🕑 Added 2023-08-04 07:00:20 +0000 UTCBack in Peter's office, the atmosphere was heavy with tension as Natasha explained the next step of their plan. "My and Yelena's parents were high-level members of the Red Room. Our father in particular was a close friend of Dreykov, so he might have information about his whereabouts or how to contact him."
Yelena's eyes widened at the revelation. "You know where they are? Can we contact them?” She hasn’t seen or heard from her adoptive parents for a long time. Mind controlled slavery will do that to a person.
Natasha sighed, her face clouded with mixed emotions. "I don't know where our mother is. She could be dead for all I know, but our father is currently in the Seventh Circle Prison, for criticize the Russian government. It's a black site prison built for high-level prisoners."
Yelena was taken aback, disbelief written all over her face. "Our father is in prison? Why didn't you tell me? He raised us like we were his own children, even if it was for only a single mission. I can't believe you just wrote him off like that."
Natasha's gaze hardened, a hint of remorse evident in her voice. "After I joined Shield, I wanted to distance myself from any reminders of my past. I heard about his imprisonment and just thought… maybe he deserved it? You know, we did some horrible things in the Red Room, him included. I’ll admit, he was a good father for the short time that we had him, but he was a horrible person."
Yelena's anger softened, replaced with sadness and understanding. "I get what you mean, but he's still our father, Nat. He cared for us like we were his own children, and he didn’t have to. We owe him… even if he’s a complete and total d*ck." She said, causing her sister to laugh.
In 1992, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, their father, Alexei Shostakov was sent deep undercover in Ohio to infiltrate and destroy a Hydra occupied Institute within Shield, assigned with Melina Vostokoff, their mother, to pose as an American family with two surrogate daughters, Natasha Romanoff and Yelena Belova.
The mission was simple for the newly made sisters, pretend to be a happy American family, but behind closed doors, they didn’t have to act. They could have just pretended for their neighbors, friends, and colleagues, but no, Alexei treated them like his own children 24/7, as if he actually adopted them.
And this small action triggered their mother, Melina to do the same. Within a couple weeks of their mission, what was supposed to be a fake family turned into a real, loving household. Melina took care of the house and the children, while Alexei went to work, providing for the family. Natasha and Yelena even went to school for the first and last time.
And between all of that, they actually spent time as a family, watching TV, playing games, visiting amusement parks, cooking in the kitchen. For the first time ever, Natasha and Yelena felt what it was like to live normally. No killing, no brainwashing, no experiments, no cruelty. It was beautiful.
Of course, Alexei had many faults, but at the end of the day, he was a good father to them during that mission.
This is why Natasha was so quick to accept Shields offer and betray the Red Room. Because when that dream-like mission came to end, so did their happy family. Their parents disappeared, leaving them in the hands of the Red Room once again.
And before they knew what happened, It was right back to killing, brainwashing, experiments, and cruelty. Natasha didn’t want that for her sister. And if her ‘parents’ wouldn’t do anything about it, then she would.
Peter watched the emotional exchange, sensing the complex bond between the sisters. "From what I’m hearing, you’re both right in your own ways, but your father might be the key to finding Dreykov, so we should get him. And who knows what’s happened to your mother. For all we know, she could be a mind controlled slave right now…"
Natasha nodded, tears glistening in her eyes. "You're right, we should break him out..."
“You should have broken him out years ago…” Yelena huffed, though she turned sympathetic as Natasha flinched at her words. "Look, everything will be okay. Besides, he was a raging douche bag, so maybe prison has taught him a lesson?"
Taking a deep breath, Natasha composed herself. "Alright, I'll figure out a way to get him out, but we need to be careful. I’m sure the Red Room has eyes and ears everywhere, especially in Russia."
Peter smirked under his mask and waved his hand. “Did you forget that I can open portals to just about anywhere?" He asks as a golden portal appeared, showing the rocky landscape of the moon. “Just get me the prisons coordinates and I’ll have your Daddy here in no time.”
“Woah…” Yelena muttered in awe. “I heard Spider-Man could open portals, but this is crazy…”
Natasha nodded. “That makes things easier. I’ll make some calls. Since it’s a black site, we won’t be able to get coordinates the normal way, but Shield should have something…” She said as she rushed out of the office.
…
A half an hour later, Natasha returned to the office and handed Peter a piece of paper with the precise coordinates of the prison, and he waved his hand, opening a portal to the heavily fortified facility.
The trio stepped through the portal, finding themselves in the shadows just inside the prison's high walls. Armed guards patrolled the perimeter, and surveillance cameras were placed at strategic points, watching every move.
"Okay, we need to be quick and silent," Natasha whispered, her eyes scanning their surroundings. "He has to be in a cell designed to contain someone with superhuman abilities, so we need to find a way to get him out without triggering any alarms."
“Your dad’s enhanced?” Peter asked, pretending that he didn’t already know.
“Have you heard of the Red Guardian?” Yelena asked, as if she were bragging.
“You mean, Russia’s Captain America knock-off?” Peter answered, a teasing smirk hidden under his mask.
Yelena frowned, unhappy. “He’s not a-”
Natasha interrupted their conversation, an annoyed scowl on her face. “Can we please talk about this later? I’d like to break Alexei out without tipping Dreykov off.”
Yelena huffed. “Fine.”
Peter nodded, his senses heightened as he assessed the situation. "Okay, I’ll open another portal deep inside the prison. From there, we can try to find his cell."
Natasha glanced at Yelena, her expression firm. "Stay close to me, Yelena."
Yelena nodded, her face resolute. "We've got this."
Peter waved his hand, creating a second portal inside the prison. They stepped through, finding themselves in a dimly lit corridor with cells lining the walls. Natasha led the way, her years of espionage experience guiding them through the maze-like layout.
As they approached Alexei's cell, they could see him sitting in the corner, his large figure hunched over, seemingly lost in thought. Natasha's heart clenched at the sight of her father, and she swallowed back the rush of emotions threatening to overwhelm her. Both good and bad.
"So, do you have a plan to open that cell?" Yelena asked, her voice low. “A portal maybe?”
Peter nodded, stepping closer to the thick metal door. He tapped his knuckles on the door, his hands glowed with a faint, otherworldly light as he began to manipulate the energy around the cell door.
The cell door seemed to shake for a moment before shimmering with a golden light. And in front of everyone’s shocked gazes, the door disappeared completely. Yelena especially watched in awe as it vanished.
Hearing the knock alongside a sudden rush of fresh air, Alexei looked up in surprise, his eyes widening at the sight of his daughters standing before him. "Natasha? Yelena? My two little killers? You’ve come for me!" He exclaimed, his voice tinged with a mix of shock and excitement.
[Insert picture of the Red Guardian here]
"Keep it down!” Yelena snapped at him. “We're here to get you out quietly, not alert the whole of Russia." She said, a small, unnoticed smile tugging at her lips.
Natasha stepped forward, hiding all emotion with a blank, annoyed look on her face. "Let’s go, stop wasting time."
Alexei's face softened as he walked up and pulled his daughters into a tight embrace. "I never thought I'd see you two again. Who would have thought my little murderers would actually come and break me out." He spoke, his voice gruff with emotion. "I knew you loved me more than that vixen mother of yours."
"Yeah, whatever.." Natasha muttered, pulling away from her smelly fathers grip. “Maybe save the hugs for after you take a shower…”
“Yeah, you smell like sh*t…” Yelena agreed.
With the three reunited, Peter opened a portal back to the tower, and motioned for them to step in. “Come on, let’s get out here. This place smells like dirty Russian as*hole.”
Finally realizing that they weren’t alone, Alexei turned to Peter, seemingly offended by his comment. “Is this the Spider-Man I’ve heard so much about?” He asks, looking Peter up and down. “You don’t look like much…”
“And neither do you fatty.” Peter replied, eyeing the old man’s protruding stomach. “Aren’t you supposed to be a Captain America knock-off? How did you get fat? Don’t most people get fit in prison? Maybe those Russian scientists got the serum wrong…”
“You motherf*cker!” Alexei shouted as he rushed toward Peter, who simply stepped aside and tossed him through the portal. “Ugh!”
Motioning toward the portal, Peter turned to the two sisters, who looked very amused by what just happened to their father. “Ladies first.”
