Deadly Origin (Part 1)
Two men, one blond and the other brown, have stolen a military plane. The latter reveals to his partner that he's *not* his partner. He replaced him five minutes before they stole the plane. The blond man simply uses a device on his palm to remotely detonate the bomb in his partner's head, killing several CIA officers, before ripping out the controls, to prevent the plane from stopping so he'd get back to his employers to interrogate "him". However, "he" is in fact the Black Widow in holographic disguise. After a small tussle, she manages to disable him, before taking him out of the falling plane. Unfortunately, her captive uses a poison capsule to commit suicide.
Meanwhile, at a base in Russia, two men are staring at screen. However, they don't notice one reading Widow's file, before the words "Icepick protocol initiated." turn up.
In Volgograd, Russia, a man named Ivan calls Widow in New York, to inform her about Icepick, something she does not know about, before he is killed.
Flashing back to 1928, a younger Ivan rescues a baby Natalia Romanoff from the rubble. For ten years, he raises her. As he was having a talk with a man named Taras Romanoff, when they are approached by Stalin, suggesting that her name be changed to Romanova.
For two years, young Natalia has trained in hand-to-hand combat. She is then interrupted by her adoptive father Taras, who wants her to have tea with "Little Uncle" Logan, the future Wolverine. They spar afterwards. Later, Logan kills Taras, having been on a secret assignment. A concerned Ivan goes looking for her and offers to be by her side.
By 1956, Ivan is wounded and there are no medics around to help him. They are both approached by the Winter Soldier, who offers a serum that can heal him and extend their lifespans, if Natalia promises her renewed loyalty, to which she accepts.
In the present, Widow rushes to Russia to find Ivan's mutilated body in a morgue, with Russian words stating that everyone that she ever loved will die. She checks an X-shaped scar corpse's right hand, confirming that it is Ivan. As she walks out off the morgue, she runs into Bucky, who asks what's wrong. As they walk along the streets of the city, Widow declares that she shall find out what Icepick is, who's using it, which she'll find out alone.
