The Viper

Bucky POV via surveillance camera

Location: Tokyo, Japan

Katerina was located in Tokyo, Japan. This is the first time anyone has seen "The Viper" without the mask. Her face on display, for the world to see for the first time in 7 years. The question of "Where is Katerina?" has been answered, but I'm not sure anyone likes the way this story ended up.

Kat was walking down an alley way in an all-black suit, like Natasha's, with the snake skin pattern around her stomach. Her hair had grown to be long enough to reach her butt and was now a dark black. She had 2 people next to her who looked to be Hydra agents dressed in all black Hydra suits, following her into a club called, Hellfire club.

As they approached the entrance, they were stopped by a security guard. Kat just stood there in silence, as the two people with her talked to the guard. Kat was adorned with a machine gun on her back, and a pistol on her thigh. After the men were done speaking to the guard, they were granted access into the club.

As they walked in all heads were turned. Kat kept her eyes straight not making eye contact with anyone, focused solely on her mission. Everyone around her couldn't believe that the Avenger, the great Katerina Romanoff was in their presence, but little did they know, that this person in front of them, was a shell of who she really was before. 

They approached the bar, as one of the men said, "We're looking for Klaw. Tell him The Viper is here to see him."

The bartender eyed Kat up and down, a little too seriously and long might I add, and nodded his head, signaling he would get the man they were looking for. He turned around and picked up the phone.

The 3 of them sat there as the conversation was being had on the phone. I couldn't help but notice the new scars that covered Kat's body. Although majority of it was covered by her suit, I could see her hands had scars from rope, and her neck was filled with new bruises, and scars of old. The pain was written in her eyes, but that's something I could see. Her hair covered majority of the scars on the back of her neck, But I could see some of her scars peaking out from the sides of her hair. It broke my heart.

A few moments later, the bartender hung up the phone and said, "I will take you to Klaw now."

The three of them followed the bartender up a flight of stairs to an office floor. Music was blaring throughout the bar, making it hard to understand some of the things they were saying to one another. The floor was all black, with gray details and gave you an eerie feeling when being in it, even I could tell that from watching the surveillance footage.

They approached a door, as the bartender knocked on it, the two men following Katerina, took their spots in front of her, so she would walk in the room following them. The door was opened as the bartender showed them inside, leaving them and shutting the door behind them.

There was a man sitting behind a desk in a room that was black with red details. He had grey hair, one arm made of a metal that appeared to be vibranium, similar to mine, but where did he get the vibranium?

"Who sent you?" The man behind the desk, who I presumed to be Klaw, asked.

"We're from Hydra, here to get your stolen Wakandan goods." One of the men said. 

You could tell the two men with her had never had to interrogate someone. If they let Kat loose, she could crack him in 2 minutes. 

"Is this your first time intimidating someone? I'm afraid I'm not that afraid." Klaw responded with a chuckle.

"Everybody is afraid of something." The other guard said.

"Ha ha, even if I was afraid, it definitely wouldn't be the two of you," Klaw said, "But, the little lady behind you, her reputation is what got you through the door, so, if you want to get to my goods, I want yours."

The two gentlemen moved backwards towards Kat and stood next to her, as one of them said, "Would you like to see her in action?" 

"Ha, if I can be impressed, we might have a deal on our hands. There's some people downstairs I'm not particularly fond of... take care of them for me?"

One of the men leaned over to Kat and said, "Убить всех в баре" (Kill everyone in the bar)

Kat didn't respond, instead she took her left arm behind her back grabbing her machine gun. She turned around and made her way out of the office, to complete her mission.

She went down the stairs into the bar, and readied her machine gun, firing shots all around the room, killing multiple. Without even trying, she was able to shoot to kill with majority of them, hitting to kill. Her bullets were covered in poison, so killing was instant. 

Those she didn't kill with her shot gun, she grabbed her knife and killed them all with one single stab or swipe, she kept going and going until there was no life left in the room, all there was was blood. All done at the hands of The Viper.

After all of her killings, and completing her mission, Kat walked back up the stairs back into Klaw's office and he said,

"Well done. Hydra sure does know how to make a fine-tuned weapon. Granted a former avenger but it'll do. But why does hydra need my trade goods?" He said.

"It's not just us anymore. Ultron, he'll have your head," One of the guards said as he held up a knife to his neck, "or the metal."

"Whoa whoa okay, I'd prefer to keep my head, don't get all excited. But I'd prefer a little, how do you say, uh Cheddar Cheese for my goods?" Klaw responded.

"How's 25 million."

"Perfect, we have a deal." Klaw said as the knife was removed from his neck. He got up from his chair behind his desk and walked over to the wooden hutch on the wall. He opened it to reveal a wall of tubes of vibranium. The gem of Wakanda.

"Here you are lady and gents." Klaw said, as he handed the men a tube each, "Tell Ultron Klaw wants to see him be the greatest, and take the Avengers down."

Kat and the men didn't say anything, but they turned and exited the office. They walked through the building covered with bodies and walked out to a car waiting for them. They hopped in the car, and were on their way.
