This is the story of Forsaken, a skilled and trained assassin who works for Hydra until she is rescued by Shield. She tries to find her old memori...
Natasha skilfully drove the car through the streets, driving Steve and Alice to Shield's headquarters. Once there, they quickly geared up and proceeded directly to a waiting Quinjet. As the aircraft flew over the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, Agent Rumlow took the lead, providing a detailed explanation of the mission.
During the briefing, Alice couldn't shake the uncanny feeling that she had some prior connection with Agent Rumlow. Despite it being only their third mission together, an inexplicable familiarity lingered on her mind. Deciding to put aside these thoughts, she focused on the imminent task at hand. Aware of the chaos of her mind, she was determined not to let personal reflections interfere with the mission's success.
Rumlow gave the details of the mission – the hijacking of a mobile satellite launch platform, the Lemurian Star, by pirates.
"Did the pirates make any demands?" Alice asked while the platform was being projected onto the screen.
"Billion and a half," Rumlow responded to her question.
"Why so steep?" Steve inquired, suspicious of the big amount of money being demanded by the pirates.
"Because it's Shield's," Rumlow clarified.
"So, it's not off-course. It's trespassing," Steve turned to Alice and Nat.
Natasha slowly turned her head to Steve, "I'm sure they have a good reason."
Amidst the banter, Steve decided to express his frustration. "You know, I'm getting a little tired of being Fur's janitor and I'm sure Onyx is too."
"Relax. It's not that complicated," Natasha interjected, her attention back on the screen above her.
Ignoring Steve and Nat's conversation, Alice turned to Rumlow. "How many pirates are there?"
"25. Top mercs led by this guy," Rumlow showed the picture of a man on the screen. "Georges Batroc. EX-DGSE, Action Division. He's at the top of Interpol's Red Notice. Before the French demobilized him, he had 36 kill missions. This guy's got a rep for maximum casualties."
"So, someone paid Batroc to hijack the ship, right?" Alice said, "I can't see Batroc having any kind of interest on what's on that ship besides getting paid."
"Maybe," Steve agreed. "Hostages?"
"Mostly techs. One officer. Jasper Sitwell." Rumlow showed the picture of the agent on the screen and, once again, Alice felt like she knew him. But that couldn't be possible, right? She had only met Rumlow on missions and she had never seen Sitwell until now, yet their faces looked very familiar. "They're in the galley."
