Avengers: Black Widow
Unaffiliated: Black Cat, ???
Monster:
Strikers
You ducked under the blade that Zemo swung before you slashed at him with your claws. He dodged effortlessly and leaped back as you gave chase.
Zemo was weaker than you by a fucking landslide, but he was more skilled and coordinated. On top of that, you didn't want to let them steal your power for another device.
Who knows what happened to Robbie?
But as you and Wanda fought off two Cabal members without even knowing what the Cabal was, mayhem spread all throughout New York. Even in a few other places, like Arizona and Nevada. And of course there was Laura with Pearl.
But this arc is called New York. Why would I tell you what was going on there?
Cause I can and you can't stop me.
Bitch.
But I'll do that on a later arc. For now, let's check in on Tandy and Molly, shall we?
Tandy and Molly were the last ones to be given an assignment to help with holding back the mysterious attack. Most of the Program was sent over to the CUBE while the others joined the Avengers at the RAFT.
Tyrone, Elsa, and Loki went to help the Avengers. So what were Tandy and Molly doing?
Widow: There was a break in at the Thieves Guild's headquarters.
Tandy: What? Why are we being sent to investigate a break in when there's breakouts everywhere?
Widow sighed.
Widow: Because the Thieves Guild has a lot of very powerful weapons locked away. They've had years to build their collections. And because I said so.
Molly: So, what do we do? I mean, where do we send the bad guy when we catch them?
Widow was about to answer, but stopped. She honestly didn't have an answer. Every super prison were kinda....unavailable right now.
Toxin: To the grave!
Molly: Yes!
Tandy: NO!
Widow: No. No! No killing. Y/N would never forgive me if I let you start murdering people. Just, deal with them and we'll go from there. Hopefully things will calm down by then.
Molly pouted but Tandy simply nodded.
Tandy: We'll check it out. What are you going to do?
Widow: I have to go help the Avengers over at the RAFT. Once you guys are done, check in with either me or Y/N and join your friends on the helicarrier.
The two girls nodded and Toxin covered Molly. She grabbed Tandy and swung out of the room before she swung through the city.

Doreen: Woah!
Doreen dodged a massive sword from the giant that Mysterio had created. Amora tried to cast a spell, but he sent one of his drones to distract her by making multiple copies of himself.
Amora: This fake magic is annoying me greatly.
Doreen: Tell me about it!
She was hit by a hammer which knocked her down.
Mysterio: Magic is magic! Wakaza!
He reached his hand out and more smoke spread onto the deck. Amora, however, casted a spell to realase a massive gust of wind that make the smoke dissappear.
Mysterio looked around and gritted his teeth.
Amora: Magic is magic. But you do know use it!
Amora realized a spell that fired right at the villain. However, when the spell landed, she found that Mysterio was unfazed.
Amora was confused, before she felt something.
Hela: How cute.
Amroa turned around but was quickly hit. She flew across the deck and slammed into the door that lead into the helicarrier itself. She fell to the ground in pain as the Goddess of Death revealed herself.
Amora: H-Hela? Why?
Hela: You could've been one of us, but you instead betrayed the cause. Such a shame. We could've ruled this world together.
Mysterio flew down to join the goddess and looked over at Doreen as she pushed herself up.
Mysterio: All the prisoners got to freedom. At least, the ones we came for.
Hela looked at her partner for a moment. She then smiled and placed a finger under his chin.
Hela: Good work, my dear Beck. We shall make our departure now.

Tandy looked around the room with her dagger providing light.
Tandy: Where is everyone?
Molly: They ran. Like cowards!
She threw a vase down which shattered on the floor. Tandy sighed and blamed you for their behavior.
She looked around some more before she noticed something odd. Her light didn't shine a shadow on a nearby painting.
Almost like it wasn't actually there.
Tandy: Bruiser.
Molly turned around at her code name and noticed Tandy looking at the massive painting. She reached out and touched it, but it suddenly vanished. Instead, there was a massive tunnel.
Molly: Woah. Secret door.
Tandy: And I'm guessing this is where our thief is. Let's go.
Molly nodded and followed the older girl into the tunnel.
However, before they could get too far, they were suddenly surrounded by unseen figures that seemingly appeared out of thin air.
All dressed in red wear. All armed.
Thief: You do not belong here.....
He was suddenly lifted into the air and slammed to the ground. Everyone looked at Molly as she bared her fangs.
Molly: We'll take you all down! We're unstoppable! We are Bruiser!
Tandy: Bruiser! Stand down!
Thief: Ahh...
Two men dragged the broken man away before another stepped up.
Thief: You do not belong here.
Tandy: No, we don't. But there has been massive breakouts from super powered prisons everywhere. There was an alert that someone had broken in here and...
Thief: We did not call for assistance. Leave now or suffer the consequences.
Tandy looked at the people surrounding her and Molly. They could maybe take them, but she also didn't know anything about them.
They would be fighting blind. And they were alone here.
Tandy: Okay. We'll leave. But if any of your weapons show up....
Thief: We will handle our own business, girl. Leave.
Tandy raised her hands to show she meant no further harm while Molly glared at the man. The Thief flinched as Tandy and Molly headed back out.
Once they were gone, another figure emerged from the darkness.
???: Are they gone?
Thief: Yes, Lady Drake.
???: Good. Now, to discover who has broken into our vault.

Cat: Hmmmm. Gold~
Cat sung to herself as she walked on the rooftops of New York, using the mayham to her advantage to finally steal from the Guild's vault.
Cat: Gold gold gold~
She pulled her backpack closer to herself as she thought about all the treasures inside.
Cat: What to spend it on? Maybe a new purse? Or a nice dress? Or maybe a new staff? The possibilities.
She stopped and looked out at the helicarrier which was sitting motionless on the water. She could see the green gas still fading but only two people were on the ship.
Felicia: They look hurt.
Cat: They do. Oh well.
Cat took a step forward, but found her other foot frozen in place. She sighed.
Cat: Felicia...
Felicia: What if they need help? They could be hurt.
Cat: No. No No No. We're not heroes. We already agreed to this.
Felicia: But...
Cat: No buts! You said it yourself when we decided to leave the Program. We also have a bag of stolen goods. Why would we go and try ot help those idiots? If they didn't want to get hurt, then they shouldn't have gotten involved.
Felicia wanted to argue with her, but she did have a point. They already had chance to be a hero and to do good, but they left it behind.
Along with you.
Felicia gave in and allowed Cat to move forward.
Cat: Cheer up, dear. I'll get you a nice new dress. We can even wear it when we go out with Robbie again~
Felicia: Yeah. I guess.
Cat sung to herself again as she skipped forward with her bag of gold.

Madame Hydra: Stay down, you witch!
Wanda flew back as Madame Hydra snapped her whip. Wanda fired off a blast of magic which Madame Hydra dodged.
You blocked another attack from Zemo and swung back. You managed to catch his rib but Zemo quickly stabbed your shoulder.
He pulled the blade out and you looked at the wound. It was healing a lot faster than it would've a few months ago.
Zemo: You are the Godslayer, yet you fight like a man.
You smirked.
Y/N: If I went all out, you would be dead.
Zemo held up his sword.
Zemo: Then kill me.
He charged forward, but stopped. Madame Hydra did as well. The two looked at each other and nodded.
Madame Hydra: This battle is over. We will meet again.
Wait, what?!
Wanda: You will not get away that easily!
Wanda went to fire off a blast of magic while you threw a fire ball. However, they were faster.
Madame Hydra pulled out a device and pressed a button that made her and Zemo vanish. Your blasts hit a shipping container which created a massive hole in the side.
Y/N: Damn it!
You punched the side of another container, denting it, and turned back to the helicarrier.
Wanda: What was that?
Y/N: I don't know. Why did they attack? Why are these breakouts happening?
Widow: All good questions.
You lifted your head before you found Widow perched ontop of the nearby warehouse.
Y/N: What's going on, Widow?
Widow: I don't know. But, the breakouts are under control now. There's still a lot that's a mystery.
Wanda: Like who did all of this.
Widow nodded. Great. A master mind who caused all of this is still on the loose. And Robbie was missing. You had no idea where he was or if he was even safe.
Was he.....dead?
Widow: Everyone is heading back to the tower. You should go back, too. Let the Avengers handle the clean up.
You sighed. Your team could probably use the rest. Plus, you wanted to figure out what was going on.
Y/N: Fine.
You couldn't work in peace if you had the Avengers and the Program looking over your shoulder. You hated saying that, but it was the truth now.
The Strikers were just more advanced than the Program and you've already reached the same level as the Avengers.
Y/N: I'll call everyone in.
And try to figure out what was going on.
