Janet stood in front of a set of large thick steel doors behind her was an open factory floor littered with people in black two button suits and masks. She turned her face to a camera above the door, "You have ten seconds to open this and come out with your masks off!" It had been only a two weeks since Anax had captured her and tortured them in Aoife's gym and she had to make that disgusting deal. She was given a copy of it from Captain America when nobody was looking and has had her people working on the data ever since. She had taken out 12 facilities already and this was her thirteenth one. It was a weapons storage and production facility in Indonesia from the intel she had she knew this was also the location of a king. Her previous busts had already led to the capture of 2 Ajaw and one other King. This was her chance to damage the Royals weapon supply this was the biggest place she had hit yet.
She knew it was dangerous to come here alone but she could not stop herself from doing this she needed revenge on them. Sayuki was off training with Hawkeye Aoife was training with captain America in the avengers tower. They were recovering getting ready to go on missions again it was Lyrica who was broken now. Her skull healing slowly her voice recovering steadily but she had not left the shield mental health facility after she learned who it was that kept her alive. It was hard for her knowing that such a cruel a man who hurt everybody you loved was the only reason you were alive. Janet had visited her every day she could and told her all the details staying strong for Lyrica because she needed it.
Janet turned her attention back to the door, "Fine then I am coming in my way." Janet shrunk down quickly hovering in front of the door she began to fire her stingers at it rapidly slowly heating up a single area. Once it was red she moved in closer holding her fingers a hair width away from the door the gold on her suit began to glow a bright flash erupted from her fingers as she slowly heated up the spot metal slowly dripping down until she could just see through a tiny hole. She began to slowly move her hands making the hole bigger until she dropped down quickly a blast of purple light shooting past her. "So that is how we are going to do it!" She grew back to her regular size, "I wanted to do this the easy way you said no! I tried to do it a gentle way you said no! Now we do it the shield way." She reached between her breasts pulling out a black box she opened it quickly pulling out an orange capsule she pulled off one end and it began to flash on the other. She then pulled off plastic strip and slammed the orange capsule against the door a few inches left of the seam. She then tapped her fingers against her thigh, "Maria! Tell the shield team that you have following me to a fire a missile at the tracking beacon I just turned on."
Maria hill's voice came over Janet's communicator, "Janet I can't authorize a missile strike on foreign soil without just cause. How did you know I was having you followed?"
"I have been an avenger and hero for years Maria I can spot a tail easily plus if you haven't forgotten I can pick up shield frequencies on my communicator. Just tell them to do or I will fly up there take hold of the dam plane and make them!"
Maria sighed, "Do you want them to come in as back up?"
Janet thought for a second, "Give me 12 minutes after the explosion then send them in to remove masks tell them not to get in my way!" Janet moved away from the door, "Now fire."
Maria yelled, "Fire!" a second after she did a missile flew through the open door of the warehouse and hit the door exploding violently sending the doors inwards and kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
Janet turned off her communications and flew into the cloud of dust and smoke, her goggles picking up the people in the room as she began to fire her stingers rapidly at them. Dodging the odd beam of purple light at first before more began to cut through the dust in random paths. They were not aiming just filling the entrance with shots hoping to hit the tiny hidden target. Janet began to fly close to the ground dodging feet and firing her stingers up at the people as she did knocking them out with shots right to their spinal cord. She suddenly found herself out of the smoke and in a hallway lined with men and women in masks and two button suits. They all began to fire at her creating a wall of purple light making Janet dive back into the first area she was in and firing stingers at the few remaining Royals who she did not take out.
Janet looked around spotting a vent on the wall she flew towards it firing her stingers and taking out the screws holding it up. She dove into it and began to fly through the vents coming out in the same hallway she was in before this time behind the crowd of Royals. A few well placed shots of her stingers took them down before she continued down the hallway. The hall was made of concrete bricks painted white the doors were all plexiglass letting Janet see into them. She saw they had Royal scientist in them some on computers some assembling weapons so as she flew past she fired her stingers at the key pads. Her hope was to fry the motor that opened the door into a full shut position. She had no idea if this would work but it was better than doing nothing and having them rush out of their rooms and attack her.
From her last few raids on their bases Janet had learned a lot about their hierarchy the ones in lab coats never left their stations until their leader told them too. They were trained in basic point and shoot combat but most of them had no idea how to fight in a battle. She knew this was a base with a mix of both science teams and fighters all under the control of a king. It was only a matter of time before she came across more fighters. She was just feeling lucky it was not swarmed with them yet but that soon went away when she rounded a corner to find a group of masked Royals she quickly turned around only to find her path was blocked by another group. She knew they were all fighters not one of them had a lab coat on and most masks she recognized from the list she had in a database. They were Rani and had yellow faces with a pale blue band on their heads to resemble a crown the mask features were elegant and soft.
Janet raised her hands and returned to her normal size after a second a male Rani walked towards her and placed her wrists in a set of cuffs in front of her. "The king wants to speak with you." The Rani all walked with her most keeping their guns on her in case she tried to shrink.
"Fine then I was looking forward to a chat with him," She smirked a bit as they led her down the hall she checked each door finding soon that they became steal doors after a while most likely storage rooms she was trying to determine the true size of the place. She stopped before two large metal doors with a gold dragon on it. A Rani put his hand on the door and it slowly opened to reveal a throne room.
The room was more simple then others but the Kings always seemed to keep it that way compared to the Ajaw. The walls were lined with swords and shields from hundreds of countries and era's. Suits of armour stood in the corners one from Europe one from Spartan time one from Japan and one from roman. The throne was made of steel thick and blocky the sides' depicted battles all done in gold and silver. Sitting on the throne sideways was a man in a two button suit he wore a white mask with a thin gold crown around it and the man's head on the face was a red slash from the upper right of the forehead down to the cheek. He looked to the Rani, "Good work now leave us." From behind his throne stepped out two women and two men in black two button suits their masks were shiny blue and yellow with crown of feathers across the top and around their heads and a pale gold color for the eyes and lips. "My Diyan will take care of this get ready to hold of shield as they come in after her." The group of Rani bowed as one before leaving the room and closing the door. The King then sat up straight, "Royal blood will never stain the world."
Janet smirked, "royal blood will bless the world." She shrunk slightly and let the cuffs fall to the ground as she looked around, "So we are safe to talk."
"Of course wasp these are trusted agents with the Royals they have been by my side since I first became part of this blood line 12 years ago." The king walked towards her, "I want to thank you for what you are doing for us Janet the Emperor is very pleased with your work."
"Somebody had to get rid of the weak blood in the family I am just glad you can trust me with it."
"Well we had to give you something after you were rescued from that compound." He stood up and walked towards her, "I still cannot believe how well it is going your idea of using you and shield to do the dirty work."
"Well after you sent Anax after me and my girls it just came to me I still wished I killed him that day."
"We had nothing to do with sending him after you that was not our doing he did it on his own."
"So he betrayed the bloodline for real."
"Yes we did not see it coming otherwise we would have stopped him."
"Next time I see him I will make sure to kill him."
"So does anybody suspect anything?"
"Not a bit shield thinks I am just too angry to calm down. My company is happy that I will make decisions when it is necessary so they have no reason to challenge what I am doing." She looked down, "Sayuki and Aoife are just happy I am hurting the Royals and Lyrica is well still broken."
The king lifted her chin up, "I know it hurts you to betray those girls they got hurt because of you but what we do now is for them and the world."
Janet nodded, "I know it is just still so painful to see them."
"You will be giving the traitor once we take out shield I promise you that." He took a few steps back, "Now it seems we have about 10 minutes before shield enters this room you know what we must do." Janet nodded, "Make it look good."
The King made a fist and punched Janet across the face the kneed her in the stomach, "I say two broken ribs and a few burn marks will do just fine." He turned to walk away as he did the Diyan opened fired at Janet hitting her in the stomach legs and arms.
Janet fell to her knees, "By my blood and by my soul I am Royal"
The King pulled on two swords at the back wall then pushed on a shield as he did a door opened in front of him. The Diyan rushed in passed him dragging out five bodies in mask one was like the Kings the rest were that of a Diyan they placed them on the ground all would have wounds on them as if they had fought with wasp. The Diyan then left through the door for a final time, "with Royal blood we live and die." The King stepped in and the door vanished from sight.
Janet blinked for a second and then began to scream looking at the bodies clutching her chest she fell down on her hands and knees. Looking back to see four shield agents rush to her, "I got them."
The agents nodded and ran to remove the masks only to find they had already began to engulf the heads a second later they rolled on the floor, "We were too late."
Janet hit the ground with her fist as she began to cry, "He shot me just as I hit him with a stinger."
A female agent pulled Janet into her arms, "It is not your fault it is how they work." She stood up with Janet, "Now let us get you to our medic and have you looked at."
Janet nodded leaning on the agent and walking with her slowly, "I really owe you guys this time."
"Anything to help take these guys out I had a brother they put on a pike at one of the bases they took I want to see this end as much as you."
Maria hill stood looking out of the window of her office on the Helicarrier sipping a cup of coffee she heard a knock on the door, "come in."
A young dark skin man entered the room a file in his hand, "I have the report on the last base wasp took."
Maria took a sip of her coffee, "What did you find out?"
"Like you suspected Janet's recollection of the fight is off it does not match our recreation at all."
Maria sighed, "What about her injuries?"
"They were all made when she was in full size and the shots all look to well placed to be random battle injuries."
"They all missed vital targets?"
"Yes and they all seemed to happen within seconds of each other from multiple angles. Even if she had been flying the angles are too subtle to be anything but shot from the same spots."
"What about the brain scan and blood tests we took?"
"She is not a skrull and her DNA is a perfect match it is Janet there is no doubt."
"What about a clone?"
"None of the usual signs or unusual ones are there."
"Then I guess we need to bring her in."
"Shall I put together a team?"
"No I will do it...I want you to take all the data we have gathered and put it onto a jump drive the erase it all from our system. Take all paper copies and destroy them this is now a protected matter only those I deem trustworthy will be brought in."
"The other people I had work on this?"
"Thank them and tell them I said thank you for taking care of Janet and keeping it quite from the world."
The agent saluted, "I will have everything done within the next two hours."
Maria saluted him back, "Then you are dismissed." The man would leave the room and Maria took a sip of her coffee, "I never thought I would be going after her of all the heroes."
