The Winter Soldier and the Waitress

Chapter 11

Fuck the Avengers!

Fuck this fucking compound that was supposed to be so safe.

To say Grace was upset was an understatement. When she received the news that Trey was missing, she went to her compound apartment and closed the door. She got dressed, not sure where she was going, but she would be ready. When she stepped out of her apartment, she stopped at the sight of Natasha who seemed to be the only one there.

Natasha looked over the woman who was currently wearing all black, from her shoes to her pants, and hoodie that she covered with a black leather jacket. Her curly hair was slicked back into a tight ponytail. After a moment of silent staring, Grace moved around Natasha and continued down the hall.

"You can't do this alone!" Natasha called after her, but Grace didn't stop walking. "You can't do this when you don't even know where you're going. Let us help you with that."

That was true. Grace has no idea where she was going, and so she stopped walking, and let out a huff before turning to Natasha.

"Do you know where my son is?"

"No, but I think I know where to start."

Natasha lead Grace to Tony's lab. When they stepped inside, they found Tony and Steve who both turned when they walked in. Grace looked from the men to Natasha with an expectant look. Natasha let out a snort before nudging her head. Grace followed Natasha to some kind of glass meeting room within the lab.

"FRIDAY, open the footage from the containment sector taken earlier today."

Soon a holographic screen appeared on one of the glass walls, paused on the still image of Faith sitting on a cot. Grace took a step forward, her eyes looking at her sister.

"The only thing I got from the conversation was that Faith Harris has one goal, and that's to hurt you." Natasha said, but Grace didn't say anything. "But I don't know her as well as you do, maybe there's something else we aren't seeing."

"I haven't seen this woman in nine years." Grace couldn't take her eyes off of her sister. "Then she kidnapped me and now she may have taken my son." Grace looked over to Natasha. "I don't know who that woman is."

"She's your sister. Whether you believe it or not, no one in this entire world knows her better than you. Because you've seen her before she became that." Natasha nudged her head to the image. "Watch it, see if you see or hear something we didn't." Grace turned back to the image. "I'll give you some privacy."

Natasha left the room, walking over to Tony and Steve who still kept their eyes on Grace as she stood still staring at the image.

"Are we sure this was a good idea?" Steve asked the question once again. He looked over to Natasha and then Tony. "This just feels-she just found out her son was taken. I just think we should be giving her time and space while we figure this out."

"She was leaving when I found her." Natasha replied still looking over to the woman before turning to Steve. "She isn't waiting for us to save her son. Hell she probably doesn't even think we can. So if we don't keep an eye on her, I'm pretty sure she's going to try to handle this by herself."

The door to the lab opened and in walked Bucky who walked over to the others before he followed their eyes, now noticing Grace in the glass meeting room.

"What's going on?" Bucky walked over to stand with the others. "I thought I said to leave her alone."

"Yeah, well she was on her way out of here when I found her." Natasha turned to Bucky. "She's looking at the video of Faith." she turned to Tony. "You get anything from the cameras?"
