To Risk it All

Friend or Foe?

"Once we turn this corner the kids will be in the blue apartment with the garden in the front. Fifth floor, room number 507" Bruce informed the group looking up from his phone.

"Okay," Tony exclaimed turning to face the group,"game plan. I think it would be best if me and Natasha went in. Usually its me and the American flag but since he's not here Nat seems like the next best choice."

"Wow Tony i'm touched i'm your second option." The women in question said sarcastically.
"No problem."

"That makes since," Clint intervened before Natasha could kill Tony," the rest of us can keep an eye out for Hydra. Sam, you and Vision watch from above. The rest of us can watch the ground. Make sure your comms on and working. If were all good then lets go."

At the signal everyone moved into their positions. After everyone had dispersed Tony and Natasha starting walking into the building. Once they reach the elevator they pressed the fifth floor button and waited in silence.

~ding~

Stepping out of the elevator they headed straight to room 507 and knocked on the door. There was a crash from inside before the door opened slowly to reveal a young girl.

"kaga nasaimashita ka?" (Can I help you?) She asked quietly. When she opened the door wider they realized that she was the youngest 'Fushizen' sibling.

Natasha stepped forward,"Haitte kudasai? Anata to anata no kyōdai to hanasu hitsuyō ga arimasu." (Could we please come in? We need to speak with you and your siblings.) She asked as kindly as she could.

"Ichi-byō." (One second.) She said closing the door. Natasha looked back at Tony who shrugged his shoulders.

When the door opened again one of the twins was standing there. He opened the door wider.

"D-dōzo haitte kudasai." (P-please come in.) He stuttered leading them to the couch.

After they sat down the last two siblings walked out. They stood protectively in front of their other sister and brother.

"Karera to isshodesu ka?" (Are you with them?) The other boy asked harshly.

"Dare?" (Who?)

"Yatsugashira no hebi." (The eight headed snake.)

"Īe, hidora to isshode wa arimasendeshita." (No, were not with Hydra.)

They visibly relaxed at that. Moving to sit down in front of the, now alarmed,
superheroes. Now that they weren't so tense the adults could see how exhausted the kids looked. They must have been waiting for Hydra to come back.

"You speak english, yes?" The older sister asked.

"Yes we do." Natasha replied. "I'm Natasha and this is Tony."

"I'm Shan," The oldest sister started,"that's Javier and Dylan," she pointed to the more outgoing twin first then the shy one,"and last but not least, that's Trinity."

"Now, who are you and what do you want." Javier questioned curiously.

"We are part of a group called the Avengers and we were sent here to get you to safety." Tony stated.

"S-safety? A-are we not s-safe here?" Dylan stuttered looking at his twin nervously.

"No. Your not."

The teens seemed to panic at this. They started asking questions rapidly.

"What do you mean were not safe?"'
"Why aren't we safe?"
"D-does someone want t-to hurt us?"

"One at a time!" Tony shouted over the loud voices.

"Why aren't we safe?" Shan asked once they had all calmed down.

"Hydra wants you."

"Hydra? The eight headed snake people?" Javier asked.

"Yes. Hydra is a terrorist organization bent on taking over the world." Natasha explained to the scared teens.

"But why do they want us."

"uhhh. Guys." Pietro voice came over the comms.

"One sec," Natasha turned away from the group," what Pietro?"

"You guys need to get out of there now. There some Hydra lackeys moving in from your east." He replied urgently.

"Shit," she turned back to the group," listen all of your questions will be answered soon but for now we need to get going."

"How do we know we can trust you?"

"You don't, but for right now were your best bet at surviving this in one piece."

The teens looked at each other before nodding once. They each rush off into what looked like bedrooms. They each came back out with book bags on their backs. Before they left Tony activated his nano suit. Ignoring the looks of astonishment he was receiving he headed out into the hall first. Natasha signaled the kids to go out first then followed them closely behind. Suddenly there was an explosion outside. They looked out the window to see Vision fly by, followed by a barrage of bullets. The spy turned back around and ushered to the kids to move faster. A neighbor poked her head out the door and watched as they rushed past.

"Dō shita no?" (What's going on?) She whispered urgently.

"Apātomentonīsu ni modotte kudasai." (Please go back in your apartment Ms. Nisu.) Trinity whispered as she was rushed pass.

They exited the building into a war zone. Wanda was launching anything she could with her magic while Pietro ran around knocking out goons. When they looked up they saw sam and vision fighting off drones. Tony nodded at Natasha before blasting off to help Sam and Vision. When Natasha turned around to lead the teens back to the plane she saw men rushing at them.

"Follow me!" She screamed.

Taking off in the opposite direction with her followers close behind she heard the tell-tell sign of arrows hitting their mark behind her. Weaving her way through the battlefield she lead them down the street and back to the plane.

Once they reached the plane Natasha turned to face the teens.
"Get on the plane. When you get on there will be a man there as well. His name is Bruce Banner, he'll protect you." With that said she turned to run back to the battle. Before she could leave she felt a hand grab her wrist. She turned her head around to see Trinity holding on to her, the young girl looked scared.

"Doko ni iku no?" (Where are you going?) She asked reverting back to her first language nervously. Natasha turned back to the scared girl and crouched down.

"Watashi wa anata o anzen ni tamochitai to itta watashi wa yakusoku o mamoru tsumoridesu. Modotte kurunode shinpaishinaide kudasai." (I told you i'd keep you safe and I intend to keep my promise. Don't worry i'll come back.) She comforted her rubbing  her head. Standing up she smiled one last time before turning around and rushing towards the sounds of explosions.
