014.

LANA RAN down the corridor, her combat boots pounding on the metal floors. She didn't really know which way Dreykov had gone but she was trying to follow his thoughts. When she found them, she smirked. He was on the floor below her.

She blasted a hole in the ground and floated down. Dreykov stopped in front of her and she chuckled, "You didn't think you'd get away from me did you?" The ground rumbled beneath her and she smiled, "You are going to answer my questions, and then I kill you." She flicked her wrist as he tried to run. He was immobilised. "Neat trick, huh? Learnt it from a friend. What was my mother's name? And don't lie this time."

"I don't remember."

"Don't lie Dreykov. You're so bad at it. You trained the woman for ages and you don't know her name?" Lana tutted, "Talk before I carve it from your mind with the touch of my fingertips. And it will be very painful."

Dreykov didn't speak so she advanced toward him. She placed her hands on his head and her eyes glowed as she shifted through his mind. He screamed, "Alyena. Her name was Alyena Ivankov. She was one of the best Widows I ever had."

"Tell me who my father is, what you've done with him," Lana ordered.

Dreykov chuckled, "You don't want to get into that."

"But I do, talk."

"He was Ivan Romanova when I met him. He worked with HYDRA, later on, he left and we recruited him. He worked alongside your mother for years. They fell in love and had Natasha. Just before you were born, Igor betrayed us, he sold the government our secrets, he sold S.H.I.E.L.D, our secrets. When I found out I was furious. So I ordered him to be killed."

"So he's dead?" Lana asked but it was more of a statement.

"Yes."

"You killed my father and my mother," Lana nodded as she processed the information.

"And you should thank me," Dreykov smirked.

Shots fired at Lana and she ducked, her hold slipping on the man. He went toward the group of soldiers. They continued to shoot at her as the ground rumbled and concrete started to break away from the walls.

Lana looked up as they retreated, flanking Dreykov.

A boulder crashed to the floor and she swore. She noticed a window at the end of the corridor and ran toward it. She crashed through and allowed herself to drop through the air. She landed on the bridge where Dreykov's men were ushering him into a plane.

They shot at her and she ducked. She noticed a white figure running toward it and jumping onto the plane. they climbed up onto the engine and stood as the plane started to take off.

"Yelena!" Natasha yelled.

"Don't do it!" Lana shouted

"This was fun!" Yelena yelled back to them. She stabbed the electric batons into the engine and the entire thing exploded, throwing her back and the plane over the edge as fire consumed it.

"Shit!" Lana shouted.

They ran forward and Natasha scooped up a parachute. Lana jumped over the railing and Natasha followed. They fell through the air as the debris from the Red Room crashed down around them.

Natasha caught Yelena and hooked the parachute onto her. Lana continued to fall, her powers keeping her at a steady pace so as to not smack into the ground.

She saw Natasha let go of Yelena, freefalling through the air. She noticed Antonia following after her and a battle ensue mid-air. As the ground approached she slowed their falls and they crashed down.

Lana's head pounded as she smacked into the ground. She hadn't bothered to control her own fall, only Natasha's. She stumbled up as she saw Antonia and Natasha fighting before a red puff went up in the air. The two collapsed to the ground and Lana tried to walk over, holding her side in pain.

"Natasha," Lana grunted.

"I'm fine. Where's Yelena?" Natasha asked as Lana helped her to stand, "Yelena!"

"Lena!" Lana shouted.

"There," Natasha pointed out a white parachute and they stumbled toward it. Yelena was lying lifelessly on the ground. The two kneeled by her and looked her over, "Yelena?"

Yelena's eyes opened and Lana sighed in relief, giving the blonde a small smile. The blonde returned it, "We're all upside down," she said, referring to something they said when they were younger.

She raised herself with a light groan and Natasha gripped her, "Forgive me, little sister. I should have come back for you. Both of you."

Yelena shook her head, "You don't have to say that. It's okay."

"Hey. Hey. It was real to me too," Natasha smiled.

Yelena's lips quirked up. The three rested their heads together before moving into a tight hug, "Thank you."

Lana looked to the side as she heard light grunts. Melina was walking with the help of Alexei. They stood and joined them.

"Everybody good?" Natasha asked.

"I am clearly injured," Melina stated sarcastically. Lana smiled at her mother figure. She never failed to have a quip, even at the darkest moments.

"You got something to say?" Lana asked Alexei.

"I'd just mess it up," Alexei shook his head. He reached for her hand and she smiled, putting it together.

"Here comes the cavalry," Natasha drawled. Lana looked over and saw a squad of cars speeding toward them. She sighed. The government never really seemed to give up.

"So what's our plan?" Melina asked.

"They're here for us. You guys go, we'll stay," Lana replied.

Alexei replied, "That's insanity. We fight. We fight with you."

"We'll hold them off," Natasha replied.

The three started to complain. Lana smiled, "You guys go."

"Oh my God," Yelena groaned.

"Besides, if it can work out with the five of us, there may be some hope for the Avengers," Natasha said.

Lana put her fingers together, "Little bit."

"Okay, well, if you're leaving then I guess you guys should take these," Yelena said. She removed her vest and pulled out one of the hairpin daggers from the pocket and the other from her hair, "I know how much you like them."

Natasha chuckled, "Shucks. It does have a lot of pockets."

"Very handy pockets, yeah."

Lana took the pins and smiled at her little sister, "Thay can do serious damage." She made a stabbing motion and Yelena laughed.

Natasha took something from her pocket, "He had Widows implanted all over the world. Melina will need to copy the formula, but you should be the one to tell 'em it's over."

An engine whirred as a plane landed on the field. The door opened and Widows exited. Yelena walked toward them and spoke to them. Melina turned to the two older girls, "Hey, you two take care of yourselves. And each other okay?"

"Don't worry we got this," Natasha said.

"I know," Melina replied. She looked at Lana, "And the next time we see each other I want to meet this Steve Rogers that you apparently love."

"You and Steve Rogers huh? I do not approve," Alexei said.

"It wouldn't be right if you didn't," Lana smirked.

The two walked off and Yelena whistled. The two whistled back the long note from when they were kids before Yelena boarded the plane. As it took off Lana sighed, "I'm going to miss them."

"Me too. But we have this to deal with," Natasha replied as sirens sounded.
