Trapped in her own Web

Infiltrating the Snakes Lair

So it turns out Hydra was expecting them. The surprise part of the plan completely flopped, never the less they all survived getting into the compound. Getting to the data points was a bit trickier. "You take left I'll go right." Natasha was ashamed to admit she missed this, fighting next to James. She should hate it, the killing, the fighting, the surviving, but she doesn't. Each blow quickens her heart, each body falling spikes her adrenalin. She and James move like a well oiled machine but she can't help but compare him to Clint. With Clint it's more of a mad rush with the thrilling feeling of being out of control and having to rely on mostly instinct. With James it was about being in control, turning it into a work of art and directing it on how you want it to go. They were both beautiful but one was slightly more sophisticated.

She snapped the last neck and they moved on past the heap of bodies. "Warning, you guys have got an incoming squadron heading your way. There are more than we originally thought." James swore colourfully.
"James head down towards the squadron and act as a diversion, I'll continue to the computer bank and gather the info. I'll meet you there ok. Don't die."
"Natalia-"
"We don't have time just go, don't worry about me." He nodded his head and took off round the corner. She continued in the opposite direction and headed lower underground.

She only encountered a few soldiers, all of which were dispatched of quickly. Red lights and alarms were ringing through the base but here the noise wasn't audible, only the throbbing red light pulsed down the hall and cast eerie shadows. The computer room was strangely devoid of life with scattered bits of paper and files flung everywhere. Immediately Natasha was on the alert. When no immediate danger introduced itself she lowered her guard slightly. She plugged in the memory stick and powered up the device.

The memory stick glowed blue as it stockpiled all the info it was receiving. As the percentage increased so did Natasha's nerves. She kept looking over her shoulder as the minutes ticked by. When the download was complete she practically ripped the memory stick out and exited there as fast as she could. Unfortunately she ran into something, quite literally.

Alexei stood in the narrow hall towering over her at 6"4. He smiled down at her. "So you remembered it this time." He gestured to the stick in her hands. "Be a good wife and hand it over. That way no one gets hurt." He held a hand out and she stared at it incredulously.
"Do you really think I would give it to you that easily?" She shoved it down her suit and into her bra. Alexei sighed.
"No, but I wish you would it just makes this harder." He then backhanded her so hard she flew backwards and landed on her back outside the data room. She was up on her feet quickly but not quick enough to dodge his meaty fist as it closed around her throat and lifted her in the air. Her legs dangled uselessly below her as she tried clawing at him with her nails.

His strength was almost superhuman and that's when she realised, with a sinking feeling in her gut, that he was. He'd been experimented on by Hydra. He chuckled as he saw the dawning realisation in her eyes. She tried to swing her legs up around his arm to crush it but he just shook her like a puppy and threw her into the room. She hit the computer banks and fell in a shower of sparks. She hit the floor in a crumpled heap.

"Natalia!" James skidded down the hall and faced Alexei. Both men growled at each other, expressing equal hate. The height difference didn't seem to matter to Bucky as he ran at Alexei. Both exchanged powerful blows and Bucky managed to catch Alexei's jaw with his metal fist. This only seemed to enrage him further as he spat out blood and socked him in the gut.

Bucky bent over wheezing and Alexei took the chance to pin him against the wall. "James!"
"Stay out of this Natalia! You're lucky they want you alive Soldat, otherwise I would tear you limb from limb for stealing my wife."
"She's not yours."
"Yes she is. She belongs to me. She is mine." Spit flew out of his mouth as he snarled at the battered soldier.
"If you think she belongs to anyone then you're just as stupid as they were."

Something fizzed against Alexei's neck and he rammed Bucky against the wall before tossing him on the floor. He turned to face a determined Natasha and flicked the electrified disk off of him. "That stung about as much as a mosquito would, you're going to have to try harder." She smiled sweetly at him.
"Oh I will." She kneed him hard in the groin and reached for the metal plating she had torn from the side of a monitor. She shoved the twisted metal into his stomach and then slashed it across the back of his knees. He sank to the floor howling and she whipped it across his face. Blood ran down his forehead as he glared up at her. She rose the metal above her head and swung it down with all her force onto his skull. He partially blocked it but not enough. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and he landed with a grunt. She smiled grimly and then moved over to help James sit up.

She was panting heavily and he touched the blood dripping off her chin. He looked over to the heap on the floor and smiled proudly. "That's my girl." Their comms cackled to life and they heard a panicky Steve.
"Is everything all right down there?"
"Just fine cap."
"Great, then you can come give us a hand."
"Sure."
"Sooner rather than later Romanoff, we're surrounded."
"Copy that Rogers."

"You good?" Bucky nodded his head and together they made their way to where Clint and Steve were. It was pretty rough, an unfair fight. Luckily the arrival of the other two assassins evened out the odds. All four worked perfectly together, moving and adapting to the others. It wasn't until the end when things began to get hectic. Another wave of soldiers marched in guns blazing and they were forced to take cover in a lab, using over turned work benches. Clint slid the hard drive over to Natasha who put it in the same place as the other one.

Alexei strode around the corner and the four found themselves backed up against the windows. "Don't you know when to give up?" Bucky spat. He was ignored. Alexei muttered something to his soldiers and stepped in front of them, pointing at Natasha.
"Natalia - " three bullets found themselves in his abdomen. Everyone stared at Natasha with wide eyes as she held a smoking gun, her eyes hard.
BANG
Another one hit his chest and he fell to the floor.
"Bastard." She hissed. Clint whooped but Bucky was more concerned over the soldiers lining them up with their guns.

He went to protect Natasha but she just smacked his arm away and shot out the window, he was then pushed by her out of said window. Thankfully it was only two storeys up and he rolled as he fell. Barton and Natalia obviously did perfectly acrobatic landings and Steve just went all out landing on his shield. They sprinted for the jeep and ducked at the spray of bullets.
"Reminds me of the highway all over again." She grinned teasingly at Steve.
"You and I remember that very differently," he told her, waving the detonator. "Now let's say we blow this place to hell."
"With pleasure captain." She pressed down on the button and watched out the back window as the burning building collapsed in on itself.

A/N Hello again. I'm back. Bear in mind that I wrote this at like 3 in the morning so ... :)
Fun Fact: All the OG avengers survived the snap. Supposedly only two will remain alive at the end of avengers 4. 😱 :)
Who's your favourite Brotp? Mines Clint and Natasha but I like Steve and Bucky too.
