Red Room

RR 39 Serene

After the little fight in the parking lot between Darcy and the thug, Bobbi brought them to one of her safehouses that even SHIELD didn't know about. The small room was barren save for a bed, computer, and a microwave on the counter, but that was it. The two stayed there for the next day and they got along a little better. The two women were just so much alike that their attitudes clashed every now and then. Plus, neither of them liked sitting around doing nothing.

Bobbi fiddled with the computer a few times leaving little clues online for Skye to be able to find them. The plan had been to call Darcy but now that her phone met an early demise, this was their only option. Being the agent she was, Bobbi ditched her phone as well when she learned that Tony was after them.

After another day of waiting, they finally got a message. Skye had hacked into the computer and sent them a recorded video message telling them where Natasha was suspected to be. She also got a jet for them and fiddled with the flight logs, making them untraceable on their journey. Skye wished them luck and the two women took off.

A few hours into the flight though with Bobbi in the pilot's seat, Darcy opened her big mouth to break the silence.

"So why do you need a vacation away from Hunter? Aren't you guys supposed to be in love or something?"

Bobbi's face hardened as she answered. "You have your secrets and I have mine."

"Come on Barbie, at least tell me something! Did he cheat on you? Forget an anniversary?"

Darcy realized she had pushed too far when she was shot the death glare, but she just had to know. "Come onnnn..."

"Why the hell should I tell you anything when you won't tell me anything? Besides, its personal and you wouldn't understand anyways," Bobbi barked at the brunette, cutting her off.

"But this is different..."

"Different how Darcy? You have no idea what this is even about. You are just upset because there is something that you don't know and its killing you to find out. You wouldn't care if I told you, you just want to be in the know."

That hurt; Darcy was just playing around, she didn't think Bobbi would be so touchy on the subject. She didn't have to accuse her of wanting drama though, that was shallow.

"Are you serious?" she asked disbelievingly at the blonde. "It was just a question, no need to be a huge bitch about it. I'm sorry I even asked."

The two sat in somewhat silence for the rest of the ride. A few snaps bac and forth were shot at each other but apart from that they ignored each other. No matter how mad they got, they would continue the mission, because that's what agents did.

A while after landing, the discovered an abandoned jet in the same field; it was Natasha's. Skye's intel was correct so they set off thought the snow in search of civilization where the though Natasha might be.

The two women had dressed warm, but damn was it cold. They walked for a few hours and Darcy almost cried with relief when they found a town.

"Now what?" Bobbi asked to no one in particular, but Darcy answered anyway.

"We find Natasha, duhh." She sighed on the inside a little when she saw Bobbi roll her eyes at her in annoyance.

They walked in silence some more along the streets in search of a hotel when Darcy suddenly took off into the night. By the time Bobbi caught up with her, a woman had her in a chokehold. She was about to reach for her gun when she heard Darcy call out Natasha's name, identifying the attacker.
