"What the hell do you mean Romanoff is missing?!" Fury boomed as he walked into the Tower
"I mean we've searched everywhere and can't find her" Tony sighed
"What the hell happened?" Coulson asked with Hill coming in at his side
"Agent Romanoff knocked me out, dragged me to her room and tied me up" Barbara said innocently
"I know Romanoff and she would never do anything like that." Maria growled
"Well maybe you don't know her well enough" Barbra snapped. Maria was about to have a go at Barbra when Steve pulled her back, wrapping his arms around her waist
"Agent Morse, have care about how you speak about Natasha, she may have her bad past but she is part of two of SHIELDS most important teams, so think next time you open your mouth about her" Coulson snapped at her. Barbara nodded and stepped back.
"Now what happened?" Coulson said a little calmer
"Clint called her monster, yelled at her and left her crying in her room" Jane said, narrowing her eyes at Clint
"Natasha, she wouldn't run off for something like that, she would beat his ass, but not run away" Maria said shaking her head
"JARVIS, pull up surveillance from Agent Romanoff's room" Fury ordered, narrowing his eye at Barton
"Yes Sir" The A.I chimed. They all faced the screen, watching Natasha sitting on her bed crying, then out of no where, a masked figure came through her window, sticking a needle in her neck and dragging her out.
"Oh My God" Pepper said covering her mouth. Then Bruce ran in, looking quite flustered
"Guys, I've identified the drug that was used on Natasha" Bruce rushed
"What is it?" Coulson said
"I don't know, anyone read Russian?" Bruce asked. Fury grabbed the paper off him
"Oh no" Fury whispered
"What does it say?" Thor asked
"It says Widow's Bite" Fury said
"Wait, I remember they talked about it back in the 40s, it was a HYDRA weapon, though we never found out what it does" Steve said
"I've got something, Widow's Bite, it's a hypnosis drug, kind of similar to the effects of Loki's Scepter. You don't even need to give that person direct orders, you could just even put it in their head while their asleep" Jane explained looking through SHIELD files
"Before Nat came to SHIELD, she used to use it in Budapest, Russia, Ukraine, any missions where she would have to seduce a target or get info, you wouldn't believe how much information she's gotten out of dictators, government officials" Clint sighed
"So this is HYDRA?" Bruce asked. Fury nodded
"Avengers, its time to assemble, track down Romanoff and bring her back, alive. Hill you will go with them" Fury ordered "Ms Foster, Miss Potts, look on the tracking system and see what else you can find and look for any active HYDRA agents" They all nodded and went to get ready
"What do you want me to do sir?" Barbra asked
"You've done enough" Fury said coldly before walking out. The Avengers walked out, Steve in his Captain America get up with his Shield, Clint in his Hawkeye clothing, armed with bows, arrows and guns, Tony in his suit, Maria in her SHIELD uniform that was similar to Natasha's but had the SHIELD logo on the belt, armed and ready, Thor in Asguardian armour and his hammer and Bruce ready to get angry.
"Guys, Natasha's tracker says that she's in Russia" Pepper said handing them ear buds "Here are the hearing aids, we'll be giving you directions and any other info"
"How is she in Russia already?" Clint asked
"I don't know, looks like HYDRA are stepping up their game" Jane said shaking her head
"Look please be careful, I don't want you to die because of her" Barbra said to Clint hugging him
"I'll be fine" Clint said pulling away and giving her a false smile.
"Lets go then" Tony said as they all went to roof, going to the quinjet.
Natasha woke up in a dark room, chained to the ceiling. Somehow she was in her SHIELD uniform, though she didn't remember putting it on.
"Where the hell am I?" She muttered to herself as she tried taking off the shackles
"Hello Widow" A dark voice said
"Who are you?" Natasha growled
"Oh no need to get feisty, you will find out in good time" the voice chuckled
Natasha proceeded to curse to herself in Russian "Why am I here?" She asked
"Because there is a certain person who doesn't want you around and well, lets just say we had a little... Agreement" The voice explained. All of a sudden, a muscular man came towards her and hit her in the face, but she laughed
"Really, is that the best you've got?" Natasha asked cockily before head-butting the man unconscious
"Your a very strong girl aren't you? Well its a shame because if this was one of your missions, then your partner would be here to save you but he's not, so no one can hear you scream" A man said coming forward. He had a scar on his cheek and an eye patch on his right eye.
"And who are you supposed to be for Halloween? Nick Fury?" Natasha scoffed
"You don't know who I am? I'm offended" The man said
"Who the hell are you?" Natasha said gritting her teeth
"My name is Dr Pain and I'm the last man you will ever see" He introduced before tasering the assassin unconscious
All Natasha hoped is that her friends would find her soon.
