Chapter 2
Black Widow
"You're seriously going to take this girl's word about Loki's return?" Natasha shouted at Fury. Fury sat behind his desk with his hands folded while he stared at a stern Natasha and an extremely calm Annie.
"I'm twenty years old thank you very much so don't treat me like a child," Annie replied and Natasha glared at her.
"I honestly don't care how old you are just where in the hell are you getting this information?" Natasha snapped.
"I already told Fury. I've been in contact with Jane Foster, Thor's-"
"Yeah, yeah, Thor's Earth girlfriend but who cares? Who the hell is this Spiderman guy?"
"I only know a little bit about him. He's young but he travels by web or that strange string you picked up on the truck. He's fast and his real identity is unknown," Annie replied and kicked her boots up onto Nick's desk while she sipped on Dr. Pepper.
"He doesn't seem like some big shot. Big deal that he acts like a spider," Natasha said and sat down next to Annie.
"It would seem so but he has information about OsCorp most likely. Whenever I spot him he's always near the corporate building. OsCorp would be the perfect place to create a device that could stop Loki."
"Fine then let's go talk to the one in charge-"
"Can't, I've been told that the one who owns the company is on sick leave and has been for quite some time," Fury responded and Natasha huffed.
"Then what are we going to do? I'm not going to search the city looking for this idiot? I have other missions to complete."
"I want to assemble the Avengers and make this catching of Spiderman a priority. If he has information on Loki's defeat then I want it," Fury replied and Natasha's jaw drop.
"You can't be serious!"
"I'm dead serious. Last time we faced Loki we were close to defeat. This time I want to keep New York safe."
"So we have to drop everything just to find this loser? Why can't Annie do it? She can seduce him or something. Tell them Annie," Natasha snapped and Annie glared at her.
"One, I don't seduce guys unless I like them and since I never saw what this guy looks like behind his mask I don't like him. Two, I can't just fly around the city, my ice tracks are going to fall onto the city at some point and three he's fast and oh yeah I CAN'T FLY," Annie hissed.
"I say we have Stark take him out."
"Can't, he can use his web powers to trap him. We need a team," Fury replied.
"So then get Thor, Stark and Annie to track him down, I'll research this OsCorp place and sneak in after closing hours. Let me take Hawkeye," Natasha replied.
"Thor won't be here for a while, he's fixing up the damage that the Dark Elves caused in Asgard. Annie and Stark can't catch him without you. You have the combat skills I need to catch him. No more ifs and buts you're on this case and I'm sending word to the others. Now get out and watch OsCorp for any signs of this guy," Fury shouted and picked up his phone to call Stark.
"I swear this is a waste of time," Natasha replied and Annie rolled her eyes at her. They were both dressed in their regular combat outfits except Natasha carried special S.H.I.E.L.D. equipment that allowed her to swing from building to building. They've been watching the building for hours and Natasha finally got a call from Stark saying he would bring food and fun after he was finished with Fury and Rogers.
"So… Fury told me you cut your hand and ended up as some frozen girl," Natasha said to Annie.
"Yep, it's a problem though when you want to hold hands with someone. Most of the time everything I touch freezes up," Annie replied sadly.
"Ah don't worry about it, you're not the only single one here."
"Work causes problems?"
"If you ever join, you'll never get time for fun. Ask Rogers when you meet him, he'll tell you the same thing."
"Who is Rogers?"
Natasha smiled. "You'll see," she replied. Annie gave her a confused look before seeing a blur of red and blue and she got up.
"Let's go," Annie said and made a path of ice to the building closest to OsCorp. Natasha followed and then swung over to a building around the other side of OsCorp. Annie paused and held her shield out in front of her while her eyes scanned the skies and buildings around her. She saw him swing onto the building nearby and followed him until she slammed into a brick wall.
"Why are you following me?!" Spiderman shouted.
"Annie!" Natasha shouted from across the way. Spiderman turned and Annie held onto his arm.
"Don't leave! We need you!" Annie cried out.
"What? Why would you need me?"
"You have information about Loki! Spill Spider boy!" Natasha said and held a gun up to the back of his head.
"Whoa take it easy! I'm just watching OsCorp! I don't even know who this Loki is! Who are you people?" Spiderman said and threw his hands up. Annie and Natasha exchanged glances and Natasha pressed the gun harder against his skull.
"Don't lie. We want to know about OsCorp and Loki, so spill."
"I don't know what you're talking about. Listen my best friend works there and I was just checking up on him. I've never been in there once!"
"LIAR!" Annie hissed and Spiderman shoved her against the wall.
"I'm not lying! Why would I lie if a gun is pressed up against my head?!"
"Alright, you're coming with us. I'm sure Fury can make you talk," Natasha replied but Spiderman was quick and shot a web at Natasha that pinned her to the ground and her gun over the edge of the building. He hurried off and Annie grabbed her shield from the ground.
"GO GET HIM! I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!" Natasha screamed and Annie followed Spiderman. She looked up and saw a bright light coming towards her. It must've been this Stark guy.
"Are you chasing after Spiderman?" Stark cooed into her microphone that she placed inside her ear.
"You could say that, he pinned Natasha down and left in a hurry, He knows something," Annie replied and turned the corner where she collided with Spiderman.
"Look, I have no idea who you people are or what you want from me but leave me alone, alright? I don't know anything about this Loki guy and what OsCorp has to do with this. Just get off my back!"
"We're on your side! Earth is in danger!" Annie cried.
"I have nothing to do with this! Leave me alone!" He shot a web at Stark who flew past Annie and fell hard onto the ground below them. Spiderman stared at her. "You stopped that truck this morning…"
"I did."
"Are you in league with that guy who tried to take out S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters this morning?"
"Not even, he's on Loki's side," Annie replied.
"Sorry, I'm not involved in this. Tell your buddies to get off my back," Spiderman replied and before Annie could reply he took off. She made an icy slide and landed near Stark who finally picked himself up but caused a huge pothole in the street. "So you're Iron Man huh? No offense but you're pretty clumsy,"
"I've had better days," Stark said coolly and Natasha ran towards them with her hair stuck up in places.
"Dammit! We almost had him," Natasha sighed.
"His best friend works there, he also sounds like a collage kid. We should get a list of student employees at OsCorp and question them," Annie replied. "This guy doesn't want to be found but he knows something…" Annie pondered silently about Spiderman.
