merryghoul: Black widow (black widow)

This is a drabble I wrote in 2012 while doing an initial dip into writing MCU fic. This drabble was originally posted with something else I don’t want my name attached to today, hence the repost.

Title: Many Colors | AO3
Rating: G
Character: Natasha
Summary: It took a while for Natasha to wear black. (Incorporates some comic book canon.) For [community profile] fic_promptly.

At first, Natasha didn't have a regular costume. She would wear multicolored dresses along with her weaponry, including her Widow's Bite. She was a Soviet spy who had to blend into her environment.

Things changed when she met Clint and S.H.I.E.L.D. Because of how active she was, she needed a new outfit. The outfit had to reflect her training and the physical enhancements she received from the Black Widow Ops program. In a hurry, she went with a black mask, a black leotard and fishnets. She had no time to get a proper outfit.

The fishnets ripped a lot and didn't protect her from any damage while the mask frequently got into her eyes. When she arrived in America, Natasha needed something that would prevent her from injuries from herself and others. That was when Natasha adopted her catsuit.

The catsuit was a badge and a reminder. Natasha couldn't choose her costumes in the Soviet Union, but in America, she chose the catsuit. Those dresses represented oppression in Natasha's mind. Black, on the other hand? Black was freedom.
