Bucky ran through all the people he could remember from Hydra. He locked onto a memory he had from a few years ago of battling another Hydra agent with similar enhancements to himself. That agent had been one of the most skilled, lethal, and loyal agents he had ever seen. They had called her Death Shadow, and she was standing right in front of him. Any reason that she was operating in New York couldn't be good, so he quickly pressed the emergency button on his watch that would summon the other Avengers from the nearby tower. Luckily they had been in the city to have a meeting. Otherwise, his teammates would have been far away at the Avengers compound.
He watched as she turned to run. He couldn't let her out of his sight or she would disappear for sure. The Avengers needed to know what Hydra was doing in the area. He chased her as she ran down the alley. He was a bit faster than she was due to his loner legs, but just as Bucky caught up to her, she launched herself off of one of the dumpsters to grab halfway up a fire escape and started climbing. He quickly followed suit and began to climb. As they reached the roof, Bucky heard the telltale sound of Iron Man's suit. Bucky sighed in relief. Hopefully with his teammates' help, they'd be able to catch and contain her with minimal damage.
"Oh god," Kate whispered as her eyes went wide. She had been halfway across the roof when Iron Man landed a few feet in front of her. She slid to a halt on the gravel roof. Maybe he was there for the Winter Soldier? Her hopes were quickly dashed as he raised his gauntlet and aimed for her face.
"Stand down, kid," came the voice from the metal suit. "I don't want to hurt you, but if metal arm over there thought you are enough of a threat to push the emergency button then I'm inclined to believe him."
"She's Hydra's best weapon," the Winter Soldier cut in.
Kate was beginning to panic. This is not how today was supposed to go. She turned to run to the other side of the roof, but froze as she got a better sense of the mess she was in. to one side, the Black Widow and Hawkeye stood ready to engage. She may have been enhanced, but she wasn't stupid enough to not be intimidated by the pair. She glanced to the other side of the roof to see that Captain America in all his star-spangled glory had also appeared on this seemingly shrinking rooftop. Why weren't they attacking the Soldier? Were they all part of Hydra? That thought sent a chill straight to her bones. Nowhere would be safe with them after her. She sighed as she began to accept that she wasn't going to make it off this roof without a fight, and she had been having such a nice morning. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her old mask. It was the only thing from her assassin days that she couldn't seem to part with. It was solid black and covered all but her eyes. She pulled it over her head with a growl of annoyance.
"Guys, I'm pretty sure that's not a surrender mask," Hawkeye said.
"Just give up and we'll go easy on you. There's no need to-" Captain America tried but was cut off as Kate used his plea as a distraction to launch herself at Iron Man.
