Second Romanoff (An Aos story)

Wake up

FIVE DAYS AGO

"...Sorry. Didn't think you'd get stuck on a milk run to Radcliffe's. We're gonna miss you in the field" Hunter replied.

"I'll catch up. Can't let you have all the fun" Winter told him.

"When this is over, it's time, we are cracking that bottle"

"Wait...the bottle?" She asked, and he nodded. "You still have that? I thought we lost that"

"I've had it the whole time"

"Don't die out there, ok?" Winter told him, he nodded and walked on to the Quinjet, She was about it walk away when she heard Radcliffe.

"Agent Blood" Radcliffe said and walked over to her "Director Mace...he- he knows that Aida is...what Aida is?"

"Yeah. He knows" Winter answered.

"I wish I'd been there to explain" He replied and sighed "H- How did he take it?"

"He wants to use her on this, but concerned"

"Concerned. That's not a happy word. Did- did he say if-"

"He wants to talk, has questions" Winter responded cutting him off.

"I don't like those words, either. I heard you're on your way to personally escort Aida. Why?" He asked.

"Well, no one knows what she can do. And she saw the Darkhold"

"Well, I could help with that. Once I've studied it, I-I'd be able to determine-"

"No. No. No one's touching it. When this is over, I'm destroying the book myself"

"Because it's dangerous, yeah" Radcliffe said "I-I-I understand, you still need access to my apartment. Maybe I could, uh-"

"No, that's never been a problem for me" Winter replied.

"Right, right, right. Well, I'll reach out to Aida, anyway, tell her to expect you. Be ready to help solve the current...problem"

"...sure" and she walked away.

...

"Hello, Agent Blood. I've been expecting you" Aida told her, opening the door "Dr. Radcliffe gave me specific instructions. Happy to help" Well Winter glanced around Radcliffe office "Allow me to retrieve the neural-assessment gauge" Aida grabbed a injected off the table well Winter had her back turned.

"What's a neural-assessment gauge?" Winter asked, turning around, Aida grabbed her arm and injected her with the fluid. Winter stumbled and fell to the floor. A door opened in the office revealing a robot version of Winter.

"I apologize, Agent Blood" Aida said to her, Winter glanced up to her and Aida punched her in the face, knocking Winter back hitting her head on the floor.

ONE DAY AGO

~Winter's pov~

I opened my eyes, I looked around the room, it looked like a spa? The door opened and a man walked in "Hope you liked your facial, Winter. It's time for your massage. Ready?" The man asked.

"I don't remember coming here" I answered slightly concerned.

"You dozed off. Obviously, you're very relaxed. That's good" He told me.

"Yeah, I don't think I have time for this" I replied, I got off of the bed "Thanks" and walked out.

...

I opened my eyes, I looked around the room, i was in the same room as before, the door opened again and the same guy walked in "Hope you liked your massage, Winter, it's time for your facial"
