Chapter One

Scottie was getting dressed in the locker room. She wore a simple suit that was black and white. Scottie left the locker room and outside she was met with Natasha and Clint waiting for her.
"You ready?" Clint asked, "Yea, ready." She says... the three of them walk out to the control room of the ship. "He's in Manhattan, we'll drop you three off there and you will find him, bring him here, question him, then kill him. Understand?" Fury asks. The three nod and wait for them to be dropped off. The three sat while they waited... Scottie was anxious, she hadn't faced her Father in only a few months. "You okay, kid?" Clint asks her, "Yea... I'm fine." Scottie replies.
Scottie's leg shook while she waited. She was afraid, scared of her Father.
"Aren't you all powerful? Can't you just snap him into oblivion?" Natasha asked her... "Where's the fun in that?" Scottie replies, "It saves us time, and work. This job is not about fun, we take down secret organizations, we take down bad people. It is not fun." Natasha says. "Why so serious? I know what I'm getting into, but that is my Father we're about to take down. My Father is a bad man, I know that..."

"Then get rid of him from right here."

"No."

Fury then walked up to them, "We're about to reach the drop. Everyone ready?" He asks.
"Ready." Scottie replies.

Year 2006

Scottie sat in her living room... she watched her tv. . She ate cereal from the box and just waited. Soon she hears shuffling coming from her bedroom. Scottie stood up and cautiously made her way to her bedroom. She opens the door and finds Clint and Natasha coming through her window. "I have a door, you know?" She says. "Yea, but where's the fun in that?" Natasha says... "It's been 3 years since we last saw each other. What're you doing here?" Scottie asked... "We wanted to check up on you." Clint replied.
"Oh... I see. Well I wasn't expecting you to come through my bedroom window."

"Speaking of which, how are you holding up, kid?" "I'm fine. I'm good... I've been doing some even more underground things for SHIELD."
"I didn't know you were still working for them."

Scottie signaled them to follow her to the living room, they followed her.
"Nice place you got, Scoot." Natasha said, sitting on her couch. "Yea, well it's just side work. So, other than checking up on me... what else are you here for?" Scottie asks. "Nothing else. We're your friends, can't we just check up on you?" Clint asks.

Suddenly, Scottie hears a faint whistling sound coming from outside. "Where did you guys come from before this?" Scottie asked, getting up and looking out the window. "We just came from a mission, why?" Clint asks. "Don't you hear that whistling sound?"
"No. Scoot, what's coming?" Natasha asks once again. "A missile. Get down!"

Scottie pushes Natasha behind the couch, and Clint jumps over it. The missile flies through the window and explodes on impact... "Everyone okay?!" Scottie asks, getting up.. The other two lift their heads... "My... my everything." Scottie says, walking around the damaged apartment. "Oh my god..." Natasha mumbles. "Scoot, we're so sorry." Clint says... walking over to her. "You didn't think to check if they saw you? Are you serious right now, Clint?" Scottie continued to look around her apartment. She looks out of the broken window, "Where was this mission?" Scottie asks, looking back at the two, "Not far from here." Clint says, "Scoot, what're you thinking?" Natasha says... walking up to Scottie and placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Just a talk. All I want is just to talk." Scottie replies... "You said the same thing 3 years ago when Yulteo killed your father... and guess where he is now." Natasha says... "Just a talk."
Scottie then flew out the window.

Natasha and Clint looked at each other... "Well, that's that." Clint says, "We've gotta go after her." Natasha says, about to head out the door. "We can't stop her, Nat. No one can. Plus, it's an easy way out from going back there tomorrow. She gets them so we don't have to. Easy peasy." Clint stops Natasha from going out the door. "Clint, move. Scoot doesn't know what she's getting herself into. These people are stronger than just a couple of mercenaries." "I know. But she can handle them. I'm sure she'll call us if things get too bad. So, let's just wait, and clean this place up in the meantime." Clint says... walking away from Natasha and starts picking things up from the ground.

Scottie flies her way from where the missile came from. She places herself down in front of the base. "I knew it." She says, looking at one of the cars that was sitting outside of the base... it read 'HYDRA'. "Damn it... they're here a lot sooner than I thought they'd be." She says, walking to the gates. There she was met with a couple of guards. "Stop. What's your business here?" One of the guards stopped her. "You blew up my house. I'm here to repay the favor." She says, a small smile forming on her face. Scottie flicked her wrist and the guard went flying... "Put your hands up!" Another guard yells at her, pointing his gun at Scottie. "You don't wanna do this." Scottie says... turning his way. "Hands up now!" Scottie sighed and flicked her wrist... any other guards started firing at her. Scottie at this point had bullet holes in her body. "I liked this outfit." She says... snapping and the other guards blowing up from the ground. Scottie walked into the base. Her wounds healed... Many other guards tried to attack her. She blew them all up, or snapped them out of existence.

Scottie finally made her way to where the boss stayed. "Jester. Why are you here?" He says... "So you know me. Good. Then you know what I'm gonna do to you." Scottie says... stepping closer to the man's desk. "Yes. Do tell, what have I done to make you come?"
"You blew up my apartment. See, I do know I can just snap and it'll all come back, but where's the fun in that?" "Then you come to get your revenge, all because I blew up your home. Reasonable. But you do know I did not mean to target you, yes?" "Yea. I know. But over the past three years I've become less... merciful. So, I'm gonna make sure you feel what I did when you blew up my place." "How do you plan to do that?" "Like this." Scottie put her hand up... the man then started choking... brain matter starts coming out of his head... blood from his eyes.
"Just like this." She says... the man starts slowly going in and out of consciousness before finally dying... a very slow death.

Scottie puts her hands down... she turns around, about to head out. There, Natasha and Clint stand. "Scoot, what happened to just talking?" Natasha asks, "We did talk, until he couldn't no more. If you had come sooner, maybe his brain wouldn't be on the ground right now."
"Well, we can;t exactly fly as quick as you, or teleport away." Clint jokes. "But thanks for... dealing with this though, Fury will be mad." "Fury's gone. He's not coming back." Scottie says, walking past them and leaving the base.
