Cutting some detail from the ending of the first arc - we don't need spoilers above the line
Changed line(s) 5,6 (click to see context) from:
The first arc is "The ties that bind". Several enemies of Black Widow abducted her and James Grey, a random man, and gave them false memories of being in love and living together in a nice house. They even had a son, Stevie, who was actually the result of an artificial breeding and accelerated aging. But, as he was made with the DNA of Natalia and James, he ''is'' their son. Bucky, Hawkeye and Yelena are not sure what to make of this. Eventually the villains attack and Black Widow remembers her identity, defeating them. As for James and Stevie, they are caught by an explosion and Natasha goes into full revenge mode; a ruse to fool the villains and allow Bucky to fake their deaths and hide them at some unknown location that not even Natasha herself would know.

In the next arc she resumes her work as a spy, and recruits Spider-Girl for help.
!Tropes
* ActionDressRip: Natasha does this in Issue #2 before engaging some crooks that have accosted a woman in an alley.
* AscendedFangirl: Natasha asked Spider-Girl to help her with a case. Her reaction was a {{Squee}}
* {{Brainwashed}}: Natasha and James were both brainwashed into thinking they loved each other and had a typical life as a NuclearFamily.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Had to send her husband and child away with Bucky to protect them.
* DeathFakedForYou: Knowing that the villains would try to kill James and Stevie, the Black Widow made it seem they were caught in an explosion and reacted with a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. But they are fine: this was just a cover for the Winter Soldier to hide them, fake their deaths and give them new identities elsewhere.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Not the usual way, Natasha had no problems with having suitors in the past. She completely shut the door to another class of love, that of mother and son, as her Red Room training would force her into a miscarriage if she ever managed to get pregnant. She never allowed herself to entertain the idea of having a son, that would never happen. But now, she did: it ''is'' her son (there was no pregnancy but he's made from her DNA), she remembers their life together (even if knowing that most of it except the last two months was fake memories), and still feels motherly love towards him. And she simply had to keep him hidden and away from her, for his own safety.
* LovelyAngels: Natasha (or "Natalia") and Yelena. In the first arc Yelena infiltrates her home life as a babysitter, later on they are their regular selves.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Natasha has been missing for three months. Not really strange, it wouldn't be the first time she goes undercover. But, if she's undercover... why would she casually walk in front of a TV camera and allow herself to be seen on TV?
