Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson)’s Timeline and Summary

•  Back
• More 

• Black Widow's at the wheel of a super-Jeep, zipping around trees and fending off Hydra soldiers in the attack on Baron von Strucker's Sokovian HQ.
• She goes to the aid of Hawkeye after dude catches a Hydra laser to the side.
• Once the Avengers secure the perimeter of Strucker's research lab, Black Widow goes to "turn off" the Hulk by giving him five—in a slow, sensual way.
• Back on the Avengers' Quinjet, Black Widow checks in with Dr. Bruce Banner, who is bumming about the damage he caused when he was in Hulk mode. Her attempts to cheer him up aren't very successful.
• She tries again at the Avengers' victory party, flirting with the good doctor over a cocktail. She's asks him whether she should fight her attraction or go with it. He says go with it (of course he does), but she's still unsure.
• After Ultron crashes the party, Black Widow, with some well-placed gunfire, helps to fight off the Iron Legion droids that he commands.
• She accompanies the Avengers to Africa, where they crash Ultron's attempt to purchase some rare and powerful vibranium from a shady arms dealer.
• Wanda Maximoff sneaks up on Black Widow and puts a hex on her.
• In the ensuing hallucination, Black Widow is transported back to her own childhood. Spoiler alert: it's grim.
• She sees herself as a young girl, being trained to become a cold-blooded assassin. This involves some strict ballet lessons and shooting a stranger, who is tied to a chair with a sack over his head.
• More disturbing, it involves some kind of medical procedure that the young Natasha (Black Widow) is forced to endure—yikes.
• Hawkeye helps get Black Widow and the rest of the team back on the Avengers' Quinjet.
• Back at Hawkeye's family safehome in the country, Black Widow runs into Bruce Banner, who is bummed out about his latest destructive rampage as the Hulk.
• She offers to run away with him.
• When Bruce tries to blow her off, reminding her that he can never have a peaceful life, or even kids for that matter, Black Widow confesses that she can't have kids either.
• It turns out that she was surgically sterilized as part of her graduation ceremony from the "Red Room," where she was trained to be an assassin. Seems the group that trained her didn't want any of their assassins to be distracted by the emotional ties of parenthood. Nice folks.
• Once the Avengers plan a new attack on Ultron, Black Widow winds up in Seoul, South Korea, weaving in and out of traffic as she chases Ultron through the city's streets in a souped-up Avenger-cycle. Yeah, she's pretty cool.
• She winds up inside the truck trailer containing the cradle. Yay. Only, two of Ultron's cronies have blasted the trailer into the air, so now she's trapped in a flying metal box of doom. Boo.
• That's not going to stop Black Widow. She cuts the cradle loose and rides it through the air to the waiting cargo bay of the Avengers' Quinjet—only to have Ultron snag her by the ankle as the very last second.
• Black Widow finds herself in Ultron's crude prison, but still she manages go all Radio Shack on it and rig up a crude morse code to signal her whereabouts to the Avengers.
• Her plan works. Hawkeye picks up her signal and, the next thing Black Widow knows, Bruce Banner is on the scene, armed with a giant laser rifle to bust her out of prison.
• When it becomes clear that Ultron is raising Sokovia from the ground and sending it into the sky, Black Widow asks Bruce Banner to Hulk out and help out.
• He's not feeling it, though, so she gives him a romantic smooch to distract him just long enough to kick him off a ledge. He leaves her as Bruce Banner, but jumps right back up as the Hulk—nifty trick, BW.
• She jumps onto the Hulk's back and the pair launches into the air to land on the floating island that used to be the city.
• After mixing it up with some of Ultron's Iron Legion bots, Black Widow learns that there's no good way to stop Ultron's plan. She's willing to stay on the floating island, though, even if it means her death. That's some dedication, folks.
• Luckily, Nick Fury shows up with a Helicarrier to evacuate the Sokovians, so we don't get to find out how far Black Widow was willing to go to win Avenger of the month.
• Instead, Black Widow joins her Avenger pals in central Sokovia and helps them stop Ultron's bots in their attempt to activate the trigger that will send the floating island crashing back to Earth.
• Once that job's taken care of, Black Widow finds the Hulk and tries to use her calming hand hold to turn him back to Bruce Banner.
• Ultron shows up in a fighter jet, though (does this guy ever stop?), and rains down bullets from above. Hulk shields Black Widow from harm, then deposits her gently onto the Helicarrier.
• After all the Sokovians are safe, and the threat of their falling city is diverted, Black Widow radios (more like FaceTimes) the Hulk, who is just chilling out in Ultron's plane after tossing the bad bot out of it.
• She asks Hulk to turn off his plane's cloaking device so that they can track him and bring him home. Click—Hulk shuts off Black Widow's transmission.
• Oh no he didn't!
• Yes, yes he did. Black Widow is left looking super-distressed at this rejection. Sniff.
• We next see her back at the new Avengers headquarters in upstate New York. Nick Fury tells Black Widow that his sensors have picked up what could be Hulk's plane, landing in the waters near Fiji.
• Rather than go after her big green love, though, Black Widow teams up with Captain America. She's going to help him whip up the next team of Avengers into shape.
