The Reaper

Chapter 18: Whatever It Takes

Natasha POV 

"Hello" I Said when I answered the video call from Galina Egorova. I'm guessing she's Russian  excuse of her name. When she answered the call I saw her ghostly pale skin (but somehow I think that was how it naturally was), her bright blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. She seemed scared. 

"I need help, tell жатка I'm out, please I need help" she said in a thick Russian accent before she turned her head to the right and screamed before the call disconnected. I shared a look with the team and everyone else present which included Jeremy's friends from Mystic Falls. 

"So looks like Jeremy's 10 year probation might be broken" muttered Damon with an astonished look on his face. "So what's the plan?" He asked like he was used to being in a bad situation that needed a solution. "I mean I'm guessing we're helping the girl?" 

"Of course we are" Said Steve in a voice which had his 'I'm taking charge' tone to it. "Tony see if you could track the call" he instructed before he left and Bonnie went with him (something about helping if he couldn't track the call). "Fury we're going to need to get in contact with Jeremy see if he knows who that girl is" he said and Fury walked away already scrolling through his phones contacts. "All we can do is wait" he said to whoever was left and I saw Damon clench his jaw. 

"There isn't anything we can do Damon" I told the raven haired male and he nodded but seemed angry. 

"I'm going to find the bourbon" he said before he left the room to find the mentioned drink. Alaric followed and so did a concerned Stefan. 

"Damon doesn't like not being able to help, doesn't like feeling helpless" spoke Elena and we all nodded, it was understandable. 

"Right so the call came from Moscow near the Red Square" Said Tony as he entered the room followed by a guilty looking Bonnie, hmmm. 

"Right good work Tony, let's go" Said Steve before looking to Elena and Caroline who stood to join us. "You should all stay here" 

"Okay yeah no I'm coming with" Said Caroline in a pointed tone. "If she's a friend of Jeremy's I want to help, I can help" she said in an argumentative voice. 

"Look we don't know if she's trying to lure us in so it's safer you stay here" Said Tony and Caroline huffed before sitting down. "Wait for Fury to get in touch with Jeremy and talk to him instead, Okay?" He suggested and Caroline nodded with a small, pouty frown on her face. 

"Alright let's go"

Jeremy POV 

So since I got that job or whatever I'd gotten my own lab, I was aloud to leave the building and I was giving a private gym to train in as Shuri did tests to see how I could better my workout, she gets bored easily. 

"Jeremy you've got a call" Said Shuri from a couch in my lab as she read a magazine. I looked at the phone I'd been given and saw it was an unknown number. 

"Yello?" I Questioned when I answered the phone. At first there was no answer except someone's shocked gasp from the other end of the line. "Hello? Someone butt dialed or just can't talk?" I Said annoyed cause they were some good fries I was eating. 

"Jeremy?" I heard and my eyes snapped up from the ketchup stain on my shirt. "Oh my god it's actually you!'l squealed the feminine voice. 

"Caroline?" I Questioned the girl who squealed in response. "How'd you even get my phone number?" I asked her in a happy voice. 

"Fury" She said before continuing. "Look important question, do you know someone called Galina Egorova?" She asked and I froze. "Jeremy?" 

"Yeah yeah I'm here" I Said leaning forward and rubbing my face with my free hand earning a worried look from Shuri. "Galina Egorova huh?" I Said and she hummed in response. "Red Room, older than the others when she came in. I tried to look out for her but she was only there for about 2 months before I left" I told her before I Questioned why she would ask. "Why'd you ask about her?" 

"She called Nat" she said and I yet again froze. "Why would she call Nat?" 

"Because I told her about Natasha how I knew her before she left" I Said and stood ready to deal with the problem. "She needs help do you know where she is?" I asked and when she answered I hung up without a goodbye. Saving Caroline's phone number as her contact I started to make my way to speak to T'Chaka. 

"Hey T'Chaka I need a favour" I Said when I found the king. 

"And what would that be?" 

"A jet and permission to go to Russia to help a friend" 

"Don't draw any attention to yourself and take Shuri and T'Challa, they spend too much time inside"
