Soldiers And Spies

Chapter 6

"Madame B? I... I don't understand. What's going on?" Natasha asked shocked. "I thought you had gotten out... you... you were helping me with intel." Natasha said hurt. She was stunned, left feeling hurt and betrayed. She should have known better than to trust someone from her old life, someone from the Red Room. With the exception of Eva, she was just like herself. She knew that she could be trusted.

"Oh my dear, you thought exactly what I wanted you to think. How do you think the Red Room has been finding you all these years hmm?"

"You evil bitch!" Natasha yelled, pulling one of her pistols from its holster and pointing it at Madame B. "You will pay, just like the rest of them."

"Uh, uh, uh... I wouldn't do that if I were you Miss Romanova." She said with a sick smile.

"What blow your brains I... I think I just might." she said as she cocked back her pistol.

"If you do, you and all your friends are dead." She stated as she clicked her fingers and through false walls and out of the shadows came a horde of Red Room agents armed with knives, swords and pistols, led by the one and only Ivan Petrovitch, Natasha's old handler. He was a brutal man who took no prisoners and accepted no weakness or failure. Many times he had beaten Natasha, until she learned to hide any fear or weakness she felt. Until she learned to do as she was told without questions and face her demons later on when she was alone and could not be reprimanded.

"Ahhh Natalia Alianovna Romanova... you have returned to us." He grinned.

"Correction, I've returned to kill you, you cold hearted bastard!" Natasha spat as she fired her pistol at a couple of the agents that were also wielding guns, the others followed suit, taking out those with guns first. Things quickly escalated and it turned into a full on hand to hand combat brawl. While Natasha went after Petrovitch, Eva went for Madame B.

The two women fought in hand to hand combat, Eva didn't use her powers as she was afraid that one of her hex bolts would end up hitting Natasha instead of Madame B.

Eva kicked Madame B and knocked her onto the ground as the older woman grabbed her and tried to strangle her, Eva punched her in the face and jumped up to her feet then.

"This is for Malia!" Eva screamed enraged and pinned Madame B to the wall then as Natasha gained the upper hand against Ivan, Eva was feeling angry and it showed in her powers.

"This is for Natasha!" She growled enraged and punched the woman who had ruined her and Natasha, she had destroyed countless young girls all because they were orphans.

Not anymore.

"And this is for me, bitch!" She hissed as her blue eyes turned red and she punched Madame B in the face, knocking her over and ultimately winning.

She heard a shout and looked over to see Natasha had broken Ivan's arm as she proceeded to kick him in the face.

Ivan crumpled into a heap.

Eva took a deep breath and grabbed the files on the project Psyche as Natasha stalked to where Madame B was.

"I trusted you! Even though you sterilised me like some animal!" Natasha said enraged but hurt.

Madame B stirred slightly and looked at her.

"I didn't sterilise you, you were put in the project Psyche program as was Eva due to the two of you having become the top of your classes." Madame B said calmly as the others entered.

"But you escaped before we could begin the project. That's when we began to focus our time on Eva."

"What do you mean you didn't sterilise me? I remember being operated on, you told me that's what had happened!" Natasha shouted. "The red room has been working with HYDRA this whole time?"

"Yes dear. Hydra had the scientists and doctors, and we had the perfect subjects. It was a win-win partnership." she smiled. "What we did to you was give you no more than your average long term birth control."

"And made me believe it was permanent! Why the hell would you do something like that!?" Natasha yelled, her head was spinning with all this new information and she didn't know what to think anymore. Almost her whole life she had been a part of HYDRA without even knowing it. It made her feel sick.

"It's just what we do Natalia. Something to help make you compliant." Madame B told her.

"Don't call me that, that's not my name... not anymore."

"If you have been working with HYDRA this whole time, then why did you send me to kill their top scientist?" Eva asked angrily as she approached Madame B.

"It was all a ruse my dear. Your target wasn't a scientist at all. Just a Hydra agent willing to die for our cause. We couldn't simply have people know that we just handed you over to them, so we had to make it look like a mission gone wrong."

"You people are sick!" Eva screamed as she punched Madame B as hard as she could, knocking her out.

"Thanks." Natasha told her. "I was getting sick of hearing that bitch's voice."

Clint fired off a couple of arrows, taking out two of the agents before another three descended upon him. He fought them off, striking them with his bow, before pulling out his knife to fend off a couple more.

Steve used his shield to deflect a bullet one of the agents fired at him, before Sharon shot her. Two more came at cap, wielding swords. He blocked their attack with his shield while Sharon grabbed one, he grabbed the other. Each wrestling the swords from their opponents before knocking them out.

Bucky had Eva's back. While she fought with Madame B, he took out any agents that tried to attack her from behind. Using his metal arm to overpower them and remove their weapons so that he could knock them unconscious.

Tony concentrated on the false walls where some of the agents had emerged from. He used his pulsors to blow a hole in them, making sure no one else could sneak in behind the rest of the team. He then helped Bucky fend off some more towards Natasha and Eva.

"Alright, tie everybody up." Steve ordered the shield agents. "Have them all transported back to SHIELD for processing and questioning.

"We did it Eva. We took them down." Nat said as she gave her a pat on the back. "We couldn't have done it without you."

"Thank you Natasha." She said as she pulled the red head into a hug, catching her off guard slightly, but she gladly accepted. Finally they were free of the Red Room. But still one thing remained... HYDRA.

Now that was going to be a problem, HYDRA was bigger and more dangerous in some places as she caught sight of Bucky and smiled at him as he came over to her.

"If we're taking down HYDRA, we need to be more careful seeing as they have a lot of guns and other weapons on their hands. Not to mention what they stole from S.H.I.E.L.D." Bucky said seriously as they watched the agents escort out the prisoners out to a quinjet.

"Then we better tell Fury and let him know what's going on." Steve stated calmly and they all headed towards the exit with Tony holding boxes that were filled with paperwork and files.

Eva was feeling angry and confused, she'd been working all along for HYDRA, even as a spy for the Red Room.

She felt confused as to who she really was but put it at the back of her mind as they boarded a quinjet and began flying back to the Avenger Tower.

By the time that they had arrived, Fury was waiting for them along with Maria and Pepper as Steve brought them up to speed abd the three of them looked disgusted.

"I knew HYDRA was sick but willingly torturing orphaned girls into becoming emotionless, ruthless assassins is something that I didn't know about." Fury said gravely as Maria turned to them.

"We've located five HYDRA groups in different countries, Germany, Belgium and one in Washington." Maria informed them as she showed another photo of a blonde haired young woman.

"And they've all been seen with this woman, Yelena Belkov."

"Yelena... that sneaky little bitch." Eva growled. "I wondered where she was when we didn't find her at The Red Room facility."

"Ok, so we make a plan to hit each HYDRA base until there is nothing left of them. We get rid of Hydra once and for all." Steve announced.

"It's been a long time coming." Bucky added remembering back to the 1940's when he and Steve fought against HYDRA while in the army.

"Everybody get some rest, you deserve it, and we have all had a hard day. We will begin planning first thing tomorrow." Steve told the team and they all dispersed, as he went to escort Director Fury and Maria out to their quinjet.

Later that night Clint went in search of Natasha, he hadn't seen her for the past few hours and he was worried about her. It had been an emotional day for her, learning the she had been under the rule of Hydra for most of her life. And that the people she had once trusted were really just sick and twisted bastards. He stood outside her room and knocked on the door.

"Tasha?" He called out, but there was no reply. So he entered anyway. He heard her shower running and saw that the bathroom door was closed. He went and knocked on the bathroom door. "Tasha? It's me. Are you okay in there?" He asked, but still he got no reply. "Nat?" He tried again. "Talk to me... I need to know that you're okay." And still he got nothing. "Alright, if you don't answer me... I'm coming in... You've been warned." Still no reply, now he was really worried.

He opened the door a crack, "If you're naked, cover up... I'm coming in!" He said as he entered the steamy bathroom and closed the door behind him. "Tasha?" He questioned as he neared the shower where the water was still running. He was met with the soft sound of her crying. "Don't kill me." He said as he rounded the corner, holding his hands up in surrender. There he was met with a view that almost broke his heart in two. Curled up on the shower floor with her arms hugging her knees tightly to her chest sat Natasha. She was in her underwear and a tank top as the hot water sprayed her.

"Shit Tasha." Clint sighed, saddened by how defeated she looked. Without a second thought he climbed into the shower with her and sat down under the hot water, pulling her into his strong arms. He just held her tight as she sobbed into his chest, his tank top and jeans becoming saturated by the shower. "It's ok, I'm here." he whispered. "Just let it all out. I got you..."

Meanwhile Bucky found Eva out on the balcony overlooking the city. He couldn't help the think about how beautiful she looked in the moonlight.

She looked like she was thinking about something as she absently played around with her necklace, she sensed him then and gave him a light smile.

"Hey, are you ok?" She asked quietly and Bucky nodded as he looked at her then quietly, she seemed happier, calmer since they had taken down the Red Room.

"I'm fine, what about you?" Bucky asked intently as he regarded the younger woman who smiled.

"I'm happy that we took down the Red Room, but I'm upset that I was basically working for HYDRA all along for these years. I feel used and betrayed." Eva said bitterly as Bucky stood beside her.

He took her hand and held it tightly, she held it back not caring that his hand was made out of metal and gently touched his cheek then tenderly.

"You aren't afraid of me?" Bucky asked wearily, watching how Eva stroked his metal hand tenderly and wasn't flinching away.

"No, why should I be James?" Eva asked softly, during their time being held captive by HYDRA, Bucky had told her that she could call him by his birth name James or Jamie.

"Because of what I am." Bucky said bitterly and Eva cupped his face then tenderly in her hands.

"I'm the same as well James, but I'm not scared of you." She said firmly as her eyes met his dark grey eyes.

He saw how completely at ease she was with him.

It had been a long time since Bucky had felt like a normal person again. Every time he was with Eva, he felt relaxed. She brought out the best in him, and helped him to see that he wasn't a bad person. He was a good man, who had done some bad things. And he had done them under the control of someone else. He loved that way that she said his name, with her slight Russian accent. She had said it accidently one time and ever since he had adored it coming from her. That was part of the reason why he told her that he wouldn't mind her using his first name instead of his nickname, like everyone else did. Only few people ever called him James.

"Do you believe in fate Eva?" He asked quietly.

"I don't know. It's hard for me to believe in something like that with all the bad things that have happened to me."

"I know what you mean. I never used to... until I met you. I couldn't help but think that you and I met for a reason. That maybe I was meant to save you. Because you definitely saved me. I was on the verge of giving up on everything. HYDRA had taken everything from me and made me into this monster that I no longer recognized. I hated myself. And then I met you, and you gave me something to live for. If it wasn't for you, I never would have made it out of there." He told her truthfully.

"I couldn't have done it without you either James." She whispered, thinking back on all that they went through together.

They become very close and she couldn't help but think about the intimate moments that they shared, like kissing each other and she held his hand tightly.

Bucky held it back tightly and noticed how Eva didn't flinch away when he touched her with his metal hand or his metal fingers, she simply smiled and laced her fingers with his metal ones.

He smiled and it held it tightly as he cupped her face, gently in his human hand and kissed her ever so gently on the mouth, not wanting to frighten her or anything.

Eva wraps her arms around him and kisses him back, not afraid of him in the least bit and he growls in her mouth then as she leans more into him.

"Eva." Bucky growled as he held her tightly in his arms and she leaned into him, loving the feel of his arms wrapped around her smaller body.

"James." Eva whispered softly, cupping his face tenderly.

She looked at him intensely. The feelings she had for him were so strong that she struggled to control them. All she wanted was more of him. The taste of his lips alone was not enough. She wanted to feel his skin against hers. She wanted to be held in his strong embrace. Being bold she grabbed a hold of his cybernetic hand and led him back to the room she was staying in. Gently she closed the door behind him and gave him a questioning look, as she spoke to him telepathically. 'Do you want this?' She asked him.

"More than anything." He whispered aloud. "But only if it's what you want."

"This is definitely what I want." She smiled as she began lifting his tight black t-shirt above his head, tossing it aside. She took the time to admire his body. He was muscular and toned, and she thought he look very sexy, metal limb and all. Slowly she traced her fingers along his chest, caressing his muscles and enjoying the way they twitched slightly beneath her touch. When she had mapped out his entire torso, she pulled him close for a kiss. A gentle but passionate kiss that was so intense it left her wanting him even more.

Bucky reached down to the hem of her tank top, slowly sliding it up, caressing her body as he went before lifting it over her head and tossing it on the floor with his discarded shirt. To say she was beautiful would be an understatement, and gorgeous wouldn't even come close. There were just no words on earth to describe how truly amazing she was. He found his resolve wearing thin, and all he wanted to do was throw her over his shoulder and carry her off to bed. But he knew that he wanted to give her what she deserved. He wanted to show her just how much he loved her and what she really meant to him.

Natasha clung to Clint as the hot water washed over her. She felt a little better somehow, it was as though the water was washing away some of the pain and anger she felt. And Clint's warm embrace was slowly melting away the rest.

"You ok?" He whispered softly.

"I will be." She replied as she wiped her eyes.

"C'mon let's get you out of here and dried." He said as he stood up and helped her to her feet, shutting off the shower. He led her out and wrapped a towel around her, rubbing it over her body to dry her off.

"I feel so numb Clint." She whispered.

"I know Tasha. I promise you, it will get better. And I'm here for you no matter what. Whatever you need, I'm here." He reassured her. "You should probably take these wet clothes off, I'll go get you some dry ones."

"I can't."

"What do you mean?"

"I must have hurt my shoulder in the fight, I couldn't get my tank top off, that's when I broke down... everything just all of a sudden became too much." She said softly.

"Come here." He beckoned, and she looked at him with a mixture of confusion and shock. "I'll help you, I promise I won't look. Just let me help ok."

"Ok." she said as she walked over to him, placing the towel on the vanity beside her, she turned around with her back facing Clint. Carefully he slid the tank top up her body and removed it, tossing it in the laundry hamper in the corner. He grabbed the towel and wrapped it around her body so she could cover herself up. Slowly he reached down, hooking his fingers in the waistband of her underwear he slid them down her legs and she stepped out of them. He threw them in the hamper to and began to rub the towel against her body to dry her off before leading her back into her room in search of some fresh clothes.

Eva led Bucky over to her bed where she sat him down before climbing onto his lap to kiss him passionately.

Bucky cupped her face in his hands, his metal hand cold against her soft, warm skin as he kissed her against him and slid his metal hand under her black bra.

He growled and began pulling it up, wanting to see every inch of the beautiful young woman who meant so much to him and growled low in his throat.

Bucky began biting and sucking on the soft skin on her chest, growling low and gripping her hips tightly in his hands as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

He nuzzled her neck tenderly, feeling her fingers unbutton the zipper of his jeans and held onto her tightly.

"I'm not hurting you, am I?" Bucky asked worriedly, Eva laughed softly and rested her forehead against his tenderly.

"You could never hurt me, James." Eva promised as she felt him pull off her jeans, leaving her now in her black panties and matching bra as Bucky looked at her longingly.

She cupped his cheek tenderly.

"I trust you."

Some sweet fluff between Clint and Natasha, not to mention Bucky and Eva. And thank you to everyone who reviewed :)
