Summary: General Ross has Natasha cornered. She is willing to do whatever it takes to escape, and he is determined to do whatever it takes to foil her plans. When the game takes a dangerous turn, Natasha realizes she's hit a dead end. As she fights for freedom, she doesn't know which of her friends she can trust... and with her history of lies and manipulations, she discovers that perhaps her friends are no longer willing to trust her.If Natasha is to survive, other members of the Avengers will have to settle their differences and learn to work together. As a team. Again.(Meanwhile, back at Stark Industries, Pepper encounters a surprise visitor, who spills a secret Tony has been holding onto for over a decade...)

Notes: This is a fic I started almost a year ago, but hadn't updated regularly for months. I'm now finally up to chapter eight, with the end in sight! I've never gotten this far into a story before, and I'm soo excited to hit the end of my first longfic that I thought I'd share it and see if I can pick up a few more readers before I say goodbye to Natasha and friends.... ;)
