Baroque is a nightclub in Moscow, Russia.
History
Natasha Romanoff went to Baroque on a S.H.I.E.L.D. mission to find and interrogate Mikhail Fjodorov about technology from Stark Industries that had been taken. Nikolay Baskov was at the club and noticed Romanoff, and he asked for a drink from the bottle she was carrying for himself and a woman her was with. Romanoff agreed and approached Fjodorov, giving him the drink he had ordered. Romanoff seduced Fjodorov and was about to take him outside to interrogate him, when Fjodorov was suddenly shot in the head several times by a mysterious woman.
The woman blamed Romanoff for the shooting and ran, causing a group of men to surround her. She used Taser Disks to escape, and fled to the roof where a supply drop had been left behind for her. As she began to get cornered, she jumped off an used a Glider Harness to escape. She chose a new identity for herself as she fled.[1]
