**Chapter 2: The Mind of a Master**

The room remained silent, the only sound the soft hum of the screen as Nick Fury continued to present his briefing on Yelena. The footage showed her taking down a group of men with ease, her swordwork a blur of steel and precision. Fury's voice cut through the silence, "As you can see, Yelena's skills with a sword are unmatched. But what's even more impressive is her ability to adapt and think on her feet." The footage shifted to show Yelena fighting 150 men, her movements fluid and calculated. She appeared behind them, and the men froze. Yelena slowly sheathed her blade, and when it clicked into place, their bodies bisected neatly. The Avengers watched in awe, their eyes glued to the screen as more footage was shown. Yelena took down a shield strike team without using her katana, her hands and feet moving in a blur of motion. The scene was intense, the sound of clashing steel and grunting men filling the room. Fury continued, "We've also seen her take down opponents with nothing but her martial arts skills. She's a master of hand-to-hand combat, and her precision is unmatched." The footage showed Yelena's elegant, fast sword strikes, each one aimed at a precise location. The room was quiet, the only sound the soft hum of the screen. Fury brought up footage of Mockingbird's mission to catch Yelena. The scene showed Yelena lazily blocking and dodging Mockingbird's attacks. The scary thing was that Yelena hadn't moved from her spot, and she only used one hand. Yelena smiled at Mockingbird, "Not bad, Morse." The Avengers were impressed, but Fury wasn't finished. He showed footage of Yelena's genius-level intellect, surpassing Tony Stark's. Her tactical genius had no equal, and the scary thing was that she was only human, with no powers or enhancements. Evidence was shown of Yelena's intelligence, how she built tech and weapons that vastly surpassed Tony's. The footage of her elegant, flawless planning was awe-inspiring. Yelena's ability to think several steps ahead of her opponents was unmatched. Fury made it clear, "Yelena doesn't need powers at all. Given enough time, she could conquer the world without needing to use force or violence." Natasha sighed, knowing the truth. She remembered how Yelena dismantled an elite team without using force, only her mind. The most dangerous thing about Yelena wasn't her skills; it was her mind. Natasha pointed out, "Knowing Yelena, she has built countermeasures to us." Natasha knew she was right, as she pointed out she had seen Yelena easily manipulate the law and people with just what she could find in their homes. She knew this because Yelena was a master of the mind and what made people tick. Natasha turned to Fury, "The only reason you have this is because Yelena wanted you to have it. Knowing her, she has back walls in our servers." The screen flickered, and words were hacked onto the screen, "I want Natasha. That's all." The words changed, "Remember Natasha, you are mine. And it's time you are where you belong, and that's with me, moy lyubimyy." The screen changed to Yelena's beautiful face. She smiled, "Hello, Avengers." Yelena said calmly and politely, "Natasha comes with me. She can still help you and everything. But she lives with me now. I'll even throw you a bone. I'll give you equipment created by yours truly." The Avengers were caught off guard, and Tony arrogantly tried to use his weapons to kill Yelena, but she smiled, "Protocol nine, deactivate sequence 1-4-6." Yelena smiled again, "Power negation and suppression activate sequence 2-7-1-0." Without another word, Natasha decided to go. A portal opened up to Yelena, and she was waiting. Yelena assured Natasha, "As long as I have you, I will not be a threat." The scene faded to black, leaving the Avengers stunned and Natasha walking through the portal, towards a new life with Yelena. As the days passed, the Avengers received equipment created by Yelena, and it was clear that she had given them a gift. But Natasha was now gone, taken by Yelena to a new life. Two years had passed, and Natasha was still with the Avengers, but she was also with Yelena. Yelena treated Natasha like a queen, trying to win her heart, and Yelena was succeeding. The Avengers were aware of Yelena's presence, but they didn't know much about her. She was a mystery, a woman with unparalleled skills and intelligence. But one thing was clear, she had won Natasha's heart. One year later, Natasha was now madly in love with Yelena. The two of them were inseparable, and the Avengers had grown accustomed to Yelena's presence. But Tony still had a problem with her, and one day, he insulted her. Yelena stayed her hand, calm and collected. Yelena asked politely, "Tony, please settle down and behave like the adult you say you are." Yelena calmly pointed out, "It's only because you're Natasha's friend that I don't ruin you, Stark. We both know I can." Tony activated his Iron Legion to attack Yelena, but she smiled, "Iron superior protocol, 1-6-8-3." The Iron Legion drones turned against Tony, but they didn't attack. Yelena said calmly, "You done pouting, Stark?" Yelena smiled at Natasha, "Are you done for today, little red?" Natasha was surprised by how loving and caring Yelena was to her. The two of them shared a moment, and it was clear that their love had grown stronger with time.
