Rush 🔞

Six

It had been a month since she had returned home, and she was exhausted. Her body ached from training with Nat, and she had barely been sleeping, scared of the nightmares. She would sleep on the couch, but make sure to set an alarm to wake her before Peter, so if her powers took over, making things float, she could correct it before her brother saw.

Right now, she was on her way back to the apartment after spending the last 4 hours getting her ass kicked by the redhead spy. She needed a long soak in the bath, and a large glass of wine.

After a week, Mr Stark had her suit ready for her, and she loved it. It was an all in one, and it molded to her body. It came with a hood, and her mask covered half her face. He had told her it was fitted with a tracker, just in case, and the material was as strong as Kevlar, another precaution for her.

She had told May that Mr Stark had given her the new identity and a job, but left out the training, and the suit. She really hoped that she was making some improvements in training, she didn't think that her body could take any more beatings. Hearing her phone ring, she pulled it out, seeing Starks name flash in the screen.

'Please don't tell me I have more training tomorrow, I need a break..'.. She sighed, as she answered.

He chuckled at her... 'No, mission if you're interested..'.. That perked her up straight away.

'Im in, when and where?..'.. She asks, looking around the street.

'Stay where you are, Romanoff is on her way to you, she'll give you the details. You'll get to meet the others if you want to..'..

'Whos on the mission?..'.. She moves to the side, leaning up against a post.

'Rogers, Wilson, Barnes, the twins and Vision..'.. He lists them off... 'Can you handle it?..'

'I'll do whatever it takes, to bring them down..'.. She looks left, hearing the sound of a familiar engine and smiles... 'Shes here..'

'Your mission is separate from theirs, so be careful. You have been practicing your powers, right?..'.. The car pulled up, and she got in, smiling at Nat, before she sped off.

'I have..'.. Nat takes a file from her lap, and hands it to Pen... 'Is there anything I'll need to take with me?..'

'Its all in the file. I've already set up an alibi for you, to give May. Nat will take you to the house, the others will be leaving later. So read up, get dressed and good luck..'... Stark hangs up, and Pen tried to calm her racing heart as she puts her phone away, and opens the file.

'How come you're not on this mission?..'.. She asks, reading the briefing.

'I got another. Besides, this one is going to be an easy one. While the others are taking down the base, you will get in, to their control room, and take this..'.. She pulls out a drive... 'Download all their data. You won't need to do anything else, but remember our training, just in case..'

Pen takes the drive, and slips it into her bra, she remembered what Nat had said about keeping important things in there... 'I can do that. Stay invisible, get in, get the data and get out?..'

Nat chuckled as she hit the street for the safe house... 'Your suit and comm is in there, as well as the pack. You sure you're up for flying?..'.. Nat asks as she parks up, the two getting out.

'Never tried flying solo, but there's a first time for everything, right?..'.. Pen grinned at Nat, who shook her head.

'You and Peter are so much alike, but different. Come on, let's get you ready..'.. Nat leads her inside, and Pen can feel her anxiety bubbling up with her nerves. She really hoped she could do this.

Pietro slipped his comm in, as the jet took off. He looked around at the others, feeling the tension he knew they didn't fully trust him and his sister yet, not after what happened in Sokovia a few weeks before.

He still didn't understand as to how he was alive, that jet was raining bullets, heading towards Barton and the kid, so he sped off, covering them with a car, right in the path, but yet, a shield had appeared in front of him, suspending the bullets in the air. He had seen where they were directed, knowing they would have killed him.

He had been trying to find out who or what it was, that saved his life, and a thought had crossed his mind, it was the other girl from the base. He remembered her screams, her begging and pleading for it to stop. He didn't have to guess as to what it was about. He remembered the same man laughing, coming and going from her cell.

Pietro had only ever seen glances of her, when she passed by his cell, but it was the way she held herself, that had his attention. After everything that was being done to her, she still held herself high, showing them they weren't breaking her. He wondered if she had been subjected to the scepter, maybe she got out somehow.

From what the others had said, they didn't find any other girl at the base, that day, nor did him and Wanda see her since.

'Sam, Vis, you two take to the sky, be our eyes. Pietro..'.. He heard his name getting called and he looked up, moving to the table in the center of the jet... 'You take the perimeter. If there's anyone out there, take them down. If you find any enhanced, call them out. You'll have those two above you, if you need help..'

Pietro nodded, not really listening as Cap went on... 'Bucky, Wanda and I will take the base. Stay in comms, communicate and work as a team. We do this right, we can be in and out in a few hours..'

Pietro wondered if joining the team was the right thing to do. He knew that him and Wanda still had to prove themselves, and they were working in the training. His life was a lot different that it was when they were kids. Who would have thought, that they had gone from wanting to tear Stark apart with the avengers, to working with him and becoming one themselves.

He checked his suit, and his boots, before taking a seat. They were still another hour out, and decided to rest his eyes. He needed all his energy for his part, all that running, was exhausting.
