Whatever It Takes

chapter 6

Alex and Lucas were now on a trip, courtesy of Lucas's dad who had a meeting in Hungary, Budapest to be more specific. "Listen I'm just sayin' that you should become a superhero, go to the Avengers or some shit, man." Lucas told her as they walked around Szabadság Square, taking in the not-so fresh air of the Hungarian capital. "Listen, I would but-" She got cut off by a loud explosion to their left, multiple women in black suits surrounding the building. 

"Uhh, Alex, you might wanna do some of that superhero shit." Alex stood quiet as two women, not in suits, jumped off a pipe, the woman on top falling down. "ALEX C'MON." Lucas shook her by the shoulders, prompting the girl to look around first, seeing everyone in the park focused on the blaze atop of the Plaza, then dashing towards the backyard of the building. She skidded to a stop in the deep rain puddle, as the woman in the suit brung her hand up, shooting herself in the head with a red device around her wrist, her head slumping to the right. 

A/N: so i'm rewatching the movie as i type along, and dreykov had a fucking nokia, no wonder they never tracked his ass down, bro had the ultimate phone

The redhead fell to her knees next to the woman's head, looking down at the carnage that happened to her. Another woman came running out of the doorway on her left, halting when she saw the dead girl in the water. "Do you believe me now?" She said, putting a red vial back into place, as the redhead turned her head sideways, her profile visible to the New Yorker. It was, of course, the only redhead she could think about for the past few months. Natasha Romanoff, the famed Black Widow, but most importantly, her mother, was standing, or rather kneeling, a few meters infront of her.

"How many others?" She asked, looking up at a blonde, who replied "Enough." as she turned around to the exit, noticing Alex while in the process of turning. She immediatley pulled her gun up, "Who are you?" was the first thing out of her mouth. "I'm... not a bad guy?", the woman glared at her a little bit harder, "I was in the park and heard all that and came to help. Really, that's all I am, a simple tourist." Natasha got up from the water as a shot rang out, hitting the spot a few meters away. She looked into her eyes, "Can you run?" 

Alex grinned despite the situation, if there was anything she was good at, it was running. "Hell yeah I can, watch this." She said, speeding up around the court. Both women had a suprised expression painted on their faces, that was replaced with a serious one soon after another shot landed in the water. "Okay then, meet us at the back of the building." Alex nodded, deciding she had enought time to go to Lucas and tell him what's going on. "Dude just go. I'll cover for you." He patted her shoulder blade, sending the girl running to the parking lot that was apparently where the two women sat on a bike. 

She was just about to ask, 'What now?' but a car flying through the air stopped her from even uttering the phrase. A tank drifted into the alley, as the Avenger started up the bike. She looked to the suprised girl, "GET ON!", she yelled as the tank started to chase them. Alex found a bit of space behind the other blonde, lathcing onto her waist as they drove through the Budapest streets, while being chased by a tank. 

They managed to not get hit by a tram by a centimeter, but Alex felt popping behind her. They got the tires. As Natasha lost control of the bike, the three of them fell off the bike, and down into traffic. Alex managed to land somewhat safely, seeing the Avenger land the same way, while the other blonde didn't have such luck. "Hogy vagy?!" (Are you okay?) A guy, whose car they apparently landed on asked when they got up, the other blonde immediatley pointing a gun at him. "Fantasztikus." (Fantastic.) 

Natasha grabbed Alex by the forearm, as the blonde began getting into the car. "You can't just steal a guys' car!" The other blonde sat in the seat, "So you want me to chase him down and un-steal it?" Alex snickered lightly to herself, before she was thrown back and to the side by Natasha's non-existent getting out of a parallel park skills. "Okay, any time now please." The other blonde complained as Alex put her seat belt on, the Romanov telling her to shut up.
