Lauren sits in her cell.

She doesn't dare move.

She doesn't blink.

She stares at the wall.

She tries to soothe her mind.

She tries to calm down and focus.

She looks through the glass door of her cell and notices a Widow stationed outside. She sits up straight with a plan in mind.

" Mozhno li mne nemnogo vody?(Can I have some water?)" Lauren asks.

The Widow doesn't move at first, but after a few moments, leaves to get a bottle of water. The Widow open her cell, to hand her the bottle.

" Izvinite (Sorry)," Lauren says.

She kicks the bottle so it hits the Widow in the face. Lauren then sweeps the Widow's legs to knock her down, then uses the Widow's own widow bites to knock her out.

Lauren was careful that the setting wasn't too high.

She escapes from the cell and closes the door to lock the Widow inside. She's quick to find another suit to replace her torn one. As she zips up her new suit, she catches a glance of herself in the glass of the cell door. She sees the blood dripping from her nose. She gently brushes the nerve on her forehead with her pointer finger. She harshly bangs her head against the glass. She does it again, and again, until she severs the nerve. She looks at her reflection once more. She watches the blood seep from her nose. She looks into her own eyes before she darts off.

An explosion rumbles through the base, but Lauren thinks nothing of it.

Lauren grabs her gun and makes sure it's loaded. She cocks the gun and keeps it up at all times. She marches on back to Dreykov's office with one thing on her mind.

Killing.

Lauren kicks the office door open, but doesn't find Dreykov. She finds Natasha attempting to take on a group of Windows all on her own.

Lauren puts her gun away, and is quick to fire up the widow bites. She's able to take down two before they start to attack her.

They throw punches and kicks at the sister's. Their goal is to kill them. Lauren and Natasha only want to save them.

Within minutes, Yelena appears with the vials strapped to a bomb. She throws it up into the air and it explodes. The gas seeps into the Widow's brain, and finally frees them of their chemical subjugation.

Lauren stands up first, then helps up Natasha.

" Where's Dreykov?" Lauren asks.

" Escaping," Yelena says

" Slow down... are you okay?" Natasha asks.

" I'm compartmentalizing," Lauren responds.

Yelena comes over to Natasha and sees that she still has a knife in her back.
