Thirty-Five

*Flashback to the night before at the farmhouse*

'Ok, so here is the information you asked for..'... Laura hands over the files to Liv, as she gets access to Tonys servers.

'Thanks Laura..'.. She smiles at the woman, and then glances over to Clint on the phone... 'Do you think I'm crazy for doing this?..'.. Laura sits down at the table opposite her.

'I think the whole idea is crazy, but I know you Liv, you've always had a plan..'.. Laura grabbed the wine off the unit behind her, and topped up Livs glass... 'The others still don't know?..'

'That I remember? No, they don't and for now, I need to play it that way. Especially if this is going to work..'.. Liv sighed, as she used Friday as a lockpick into the government system, setting crumbs for Hydra..'.. 'I will make sure the others are safe, especially Bucky. If they get a hold of him, I don't want to think about what would happen with my powers. I caused a localised earthquake, who's to say it won't be worse than that?..'

'Its all set up..'... Clint comes over, and sits down at the end of the table... 'What else do you need?..'.. She smiles at him.

'See, I spend some time here with you, and you triggered my memories, yet that lot, especially Tony thought it best to have me stay home, second guessing..'.. She shook her head, and sipped her wine, looking at Laura... 'You sure you are ok to do this? I don't want you in danger..'

Laura folded her arms on the table and leaned forward... 'You forgot I'm ex SHIELD already? I can do this, and I can be in and out, faster than him..'.. She jerked a thumb to Clint.

'Ok, I've set up access for you, if anyone is to remain at the compound, they'll be locked in their rooms, until I I deactivate the protocol..'.. She turns to Clint... 'Please don't miss. It might be our only shot, and I really don't want to be a Hydra puppet..'

'I have never missed..'.. She gave him a look... 'That was a shot I didn't take, not that I missed..'.. He chuckled.

'Fair point. Be honest with me Clint..'.. Liv sighed... 'Do you think this is crazy, stupid and reckless?..'

'Yes, but you are so much stronger than you believe. If I thought for a moment, this wouldn't work, I'd have called the others into help by now, or tried to talk you out of it. Considering the two options, you wouldn't listen anyway..'... He shrugged, picking up his beer.

Liv smirked at him... 'You know me so well. Ok, so let's go over it, one more time..'

------------------------------------------------------------

Liv was glad to have her hair down, covering the earpieces she had. She was thankful to discreetly discard her drinks, remaining aware, but keeping up the act. Her gaze flicked around, keeping a look out as her lens ran facial recognition. She knew Laura was already in the compound, running base there, after she had slipped sleeping gas, into the vents that ran throughout the place. Steve and Tony were going to be seriously pissed.

Clint was in the shadows on one of the roofs, across from the bar, with the zip wires in place, keeping look out. She hated that she had slipped each one of them a sleeping drug, needing the situation to look like they couldn't handle their drinks, and she was teleporting them home, before returning. Bucky and Loki were the only ones she hadn't drugged, not yet. She had planned this down to the seconds, even the scenarios where it could go wrong, as well as back up plans.

After being out for 3 hours, everyone except her, Bucky and Loki remained. She now needed to get them to the back of the club, to the office, knowing it was only one way in, and out. Swaying her hips against Bucky, and running her hand down Lokis front, she took each of their hands in hers, taking them with her.
