Brooklyn:

Alyssa perched on the top of a building, looking very much like a cat poised to pounce. Her long hair blew in the wind, twisting into knots and getting stuck in her makeup.

  "Everything good up there, Parker?"  Clint asked

"Perfect." Peter and Alyssa answered

  "I meant Peter."

Peter chuckled.

"Everything's good on my end, Nat's almost to the target."

"I can't believe they'd be dumb enough to sell the serum in Brooklyn." Clint sighed

"Dumbed down, it's pretty much a very strong steroid." Alyssa explained "Lots of stupid scrawny kids in Brooklyn."

  Bucky chuckled. Pre-serum Steve Rogers flashed through his mind.

"You know the last time I was here I webbed Harry to a light pole?" Peter laughed quietly

"You what?" Tony asked

"He tied Alyssa's abusive ex to a light pole." Bucky clarified

Tony snorted.

"Of course he did."

Natasha reached the seller and whispered "peanuts." Into her earpiece.

She recognized the seller and he recognized her.

   "If it isn't Miss Romanov." The man said, pulling a gun.

Natasha spotted a shadow behind the man and smirked.

"Mrs. Barnes actually." She said.

The man pulled the trigger just as the barrel of the gun was met with a metal fist. The gun exploded in the man's hand.

   "The Winter Soldier." The man whimpered.

"More than that." Alyssa said, running and jumping off the roof.

She landed on the man's shoulders and brought him down to the ground. He threw her across the sidewalk , reaching for his knife and Natasha stepped on his throat.

"Go after my daughter. I dare you." She growled.

  Alyssa stood as Clint dropped from a building. She watched as he zip tied the man. The street seemed to be spinning. She felt nauseous and sweaty. Her hands were clammy and her vision was going blurry.

  "Okay. This time I really don't feel so good." She said before hitting the ground.

"Lyssa!" Peter yelled, throwing himself off the building
