In the living room, Samuel took the Water handed to him by Natasha and smiled as he watched her obediently leave.
Turning his head, he said to Melina beside him, "These two daughters of Yours are both very good."
Melina shook her head, "They are not my daughters."
"They see You as their mother, and I hope You are their mother!"
Natasha's tragic childhood had a significant impact on her life. Why did she change from a spy to a field Agent, becoming a hero?
Because of a sense of belonging!
She had no home, no family, no one needed her, she was like a rootless dandelion, drifting with the wind.
It wasn't until she joined the Avengers and met a group of companions who relied on each other that she found belonging.
She regarded the Avengers as her home and the Avengers as her family, which is why she sacrificed herself when searching for the Soul Stone with Hawkeye.
Did she sacrifice herself to save the World?
Yes!
But Samuel felt that the real reason she could be so calm, so resolute, was for her family!
Don't forget, she was trained as a spy and Agent by the Red Room from a young age. Even if she had her own conscience and justice, it would be impossible for her to sacrifice herself to save the World for no reason.
She simply chose to sacrifice herself over sacrificing her family!
Such a Natasha might lack the great love and greatness of saving the World, but she is more lovable.
"You didn't come to say these things, did You?" Melina didn't take the bait, just asked calmly, "Speak, what is Your purpose after all."
"My purpose is very simple." Samuel took a sip of Water and said indifferently, "I want You! I want Natasha and Yelena! I want -- Red Room!"
Three 'I want', resounding!
Melina snorted, "The first two are easy for You, but the last one, You want Red Room, that's impossible!"
"With the Chemical Conquest chip, it becomes possible."
Samuel said with a light chuckle, "Dreykov will use it to control everyone in Red Room, and I will control him!"
Melina frowned, "What do You want me to do?"
"My request to You is simple: continue to play the role of a mother and give the two of them a complete family childhood."
"They can receive normal Black Widow training, but certain special programs are not necessary. You know what I'm talking about."
Melina asked in confusion, "They are still just children. Even if You need Black Widows, You need tools, if You control Dreykov, all Black Widows will be Yours!"
"What is it about them that is worth Your attention?"
"They are very beautiful! Of course, they are also very special." Samuel smiled.
Melina pressed on, "You can't tell how beautiful and special they are right now. How can You be so sure?"
"Because, I've seen it!"
Mind Manipulation Ability was activated, and in an instant, a series of images appeared in Melina's mind.
"This is -- Natasha and Yelena?"
"This is me?"
"This is Alexei? Why is he as fat as a pig?"
"These are the Black Widows, this is Red Room, this is Dreykov? We destroyed Red Room?"
"Huh? Who is this person wearing a helmet?!"
Samuel intercepted a part of the Black Widow plot from his memory and projected it into Melina's mind.
For a long, long time, Melina looked at Samuel with a complex expression, "What is this?"
"The future!"
"Your original future!"
Samuel gently stroked Melina's slightly panicked face with the back of his hand, "My name is Samuel, the omniscient and omnipotent Void Lord. I have come to change Your destiny!"
"How, how to change it?" Melina asked.
Samuel said with a smile, "I won't stay in this era for long. After I control Dreykov, I will make You his deputy."
"What You need to do is to normally follow his orders, take good care of Natasha and Yelena, and -- secretly control Red Room."
"When I return to my original era, I will deal with Dreykov, and You will manage Red Room for me."
Samuel waved his hand, and a dose of Super Soldier Serum instantly appeared out of thin air.
"What is this?" Melina asked in surprise.
"A 100% successful Super Soldier Serum. This is my Meeting Gift (meeting gift) to You. As long as You do what I've instructed, I will grant You eternal life!"
"Eternal life? How is that possible!" Melina couldn't help but exclaim.
Samuel shrugged noncommittally, "To deceive You, I only need to move my thoughts!"
That's right, he has abilities similar to Mind Control. If he wanted to deceive or use me, he wouldn't need lies at all!
That is to say, eternal life is real, he really can grant eternal life!
Melina felt her heart rate begin to accelerate, her breathing uncontrollably becoming rapid.
Eternal life, ah, this attraction is truly immense, immense, immense, immense!
No one doesn't yearn for eternal life!
As long as they can have eternal life, countless people are willing to give up everything.
What wealth and status, what personality and dignity, what moral concepts, everything can be cast aside!
As long as I change allegiance, betray Dreykov, and betray the Red Room, I can gain eternal life!
For Melina, this was not a difficult decision at all.
Because for those who came out of the Red Room, the Red Room was not a home, not a belonging, but a nightmare and a den of demons!
Not betraying was only because they didn't dare, or they were completely brainwashed.
This isn't loyalty, it's just obedience!
Melina took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. "If, if I fail, what kind of punishment will there be?"
"Punishment?"
"As long as you haven't betrayed me, even if you fail, I won't punish you."
"I will just treat you like air, ignore you! Because you are not wrong, you are just mediocre!"
"And mediocre people don't have the chance to get more, do they?"
For people like Melina, mediocrity is the original sin!
Just like the future she just saw, Natasha and Yelena, like other Black Widows, were all trained by the Red Room.
Why were only the two of them brave enough to resist the Red Room and successfully destroy it?
Why couldn't so many Black Widows stop the two of them, defeat the two of them?
Because compared to them, these Black Widows were too mediocre!
Mediocre people naturally won't be looked at differently, and naturally won't be able to get more. Otherwise, why would Samuel only give special attention to Natasha and Yelena?
Melina actually had a deep understanding of what mediocrity meant.
She also came out of the Red Room, so why wasn't Melina a Black Widow? Instead, she got a separate title like Iron Maiden?
For this mission, why was she chosen for the role of mother, and not someone else?
Even some projects that Samuel just specifically instructed Natasha and Yelena not to accept, she actually hadn't experienced either.
Why?
Because she was more outstanding than those in her cohort. She was not only proficient in everything a Black Widow should be good at, but also had extremely high talent and ability in biology and other fields.
To put it bluntly, a mediocre Black Widow is just a Black Widow who can be abandoned at any time, while outstanding talents can get more privileges and benefits!
