The wind howls it's eerie song, sending shivers down my spine. The day is coming to an end, and the night makes the woods seem even more frightening. I am perched in a tree at the edge of them, waiting for a signal to climb down and strike, should the need arise. I may not even be needed, this is supposed to be a quiet mission, no fighting necessary. Somewhere in the distance, I hear an owl call. I am curious as to what is going on inside, but you know what they say about curiosity (it killed the cat). But I am good at being quiet, being still, lurking in the shadows. I readjust my position in the tree. Tree bark is not the most comfortable seating material.
"Shadow we need you in here. Negotiation went haywire. Take captives not kill." Natasha's voice filtered through my earpiece. There was that signal.
"I never kill." I mumble in reply, sliding the hood over my head and climbing down quickly and gracefully.
The front door is locked, so I kick it in. Actually, I throw my entire 120 pound self at the door and (thankfully) it collapses. I run behind the guy Nat is fighting and taze him. I must have put the setting too high, because it knocks him out.
"Thanks." Natasha says.
"Where did all these guys come from?" I ask.
"I just found a secret door. Fireplace in the study. Must be where all these people came from. I'll check it out, while you take care of them." I hear Tony say. I shrug and pop my neck.
"Let's go!" I exclaim
