Natasha presses the down button and elevator starts to go down. "I'm starting to have a really bad idea about this" Steve says. "It was your idea, too late to back out now." Natasha tells him.
There's a ding sound telling them that they had arrived at their destination. "It's pitch black in here." Steve says.
As if on cue another green light comes on. The room is big and there's rows of gurneys with straps on them and trays that have needles and small knives on them, the needles are filled with a clear liquid.
Steve walks to a tray and picks up a needle and examines the liquid.
"What is that stuff?"Natasha asks him. "I have a no idea but i have a feeling it's not something they use to sterilize the girls." Steve replies.
"Maybe it's some sort of serum." Natasha says.
"It does kind of look like it." Steve adds on, still looking at the needle.
"Look." Natasha tells him and gets his attention. "There's a door between those two metal cabinets." Natasha tells him.
Steve sees a white cloth that has the knives on them and takes the cloth and wraps it around the needle
"Bring those knives while you're at it, they may come in handy." Natasha says.
Steve puts the knives and the needle in his belt and him and Natasha start to walk towards the door, Natasha slowly turns the knob to open the door and the both walk in.
"What's up with them and green lights?" Steve asks.
"Seriously, it really sets the tone for an old creepy lab ." Natasha replies. Natasha and Steve look around the room and see a row full of little girls strapped to gurneys, the all have long tubes sticking out of their wrists.
The same liquid that was in the needles are in the tunes but instead the clear liquid is turning into a blood looking red.
The liquid is being pumped into the girls system. "What are they doing to these girls. This stuff looks like it could kill them." Natasha says.
"Maybe we should take the tubes out." Steve suggests. "We can't risk that, if we try to do that it could kill them." Natasha tells him. "So what do we do?" Steve asks.
"Contact Shield and see what they can do, I'm gonna go look around." Natasha answers. "On it and be careful." Steve replies. Natasha sees another door, another door means another room with more girls.
Natasha walks through the rows to get to the door, she's about to open the door but then it opens by itself. There is a little girl standing there with the door on the knob, Natasha looks at the girl. "Are you okay?" She asks the girl.
"Intruder." The little girl points to her."I'm here to help you and the other girls get to safety, i'm here to help all of you." Natasha tells her. "We don't need help." The girl tells her.
An alarm goes off and a gate comes down at the door that Natasha and Steve had came through. "Steve! Tell all of the Agents to get out...now!" She yells at him. More little girls start to come out of the room and Natasha starts to back up. The little girls that are on the gurneys start to wake up and Natasha starts to move away from them.
"Steve, we're surrounded and there's no way out!" Natasha yells. Steve looks up at ceiling and spots an air duct . "I think i just found a way out, come here." Steve tells her.
Natasha walks towards Steve and he point up at the air duct. The girls start running towards them, Natasha does flip and lands on a gurney while Steve blocks of the girls with his Shield, which seems to be distracting them from realizing where Natasha was, Natasha brings out her batons and they make an electric shocking sound that gets the girls attention and they start running towards Natasha.
Natasha puts her batons back and starts flipping from gurney to gurney until she is catapulted off of Steve's shield, making her way to the air duct. Natasha tightens her grip on the duct, using most of her strength and pulls the air duct door open.
Natasha pulls her way up and crawls into the air duct. She looks out and sees Steve standing on a row of lockers, he must of jumped off the gurneys to do that, the girls are coming up after him and are coming fast.
She sees that he's about to flip off a nearby locker to get the air duct and scoots over, Steve flips off the locker and is going up and grabs on to edge and is about to slip but Natasha comes out the air duct and catches him by his hand and pulls him up.
The lean against the air ducts walls and take a moment to breathe before they talk. "I think you was right about that serum theory." Steve says in between short breaths. "Let's get out of here." Natasha tells him.
The crawl through the ducts until they find a way out. "We're probably gonna need all of Shields reinforcements to bring those girls in, they're tough." Steve says. Natasha laughs, "What's so funny?" He asks her. "It's just that it's hard to imagine The Captain America being scared of little and 11 year old girls." Natasha answers.
"Well you would be scared if a bunch of super assassins came at you all at once." Stege tells her. "Super assassins? That's what you're calling them now?" Natasha asks him.
"Well they were injected with some serum that made them...well, kind of super." Steve replies. "Still and technically, they did come at me all at once." Natasha tells him. Natasha looks out of the air duct and sees the room that they were in and crawls out the duct. "Did you tell everyone to get out?" Natasha asks him.
"Yeah, they're probably waiting for us." Steve says. "Let's go outside and have a group come in take the girls with out hurting them." Natasha says. "Sounds like a plan" Steve replies. "Let's also tell them to get all that clear liquid stuff so they can analyze it in the lab." Natasha adds on. "It's all part of the plan." Steve replies.
They go upstairs and walk outside. "Why does Russia have to be so cold?" Steve says. "I don't know, because it's winter." Natasha answers. An agent comes up to them, "Agent Romanoff and Captain Rogers, we were started to worry about you two." The Agent says.
"Did you find anything?"
"Yeah, the elevator leaded to a lab, it was empty but when we went in another room in the lab there was a whole bunch of little girl that had tubes in them and their was this sort of serum being pumped into them, we got out because they woke up and started to attack us. There was more rooms." Steve answers. "Do you want a team to go in there and get them?" The agent asks.
"Yeah but be careful, don't hurt them." Steve answers. "That doesn't seem like a problem, I'll have a team go in, tranquilize them and have another helicarrier come and take them." The agent says.
"It kind of is a problem, there's a lot of them and they blocked the entrance to the room, I'd suggest that you use the air ducts. It's more unnoticeable or knock down the gate.
By the way it's a huge room with a green light that feels up the room and the room is also filled with a lot of little girls and there will be more who are probably in other rooms, so bring lots of tranquilizers." Natasha tells the Agent. "I'll just lead the way Natasha." Steve tells her.
"Actually, Fury needs you two back at Shield, don't worry. We'll find them, without hurting them and bring them back to Shield." The Agent tells him.
Natasha smirked, "Well, let's go Steve.
They have everything covered so we can go now. Oh and by the way, when you have everything you need and you checked the building...burn this place to the ground, do something to it. Our mission was to shut this place down and that's exactly what we're going to do." Natasha tells him.
"Sure." The Agent replies.
Natasha and Steve got on a helicarrier and headed back to Shield where they met with Fury in his office. "So, what do we do now?" Natasha asks Fury.
"It may seem like your mission is over but it's see, we interrogated Yelena and Alexei and apparently they were planning on creating super assassins.
You're probably asking how, they somehow managed recreate the same serum that was put into Steve with help of people with special medical knowledge." Fury tells them.
"The liquid." Steve said to himself. "What is it, Steve" Natasha asks. "You were right Natasha." Steve answers.
"What was she right about?" Fury asked. "When we were in one of labs. We saw needles filled with some sort of clear liquid, Natasha had made a guess that it was some sort of serum." Steve answers. "Steve, you were also right you did say that they seemed pretty abnormal." Natasha says. "They also told me that they put some sort chip in their brains, said it would make the girls cooperate with their plan a little better if they could control the girls to do what they needed them to do." Fury tells them.
"Why would they tell you everything?" Steve asks him. "Because even if i knew what the were doing it would be no use to me because...i wouldn't be able to stop the things that are about to happen next. I don't know how to stop an army of cbip controlled super assassins. That's where you two come in, i need you two to assemble the rest of the Avengers to stop them." Fury tells them. "We left Agents in Russia." Natasha asks him. "What Agents, the Agents i sent to Russia were the ones that took Yelena and Alexei and the ones to get you two." Fury tells them. "It was a cover up, those people pretended to be Agents of Shield. That means that if they're not working for us...they're working with Yelena and Alexei." Natasha says.
"Looks like we're Assembling the rest of The Avengers." Steve says.
This is the moment that defied who Natasha was, an Agent of Shield and an Avenger, she knew who she was. She wasn't in Love Love she just had friend that she loved to have around. "It wouldn't hurt to bring Wanda, Sam, and Vision along." Natasha tells him. "First Aliens, then robots, now deadly super assassins." Steve says. "It's settled then, let's go Assemble the Avengers."
