Warnings: None really at the moment.

Plot: Natalia Romanova is one of the best in the Red Room. Her along with her best friend Yelena Belova. 

One day, the director of the Red Room sends her on a very important assignment with a very important master assassin. One that most people, even in the most underground organizations don't even know about.

Note: None of the characters here are actually canon except for Natasha, Bucky, and Yelena in this series.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Again.”

“Are you fucking kidding me?” thought Natasha, exchanging a look of fury with her despite the fact that she was one of the highest regarded guest evaluators in all of Russia. Natasha looked back at the guy of whom she had just annihilated in a sparring match once again. If Anya should be picking on anybody, it should have been that loser who was gathering his bearings again. And he was supposed to be one of the best guys at her level. Pathetic. She stared into his eyes as though she were ready to kill him, and he stared back at her in the same manner. The only difference was that he had more bruises on his face. The fact that he had the nerve to look at her that way made her blood boil, even though she knew that he had nothing on her. Not anymore. “Okay, we're done now,” Anya announced abruptly after listening to something in her earpiece. It was strange the sudden change of heart, (on either her end or somebody else’s), but Natasha didn’t question it. She sighed, and swiftly walked her way out of the room not giving either of them a second glance. When she swung the door open, she found Yelena leaning against the wall across from her. 

“They kept you in for a little while, huh sister?”

A little while was an understatement. There were five evaluators in the beginning, and multiple girls and boys training in that room. Eventually, all of the other evaluators were gone except for Anya, and all the rest of the agents were able to leave within the first couple of hours. All except for Natasha and that other boy who’s name she didn’t bother to learn. “I don’t know why, or who she thinks she is to keep me for so long,” Natasha growled. “They had us in for another two hours than the rest for no reason. She knows I’m good. Everybody here knows that I’m good. I should have been the first to be able to leave.” Yelena did her best to try to comfort Natasha, despite the fact that Natasha knew that she was reveling in the fact that indeed she was the first to leave. “Well maybe she wanted to see how you beat him over and over again compared to the others,” Yelena replied. “Maybe your fighting skills changed, and they simply wanted to observe. Natasha rolled her eyes. That was never how things worked in the Red Room. They always let the stronger ones leave first, and pushed the weaker ones for as long as they could for hours upon hours until their bodies could handle the stress no longer. She remembered when she was younger, and weaker when she and three other girls were stuck in there for 9 hours one time. Natasha made sure to make her way to the top just to avoid the humiliation of having to stay that long in those evaluation sessions again. She trained and trained against some of the toughest girls. And as time went on, evaluation sessions grew shorter and shorter as she made her way to the top. At this point, her best friend Yelena was her only match. That face alone made Natasha was confused as to why they didn’t pair the two together on the first round, and let them go as soon as possible. What frustrated her more as that they let Yelena out by the third round instead of her. “Come on, sister,” said Yelena throwing her arm around Natasha to take her over to the mess hall. 

… “So,” Yelena started. “Did you hear the news?” Natasha narrowed her eyes. “Will I have to pull it out of you? Or can I finish my pasta as you tell me?” Yelena raised an eyebrow and shrugged. “Apparently, we have a special guest coming in.” Natasha stared blankly at her. “Wasn’t Anya supposed to be our special guest of the week?” Natasha replied.   Yelena shook her head. Natasha also realized that she had never seen Yelena look as excited as she did right then. She looked like a teenage school girl that had just heard a rumor that her crush was going to ask her on a date any minute.   “Apparently, he’s a super-secret master assassin. He might be training some of us. And even better, they could be preparing to send a couple of us on an assignment or two with him.” Natasha froze and stared at Yelena’s excited expression. She still wasn’t sure whether she should actually care or not. “Do you know who it is?” Natasha inquired, deciding that she was not convinced. “No,” she scowled. “Then how do you know if it’s true?”   She looked side to side to see if anyone could be listening. “Vanya told me that last night after sneaking back in during the late hours, he came across crew bringing someone in. Full security.” “Yelena,” Natasha sighed. She nodded. “If he’s a master assassin, why would he need security?” She shrugged. “Well, that’s all that Vanya told me. Maybe he’s just that important.” Natasha was even less convinced. And she could also tell that Yelena held on to that leaked information because she was hoping to be that special agent. Even if it were true, Natasha couldn’t deny that Yelena would have deserved it. She worked hard, completed her missions without the need for emergency backup most of the time, and all of their instructors and commanding officers did love and fall for her charm. That fact alone was very important to her. She would often lecture Natasha to make herself more pleasant. “Just because you’re one of the best around here, doesn’t mean you can’t act a little nicer,” she would often say. She wasn’t wrong. But as of yet, Natasha had no reason to believe that she would face any sort of consequence for her attitude as long as she maintained, and continued to excel in her level of skill. “I can tell that you don’t believe me,” she huffed, narrowing her eyes. Natasha gave in. “Okay, okay, maybe you’re right,” Natasha groaned sarcastically, but lightheartedly. “Maybe Vanya wasn’t totally full of shit, and you’re going to do whatever project you’ll be asked to do with this evangelical master assassin. Are you happy?” Both Natasha and Yelena giggled. “Well, well, well,” said a voice approaching from behind Natasha. She turned and found one of her least favorite assistant to the director. “Ari,” she greeted dryly. “What a pleasure.” He maintained a neutral facial expression so as to not outwardly acknowledge his annoyance. “Natalia, the head would like to see you in twenty minutes.” She frowned. Both out of curiosity, and the continuation of her mild annoyance. Nobody called her Natalia anymore unless it was for something serious. She hadn’t gone by that name since last year after going on a three-month-long undercover assignment in London where she was instructed to go by the name ‘Natasha’. She insisted on sticking with the name ever since.   She turned to Yelena who seemed equally intrigued. And maybe even a little bit…Disappointed? “Well how about right now?” she suggested.   “Well, you could finish—” “I said,” Natasha interrupted rudely.   “Let’s go now,” Natasha could feel his anger begin to boil with her attitude. It wasn’t necessarily her suggestion at all that frustrated him. It was more her tone that taunted him; and she knew how to get to him every time they spoke. She did it because she knew that he had no real merit to mess with her. The last time he did, his higher ups had a very stern talking to for berating one of their best agents the way he did over something so small. They only felt that way because they knew that she would act out if he kept that up. Therefore, Natasha knew that she had the upper hand over him attitude-wise. So she took whatever opportunity she could to push him right to the edge, but not quite over it. It was her favorite part of their interactions.   “Okay, let’s go.” … “Ah, Natalia, there you are,” said Nikolai, the director of the Red Room. She sat down on the chair placed on the other side of his desk. “Nikolai,” she replied, stern-faced. “To what do I owe this pleasant interaction?”   He straightened his back, and matched her expression, reminding her of her place. She took note, and held back. “You fought hard today,” he stated. She held back a scoff. Actually, she held back more than that. She wanted to know what the hell happened during evaluations. “Was that what Anya told you?” “I was observing from up top,” he replied. “I haven’t actually spoken with Anya yet.” She often forgot that above the training room there were one-sided glass windows to observe all agents. It was easy to forget because nobody could see from inside the room. “So what happened?” she questioned. “Was I not to your liking today or what?” “Oh, the opposite,” he answered. Natasha tilted her head. “We have a special assignment. And we need nothing but the best.” Natasha started to feel a mischievous smile curl at the corner of her lips. “The best?” “Well don’t act like you’re surprised, Natalia. You would tear everybody apart around here just to prove yourself if we thought differently. But we just had to be sure; which was why we kept you for so long.” She shrugged. She really would do anything to stay one of the best. “Even more so than me, he needed to be sure.” “He?” she thought. Who was this figurative he? “Natalia, over the next few days, you are going to learn a lot. Very important things that not everybody here knows about. You will learn about people that many don’t know even exist, or will ever know to exist. Do you understand?” Once again…Yelena was right. Natasha stared deep and wide-eyed into Vanya’s eyes like a starving child. She wanted to know more. She wanted to know everything. And she wanted to know now.

Lucie-Marezi Gohanz || Custom MC/Persona

So here are the promised references of my persona/custom MC for Mystic Messenger ahah ^^ I’ll have a few more doodles and information about her under the cut! 

But basically, she’s just me, lolol ^^

Lucie-Marezi Pam Gohanz 

- Prefers to be called “Maple” over her real name, but won’t complain. Doesn’t mind “Lucie” or “Marezi” by itself, though she definitely favours “Marezi” due to it’s uniqueness 

Age: 22 years 

Height: 4′7″ (144.7cm)

Likes: The colour/shades of pink and red, ice-cream (cookies and cream, caramel or strawberry? now that’s a hard choice…), galaxy aesthetics, stars, starry nights, space in general, flowers, cats, bows, sweets, drawing, writing, reading, anime (lol)

Dislikes/Fears: heights, being left behind, spontaneous social interaction, snakes, spiders, seeing wounds/injuries (will definitely and instantly care to those wounds), pressure, dishonesty, gore/horror/thrillers of any kind, shape or form, fighting/confrontation (but will suck up her fear so that both parties are relieved and better), death to anyone

> Is very anxious (every second of every day) and quiet, but when desired or relaxed enough, she will be loud and crazy, but serious and sensible. She doesn’t wish to embarrass herself or those around her, especially those she has just met and her family.

> Proud optimist! Will always try her best to have others look at the bright side while she does too, but will look at the reality of things too.

> Gives hugs, cuddles, quiet reassurances and hold hands with her sad friends, before pulling a few jokes/ attempting to make them laugh. She will also try to get them to open up about their sadness.

> Enjoys lazy days cooped up in her room, drawing the day away (if it be for herself or her work), reading a good amount of writing online, and watching videos to pass time. 

>Simultaneously short-tempered and calm. One minute, she’ll be yelling about some small thing that set her off, the next, she’ll be asking about your day, it thoroughly confuses the RFA and herself. 

> Tries her best to cook, but always ends up messing up at least one thing due to her nerves, so she needs a buddy who’ll be able to calm her down and deal with her ever squeaky screeches of stress.

> Game Dev/Artist, who’s currently working on a quiet project with a few of her friends. But she’s failing on the “quiet” part… 

> She basically blabbers about the project to her fans on Tripter, sometimes sneaking a few screenshots of progress, before deleting the post a couple hours later (Seven definitely saves those shots)

> Always, and I mean always, laughing and smiling when talking with her friends (which includes the RFA) face to face. It had become a habit of hers when she had to wear braces in her younger years.

> Enjoys being short, doesn’t let it bug her one bit.

> A proud asexual.

Alright :D meeting is underneath the cut, but it’s heavily oc x canon >_>

She meets the gang (in person) after the whole Mint Eye thing is resolved (4 months after, to be exact), and Saeran is tomato head! MC ends up with Yoosung, but she helped Seven look for Saeran. The entire RFA is the same age as they were when MC met them in this, and agree that there will be no more secrets, and the twins’ father is behind bars. This is also based on a thing I’m writing, which I won’t be releasing;; it’ll be too embarrassing >///<;;

> She actually visits the same café the RFA do! But she didn’t meet them the way you’d probably think. Seven’s actually one of three fans in the group (the other two being his brother and Yoosung) and he became friends with her over the net when he had “accidentally” hacked (Saeran knows) into her account and called out a bunch of people who were bothering her professional life (she was mortified when she found that post on her page, along with the apologies in her DMs). After that, she basically scrolled through the internet and relied on her knowledge of coding to try and find information about the person behind the hack. But compared to Seven, her skills her miniscule. 

> Eventually, though, after a few hours of Seven watching her try to make a dent in his firewall, he gives in and messages her phone directly. It startles her, but overtime, they developed into a friendship from there on out.

> Though, they both don’t know what the other looks like (Saeran was pissed when he found out and basically fights against his brother when he tries to hack into her camera to sneak a glance, even when he thinks Saeran isn’t looking. His reason; “You promised not the hack into anything, and you already have, so at least respect the privacy she asks for on her blog”)

> Eventually gives up, but he’s bummed.

> They find out about their identities one day at the café, after being friends for 7 months now. At this point, the two were close knit. 

> Basically, the two were at the café (Seven with the RFA while she’s by herself, the usual) and he had just sent her a joke. She ends up giggling, catching his attention. 

> Brushes it off, so the convo continues. 

> But then, she gets dizzy from her lack of sleep. She was used to her dizzy spells, so she shrugged it off and tried to type out her next message, but she ends up fainting, causing a commotion. 

> It alarms everyone, especially Seven. The RFA members sort of gravitated towards the limp body while the staff at the café try to sort out the situation. Seven sort of shrugs it off, but then realises that his chat buddy had yet to respond, which was strange. She didn’t mention any task that had come to her attention, something she’d usually do, so it concerned him, 

> He reassures himself, however, saying that she probably was busy. 

> That was until he notices that she hasn’t responded for 2 days now.

> He than hacks to figure out her location and his stomach sinks. He basically runs out of the house and straight to the hospital, to find out where his friend was. 

> It was tricky, trying to get into the room, but he manages to get in, revealing a truth he had already been suspecting.

> The girl was the one he had seen in the cafe! 

> Said girl was startled by the appearance of a worried man practically busting the door open, her heartbeat was skyrocketing at his appearance. But those glasses caught her off-guard. That couldn’t be…

> Lo and behold, the man introduces himself as God7, her pancake. This causes the girl to laugh, surprised he had actually used that silly nickname that she had only used to address him once. However, she questions how he found out where she was, earning a nervous chuckle.

> She catches the hint, remembering him mentioning that he used to hack as a profession and how they had became friends, so she sighs and just apologises for not being in contact. “I have my phone with me so that I can check the time and message my family, I did want to contact you, but it’s already hard enough to message them.” She explains.

> She’s about to explain more, but Seven interrupts her, pulling her into an unexpected hug. She hugs him back. 

> Not before she says, with a big smirk, “Soo, should I continue to call you God7, oor should I call you Saeyoung?” 

> He laughs, before telling her to call him by his real name. “And what should I call you?”

> She hums. “Lucie-Marezi is a mouthful…” She says. “So, just continue to call me Maple, but you can use my real name.”

> After that, Saeyoung visits everyday until she is dispatched. He’s always messaging her if she’d eaten, when to sleep, how well she slept, etc., not wanting the same thing to happen again. He also uses her real name more frequently than she thought he would, what’s more shocking is that she doesn’t mind it and finds it nice. 

> And when they are under the same cafe roof, Saeyoung wastes no time in introducing her to the rest of his friends, who quickly become friends with Lucie. 

> And a few months after that, they got together and now the RFA deal with two Sevens. 

> During their first months of being together, Lucie is a bit on the flustered side of things whenever they do cutesy things, she still is afterwards too, but she doesn’t snap at him like she did at first. She will not admit it, but she enjoys those quiet moments when they’re doing those things. She does, however, tell Saeyoung of her asexuality, to which he doesn’t mind. He does become cautious over his actions, he’s scared that if he does one wrong thing, he’ll lose one of his most precious friends. 

> Seayoung basically joins her in creating the game, gushing over everything with the same energy as Lucie.
