Yelena shoves the red dust into her bag as the sisters spot the red lasers from the sights of the widow's guns moving around. She and Aleks slowly peek through the doorway and spot two in the living room.

The two make a run for it across the hall and the widows shoot at them. Natasha grabs them and pulls them to her. Yelena turns the knob on the wall and small explosions go off around the apartment.

The three sisters emerge from their spot and attack the widow's, knocking them to the ground before running outside. Natasha peeks outside and the other widow's stationed there begin firing at her. Aleks and Yelena glance down the stairs and are also shot at.

"Where are we trying to get?" Natasha asks as Yelena leads the way up the stairs.

"Motorbikes! East side of the building." She replies, dodging the bullets shot at them from the sniper positioned on a nearby building. They jump out onto the roof from a nearby window, running along the rooftop as a widow pursues them.

The sisters come to a stop as they reach the edge of the roof, grabbing onto the chimney attached to the side of it. They look back at the widow as she nears, and Yelena quickly removes the latches keeping it connected to the building.

They tighten their grip and kick off from the roof, but the widow jumps for it. She makes it but starts to slide, so Natasha grabs her wrist.

"I got you!" She tells the widow. She ignores her and unsheathes the knife in her suit, slicing at her. She twists and her wrist slips from Natasha's hold. She screams as she falls, slamming to the ground below them. 

As the chimney crashes into the building, Yelena is tossed through the window and Natasha and Aleks fall below. They both manage to land on their feet, clutching their sides from where they hit as they fell. Natasha approaches the widow on the ground as Aleks checks her ribs, finding that none are broken, only bruised.

"Hey. Don't move. You're hurt. Let us help you." Natasha tells the woman. She ignores her, raising her arm and activating her widow bite. She aims at Natasha before shaking her head as she begins turning the weapon on herself.

"I don't wanna do this." She sobs.

"What are you doing?" She asks.

"He's making me." She replies before her weapon fires, instantly killing her. Natasha kneels next to her body and stares at her for a moment. Yelena joins them in the courtyard, spotting Aleks clutching her ribs.

"Are you okay?" She asks her twin.

"I'm fine. Nothing broken." Aleks answers. Yelena nods, relieved for a moment before she spots the dead widow. She slowly slides the vial of red dust back with the others.

"Do you believe me now?" She asks Natasha.

"How many others?" She asks.

"Enough." She tells her, running back the way she came.

"It's powerful, Natasha. I have no memory of the last two years and even Yelena didn't know that I wasn't truly myself for those years." Aleks says before following her twin. 

Natasha joins them a moment later and they start running down the street, keeping an eye on their surroundings.

"Which one's yours?" She asks as they near the motorbikes parked.

"Black. Brown seat. Where are my keys?" Yelena answers. Natasha tosses the keys in the air, catching them in her hand before climbing on the bike. Aleks chuckles from her own bike and Yelena glares at her before calling Natasha a bitch in Russian.

"Any day now." She tells her after a car is launched through the intersection next to them.

Yelena climbs on behind her and she and Aleks rev the bikes. They speed down the street, the armored car following them. A car skids to a stop in front of them and they turn, Natasha taking the lead as they drive through the small side street.
