The elf has been travelling to the world, and picking up widows on a mission. Those girls don't even know what happens before finding themself on the island.
The group on the island has settled nicely. It's been 3 days since. People can be seen on the beach, playing and sunbathing. "Hey, can you put this lotion on me?", lying down on the bench topless, a widow asks her fried. "Sure!"
There's people in the library, the entertainment center, the recovery bath, the salon, the spa, and many more. Everywhere you go, they will be people there.
The girls are totally treating life on the island as a vacation. There's no need to clean up or find food. All of the services are provided. They have never felt this relaxed. "Is this utopia?"
The elf popped a few times, and sent new people to Meowth. The new ones are confused and vigilant. "Hello, you must feel confused by all of this. I will explain it to you. Put down your knife first."
The girls help the new ones to get settled. It is after 3 days enjoying life before they are summoned to the Great Hall. The masked man is standing on the podium, waiting for them.
"I'm sure there's a lot of questions you want answered. But first, I'll say what I'm going to do." The masked man said calmly, but his voice can be heard all around the hall.
The elf uses a sonorous spell to do this. The widows who stayed here for a while had learned to accept the mystery here. While the newbie is greatly shocked.
" You guys can go out to the world. I have erased traces of you in the Red Room, so there's no record of you anywhere. You can get the queen's help to create your new identity ."
" I'll help those who are seperated from their family to reunite. For those who doesnt have families, I can introduce you to a good home. "
" The assets of Dreykov, the other facilitator of the red room, are now being used as a compensation for you. I have left them all to the queen, so you can check your account later when you finished your identity. "
" For the widows who already had their graduation ceremony, please stay back after this for a private discussion".
"You guys can ask question now". The atmosphere is like in a class, so people raise their hand to ask.
A 8 year old asian kid asks. "What if we don't know where we used to live?" She was taken when she was 5,her memory of her hometown is blurry.
"That's not a problem for me, I can see your memory and reference it to find your home."
Another similar kid asks "What if our family doesn't want us?"
"You can decide if you want to go to a new family, or someplace else."
The elf has cross referenced all the countries' databases in the world and has their missing child record. There's many kids here who are labeled missing. He added.
" I will check if your family deserves you before letting you leave with them, so that you will not be exploited again."
It is better to leave them in a new home with new, good parent rather than bad parent who sold them in the first place.
" Can we really leave? " the kid ask in a doubtful tone
" Yes, you are free to do so. If you think that the memory of being in the red room is too painful, I can erase that for you."
Surprisingly, none chose to erase it. Their experience makes them who they are today, even the painful ones.
The elf smiles behind the mask when he gets the peoples answer and has an impression on his mind. " These are all strong women. "
The last questions from the kids are" Can we stay on the island? "
It was a 5-year- old kid who wanted to know. There's no painful thing on the island, so she really likes it here. She can play and eat whatever and whenever she wants.
The elf is silent for the first time since the Q&A, before he finally says ." You can stay longer, but you need to go back to the human world. Living in isolation is not good for you."
He could take care of them, but it's not good for the kid if he does that. The kids left the hall after he ordered them, leaving the widows there. "You guys can ask me things too"
Surprisingly, the first question he got wasn't why he do it, or when can they leave, but
" You says to kids to go back to human world, is this not the human world?" Annika, a 21 years old widow asked. She has been curious for the days she is here. With magical being, robots, the ghost,the house.
"When you guys left here, your memory of the island will fade away. You will remember the time you spent here, but can never comes back. The place is in the human world, but at the same time, not."
Annika asked again "Are you not a human too?" she's been thinking about it.
The masked men stayed silent. "Next question" he ignored it.
"Is this all of us widows?". Another girl asked.
"All of the widow who didn't manage to get out. "
"Are there people who manage to get out?"
"There is. She is the one who led me to Dreykov."
Yelena, who is searching for her sister on the island, continues asking "Is that Natasha? Have you met Natasha Romanov?"
She considers Natasha her real sister. She did hear about her while still in the red room. She really misses her, and wants to be with her sister.
"Calm down Yelena" the elf says when he realises who's asking. "Your sister is fine. She recently joins another organisation that are protecting the world on its surface."
Yelena is surprised when he says her name. "Can I meet her?" she asks in expectation .
Unfortunately the masked man shook his head. "it's better not to. Your sister is being monitored now. If you meet her, you might have to join the organisation with her. The director has a persecution complex, so he won't let you go."
The elf then explained about Shield to the widow. Some of them are really angry when they hear it. They slam the table with their fist.
*Bam* " Where are they when we are suffering? Why should we need to be monitored just because we are a 'potential threat'? The world is the one who made us like this!"
They shouted for a while before calming down. It's not sure why, but they think that the man won't lie to them. Or more likely, he didn't need to. A strong man rarely lies.
Yelena is nervous when she asks " Shouldn't you save her? She won't be able to get out of this life".
The masked man is silent before answering it kindly to yelena. "I can save her, but I don't need to."
Yelena is a bit angry and a little disappointed. "Why wouldn't you?
" Your sister is the one who blew up Dreykov. She is the reason I can save the rest of you. " The people here are shocked when they hear that.
The elf continues " Your sister will meet many special people during her time there. You don't need to worry as she'll adapt quickly in her life there. Fate has something else in store for her, it's better for me not to interfere. You'll know what I'm talking about in 2013"
Yelena wanted to plead for her sister, before another widow asked." Why 2013? Can you see the future? "
"... Parts of it" Ignoring the widow's shock, he says to Yelena. "It might seem unfair, but life is unfair. She's also thinking about you, so don't worry about her. You can freely meet her, even go shopping together in the future ". He coaxed her like a child.
Yelena has tears in her eyes when told she couldn't see her sister yet . The tears touch the elf's soft heart.
He says " Well, if you really want to, you can join the organisation with your sister. But I don't think you guys could spend much time together as you'll need to do missions."
The room is silent for a while. Yelena is comforted by the widow next to her. The others continues to ask questions.
" You say we can leave, can we go now? ". Although grateful, the one who asks wants to live her own life now. She also wants to test whether the man really doesn't want to keep them there.
"Yes, you can leave now. A total of 50 can leave the island first."
"Why 50? Couldn't all of us go now?
" I have only 50 potions for now, the rest have to wait if you want it. If you don't need the potion, you can go now. "
" What potion? " The widows are vigilant.
" The potions for you to have a family of your own. "
Confused at first, then the widow realised what he said. Some of the older ones stood up, nearly running toward him, before stopping in their tracks and asking again.
"Could you really give us that back?" she asks in tears. They have been robbed from the chance to get pregnant during the graduation ceremony in the Red Room. Making them a weapon instead of a woman. But now there's a hope for them.
"Yes, but I only have 50 for now. I'll get the rest next month." the elf said kindly. He bought the organ regrowth potion from [Madam Pomfrey Apprentice].
He didn't expect the number of widows to be 3 times that. In the movie it shows only a part of them. This wasn't part of the quest, but he did it because he felt sorry for them.
Some of the widows cried, making those who held back their tears to join them. He waited patiently for the widows to calm down before asking if they had any more questions.
The widows are silent, there are no more questions, he thought, but before he wanted to leave, they asks. "Who are you? Or rather, what are you?"
The island is mystical. She now gets back her life and other things that are robbed from her. There's a small part of her that thinks the man in front of her is a god.
The elf is silent for a while, and says " I have no name. " before he left. He really doesn't know what name to give the half elf.
He asked the widow to discuss who should take the potion first from among them. Those selected will meet him at the clinic. The chosen widows are mainly the older ones, as they are the ones that waited the most.
"The potion will take one day to complete its work. You will be monitored by No 41." Droid no 41 is the reward he gets from the quest. It's a medical droid.
The Droid knowledge is higher than him in treating various diseases. The bonus quest he got is in a mystery box. He hadn't opened it yet, but he's very excited.
He has already cured Antonia Dreykov. Her nerve damage took a while to recover, but now, she's not in pain any longer. He sent her to her relatives place.
The relatives don't know what Dreykov does exactly, or how evil he is, so they are treating Antonia really well. He also had obliviated her memory of the explosion. It's the least he can do for her.
After a night, 50 widows have already regrown their organs. They are very excited when they see the result. "It's the real deal!". Looking at the scanner, they are now complete women.
The widows go to the computer room and create their new identity. Some kept their name, while others created a new name for themselves. Once done, they got a notification on their account.
Their eyes widen when they see their balance. "10 million dollars!!!! I have more than 10 million dollars!!!!`` They are very excited. The elf doesn't conceal anything about Dreykov and other red room executives' assets.
They can check the compensation they got from the previous organisation. They can live life in luxury now, not worrying about money for the rest of their lives. They also don't have the need to become freelance assassins as they do in the TV series.
While they are there, they search for what happens when the red room is destroyed. They really didn't expect the incident to be so terrifying.
Here's what the elfs did in 3 days. Dreykov has a lot of evidence for blackmail material in several countries: politicians, government members, military and others. The fat guy keeps that to ensure his organisation's influence.
The elf takes over and sends the evidence directly to the enemy of those people, so that they are bitten ferociously.
The founding members, high level executives of Russia, all of them are dead. He kills everyone who has direct ties to the organisation.
Even the stand-in of the Russian president is assassinated. He knows that is the stand-in, but he leaves a message at the scene. It was the address of the real president.
His action causes terror and turmoil to the world. The organisations that exploit young girl to become agents, what they do to the girls, are all exposed to the world. Many members of the public are in outrage, demanding answers from the government.
Dreykov ties are so deep that members of the White House are also involved. Shield tries to intervene by the order of the world security Council, but there's no evidence at all for them to get started.
They are also under fire because a lot of the girls were taken from the allied countries. Shield incompetency is pointed out.
Actually, Dreykov is a Hydra member, that is why the elf had to save the girls quickly. If not, then Hydra can cover it up easily. Shields' eyes are also blurred by the Hydra member within. A lot of evidence is popping out from various parts of the world.
The brothels and sort are cracked down. Some rich pervert in the world is arrested. They couldn't get out of this one. When they try to 'die' inside of prison to get out, the elf makes them die for real.
"If you atone quietly, I will spare your life. But if you didn't, then don't blame me in your afterlife."
The incident is called "The Widow's Revenge" by the media. All of them who are involved, are basically dead. The elf also visited Natasha and Yelena's mother, Melina Vostokoff.
She is Dreykov's architect, and also the one who made red dust. He didn't kill her, as she used to be a widow, but he erases her memory of the Red Room. Making her an ordinary farmer. He didn't erase her memory of Natasha and Yelena though.
"At the very least, the memory of her happy life will stay with her." This is the elf's bottom line.
Undercurrent is brewing from the major organisations of the world. The CIA, Nato, Shield, Hydra, even Wakandan, trying to find the girls.
All of them couldn't do anything with Ryan as a backer for the girls. "I still have the bonus quest reward I haven't opened yet."
