Natasha Romanoff : I know who killed Fury. Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists. The ones that do call him the Winter Soldier. He's credited for over two dozen assassinations in the last 50 years.
After Bucky Barnes went rogue in Civil War, he briefly fought against Black Widow, who said to him, "You could at least recognize me." The line seemed to hint at some kind of history between the two that has yet to be revealed in the MCU.
Why did Natasha say to Bucky if he recognized her?
Fans speculate about one of Natasha's lines in Civil War. She and Bucky fight against each other while he is in Winter Soldier mode. As he is strangling her, she says to him, “You could at least recognize me.” Fans usually interpret this to mean that Bucky helped train Natasha in the Red Room as he did in the comics.
Bucky ended up at the Red Room, an assassin training facility, where he participated in the Black Widow Ops program as a trainer—and that's where he met Romanoff for the first time. The two soon started having an affair.

Who does Natasha have a crush on?
Natasha has had significant romantic relationships with various Marvel heroes, including Bucky Barnes, Clint Barton/Hawkeye, and Alexei Shostakov. Despite her training in deception and espionage, Natasha's emotional attachments have played a key role in her story and development.
During the War, the young Natasha served in the Russian army where she fell in love with another young soldier named Nikolai. Despite their initial happiness, their union did not end blissfully. Nikolai was killed in the war and the baby girl they conceived did not survive birth.
While under control of the Russians, Barnes meets and begins falling in love with Natasha Romanoff, who goes onto become the Black Widow. He reunites with her after regaining his senses in the modern era.

Bucky Barnes, like Steve Rogers, has lived for several decades due to cryogenic freezing and the super-soldier serum. Bucky's life expectancy could potentially surpass Steve's 116 years, depending on circumstances. Despite outwardly aging at the same rate as Steve, Bucky can still live for at least another 80 years.
Despite giving Bucky eight hours with Zemo, the Dora Milaje eventually came for him, which led to Bucky fighting those who aided and supported him so much. This naturally resulted in the Wakandans seeing Bucky as a traitor, specifically Ayo herself. Wakanda is not wrong to be angered by Bucky's actions.
As they practice with it at Sam's house in Louisiana, Bucky apologizes for being presumptuous and not comprehending the baggage that came with the shield.
In not so many words, Bruce confirmed that he did have feelings for Natasha, but his fear was too great, and he felt that she would be in danger if she stayed with him. Natasha wouldn't take no for an answer, and the conversation quickly devolved into an argument.
But they discovered that her memories of Bucky had not been altered like the rest of her memories – those memories had been completely removed. So, they are currently not together because Natasha does not remember who Bucky is or her relationship with him.
Of all the Avengers, Natasha, the Black Widow, was the one who had the most emotional influence upon Bruce. At the end of a battle, when the Hulk was no longer needed, she would speak calmingly and soothingly, “Hey Big Guy. The sun's getting real low.” And then, calmed, he would begin to transform back to Banner.
We see that he's deprogrammed 6 months before the snap in FATWS. He's then snapped away and comes back 5 years later. FATWS takes place 6 months after he comes back. So Bucky is likely 33 physically while chronologically being 107 (FATWS takes place in April 2024, so Bucky's wrong about being 106).
Taking the experimentation, cryogenic freezing and time skips into consideration, Bucky is physically somewhere in his mid-30s by the time The Falcon and the Winter Soldier takes place, making him appear seventy-some years younger than his chronological age.
The actor also said that Sam and Bucky's relationship is rooted in acceptance, appreciation, and love for each other. "You'd call it a bromance, but it's literally just two guys who have each other's backs," he said.
Rebecca Barnes was born to George and Winnifred Barnes along with her brother, James and two other siblings. Rebecca died afterwards, with her death being a sore spot for her brother later in life.
Surviving the war and believing Rogers had died during his last mission, Bucky eventually married Rogers' fiancé, Peggy and had two children, Marvin and Rebecca.
The two characters had been romantically involved until the events of Age of Ultron, with one scene featured in Infinity War. Yet there was no reference to the relationship in the final instalment of the hit Marvel franchise.
In an alternate reality, Captain America had a child with Rogue and had a family with Carol Danvers in the body of Rogue. Sharon Carter is recognized as Captain America's true love in the comics and their relationship has endured, with Sharon always supporting him.
Similar to the MCU variation of the characters, they aren't romantic. Instead, the two are strictly platonic. During this time, Black Widow has a dalliance with Iron Man and Hawkeye maintains a normal relationship with a civilian.
Mantlo left the series for Alpha Flight and that series' writer John Byrne took over The Incredible Hulk. The final issue of Byrne's six issue run featured the wedding of Bruce Banner and Betty Ross.
