Everyone was sitting in the big lounge area in the Secret Avengers Facility, including Kylie. The only few that weren't present was Tony and June.
Tony entered swiftly, putting his phone down. "Okay, Kylie said that this power tech is extremely powerful and uses some alien tech too. Run some ideas by me." He made some hand gestures.
"Um, well that much power, it should let out some sort of radiation, or at least something we can track," Bruce thought up.
"We don't have magic trackers though," Peter pointed out. His eyes lit up. "Unless we do!"
Tony shook his head. "We don't. But Shuri's coming here in around 40 minutes for June's check-up, we can work with her to make something."
"Hey, where is June?" Natasha asked, looking around.
"Right here, it's cool guys I'm fine." June awkwardly leaned on the walls, all her clothes ruffled and hair a little frizzy.
. "Oh wow, Adler, you look like a mess, are you sure you're fine?" Bruce asked.
June dazedly waved away the suggestion. "No, just some odd dream vision things, nothing too important. But is this I hear now, major high tech alien weapons loose and could potentially take out this planet?"
Tony frowned. "Take out this planet? No, June this is just some geeks who thought they could outsmart us, it's fine. No planet is going to be taken out." He leaned against the couch.
June blinked a few times. "Oh. Okay, I thought I heard...never mind," she stepped forward. "Um, oh hello new girl,"
Kylie smiled. "Yea, hi my name is Kylie."
June smiled back and there were a few awkward seconds before she replied. "Sorry to hear that it was your father who invented the major high tech alien weapons that could not potentially take out the planet. Young childhood trauma caused by one's mother's death,"
Kylie's muscles tensed but June seemed lost in her own words as she kept talking. "Combined with your abusive father with the alcohol and the harsh living conditions, I mean that is truly horrible, you haven't had any chaotic tendencies but you seem to have handled it pretty well, the bow and arrows are nice, inventive, you're smart, but how smart?
"Not enough to have memorized the blueprints you caught a look of to realize that they were gonna kill Stark but then again, it's not much about one's intelligence but of how accurate your photographic memory is but I have quite a high level of photographic memory and you have that memory that means I can read your memory and that means we can have the blueprints of at least one weapon,
"But most weapons of such high potential destruction normally have an 'off' switch built in by the inventors, and normally the inventors put in similar 'off' switch in every other weapon they've built because of the lack of creativity."
June paused and glanced up at the Avenger's confused faces.
"Wait but couldn't we just blow up the weapons?" Steve asked.
June faltered. "What? No because of the alien tech. It'd be a lot harder to destroy with an explosion. In fact, the weapon itself would create an explosion and still be deadly to this planet."
"Why do you keep talking about the planet's destruction?" Tony exclaimed.
June blinked. "I don't know. I'm still very confused about last night?"
"Nothing happened last night." Natasha pointed out.
June nodded slightly. "Yes. I meant last night." she turned around but turned back to face them.
"When's Shuri coming?" she plainly asked.
"In half an hour?" Tony answered.
"Cool thanks." she walked forward, bumping into a wall before turning left into the staircase.
Kylie frowned.
Tony sighed. "Sorry Kylie, she's not normally like that. We've just found out she's had an odd, unknown past and her memories are a little odd. Just ignore that part."
Steve stood up. "Well, until Shuri gets here, let's chill."
...SceneChange...
Everyone was still in the big lounge but they were spread out, doing their own thing.
Steve and Natasha were sitting on the opposites on the couch, talking about infiltration tactics. June walked up to them and sat down next to Natasha.
"What's up, you seemed a little weird back there." Natasha wondered.
June clenched her clipboard. "I'm not sure. I just need to let off some steam, Shuri's gonna be here in 20 minutes I need to be back to normal till then."
Before either of them could answer Tony sat down next to Steve.
"Hey June, I was talking to Fury earlier and he accidentally mentioned a secret you have, what might that be? He shut up after I asked him about it."
Steve opened his mouth to tell Tony to shut up himself but June stopped him. "It's really nothing Tony. It was back before a bit after I was found unconscious on the experiment table in the abandoned hospital Hydra caught me in. He was talking about something and then I attacked him. I'm not sure why myself but he's sure that I know why. I don't."
Tony nodded slowly before leaning in slightly. "Okay...but seriously, what's up with Barnes? He's the only one of us that you haven't spoken to? Is there a reason?"
This time Natasha was about to speak but June began talking first. "Tony, I don't know."
"Wow, okay no need to be harsh. It's just Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes, a friendly assassin there really nothing to be afraid of-"
June slammed her clipboard onto the coffee table. "Shut up!" she hissed as she took out her switchblade and held it to Tony's throat within seconds.
. Steve and Natasha stood up. "Whoa whoa, June clam down,"
"Sorry, June, I didn't know he was your weak point," Tony exclaimed. Her face twitched as her eyes flickered.
She dropped her knife and stepped back. "Oh my god." Her hair fell down in front of her face as she stared into the ground.
Natasha stepped towards here slowly. "June it's alright, Tony can be a bit annoying sometimes, even I want to slit his throat at times."
June stepped away from the couch set. "No stay back." she held her hands to her head. "Ugh the sound, it's ringing endlessly, where on earth it is ringing from!?" she screamed as she dropped to the ground.
Bucky, who was nearby walked slowly towards her. "Ringing?" he muttered. June tried to cover her ears.
"Bucky maybe don't-" Steve called. He was cut off by a purple blast. Steve smashed into the glass wall behind him.
June was on the ground, her arm out towards Steve. "Steve..." she stood up warily and stepped forward towards him.
Natasha stopped her. "Don't June, not now, you're clearly unstable."
June shook her head. "No wait," she muttered with a strain on her voice. "Steve Rogers. You were always important to him, I'm not the one who can fix you...he can..." she stumbled. "Go find Steve Rogers."
Natasha frowned. "What...?" She glanced at her. Her eyes were misty purple, not the dull drown they normally were.
June coughed. "You seem...to know The Winter Soldiers...Activation words pretty well." June turned around to face the others. "Now..you're going to get your own..." she croaked, "They will be...James...Buchanan...Bucky-" she collapsed onto the ground.
Steve stood up, clutching his shoulder. Natasha took a deep breath.
June moved the hair from her face and glanced into Bucky's eyes. "Barnes. Kill Barnes," she whispered as her fingers wrapped around the switchblade she dropped earlier.
Chapter 10
Clint walked into the room. June was strapped to the hospital bed. He had only met her once before and that was through a laptop.
"Fill me in," he asked.
Natasha crossed her arms. "Well, she'd been off all day, and then Tony and Kylie arrived with the news of the weapons and Kylie's father. She comes down, acts all weird, then while we were waiting for Shuri, Tony was being himself, stupid and it triggered June somehow and she began to attack Bucky.
"It took a while for us to take her down, she was pretty good at fighting. Definitely could've taken us two down." Natasha passed him a tablet. "This is the security footage of the whole thing." Clint watched it. Natasha continued to talk. "When she starts to speak after she blasts Cap, she doesn't seem herself, as if she was reciting her memories. At least that's what we think."
Clint raised his eyebrows, impressed by the fight. "Was anyone hurt?"
Natasha nodded. "Uh, yea, Bucky got pretty bruise up, Steve's shoulder was sprained and I hit my elbowed really hard."
"How's Bucky? He would be quite shaken up right?" Clint asked, placing the tablet on the table.
Natasha pursed her lips. "Yeah. He took most of her hits, she seemed pretty determined to kill him." She glanced at June. Her fingers began to twitch. "Oh she's waking up, I'd better call the others."
...SceneChange...
The Avengers filled up the room as June arose.
"Hey, how you doing?" Steve gently asked June.
She squinted at everyone. "Oh." she collapsed back onto the bed.
Tony stepped forward. "Look, I'm sorry about before. I shouldn't have asked personal questions when I knew you were having trouble. That was a jerk move." He looked at her with pain in his eyes.
June titled her head towards him. "It's okay. You're not...it's okay. Tony," she held out her hand. "I'm sorry but I found this." He frowned but took her hand. A thin purple mist began to rise as June's eyes began to glow.
Bucky's soft brown eyes stared deep into June's. "Here, to keep you safe." he passed her the switchblade.
June took it but closed her eyes. "Bucky, I think they did something to me, I think..." she opened her eyes, that were now glowing. "They don't know they did it."
Bucky held her hand. "We'll figure it out."
The scene transitioned, a wave of despair washed over Tony.
"Don't!"
Many soldiers were running and surrounding the facility. June spied the Hydra's Captain's bag on the desk. She leaned against the wall, putting some contacts. It made her eyes stand out a purple color.
June took a deep breath before she stepped around the corner and into the room. "Sir," she said clearly.
The Hydra Captain frowned. "Miss Adler, you have been activated." he seemed surprised but they needed the help. "Go down to the 3rd floor, we need back up there.
June smiled. "Sure thing Sir," she flipped out the switchblade and spun around as she stabbed the captain in the chest. The 5 other soldiers in the room put their guns on her. She immediately threw the blade towards one of the soldiers while she knocked over the desk, blocking an array of bullets.
She slid around the fallen desk and grabbed the bag. She quickly checked that the red book was inside. It was. She spun the table around, knocking one of the soldiers down. She jumped onto a window sill and held the top rim of the window and kicked the other soldiers. She then grabbed the curtain pole and lifted herself up as she wrapped her legs around the fourth soldier, and slammed her palms into his head, purple mist arising.
The soldier collapsed and she rolled over to the last soldier. She took out the switchblade that she had thrown earlier out of the wall that had been hoisting up the second soldier she'd taken down.
The last one quickly refilled his ammo and began blasting the bullets at her, but she jumped, using the wall as a boost and did a flip, grabbing the soldiers shoulders with her hands upside down and hinged her legs onto the dangling light from the roof, giving her a few extra seconds in the air for her to grasp the soldiers neck.
As she squeezed it, the familiar purple mist appeared, causing for the veins in the soldier's neck glow purple before he fell onto the ground, dead. June landed on the ground swiftly as she threw her blade once more, at the door guard which had just taken down the locked door.
"24 seconds," She smiled as she left the room, looking at her watch.
Tony gasped as stepped back. June was sitting up on the hospital bed. "That's so cool!" Shuri exclaimed, examining June again. She glanced at Tony, who was pale white. "But not cool. Um, so June, your brain's activity seems to be perfectly normal but of course, it's not. Your memory...problems don't seem to be like Bucky's, they seem to be connected to your powers, so that's a new area for me, I haven't encountered anything like it."
June groaned as she sat up and began unplugging the wires and such connected to her. "Well, it's fine for now. The bigger problem is that Kylie's father is on the loose with powerful weapons."
Steve frowned and stepped forward. "No, the main issue right now is that you have activation words, ordering you to kill Bucky."
June waved it off. "Well, just don't say his full name and I won't become a killing machine."
Steve ignored her and faced Shuri. "Do you think you can ease off the words affect as you did with Bucky's?"
Shuri shook her head. "As I said, Hydra was smart, they linked all mental alterations on her to her powers, which are almost untouchable since she is the only one of her kind. I'll some research and see what I can do later. But right now I'll search for the weapons."
"How long till we need to go?" Bruce asked.
"An hour minimum. Maybe less." Shuri answered.
"Okay guys, gear up, Kylie you'll come with us, maybe you can talk to your father," Tony ordered.
As everyone began to clear out, Clint walked over to Kylie. "I saw that home-made bow and arrows out there. You good as shooting the arrow as you are making it?" he asked.
Kylie gaped at Clint. "Um, I think so Hawkeye sir, I mean Mr. Barton."
Clint smirked. "Okay, meet you in the training room in five, I give you some quick tips."
