The Avengers all stood outside of Avengers tower ready for a fight to go on. Tony had set uo many differnt devices to stop Alexei if all things go wrong. 
When Natasha returned from her 'talk' with Yelena and none of the other avengers had the courage to speak to her because of the intense look on her face. 

Out in the distance as the fog rolled into view two figures came walking up to them. Steve looked at Natasha, who wore a stone cold look on her face. He took a deep breath and brought his attention back up to Alexei and Yelena. 

"Well the whole crew is here. It's a goodbye party i am hoping. man i love goodbye parties." 

"i bet people love celebrating when you leave." Tony asked, his helmet opening up. 

"well i know who i will miss the least. So Natalia. have you packed ?" He asked. Natasha stared at him then looked at all of her team. she put her hand on her gun. 

"i am sorry." She muttered, and in one swift movement she had the gun to her head. everyone looked at her. Yelena gave her a look, a angry look. Alexei walked up close to her. 

"do it." he said. 

"Natasha. don't." Steve said. 

"do it. you can watch what i do to your team in heavan. or wait wouldn't you go to hell?" Alexei stood in front of her as she threw the gun to the floor. She couldn't let her team get hurt. 
"Good girl." 

Steve and the other avenger watched Alexei. Everything was going according to their plan. Steve, was a bit spectical about this because, there was a chance Natasha could get hurt. and If she gets hurt she would never forgive himself for it.  
" We should get going darling. we have a world to destroy." He put his arm on her back and then using his own move, Natasha took hold of his arm throwing him to the ground. 

"You really shouldn't have done that." Alexei groaned on the floor from the impact. "Yelena call for back up now." He said, Pain still evendint because Natasha's knee was in his stomack. 

Yelena was queit and looked down at him. Alexei yelled at her to focus, She took out her gun and aimed it. They couldn't tell if it was at Natasha or at Alexei. Steve was about to stop her, but men came out shooting all around them. 

"Yelena do as i tell you!" He threatened. 

"No." She spoke. 

"What" 

"i am tired of you bossing me around. for nothing! You are done Alexei." 

"you are making a very big mistake." 

"No she isn't." Natasha spoke. "she is doing what i should have done years ago. Kill you."  Natasha spat. 

"you don't have the guts Natasha. you and i both know that." Natasha looked at Yelena. Alexei was practically laughing on the ground. He never imagined Yelena laying a finger on him. It was clear she was broken and damaged. And if she really had the courage she would have done it years. 

 "no i don't but she does." 

"You are mistake Natalia." 

"You are weak Yelena. Pathetic. you need me to save you sad pathetic life. what do you plan on doing once i am gone? you will have nothing if you don't have me and franckly neither will you Natalia. I mean look at your life. you are surronded by men who were too childish to admit dress up time was over. they are making you weak." 

"They are not my weakness you are." Natasha growled. 

"I am not your weakness. i am your strength. and if you haven't figured that one out yet that's your problem." 

"No." Yelena spoke. "Her weakness is not them, it is you. you are mine too. You tell us you want to change the way Ivan did things, but the whole truth is you just want to be just like him. you are obsessed with power and that will be how you die. how you fail in this." 

"I haven't failed if i have gotten under your skin. if i have planted the idea of my plan into you. You don't have the power to kill me just admit it Yelena." 

"You aren't my weakness, because if you were then i wouldn't be able to this." She said and held the gun to his face. "I have no weakness not anymore." 

*BANG*

Natasha opened her eyes and saw blood. Everywhere. The red room was dead. Alexei was dead. Yelena was gone. Vanished. She had finally made it out. 
Steve ran toward her and put his hand on her face. 

"are you okay?" he asked in a low sweet voice. Natasha didn't answer, but she busted out into tears. Steve hugged her. "it's okay, he is gone. the nightmares can stop. you are safe you are with me." Steve kissed her head. The truth was, no matter how bad Alexei and Yelena were they were her first family. no matter how much sickness and horror they brought her they were still the people that showed her the ways of a family. But she has a family now. a real family. not a pity family. a family she chose to be with. a family she will choose. 

Natasha looked up into Steve concerned baby blue eyes. she leaned in pressing her lips to his. She was safe. Safe for now. Safe with him. She was her new hope. She relied on people so much before. Bad people. that turned her into a bad person. But now she can trust the Avengers. she can trust her family. She can trust in hope. She can trust in Steve. she pulled away.

"the nightmares may stop but they will always be my haunted memories. " 

"i will be your dream catcher then."
