In 1950, HYDRA created 30 artificial soldiers so they could find the perfect weapon. Experiment after experiment, training session after training session led to broken minds and indestructible living weapons.

After Nat had shown her to a bedroom, Nish looked in the wardrobe. She was greeted with a few different uniforms as well as her sword that was gifted to her by Shuri. She noticed that the sword had been cleaned and polished making it look brand new but she knew of all the Outriders that she slaughtered with this sword. No matter how much a weapon was cleaned, the blood would never be cleaned from the hands that used it.
She threw on a black leather catsuit that had orange stitching to symbolise the fire that the Phoenix emitted. Nish put on a pair of knee high combat boots before placing her frizzy tangled hair in a messy bun. She grabbed the sword and headed out to the ship that everyone else was on. The ship took off and soared through the air.
"Okay. Who here hasn't been to space?" Rocket looked back waiting for a respond.
Nat, Steve, Rhodey and Nish all stuck their hands up.
"You better not throw up on my ship." Carol chuckled at the response.
"Approaching jump in 3, 2, 1." Nebula counted down as everyone gripped onto their seats and braced themselves.
They reached the planet rather quickly with no one throwing up.
Carol then excited the shift and headed to the planet to have a scan.
Steve looked at his compass which had a photo of Peggy in.
"Is that Peggy?" Nish asked also looking at the photo. Steve looked to her and confirmed her question with a nod. "Bucky told us about her and you." She then chuckled to herself. "He would always talk about how confused you were when she gave the signals and you were oblivious and needed him to help." Steve also chuckled at the story.
He closed the compass and put it in his pocket.
"This is gonna work Steve." Nat said in reassurance.
"I know it will." He looked to Nat. " Because I don't know what I'm gonna do if it doesn't."
Carol then came back with an update. She explained how he was on his own. This lead to everyone heading to the planet.
Carol attacked first followed by Rhodey and Bruce to restrain him. Thor then charged in and cut off the arm that wore the gauntlet. Steve then entered followed by Nat, Nish, Rocket and Nebula.
Rocket turned over the gauntlet as Nish looked over.
"Oh, no." Rocket mumbled looking up at Nish.
"Where are they?" She whispered knowing what he had done but still not accepting it.
"Where are they?" Steve asked the question in a more firm tone directly to Thanos.
"Answer the question." Carol demanded whilst tightening her hold around his neck.
"The universe required correction. After that, the stones served no purpose, beyond temptation." Thanos strained.
"You murdered trillions!" Bruce shouted getting angrily and shoved him to the floor.
"You should be grateful." Thanos replied with force.
"Where are the stones?" Nat asked with tears in her eyes already knowing the answer.
"Gone." He said with certainty.
That was all Nish needed to hear before she ran out of the hut.
She ran until she eventually collapsed onto the ground. She let out a scream of agony as she cried. Reality had hit her. They weren't coming back and she would never be able to join them.
Nat followed Nish and dried her eyes, she needed to be strong for the vulnerable girl. Steve slowly walked behind Nat to make sure nothing bad happened.
Nish could sense Nat's presence so waited until she was next to her. She then reached for Nat's knife causing Steve to sprint. Before anyone could take the knife off her she stabbed herself where her heart is. Nat immediately caught her body and placed it on the ground just as Steve reached them. Nish let out a painful sob. The pain wasn't because of the knife that pierced her heart, but it was because of the emotional pain from the loss of the only two people she loved.
"Why would you do that?" Nat asked in a panic tone still not knowing that she heals quickly.
"It did nothing." Nish said as she took out the knife. Steve immediately snatched the knife away from her.
"Don't do something like that again." Steve said in frustration. He had promised Bucky that he would take care of Nish and Raz if anything happened to him.
"It won't make a difference." Nish whispered. Nat watched in astonishment as the wound healed up.
"Nish you can't act out like this." Steve said still not knowing about her quick healing. "We all lost somebody..."
"Well I lost everyone!" She yelled getting up and coming face to face with Steve. She may have been a lot shorter than him but she was intimidating.
"In 100 years time, all of you will be dead!" She noticed the crowd that had formed around her consisting of everyone that was in the ship. She turned around and continued to face all of them. "You won't have to mourn anyone cause you'll be with them." She gulped down a lump in her throat. "I will still be here wandering the world still mourning for the loss of the ones I love. I was cursed by HYDRA to never die. I can't die of old age. I can't throw myself off a cliff or building. I can't suffocate or drown myself. I can't even stab myself to death!" She gestured to the healed wound that was surrounded by blood. "So you all may have lost somebody but at least you'll see them again soon when you die, but not me. I'm cursed to walk the Universe for eternity."
Nobody made any attempt to move. They were shocked by the outburst. They couldn't even look her in the eye.
"I accepted that I could never die because I knew I would always have Raz. But he's gone so now I'll be alone for eternity." She whispered before she shoved past everyone and went straight to the spaceship. She didn't want to be here anymore. She wanted to be with Raz and Bucky but she couldn't.
They all watched as Nish boarded the spaceship. "Living forever really is a curse isn't it." Carol broke the silence. "She can't exactly make friends or have a family." She then left for the ship with everyone else following her except Steve and Nat.
"We need to keep an eye on her." Nat stated. "She's an assassin without her anchor, she'll do as she pleases because she has nothing to lose. Not even her life."
Steve nodded in agreement. "We'll have to make sure she stays in line."
They both walked back in silence towards the ship.
It was going to be an awkward ride.
