Author's Note: I know I said that I would make the first two chapters about Kya's life in S.H.I.E.L.D. but I changed my mind and decided to follow Rosebirdie98's advice and go straight into Age of Ultron with flashbacks from previous movies.
And I was watching Age of Ultron while I was writing this so that should have inspired me somewhat, right ;)?
Without further ado...
-Flashback-
Kya took a deep breath as she zipped up her suit. It was a similar version of Nat's, but the material was slightly different. It was designed to absorb the water, but the water in her suit was only for a last resort only.
She was sixteen years old, and it was her first mission. It was just a simple escort mission, but that didn't stop her from being nervous.
A hand on her shoulder brought her out of her thoughts. Kya looked up and saw Natasha.
The red head smiled comfortingly at the girl that she's has been training for six years. "You'll be fine, Rebenok Pauk."
Kya smiled uneasily. "I know, Mamochka Pauk."
Natasha smiled at the nickname. They started calling each other those nicknames a few months after Kya started learning Russian when she was twelve. Rebenok Pauk meant Baby Spider and Mamochka Pauk meant Mama Spider.
Fury's voice on the intercom brought the waterbender and her surrogate mother back to reality. "Agent Romanoff, report to Air Hanger for take off."
Natasha smiled and pulled Kya into a hug. "I'll see you when you get back."
Since Kya Milani didn't exist in any official records and since she was still a minor, S.H.I.E.l.D. had to create a different identity for her. Officially, her name was Kya Romanoff, per Natasha's request.
Turning around and taking another deep breath, Kya left for her first mission.
-End of Flashback-
The silver-haired waterbender shot out of her memories and used a water whip to fling an enemy soldier away from the jeep Natasha was driving and the back that she and Clint were occupying. This was the last Hydra Base, and with luck, the place that was holding Loki's scepter.
Clint, noticing that Kya was slightly distracted, looked at his surrogate daughter out of the corner of his eye. "You okay there Tsunami?" (Author's Note: What do you guys think of Kya's Hero name?)
Kya shot an icicle at a soldier that was tailing Cap's motorcycle. "Yeah, I'm okay."
Looking at her surrogate father, she spotted a soldier aiming at Clint over his shoulder. Quickly created a bow and arrow out of ice - something she and Clint perfected when she was around nineteen years old - she drew back using the moisture in the air and fired. Clint turned around just in time to see it hit the solider dead in the chest.
"That's my girl!"
Kya smiled. Moments later, Natasha's voice cut across the gunshots and shouts. "Get ready!"
Kya looked up and saw the barricade coming up. Quickly closing her waterskin, Kya braced herself and jumped when the car hit the barricade. Falling into a graceful role, Kya quickly stood up and created a wave and used it to force the soldiers away. Seeing more coming, she created octopus arms and used them the fling soldiers away and took their weapons.
"Kya, give me a boost!"
Quickly dispatching a soldier, Kya slammed her palms into the ground and created and ice pillar that launched Nat to the top of a lookout. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Tony fly toward Struker's castle, only to be deflected back by a blue shield
"Shit!"
Kya recognized Steve's voice as it followed quickly after. "Language!"
The waterbender giggled as she trapped an enemy soldier using icicles.
Big mistake Cap... Now Tony's never gonna let that go.
"Jarvis, what's the view from upstairs?"
The robotic voice of Tony's loyal AI flowed across the com-link system. "The central building is protected by some kind of energy shield. Strucker's technology is well beyond any other Hydra base we have taken."
Kya created a bow and arrow out of ice again and fired at a group of soldiers on a lookout. "Loki's scepter must be here then."
Thor grunted followed by a crash seconds after. "Kya's right. Strucker couldn't mount his defense without it."
A pained scream followed Thor's statement.
"At long last."
Clint was suddenly right next to her. "Tsunami, watch my six."
Nodding, Kya put the water back in the skin but didn't close it as she and Clint kept a watchful eye for any Hydra soldiers.
Nat's slightly winded voice projected across the com-link. "At long last is lasting a little long guys."
A barrage of bullets flew in her and Clint's direction. Clint quickly grabbed Kya's arm and pulled them both behind a tree. Smoothly retracting an arrow from his quiver, Clint knocked it, aimed it, and fired it at the bunker. Moments later it exploded.
"Yeah, I think we lost the element of surprise."
Kya flung an icicle at a rogue soldier and raised a sarcastic eyebrow in Clint's direction. "Now what gave you that idea?"
Clint grinned and winked at the waterbender. Tony's snarky voice cut through the noise. "Wait a second, no one's going to acknowledge the fact the Cap just said, 'Language'?"
Kya unsuccessfully tried to cover her laughter behind her hand.
Steve's tone was sheepish. "I know. It just slipped out."
Clint jerked his head in a certain direction. They moved across the clearing stealthily, weapons at the ready in case any Hydra soldiers decided to surprise them.
Javis addressed Tony. "Sir, the city is taking fire."
Kya and Clint got to their destination. Clint motioned for Kya to circle around and fire. After creeping a couple feet away, she pressed her back to a tree and fired from her direction while Clint fired from his.
Tony's answer was immediate. "Strucker isn't gonna worry about civilian casualties... Send in the Iron Legion."
Kya frowned and pursed her lips. Even though the Iron Legion was designed for good, they'll probably cause more stress than relief. She remembered from she files she read when she was grounded - it wasn't her fault... how was she supposed to know that flash-paper to sulfur was a bad idea? -about Sokovia. It wasn't exactly known for it's love for Stark Industries... Especially after the bombing incident fifteen years ago.
Clint fired an arrow at the bunker and he and Kya ducked behind their respective trees. A gust of wind blew past her and after no exploding bunkers, Kya looked around the tree to see the still standing bunker. She saw Clint looking at her from his tree in confusion. She shrugged, and Clint frowned.
He never missed, and he checked to see that all of his arrow heads were working properly before they left Stark tower, Kya knows because she helped him check... So what the hell happened?
Clint tried knocking another arrow and firing again, but was slammed into by a blue-ish grey streak, sending flying through the air and landing hard on the ground.
Kya heard a voice with a very, very handsome Sokovian accent cut through the tense air.
"You didn't see that coming?"
Author's Note: *Giggles in a conniving matter for cutting it off the moment Speedster Hottie walks in*
See you guys next chapter ;).
