16- Scepter snatch

(EIW: i actually have no clue when AUO takes place so if it's wrong ignore it. happy reading!!)

April 2015

Irena held onto the Land Rover's railings the best she could to avoid getting flung out of the vehicle while she fired her gun at any men who were in front of them. She, Natasha, and Clint Barton were zipping through the forests of Sokovia on a mission to retrieve Loki's scepter which was being held deep in a secret HYDRA base.

Irena technically wasn't supposed to be on the mission as every adult on the team agreed it was too dangerous but seeing as though Irena had never backed down from a fight, had more than enough experience, and she refused to stay home, here she was.

It wasn't that people didn't think she couldn't hold her own; she was enhanced after all, and they'd all seen her fight in training. It was that no one wanted her in harm's way, especially Natasha.

Natasha was dead set on not allowing Irena to come along on the mission but seeing as though Irena wasn't comfortable staying at anyone else's house without Natasha, and she didn't want her to be at the compound alone, Irena made it on the manifest for the plane to the country.

Beams of blue light flew past them as they sharply turned every which way every second or two. Irena shot with impeccable aim at everything in sight. Another land rover was hot on their trail, pointing a large gun-looking device at Clint. When Natasha looked away from the wheel for a second to kick away a guard with a jet pack, the opposing car had already caught up to them.

"Nat behind-" Irena started before she noticed Thor land on top of the car and swat the men off it with his hammer like they were harmless flies.

"Oh." She said while she watched Thor jump from the car onto a watch tower, sending men flying off the sides and landing harshly on the ground.

As they approached the center of the fight where Tony, Steve, Thor, and Bruce were, Natasha swerved the car slightly to its left.

"Be ready to jump!" Nat alerted the girl who quickly let go of the rail and pulled a second gun from her holster.

Nat continued to drive straight before taking a sharp turn to the right giving the trio enough momentum to jump right out and into battle. As Irena jumped she fired both her guns and kicked a man in the face before she landed.

Irena quickly began to follow Natasha who ran off quickly after they jumped. She watched Nat throw a grenade into a remaining car which was followed by a man desperately trying to jump out in time before it blew up. He ultimately failed.

"Nice aim!" Irena yelled to Nat while she punched a man in the face.

"Thanks, Doll." Natasha winked before she swung her legs over a man's chest to make her way to his neck to perform the crotch throat choke. With that movement alone she was able to bring down two guards at the same time followed by a sickening crunch that was all too familiar to the girls.

"At long last is lasting a little long boys." Natasha mocked as Irena shot a gunman behind them. "Nice work kid." Nat praised.

"Thanks." She breathed out a reply.

From somewhere around them Clint had spoken into his ear comm that all of them had so they could communicate. "Yeah, I think we lost the element of surprise." He stated the obvious.

Irena liked Clint, he was one of Nat's close friends and funny. Being funny was a plus to Irena though because if Nat liked him, she liked him too.

"You think?" Irena scoffed in response.
