"You don't actually think that he will come here to talk to you himself, right? But don't worry, he will be here for the mission. Now shall we discuss the plan?"
---------------------------------------
"First tell me about the Red Room. I want anything, everything you can say about the place, the more we know, the more easily we will be able to complete the rescue. Leave nothing from me, your time starts now."
"The academy is located in Minsk, Belarus. Each year they search for 27 girls who are compatible with their training and will be able to sustain it based on tests run to determine their potential. The girls that have completed their training then receive missions which come from a variety of clients, sometimes the highest bidder or sometimes for the "greater good". Currently, in the mansion, there should be approx. a hundred widows. They have received the same training as me so they are more or less as good as I am at doing assassinations. The head of the academy lives separately, so we can go, blast him and be done with it." Natasha answered.
"We'll be rescuing the girls first Ms Romanoff. We can't have the widows escape after their leader dies, can we? Though infiltrating the base can be difficult, we will be doing that and that only. After we have retrieved the widows we can kill the leader, no problem. Remember Ms Romanoff, for our organisation, the priority of having the widows become a part of us is much greater than killing whoever your leader is. You will take Elektra and Jessica to the base. Get the girls out, I will be assisting you through these coms. Take this chip, connect it to the central computer and wait for my signal, the boss will be supervising this mission and will drop in if needed. We blast the mansion after freeing the girls, and we don't want SHIELD to sniff things out."
"What if they decide to take part in this mission i.e killing the widows?"
"Don't you have a boss that needs to be taken care of, we will notify SHIELD about the main "priority", they will not trust us enough to leave that sick guy to us and we will have all the time in the world to do what we need to do."
"What about that guy who was talking to me on the phone, who is he?"
"...Wait, he already talked to you???"
--------------------------------------
<Alex: POV>
Back in the base,
"So Phil, how was your day?"
"Eventful, Mr Alvarez. We found out something pretty exciting, there is a whole organisation comprising dozens of widows, each of them as dangerous as Black Widow, the Red Room."
"Oh, well that is amazing. We weren't able to find that much but we did find that the Red Room is located in Minsk, Belarus and their leader lives here in Moscow."
"Oh," Phil replied, shocked and embarrassed.
"You let her go," yelled Hawkeye as he pushed open the door to the safe house.
"She ran away. BIG difference," replied Elektra.
"We had her, one strike and she would have died. Mission finished. But you just had to fuck up at the last moment, no."
"Do you want a fight, Clint? If yes, I will be glad to provide one, I have been looking for a reason to beat someone's ass up all day."
"Is that because you weren't able to beat 'the ass' that was required of you to beat up."
Before Elektra could take her sai out, and really do something that would not look good on her resume, I clasped her wrist and shook my head to tell her that a fight was not needed.
"Now that you two have stopped fighting, we can continue our discussion on what we should be doing," stated Phil. "As Mr Alvarez has brought us such important information, we should act on that. SHIELD will take their leader, while Nemesis can take their organisation in Belarus. I hope that's fine with you, Mr Alvarez." asked Phil.
"Ya, no probs here."
"...Great, let's strike tomorrow."
--------------------------------------
The Red Room Academy, Minsk, Belarus.
<Natasha: POV>
"Welcome, agent Romanoff, hope your break was successful in relieving you of some stress. Come on in, we have a new mission awaiting your expertise."
"What??? I just completed one, was that not good enough, I can't go on another mission right now."
"But that job was so last week, and I was not really asking you, was I?"
"..."
"Nemesis, a newly surfaced organisation, an organisation that though new has just made alliances with SHIELD and the X-men. This new organisation even killed Kingpin. Though Kingpin was not an ally, this organisation is one that may danger our interests in the future, Mr. Dreykov doesn't want that. Destroy it, you would be given a week, and you can select your teammates as you wish."
'They want me to destroy Nemesis, the irony.....', I thought, as I continued listening to her bullshit,
We soon arrived at the briefing room, which coincidentally also happened to be the control room, ha lucky...
"After you, Ms Romanoff."
I entered the room and smirked when I saw that there were only two guards in there.
"You know what, Piper...."
"What??"
"Don't hate me for what I am about to do next, just take it as a bit of revenge, a bit of what Nemesis does."
-----------------------------------
"I have connected the chip you gave me to the central network." I turned around, Piper lay on the floor, one of the guards had his skull bashed into the keyboard, and the other guard, the only one who had tried to confront me lay beside his chair from which he was going to leap out with most of his teeth lying on the ground scattered like the stars in the night sky.
"Great, now wait. You will soon meet Jessica and Elektra. Help them infiltrate the base. And well, do whatever but take out all the girls, neutralize everyone needed and don't die. Oh, just a heads up, the boss will soon be arriving there, try not to make him do the heavy lifting because your future rank will be based on this performance."
"I really hope that the boss is not like her. Fucking bitch cut the call, I had doubts for god's sake. Ugh, well whatever, let's just do our work and say goodbye to this piece of shit academy. You can do it, Natasha. Let's go."
-------------------------------------
<Alex: POV>
"Ahhh, this air, I love it. (For those of you who don't know, I come from Delhi.)" I chuckled, while I was flying in the air.
I reached my destination and stood atop a tower to watch the fight that was currently going on in the mansion.
"Wait, something's missing....."
-------------------------------------
On the streets of Belarus,
"Sir, the jumbo tub is for 120 rubbles, the large one for 78 and the regular for 52."
"I would take one jumbo, please thank you."
"Sure sir, one minute." the guy selling popcorn turned around and started preparing one jumbo bucket.
"Here you go, sir."
"Tha...."
The voice was cut short when a burst of speed shot past the two and the tub went missing, replaced by a 100$ bill.
"...nks??"
"What the fuck just happened?" shouted the popcorn guy,
"I think an American wanted popcorn," replied the guy who was staring at his hundred-dollar bill (a dollar is worth more than rubble). "You know what, I would like one more if that's fine."
"Sure."
The guy began preparing another batch of popcorn.
<Swoosh>
But he wasn't able to, because the next moment the popcorn cart was gone.
"WHAT THE..."
----------------------------------------
<Alex: POV>
"Aahhh, watching a live-action movie starring the Black Widow, Elektra and Jessica Jones while eating popcorn is just really amazing" I stated with a tone of satisfaction in my voice. The popcorn cart stood beside me in all its glory, its state was anything but.
Jessica with her bare hands and her super strength was beating the guards left and right, while Elektra with her sai was cutting the guards as if they were butter. Natasha was providing support from behind with her dual Glocks, shooting any and everyone before they were able to use guns.
When all the guards in the hallway were neutralized or dead, I turned on my comm and called Elektra.
"Any updates?"
"As you can clearly "see", we have taken out most of the guards in this mansion, there weren't many, to begin with, they trust their widows a lot. Unfortunately, we neutralized the girls before starting this killing spree, Natasha knew the exact locations of the main training areas, so we dropped a chloroform bomb through the ventilation ducts knocking out all of them."
"Great, no damage to the girls and the mission is complete, I am flabbergasted at this accomplishment."
"Why does it sound like you are being sarcastic?"
"Hmmm, good question but as can be seen from the abilities shown by you throughout this mission I will leave the matter of finding out this answer in your capable hands. "
"..."
<Bang>
The door to one of the rooms flew open and hit Jessica on the back of her head, sending her flying.
From the door came a guy with a mask on half of his face wearing a black combat vest and a metal arm with a star symbol.
Elektra looked at the new guest and then at Jessica, "Hey Jess, you all right."
"I am fine, that was a lil unexpected is all."
"Ooooh, winter soldier. A new entry to the chaos, need any help." I asked Elektra.
"We just kicked more than a dozen asses, I think we can handle this tin can arm. So who is this masturbating maniac?" Elektra looked at Natasha and asked.
"Winter soldier, he is one of the trainers in the academy," said Natasha trying her best to control her laughter.
The winter soldier aka Bucky Barnes, reasonably angry at the insult rushed towards Elektra who in turn pulled out her sai from the sheath and sprinted back.
"Where are my popcorn again?" I looked at the cart which was empty and frowned.
"Are you eating popcorn while we are grinding our asses here?" questioned Elektra as she defended a punch from Bucky.
"No...."
Natasha, not able to shoot because of the close proximity of Elektra with Bucky threw her guns and ran towards Bucky. Jessica also removed the door's crumbles from her body, wiped off the blood from her face, and rushed in Bucky's direction.
"Hey, Jess you okay?" I asked.
"This is nothing really, you should see the guards."
Jessica leapt at Bucky and received a punch in her face, Natasha tried a sweep kick but Bucky jumped and kicked her on the head, Elektra stabbed Bucky, but the metal arm blocked the sai. It was a tough fight for both parties but after a couple of minutes, it was evident that Bucky was stronger than the three combined.
"Could you jump down and help, rather than eating popcorn, you bastard?" Elektra yelled.
"Say please," I replied.
"Hey, Jess, isn't he the boss? Elektra just called him a bastard," whispered Natasha.
"We have a very casual and chill professional relationship," smirked Jess.
"I will take this sai and put it so far....."
"Ok, I am coming, no need to get violent, oof." chuckling, I took up to the sky, flying towards the mansion.
"Our boss is coming, now no one will be able to save you, wanker."
"Aaaah, why the fuck do you keep on calling me a wanker? This arm is because of surgeries for god's sake." Bucky was not able to keep his cool and shot back at the girls.
"Woah, this is the first time I have heard him speak," Natasha stated, surprised.
"Really, hey wanker are you a Buddha follower?" questioned Jessica.
"I SAID DON'T CALL ME A WANKER." shouted Bucky, and rushed at the girls.
<Boom>
"And the great me has joined the fight, you should be honoured wanker, it was wanker, am I right?" I looked at Jessica to confirm.
"Yes, sir".
"Cool"
Bucky jumped at me and threw a punch at my face. I blocked it with my hand and looked at Bucky who was bewildered, this was probably the first time someone blocked his arm so easily.
"You are stong, wanker. You were able to beat all three of my top fighters alone. You are the first guy I would like to add to Nemesis, the question is would you join?"
Receiving a blank stare in response, I continued, "guess not. Maybe this will change your mind" I clenched his head and slammed it on a wall. I then took control of his mind and removed the barrier that was preventing him from accessing his past memories, looking at his face the pain was quite unbearable but that didn't make me stop.
"Aaaaaahhhhh," he screamed, the barrier was removed and he became unconscious.
