"I'm not even under the covers." The guy argued.

"Did you get everything on my list?" Natasha asks the guy as she's walking back into the kitchen.

"I got passports, for the two of you, local drivers licenses, and a couple of licenses for the little one." The man says, answering her question.

He handed Galina and Nat two folders, thick with certificates and identifications.

Natasha flipped through the driver's licenses. "Fanny Longbottom? Really? What are you, twelve?"

"That's a legitimate name." He tells her.

"Anastasia Solovyov. Not bad." Galina says reading her name, and Natasha has a pout on her face as she turns to Mason.

"How come her name is better than mine?" Natasha asks the man, and he shrugs with a smug smile on his face like he's up to something.

"Because she's cute, and less aggressive." Mason says as Galina snorts at hearing the man as Nat groans a little of how Galina's undercover name is better than hers.

"Thank you Mas." Galina says and the man pats her shoulder, with a smile. "You are definitely my favorite." Galina says as Nat has an offended look on her face at hearing what her daughter just said.

"How rude." Natasha says offendly to her daughter, and the said daughter only smirks at her mother.

"There's a generator outside, it's petrol-powered, the septic tank will need to be flushed in a couple of weeks, but I've got a guy coming for that. You two will have to haul your rubbish into town. It's only a twenty-minute drive. There's a laptop over there on the table with a bunch of movies downloaded on it for entertainment. And there's a hardware kit stashed under the stairs." The guy says.

By nightfall Nat had managed to make something to eat and they curled up in the alcova, watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. While they were munching on junk food, Natasha had rebraided Galina's hair as it fell out a while ago.

They weren't even fifteen minutes into Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when the generator gave out. Great, just fucking great.

So after trying to restart it, Natasha grabbed the gas tank for the generator and they hopped into the car to get some more gas from town.

The car pulled up to the crossroads where the dirt road met the paved road. It was dark and quiet as 'Mockingbird' played softly on the radio. After checking for other cars, Natasha started to pull out onto the road.

There was a high-pitched whistling, and an explosion rocked the van and was thrown violently to the side, turning wheels over the hood.

There was a thunderous crash as the car slammed into one of the beams on the bridge, and teetered on the edge of the road-threatening to tumble over into the water.

Natasha and Galina were fumbling for their seatbelt buckles, groaning and spluttering cuss words under their breaths.

Natasha and Galina eventually ripped off her seatbelts, and the car lurched forward, towards the rushing river below. Nevaeh sucked in a breath, rushing to get her seatbelt off. After a few seconds too many, the seatbelt clicked and released the two redheads.

Outside the car, a van had pulled up and a figure dressed in black, heavy armor and a mask that resembled a skull was slowly walking towards them.

"I thought fucking Ross didn't have jurisdiction here." Navy says.

"I don't think that's Ross, Lina." Natasha says to her daughter and the said daughter gives her mother a 'i know that shitlock' look.

Natasha looked over her shoulder at the figure as she and Galina moved to the back of the car and both pulled out their guns.

"I don't think that's Ross. Whoever they are, they should know I'm a better shot when I'm pissed off." Galina's amazing mother that had almost gotten her killed in like five hours took aim at the figure and fired two shots through the window.

The armored figure whipped out a wide circle of metal, like Steve's shield but with a red hourglass in the middle and nothing else. The shield had blocked all of the bullets.

Natasha cursed to herself as she's trying to unjam her gun. The figure threw their shield, and it lodged itself into the window of the car.

"Mom, we need to get to the back of the car now!" Galina shouted out of panic even though her mother was right next to her.

Galina started to pull herself up to the back window, as her and her mother both scrambled out the back of the car, and crawled out of the back window.

Both girls landed on the pavement as the car started to slide and tilt into the river. Natasha and Galina both had their guns out again, pointing it at the other car as they started moving them back back towards the dirt road.

Galina checked behind her and her mother and looked up just in time to see the figure jumping off the top of the car, with the shield in its hand. Galina fired a couple of shots as the figure arched over their heads and landed square on their feet. Galina kept firing at the figure but it was blocking the bullets with the shield until the figure got closer and kicked the girl out of the girls' hand.

Galina pushed her mother back and charged at the figure, throwing a kick at their face. Natasha landed on her back and rolled over with a grunt as Galina kicked her in the stomach she scrambled to get to her feet and help. She managed to get up.

The armored figure stood over Galina with a small black case in their hand. They raised their other fist, charging a taser blast but Galina got there first, smashing at them with her knife.

Natasha scrambled to her feet and stumbled backwards. Galina kicked the figure back and shouted to her mother.

"Go! Get somewhere safe!" Galina shouted to her mother.

"What about you?!" Natasha shouted to her daughter.

"I'll be right behind you, go!" Galina shouted to her mother as the figure was deadly fast matching both Galina and Natasha's speed, strength, and even fighting moves combined. They grabbed her hair and pinned her hand holding the knife under her foot.

Natasha looked around for a weapon as she refused to leave her daughter to fight them alone. Natasha spotted Clint's bow and arrow that Galina had stolen a while back and snatched it up, and fired an arrow that exploded as the figure was distracted by Navy.

The figure punched Galina with inhuman strength, throwing her almost halfway down the bridge. While Galina was down, the figure walked slowly and confidently towards the mother.

Natasha aimed the arrow at them as her hands were slightly shaking as she's never held it before. When they got too close for her liking she shot the arrow.

The figure ducked out of the way as the arrow exploded a tree that was nearby making a fiery fire. There was a loud zipping sound, and the figure was yanked off their feet and into the air by a like Neveah had attached to them.

Galina raced towards her mother literally yanking her arm and the little black case the figure had a hold of earlier. Galina turned the bow into a staff just like Clint did at the airport when he was fighting with T'Challa.

Galina and the figure started fighting as the figure had a sword. By pure muscle memory of Clint and T'Challa at the airport. Galina threw her head back into the figure's nose, and threw her ankle back into their kneecap at the same time.

Once their grip loosened, Neveah scrambled as far away as she could, getting behind her mother. The figure went to kick Natasha but she and Galina moved out of the way, and the two jumped over the edge of the bridge into the river below.

The water was icy cold but since Navy and Natasha were both sweating it felt good, until Galina realized that she doesn't know how to swim. Water was burning Galina's skin, lungs, throat, nose, everything it came in contact with was pretty much everything. A hand grabbed the back of her collar and yanked her to the surface.

Galina sucked in air gasping and coughing up water as her mother checked her for further injuries, as she had a dislocated shoulder.

"You dislocated your shoulder. Hang on. I'm gonna reset it." Natasha says as Galina didn't get a chance to say anything as pain ripped through her shoulder as Natasha's hands shoved it back into its socket. Galina went to scream but Natasha covered her mouth.

"Next time warn me." Galina snaps at her mother before taking the bow back from her mother's hands.

"What did they want?" Natasha asks as she and her daughter both crawled up a little further up the bank finally able to take a deep breath.

Galina reached into her pocket, and in her sat a bunch of glowing red vials, tied together with a piece of twine. "These apparently." In the middle of the vials were something that was poking out. Galina pulled out the strip of paper and they both looked at it, squinting at the faint red light from the vials.

It was a photo strip. It was oldish with a little bit of faded color, with two little girls both with huge grins on their faces.

Neveah recognized the two of the girls as it was her and another girl with blonde hair that went to her mid-back with dark green eyes. Then there was another photo strip as Natasha grabbed that one and she seemed to recognize hers, as she was staring at the picture that she saw a ghost.

"Oh shit...." Natasha whispers.

"What?" Galina asks panting a little more.

"We need to go to Budapest." Her mother only answered.
