Terces The Assassin | Avengers

44

What Az saw was horrific. Not in a creepy way though. It was sad. She had no idea where she was, but that was because all she could see was grass.

It was tall grass. The grass was at least ten feet tall. Az couldn't see anything beyond it. She sighed, but she had to get through that grass.

She ran straight through it. The grass was sharp. Sharp as a blade. She heard noises from behind her. She didn't waste any time.

Az jumped right into the grass. She ran as fast as she could, but it wasn't fast enough. The blades of grass were slicing her arms. Blood dripped down her arms, legs, and her face. Her hospital gown was sliced and cut.

Az ran and made it into an open area. Normally normal people would be happy or excited about this, but Az was not.

"Oh fuck..." Az said as she looked around. She heard noises from all around. She heard only one set though. That was good. For now.

Avengers' Pov:

Steve, Tony, Clint, Nat, Wanda, and Bucky all awoke after a few seconds. A faint ringing was going through all of their heads.

Jayson, Rafael, Hashim, and Pietro all awoke next. They all rubbed their heads. The ringing was louder.

"Damn... This guy really likes to blow stuff up..." Hashim said sadly. Rafael and Jayson didn't say anything. They looked as if they saw a ghost.

Everyone looked at the two. They looked shocked, scared, and sad. They ran over to Andrew who was bleeding from the head, and not awake.

Tony's eyes widened first as he also ran over. Everyone was too shocked to do anything. Hashim knew what was happening now.

"No, no, no! Andrew, you have to wake up. You need to survive. Especially for Az. She needs you. We need you. Please wake up Andrew." Jayson pleaded as he tried to listen to Andrew's heart.

"Friday, check Andrew's vitals." Tony said panicked. "Yes sir." Friday replied right after.

"No pulse has been found. It seems as if Andrew can not be revived." Friday responded. Everyone had sad disappointed looks.

It was a defeat. Ivan set it all up. There was nothing they could do, and it had been days since they last saw Az.

"We should head back. Think of a new plan." Steve said. No one argued. They all walked back.

"Well... Az will be able to talk to him... Right?" Hashim asked Rafael and Jayson. They nodded with a little smile, but that dimmed quickly.

Once they got back to the tower. Everyone went off and did their own things. The only ones in the lounge room were Jayson, Hashim, and Rafael.

"That might work. Pinpoint the location, find Ivan, then, squeeze the information out of him." Jayson said as he looked at a hologram.

"That won't work. It'll be a fifteen percent chance of any of us getting out alive. If we can even find out where he is." Rafae said as he pulled up a chart.

Tony came, but he watched from afar. He admired the determination the small group had, but he was worried for them.

"Maybe we're looking at it from the wrong perspective." Hashim said. Rafael and Jayson both looked at Hashim confused.

"Look, if you were blinded by anger from a person who kidnapped your best friend, and killed one of your best friends, you would think to go after them. They would for sure know. That's just it. He knows that. That's why he's set us up so many times." Hashim explained. Jayson caught on.

"Right! His goons would know, but he wouldn't expect us to go to them because he knows we want revenge." Jayson continued. That's where Rafael caught on.

"We find a goon, we find Az." All three men looked at each other. They just looked at things from a whole different perspective, and they may have found out the key.

Tony had to admit. They were very smart. Not as smart as Az, but they knew what they were doing. Tony just hoped they were right.

Jayson looked over at Tony. Tony looked right back at him. "You ready Tin Man?" Jayson asked. The other two men turned and looked at Tony. Tony thought for a moment, but nodded yes.

"Let's get this show on the road then." Jayson said with a smirk. Tony led the three to the conference room. He had everyone who went on the mission come. They did. This is where they were going to outsmart Ivan. They were going to find Az. They were going to bring her back.
