Natasha tried to peer around the smooth stone wall she was standing behind to get a look at the smugglers. Shield had sent Clint and her on a mission to take care of sex traffickers because the Feds were short on men and she had happily obliged. She detested people who sold humans for sex, labor, or drugs.

The plan had originally consisted of only Clint, Natasha, and two other backup agents from the FBI. They had been going over the map of the building they were rushing when Tony and Steve had walked in and listened in. They had asked to be a part of the infiltration because they were bored and Fury had grudgingly agreed. Then, of course, Bruce and Thor had to come along because where would the avengers be without their six superheroes?

Now the plan was more of an ambush than a quiet infiltration. Natasha didn't like it because she was a spy at heart, but who was she to say no when the men wanted to turn a mission into a competition to see who could blow up the most things? She gave a derisive snort before remembering where she was and mentally cursed. Her emotions were messing up her mojo, and the Avengers being there didn't really help.

The building was an old one, a Victorian style mansion, which was rare in Hell's Kitchen. Russian smugglers had sailed up the Hudson River posing as rich tourists taking a sail in their yacht when in reality there were twins on the lower decks who were to be bought by some rich guy looking for a little fun on the side.

Clint raised his eyebrows at her from across the doorway to see if she was ready to go in, and she nodded in reply. He pressed a button on his earpiece and Natasha could hear Tony's nearly silent engines outside the opposite window. The plan was a simple one in concept, create a distraction and then arrest the smugglers. But Shield hadn't really accounted for the safety of the kids, so the team had made some modifications to the original strategy. Tony's job was to distract the smugglers while Clint and Natasha rushed in and subdued the ringleaders while Steve and Thor looked for the children on the lower levels.

The Russians gave a shout when they noticed Iron Man floating outside their window, and began firing shots at the shining armored hero.

"Oh come on guys. You think your little pistols will punch through this?" he taunted, gesturing at the explosion proof, bullet proof, and overall badass metal covering his body. (Not Natasha's thoughts. She thinks he's just an ass.)

Stark expertly distracted, taunted, and yelled at the smugglers while Natasha and Clint ran in with gun and bow pointed at the men respectively.

"Get down now or I shoot! And I won't miss, no, not shooting at you." She uttered the last word with an air of total disgust and the 3 Russians in the room dropped to their knees and put their hands behind their heads, cursing in their native language the whole way.

Natasha curled her lip at some of the things they called her and whipped her gun across the brow of one of them when he voiced his particularly filthy opinion of her. He dropped to the ground and whimpered, only half conscious.

"Load them up into the truck." She ordered one of the FBI agents who had been shadowing her.

Natasha padded over to Clint who was standing in the corner talking into his radio. The ear pieces were too complicated for Steve at the moment, so they used radios when he participated.

"…found them in a 3' by 3' crate each. Ages appear to be older than we expected, maybe 17? A male and a female." She heard Steve's voice crackling through the old fashioned equipment.

Natasha put a hand on Clint's shoulder and spoke into his transceiver: "Are they hurt?"

"Is that Widow? Well they're both unconscious, but the girl seems fine and… Holy Shit! I think the boy might have been stabbed or something because he's bleeding all over!" There was a muffled clatter and then a grunt as Steve dropped his walkie-talkie and picked up the teenager.

Clint and Natasha exchanged a glance and then spun around and sprinted down the stairs two at a time.

This was my first Avenger's story, so if I got anything wrong or anyone is OOC I'm sorry. :/

I'll leave you to guess who the twins are, although if you've seen Age of Ultron you probably have a pretty good idea. I'll be updating soon and I hope you enjoyed this.
