Edited: 12/3/23

Infuriated.

verb
past tense: infuriated; past participle: infuriated
make (someone) extremely angry and impatient.

Natasha was beyond infuriated. She had her sister in her hands, her sister was there. It was her. She wasn't controlled and then she flipped.

"Natasha... we'll get her back it's okay." Clint says, putting a hand on her shoulder but she shoves it off.

"Don't Barton. Not now." She says angrily, storming off. Melina sends an apologetic look to Clint before rushing after her eldest daughter. Steve follows Yelena out of the tower and for a walk.

"Yelena wait." Steve shouts, catching up with her and sitting down on a park bench with her. "What are you thinking?" He asks, looking over at her. She sighs, shaking her head and putting her head in her hands.

"She was right there Steve. Right there. It was her. We need to find that serum so that Dreykov can't keep controlling her."

"And we will."

"Yeah well that's not very encouraging when it's always one small step forward and a hundred back." Steve sighs, sitting there next to one of his best friends who was upset and he didn't know how to help her.

Meanwhile back at the tower, Melina found Natasha taking all her fury out on a punching bag. "Natasha..." Melina says softly but Nat ignores her, continuing to beat away at the punching bag. "Natasha stop." Melina states, grabbing Nat's hands and stilling them. Natasha looks up at Melina before breaking down, tears slipping down her face as she cries.

Melina pulls her in for a hug, holding onto her daughter and not letting her go. After five minutes of standing there, Natasha pulls away wiping away at her tear stained cheeks and taking a deep breath.

"We have to find her." She says and Melina nods, moving away a strand of hair out of her face.

"We will." Melina says and Natasha just nods, walking out of the training room briskly.

*In Morocco*

Claire walked quickly into the building, following the red room girl who had driven the escape vehicle. "This way Claire." She says and they both round the corner until they come to a metal door. "He's in there." The girl speaks and Claire nods, knocking once before walking into the room, the door closing behind her.

"Good to have you back Claire." Dreykov says and Claire hesitates to speak, having an internal battle within her mind, trying to fight to brainwashing yet failing. Dreykov smirks, knowing exactly what she was trying to do. The chip implanted in her brain sent direct signals to his screen showing him exactly what she was thinking and doing. It also helped control her.

Claire was putting up a fight in her mind, trying to break free. The want to see her sisters again overpowering everything in her body, telling her to fight it. She broke free for just a moment, drawing her gun and immediately aiming it at Dreykov.

"Why are you controlling me." She asks, her voice cold and hard. She was still fighting to stay out of the brainwashing as Dreykov came around the desk, sitting on the front of it and looking at her, unafraid of the gun that was pointed at him.

"Because you are mine." He states. All of a sudden a large boom shakes the warehouse and both Claire and Dreykov look at the door, momentarily forgetting their argument.

The doors kicked down and Natasha, Yelena, Melina, Steve and Tony are all standing there. Dreykov immediately smacks his hand down on the table and Claire's mind goes blank, the brainwashing taking over again. She immediately starts fighting with them, giving Dreykov a slim chance at escaping which doesn't work when Tony blasts him from behind, sending him flying into a wall and falling unconscious.
