"Move your ass, super soldier," I tell Alexei as I fly the helicopter with Yelena, helping our "Dad" escape from a highly guarded, isolated prison in Russia. 

"He's never going to make it," Yelena says as we watch Alexei miserably fail in his attempt in escaping. 

"Get me closer," Nat says, getting ready in the back of the helicopter. 

Yelena and I move the helicopter closer to the prison as Nat gets ready to jump out. I press a button to open up the door for her and she jumps out. We look as she lands on a platform, doing the pose Yelena and I was making fun of her for. 

"Such a poser," Yelena and I say at the same time. 

Yelena and I then struggle flying the helicopter as we have to make sure we don't get shot when the guards begin to shoot. Yelena suddenly gets up, making her way to the back. 

"What are you doing?" I look back to ask her. She grabs a large weapon, aiming outside at a building. She shoots a missile, destroying the top of the building. She comes back up her, a pleased smile plastered on her face. 

"Oh," Her smile falls as we both look at the avalanche occurring because of the missile. She chuckles innocently at me. "This will be a cool way to die."

"Seriously?" I cock an eyebrow. 

I turn the helicopter so Nat can jump back onto the rope. I then turn again, heading to where Alexei waits on a platform. When Nat grabs him, we barely but surely make it out before the avalanche consumes the helicopter. 

"Oh, I'm so proud of you girls," Alexei compliments after getting into the helicopter after Nat. We ignore him, our headphones on while we fly the helicopter. "Oh, you can't hear me, huh?" He puts on a pair of headsets, talking through them. Yelena hits him in the face. "Oh! Why the aggression? Is it your time of the month?"

"We don't get our periods, dipshit," I point out. "We don't have uteruses."

"Or ovaries," Nat adds. 

"Yeah, that what happens when the Red Room gives you an involuntary hysterectomy," Yelena says. "They kind of just go in and they rip out all of your reproductive organs. They just get in there and they chop them all away."

"So we can't have babies-"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Alexei cuts me off, having heard enough. "You don't have to get so clinical and nasty."

"I mean, I could talk about fallopian tubes, but okay," I say. 

"No," He quickly says. "It means so much to me that you came back for me."

"No, you're gonna tell us how to get to the Red Room," Nat informs him of the real reason we rescued him. 

"All business, huh?" He chuckles.
