Natalia Romanova confronts former allies and lovers to prevent her past as Black Widow from destroying her future.
On board of a stolen military plane, a brown haired guy reveals to pilot that he has replaced his partner five minutes ago, who is in custody of CIA. Unfazed by this, the pilot activates a device on his hand claiming it detonated a bomb inside his partner's head, which has likely to have killed a few CIA officers trying to strip down his cerebral cortex.
Despite this, the mole decides to bring back the pilot alive to interrogate and refused to get caught and the latter rips of ground control panels so that he can take "him" to his employers. Upon removing holographic disguise, it is turn out to be Natasha Romanoff, original
Black Widow in disguise and a brief fight ensues between them.
Though she manages to subdue him and take out of plane before it crashed, her captive swiftly chokes on a poison capsule to commit suicide. That night, she gets a call from Volgograd, Russia, by a man named Ivan after many years who then warns her about "Icepick Protocol" being initiated lately before he is gunned down by unknown party.
Nats gets a flashback to 1928, when she was rescued by Ivan as Natalia Romanoff and was raised by him. Stalin suggested that they change her name to Romanova before she was taken by Taras Romanoff to train in hand-to-hand combat. Taras was later killed by her
"Little Uncle" Logan and she were eventually discovered by Ivan afterwards.

Many years later in 1956, Natasha took a serum from
Winter Soldier to save a gravely injured Ivan in exchange for their loyalty. In present, she heads over to Russia to examine Ivan's corpse to confirm it was really him. She then reaches out to Bucky Barnes for moral support before declaring to find out what Icepick is and kill everyone related to it.
In Kaliningrad, Natasha breaks into Russian Army Support Services Command only to come across Federal Dynamo, whom she manages to take down using semi-lethal methods. She then breaks into their control room to learn more details about Icepick Protocol and convinced operators in charge there to cooperate in her current mission.
Before leaving, she discovers that she was tagged with nanites years ago in Red Room and she passed them along to whoever she was close to. In his apartment, Clint Barton AKA
Ronin were having breakfast with his lover Bobbi Morse AKA
Mockingbird and she goes into frenzy all of a sudden upon seeing a hologram that said, "Icepick Activated".
Black Widow arrives just in time before she could stab Clint and took her down with counter- nanites. She then heads over to meet
Daredevil, Tony Stark, an old friend and a newspaper delivery boy she knew but not all of them were too lucky and many have succumbed to a homicidal rage once these microscopic bio-machines are activated.
In one instance, she had to bail out and rescue her
Champions teammate and former lover
Hercules from Golden Fleece Night Club. Though she didn't entertain his idea of a celebration at all, he did help her with a bit of guidance. Before setting off to find the true culprit behind these conspiracies, she pays
Nick Fury a visit and warned about her nanites.
She recalls many of her life events from past that involves her marriage to Russian super-hero Red Guardian, going away from
Winter Soldier, getting back into super-heroics when she is widowed and too many times when she refused Ivan. Finally, she took a trip to space looking for her enemy and is horrified to find a Russian Dreadnought.
