It was around 7 am that Steve called Natasha and Wanda into a meeting in the conference room, when Wanda got there she saw an irritated Natasha sitting down and the usual stoic Steve standing at the end of the table, She took a seat on the opposite side of Natasha and gave her a confused look, one that Natasha returned with a shrug.

Steve cleared his throat as he began talking to the two women, he turned to Wanda first and started "I was just given a new last-minute mission that requires your set of skills in order to get new intel on a fast-rising Russian mob that has been dealing in weapons as of late, its a three month no contact opp...are you up for it?" Wanda knew that he was only asking out of politeness when a mission that needed her powers was put on the books it was more of command than an ask from SHIELD "yes, I'm up for it, how long till I leave?" Steve nodded "the quinjet will be leaving in 30 to take you"

Steve turned his head to the resident Russian and gave a desperate small as he began "there is a recruit who-" Natasha immediately cut him off "no, I'm not babysitting some new recruit while Wanda gets to go on a vacation..." Steve gave her a pleading look and she rolled her eyes as she sighed "...fiiinee, what do I have to do?" He nodded and continued his earlier statement "There is a recruit who Pietro thinks needs a more advanced training partner and regimen, you are being tasked with his review to determine whether he will get that....and trust me, Nat, this isn't your regular recruit, he's something special I promise you"

Natasha and Wanda shared a look of confusion, it's not every day the super-soldier promises something of a recruit, he ignores their looks and slides them each a manila folder "here you go, enjoy yourselves you two, and Nat...don't kill the poor kid" she chuckles at his remark as she and Wanda get up and head out of the room, they share a quick hug and Natasha wishes her good luck, Wanda laughs at that "oh, all the luck needs to go to that recruit!"

As Wanda finishes packing for her mission and heads towards the quinjet, Pietro stops her to say goodbye and wish her well on the mission. Vision is at the quinjet helping a few agents double-check the engine and guiding system, he and Wanda share a tender hug and a small kiss goodbye before she takes off for her mission.

On the other side of the compound however a young SWORD recruit has no idea what is in store for him as he walks to the training room he was informed to go to for his review, but as soon as he opens the door he is stopped in his tracks by a radiant and glowing pair of emerald eyes that lock onto his, his eyes go from the woman's to her shoulder-length ruby red hair, he clears his throat as soon as he realizes how long he is staring for which gives the woman a small smile, he begins to introduce himself.

"Hi, I'm agent Y/L/N, I was told to come here for a review of some kind?..." he trailed off as she extended a hand, "I'm well aware of who you are and as for the review I will be conducting it...I'm Natasha Romanoff, hopefully by the end of this, we can see if you really do need a more advanced regimen"

The agent's eyes go wide with shock and then he is hit with a wave of realization as he puts his head back and groans "Pietro...you dick" this makes Natashas laugh even more now that she knows (Y/N) himself didn't even request for the advancement, she brushes it off and continues tho "okay let's see what you got, we'll start off with marksmanship and work our way down he list from there as she walks over to the bench with a clipboard and one 9mm pistol is sitting, he walks over and puts his training bag and hoodie on the bench and puts his eyewear on as Natasha goes to set up the targets, he waits for her to mark where he will be shooting from but she never does, instead she tells him to just start shooting, he is confused by this and natasha simply sighs and walks over to him, she takes the gun and shoots at the targets as she makes her way across the room when she is finished she hands the gun back to him and gives him a new clip, he now understands what she wants him to do and mirrors her movements as he makes his way across the room while shooting down the targets, he waited for her to look them over with a smile, before she moves on "now strip dow-" she is quickly interupted by the agent.
