My assassin PT 5
A/N: you will easily recognise who is Yelena ;). Ofcourse if you have seen the black widow movie.

The sudden intrusion of footsteps from upstairs jolted both Isabella and Y/N back to heightened awareness. Y/N, her tear-streaked face now etched with determination, locked eyes with Isabella, recognizing the shared understanding that danger lurked nearby. In a whispered urgency, Y/N conveyed the imperative need to vacate the premises.
As Rachel assisted Y/N in getting up, the air quivered with tension, an unspoken acknowledgment that their ordeal was far from over. However, before they could take another step, an arrow materialized with startling speed, embedding itself menacingly just before their feet. The unexpected threat sent a shiver through the room, forcing the trio into a defensive stance.
A blinding flash erupted, temporarily obscuring their vision. Y/N, accustomed to navigating perilous situations, blinked rapidly to regain focus. Rachel, not accustomed to such abrupt disruptions, grappled with the disorientation, stumbling backward in the process.
Amid the temporary blindness, a voice cut through the tense silence. "Well, well, what do we have here?" The mocking tone echoed in the room, revealing the unwelcome presence of a new player in their unfolding drama.
As the flash subsided, the figure emerged from the shadows, revealing a silhouette that oozed menace. Clad in dark attire, the newcomer wielded a bow with proficiency, the arrow that had served as both a warning and a barrier now nestled securely in the bowstring. Their face obscured by shadows, leaving an air of mystery around their identity.
Y/N, ever the resilient strategist, squinted through the dimness and addressed the mysterious figure. "Who are you, and what do you want?" The tension in her voice betrayed the lingering traces of the internal battle she had just faced.
The enigmatic intruder chuckled, a sound that reverberated with a mix of amusement and malevolence. "I'm just a messenger, delivering a warning," they replied cryptically. "You've stirred up quite a storm, and not everyone is pleased with your recent escapades."
Isabella, her instincts honed by years of navigating the shadows, assessed the situation. "A warning or a threat?" she interjected, her voice echoing with a steely resolve.
The mysterious figure remained elusive, evading a direct response. "Let's just say the storm is about to intensify, and you might want to find some shelter." With those cryptic words, they faded back into the shadows, leaving the trio to grapple with the ominous message that lingered in the air.
With vision restored and the threat looming, Y/N's eyes flickered with a renewed sense of urgency. The danger had not dissipated; it had merely taken on a different form. She muttered a Russian curse under her breath, a reflexive response to the impending peril that now required a strategic exit.
"I know a safe play in Budapest," Y/N declared in a low, assertive tone. The mention of Budapest sent a ripple of understanding through Isabella, her eyes narrowing with a mixture of caution and readiness. In their covert world, Budapest was synonymous with a network of allies and covert havens.
Isabella wasted no time. She nodded in silent agreement and stated, "I'll contact Florence." The mere mention of the name affirmed their shared understanding of the network they belonged to – a clandestine web that offered refuge in times of peril.
As Isabella initiated the communication, Y/N swiftly turned to Rachel. The actress, still processing the rapid turn of events, wore an expression of bewilderment. Y/N, adept at adapting to unpredictable circumstances, snapped her fingers in front of Rachel's face to draw her attention.
"Rachel, listen to me carefully," Y/N urged in a hushed yet urgent tone. "We're in danger, and we need to get out of here. You have to trust me." The gravity in Y/N's voice conveyed the seriousness of the situation, demanding Rachel's immediate attention.
Rachel, momentarily stunned, met Y/N's gaze. The intensity in Y/N's eyes, coupled with the urgency of their predicament, prompted Rachel to set aside any reservations. She nodded, signaling her willingness to follow Y/N into the unknown.
Isabella, having concluded her communication with Florence, joined the duo. "We have a plan," she confirmed, her gaze unwavering. "We need to move quickly."
Y/N, the strategist in the trio, took the lead. With Rachel in tow and Isabella at her side, they navigated the shadows of the dimly lit room, preparing to embark on a journey that promised both uncertainty and the pursuit of elusive safety.
The atmosphere inside the car shifted into a realm of precision and purpose as both Y/N and Isabella seamlessly transitioned into their well-honed assassin mode. Their expressions turned serious, every movement calculated and deliberate. Rachel, still reeling from the recent events, observed the transformation in awe and trepidation, her gaze shifting between Y/N and Isabella.
The distant sound of a car pulling up snapped everyone into action. Isabella, always attuned to the cues of the covert world, declared, "That's our cue." In a synchronized motion, they hustled towards the waiting vehicle. Y/N efficiently ushered Rachel into the backseat alongside Isabella, taking her place in the passenger seat. With a firm yet discreet command, Y/N instructed the unidentified driver to head to M-287, a clandestine small airport known exclusively to Arconia operatives.
As the vehicle smoothly navigated the streets, Rachel, still grappling with the surreal turn of events, couldn't help but glance at Y/N. Isabella, ever the practical one, sensed Rachel's unspoken questions and took it upon herself to provide some clarity.
"M-287 is a secure location, a hidden airport used exclusively by Arconia. It's our way out of here," Isabella explained, her tone reassuring yet tinged with the weight of their reality.
Meanwhile, the driver, known to Y/N as Anna, engaged in a hushed conversation with her in Russian. The exchange, veiled in the secrecy of their native language, held crucial information. Anna informed Y/N that there was a Glock in the small compartment, intercom earpieces, and three files – presumably containing vital intelligence on Alex, Melina, and Bozark.
"Spasibo, Anna," Y/N acknowledged, expressing gratitude in Russian. She then inquired about the readiness of the suits for both her and Isabella. Anna nodded affirmatively. Before concluding their conversation, Anna cast a glance at Rachel through the rearview mirror.
Speaking in Russian, Anna addressed Y/N, "Eto ta devushka, o kotoroy ty stol' ozhivalsya v treninge?" ("Is this the girl you spoke so fondly about in training? The snake seems to have become weak.")
Y/N, her gaze unwavering, responded in Russian, "Da, Anna. Ona - Rachel, moy klykun." ("Yes, Anna. She's Rachel, my Moonshine.") The weight of the titles echoed through the confined space, hinting at the intricate dynamics of their covert world.
As the car smoothly glided through the dimly lit streets, Y/N, with an air of practiced calm, opened the small compartment. Rachel's eyes widened at the sight of the weapon that emerged—an intricate masterpiece of black steel and golden engravings. The gun itself held an unexpected beauty, adorned with winding snakes etched in gold, a metal-blue rose at the bottom, and golden initials, Y/N's first letter alongside a mysterious 'B.'
Rachel couldn't help but be captivated by the craftsmanship of the firearm. The snakes, she assumed, symbolized Y/N's stealth and precision, resonating with the elusive nature of 'the snake.' The rose, a known emblem of Arconia, hinted at the clandestine world from which Y/N hailed. Yet, the enigma deepened as Rachel's curiosity stirred.
Noticing Rachel's gaze fixed on the weapon, Isabella leaned in and whispered, "That gun is specially made for Y/N. The snakes represent her skills—stealth and precision. The rose is Arconia's symbol. As for the initials, it's her name, but..." Isabella trailed off, a hint of secrecy lingering in her eyes.
Rachel, unable to resist the intrigue, probed further, "But what does the 'B' stand for?"
Isabella hesitated for a moment before offering a dismissive response, "It's just a designer's touch. Don't worry about it."
The cryptic nature of Isabella's explanation only fueled Rachel's curiosity. The journey towards M-287 became more than a mere escape; it was an odyssey into the enigmatic facets of Y/N's life, revealing layers of secrecy and complexity that Rachel had never imagined.
Meanwhile, Y/N continued her meticulous check of the equipment, her focus unwavering. The rhythmic hum of the car's engine underscored the gravity of their situation. As they approached the hidden airport, the trio braced themselves for the next chapter in this covert saga, a narrative unfolding at the intersection of love, danger, and the mysterious world of Arconia.
The car glided to a smooth stop at the hidden airport, M-287, hidden from the prying eyes of the world. Anna, the driver, switched to Russian, a language Rachel was yet to comprehend fully. Y/N listened intently, her expression serious, as Anna warned about the Shadow Legion's pursuit, emphasizing the need for caution.
"In Budapest, Florence will be waiting for you. As soon as you land, put in the earpieces. Connect to Captain Marvel," Anna instructed Y/N in a hushed tone.
Rachel, though unable to grasp the entirety of the conversation, noticed Y/N's subtle reaction at the mention of Florence. She flinched, a fleeting emotion crossing her eyes that Rachel couldn't quite decipher.
As Anna concluded her briefing, Rachel, still processing the situation, burst into an incredulous laugh. "Captain Marvel? Seriously? This has to be a joke. The prank's gone far enough," she declared, dismissing the gravity of the situation.
Isabella exchanged a knowing glance with Y/N, fully aware of the complexities yet to be unraveled for Rachel. Y/N, with an unreadable expression, prepared to usher them into the next phase of their escape.
In the private jet, Y/N unclasped her belt, signaling the start of their transformation. The confined space became a makeshift changing room as she retrieved two sleek suits from her bag, one for herself and one for Isabella. Y/N stood up, unfolding her suit with the grace of familiarity.
Her suit, an exquisite blend of functionality and elegance, was predominantly white. The design, however, was what truly set it apart. A golden snake was intricately stitched along the right arm, its glimmering scales extending to the shoulder, where the serpent's head coiled, creating an illusion of a living creature on her shoulder. The metallic blue belt, adorned with a golden rose at its center, added the finishing touch to the ensemble.
"Isabella," Y/N said, handing the other suit to her, "time to suit up."
Isabella's suit, tailored to her persona, bore a unique design. A songbird, crafted with meticulous detail, adorned the fabric. The delicate intricacies captured the essence of a bird in flight, with subtle touches of gold and silver accentuating the majestic creature. The belt accompanying her suit featured a stylized songbird motif, completing the ensemble.
As Y/N and Isabella changed into their suits, the transformation wasn't merely physical; it was symbolic of the roles they were about to assume. Rachel, observing the unfolding spectacle, couldn't help but marvel at the artistry and functionality seamlessly woven into the fabric.
Y/N's fingers deftly navigated through her bag, retrieving a third suit – this one not as intricately designed as the others, but unique in its simplicity. It was a sleek black suit, exuding an air of stealth and sophistication. The defining feature was on the back, where an Andean condor, the national animal of Colombia, was emblazoned in metallic red.
Turning towards Rachel, Y/N offered the suit with a warm smile. "I had this one made especially for you, Rachel. I like to be prepared for any situation, and I wanted you to have something that represents your roots."
Rachel, still trying to process the extraordinary turn of events, looked at the suit in awe. "You got this made for me?" she asked, a mix of surprise and gratitude in her voice.
Nodding, Y/N continued, "Yes, I thought you might appreciate a suit that connects to your Colombian heritage. Anna, the one who crafts these beauties, was more than happy to oblige."
Isabella, already clad in her songbird-adorned suit, chimed in, "You're part of the team now, Rachel. Welcome to the world of unpredictability, danger, and impeccable fashion."
As Rachel took the suit in her hands, she felt the smooth fabric and admired the intricate design of the Andean condor. "Thank you, Y/N. This is... it's incredible."
Y/N winked, "Just wait until you see how it feels in action. Now, we've got a mission to focus on. Once we land, we'll brief you on everything. But for now, suit up. We've got a world to save."
As the trio settled into their specially designed suits aboard the private jet, Y/N signaled for Rachel and Isabella to don their intercom earpieces. They secured the devices, and soon the voice of Captain Marvel, codenamed Carol Danvers, crackled through the earpieces.
"Good to have you on board, team. Y/N, Rachel, Isabella, we've got a mission in Budapest. The Shadow Legion is making moves, and we need your expertise. We've detected increased activity in the area, and our intel suggests they are after a classified device. Your objective is to secure the device and eliminate any threats."
Y/N listened intently, her eyes focused as she absorbed the details of the mission. Rachel, still adjusting to the surreal situation, glanced at Y/N, seeking reassurance. Y/N, in her composed demeanor, gave Rachel a nod, silently communicating that they were in this together.
Carol continued, "You'll rendezvous with our local contact in Budapest, Agent Alexei. He'll provide you with additional information. Remember, discretion is key. The Shadow Legion is a formidable adversary, and we don't want them to know we're onto them. Stay sharp, follow protocol, and report any unusual activity. Good luck, team."
As the intercom communication concluded, Rachel found herself in a state of disbelief. She stuttered, trying to form coherent sentences, and finally managed to blurt out to Carol Danvers, "Wait, wait! I'm not a spy. I'm just an actress!" Her eyes were wide, reflecting the shock and confusion that had overtaken her.
Y/N, sensing Rachel's distress, stepped closer, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. With a calm yet firm tone, Y/N began to unravel the truth for Rachel, attempting to ease her into the reality of their new mission.
"Rachel, take a deep breath. I need you to listen carefully. The life I've presented to you, working as a nurse, was a cover. In truth, I'm not just an actress either. I'm an operative, trained by an organization called Arconia. Our job is to counter threats like the Shadow Legion. The hours I spent away weren't spent nursing; they were dedicated to my role as an assassin."
Rachel's eyes widened even further as she processed the revelation. Y/N continued, "Arconia operates similarly to the Red Room, but we're on the side of justice. We've been tasked to neutralize the threats posed by the Shadow Legion, and you're an integral part of this mission."
Trying to inject a lighter note into the tense atmosphere, Rachel attempted a shaky joke, "Wait, are you telling me Marvel superheroes are real? Did you guys work with them?" Y/N and Isabella exchanged glances, a subtle acknowledgment that their reality was indeed intertwined with the fantastical.
Y/N, maintaining her composure, responded, "Well, not exactly Marvel superheroes, but we collaborate with organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. The threats we face may not be as flashy, but they are just as dangerous. The boy, Alex, who harassed you? He's a member of the Shadow Legion, and that's why we need your help."
Rachel's mind whirred, processing the information overload. Y/N and Isabella patiently answered Rachel's questions, addressing her concerns and clarifying the blurred lines between the fictional and the real.
The trio, Y/N, Isabella, and Rachel, had landed safely and reached the designated safe location in Budapest. As they entered an apartment, Y/N abruptly halted, holding out her hand to signal silence. Rachel, still processing the whirlwind of revelations, stood still, while Y/N and Isabella seamlessly shifted into stealth mode.
A voice echoed through the apartment, breaking the silence, "I know you're there." Y/N and Isabella, ever vigilant, instinctively reached for their guns. Y/N recognized the voice and softly gestured for the others to stay behind her. "I know you know we're out here," Y/N replied with a measured tone. Rachel, trusting Y/N's lead, placed a hand on Y/N's shoulder as they continued cautiously.
The mysterious voice spoke again, "Then why are you skulking about like it's a minefield?" The trio took another step forward. Y/N responded, "Because I don't know if I can trust you." The voice chuckled in response, "Funny, I was going to say the same thing. I suggest Issy and the other girl stand still, and only you start walking."
Y/N signaled that it was okay, and she took a step toward a doorframe, issuing a challenge, "So, we gonna talk like grown-ups?" Swiftly moving in front of the doorframe, Y/N pointed her gun at the person on the other side. A blonde girl stood there, mirroring Y/N's posture. The tension escalated, both women unwilling to yield.
"Is that what we are?" the blonde girl retorted with a chuckle as Y/N continued to advance, forcing her to retreat. Both held at gunpoint, unwilling to back down. "Put it down before I make you," Y/N warned, and the blonde girl countered, "You put yours down."
The atmosphere crackled with intensity as the standoff unfolded. The room seemed to shrink as the two formidable women squared off, their words and actions choreographed in a dance of power and uncertainty. The air buzzed with anticipation as the silent exchange hung in the balance, waiting for the next move in this high-stakes encounter.
Y/N and the mysterious blonde girl continued their tense standoff in the narrow confines of the apartment. The air hung heavy with the promise of impending action, mirroring the intensity of a Black Widow-style confrontation.
Without a word, Y/N made a sudden move, deftly disarming the girl and tossing her gun aside. It clattered against the floor, echoing in the room. The blonde girl, caught off guard by Y/N's unexpected maneuver, hesitated for a fraction of a second. It was all Y/N needed.
With lightning speed, Y/N closed the distance between them, engaging in a swift hand-to-hand combat sequence reminiscent of the skilled fighters from Arconia. The two women moved with precision and grace, each anticipating the other's moves.
Y/N's agile maneuvers showcased her assassin training as she expertly dodged and countered the blonde girl's strikes. The room became a battleground, their movements a deadly dance of kicks, flips, and strikes.
The blonde girl, not one to be underestimated, retaliated with a series of acrobatic kicks and punches. The fight escalated, with the sound of blows landing punctuating the intense atmosphere. The choreography unfolded seamlessly, a display of their combat prowess.
The narrow space of the apartment added an extra layer of complexity to their duel, requiring them to navigate and adapt to the confined environment. Furniture became obstacles and opportunities for both defense and offense, further intensifying the fight.
As the confrontation reached its peak, Y/N managed to gain the upper hand, disarming the blonde girl and pinning her against the wall. Despite the tension, Y/N's expression remained composed, a testament to her experience as an assassin.
The room fell silent, the echoes of the struggle lingering in the air. Y/N, now in control, maintained her watchful gaze on the blonde girl, waiting for any signs of hostility. The mysterious encounter had unfolded like a scene from a spy thriller, leaving Rachel and Isabella in awe of the deadly ballet they had just witnessed. "Please Florence, Truce" Y/N said and stepped back from the blonde.
Florence's kitchen became the backdrop for a tense family reunion, the air thick with a mixture of nostalgia and unresolved emotions. The aroma of wodka lingered, blending with the tension in the room as Y/N, Florence, Isabella, and Rachel gathered around the table.
Y/N, ever the composed older sister, took a sip of the wodka and maintained her stoic expression. Florence, on the other hand, poured herself a generous shot, eyeing Y/N with a mix of curiosity and skepticism.
"You've grown up," Y/N said, her voice carrying a hint of sentiment. Florence shot her a sidelong glance before downing her shot in one swift motion.
"No shit," Florence retorted, her Russian accent adding a touch of authenticity to her words. She turned away, busying herself with grabbing a pack of cigarettes from the counter. Y/N exchanged a brief glance with Isabella, silently acknowledging the complicated dynamics at play.
Rachel, still processing the revelation that Y/N had a younger sister, observed the interaction between the siblings. Isabella, with her background in the world of assassins, seemed unphased by the tension in the room.
Florence, lighting her cigarette, finally addressed the elephant in the room. "You had to come to Budapest, didn't you, Y/N?" she remarked, the smoke swirling around her like a veil. Y/N, maintaining her calm demeanor, responded, "I came because I knew you would be here."
Florence chuckled, a bitter edge to her laughter. "Always the dutiful big sister, aren't you?" she mused, taking another drag of her cigarette.
The conversation shifted abruptly as Florence pointed to the holes in the wall. "What bullet does that?" she inquired, her curiosity cutting through the tension. Y/N's reply, delivered with a matter-of-fact tone, added another layer of intrigue. "Not bullets. Arrows."
The revelation hung in the air, leaving Rachel, Isabella, and Florence to process the implications. Florence's eyes narrowed, her gaze piercing through Y/N. "Arrows? You've tangled with the Shadow Legion," she deduced, her expression betraying a mix of concern and defiance.
Y/N nodded, acknowledging the truth in Florence's deduction. The room fell into a contemplative silence, each participant grappling with their own thoughts and history.
Florence's demeanor shifted from defiance to a subtle sense of vulnerability. She took another drag of her cigarette, the smoke curling around her like an ethereal shroud. Y/N observed her sister's reaction, reading the unspoken complexities beneath the surface.
"You always had a knack for getting into trouble," Florence muttered, breaking the silence. Y/N responded with a wry smile, a silent acknowledgment of their shared history. Isabella and Rachel exchanged glances, sensing the depth of the sibling connection.
As the tension in the room lingered, Rachel, unable to contain her curiosity, finally spoke up. "Wait, Y/N, you never mentioned you had a sister," she said, her eyes shifting between the two siblings. Isabella, leaning against the kitchen counter, smirked knowingly, having navigated the secretive world of assassins herself.
Y/N sighed, a mix of weariness and affection in her eyes. "Florence and I come from a complicated background," she began, deciding to share a glimpse of their shared history. "We were both part of a program, similar to Arconia but darker. Florence got caught in the crossfire, and our paths diverged."
Florence interjected with a hint of bitterness, "She became the dutiful Arconian, and I became the lost one, hunted by the Shadow Legion." The truth hung heavy in the room, an unspoken acknowledgment of the divergent paths the sisters had taken.
Isabella, sensing the weight of the moment, shifted the focus. "We need to know what the Shadow Legion is after in Budapest," she stated, directing the conversation back to the urgent mission at hand.
Florence, ever the enigmatic figure, leaned against the kitchen counter, her gaze locked onto Y/N. "I can help," she offered, a tentative alliance forming in the face of a common enemy.
As Florence offered her assistance, Y/N's expression tightened, a mix of protective instinct and the weight of past decisions. The room seemed to shrink with the intensity of unspoken history.
"I appreciate the offer, Flo, but this is too dangerous. I can't risk dragging you back into this life," Y/N asserted, her gaze firm.
Florence, undeterred, leaned off the counter, her eyes reflecting a stubborn determination. "And yet, you practically brought an actress into a fight with the Shadow Legion," she pointed out, gesturing towards Rachel. The actress, sensing the tension, tried to blend into the background.
Isabella, observing the sibling dynamic, chimed in, "Look, I get that family stuff is complicated, but we could use all the help we can get. Shadow Legion isn't exactly a walk in the park."
Y/N, crossing her arms, shot a warning glance at Isabella. "This is different, Issy. Florence has been through enough, and I won't let her get dragged back into this mess."
Florence, however, wasn't one to be easily dissuaded. "Y/N, we both know I can handle myself. Besides, I've been dealing with these creeps on my own. Might as well join forces."
The tension escalated, the weight of their shared past hanging in the air. Rachel, feeling like an unintentional intruder, cleared her throat. "Uhm, I don't want to get in the middle of family drama, but maybe we should focus on the Shadow Legion? I mean, they sound pretty bad."
Isabella, with a slight smirk, added, "Yeah, I'm with the actress on this one."
Y/N, realizing the pressing nature of the mission, sighed. "Fine, but you stay close, and you follow my lead. No heroics, got it?" she warned Florence.
Florence, grinning at her sister's overprotectiveness, nodded. "Deal. Just try not to get in my way, big sis."
As they begrudgingly formed their makeshift team, the weight of unresolved history and familial bonds added an additional layer of complexity to their already perilous mission.
