Marvel's female superheroine travels through multiple worlds

However, at this moment, Supergirl's eyes were empty and lifeless, as if her spirit had left her body and she was still asleep.

“Natasha Romanov, whose original name was Natalia Arianovna Romanova, was born in 1984.” Lu Yunmeng suddenly spoke, her tone calm and steady.

Natasha was slightly startled, but as a top agent who had weathered countless storms, she quickly regained her composure.

She knew in her heart that although this information was relatively secretive, it would not be difficult for a superwoman with such powerful abilities to obtain it.

However, what Lu Yunmeng said next completely shocked her.

"You were a secret agent of the Soviet Red House organization. On that snowy training ground, you stood out from twenty other trainees and became the elite of the elite."

"You meticulously planned and executed numerous assassinations of state leaders and sabotage operations, each of which demonstrated your exceptional skill and decisiveness."

"After the Budapest incident, you were moved by Hawkeye Clint Barton and joined S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Later, you also successfully located the Red House leader, Drekoff, through the little girl Antonia, and orchestrated an explosion to assassinate him."

Natasha's face instantly turned deathly pale, devoid of any color. This information was practically S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most core and confidential files, sealed away in the deepest, most secure vault, known only to a very few.

She stared intently at Lu Yunmeng, her eyes filled with vigilance, and asked in a low, cold voice, "Who exactly are you?"

"Superwoman, Homelander, freelance writer, journalist. But I hope people will remember me and call me by my name—Lu Yunmeng."

Lu Yunmeng introduced herself with a half-smile, a slight upturn at the corners of her lips.

As the conversation deepened, more and more memories of Black Widow surfaced in Lu Yunmeng's mind.

Those secret agents known as "widows" were actually orphans that Drekoff had collected from all over the world, some of whom were even obtained through illegal human trafficking.

Drekoff used extremely cruel psychological manipulation to control these innocent girls, subjecting them to brutal training that is unimaginable to ordinary people, ultimately turning them into killing tools in his hands.

Later, he even went so far as to develop a chemical control agent.

This drug can penetrate directly into the neural circuits of girls' brains, rendering them unable to control their actions even when they are conscious, leaving them completely at his mercy.

Upon hearing this, Natasha's expression became extremely complicated.

She had thoroughly investigated Lu Yunmeng's past and obtained a file so clean that it was flawless, as if Lu Yunmeng were a person with no secrets.

However, at this moment, Supergirl knew everything about the Red Room, even the details of her graduation exam, which shocked and terrified her.

“Oh, by the way, you also have a stepsister, Yelena Belova. Aren’t you going to rescue her?” Lu Yunmeng looked at Natasha meaningfully, her eyes seemingly hiding something deeper.

Natasha remained silent.

How could she not want to save Yelena?

The little sister who formed a temporary family with her in Ohio, although their initial mission was only to steal secret information, had long regarded Yelena as her closest family member during their time together.

However, even with the resources and power of S.H.I.E.L.D., Yelena vanished without a trace, as if she had never existed.

"I don't intend to blame you for infiltrating my family. But as punishment, you need to complete a special mission with me, a mission that only you can accomplish." Lu Yunmeng stated her request directly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Natasha knew she had no right to refuse.

She knew in her heart that she was indeed in the wrong this time, and that Nick Fury would never refuse Supergirl's request for her sake.

“This mission must absolutely not be revealed to anyone, including everyone you know, especially Nick Fury.” Lu Yunmeng leaned back on the sofa, gently shaking her finger, a hint of warning in her eyes.

Natasha nodded, outwardly agreeing, but inwardly she was secretly plotting how to get the message out through some clandestine channels.

She has deep feelings for S.H.I.E.L.D. and a strong sense of belonging, and she will never be easily turned by Lu Yunmeng's words.

“Help me destroy the Red House and kill Drekoff.” Lu Yunmeng’s tone was calm and firm, her eyes revealing an undeniable determination.

Natasha couldn't help but frown, then her lips curled up slightly, and she said with a hint of sarcasm, "Miss Superman, you may not know this, but Drekoff disappeared from this world completely in January of this year—I personally sent him on his way."

Lu Yunmeng chuckled, crossed her legs, and said with a hint of mockery in her eyes, "Oh, that must be a disappointment for you. Drekoff is still alive and well. He's currently hiding in some dark corner, using new technology to continue recruiting, training, and controlling those poor widow agents."

"Impossible! I saw him perish in the fire with my own eyes, he can't possibly still be alive!" Natasha's voice trembled slightly, clearly she was unwilling to believe what Lu Yunmeng said.

"Have you found his body? You can't be sure he's really dead without seeing the body with your own eyes," Lu Yunmeng asked calmly, her eyes revealing an all-knowing confidence.

“It was burned to the ground long ago; there wasn’t a single body left.” Natasha frowned, her resolve wavering. The sinister face of Drekoff kept flashing through her mind.

“Drekov is not so easy to kill. And your nominal mother, Melina, has developed a nerve control drug.”

"This drug can penetrate the brain and directly control the female agents in the Red Room, making them appear conscious but their bodies completely out of their control."

Lu Yunmeng's tone remained calm, but her words sent a chill down Natasha's spine.

"This is impossible! Melina is long dead, and I killed Drekoff too! You're lying to me!" Natasha's emotions began to spiral out of control; she refused to believe that all her past efforts and victories had been in vain.

“Alexei the Red Guardian, he should know something. You can look him up.”

Lu Yunmeng shook her head, her tone tinged with pity, as if she were sympathizing with Natasha for being kept in the dark all along.

If I have a cheat code, would I lie to you?

Natasha was stunned.

Alexei was her "father" in her temporary family in Ohio, the one who had given her warmth and protection.

Supergirl knows so much information, so comprehensive, that it's chilling.

If Drekoff is really still alive, then what she once considered a victory is nothing but a ridiculous joke.

"You wouldn't want any more girls with tragic backgrounds like you to appear in this world, would you?"

Lu Yunmeng leaned closer to Natasha, her voice low and ambiguous, as if whispering a secret in her ear.

Natasha remained silent.

She knew she had no other choice but to follow Lu Yunmeng to uncover the hidden truth, destroy the Red House, and spare more girls from suffering.

Chapter 43 The Secret Intelligence Agency of the Former Soviet Union

Natasha ultimately agreed. The memories of the Red Room were an unforgettable pain for her, a nightmare she could never shake off.

Those cold walls, ruthless training, and cruel elimination mechanisms were like a sharp knife, repeatedly cutting open the deepest scars in her heart.

Every night, when all is quiet, she can still hear the girls' screams and see them lying in pools of blood.

Those innocent lives, like candle flames flickering in the wind, were easily extinguished and eventually turned to ashes, forgotten by all.

If the red houses still exist, they must be completely eradicated!

She could no longer bear to see those girls die tragically in training where they killed each other, nor could she bear to see them sacrifice themselves in missions, becoming cold corpses, ultimately unclaimed and ending in tragedy.

A resolute glint flashed in Natasha's eyes. She knew she had to do something, even if it meant facing that dark past again.

Lu Yunmeng's goal was simple—to take over the Red House faction.

Those Black Widows can continue working if they want to stay; otherwise, they can choose to leave.

She would even provide severance pay and make arrangements for their future lives.

Lu Yunmeng knew that she was alone and weak, and no matter how strong she was, she was still fighting alone.

She wants to build her own power base to deal with potential future dangers.

After all, the world is never short of enemies, and she needs more allies.

"Tony probably wouldn't refuse to let these beautiful and skilled female agents work for Stark Industries, would he?" Lu Yunmeng's lips curled up slightly, a sly glint in her eyes.

She knew that although Tony Stark appeared cynical on the surface, his deep-seated desire for talent had never diminished.

These Black Widows are undoubtedly the help he needs most.

"Lu, you're definitely not the dazzling superwoman people imagine." Natasha rolled her eyes, her tone slightly teasing.

After opening up to each other, she became much more relaxed and casual, even starting to make lighthearted jokes.

She didn't intend to report this to S.H.I.E.L.D., not only because she was worried about Lu Yunmeng's hard and powerful fists, but also because she felt deeply for her; no intelligence organization would easily give up such a force.

Rather than handing it over to the government, it's better to let these widows choose their own future paths.

“I never said I was a good person, did I?” Lu Yunmeng raised her eyebrows and replied with interest.

Her tone was relaxed, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

She is not a "great, glorious, and righteous" hero in the traditional sense, but she knows what she is doing and understands her goals.

"If your fans knew you were this kind of Superwoman, they'd probably cry themselves to sleep in the bathroom," Natasha said with a smile, playfully teasing.

In fact, she knew very well that Lu Yunmeng had saved the lives of tens of thousands of people during the Manhattan incident in New York.

She may not be the kind of lofty "perfect hero," but she is a qualified superhero.

After getting to know her, Natasha found Lu Yunmeng to be surprisingly easy to talk to, approachable and genuine. Although she had some ulterior motives and schemes, this only made her seem more relatable.

“They didn’t pay me to play the role of a great being,” Lu Yunmeng grinned mischievously, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

She never thought she needed to play any role; she just did what she thought was right.

"When do we make our next move?" Natasha seemed anxious; she wanted to ascertain the true situation of Drekoff, the Red House, and the widows immediately.

Her fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, as if suppressing her inner anxiety.

"Calm down, it's not time yet. We need more power." Lu Yunmeng waved her hand, her tone relaxed, but her eyes revealed a hint of seriousness.

She knew that the Red House's aerial base was suspended in the airspace somewhere in the United States, and with her flying speed, finding the base would not be difficult.

However, Drekoff is an extremely cunning man. Having just survived Natasha's assassination attempt, even the fact that his double was blown up is enough to make him extremely wary.

Lu Yunmeng couldn't confirm whether Drekoff was hiding in the air fortress of the Red House, or whether the person sitting in the office was a stand-in.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows; Drekoff is just such a cunning old fox.

Even a lion needs to use its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone Drekoff, who is not a rabbit but a cunning old fox!

If you miss your target, it may hide even deeper, making it harder to catch it again.

Therefore, she would not act rashly without complete certainty and sufficient preparation.

Moreover, Lu Yun dreamed of the scene in the Black Widow movie where Yelena, during her training in the Red Room, would expect Captain America to rush in with his shield to save them every day.

She decided to grant the little girl's wish.

First, she needs to find Captain America—Steve Rogers—who was flash-frozen somewhere in the Arctic Ocean.

This is not difficult. Although S.H.I.E.L.D., led by Peggy Carter and Howard Stark, had conducted numerous searches, all of them ultimately failed due to technological limitations and the harsh and unpredictable Arctic environment.

The 21st century is an era of booming development in electronic information, with various high-precision and groundbreaking devices constantly emerging.

With Jarvis's intelligent system's search and detection capabilities, combined with Stark Industries' technology, finding Captain America will only take a little time at most.
