Chapter 16 - The facility

Start from the beginning
                                    

"As ready as I'll ever be," He said as he pulled his mask on and grabbed Seven's hand, pulling her along as he jumped out of the plane, them both falling together. 


Seven and Peter landed easily, as quiet as possible so they didn't alert any of the agents inside of their position. They took the parachutes off, not needing them anymore, and ran a few meters to catch up with Wanda who was crouching beside one of the metal doors that would lead them inside the facility.

Seven could hear the Helicarrier approaching and Soon HYDRA and Ivan would know they were there so they had to move fast. Taking a deep breath, Seven watched as Wanda used her magic to blast open the door, taking out three agents as she did.

Seven switched on her comm, voices filling her ears as she heard the team giving constant updates.

"We're in," Steve said, they had entered from the opposite side, looking for Ivan.

"So are we" Wanda confirmed

"The helicarrier is here and SHIELD is ready to send in backup, just say the word" Clint informed the team but Seven tuned out the voices, peering around the corner, her gun in her hand.

The facility was cold and dimly lit. She had never been on this side but guessed that the layout would be the same. Wanda crept behind her and Peter followed them, crawling out of sight on the ceiling until they finally came to a stop as Seven recognized the symbol once more.

"This should be it," She said slowly, pulling the metal lock open and pushing open the door. 

Before she could even look inside, a blaring siren started to sound and Peter clamped his hands over his ears, his hearing sensitive. At least ten agents rounded the corner, immediately firing at herself and Wanda who only had a split second to react before they would be dead.

Wanda immediately started shooting bursts of her red magic at the men, knocking some of them unconscious. Seven pushed the safety off of her gun and started firing, hitting them each in the legs so they wouldn't die, but could be apprehended by SHIELD. Peter fired his webs, sticking them to the walls before jumping down from the ceiling and taking some of the guys on in combat.

Seven's combat lessons were paying off as she dodged the punches that were being fired at her, shooting each guy with perfect aim until each agent was down, most of them unconscious or stuck to the walls in webbing. 

In the midst of their fighting, the metal door had swung open to reveal a room of about twenty young boys staring at the trio, open-mouthed. 

"guys we're here to get you out of here," Peter said, trying to stand as tall as he could which made Wanda raise an eyebrow and she chuckled.

None of the boys moved and Seven stared at them anxiously, they needed to get them out soon. "Come on!" She yelled at them, getting their attention as they all stood up, almost all of them leaving in a hurry. 

All that was left in the room was a young boy, his dirty blonde hair hanging over his terrified eyes. "Spider-man you lead them back to the helicarrier, Wanda make sure no more agents are coming and I'll get the little guy," Seven said as she slowly walked into the communal room, hearing the footsteps getting quieter as Peter lead the boys away.

The boy couldn't have been older than five and Seven squatted down, ignoring all the voices from her comm, focusing on the scared kid. "Hey," She said softly, "I'm not going to hurt you okay?" The boy shut his eyes tight but still didn't move. "We're here to help you guys, get you out of here," She said, trying to be as quick as possible, knowing they were pressed for time.
