Mockingbird

Anastasiya Dmitrievna Kameneva-Barton (Russian: Анастасия Дмитриевна Ка́менева-Бартон) (Original Names: Faith Henrik Mikaelson) is the youngest daughter of Niklaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall-Kenner and the younger twin sister of Hope Mikaelson. She has trained to be one of the most talented spies and assassins in the entire world and a founding member of the Avengers. As a child, she was indoctrinated into the Red Room by General Dreykov, and briefly lived as the surrogate daughter of Alexei Shostakov and Melina Vostokoff while they were undercover in the United States of America. After the Destruction of the North Institute, she underwent extensive psychological conditioning, before graduating from the Red Room as a Widow. Working as an operative for the KGB, she was targeted by S.H.I.E.L.D., before given the chance to ultimately defect to the organization by Clint Barton by assassinating Dreykov with the help of her former surrogate sister, Natasha Romanoff. Kameneva succeeded, although having to use his daughter Antonia Dreykov's life as collateral damage would haunt her for the rest of her life.
Having extensive mastery in martial arts and armed with her Widow's Bite, Kameneva became one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most efficient agents, using the title given by her former organization as her codename, Mockingbird. During her time at S.H.I.E.L.D., Kameneva became close with Clint Barton and the two were eventually married.
When Loki declared war on the Earth, Kameneva was recruited into the Avengers after Hawkeye had just been enthralled by Loki. Kameneva assisted in recruiting Steve Rogers into the team while they tracked down and attempted to capture Loki, eventually saving Barton from his grasp. Once Loki's entire plan had been uncovered, Kameneva joined the team during the Battle of New York and was instrumental in destroying the portal over the city which had been created by the Tesseract, effectively ending the entire invasion while Loki was defeated and deported back to his homeworld by his brother Thor.
In the wake of the Avengers successfully defeating Loki, Kameneva continued her work with S.H.I.E.L.D., while she also began the search for her birth family. She learned who her parents were and spent a week down in New Orleans, spying on their life when she learned that she had a twin sister that they kept. Kameneva returned to Washington D.C. when Romanoff and Rogers uncovered a conspiracy following an assassination attempt on Nick Fury. Together the three of them eventually discovered that HYDRA had been infiltrating their entire organization since its foundation. Despite the efforts of the Winter Soldier to stop them, Kameneva helped expose Alexander Pierce's evil schemes to the world, which also resulted in all of her own morally dubious history being revealed. As a result, Kameneva was forced into dropping off the grid again and began rebuilding her cover.
Kameneva eventually rejoined the Avengers, working to bring down various HYDRA cells across the world and assisting in the capture of Baron Strucker. However, the rogue artificial intelligence Ultron was created by Banner and Stark, forcing Kameneva and the rest of their team to join together and defeat him. Kameneva was able to inform the team of Ultron's location on Sokovia, resulting in a final battle in which the Avengers had defeated Ultron once and for all, though Banner fled into self-exile. Kameneva and Barton decided to retire from Agent work together, though Kameneva worked as a Private Contractor.
Despite living happily within retirement for a brief time, Kameneva was recruited by Romanoff to join Iron Man in a fight against Captain America due to his disagreements with the Accords and his criminal activities with the Winter Soldier who Rogers was attempting to protect. As the two Avengers' factions fought against each other, Kameneva and Romanoff betrayed Iron Man's team to assist Captain America in finding the one incriminating the Winter Soldier, inherently violating the Sokovia Accords.
As a result, the fugitive Kameneva worked with Rick Mason to escape the government for aiding Rogers. In the process, Kameneva intercepted messages from her former surrogate sister Yelena Belova about the Red Room's resurgence. In possession of the Red Dust, Kameneva, Romanoff, and Belova were relentlessly pursued by Taskmaster, who worked for Dreykov, who was believed to have been killed. Reuniting with her surrogate parents, they worked together to bring down the Red Room once and for all. Upon learning Taskmaster was actually Antonia, who had survived all these years but was mind-controlled by Dreykov, Kameneva freed her from Dreykov's enthrallment, and put an end to Dreykov's plans for world domination. Romanoff soon joined Rogers in freeing the incarcerated Avengers.
With the Avengers broken up, Kameneva separated from Romanoff, Rogers and Wilson though she went on the run for two years as an international fugitive. When the threat of Thanos approached Earth, Kameneva, Romanoff, Rogers, and Wilson protected Vision, who had the Mind Stone, which Thanos was after. They later defended Wakanda from the attack, but were ultimately defeated when Thanos destroyed half of all life with the Infinity Gauntlet, where Kameneva emerged as one of the survivors, though she soon learned that all of her children had been dusted and her husband dropped off the grid. Kameneva was part of the Ambush on Thanos in an effort to retrieve the Infinity Stones and undo the Titan's snap, with no success.
Five years later, Kameneva led the Avengers alongside Captain America, now formed by Okoye, Rocket Raccoon, Nebula, War Machine, and Captain Marvel. With an opportunity to undo the Snap presented by Ant-Man, the remaining Avengers split up into teams to retrieve all Infinity Stones from several alternate timelines in the Time Heist. Sent to retrieve the Soul Stone on Vormir with Barton, Kameneva, against Barton's insistence, willingly jumped off the Vormir mountains into the abyss below, sacrificing herself in the process in order to obtain the Soul Stone for the Avengers.

=== Before Birth ===
In late 1983, Niklaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall slept together and conceived two children or fraternal twins. When the witch Sophie Deveraux revealed that Hayley was, in fact, pregnant with Klaus' child, Klaus refused to believe it until he used his enhanced hearing to hear their heartbeats. Sophie revealed that the baby’s are one of Nature's "loopholes". She later revealed that it was because of Klaus' werewolf side that Hope and Kameneva were conceived. Sophie then demanded that Klaus help her or she would kill the babies and their mother.
Klaus initially had no interest in having anything to do with the children, even telling the witches they made a mistake if they thought they could use Hayley and their children as leverage to manipulate him. He dismissed the children’s existence and acted as though he didn't care if they lived or died. After some words of consideration from Elijah Mikaelson, and an-exchange from Camille O'Connell, he later changed his mind about the children. When Elijah asked him about Hayley and their unborn children, Klaus replied to him that "every king needs an heir."
Later, Elijah told Sophie that he believes these children will be a way for Klaus to finally be happy. Sophie is glad he feels that way, as she blackmails him. If he gets Klaus to co-operate with their demands, since Marcel Gerard already drove the werewolves from the French Quarter, nobody will have to know of the existence of a hybrid baby. In a later phone conversation with Rebekah Mikaelson, Elijah swears he will not let anything happen to the babies.
When Rebekah arrives in New Orleans looking for Elijah, she meets Hayley, commenting her "supernatural, miracle baby bump" isn't showing. After a short conversation with Niklaus about the whereabouts of their elder brother, Rebekah takes Hayley to the basement of their house, showing her the coffins, before warning her to get out of New Orleans while she can, because once the babies are born, Niklaus will be "planning a coffin for her." Hayley comments that the witches cast a spell; if she leaves New Orleans, she and the babies will die. Rebekah's words clearly affecting her, Hayley heads to Jardin Gris, inquiring wolfsbane in an attempt to abort the babies. She sits on a bench at night, pouring the poison into a cup of tea, urging herself to drink it. She is about to drink when she hears rustling behind her. Vampires appear in front of her, saying wolves aren't welcome. Hayley, fed up of being told what to do by vampires, tosses the cup at him and attempts to flee. Rebekah suddenly shows up, ripping the heart out of one of the vampire's, and snapping the neck of the other, saving Hayley's life. After Klaus hears of Hayley leaving the house, he berates her and demands to know what she was doing. In a rage, Hayley growls that she wanted to put the babies out of their misery, a comment which Klaus begins to choke her over, showing he clearly cares for the babies. The day after, Klaus slowly walks into Hayley's room whilst she is supposedly sleeping. He notices the bottle of wolfsbane and sniffs the top. Hayley then tells him that she didn't use it, Klaus asks her why, as she could have been free from "all of this." Hayley says that when she was being attacked, she wasn't just protecting herself, she was protecting her children and she didn't want to let anyone hurt it.
Hayley walks by the pool at night, and she suddenly looks up to see herself face to face with a wolf. Sabine Laurent suddenly appears and tells her that the wolf is drawn to her because of the babies, before telling her that she knows some charms that can reveal the babies's genders, admitting that it is not magic that she will be using. Later on, Hayley is lying on a kitchen table with Sabine dangling a pendant over her stomach. She tells her that she thinks they are both girls, this excites Hayley. Hayley suddenly becomes serious and says "don't tell me I'm having mini-Klaus’s" before Sabine drops the pendant and gasps, repeating the same sentence leaving Hayley confused at her words. Sometime later, Klaus walks into the room whilst Hayley is seated on her laptop, and she reveals that she thinks their children are girls; unseen to her, Klaus smiles at the news. As he leaves, Hayley is seen typing the sentence Sabine repeated onto her laptop.
Agnes persuades Hayley to go to a doctor out in The Bayou who agrees after a notice of Rebekah who told her that she must care most about her children. The doctor tells Hayley that her children are healthy and Hayley reports that she knew it and that her daughters are tough ones, just like her. Then a wolf howls and Hayley understands that she falls into an ambush led by Agnes. However, she kills her doctor and manages to escape to the warlocks and fight them off until Rebekah eventually comes to save her. However, they are both then shot, and Hayley goes missing. When Hayley shows up later, she has forgotten what has happened but believes that a wolf is looking after her, and has killed the witches after her to protect her. Her wounds have also all healed and is revealed that her babies have healed her due to their vampire healing blood, inherited from their father, Klaus.
While Hayley speaks to Elijah after what happened to her and the babies during his absence and that they decide to find a way to unlike her to Sophie, Agnes enacts a plan to kill the children, by using the link between Sophie and Hayley. She uses a cursed object, The Needle of Sorrows, to cause Hayley's temperature to spike rapidly to cause a miscarriage. While Klaus goes to find Agnes, Sophie works with Elijah and Rebekah to lower Hayley's temperature and heart rate, until Davina, through Elijah's machinations, could unwittingly severe the link between Sophie and Hayley, saving the babies's life. Later Elijah kills Agnes for trying to kill his nieces. 
At one point it is revealed that Hope’s blood is capable of turning werewolves into hybrids. However, the hybrids created are sired to its mother - likely due to it and her being the same for the time being. Tyler Lockwood kidnaps Hayley and tries to kill both babies, as he believes that Klaus desires to use Hope to sire a second army of hybrids. Klaus scares him off, however, Tyler then goes to Marcel, and informs him of the babies's existence, and that one of their abilities will prove a threat to the vampire kingdom.
Klaus believes that his children will grow up calling Elijah father because of the way Hayley adores him and how his siblings don't believe that his intentions toward his children are pure. He later states that his children are all that matters to him now. Klaus tells Marcel how the witches forced him to help them take down Marcel by threatening to kill his unborn children. He goes on to mention how at the beginning he didn't care for his children, but after remembering how Mikael despised him since birth he had a change of heart because he doesn't want to end up being exactly like his father was to him. Elijah also reveals that descendants of Klaus' father are still alive (Cary is a descendant), therefore meaning relatives of the children are as well.
The babies become part of the plan to complete the Harvest, and also to prevent Davina Claire's power from destroying all of New Orleans. Using the fact that the babies are alive, and therefore able to own property, the Original vampires bury and consecrate their mother's remains with Kieran's help and Esther becomes a New Orleans witch. As her children, The Originals act as a conduit of her magic, so then Sophie can channel the power.
While Rebekah is prisoner forms a spell cast by Papa Tunde, Elijah bites Hayley so he can use the power of the babies's blood to unbalance the spell as the babies are revealed to be a Quarter Witch’s as well. Rebekah says to Hayley that the Mikaelson Family has many enemies, and that when the babies are born they will inherit all of them. She also says that, though Niklaus is a dangerous person, there is hope for him, and the babies are a focal point of that. Finally, she asks that Hayley tells the babies stories of ‘their crazy aunt Bex' and, despite her absence, she really does love her nieces. 
Klaus tells Jackson he counts on the werewolves sense of unity to protect his unborn daughters. Elijah and Hayley also express their concern for the safety of the babies. Elijah suggests to Hayley to come back and live with him and Klaus. Hayley, however, declines his offer. Klaus tells Elijah that, while he feels Hayley and the baby will be better protected in The Bayou with the Crescent wolves, he will bring Hayley back before she goes into labor. Klaus wishes the baby to born in the compound. The child later kicks for the first time onscreen when the wolves are telling campfire stories, and Hayley happily puts Jackson's hand on her belly so he can feel. Monique Deveraux later tells Genevieve that the baby must die in exchange for Genevieve's life.
There is an explosion in the Bayou. Hayley nor the babies get hurt. However, Klaus is upset by the attack on his children and suspects that Genevieve is behind this. Genevieve says she has nothing to do with it, she's not a monster.
Klaus goes to Father Kieran O'Connell's funeral. When he walks into the church the coffin is closed. He looks confused at everyone who's sitting there and opens the coffin. When he opens the coffin he sees two babies lying in it. He smiles at the babies and tries to pick them up, but someone drives a stake through his heart. When he turns around he sees that it's Mikael. He then wakes up and realizes it was a nightmare. He later tells Cami O'Connell that he dreams of Mikael because he's afraid of becoming a father, he doesn't need a psychologist to figure that out. But Elijah has also been dreaming of Mikael and they realize something else is going on. At Kieran's funeral Hayley starts coughing up blood and faints thanks to a spell Monique Deveraux had cast. Klaus, Elijah and Genevieve take her to the compound. Elijah can't hear Hayley's heartbeat, but only the babies. Genevieve tries to save her by using magic. Klaus gives Hayley his blood, but it doesn't work. Klaus then tells Elijah he won't lose the babies and he wants to deliver them now, but Elijah stops him. Genevieve agrees with Elijah, if they deliver the babies Hayley will bleed to death.
In the mean time Hayley is on the other side with Mikael. She doesn't understand why she can see him, but then she realizes the only reason why she can see him is because she is dead. She screams for her babies, but Mikael tells her it's too late to save the atrocity that's festering in her womb. She tells him she can't really be dead, because otherwise he wouldn't try to kill her and the babies. He tells her the babies are doomed anyway with a father like Klaus. She responds that her daughters have one advantage Klaus never had, they will never know Mikael. She then wakes up thanks to Genevieve's spell and tells Klaus and Elijah that Mikael tried to kill her. Later Hayley is sitting in her room in the compound when Klaus walks in. He tells her that she proved to be quite resilient, fighters, both her and the babies. She tells him that she decided to move back in. Klaus is happy to hear that and tells her that he only wants that the children are kept safe. She asks him what will be come of her once she gives birth. She fears Klaus will try to take their daughters away from her. Klaus asks her to follow him, he wants to show her something. He prepared a nursery next to Hayley's room. He tells her that whether she believes it or not he would actually like it if she's there with him. He wants their daughters to be raised by their parents in their family home.
Hayley writes a letter for her daughters when the babies start kicking. Klaus asks her how the littlest wolves are doing. She asks him if he wants to feel them kick. He puts his hand on her belly and smiles when he feels his daughters kicks. They smile at each other and he then leaves Hayley alone to continue with her letter. She explains to her daughters that she writes a letter to them because she never knew her own mother and she wants that her daughters know how much she is happy to have them. How their parents can't wait and she promises to them three things: a safe home, people to say how they love them every day and people to fight for them, no matter what. Hayley concludes her letter by saying "I love you. Your Mom."
Genevieve subdues Hayley, this causes the placenta to abrupt and Hayley starts having contractions. Hayley is brought to St. Anne's Church by the French Quarter Coven. Genevieve and Monique Deverauxinform her that they plan on sacrificing the baby for The Ancestors. Hayley starts screaming in terror and tries to fight the witches, swearing that they will not take her baby and she will kill all of them. Klaus hears her screams and screams in agony.
Hayley has been taken to St. Anne's Church by Genevieve, Monique Deveraux, Abigail and a few other witches. Hayley's placenta has ruptured so she has to give birth to the babies there. She tries to fight the witches when Klaus walks in. He kills one of the witches, but Genevieve, Monique and Abigail stop him. He watches as Hayley gives birth while he is held against the wall by the witches spell.
=== Early Life ===
==== Sacrifice ====
Once the babies are born Hayley asks if she could hold them. Genevieve hands the babies over, but Monique slits Hayley's throat only a few moments later. Monique breaks Klaus' neck and they leave with the babies. The witches have taken the babies to the cemetery, where they plan to sacrifice Kameneva and drain Hope of her powers till she dies. Klaus and Elijah try to find them, but they had cast a spell that creates the illusion of a maze. Elijah is heartbroken that Hayley is dead. They are unable to find the babies when Hayley walks in. The blood of Hope brought her back to life, she is in transition. She can feel her daughters and she leads Klaus and Elijah to the witches. Genevieve is about to stab Kameneva, but Elijah stops her. Monique and Abigail try to stop them by calling upon their ancestors.
Hayley fights Genevieve, but Genevieve has the upper hand. Klaus kills Abigail by throwing a pike at her. Monique takes matters into her own hands. Hayley and Klaus scream in terror. Monique is about to stab Kameneva when Marcel comes in and kills her. He takes the babies with him. Klaus follows him immediately. Klaus heals Marcel from his Werewolf Bite and asks to hold the babies. Klaus takes them to their nursery and puts them each in their cradles. In the mean time Hayley and Elijah questions Genevieve. She tells them that Esther was behind all this. And as long as the babies live people will try to kill them. Genevieve starts bleeding out of her eyes as the ancestors are coming for her since she failed them. She asks Hayley and Elijah to tell Klaus that she is sorry. Hayley stabs her with the knife Genevieve wanted to use to kill her daughters and she tells Genevieve that's she is not sorry. Elijah and Hayley then leave the cemetery to return to Kameneva and Hope.
Hayley is holding her daughters in the nursery while Elijah and Klaus discuss what to do next. Klaus thinks that his daughters will never be safe, no matter where she is. He doesn't want them to grow up in a prison. Hayley tells them there's another option. Hayley's parents thought they could protect her, but in the end they were killed and Hayley spent her childhood alone and unloved. She made a promise to herself and her baby that she would grow up differently. She thinks the only option is to send their daughters away, while they stay behind and clean up the mess that they've made. Elijah doesn't agree, they'll be haunted no matter what. Klaus tells him that won't be a problem if nobody knows that they are alive. Hayley says goodbye to her little girls and drinks a bit of Hope’s blood to complete her transition. Elijah tells Klaus that nobody will be able to protect the girls like them. Klaus tells him there's one person who can. Klaus gives Hope to Rebekah while Hayley gives Kameneva to Nikita, the headmistress of a Boarding school. 
==== Taken by the Red Room ====
After two years with Nikita, Kameneva was deemed by the Red Room to possess genetic potential, and was purchased from the owners of the boarding school. However, Nikita owed the Mikaelson family her life and was not in agreement with the owners so she proceeded to search for her, until General Dreykov had her killed to prevent the Red Room Program's existence from being revealed.
==== Temporary Family Life ====
Kameneva was brought up within the Red Room Academy, where she endured both an education and indoctrination into the world of spy-craft.Romanoff became the star pupil in in this strict training environment. In 1992, Romanoff was granted a reprieve from the Red Room and was given an undercover assignment. Along with two other girls named Natasha Romanoff and Yelena Belova, the three acted as the daughters of Alexei Shostakov and Melina Vostokoff and relocated to the United States of America, where Shostakov and Vostokoff were tasked with retrieving cognitive data from the North Institute, a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility secretly run by HYDRA. For three years the four lived as an American family in Ohio and while aware that the family aspect was a simple ruse, Kameneva loved them all like they were her actual family while Shostakov and Vostokoff loved the three as their daughters. 
In 1995, Shostakov successfully stole the data and burned down the North Institute. Realizing that they had to leave Ohio and that she had to return to the Red Room, Kameneva became upset while Vostakoff apologized. As they fled to an airstrip, they faced resistance from S.H.I.E.L.D., who injured Vostakoff. Kameneva comforts Belova while Romanoff was forced to fly the plane herself and successfully landed in Cuba. Upon arriving, Kameneva apologized to Vostakoff, who told her not to let the Red Room take her heart.
As soldiers attempted to take Belova away, Kameneva and Romanoff went to Belova's defense and Romanoff held the soldiers at gunpoint while Belova clung to Kameneva. As Romanoff threatened to shoot the guards, Shostakov attempted to calm her down. Kameneva expressed her refusal to return to the Red Room or to allow Belova to be indoctrinated into the program, citing Belova's age, to which Shostakov reminded them that they were even younger. As he took the gun from Romanoff, Shostakov told them that they would be all right, and that they were to take care of each other. However, on Dreykov's signal, Kameneva, Romanoff, and Belova were sedated and placed on a plane headed to the Red Room Academy.
==== Red Room Training ====
Kameneva awoke in a cargo container with several other girls, watching as Dreykov told his men which girls to kill and which to take. As a guard took Belova away, Kameneva and Romanoff rushed to their younger sister's side and Kameneva gave them each a third of a photograph of their family before another guard pulled her away. Returning to the Red Room Academy, she resumed her prior training, undergoing psychological conditioning and physical training, while exceeding in her marksmanship abilities. During one of her training exercises, she was forced to execute an innocent man, which would later haunt her.
As a final ceremony to complete her training, Kameneva was given an involuntary hysterectomy and had her ovaries and uterus removed, with the Red Room citing the need for sterilization as they believed pregnancy was the one thing that would prevent a Widow from completing their mission, a procedure which she deeply regretted later in her life. Following her graduation, Kameneva was given the mantle of "Black Widow” and was placed in the KGB by General Dreykov, and soon became regarded as a master spy and one of the world's greatest assassins. In one of her missions, she killed many members of a prostitution ring and set the place on fire. However, she left the innocent women inside. One of them managed to escape and became a huge fan.
==== Budapest Operation ====
Due to both her expertise and her growing threat to global security, Kameneva and her adoptive sister Romanoff quickly appeared on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar, prompting Nick Fury to send Clint Barton to eliminate them. Barton went against this order, recognizing their skill and seeing the good in them, and recommended them for recruitment into S.H.I.E.L.D. In order to defect to S.H.I.E.L.D., they were tasked with assassinating Dreykov in Budapest. During the mission, Kameneva, Romanoff, and Barton rigged the building with bombs, and Kameneva used Dreykov's daughter, Antonia, to ensure his location.
Kameneva, knowing that Antonia was in the building, gave the order to detonate, seemingly killing Dreykov and his daughter. This mission would haunt Kameneva, although she convinced herself that killing Antonia was necessary to completing the mission, and clearing herself from the Red Room. After engaging in a firefight with the Hungarian Special Forces, the three agents hid themselves for ten days, two of which were spent inside the ceiling of a subway station, before being able to leave the city. Officially defecting from Russia, Kameneva joined the ranks of S.H.I.E.L.D. along with Romanoff. 
==== Falling for Barton ====
As Kameneva and Barton worked closely together, she ended up confiding in him and the two quickly fell in love. They eventually married and told Fury, of their relationship. He made sure to exclude it and anything about their personal relationship from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files in order to protect them, as well as setting up a farmhouse for the couple in Iowa. Barton and Laura had two children, Cooper and Lila, who were raised in secrecy at the farmhouse.
