"Were are they?" Janet van Dyne muttered to herself as she fluttered over the huge warehouses by some abandoned docks in New York. She wasn't sure if she should just go in. Tony had said to wait for them but she was getting tired of waiting. Then she heard a very silent buzz. She looked around and saw a red ant flying towards her with a small man on it's back in a red outfit and helmet. She sighed. "Hank, finally! Were the rest?"

"Hey. Panthers waiting bellow and the rest are on their way. Tony said to spy in with him and report to make sure what you saw as right."

"What you mean? I know what I saw, I'm not crazy."

"We're not saying that. We just want to make sure what you saw was right. It's kind of hard to believe that Reaper escaped the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship unnoticed."

"Unless they just didn't tell us." She harrumphed crossing her arms.

"True. Now let's go." They flew down to the side of the warehouse. They landed by Black Panther were he stood hidden in the shadows.

"Ready?" he asked quietly. You could hardly see him in his Panther costume. They nodded. Panther silently climbed the side of the wall to the roof and got in from above one of the warehouses. Wasp flew into the second one from a hole in a window. Ant Man flew through a little crack in the wall to the third warehouse.

"We're in." he said in his COM link.

"Good, what do you have?" Tony asked.

"I don't see Reaper but this has defiantly been a temporary base for Hydra since Hydra Island was destroyed." He said grimly. All around were men in the green Hydra uniform moving boxes or unpacking guns and such. Others simply lounged around. Then a bald man in a green suit walked by surveying the workers. He had his hand and red claw arm behind his back and the glass over his right eye glared around. "But I have a visual on Baron Strucker."

"That's never good. Well Captain, Hawkeye and I are ready. Thor is still on his way, but no idea were the Hulk is. I'll go and back you up since you have Strucker." Iron Man said. He was in the jet hovering above the warehouses in stealth mode. He glanced back to the others. Captain America was fixing his shield on his arm and Hawkeye was getting his bow ready.

"Wait." Wasp interrupted in to the COM link. "I just saw Reaper."

"Are you sure?"

"Duh. Not a lot of people walk around in a giant robe and a curved toothpick as a hand."

"Proper name is scythes." Hank said matter-of-factly.

"Whatever."

Iron Man sighed.

"I to have spotted a Hydra agent." Panther added.

"Who? Wait let me guess, Viper?"

"Er, no worst." Panther said hesitantly. "Black Widow."

"Of course.' He sighed. Hawkeye had walked up from behind him his eye's narrowing. Tony looked at him.

"I'll back up Panther." He said determinedly as he walked to the opening.

Iron Man shook his head. "Then please be careful. And think before you act."

Hawkeye paused surprised then coolly said "Aren't I always?"

Iron Man's mask closed. "No." He followed him to the opening with Captain America.

"Well good luck men." Captain America said with a slight smile. Then they jumped.

As they plummeted to the Earth they began to angle themselves away and fell to their destinations.

Iron Man crashed through the roof and landed in the center of the building. Everybody froze. "Mine if I crash the place?" Then Panther attacked.

Captain America raised his shield and it broke through the roof and he landed and quickly tossed his shield. Four men went down and the other finally got it. Wasp stinger's brought another four down.

Hawkeye fell through a glass window on the roof. " How are you guys?" He fired to arrows and they exploded. Panther tossed some vibranium daggers.

The battles went on through out the warehouses. The Hydra soldiers fired their guns but the Avengers were beginning to win. Then Iron Man shot Baron Strucker. It went right through him.

"What?"
"Did you think it would be so simple?" Baron smiled as the hologram began to fade and left.

"Well crap."

Meanwhile, Black Widow was mostly watching, trying to remain hidden till the best moment her green eyes focused on the two Avengers. Especially Hawkeye. She took a minute to glance around and make sure no other Avengers were coming. Suddenly an arrow whizzed by nearly hitting her head. She quickly ducked and glared from were it came from. She saw the person in the purple outfit holding the bow and notching another arrow. She stared critically to the face under the mask and slowly her eyes widened in confusion, surprise and shock, almost scared. She opened her mouth and froze. Then she whispered. "What are you doing here?"

Hawkeye continued to fire arrows at the agents, each one hitting their mark. He looks around catches a sight of long red hair. Only one girl would be here. Or so he thought. He glanced at Panther who was doing good. He took a kick to the back but merely did a flip and resumed his fight. He turned back to Widow but saw another sight of long hair. Who could it be? Somebody punched his shoulder. He fell forward but turned around and hit the guy in the forehead. He was electrocuted and fell.

By now the buildings were beginning to fall apart. Pieces of timber were already falling, smashing around, and coming down faster. There was a small fire that was spreading.

The he caught sight of the long hairs, one red another brown. He froze. It was like a mirror but smaller and obviously feminine. Black Widow was talking to her. Hawkeye tried to figure out who the girl in purple was and why her outfit was like his. Their eyes met. But when he realized who it was, it was already too late.

"You shouldn't be here." Black Widow cried. She fired at the girl in purple but only towards her feet and shoulders, as a warning. "You'll get hurt!"

"Oh, like you care." The brown eyes looked at her sarcastically.

"You know I've always cared." she said gently yet an edge of steel

"Then how could you, Natasha? How can you betray everyone like that? Your friends, S.H.I.E.L.D., Clint, me? How?" she was furious but tears were at the corner of her eyes. She shook her head angrily, her thick brown hair waving around.

"Please." She whispered. "Just leave. I don't want you to get hurt. I don't know what's going on with you but just go. Did Clint send you?"

"No. I didn't even know he was here." She said truthfully as she raised the bow and arrow and glanced at Hawkeye. She met his eyes, were he stood frozen then turned around. Widow raised her wrist.

"Please. This whole place is falling apart, crumbling down. Just go. Go back home and be safe. You won't hit me."

"And you won't hit me either."

"Please." Widow whispered. She stared at her desperately. They stared, each waiting for the other to make a move.

Suddenly there was a loud groan. They looked up in shock as a giant wooden beam began to fall. The girl stood frozen. Widow had begun to run but then noticed her. "Run!"

Widow raised her arm and fired at the beam. Part of it blew up but the main part still fell. Her eyes widened in horror as the girl fell along with it.

"NO!" She quickly sprinted to the wood and pushed it off the girl. She laid on her back, her eyes were shut and blood trickled from the back of her head and mouth. She whispered "No." Widow put her the side of her head on her chest and heard her heartbeat. She sighed.

Clint had still been in shock that she would be here. Then he saw the wooden beam fall. He quickly jumped up and began to run over some boxes. Then he jumped on half of a wooden beam hanging across. He froze crouched as she fell. He yelled with Widow. "NO!"

No no no no no no. How could I have let this happen? He thought to himself. Why? And Widow. Crap, why? Then he saw Widow push the beam off of her and get closer to her.

NO. It's her fault. She's going to kill her! No, she won't. He fired an arrow. Widow barely dodged it after she sighed in relief. "Get away!"

She looked up in shock and stood as he landed in front of her, by the girl's head. "No, Clint. I- I didn't do it! I swear. I'm trying to help!"

He glanced down at the girl in pain of her condition. He closed his eyes and shook his head angrily. "Stop lying! Get out of here! Now, Widow! You've done enough! Now go or I swear!" he opened his eyes. He glared at her murderously.

Widow had been taking steps back. She covered her mouth and turned her head as tears began to come down. "Take car of her Clint." Then she turned around and ran off before she could make things worst.

Clint then immediately knelt down next to the girl. He pulled a strip of clothes off a near by uniform and gently wrapped it around her head. He knew she was breathing. He quickly checked her for any broken body parts. He merely worked, hardly noticing the ensuing battle going around him and the building falling down. Then a hand landed on his shoulder. He reeled away from the touch and immediately took a protective stance in front of the girl. "Stay back!"

"Hawkeye, calm down." Panther said slowly holding his hands up. He waited for Hawkeye to relax. "Come. All the Hydra agents have fallen and Ant-Man is taking care of the fire problem as we speak. Now, who is she?"

"A-a - a friend. I know her. She- uh- she, well, she knows me. It's hard to explain."

Panther stared then nodded. "Very well. We will take her to be treated and healed."

"But we can't just take her to a hospital. How do we-?"

"Watch out bellow!" A voice called. Ant-Man stood in big form, over the buildings, his hands cupped. He let his hands fall apart and water came down to the building next to them.

"Ant-Man! Hank! I need you right now!" Hawkeye cried out. Hank turned around. He walked towards them as he shrunk to his normal size.

"What happened?" then he caught sight of the girl and gasped. "Oh." Then he seemed to take a closer look. "Why does she look-?" he looked at Hawkeye's dismayed expression and he narrowed his eyes. Then he knelt down and examined her. He tightened the wrap on her head and checked her body for injuries.

"Hank, what happened?" Wasp said as she grew to normal size besides them. "Oh, who's she and why does she look like a mini-"

"What's going on?" Tony came from behind. He paused as he looked at the girl and pulled back his mask and turned to Clint. "Hawkeye. What is this?"

"Someone who needs help. So can you help her?" he snapped at Hank.

"I'm not the greatest doctor but the injuries seem very basic. She just has a cut in the back of her head that I can sew up on the jet. She should wake up, but we need to move her to the jet."

"Then let's go!"

"Shall I take her?"

"Crap, when did you get here?" Hawkeye asked Thor.

"I arrived in the middle of the battle. Along with friend Hulk." He answered impassively as Hulk came from behind a pile of rubble. "Now shall we go?"

"Yes."
