CH 18: Natasha VS Winter Soldier

"Fucking pests." Natasha whispered, glaring at the HYDRA bastards. But when the Winter Soldier rushed towards her and started throwing punches, she didn't hesitate before fighting back!

As he threw a right jab, she dodged to the side before trying to punch him in the stomach. But the Winter Soldier, using his metal arm, karate chopped her wrist away before trying to hit her with a right hook with his normal hand!

However, Natasha ducked her head and dodged, just to see his knee coming right up to her gorgeous face. She raised her hands, and instead of stopping his leg, used the force behind it to jump back.

Jump back to the extra pests! One of them, a rather uninjured one, quickly aimed up to shoot her. However, he didn't notice the tiny red tendril that suddenly showed up beside his hand.

Once he noticed it, it was already too late. Because the tiny red tendril had grabbed onto the hangnail of his thumb! "Who's not traumatized? Not you." Chaos's playful voice came, and the tiny red tendril pulled on the hangnail! "UUUGGGHHH!!!!" A bloodcurdling scream left the HYDRA soldier as the hangnail ripped his skin and went all the way to his elbow!

"(Hiss...)" Even Chaos hissed in pain at the horrifying scene that he created. But well, it had at least made for a good distraction. Because hearing his painful scream, the others turned to look at him.

It was only for a single moment, but even that was a lot for the Symbiotic duo. When Natasha landed on the ground, right in the middle of the 4 agents, the Symbiote's biomass on her waist retreated, and revealed her guns.

Guns that she immediately took out and with her fast quickdraw, she was fast enough to kill all four of the HYDRA extras in a single split of a second!

The moment they all dropped dead on the ground, she rolled the guns in her hands before aiming to shoot at the metal armed man. However, he was quick enough to take cover behind a car just as she was about to aim!

But that didn't stop her from shooting at the car and emptying her cli-... Mags on him! Unfortunately though, none of them managed to hit him.

As she put the guns back in their holsters, her Symbiotic Sense went off once again. She immediately bent backwards, doing a matrix dodge when the door of a car came flying at her, intending to cut her in half!

Just as she dodged it, she grabbed the door's side, spun in place, and threw it right back at Winter Soldier! He barely dodged the door that was going to give him the Captain Carter treatment of Dr Strange: Multiverse Of Madness!

After he looked at the door that went quite a bit into the car behind him, he immediately turned to the Symbiotic duo. However, she didn't give him the chance to dodge this time, and rammed into his chest shoulder first!

Slamming him into the car and creating a huge dent on its side! The mind controlled man groaned, but immediately got back into action and kicked her in the stomach, sending her away and creating some distance between them.

The two stood some distance away from each other, glaring at each other as Natasha cursed :"Persistent little shit." And they both immediately rushed towards each other.

When the Winter Soldier threw a punch with his metal arm, Natasha dodged, and spun in place before delivering a kick right into his guts! The brown haired man grunted as he took a step back, just for the redhead to jump and knee him in the chest.

When he tried to punch her side, she raised her leg and blocked it with her leg before punching him in the guts. Just when he threw another punch, Sam suddenly came down with his mechanical wings unfolded and kicked the HYDRA Supersoldier!

"Thought you might want some help." He smirked at Natasha, but she immediately shoved him away when he threw another door at them :"Look out!"

"(Man, this guy either really likes door, or seriously hates them!)" Chaos scoffed in amusement as the Winter Soldier rushed towards Natasha, and threw a punch with his metal arm!

But Natasha ducked and spun before grabbing his arm, and performed a double hand shoulder, throwing him away and off the bridge!

"(Threw him a little too hard, no?)" Chaos asked in amusement before his redheaded host nodded with a slightly fast breathing :"I guess I did." Then turned to Sam :"You alright?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm good. Thanks." He nodded while looking at the car door that had gone deep into another car. After a nod, Natasha turned to walk to the edge of the bridge :"Where is Steve anyway?"

"(He's there.)" The Symbiote inside of her stated as a matter of fact when she reached the edge to see Steve and the Winter Soldier fighting some distance away.

"(You might wanna help him though. He's getting his ass beat. Embarrassing...)" He said awkwardly and Natasha nodded :"Yeah, let's help out."

As she looked around, she saw the grenade launcher. With a smirk, she raised her hand at it, and a tendril shot towards it before pulling it towards her :"Let's see how you like your own toys, bitch."

When she jumped down the bridge, and landed in the ironic superhero landing, she immediately started running towards the two fighting.

Captain America managed to grab the Winter Soldier by the mouth and throw him away, but in the process, managed to get his mask off as well.

When the HYDRA Supersoldier got up, Steve was speechless as he looked at his old (boy)friend, James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes!

"Bucky?" He asked in shock, breathless. But the neutral and serious look stayed on Bucky's face :"Who the hell is Bucky?" Before he drew a handgun and got ready to shoot!

But thankfully for Steve, Sam flew down and kicked the Winter Soldier away. But he just got up and got ready to shoot again when Sam landed on the ground.

However, once he saw Natasha running towards them, he immediately dodged when she shot a grenade at him! The grenade hit a car, and it exploded. But when the smoke went away, Winter Soldier couldn't be seen.

When the sound of sirens wailing was heard, Chaos returned Natasha's skintight red suit back to her normal clothes before bikes, black SUVs and such vehicles pulled up. Numerous armed and armored soldiers got out before they all aimed at the three.

As they walked towards them, Rumlow was also among them :"Drop the shield, Cap! Get on your knees! Get on your knees!" And Steve slowly put his shield down, before Rumlow kicked the back of his knee and forced him to kneel :"Get down, get down! Get on your knees! Down!"

"(Geez, alright! He did! Damn!)" The red Symbiote rolled his nonexistent eyes before asking his host :"(Should we just go Symbiote Mode and kill them all? It won't be any problem.)"

"No." Natasha whispered as she put her gun down and raised her hands in surrender :"There's a news helicopter in the sky.

People don't know that we're the victims here, so you'll definitely get a bad reputation if you do. Also, we should hit them when they don't expect it. So let them think they've captured us."

"(C'mon, that's so boring. Can't we just kill them all?)" He groaned in annoyance and she whispered through gritted teeth :"Listen for once, damnit. Please. We might get innocent bystanders pulled into this situation."

"(... I don't really care. But well... Sigh, fine... I'll listen just this once. Just because you said please.)" He rolled his eyes and she hummed :"Thanks."

The HYDRA agents handcuffed her hands before pulling her towards one of the guns. As she looked at Steve, she saw him looking shaken up as hell.

-

"It was him." Steve said, sad, with thick, metal handcuffs binding his hands together while the three of them were inside of a car being taken to somewhere with two guards with masks on watching them :"He looked right at me like he didn't even know me."

Sam :"How is that even possible? It was, like, 70 years ago."

Steve :"... Zola. Bucky's whole unit was captured in 43. Zola experimented on him. Whatever he did helped Bucky survive the fall. They must have found him and..."

Natasha :"None of that's your fault, Steve."

Steve :"Sigh... Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky."

"(Sigh, so are we gonna make a move or what? Don't misunderstand, I'm feeling emotional here too listening to Steve... Not that much, but still. But I really don't like feeling like we're prisoners.)"

"... Sigh, well, I guess you can." She shrugged, pulling the attention of everyone else in the truck :"(Sweet!)" He called out in excitement, making her smirk when tendrils in the shape of huge needles shot from her side towards one of the guards, piercing through his chest and head, killing him with no problem.

The other guard took out her electric baton and tried to attack it in shock, but a tendril shot out of a tendril and immobilized her! Sam tried to attack her, but another tendril spreaded into a few more tendrils and immobilized him as well!

"Uhh, wanna explain what's going on?!" Sam whisper-shouted at Natasha beside him to not alert the drivers, who looked just as confused as him. But when one of the tendrils came to the guard's helmet and pushed it up and off, her eyes went wide as she looked at her long time colleague, Maria Hill :"What the fuck?!"

"That should be my line, bitch!" Hill cursed with a confused and offended face, before looking at the tendrils :"What the fuck is this?!"

"Not what. Who." Chaos's deep, smug voice came from the tendrils, surprising Hill even more :"What the fuck is going on?!" She tried to break free, but how could she, a normal human, even dream of doing that.

Natasha easily broke her normal handcuffs, before spreading her arms in confusion :"Isn't that what we're supposed to ask?! What are you doing here?!"

Maria :"I was planning on saving you and taking this asshole out when he wasn't paying attention. But I didn't know you had this... Whatever the hell it is!"

Natasha, glancing at Steve :"... So you're not here to arrest us?"

Maria, looking at her with a neutral face :"Wow, bitch. You really said that, huh? Do I look like I'd be working for HYDRA?! Can you please get these things off of me?! We'll get out of here and to a safe place before I'll bombard you with questions."

"Should I let her go?" Chaos spoke, and after glancing at Steve who nodded slowly, she nodded :"Yeah, Maria would be the last person to work for HYDRA. Also, I'd know if she was lying. Lying to me is kinda hard."

"Alright." He hummed before freeing her and Sam. And the moment she was free, she pulled her arms away with a glare at the red liquid, causing him to chuckle :"Relax, I won't bite. Not unless you act like shit at least."

Maria :"... What?"

Natasha :"Just ignore him. Where are we going to go?"

Maria :"... Fine, I'll ignore it. Just leave leading the way to me. We should get out of here first."

"Leave that to yours truly." Chaos's thick voice filled with smugness was heard as his head emerged from his host's side, causing everyone to look at his terrifying face with shock and horror before he smirked at Natasha :"Can I eat this guy's head though? I haven't eaten anything in a while."

"... Can't you not do it till we find something more normal to eat?" The redhead curled her plump lips, and he shook his head with a neutral face :"No. I'm hungry now, I eat now."

"... Sigh, fine... Just make it quick." The redheaded host of the red Symbiote groaned, and he smiled excitedly :"Hell yeah!" And he immediately swung to the dead body, before biting his head off along with his helmet and chewing on it like it was a delicacy!

"... What the fuck...?" Sam whispered out in shock and disgust, pulling the Symbiote's attention to him as he spoke with his mouth full :"What? Haven't seen anybody eat before?"

"I haven't seen anybody swallow a head before..." He whispered in disgust as he shook his head slowly, causing Chaos to smirk as he swallowed his food :"Then you should get some bitches."
