Everyone has been on their toes since the threats from Red Skull and the R.R came. Even Brianne seemed more jumpy than usual. And THATS saying something.

NO one is home anymore. Everyone is out on missions. It's mostly just Sandy, Pepper, Brianne, Ryan and I here and its gotten boring real fast. I learned that Stark has an indoor pool which has become of great help trying to keep Sandy and Brianne busy. Those two get bored too easily, unless food is involved then they are occupied for a while until they run out and end up hunting for more. Its like they have endless stomachs gawd.

Its scary ya know? Having potential threats directed at your parents. I don't think they know we exist yet and I have a feeling that it would be much worse for us if they knew.

On the brighter side it seemed as though Pepper and Sandy were bonding. Brianne and Pepper even more so about the details for the wedding. Sandy was now trained for missions. Her call name Split Fox. Don't ask. I'm not even sure anymore.

MY paranoia had left for a short while but then it ca,me back after the threats were made. If you had heard before my paranoia hasn't failed me before so it shouldn't now.

I sat on the couch watching Tangled with my Mom, Dad, Bri, and Sandy. Pepper was out at a meeting. Tony and Clint where out on a mission and Thor was back in Asguard. Banner was doing science stuff

I heard the phone ring and my mother answered. She was silent for a few moments before jumping out of her seat. It startled Bri causing her to chuck the popcorn bowl in the air, making popcorn fly everywhere and the bowl to promptly land on Steve's head.

I snorted out in laughter as he grimaced while covered in butter and popcorn kernels. He took the bowl off his head and glared at his other daughter. She glanced back at him apologetically.

"Sorry, I'm just a little...jumpy." She whimpered. He shook some butter off his hand. "We can tell." He scoffed.

MY mother mutter something in Russian that sounded like 'All of us? Fine. bye." She ended the call and we looked at her expectantly. "Stark and Barton need help. They are in Hawaii right now and they've found a base located on one of the lesser islands. We need to help them out." She said putting her phone in her pocket.

"Take us with you!" I begged. She looked up at me. "Good. You didn't have a choice either way. You are required to come. As are Sandy and Brianne." She said pointedly.

"First Mission! Woo!" Sandy said and pumped her fist in the air. Brianne looked a little nervous, and I kind of felt bad for her.

"Suit up."

We flew over the endless stretch of water that was the Pacific Ocean. I played cards with Sandy and my father and Brianne looked mindlessly out the window, or she was deeply thinking, it was a twin thing. Nat flew the plane and had a watchful eye.

"Almost there. I can see the Island now. Get ready to jump." Nat ordered handing over the controls to the co-pilot. I stretched my shoulders with my father as Sandy and Brianne strapped on Parachutes.

"You're not gonna you a parachute are you?" Sandy asked. I shook my head, my french braid swinging around. "I Find this more exhilarating and dangerous. "

"What are you dauntless?" Brianne asked over the wind. The hatch opened. "That's what they tell me." I said and jumped out of the quinjet. I felt the warm humid air wash over me as I free fell down down down until I landed on the top of palm tree, from which there I slid down until I landed on someone.

"Hi Birdie!" I said playfully as I got off of Clint. He mumbled and got up cracking his back.

The others joined us and we started off walking closer and closer to the heart of the island. "So where's my father?" Sandy asked. "Flying around the perimeter of the island. Making sure there isn't any potential threats. He should be here soon though." Clint explained his eyes focused firmly on the path ahead.

"So how did you find the base?" Bri asked looking around at the thick vegetation.

"My old partner Mockingbird helped out." He said. I raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "Who's Mockingbird?" Sandy asked. He drew in a short breath before muttering something inaudible.

Brianne smiled apparently having heard what he said. "Come again?" I said sweetly. He coughed and muttered it again. "Didn't quite catch that." I said in a sing-song voice.

"She is my girlfriend." He said finally.

My nose twitched and my lips curled up into a cheeky smile. "You-you have a girlfriend? You-you have a life?" I asked in fake disbelief. I could hear my mother almost shaking in laughter at my comment.

"Come now Anna be nice." Steve scolded. "I'm sorry." I still shook in laughter. I stifled one or two giggles but we all know how that goes.

"Brianne you are officially my new favorite." Clint called from up front. "Aww Katniss Im hurt." I fake pouted. He rolled his eyes at me. I smiled. It was fun to push his buttons.

He started to get all master assassin now and it got unnaturally quiet. We all went into hyper-ninja mode and stalked around the base. We met up again in a tree hidden well.

"Ok the base is fairly big but what I'm realizing is that this is not R.R Clint." Nat said. He nodded and sighed. "Its Hydra. They are working with Red Room. Its heavily guarded, but we need to get inside and get the info we need or else we have a small chance of defeating them." He finished.

I nodded as did everyone else. "Well what's the plan?" I asked. "We would need a diversion to get the guards attention so Nat, Clint and Bri could sneak past. They are the sneakiest they get the info and get out. Anna I need you and Sandy to keep close to them make sure they get the info. Banner, Thor, Ryan and I will help with the diversion. Stark's got the perimeter. Got it?" Cap ordered.

I saluted him and the others just gave off nods and 'yeahs' and 'sure'.

This was going to be fun.

BRIANNE'S POV

I was scared out of my mind right now. I've had my training, sure. I know how to hurt a person, ok. Sneaking around and stealing info for the greater good? fine. But what they don't understand is that I can't kill.

I have a good heart. My parents may be a soldier and a spy but this was something else. They have no shortage of enemies, its not a secret. But I have a very bad feeling that something will happen here.

I'm not worrying for my own safety but for the safety of the ones I care about. I followed my mother and Clint through the tropical jungle, the thick undergrowth made it easy to blend in.

Once I saw the base my breathing hitched. Guards swarmed the place and jeeps and cargo seemed to come and go. It looked about three stories high with steel walls and fiber glass windows.

There was a big Hydra insignia on the left wall and a Red Room on the right. It looked menacing.

"Brianne are you ready?" My mother asked. I drew in a shaky breath and nodded. "As I'll ever be." I whispered. There was a series of loud explosions and shouts of the Hydra and RR guards.

"Go!" My mother shouted. We sprinted inside the facility without much of a problem since the diversion. There were so many twists and turns and hiding that we had to do.

I even got to witness Clint shoot an arrow through a guy's skull.

We entered a large lab with smashed vials and computers and scattered paper everywhere. "Try to find any files that could be useful." Nat ordered and I left to search the scattered paper.

I picked up file after file nothing seemed to be of any use. Then I noticed a file of the table. I opened it and I gasped. "Mom! I've found something!" I told her through my earpiece.

I ran over to her and showed her the file. She lit up. "This is just what we need. G-" Nat was cut off by Clint.

"Do you hear that?" He asked. I listened in silence for a moment. "I don't hear anything." I pointed out. He had fear in his eyes. "Exactly."

"Legolas! Natashalie! Breezy! Get the hell out of there. NOW!" I heard Stark's voice from the intercom.

We started to run but soon we were surrounded.

Shit.

Agents surrounded us on all sides and I knew we were in deep shit. Then as if on a single command, all hell broke lose. I could see bullets flying everywhere as were kicks and punches. Bodies dropped everywhere.

Talk about being scared shitless. One guy came up behind me and he lightly jabbed me in the shoulder as if trying to figure out if I would fight back or not. Out of reflex I lashed my arm out feeling his law connect with my fist.

I ducked under his sweeping leg just in time for a near miss collision with my skull. I whipped around and side-kicked him hard in the ribs. WHile he held his chest I took the opportunity to knee him where it hurts the most. He bowled over and I elbowed him on the back of the neck. He dropped like a stone.

I felt my airways close as an agent tried to choke me from behind. I gasped and writhed around in the man's grip. I was losing oxygen fast. I felt his hands release me and I dropped to the ground taking in deep gulps of air.

I shakily looked up to see my sister extending a hand out to me. I gratefully took it and I stood up. "We always seemed to get choked don't we?" I asked her. She smiled. "We take their breath away so in turn they wanted to take ours."

I chuckled before expertly dodging a kick from the person behind me. I grabbed his wrist and twisted it. He howled out in pain as Anna brought the final blow. Reinforcements had shown up and we weren't doing too hot.

Everyone was exhausted. Blood was spilling, gushing everywhere and it lathered the floor with each step you took. I heard a loud growl and I saw the hulk going mad. Our father was throwing his shield, hitting about five people knocking them unconscious before his sacred weapon returned to him.

A loud crackle of lightning was audible as Thor unleashed Mjolnir on anyone that was unlucky enough to be in striking distance.

There seemed to be and endless flow of agents coming in at all angles and corners of the building.

I saw two agents running towards me on either side. Thankfully with my special abilities I was able to jump high enough for them to run into each other knocking both unconscious. I smiled.

I heard multiple gunshots and bullets whisked past me. I turned around frightened but before they could fire another shot a silver whip lashed out hitting their hands and making them drop their weapons.

I smiled at my sister. I saw my mother take a fierce hit and she dropped on her stomach. I ran over to help her but three men blocked my path. With built up determination and rage I weaved through them kicking them in the balls, then when they doubled over I struck them in the back of the neck with enough force to paralyze them.

I grabbed two pistols off the ground ignoring the blood seeping between my fingers and shot at whatever agents were unlucky enough to get in my line of fire. I was able to make my way through the battle and to my mother.

She groaned and opened her eyes at me. I smiled. "Come on get up. We can't give up now." I said to her. A look of determination shone in her eyes and she shakily got up. I stood there for a second before she glared at me. That was my Que to leave.

I jumped in next to Sandy and we stood back to back fighting off any agents that dare come close. "Who knew that 6 years ago we'd be fighting a force that is trying to kill all humanity?" I shouted over the noise.

Sandy scoffed. "To your right!" I shouted and she nailed a man in the head with a bullet. "And that our parents are part of an elite government force that was suppose to be gone? I sure as hell didn't!" She shot back.

I ran off into the middle again once Sandy could handle herself. I felt a sharp pain in my left thigh. I turned to see a blade sticking out of my leg. I took a deep breath and pulled the blade out. A rush of blood followed. I winced, but now was not the time to worry over small injuries like this.

I grasped the blade in my hand and threw it. I heard a shriek of pain and I cringed. I took in my surroundings and I noticed a pipe above me. I jumped up and grabbed it swinging myself around until I was perched atop it.

The battle looked like it was dieing down a bit but not by much. Dead bodies littered the ground and blood stained the cobblestone floor. Sandy and my sister worked together as did my mother and father. Ryan and Clint worked back to back and Tony and hulk were just doing their own thing.

I felt a light sting in my left arm and I plucked it out. It was a tranquilizer dart. Then The world started spinning around me. I slipped from my perch and fell like 15 feet to the ground below.

"Mom! Dad!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. "Brianne! No!" I heard my mother shout. All I could feel was myself falling. I felt someone catch me and I heard gunshots. The person had a tight grip on me as my vision faded. I was weak but I knew this was the enemy. All I could remember was his face. Red. The color of blood. The kind my mother has been trying to wipe off her ledger for centuries it seemed like.

The sounds started to muffle as I strained to keep my eyes open. Then there was blackness.

ANNA'S POV

I watched my sister fall from the pipe that was fifteen feet from the ground. "Mom! Dad!" She yelled. I could tell she was getting weaker. Hold on sister, I'm coming. We'll help you.

Rage filled my gaze and determination filled my heart. I fought with more fury to get past the guards, agents or whatever. No one hurts my sister and gets away with it. NO ONE.

My parents were doing the same. The rest of the team was trying to keep them at bay.

A flash of red whipped by us and grabbed Brianne out of the air. She was barely on the verge on consciousness and it was dangerous for her. I saw my father's expression tighten as he glared at the man.

I took a sharp intake of breath as I looked at the man who held my dizzy sister in his arms. His face was unlike anything I had seen before. Red. Unnaturally red.

"Give her back now!" My father yelled. Pain strained his voice. I could feel my mother faltering beside me. She has a very good poker face. The red-faced man looked at her and smiled wickedly.

"She's mine now. Next time you see her which you won't. She will be our next soldier. Heck she might even make a good side kick to a old friend of yours, Captain. What was his name again? Oh yes. The Winter soldier." He said cheekily.

I started breathing rapidly. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY SISTER YOU CRAZY FUCK! IF YOU HURT HER IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM YOU WILL FEEL MY WRATH!" I screamed at him.

I meant every word I said. In this messed up world or in any world. I swear my sister was one of the only good things it had to offer. She was my twin sister and I'd die before anything would happen to her. Heck I think any of us would. She was the light in our lives. She was something else, something magical.

"Empty threats. If you'll excuse me, I have to see to our preparations. We have a world to take over you know." He laughed and disappeared without a trace.

He laughed. He fucking laughed.

I could practically feel myself seething. I looked at the ground and tears filled my eyes. My light was gone. My sister taken in front of my own eyes. We couldn't do anything to stop it.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. Tears spilled freely now. Large arms wrapped around me engulfing me in warmth. I couldn't move. My muscles were stiff, not from exhaustion but from grief.

"W-we should get back." I said shakily. They seemed surprised that I had spoken. We silently walked back to the sandy beach where a large quinjet had come to pick us up.

Instead of going back home to Stark Towers we boarded the helicarrier.

Boots clacking was what all could be heard as we walked in grief through the metallic halls. I kept my head down, the tears haven't stopped since they started. I don't think they will anytime soon.

We entered the bridge and I had to swallow back a sob. Sandy, Nat and Steve hadn't left my side since our departure. I saw Director Fury and Maria Hill approaching us.

"The mission was a success." Fury said as he came up to us. "Not completely." I seethed venom spiking my voice. "What happened?" Hill asked glancing at all of us. I clenched my fists and I looked them straight in the eyes.

"You shouldn't have done that..." Sandy muttered to them. I laughed hatred spewing out of my vocal box. I looked up at the ceiling and tears filled my eyes even more. "What happened? WHAT HAPPENED?! MY TWIN SISTER WAS TAKEN AND DRUGGED BY RED SKULL AND THEY WOULD DO WHO KNOWS WHAT TO HER IN ONLY A MATTER OF DAYS! THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. AND I'M OVER HERE GAUGING MY EYES OUT BECAUSE WE COULDN'T DO A DAMN THING ABOUT IT!" I screamed at them before turning tail and walking away.

I ran through the halls and to my makeshift room. I slammed the door shut. I leaned against the door and slid down. I hugged my knees to my chest and cried. I cried and cried and didn't stop. Eventually I was exhausted enough before I stifled a sob and curled up on the carpeted floor trying to forget the day's events.

SANDY'S POV

I watched as my best friends chewed Fury out before turning tail and leaving. Oh boy. I knew her well enough to the point where when she got like this, she was not to be messed with. Kinda like a flame.

Everyone was silent at the tone Anna had used. "Bri was kidnapped? How did that happen?" Fury asked. It was quite funny, as much as Fury seemed to be a bad ass he had a soft spot for Brianne. Like everyone who gets a chance to meet her. It was a gift.

"Someone shot her with a tranquilizer dart. She fell and Red Skull captured her. Said she'd make a good side kick to the winter soldier. He took her and disappeared." I explained half-heartily.

"I'm surprised you're not crying. Wasn't Brianne your best friend?" Maria asked. I sighed and nodded. "She is. Brianne is a very important part of my life yes. She taught me to open your eyes and look at the world around you. When my emotions took hold of me she sat there and listened. I don't see the point in grieving though." I said standing up. I winced slightly at the injuries I received during battle.

"Why not? She was kidnapped. We don't know how long she will be gone." Nat spat. I nodded and shot a apologetic glance at her, knowing she had a special spot for her blue/green eyed daughter.

"That is exactly why. You are all sitting here with mock grief. Guys. She IS NOT dead. She was just kidnapped. She is out there somewhere. I know I'm not gonna just sit on my ass and mourn. I'm going to fight. If I'm the only one so be it. But I know for damn sure I'm not. It's a risk I'm willing to take. Will you?" I asked. They looked at me in shock.

Before slowly clapping. "I'm not looking for recognition or applause. I have the same goal you all do. I just was my best friend back." I said before stalking off to go and start tracking my friend.

I won't let her slip away like last time. Never again.
