NEVE POV:
My sister and I are in the gym, training, I'm shooting ice at a target, getting bullseye every time and my sister is fighting with her battle axe against a group of Agents. Like always, we're trying to think up a plan to escape, but we're always being watched, because apparently we're too dangerous to be trusted on our own. The door opens and I feel someone watching me, I hear an Agent speak "Gemini, you're with me." Aala and I stop our training and follow the Agent to an office.

Uh oh, they almost never bring us here.

He gestures for us to sit down and leaves the room, a different man, one in a suit, walks in and closes the door behind him "Ladies, how much you've grown. A congratulations is in order, happy 18th birthday to the both of you." I speak "What's this about?" "Straight to the point, one thing I love about you, Neve. Since you're now adults and very capable, I'm turning you into official Agents. You are going out on your first mission today, just like you've practiced, you'll be going with a team, the best Agents we've got."

In order to need their best Agents this must be something big.

"Your uniforms are in your bedroom, get ready, you have half an hour. Dismissed." We get up and walk out of the room, like usual an Agent follows us to our room. Once in our shared room, I shut the door behind the 2 of us and look to the bed. Aala lets out a squeal of excitement and runs over to the uniforms, I whisper to her "Why are you so excited? They're turning us into Agents." She puts her hands on my shoulders "They're sending us out." It takes a moment for me to realise what she's getting at.

We can escape.

A smile appears on my face for the first time since I got my powers, which makes Aala smile even more. We look down at our outfits, it's obvious which one is intended for who, so we grab our own outfit and get changed. I braid my hair and throw it over one shoulder, I turn to face my sister and smile again.

She looks gorgeous!

She holds out her arm for me "Shall we?" "Oh, we shall." We leave the room and follow the Agent to the armoury, where we're each handed things, I'm given a pair of daggers which I tuck into my boots, Aala is handed a pair of daggers and her battle axe.

NATASHA POV:
Cap, Wilson and I are out on a little mission, it was just retrieving an item, it was going fine until a group of about 10 HYDRA Agents showed up. The 3 of us come up with a plan and start attacking, working together, I notice a HYDRA helicopter landing, as I fight I keep an eye on it. These Agents are tougher than any HYDRA Agent I've ever fought against, accept Bucky. Two women step out of the helicopter, followed by 3 more Agents.

An Agent has me pinned to the ground and is about to take my head off, when all of a sudden his eyes widen and he collapses on top of me, I push him off and see a black dagger imbedded in his neck.

Did Cap and Wilson bring daggers?

I continue fighting, as I duck beneath a swing from an Agent, I notice an Agent collapse ahead of me. As he hits the ground, I see one of the women who got out of the helicopter.

Are they on our side?

There are only a few Agents left, so I make my way over to Cap, who's just killing one, when he's done, I speak "We've had help." We look over to the 2 women, one is fighting hand to hand combat with daggers, the other has a battle axe and has just beheaded an Agent. There are only 2 Agents left, all 3 of us are standing together now, watching as the women work together to take them down. The fight doesn't go on very long, then the women high-five and glance around at all the bodies, I lock eyes with one of them and she smiles. She pulls the other one towards us, Cap speaks quietly to us "Don't attack them, let's find out who they are before we do anything."

As they get closer, I look them over, they're both young, the smiling one has blonde hair down to her butt, flowing behind her, a small braid down either side of her face. She's wearing a lavender catsuit, purple knee-high boots and is carrying her battle axe, the other one is wearing a pale blue catsuit with blue boots. Her hair is braided down to her breasts and is white-blonde, she speaks "So, you're the Avengers?” Cap replies "That's right, Ma'am. Who are you?" They answer at the same time "Gemini."

Well, that was creepy.

"Who do you work for?" The one in blue responds "No one. We're meant to be HYDRA Agents, but we don't want that, this was our chance to escape, so we took it." The purple one adds "And we couldn't let them kill the Avengers, you're known to be HYDRA's worst enemy, so we need you to be okay. You are okay, right?" "Yes, Ma'am, we're fine. Nothing we can't handle." Her smile disappears "Are you hurt? I can help." Wilson speaks "You're a Doctor?" "I'm a healer." Cap nods to them, we head to the quinjet and the 3 of us sit down.

We need to remain cautious, they could be playing us, but the one in purple looks so innocent… Not so sure about the other though.

She nods for the other one to sit down, she kneels in front of her "I'll show you first, so I don't freak you out." We all watch as she hovers her hand over a gash on the woman's cheek, her hand glows a warm yellow, when she pulls them away the wound has completely disappeared and there isn't even a scar.

Wow!

We allow her to heal us, Wilson is last, when she gets to him she stares at one of his fingers, he shrugs "I think it's broken." "Oh, I can only heal flesh wounds, so someone else will have to deal with that." She heals the rest of him and walks over to the woman in blue, who speaks "We should be going now." Cap stops them "What do you mean go? You just helped us, you don't need to go." They look at each other, wide-eyed "We don't?" "No, come with us, we can sort something out."

Having someone to heal us when we return from missions will definitely be useful, especially since S.H.I.E.L.D can't help us anymore.

"We need to find someone." I speak up "Who you looking for?" "He goes by Winter." Cap and I share a look, he speaks "The Winter Soldier?" "Yeah... do you know where he is?" "Yeah." They both smile, the purple one grips the other one's shoulder "You do!?" We nod "We'll take you with us and you can see him." They both immediately sit down "So, what are your names?" The purple one, who still has a huge smile on her face, speaks "I'm Aala and this is my sister Neve."
