Russians Game-Chapter 1) Breaking and Entering

Running, running, running. She ran toward one thing or away from another. That's all she ever did. That was her life, what she was trained for. She had no other life nor knew any other life. Her life was black and white with a little hint of red.

This was not her first mission. Not that she could even remember her first mission, she was so young then. You would have thought she could remember back that far with the super soldier serum coursing through her veins.

Anyway, she thought about her mother she had never met as she flipped through the window 90 feet above the ground. There were 2 guards patrolling the hallway she flew into but they were no matter. She knocked both of them unconscious before one of them even had the chance to touch their radio. She needed a mode of transportation through to get to the data room. All she had to do was look up.

About 30 seconds later she was crawling through the musty ventilation shaft. She had to stay on the very tips of her toes and fingers so she would not a make noise that would echo like a blaring she made a single mistake in where she put her foot are slipped she surely would be captured. They would search her and discover her dark secret that she made sure stayed a secret. She did not make mistakes though.

She heard guard's feet pounding the floor below after the patrolling security had found the 2 unconscious guards. They were running in the opposite direction because there was no doors leading this way from where she had fled. She headed toward the mainframe always alert of her and her surroundings.

She pulled out a knife from a hidden in a pocket strapped to the inside of her thigh. She plied it under the vent cover at just a precise angle, so that the cover slid into the shaft and did not go clattering to the floor. She slid through the hole in the ceiling just stopping before she dropped. She did not just jump because that could possibly trigger laser targets or the pressure plates on the floor. She dangled by merely her fingertips before sliding down and landing precisely on one hand. She did not see any visible alarms triggered by her breaking into this room. Though she knew her occupancy in this building was surely noted.

She looked around inside and it seemed less like a room but more of a huge warehouse inside the facility. Not for storing items but for data. She felt comfortable but still stayed on guard. This room was so big if they even tried to look in here for her she knew it would take hours for them to search the whole area, much more time to even find her. She went to the relative center of the room and sitting there was a lone computer. It looked out of place surrounded by the thousands of databanks.

She hacked into the computer as easily as if it were her own laptop. She took out the flash drive tucked neatly into her hair, plugged it into the port, and clicked 'Download All'. As the progress bar slowly inched forward she heard a loud electronic voice speak over the P.A. system sounding much like a female Jarvis would.

"Attention this is a 'Code Blue'. Self-destruct countdown begins in t-minus 3 minutes. Please evacuate the facility immediately. Repeat this is not a drill. This is a Code Blue emergency. Self-destruct countdown begins in t-minus 3 minutes. Please evacuate the facility immediately."

She looked back to her computer realizing that she probably set off the Self-destruct by cheating with the 'Download All' button rather than manually just doing it. Another complication was that it was downloading so slowly she did not think it would download before the countdown started. She did not know how long the countdown was either, it could be anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 seconds. She did not get stressed though. She had gone through situations much tighter than this.

When she only had 2 minutes before the countdown started the download finally finished. She clicked the flash drive out of its port and neatly into her hair. She could clearly not take the door out even though it was much faster because for one, she did not know in what direction the door was and two, there would clearly be a fight following her coming out of that door. Her appearance would be screaming "Not supposed to be here! Not supposed to be here!"

She took the shaft but did not take the precaution of dreading through it soundlessly. What worse could happen than a 'Code Blue' to signal her arrival? She had memorized how she had gotten to the mainframe so she was able to trace her steps back to how she got to where she broke in.

She jumped down from the air shaft. The voice came back, "Self-destruct sequence will initiate in 60 seconds." She ran towards the stairwell because she was unable to jump out the window to the rooftop she jumped from. For the rooftop was 2 stories above the floor she was on now and the window was 90 feet off the ground. She ran down the stairs jumping some stairs by threes. She came to the entrance and calmly walked out.

She did was not breathing heavily because she was highly trained in cardio exercise. To the rest of NYC she was just an ordinary girl going for a walk. The sirens inside the SHIELD headquarters was not audible to the outside world.

A mother rolling a stroller stopped and asked her, "What is your name poor girl? Are you lost?"

She truthfully answered "Nadezhda Romanoff or 'Naddy' for short. No I am not lost." At that exact moment the SHIELD headquarters went up in flames. Naddy thought it was a little dramatic for SHIELD to blow up their base because of an intruder, but who was she to question it. She knew she had to get back to Russia and fast before she went over the allotted time for her mission. If she did she knew she would be seriously punished.
