"Agent Romanoff." Fury called over a red headed woman in a leather jacket. When she turned to face them Adelaide immediately recognized her. "This is Agent Herrmann. She'll be apart of this mission."

"Herrmann?" Agent Romanoff questioned. "As in Adelaide Herrmann? The Silver Widow. The one who got compromised by Hydra."

"Not compromised. Kidnapped."

"You were a legend in the Red Room." Natasha told her. "Not that it's a great honor, I'm guessing." She said recognizing the uncomfortable feeling on Adelaide's face. It was something Natasha felt when she was first brought in.

"It wasn't." Adelaide said bluntly. Natasha must have been brought in after Adelaide. "How did you escape them?" Adelaide asked.

"Pure luck." Natasha said. She was curious about how Adelaide could be brought in for this job, especially considering her past. "It must be strange for you to be working for S.H.I.E.L.D.."

"Agent Romanoff, could you show Dr. Banner to his laboratory, please?" Fury requested and Natasha left the conversation she was having with Adelaide.

"You're gonna love it, Doc. We got all the toys."

Steve overheard the conversation the two women had and stared at Adelaide. A Hydra agent.

When they finally located Loki, Steve tried to get him to surrender but it soon became a fight.

Natasha and Adelaide were in the jet watching everything go down. "They guy's all over the place." Natasha said to herself.

"Agent Romanoff. You miss me?" An unfamiliar male voice said over the intercoms. The PA system started playing rock music and a man in a metal suit flew in.

Stark and Rogers brought Loki onto the jet and Natasha and Adelaide flew them back to the helicarrier.

"Is he saying anything?" Fury asked.

"Not a word."

"Just get him here. We're low on time."

"Demanding, isn't he?" Adelaide said dryly when Natasha hung up the intercoms. She looked down at her radar and then back in front of her. A bunch of storm clouds were cluttering the sky in front of them.

"Where's this coming from?" Suddenly something hit the roof of the jet and everyone looked up. Adelaide tried to remain in control of the jet.

Natasha and Adelaide looked back to find Stark had opened the back and a man flew in. He ripped Loki out of his seat and flew back out.

"Another Asgardian?" Natasha asked.

"That guy's a friendly?" Steve asked and stood up to face Stark.

"Doesn't matter. If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost." Stark made his way to the open hatch.

"Stark, we need a plan of attack!" Steve protested.

"I have a plan. Attack."

"I'd sit this one out, Cap." Natasha told him and Adelaide drew her eyes towards the back to see what he was doing.

"I don't see how I can."

"These guys come from legend. They're basically gods."

"There's only one God, ma'am." Steve tightened his parachute. "And I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that." Steve grabbed his shield and jumped out of the jet.

"I didn't realize how much toxic masculinity this mission would have." Adelaide closed the back and continued to keep the jet on course.

"Why'd you agree to it? The mission. From what I hear you were the biggest threat to S.H.I.E.L.D., and now they recruit you for a mission. It doesn't make sense." Natasha said.

"I wasn't recruited because of my background. I was recruited for my experience."
