CHAPTER - XXVII

With Natasha

While Kamala released a little frustration for everything that had happened, she lifted Monica again with the armor stretching her arms dragging her against the walls doing great damage to the armor and the area

Meanwhile Lucy and Nat destroyed the drones, five minutes passed and only 3 drones were left, being the only ones that survived being under Lucy's control, Nat kept the guns as they had no bullets and used the batons again, being ready to help Kamala they turned to see a big shadow flying towards them, seeing that the shadow was Kamala with her x-arms flying towards them, Nat jumped to her right while the drones rose to dodge her.

Nat approached a giant Kamala the first thing she noticed was that the arms were surrounded by ice

She turned her gaze to where Monica should be and saw that the armor was expelling smoke or steam freezing the place where she was standing

"Shit" Nat cursed.

Monica : "Surprised Natasha, I created this armor in case situations like this happened, even though it's a prototype and can only use two powers"

Natasha : "You know you're like the typical villain, when they see that their plans don't go as they want they get angry they curse or disown, but when something goes right they talk about their plans, you are just a very twisted second rate villain."

"Tell me do you remember how many inhumans lost their lives just to create your adaptoids and that armor you wear so proudly" said Nat while her staffs were surrounded in electricity walking towards Monica making sure Kamala is not in danger while the drones protected her.

"They are only noble sacrifices for the greater good, everything I have done has been for the future of humanity" Monica replied.

Natasha : "Noble sacrifices, you lie to them, you kidnap them, you experiment on them, they are humans not guinea pigs, a future made with innocent lives" despite having a calm look on her face the words she said made it clear how angry she was at the answer Monica gave her.

Without further ado she ran towards Monica, who already expected that she hit the ground creating ice spikes surrounding her.

Nat quickly shot her hook to the ceiling to swing dodging the spikes but she had to use it again to dodge Monica's shots with Cryo energy, hooking herself to the ceiling for the third time towards the armor she made a pirouette dodging an ice stalactite by centimeters.

With the momentum of her fall and swing she used it to generate a blow to the cabin with her electric batons generating a great Baamm that shook the cabin making the armor kneel, taking advantage that her attack had affected the armor she hit with all her strength the joints that joined the arms by the time Monica got the armor back in service the joints of the arms already had some damage being noticed by the sparks coming out of the joints and she was a few meters away from the armor.

Natasha did not go unharmed even though the armor was taking damage it never stopped expelling Cryo energy causing Nat to take damage even though her improved physique was working on expelling energy.

Her face was pale and her movements were a little slow, the armor moved a few steps with much effort.

Monica was very frustrated and angry her best synthezoid and adaptoid creations were being brought down by two kids and a bunch of failed heroes as she always called them, she had used them, she had planned everything carefully to get the terrigen although she never plans to have it explode and create the new evolution of humanity the inhumans, all because of Captain America who got in the way of her plans, forcing the armor arm and aiming at Nat at a time when he could barely move was an easy target she could get rid of.

Before she could shoot Kamala appeared holding said arm, you could see that Kamala could barely stand the glow of yellow energy that surrounds her when she uses her powers was more opaque and her height was only half that of the armor even with much effort under the mechanical arm holding it with her arms and squeezing hard to start pulling.

"No! Damn girl let me go" Monica shouted surprised, she didn't expect Kamala to appear in such a crucial moment, the armor could barely move due to the areas that Natasha had attacked, and as if motivated by Kamala she exerted more force lifting one leg and kicking the cabin to use it as an extension and finally pull the metal limb off.

For her part Nat seeing that Kamala fainted after tearing off the armor arm connected her batons, lengthening after joining to be surrounded by red rays giving off great heat concentrated by the absorbing metal of Derek, making her regain her mobility ran towards Monica who was being attacked by the drones controlled by Lucy wanting to attack Kamala fainted after tearing off her arm.

Jumping a meter, Nat hit the ground with her weapon generating an electric shock wave pushing the armor a few steps back which he repeated three times.

Once Kamala was safe she hit the cabin which until now had resisted her and Kamala's attacks barely taking damage but when Nat's weapon touched the armor a large part of the cabin was destroyed along with what looked like a cut.

For a few seconds she saw for the first time in Monica's eyes despair, returning to what she was doing she hit her remaining arm where it joined her elbow destroying half of the limb, for the last touch sweeping the legs of the armor causing it to fall forward she jumped and used her Bo staff to deliver a hammer blow hitting the power section of the armor, so that Monica with her armor would fall and not get back up, not satisfied with that Nat used her Bo staff to hit the cockpit again causing it to roll to the left and Monica could be seen.

"Feels good to hit someone cocky like you, now to business, tell me where you were planning to take the inhumans in this prison and where are the inhumans before them Monica" Natasha demanded as she climbed into the armor and positioned herself in the booth to pull Monica pulling her out like she was trash while lifting her from the collar of her blouse

"You'd really love to know don't you?" Monica fainted after saying that, so it seems if she had suffered damage.

She put handcuffs made of pure adamantium to make it impossible for her to break free to carry her like a sack of potatoes on her shoulder, walking over to Kamala to check on her, throwing Monica to the cold metal floor like the trash she is.

She knelt down and examined Kamala to sigh in relief as she noticed no injuries that would cause her danger, She only noticed that she was weak and a little pale from overtaxing herself by using her powers.

While she was sighing in relief another explosion shook the entire section causing her to fall on her backside and pull herself together seconds later, worried about what happened she remembered Derek who was facing an adaptoid that she had never seen, as if her worries were in vain the cell phone that had been impossible to track and identify all this time she was in AIM infiltrated vibrated, pulling it out she saw an unknown number accepting the call she heard Derek's voice.

Derek : 'Hey Nat I just finished with this junk'.

'How did you know now was a good time to call, what if I was still going up against Monica and how did you get this number' Nat asked thanks to her spy side.

'Nat you taught me to be prepared for any situation and always surprise friends as well as foes, first Lucy informed me that you had captured Monica and saved Kamala so I didn't worry that something would happen to you if I called you, I got this number from the moment you warned us of AIM's attack on Tony's mansion with Lucy's help' he said it in a tired tone.

Natasha smiled at what Derek said feeling proud 'Well done, you're all right'.

'Just a little hurt and battered nothing that a good rest and food won't cure, I'll end the call in a few minutes I'll be with you' without further ado Derek cut the call short.

Natasha sighed and sat on the ground as she waited for Derek, seven minutes later she heard soft footsteps coming from where Derek had jumped earlier, a few seconds later Derek could be seen walking slowly, some parts of his suit ripped off, other areas covered in frost, forearms with purple patches with blood scabs and from the way he walked and breathed she noticed his ribs were broken or cracked.

Moving closer, Derek smiled as he saw that none of them had any serious injuries, only scratches on their bodies with the exception of a passed out Kamala, feeling Nat's gaze, Derek looked at her and sat down next to her, "I'm fine I'm already healing, I'm just a little uncomfortable feeling like I have ants on most of my body while it heals."

"I see..., I'm glad you didn't get captured Derek, with everything we did here it's safe to say Tarleton has a big grudge against you" Natasha told him with a smile.

"You can say that again, that big headed idiot looked more like a pedophile and degenerate trying to lure me to AIM so they could experiment on me" commented Derek feeling chills remembering the giggles and grim smiles the adaptoid was trying to show.

Nat and Derek stayed like that for a while, once he felt his body better and his Hp bar more than half he got up and approached Kamala, he smiled seeing that she only had small scratches but he had to look away a little noticing that some parts of Kamala's suit had rips revealing a lot of flesh, taking her in his arms as a princess he sighed (Haa, most likely when she wakes up she will blame herself for what happened, although this would happen anyway, even if she hadn't come, after all this was Monica's plan from the beginning all for me).

"Derek it's not your fault nor Kamala's, AIM no... Monica planned this from the beginning" consoled Nat.

"I know Nat it's just that all this leaves a bad taste, but Kamala is the one who is going to take the most blame she is very stubborn that way" neither of them knew what to say, until Lucy got through to Derek.

Lucy: "Derek at this moment all the Inhumans have left the AIM base, Theo's sister just woke up, I also inform you that Dante's mother is fine and is with the Inhumans, they should get out of there to teleport us to the anthill."

"Okay we will be there tell Theo's sister to communicate with him so that the anthill can prepare and attend to the wounded inhumans Lucy" ordered Derek.

Lucy: "Understood."

"Looks like everything went well Nat not counting we have one of the two minds in this whole AIM charade and evidence of everything they have done along with the names of the government people involved in the creation of the Adaptoids" said Derek

"If we are any closer to ending AIM, with the evidence we have we could fight for the beings with powers to have rights and just maybe for the avengers to be able to be active again without being seen as a threat" replied Nat seeing hope at last in all this time, she smiled to carry Monica on her shoulder like a sack of potatoes and walk along with Derek to where the Inhumans and Lucy are.

When they came out the first thing they saw was a hundred inhumans, but the ones that stood out were two people a girl very much like Theo in a wheelchair with Lucy on her shoulder and a woman in her thirties with a certain resemblance to Dante, Derek and Nat approached them.

Derek smiled at the sight of Lucy who greeted him waving her paw back and forth "I see you are doing well Lucy".

Lucy: "All thanks to your improvements Derek."

"Hehe you're welcome" Lucy jumped and climbed up to Derek's shoulder while Theo's sister who had her eyes closed implying that she was communicating with her brother raised her arms, from her hands purple energy began to emanate and a portal opened from which people with suits and weapons came out, some with stretchers and others with medical equipment all people from the anthill.

Nat for her part approached the armed group "Take her to one of her cells or where you can lock her up and be careful she is still useful" they nodded and took Monica still unconscious, out of the portal came Bruce with his typical blue pants, purple shirt and glasses.

Nat for her part returned to Derek's side, the moment they saw Bruce come out of the portal Derek smiled uncomfortably while Nat raised an eyebrow as Bruce approached them.

"Haa, you and Kamala okay?" asked Bruce looking at Kamala unconscious in Derek's arms.

"I'm fine, a few cracks here and there but fine, she's just weak from overusing her powers" replied a little uncomfortably Derek.

"I see why, don't you take her to the medical room to get her checked out and you too" Derek sighed and looked at Nat she nodded "Go I'm not going anywhere after all I have a lot of questions you have to answer and I have answers to give" Natasha said making Derek continue towards the portal with Kamala still unconscious.

Bruce : "So Tiny Dancer huh?"

Nat : "I needed an identity and a way they would think a wanted ex avenger would never use that kind of name."

Bruce : "Haha, if only you would do that Nat."

Nat : "I'm glad to hear you're okay Bruce, it seems like meeting Derek and Kamala has made you grow up."

"What can I say being five years inside the Hulk and the first thing I see are two kids wanted by AIM helps, although Derek learned a lot from you not only in fighting, he also learned from your sharp tongue to criticize" said Bruce.

"Mm don't tell me he told you that you and Tony look like a couple when you got reacquainted" smiled Nat.

"I think you better go to the anthill, get yourself checked out, Tony and Hank are going to want to talk to you and Derek about what happened here" spoke Bruce and Nat agreed walking beside Bruce and through the portal.
