a heartache that she never used to understand. It had taken years, but she had managed it. Marie walks free, has spent the last several weeks making her way to her destination. She knows the red room will be coming for her but she doesn't care. Fear is a luxury she had not been able to afford for a long time.

After so many days spent slipping in and out of shadows, stealing and lying, using her skills to get by in a way she was never meant to–– a part of her cannot believe she's finally laying eyes on him. Morozova is almost a myth to her... but something feels familiar, too.

"I'M HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE LIKE ME," she says evenly, not frightened by him despite his intimidating manner. "If there was a time when I experienced patience or mercy, it was nothing but fantasy. I should scarcely expect it now."

SHE FASCINATES HIM - for a moment he'd thought she would join Xavier's futile cause , or perhaps seek safety among the Avengers. Instead she comes here ; risking more than she knows. Aleksandr rises from his table ; obsidian gaze locked upon her for a moment. "And what , might i ask , is so important you would come here?"

SURELY SHE WAS NOT LOOKING FOR A MENTOR IN HIM? many have tried , many he has found useless. Power ; after all , was a fickle thing indeed & Aleksandr was not interested in what he perceived to be weakness. Baghra had never stood for it ; SHE HAD TAUGHT HER SON TO BE STRONG - even if the manner of her teachings could be perceived as cruel. He has to admit there had been some merit to them. "If you are looking for a teacher , i would advise finding someone else. I am not patient , nor merciful. I do not accept failure."

@ephemaera / @infernil sent : “You’re not getting away from me. Never again.” (From Marie to Billy 😭)

HE DOESN’T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO COMMENT , or to even acknowledge the three dead men surrounding them right now. Instead , Billy sinks into her arms , covered in scarlet and closes his eyes. THERE’S A PEACE WHEN MARIE HOLDS HIM - a peace he had been devoid of , moments ago.

MARIE WOULD BE A FOOL TO SAY SHE ISN’T TERRIFIED ––– of what has happened, of what Billy has just done, of what any of this means for her life now. They’d taunted her when they’d taken her, telling her that Russo was coming for her and when he did they’d gut him and make her watch. Maybe it’s that fear that makes her rush to him like he was the one trapped in this room, wondering if he was going to die. Blood seeps into her clothes when she gathers him into her arms, though it doesn’t matter–– her own had dried into the fabric already. ADRENALINE POUNDS TOO LOUDLY IN HER EARS FOR HER TO CARE that it hadn’t bothered her to watch Billy kill those men–– it had only made her worry for him.

#𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐄. and in the dark, i can hear your heartbeat. I tried to find the sound , but then it stopped and I was in the darkness. So darkness I became.

“𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐲 -𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭, 𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫, 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.”

“I will tell you a story, one I used to tell to a little boy with dark hair. A silent boy who rarely laughs, who listened more closely than I realized. A boy who had a name and not a title”

“With the last bit of his strength, he tore his arm free and lashed out blindly, furiously, with all his terror and rage, with all the hope that had been born and died this day. Let me make a mark on this world before I leave it.”
