The movie opens with Natasha Romanoff and Taskmaster arriving at the Hydra base and speaking with Baron Strucker's great grandson Wolfgang von Strucker the fourth about tricking S.H.I.E.L.D into imprisoning one of their own agents Clint Barton. We see Natasha walk off into the background and contact Nick Fury. It turns out Natasha has been deep undercover and Nick Fury knew. It also turns out that getting agent Barton out of the way was an assignment for Natasha and since she is so undercover she couldn't tell Barton. Later on Natasha and Taskmaster are sent out to meet with some people that work for A.I.M about one of their new test subjects Simon Williams. Once they get there they meet Simon and the head of the experiment George Tarleton. During the experiment Natasha asks what they are doing to him and George tells her they are trying to recreate the super soldier experiment. After hours of nothing happening they decide to pack up and go home but just then an arrow hits Simon in the head. Natasha sees that Clint Barton must have escaped the Cube and goes to fight him. Taskmaster goes to check on Simon but it turns out the super soldier serum worked on Simon. They get Simon out of there and Taskmaster goes to help Natasha. The movie climaxes as Natasha and Taskmaster get the upper hand on Barton. Barton realizes he wont be able to beat them there so he leaves while Natasha and Taskmaster go to George and Simon.
