Vegas

Cuba ::

Alexei POV ::

"The mission is partial success, I got the package but, Melina and the kids are dead" I said to General Dreykov who's in front of me.

Hearing me say the mission report he replies "It's a pity that they died there, but are you sure that they are dead. If nit it'll be pain in the ass for us, and you know that very well."

"I didn't saw their bodies. But it was an explosion that took their life. And National Gaurds were hot on my tails, so I had to leave early to get this package to you."

"I understand. It's alright, they were trash anyway. There's always more trash fir remodeling."

Saying that he left. Well whatever, from now on I don't have to take mission like this one. Taking care of both of them were a hassle, wel Melina was a good one to bed, but sadly she's dead. What can I do..

September 16 ::

Las Vegas, Nevada ::

Natasha POV ::

We're safe now, after that night with the help of shadow soldiers we escaped from that explosion and they transported us safely to Las Vegas in 3 days. Now it's waiting game, Dreykov will have some doubts but, he'll have SHIELD on his tail, so he won't be able to operate in America for some time. Half of the shadow soldiers of Ace have gone after Dreykov for finding rest of the widows.

Six of the shadow soldiers ate with us and rest went back to Ace, for his family protection. Since we have shadow soldiers, food for couple of day's were alright, the problem is a house for staying. I believe mom will look for it tomorrow or day after tomorrow, she did say to us that she'll look for a part time job or full time job in casino. Yelena is with me now, mom is out there trying to find a house to stay at, and the shadows has given us the money and personal items from Ohio.

As I was thinking this mom came towards us, and said "Hey..., I can't get a house in one day so we will have to wait for atleast three to four days." She paused and continues "Because of that we'll have to stay in this makeshift cave for the time being to hide from the authorities. And are you sure that the guy who helped you has diverted SHIELD from us to Dreykov?"

"That's what he said to me." I said to her.

"Good."

After some time Yelena started to sleep, so Mom came near me and asked "Can I speak with your helper for some time, I need to get some understanding what will happen to us from now on."

"You can, but I'll speak with him first then you can talk. But tomorrow, he'll be asleep now." I said to her.

"I can wait" was her reply. Then she moved towards Yelena and hugged her to sleep, seeing them sleeping also made me sleepy, so I slept near them. As I was going into dream land I spoke to Ace through the shadows 'Mom want's to speak to you tomorrow morning.'

'Alright, I can speak with Melina.' Ace replied to me.

Melina POV ::

Me and girls are safe, I know that. The usual threat that always hung around in the air is less now. It's still there, nit fully gone. I'll have to make sure that there is no threat to my family, for that I'll need the help of Natasha's helper. I just hope he's a good guy. She did say I can speak with him today, let's hope for the best.

After thinking that I walked towards Natasha, and I looked at her for her to give me the details to contact her helper. As I was waiting for her to give it to me Natasha spoke "Come out." Right after she said that a figure clad in tactical gear with guns and swords came out of her shadow. Seeing this my eyes go wide as they could and before I can ask her what that was she started to speak "This is a shadow soldier in my shadow ordered by my helper, Ace." So her helpers name is Ace.

"You just have to look into the eye of the soldier and speak in your mind, and he'll hear that." After saying that she went near Yelena, who have amusement in her eye's. Thinking over what Natasha said I started to speak through my mind 'Hello.' To my surprise, I hear a childish voice replying to me 'Hi. I know you have lots of questions so ask away. But before you begin I'm same age as Yelena.' Hearing that blowed my head away. How on earth can a seven year old make plans like this?. Getting back my composure I speak to him

'Yeah, so not to be privy of your secrets, but how on earth did you make plans like that?'

'Ah... that. That was not me, the whole planing was done by my friend Alpha.'

'So is this friend an adult?'

'I don't know, maybe. But it's okay he's same as the being in front of you just much more intelligent and powerful.'

'Okay, that's enough. I won't be asking about your powers or anything. I just want to know this. How are we supposed to destroy the red room. Natasha did give me some hints, but I want to know full details.'

'Yeah, about that. I don't have enough soldiers to take them down so we'll have to wait for four years atleast to have the numbers for that purpose. And you'll be the one leading them, for the destruction of Red room.'

'So you are saying that, I can be at the fore front for the demise of Dreykov and his Institute?'

'Yeah. That's the gist of it.'

'Thank you for that opportunity.'

'It's okay. So, how are you settling in Vegas?'

'Ahh... that's tough. We can't use the previous ID so I need someone to forge that, then I'll be able to get a stable job and a home for us to stay.'

'You don't have to worry about ID's. You'll get that tomorrow, and they will be authentic and you can use it from now on as your real ID.'

'Okay, I can't ask hiw right?'

'You can. But I won't tell.'

'Thanks. So see you in four years?'

'Yep. I'll see you after the destruction of the red room. Most probably December.'

'Okay.' With that I ended our conversation.

Right after that the shadow moved towards Yelena, and she looked into its eye's and stayed still.

I think she's talking with him. So they are friends I believe. How about Natasha

"Hey Natasha, who is Ace to you?"

"If you ask me like that, he's my saviour, helper.... " then with a beautiful smile that I've ever seen from her she continued "But above all else, he's my first friend."

Queens, New York ::

Ace POV ::

'So now I need to make some authentic ID's. I can't ask tony that's for sure.' Thinking this I turned around in my chair where I was waiting. As I was rotating I saw my upgrades PC, seeing that I had an idea.

If I get some computer parts, I can use Juryrigg to build something that'll boos my PC and using Upgrade I can make it invisible in the digital network. Figuring out the way I can make the ID's, I sent some shadow soldiers out to search for the parts that I'll require.

During the time gap got before the parts arrive I contacted Natasha

'Hey Nat, I have some question.'

'You can ask me.'

'Soo... I'm going to create some ID's for you three, so I would like to hear what first name and second name's will you guys take.'

'Wait a minute, I'll ask Mom.'

After couple of minutes she spoke to me again

'Mom would like to keep her first name, same for me and Yelena, and we'll have the second name as Rushman.'

'You are taking the second name given by SHIELD in that timeline right. Why?'

'Because of four reasons, one. We can't use Russian surname in USA, two. all of us like it, three, it's a cool second name to have and four. My father sold me to Dreykov, so I would like to get rid of that name.'

'Mmmhmm I get it. So I'll make the ID's today with two bank account, a house and a job interview for Melina.'

'You can do that?'

'Ohh.. I can do more than that. But I don't have any resources now. So you'll get your documents in couple of days okay.'

'Thanks Ace, for all of this. I hope we'll meet face to face one day right?'

'That we'll do. Only after four years tough, I don't want Dreykov to come after you if you come to New York. So, wait fir the day we meet each other okay.'

'Alright'

I ended our conversation with that.

After a five hours of extensive search, the shadow soldiers returned to me with a lot of parts. As soon as they arrived I turned in to Juryrigg and started to do my magic. After finishing that I changed into Upgrade and combined both my PC and the newly built tech by Juryrigg into one. And using Upgrade's technomancy I connected to the internet and hacked into Government agencies without their knowledge and created new ID's for the three of them. Even if the authorities get suspicious about their id, after checking through their system they find that they have been living in State of Nevada for past six years, and they have two bank account, one for Melina and one for Nat and Yelena, that one is a joint account. And using upgrade I transferred some money from corrupt politicians, civil officer's, and some of the maafia in New York. They won't find any difference now, because I've only taken little bit from everyone. But they'll know one day, it's only that they'll never find the culprit. After settling that I looked for some House's for them to live and a job interview for Melina. From two days from now onwards in Vegas there will be a family of three, a mother Melina Rushman a widow, Natalia 'Natasha' Rushman first daughter and Yelena Rushman second daughter.

After setting everything right I turned back into me and started to finish the writing of second season of Tom & Jerry
