Tsunami (Avengers Fanfic)

Chapter 7

*DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything but Arabella*

Bella, Natasha, and Bruce were thrown on the lower maintenance levels. Bruce was hulking out while Natasha and Bella were stuck under the debris from the explosion.

"Doctor... Bruce, you gotta fight it." Natasha says to Banner struggling to get free.

"This is just what Loki wants. We're gonna be okay. Listen to me." Arabella continued. Two approaching SHIELD soldiers arrive to check on them. Natasha furiously waves them away. They bolt out of there. Bella grabbed a pole that was laying close and starts prying the slab of concrete off of them.

"We're gonna be okay. Right? I swear on my life I will get you out of this, you will walk away, and never..." Natasha picks up while Bella continues to pry the concrete off.

Bella stops long enough to mutter " Wrong question." Natasha glared at her.

"Your life?" His voice has the change in it -- the bitter amusement is morphing to a growled threat. Another explosion rocks the carrier -- and he turns to look at them, transforming just as the lights go out.

"Bruce." Natasha pleaded. Banner suddenly starts transforming into the Hulk, giving them one last knowing look. Natasha and Bella struggles free of the rubble as Bella finally gets it far enough up. The Hulk, sensing them, turns his head and puts on a face of a disturbed monster. Natasha and Bella rushing up the stairs with the Hulk chasing after them. She rolls under a turbine, starts to crawl within the maze of pipes. The Hulk pulls them out from above the catwalk.

Bella gets an idea and turns to Natasha. "Hide I know a way to distract him." Natasha nods and falls through under the catwalks and quickly and stealthily hides. Bella turns to the Hulk and controls the steam coming from the pipes. The steam hits the Hulk in the face and he lets out a roar of rage.

Bella rolls under the catwalk with Natasha just as Thor tackled the Hulk into the next room. Just as Bella caught her breath the comm link buzzed. "It's Barton.It's Barton. He took out our systems. He's headed for the detention level. Does anybody copy?" they heard Fury say.

"This is Agent Romanoff, I'm with Tsunami. We're on our way." Natasha said. With that the two of them sprung into action.

*********TIME SKIP*********

Black Widow and Tsunami walked above the catwalk that Barton was on quietly. As quick as lightning, Barton knocked an arrow and pointed it at Tsunami. She engages hand-to-hand combat with him. Black Widow comes into the fight after a few minuets to give Tsunami a break. After Black Widow knocks Barton's bow away he pulls a knife out. As he puts the Widow on the floor Tsunami steps in. After a few minuets of hand-to-hand he gets an advantage by pulling her hair. As he put his arm under her throat to put her in a choke hold Tsunami bites him, Barton lets her go and steps back. Black Widow sweeps his feet out from under him. Barton was getting up when Tsunami hits him over the head with a pole. As he was getting his bearings he saw the Widow and mumbles " Natasha..." Before he can do anything else Natasha kicks him in the head, knocking him unconscious.

Bella looks at Natasha and she shrugs. "We didn't know if he was still under Loki's influence or not." Bella laughs and nods her head. " Come on. Lets get him to the infirmary." At that Bella nodded and helped.

*********TIME SKIP*********

Bella decides to stay with Natasha to keep her company. For a while they sat in silence. But Natasha broke it by asking, "How did you learn to fight like that?"

"I... I used to live on the streets, I have been since I was younger. There is a lot of gangs in the cities. I learned how to defend myself from a couple of the nicer ones, those ones knew how I felt because they have had similar experiences." she replied looking away. "My parents died when I was ten. I went to an orphanage but they didn't have time for the amount of kids they had there, they couldn't keep all of them in line and after a while they found out I could control water they bullied me and after it got to far I left. I lived on the streets until Charles found me. While on the way to the mansion he explained I was a mutant. I have lived at the mansion since I was 15."

"Oh." Natasha said.

"You don't have treat me different because you know that I know about the Red Room. I know what they do to the people in there but I don't know if it is true or not. What information is true or not 'cause most of what I have came from rumors." she said to Natasha. " We have had similar experiences if you think about it.

Before Natasha could reply Clint groaned letting them know he was awake. As they stood to check on him he tried to rub his forehead but found his wrists were cuffed to the bed. He groaned again shaking his head trying to shake off the last bit of mind control. "Clint, you're gonna be alright." Natasha said walking towards him. Bella stayed back letting them have their moment.

"I don't understand. Have you ever had someone take your brain and play? Pull you out and send something else in? Do you know what it's like to be unmade?" Clint snapped at her.

" You know that I do." she replied calmly.

"Why am I back? How did you get him out?" Clint asked her.

"Cognitive recalibration. We hit you really hard on the head." she answered his question.

"We?"

Natasha looked back at Bella, who at that point was entertaining herself by playing with water with her powers. "She helped." Natasha replied nodding her head towards her.

Bella looked up feeling like she was being watched. "Uh... Hi."

Natasha chuckles at her and she glares before laughing as well. Clint stared at them like they grew another head before he smiled and cleared his throat " uh.. Thanks."

Bella replied with a "You gotcha." and a wink while Natasha took off the restraints.

"Tasha, how many agents?" Clint asked.

"Don't. Don't do that to yourself, Clint. This is Loki. This is monsters and magic and nothing we were ever trained for." Natasha said sternly.

"Loki, he got away?" Clint asked.

"Yeah. I don't suppose you know where?" Bella asked him.

"I didn't need to know. I didn't ask. He's gonna make his play soon though. Today." Clint said after looking at her.

"We gotta stop him." Natasha said.

"Yeah? Who's we?" Clint asked.

"Don't know. Whoever's left." Bella stated.

"Well, if I put an arrow in Loki's eye socket, I'd sleep better I suppose." Clint replied to that statement.

"Now you sound like you." Natasha said as she sits next to him

"But you don't. You're a spy, not a soldier. Now you want to wade into a war. Why? What did Loki do to you?" Clint asked her.

"He didn't, I just..." she started before pausing.

"Natasha." Clint starts.

"I've been compromised. I got red in my ledger. I'd like to wipe it out." Natasha stated.
