It's been about three weeks since the party at Stark Towers and the girls have had many changes to their life since then. Victoria has become the number one photographer at the Daily Bugle and is Tony Stark's new girlfriend. Victoria gets lots of fans when she is with Tony or out doing her photography with Peter. Ashley had applied and was accepted into the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. There, she has become one of the best agents there. She has also been dating Thor in secret. Even though she is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D, Ashley has created her own equipment and has a secret room hidden from everyone. Not even her sister knows about her secrets. Then again, both girls have been enjoying their new life since. But today, one of the girls' lives will be changing dramatically.
Ashley and Victoria got up one morning and did their normal routine before heading out the door for work. Victoria said 'See ya' to Ashley and left for work. Ashley went into her room and turned on her computer that was on her desk. Checking her email and stuff before leaving, Ashley saw nothing new and closed her computer. Locking the doors, Ashley turned around and saw a familiar car in front of her house. Smiling, Ashley walked over to the car as the driver side window lowered.
"Need a lift?" It was Ashley's co-worker Becky. Ashley smiled at her friend as the doors unlocked.
"Always." Ashley said getting in the car.
Once the two arrived at Stark Tower, they talked as they walked into the building. As they were in the main room getting ready to clock in, Ashley's phone went off with an emergency tone.
"Hang on a second." Ashley told Becky, who nodded. "This is Ashley."
"Ashley," It was Fury. "Get to the roof of Stark Towers now. We have an issue arising." Sighing, Ashley looked at Becky with a look.
"On my way," Ashley said hanging up. Putting her phone away, Ashley signed with irritation. "Boy, does he know how to make my mornings jumpy." Becky laughed as Ashley put her phone away.
"It's okay," Becky said. "You are one of the top agents anyways, so he'll be calling you first for anything."
"Yeah, I know." Ashley said. "I just thought I'd enjoy a day without hearing Fury's voice. I'll catch you later." Becky smiled and waved at Ashley as she left.
Ashley went to the roof top of Stark Towers and saw Fury and four other agents (one of them was Black Widow) waiting for her.
"Listen up agents," Fury said once Ashley joined them. "Agent Coulson has found out some information that has caught my attention." Fury gave the five agents some paper. "About 48 hours ago, Coulson and Hawkeye notice some suspicious activity at Oscorp. Recently, there has been many 'explosions' at his office and employees have gone missing. We have been keeping tabs due to knowing how crazy Dr. Osborn can be. But this most recent discovery has led me to think that Dr. Osborn is creating something bad."
"Like what?" Ashley asked looking through the paper.
"Unfortunately," Fury said shrugging. "I'm not sure. That's why I have called you guys here. I want to send you into Oscorp and find out what Dr. Osborn is up to. You five are my best agents, and I know you won't fail me." The five saluted Fury who saluted back. "You are to carry out this mission ASAP and keep me posted."
"Yes Sir." The agents said.
Later that day, the five agents headed to the Oscorp building after it closed. Ashley, Black Widow and two agents went to the back of the office building where the one agent had opened the door without tripping the security alarms. Then all five went into the building quietly and quickly. Once in, the five split up into two groups and started their mission. Ashley and Black Widow were one group while the other three agents were another group. The girls went to the lower levels of the building while the other agents got the upper levels.
Ashley and Black Widow walked down a hall in the building and notice that the security cameras were down. Then they came across a laboratory room's doors that were destroyed. Slowly and carefully, Ashley moved the door to the lab room and looked inside. Both of them notice that the room was a complete mess! Black Widow took out her gun for caution along with Ashley as they entered the room. Tapping hear earpiece, Black Widow called one of the agents.
"We are in a lab," Black Widow whispered as the girls looked around. "That was just recently used. Continue mission, Romanoff out."
"You'd think he'd keep the place a bit more ship shape," Ashley whispered. "Then again, we are talking about a psychotic man." As the girls got further and further into the lab, they notice many computers were destroyed along with many test tubes.
"Looks like something got out of hand," Black Widow whispered. "And it was just recently."
"Yeah," Ashley agreed. "But what and how?" Black Widow shrugged. Then their earpieces went off. "This is Ashley."
"Abort mission!" it was one of the agents. Ashley could hear guns firing off in the background as the agent talked to her. "We're under attack here on the 6th floor by Venom!" Ashley looked at Black Widow and the two ran towards the exit, but saw a figure blocking the door. The girls stopped running and then recognized who it was.
"Where do you think you two are going?" Dr. Osborn said holding a gun that was in a holster on his side. "You think you can come into my building so easily? Ha! You might want to try and update your security hacking skills." Ashley and Black Widow looked at each other as Dr. Osborn held his gun out to them.
Then, in a quick second, Ashley fired her gun at Dr. Osborn, which caused him to break his concentration. Ashley then signaled Black Widow to run, and the two ran in different directions in the room. Dr. Osborn saw the two girls run off as he took out a time bomb in the shape of a mini pumpkin. Smiling, he typed in a time and then threw the bomb towards the middle of the room.
"Try and dodge that one, agents." Dr. Osborn said leaving the room.
Ashley and Black Widow met back up at the back of the room and saw Dr. Osborn leave.
"Why isn't he coming after us?" Black Widow said. Ashley shrugged but then saw something rolling across the floor. Looking closely, Ashley saw blinking lights increasing in speed.
"Get down!" Ashley said tackling Black Widow down. Black Widow didn't speak as Ashley took her down and an explosion went off in the room. Then the floor began to crumble below them. Ashley and Black Widow got up and tried to run towards the other side of the room, but the floor had a huge hole growing in size.
"Great, we're trapped!" Ashley said.
"We're not trapped just yet," Black Widow took out a gun with a zip line on it. Firing it off towards the ceiling, the hook latched on to a thick pipe. Ashley grabbed onto Black Widow and the two swung across the hole as it still crumbled below them.
Once they reached the other side, the two felt a rumble underneath them and heard their ear pieces going off.
"We need to evacuate the building!" it was one of the agents. Even though the signal wasn't the greatest, they could still hear them. "The main reactor of the building just blew up! We are already outside. Where are you guys?"
"We are still on the lower floor." Black Widow said. "We are almost at the exit. Send a helicopter towards the main level so we can –" Black Widow stopped talking as a bullet buzzed past her. The girls stopped running and looked.
"Nice escape, ladies." Dr. Osborn said, standing in front of them. "I'm afraid that you will not be able to go any further." He fired another shot towards them, but the girls dodged it. Ashley fired her gun at Osborn and hit him in the leg. Osborn didn't fall and shot another round towards Ashley.
Then Black Widow surprised Dr. Osborn by jumping on him from behind. Taking him down, Black Widow and Dr. Osborn got into a scuffle until Osborn knocked Black Widow away. Ashley called an agent as Black Widow went back at Osborn.
"I need agents on the lower levels," Ashley said. "I repeat: I need agents on the lower levels!"
"There are agents outside of your position," an agent said. "We are on our way in." Ashley heard an explosion go off across the hall. Looking, she saw the walls crumble, revealing agents in the path way. Then the ground began to shake and crumble below Ashley. Jumping away from where she was standing, Ashley saw Black Widow dodging an attack from Dr. Osborn, but tripped over some debris. Then saw him take out a different gun and aim at Black Widow.
"Agent Romanoff, look out!" Ashley said pulling her gun out and firing it at Osborn.
Dr. Osborn heard a gun go off before he fired his gun and saw his gun break in his hands. Looking he saw Ashley with her gun pointed at him.
"That was a bad choice, young lady." Osborn said reaching into his lab coat. Then the ground began to break as Ashley ran towards Black Widow. Osborn fell down a bit, but then he took out another gun and aimed.
As Ashley helped Black Widow up, they saw the agents signaling the girls to move. Running towards the agents, the ground split open, almost causing Ashley and Black Widow to fall. Luckily they dodged the gap and kept running towards the agents. Then a gunshot echoed in the hall near the girls. Black Widow didn't look as she grabbed the hand of the agents. Turning around, her eyes grew wide as she saw Ashley fall down behind her.
"Ashley!" Black Widow yelled. She tried to get free to save Ashley, but the agents held on to her. "Let me go!"
"Agents, fall back!" Black Widow heard Fury's voice on the earpiece. "30 seconds till the building caves in. I repeat: fall back!" The agents began to back out of the building as more explosions went off.
"Wait! Ashley is still back there!" Black Widow yelled. "We can't leave her behind! Let me go!"
"Agent Romanoff," Fury said in the earpiece. "It's too dangerous for anyone to go back. Abort the mission now!"
"I'm not leaving without Agent Ashley!" Black Widow said. She punched one of the agents, who let go of her. As soon as she was free, the building burst with flames and smoke. The impact caused the agents to fall as the smoke spread over them.
As the smoke cleared, Black Widow immediately looked towards the building and could only see fire and debris. Then she saw Dr. Osborn lying just outside of the building and was out cold. Black Widow got up and ran towards the building and saw only a crater size hole in the place of Oscorp. Horror-stricken and anger rose in Black Widow as she stood at the edge of the crater.
"Agent Ashley is missing," Black Widow heard an agent say in the earpiece with sorrow in their voice. "Dr. Osborn is with us. Transporting back to Helicarrier."
"All agents report back." Fury said in the earpiece. All but Black Widow responded immediately. "Agent Romanoff, do you copy?"
"Agent Romanoff reporting" Black Widow said after a few seconds. Then she saw something next to some of the debris near her foot. Going over to the area, she saw Ashley's earpiece and broken glass of test tubes. Black Widow picked up Ashley's earpiece and looked at it. "I could've saved her." Black Widow turned and walked with the agents and headed to the Helicarrier.
