Femme Fatale
By Raq


Chapter 2

Three days later in another state, in the suburbs of Massachusetts, a lengthy blonde arrived at a shooting range. Ignoring the quick smirks and glances that she was receiving. 'Men or rather should I say Pigs' she quoted to herself and smiled. It was all the more reason she came.

The shooting range just wasn't her style. It not only lack the privacy she liked when shooting, but most of the men treated this place as a place to just boast about who had the 'bigger' gun, and usually it referred to their male genitalia. The place was just down right chauvinistic. Still insisted on coming, it being the only facility that held a long range of targets.

Kindly she walked over to check in and register. Surprised, the man behind the desk grinned and nodded his head as he took note of her firearms. In the bag she had three firearms that were her favorite, a Bushmaster XM15 E2S M4 (snipers rifle), a Sig-227 (FBI issued) and the 3-57 Magnum.

"Miss, do you know how dangerous these weapons are?" asked the man to the small petite woman in front of him. "We do hold classes" handing her a form and a pen.
Deeply the woman should be offended, but instead she smiled, a beautiful conniving smile.

"Oh please" she stopped to look at the badge "Jimmy, how about after your done with your shift why don't you teach me. I'm sure I could use help from a hefty handsome boy as you" smiling and batting her eyes. The mans tongue was in tangles.

"Umm.. sure, I get off in two hours" Handing her, her stall number. "Ill be there to help you so be careful honey.."

"Ill be waiting" Once turned, she rolled her eyes up heavenly. 'Please I can shoot you at 200 yards'.

Again walking to her stall, her gaze held on to many men, who chuckled and already poked fun at her being in the wrong place. She knew that this place was full of men that didn't think she was capable of using such arms. 'We'll will just have to show them'. Slowly she had made way to an area of which was inhabited by the cavemen that felt they were better than her. Quietly she began removing her arms from her bag.

Situated, she assembled her snipers rifle setting the lenses correctly. Under complete scrutiny from her neighboring stalls, she can feel the mass of stares including the attendant himself. With passing moments she began to shoot her arms. First with her Magnum being her practice arms, she shot with ease and little effort. The men around her watch as they were surprised how accurate her shots were, perfect.

Comments such as beginners luck or lady luck were said, but little did they know that she was trained to use a multitude of different firearms, arms in which they have not even heard of. A crowd now began to gather as she prepared to shoot her final piece, her sniper. She requested her target being 1.5 miles far. The other attendant nodded his head, and did as he was told. Around her they gathered. "oh yeah she's setting herself for embarrassment" she smiled.

Only a few made their shots that far, they laughed as she concentrated. The ability to work in such high tense situations, the laughter and the retorts never fazed her. She was quite calm and very still to her target.

In the meantime two men in military uniform made their presence known. "Excuse me Sir," said one of the men. "Have you seen a woman with long blond hair?"

"Yes she's over..." said the man before getting interrupted.

"No need to ask Brian," he said turning to the group of men gathered around a beautiful woman concentrating on her target. "She's right there, as usual attracting men," smiling, him and his colleague made their way.

"Her name does suits her," said the other.

"You know that girl?" asked the attendant.

"Yes."

"Who is she?"

"She's Colonel Serena Tsukino" said Brian

"Colonel?" blushing as he thought of how horribly chauvinistic.

Serena focused on her target and remained still, she breath once more then pulled the trigger once then another followed. Putting her rifle down she waited for her target to arrive and to the other attendants surprised she hit the target perfectly. The men around her were overwhelmingly amazed at the woman. Being turned on by a beautiful woman that knew how to tame her arms well. Now as Serena turned down her arms, all the men could think about was how she can tame 'there' arms any day.

"Congratulations Colonel," said Brian getting the attention of Serena and others around.

"Hello Lt. Jensen and Lt. Raynard, what bids your visit?" Both Men saluted.

"Good job as usual Colonel," Brian taking the target from the attendees hands.

"How is your vacation?"

"Never long enough until you guys hunt me down," she laughed as she started to put her items away.

"Well, I'm afraid we're not here on a social call."

"I figured that," Serena squinted from the sun.

"We have orders to bring you back to the Pentagon in the flesh."

"In the flesh, may I ask what for?"

"An assignment."

"Why couldn't they call one of the other girls?" she asked zipping up her bag.

"Because they specifically ordered that you are to do this task."

"What is it?"

"I'm afraid that's all we know, the rest should be explained to you at your briefing," Dave took Serena's bag and followed her.

"All right, but you realized this just means that I will ask for more vacation time since you guys keep interrupting," she smiled largely. As they were walking towards the entrance Serena notices the attendant looking down with embarrassment. "Don't underestimate any woman, her bite could be deadly," she grinned leaving the man speechless.

"Good morning Colonel," many busy bodies in the hallway had stopped to greet, the beautiful woman they've come to know as Vixen.

"Good morning," she responded with a large bright smile. Many stare at her beauty and lust over this high ranking officer.. Serena's hair was held up in an upraised twist with a little spider clip finishing the hold, her swan like neck clearly seen. Her make-up was simple and sweet, lips tinged with a little gloss. Eyes that need no cover, for they fill with life at the bluest of depths.
Cheeks so perfectly rosy it need no blush to keep the natural color from staying. Wearing the traditional Black Widow uniform, she was indeed a sight for lusting. The tailored suit hugged her hour glass shape, the top slender and sleek to her figure. Long sleeves with two red stripes that told her ranking fashioned her wrist. A deep cleavage can be seen with her neck line of low and v shape revealing her very full bust line. Her short but professional skirt adorned her hips nicely. Being five inches above her knees, it clearly exposes her very well defined upper limbs. Creamy and vigorously full, many men stare at her assured stride. Her merits and rankings decorated her uniform well. Many colors of merits have been awarded, from sharp shooter, medal of honor and so fort but only two really meant honor to her. Located on her left front breast area the US eagle insignia of her Colonel ranking, on the other, the exact replica of the black widow spider. Entering familiar doors she made herself known to the secretary.

"Good morning Colonel," said the woman

"Good morning Macy."

"Miss. Meiou has been waiting for you, this way please." Serena followed the assistant to many hallways with many doors. Most were dark and quiet with the exception if Miss Meiou office. Macy knocked on the door firmly as an enter was heard. Opening the door, Macy gave her introductions.

"Miss. Meiou, Colonel Tsukino is here," she announced as Serena entered.

"Thank you Macy, that will be all". As Serena stood she recognized few other figures in the room.

"Good morning Colonel Tsukino," said Haruka and Michiru.

"Well I didn't expect you guys to be here," Serena came within inches of Haruka and Michiru, giving them small hugs.

"SURPRISE!!" said Setsuna.

"SO how have you been Serena?" asked Michiru as they all sat.

"I've been good, with the exception of my interrupted vacation," laughed
Serena. "Although you know after this mission I will ask to be compensated for that."

"Of course....of course..." smiled Haruka.

"How's your mother?"

"Other than her sickness, she's alright," said Serena sadly.

"Is she still cooking up a feast" smiled Setsuna lightly to break the sadden barrier.

"As always, I think I gain a couple of pounds being back home," said Serena brightly.

"Oh I don't know about that."

"So, what's with this special assignment?" asked Serena curiously.

"I'm afraid it isn't your favorite kind of job," Setsuna pass on a folder with detailed information.

"Oh...". Taking the folder, Serena quickly opened the documents to the first page. A picture of a handsome man was focused in the middle, his name his age his occupation was clearly stated.

"I guess this is going to be a baby sitting job?" she asked politely as she stared at the photo.

"Well not just an ordinary baby sitting job," Haruka offered.

"How so?" lifting her head to her officers, she was curious. Babysitting was babysitting, it didn't matter if was the presidents daughter.

"Well, your duty is to keep this man from any harm."

"While you are undercover," added Michiru.

"Undercover? WHY?"

"Because our subject does not like body guards, he's had bad experiences with them."

"SO to him their worthless."

"Just how do you suppose I will be able to stick to him like glue without noticing? Or do I detect a plan already?" said Serena.

"A plan... Why of course..." smiled Haruka.

"Why do I have the feeling that the three of you," she stated looking all of them, "requested for this to be my assignment?"

"Us.... No!"

"We wouldn't dare disturb your holiday," smiled Setsuna.

"Yeah right and I want to be a movie star!" retorted Serena as the others laughed.

"You will be protecting our most famous and genius scientist from assailants, kidnappers and any others that will make a threat."

"He is of large importance to our country Serena; and, we cannot and I mean cannot afford to have him work for anyone else," said Setsuna.

"Why not ask one of the other girls, they are fully capable of doing such task?" asked Serena.

"Serena we choose you because you highly fit the job," said Michiru.

"We want you, because of your wits and charm, you will easily be able to counteract with him."

"Is their something else," asked Serena, "because all of what you've describe any of my other agents would fit the job."

"Well...." Said Setsuna as she looked at Michiru.

"Well what?" asked Serena

"Most of the girls are already being assigned to other assignments." Haruka quickly added.

"Being the head of the group and the Colonel, you have more experience than any of them. You know how to get your job done, and besides" Setsuna smiled inwardly "Your our protégé"

"That's favoritism" laughing as the words escaped her.

"Serena, there is no other agent more qualified than you,"

"Okay, okay.. no more buttering up, I get it" she laughed again.

During the past hour, Serena was briefed with what she is to do, how to act as his assistant and how to be a good roommate. She was to stay alert at all times of her surroundings and environment, which is no problem to Serena, her capabilities of adaptation to new places was tops. They prepared her of the conversations she will have with him and his intellectual standpoint. Things that Serena could handle well. The time had passed she was instructed to prepare to depart at 0600 (6am) tomorrow morning to leave for Seattle, Washington where her assignment was to begin. She bid her farewell and thanked them all for the confidence they gave. Walking out the door she glanced at one of the pictures on the wall. On the photo was a group of 10 graduates wearing the traditional black suit.

"Of course I'm qualified for this job, I was taught by the best!" Serena smiled.

"First generation Black Widows," came the proud voices.

"Second Generation Widows" Serena's proud followed.

"Its great to know that we left a legacy that still keeps rising to the top," Haruka pretended to be misty eyed.

"We're proud of our younger sisters,"

"Our team will never let the sister hood down," stated Serena. "No job will be un-finish till we succeed."

"And that is why our funding is plenty,"

"How do you think she'll do?" asked Setsuna.

"She's perfect for the assignment," said Haruka. "Her training and everything else she was taught will be of use."
