Clint's POV
'On three' I mouthed to Natasha as we waited outside a metal door, we have just evaded a hydra base deep in the woods in Sokovia, Me and Natasha have gone around the back of the base, whilst Steve, Bruce and Thor attacked from the front and Stark was trying to disable their defences from above.
So far the mission has been going well, me and Natasha have managed to take out about 30 guards and a tank, before making our way around the back of the base. "One" I whispered as I drew an arrow, "two" and Nat cocked her gun, "three" and I barge through the door with Natasha following closely behind. Instead of finding a room the door led to a dark staircase which was leading deep underground.
"Great, a creepy staircase" I huffed, I heard Nat laugh behind me.
"We can hold hands, if you're too scared"
"In the movies, the people who go down the dark staircases and usually the people who are killed" I whispered as we descended down the stairs with our weapons drawn.
"Barton, Romanoff report" Steve's voice came through the com.
"The door round the back of the base leads underground, probably some sort of bunker, we're just going down ".
"Okay just stay alert, you don't know what's down there"
We reached the bottom off the staircase, light shone from around the corner and we could hear voices.
"Strucker said to destroy everything" "shouldn't we be getting out off here before they come".
I raised my eyebrows up at Natasha, as she just smirked and nodded towards where the light was coming from. We rounded the corner and there was a large room, which looks like some sort of research lab, weird equipment is scattered everywhere and to the left was a total white, pristine looking room, with an observation window and a table in the middle. Everyone in the room are too frantic to realize we are there, I knodded to Natasha and we both opened fire, managing to take down half the occupants in the room. Five guards ducked around a corner and started shooting at us, I dragged Natasha behind the nearest desk.
"you take the two on your right and I will take the three on my left" I instructed, as we both jumped up from behind the desk and took the five guards down easily. A ecruciating burning sensation went through my shoulder just as the last guard fell, I hissed in pain.
"Are you okay Clint"
"Yep fantastic, now can we just find that stupid scepter, so we can go home"
She wrapped a bandage around my shoulder, I did a quick scan of the room and notice right at the end of the room were too cells.
"umm Nat" and nodded towards the cells
"You think they're empty?"
"dunno, you go and clear that room and I will go and check" we both separated and I made my way to the cells, at first I thought they were empty by the lack of movement but as I got closer I could see a young girl laying unconscious on the bed, her long brown hair sprawled over the pillow. I then looked in the other cell and was met by a cold glare, a boy who looked the same age as the girl, but who has bleach blonde almost white hair, was standing in the far corner, I slung my arrow over my shoulder and raised my hands up.
"I'm not gonna hurt you...what's your name?"
The kid didn't respond or make any movement, just carried on with his death glare, I started to speak again but Natasha voice came over the com.
"I found the scepter boys"
"Finalllyyy" Starks voice came through "not saying I haven't enjoyed our little raiding parties".
"Guys there's a boy and a girl locked in the cells. The girl is unconscious and the boy haven't talked yet".
"The area is clear now and we're making our way round. Wait until we get there to open the cells we don't know are they hostile or not". Steve said.
Natasha came up behind me carrying a long box, she tilted her head as she inspected inside the cells
"Is she injured" Natasha asked going closer to the cell, I started to walk up towards the cell when a loud bang made both me and Natasha jump, the boy was up against the glass.
"Don't. Touch. Her" he snarled in a strong European accent.
"Oh he talks" I joked but it only made him look even angier, I put my hands up again "Look like I said before, we're not going to hurt you" but he still didn't relax from his defensive stance.
"Okay so I have downloaded all of Hydra's files " Stark said through the coms "and two names which they have tried really hard, but failed really bad at hiding, keeps popping up" I glance at Natasha who was prop up against a desk, still looking at the girl.
"Wanda and Pietro Maximoff" Stark continued "Twins frommm...Sokovia"
"So they are local, explains the accent" I added,
"All the rest of the files are more securely hidden, I will access them back on the plane. "
Steve and Thor walked in,
"Where's Bruce" Natasha asked spinning around
"He's meeting us back on the plane, he needed some time" Steve explained as he walked up to the cells and glance in them. The boy was still silently observing everyone, his left leg bouncing up and down.
"So what are we going to do about them"
