"Well… this will be interesting." Gwen said as she was sat in a jet along with several shield agents, Captain America, Black Widow and Grim. She was wearing a black bodysuit which had white mixed in to make a spider like design, her costume included a hood which she currently wore down and a white mask which she was holding in her hands. Today she would be competing in a mission with everyone else, the mission was simple, storm a Hydra base and capture as many Hydra agents as possible. While this was not her first ever Shield mission, it was her first one with Natasha, Steve and Harry.
Natasha was wearing her usual black bodysuit with her 'Black Widow's Bite' bracelets, Captain America was wearing a stealth version of his regular uniform, given to him by Shield. The suit was a navy blue, utilitarian-style suit with a Kevlar-based ballistic component that could protect Captain America but at the same time function like a military black-ops uniform, he currently had his helmet off. Another noticeable change was his vibranium shield, the shield was repainted for stealth missions, the red stripes were replaced with light blue stripes to make it less conspicuous. Harry was in his usual suit even though the hood was currently down and the mask was off.
"You nervous?" Harry asked Gwen who was shifting slightly in her seat.
"A little," Gwen admitted. "I've been on a few missions before but I don't think that I am at the point where I can just go about it like it's another just another regular day in my life."
"We've all been there." Cap replied. "You will get used to it, given enough time."
"If you don't feel ready then just stay in the jet." Harry spoke. "Someone too scared to move is more of a disadvantage than less people."
"No… I will be fine." Gwen said in a determined voice. "I promise, it's just nerves."
"I say we give her a shot." Natasha commented.
"Harry?" Steve asked Harry, he was all for giving Gwen a shot but he'd like to see what Harry would say. Steve could admit that he was optimistic and liked to see the best in people, Harry on the other hand would call himself a realist and isn't afraid to speak his mind when he thinks something is wrong.
"If she must come… then she'll stick with one of us so we can see how good she is." Harry said after a short pause. "Plus that way we'll be able to bail her out if things go wrong and we can see what she needs to work on in the future. She's currently our computer genius so she'll stick with Nat, the two of them can sneak through and get the information we need. Steve you and me can go kick ass in the meantime."
"So basically you boys play around while we do all the work?" Natasha raised an eyebrow, though the smile on her face ruined the effect.
"If you prefer to be shot at then just say the word." Harry replied with a small shrug.
"I wouldn't mind not getting shot." Gwen said in a thoughtful voice.
.....
"Alright," Cap said as he and Grim landed outside the building they needed to infiltrate. "you ready?" He asked as they walked towards it. It looked like a simple two story building but they knew there was a secret floor underneath it.
"As I'll ever be." Grim replied before firing three stunners at some nearby guards, Fury had expressed how much he would prefer as many of them as possible to be alive so fortunately for them Harry was restraining himself. Harry also knew that Steve was holding back a lot of emotion, hearing that the organization he had spent a large part of his life fighting was still active was hard for him, but to his credit he simply became more determined than anything else.
Grim sent the trio of guards away to some cells using portkeys, by the time he was done Steve had taken out another trio. Cap and Grim continued silently taking out more guards that were surrounding the building until there were none left.
"Do you mind giving me a lift?" Cap asked as he gestured to the second floor window.
"Get ready." Grim responded before he levitated Cap in the air and chucked him at the window, Cap slammed threw it. A second later a few shouts followed by gunfire were heard just before a man was thrown out of the window and landed in front of Grim, the man groaned in pain. Grim, seeing that the man was clearly in perfect health, stunned him and portkeyed him back.
Grim moved forwards, blasting the entrance door down. He stunned the first person he saw before hitting the next with a body bind. Ten more men came running at him but Grim waved his wand and a giant blast of air tackled the men, sending them backwards and crashing into a wall and each other before sliding down to the floor. After taking down a few more people Grim turned around upon hearing another person walk behind him, Grim turned around but was fortunately able to stop himself from blasting Cap.
"Second floor is clear," Cap said. "how about you?"
"Everyone on this floor is done," Grim replied while sending away the unconscious men. "come on, we got the ground floor left." He added once he was done.
Cap nodded and the two walked down to the ground floor, when they entered they found several men webbed up and/or unconscious. Grim didn't waste time and began sending them away.
"The girls have been busy." Cap commented as he casually knocked out one man who was waking up.
"Yep." Grim agreed once he sent the last on them away, the two then moved into the next room where they found Gwen and Natasha sitting at a couple of computers, Natasha was looking over Gwen's shoulder as she was typing away.
"You boys enjoy yourself?" Natasha asks without looking away from the computer. The rest of the room was messed up, tables were broken and everything else made it look like a storm had blown through. There were ten unconscious men scattered around the room as well.
"Are you done?" Cap asked as he and Grim walked up to them. Cap stepped behind them and was looking over their shoulder while Grim got to work and was sending away each person that Nat and Gwen had knocked out.
"Nearly," Gwen replied. "the other agents caught a few that were trying to escape through the tunnels." She said as she gestured with her head to a hole in a wall that was the entrance of a 'secret' tunnel that the building had which would lead ten miles away from here. "And we're done." She smiled under her mask before removing a USB stick.
"Everyone grab on." Grim said, the other three placed a hand on him and found themselves taken away, a second later they landed next to where the jet had parked.
"Good work guys." Cap complimented as they walked into the jet.
"How did she do?" Harry asked Natasha just as he and Gwen removed their masks and lowered their helmets.
"Not bad." Natasha answered with a small smile. As they sat down Harry gave Gwen an appraising look, a 'not bad' from the Black Widow was a bigger compliment then most would realize. Though Gwen clearly realized that if the smile on her face was any indication.
