Project Lupa chronicles The Pack vs the Red Room C4

"No!" Natasha shouted trying to stop her but Yelena only smiled at her. Before she destroyed one of the engines of Dreykov's escape jet. The force of the explosion sent Yelena flying off the fortress then she was just falling. Natasha did not hesitate she jumped after her, she managed to grab a parachute though and as she fell she managed to grab hold of Yelena placing the parachute on her. Antonia had made it out and was coming towards them, she pushed Yelena away and got ready to fight Antonia. Fighting while falling from hundreds of feet in the air was something surreal. An experience she did not want to repeat again. She managed to get a few punches in but the ground was getting closer. The only thing was Natasha's fall was slowing down, it was as if the air itself was bracing itself to protect her. Natasha looked around trying to find Alex but couldn't see her but her attention was brought back to Antonia as they both landed on the ground surprisingly neither one was killed.

'Was that you?' Natasha asked Alex

'Falling from that height without a parachute are you trying to kill yourself?' Alex retorted

'I had a parachute.' Natasha replied

'That you gave to your sister.' Alex retorted 'Focus, she's coming.' Alex added seeming Antonia was making her way towards her.

'Help Yelena!' Natasha instructed Alex as she once again started fighting.

'Give me a second, I am stopping us from being crushed.' Alex informed her at this Natasha wanted to look around for Alex but was kept busy keeping Antonia from killing her. She managed to break a vial of the antidote stopping Antonia in her tracks, she stopped then fell down to the ground.

'Alex?' Natasha asked looking around trying to find her pack mate.

'We have a problem.' Alex told her

'Where are you?' Natasha asked as gunfire was heard 'is that you?' she asked

'I am with Yelena, we are being shot at and we don't have an angle on the shooter. There are three of them.' Alex stated she could sense them, Yelena was still stuck in her parachute and was looking at her. "Stay here." Alex told her picking up a stone from the ground she threw it up in the air, several seconds later the shooting stopped before she moved out. She crept up on one of the gunmen yanking the gun out of his hand she then used his knife and sliced his throat as he tried attacking her. She didn't stop moving though as the body hit the ground she was already on the way to the last gunman. He was a fighter, he knew how to handle himself and had she not used her powers he might have even given her a challenge. He did not stand a chance against her, he fired his gun at her but the bullets never reached her and this had him frozen as he stared at her for all of three seconds before he discarded his gun and went to attack her hand on hand. He was fast and strong but Alex knew how to protect herself.

"Come on!" he shouted at her holding a knife in one hand at this Alex simply stared at him before twisting her hand in a motion as she manipulated the air around him twisting his body in a way as a cracking sound was heard he fell to the ground dead. She made her way back to Yelena and Natasha who had moved to her and helped her get free from the parachute. Both were sitting on the ground Yelena looked up as Alex approached them.

"What exactly are your powers?" Yelena asked she wanted to know how she kept appearing. Natasha moved over to Alex though with a small frown, she touched her chin and looked at her face noting the blood.

"What happened?" Natasha asked 'There is blood.' She added over the link at this Alex took a step back and wiped her nose.

"Lucky punch." Alex replied but Natasha instantly knew that was a lie, "That's a lie." Alex blurted out, remembering that she and Skye both had a command from Maria not to lie to them. Alex placed her hand over her mouth in an attempt to stop herself from speaking. The need to answer Natasha however was stronger as her hand fell to her side. "I exerted myself moving that." Alex stated pointing to the fallen fortress. "It was on a collision course so I moved it to the empty fields and slowed it down." She added feeling a need to explain herself she looked down not wanting to meet her gaze.

"You moved that?" Yelena asked

"So that is your limit?" Natasha asked noting the size

"Doesn't help that I have been keeping up with you for the last two days." Alex mumbled "We need to get out of here, I sense a lot of trucks coming this way." She added

"Good thing our ride is here then." Natasha stated looking over at where a quin jet was still a few minutes out.

"Then who is that?" Alex asked indicating the jet that had already landed, it was the widows.

"I cannot believe you did it." Alexie stated coming up to them with Melina who instantly went to check on both Natasha and Yelena before stopping and staring at Alex.

"You are?"

"Alex." She replied they did not get to talk as the other widows that Natasha and Yelena had freed with the antidote arrived to take them somewhere safe.

"Leave this to me, I will sort this out." Natasha stated knowing that they needed to leave before the authorities arrived.

"You should come with us." Yelena stated she had just gotten her back she did not want to lose her again. Natasha ended up hugging her.

"If you're ever out west…" Natasha smiled handing her a piece of paper it had a number on it.

"I think it will be nice to visit my sister and her family." Yelena retorted mimicking her smile.

"You should go." Natasha stated and watched as they started making their way towards the jet. "Alex you too." Natasha added

"Its SHIELD." Alex stated technically she was a SHIELD asset assigned to Natasha.

"And local authority."

"They don't know my face." Alex shrugged but ended up sighing

"She can come with us." Melina stated hearing the conversation she was curious to know who she was but tensed as Alex simply jumped in the air.

"What was that?" Alexie asked as she disappeared from view

"So that is how she did it." Yelena stated answering her question on how Alex kept appearing.

Maria arrived and SHIELD dealt with the fallout of the Red Room's fall, she had agents on clean up duty but was worried for Natasha. Maria had directed Alex to the Bus where she was currently benched while Coulson and his team worked on the clean up. She was resting on Maria's orders when she discovered how much she had pushed herself the last couple of days without much rest.

"You know you are meant to be resting." Natasha stated leaning against the wall as Alex was busy typing away on Skye's laptop.

"I slept; I need no more." Alex replied

"You were bleeding." Natasha stated she had spoken to Skye about it, and it had everyone concerned when Skye had shared that has never happened before. Maria had Jemma run a couple of tests, but she wasn't sure what she was looking for.

"A nosebleed is no big deal." Alex replied, "You were bleeding too, they are not wrapping you in cottonwool." Alex added

"I fought several widows, my injuries can be explained yours however…" Natasha stopped noting how Alex was slightly swaying she stepped towards her but Alex shock off her concern.

"I am fine, the red room is dealt with, but He is still out there. I was thinking with the ripples of the Red Rooms fall maybe we might get lucky." Alex stated but stopped typing "So your family reunion, was it everything you expected?" Alex asked trying to change the subject, she wanted to keep searching but she was feeling tired.

"Nice try."

"I am not the only one concerned, if you do not want to talk to me…you should talk to someone." Alex stated "Is this Maria's doing?" she asked getting up and moving towards the couch she was trying to push past her tiredness but it was a losing battle.

"She told you to get some rest."

"I did though." Alex replied but it was more of a mumble as she was falling asleep before Natasha could respond.

"Would you have kept her awake if I answered her question?" Natasha asked not turning around to look at Maria who had entered the bus.

"You weren't going to answer her though." Maria replied moving in and hugging her, "I could feel your concern for her." She added

"She was swaying." Natasha replied

"Did you want to talk about it?" Maria asked

"You already know how I feel about it." Natasha retorted turning to face her. "What's up?"

"We're heading back home." Maria replied looking down at Alex she had many questions but had a feeling that she would probably not like the answers.
