“Agent Stark! Over here!” Agent Jackson yelled at me, while I scanned the perimeter.

I ran over to him, and there were bodies littered all over the floor in a hallway.
“I need some medics on the fourth floor, hallway 2, and fast!” I shout into my walkie talkie.

“Do you think it's Hydra?” he asked, and I began to examine the bodies. There were no bullet wounds; just cuts, and a lot of blood.

I scanned the bodies, and I put on a pair of glasses that were like my father's that he used to talk to JARVIS except mine was called MAVERICK.

“Mav, can you tell me if any of these people have a pulse?”

“Yes, but I'm afraid that none of them have a pulse.” he says, and I sigh deeply.

“Maverick, any idea on how these people were murdered?” I asked, and he answered quickly, “No, Ms. Stark. I haven't seen anything like this before. I will search all of my files that Mr. Stark has programmed to see if any of these match this cause of death.”

“The cause of death is obviously not an external problem. There's no bullet wounds, but definitely cuts, and bruises..”

“Do you think it was Hydra?” he asked again, and I shook my head.

“I don't have a clue. When I'm on missions, and usually when Hydra is in the picture, they go straight for the kill. Their thing is guns, and knives, but a full blown massacre? I've never seen them do it before.” I say, and begin to look for evidence.

The medics came rushing in, and I heard a door slam. I ran towards the sound with my gun drawn, ready to fire at a moment's notice.

I seen a woman peek around the corner, and she shot at me. I fired back instantly, and she ducked, shooting back at me.

I tucked and rolled behind a stack of boxes, as she began shooting again. After the bullets ceased, I snuck around the boxes, and peeked around the corner where this mysterious woman was.

She had brown hair, and half of her face was covered by a mask.
She was sitting there, saying something in Russian into her walkie talkie. 

On instinct, I tackled her to the ground, and we were rolling on the floor. We both jumped up, and got into a fighting stance position, she pointed her gun at me, and I kicked it out of her hand.

I made the first move, and punched her in the jaw.  She jumped up and kicked, but I grabbed her foot, and yanked her back.

She grunted, and used her other foot to kick me in the stomach. I stumbled backwards, as she jumped over me, putting me in a headlock, her knife against my cheek.

“I hate to cut this pretty face, but I can tell you'll be a pain in the ass, Charlotte.” she said in English, as he grip got tighter around my neck.

“Who the hell are you?” I gasp out, and she leans closer to my ear.

“You'll never find out. You'll be dead, and no one will know I was here.” she says.

I gather up enough strength to hit her in the face with the back of my head. I begin to gasp for air, she began to walk back to me, another woman shouted in Russian and she began to back up.

“Well, until we meet again, Charlotte.” she says, and walks out through the back door.

I felt something wet dripping from my cheek; I placed my finger over where it was, and sure enough it was blood.

I grabbed a cloth off of the ground, and picked up her gun, placing it inside a zip lock bag.

I put the baggie in my bag, as Jackson walked up to me. “Where'd you get that cut from?” he asked, and I shrugged my shoulders.

“I must've done it when I was searching the perimeter.” I say, and he shrugs his shoulders.

“Well, they want me to thank you for helping us, and if your talking thingie has any info on what killed these people please let us know.” he said, as he shook my hand.

“Anytime.” I say as I sling my bag over my shoulder.

“It was a pleasure working with you Ms. Stark. And I was just wondering
if— if you'd like to go out sometime. Like get a drink or something.” he says, and I give him a small smile.

“It was a pleasure working with you, but uh, I have a Boyfriend.” I say, and he begins to walk backwards.

“Well, that was embarrassing, but if he ever breaks your heart, and need a shoulder to cry on, I'm always here.” he says, and walks out of the building.

I roll my eyes, and walk out to my car, setting my bag in the passenger seat.
“Maverick, any info on this case?” I ask, and it takes him a while to answer.

“I'm afraid I don't have an answer or a solution. Mr. Stark is still programming me, maybe this is a job for Jarvis, Ms. Stark.” he says, and I start my car, and lean back into my seat.

“Okay, well can you get me any information on the mysterious chick who almost kicked my ass?” I ask.

“This may take a few minutes.” he says, and I begin to drive away, heading home.

I pulled up to mine and Steve's shared apartment in Brooklyn. Instead of Maverick only taking a few minutes, it took him all the way home, and he found absolutely nothing.

I walk into our apartment, and throw my bag on the ground. It was completely dark, and there was a rustling sound in the spare bedroom. Steve was on a mission in Bangladesh, so I walked over to a kitchen drawer and pulled out a pistol.

I slowly begin to walk through the hallway, when someone opened the door, and I instantly jumped on top of them, flipping them to where I was on their stomach.

I flipped on the light, and I was met with blue eyes, “Oh my gosh, Steve! I am so sorry, I wasn't expecting you to be home for another week!” I say, and he grabs me, kissing my lips

“At least I know that you can jump someone. But you seem a little on edge, why?” he asked, and I breathed in deeply, pulling him up off of the floor.

I turned on the lamp in the living room, and closed the curtains.
“Charlie? Seriously what is wrong?” he asked, and I sat down next to him on the couch.

“Today, I was helping a detective agency investigate something they thought had something to do with the gangs around town.” I say, and he nods, “Okay, and?”

“I think it has something to do with Hydra.” I say, and his eyes widen. I begin to tell him everything from the bodies, to this woman.

“Steve, this chick kicked my ass. She was close to killing me, and she was strong.” I say, and he rubs my shoulder.

“Was she as strong as me?” he asked, and I shrugged. “She was close to it.” I say, and rub my face, “I need to see my dad, I need to use Jarvis.”

“What's wrong with Maverick?” he asked, and I sighed, “He's not fully programmed yet, so it's like asking a toddler for help.” I say, and he nods.

“What are you going to do about this girl, Charlie?” Steve asked, and I look out the window.

“Find out who she is, and kick her ass.”
