Dani had been thrown in a cell without food or water for a week. It was cold without any heater(not a good thing in Russia during the Winter), but if you touched the bars your hands burn. She had also had an hour of just getting tortured by all kinds of items. Sometimes a whip which was charged with electricity and hard blades rather than the normal one, sometimes a drill, sometimes a knife and sometimes even a gun. It just depended on what Madame B was feeling.
All, because Dani felt the need to serve justice, which of course isn't tolerated there. When the girl came out she seemed more quiet and her face is completely neutral with no emotion whatsoever. She was alive though. A survivor. All of the Black Widows remaining are.
Dani didn't eat the whole day, but rather trained restlessly. Natasha and Yelena had been worried about her condition. At night Dani couldn't sleep. She thought about Acacia. What if the girl didn't make it? What if she died? Russia was a big place and can be hard to leave.
She groans and gives up. The redhead then pulls out a key she hid in her shirt. This key had been stolen cleverly by her during her time in the torture chamber with Madame B. No one caught her. She then spots the number on it. 287456B. That must be the cabinet where the files are hidden in. Each cabinet containing files organized by a topic has a key that corresponding to it. This must be horrible stuff if she managed to slip it from Madame B herself.
The girl makes sure the cost is clear before carefully walking ball to heel, not making a sound. Normally people walk heel to ball, which makes noise, but a sharp mind and years of ballet training taught her to do the opposite.
Dani goes to where the Red Room's files are and pulls out a flashlight. She has a bunch of things that she stole on missions, which Dreykov wasn't aware of. Dani flashes the light in the dim room and reads the numbers of all of the cabinets. She realized how many actually were there until she came across the number she is looking for. The Red Widow then puts the flashlight in her other hand and grabs the key.
Dani then put the key in the lock hole and clicked it open. Inside she found around 10 files all labeled around mind control. She took the files and snuck out back to her room to read them.
What Dani found out shocked her.

She is hardly able to sleep when the sun creeps out from her dorm window. The redhead sneaks out once more to Grace's dorm. She then gently shakes her mother figure.
Grace stirs awake to find the little girl. "What are you doing here?" She whispers in shock. The woman didn't seem mad, just frustrated. Dani flinches at Grace's tone and the woman frowns. "Forgive me, why have you come to me, Mäuschen?" She asks gently.
Dani hands the files. Grace reads them and pales. Dani sighs. "Dreykov plans to use chemically subjugate the Widows." She paused "He doesn't want us to have choices, he wants full control. It's why he sent Melina Vostokoff and Alexi Shostakov to get brain research... and used Natalia, Yelena and I to not look suspicious." She mumbles and Grace gently rubs her back.
"It's going to be alright, little one. I'll figure something out." Grace says softly. "Can I maybe help?" Dani asks with pleading eyes. "Please." The girl adds. The older woman hesitates before smiling "I don't see why not. Come on."
The two go to another cabinet. No one seems to really take notice. Grace pulls out a key and unlocks a lock. Dani finds there, so many items relating to science. Beakers, syringes, various liquids and more. Grace takes some of the items.
The two assassins then go back to the burnette's room and Grace takes a deep breath before getting to work. "How can I help?" Dani asks with big eyes.
"Pass me the beaker and the black liquid." Dani nods and gives her the items. She pours a bit of the black liquid into a petrie dish. "The red powder and a syringe." Dani nods and complies. She notices her pour a bit of the red powder in the petrie dish and smirks when the two mix to become what appears to be a red dust.
She smiles at the little girl. "You and I have created a sort of antidote to Dreykov's madness." She then ruffles Dani's hair. The woman pours the said antidote into various vials, one of these, Dani secretly takes, without Grace's watchful eye.
She then returns to train the little widows.
