Me? Oh I’m Kali, Kali Green

Chapter 16 - Reconnaissance

As we arrived at Hungary we landed near a secret ops building heli like pad and got off, we went through a few doors before meeting with the president of the hungarian branch.

"Welcome agents I am the one in charge of this S.H.I.E.L.D. branch, please call me Agatha." She said as she led us in to her office, I wasn't an agent but I didn't wanna waste my time denying I was as I would rather just stay quiet as we ended up in her office she showed us a map of Budapest and we went through everything we know and is possible to use.

"So far the agents have sighted her in two different areas here and here." Agatha said as she pointed at two spots on the map.

"We believe the only reason she would be here was because she was using the hotel as a temporary safe house, but we are not sure so we got agents stationed around the area looking for anything out of place." She said as she gave us the name of the hotel and a way to get there.

"Here on the other hand, there is nothing out of the ordinary in the place but she was witnessed roaming around here more times than anywhere we could think and know." Agatha said

After the branch leader informed us of most likely places for the Widow to be and where she has been sighted on Barton got suited up and grabbed his bow and arrows, makes me think how profound you had to be to bring a bow and arrow to gun fights.

"So what are you thinking?" Barton was doing whatever he is doing with his arrows as he asked me without looking at me.

"Your asking me?" I asked

"Yeah" he shrugged

"I'm sure you know a few things about tracking, strategy, manhunting and so on from the way your three kids are going on about their ways." He said

"Sheesh just how much do you guys have on them?" I wondered

"Just enough incase they decide to turn professions and start being dangerous." Barton said without care.

"You really saying that in front of me?" I asked lost in my words raising an eyebrow.

"Just testing the waters on you." Barton said with a teasing smile.

"You should observe more carefully, It's possible to be lava then water." I said smiling back.

"Alright whatever's lets split, you go check the hotel and I'll go to our targeted agent maybe I'll stop at the other spot Widow was sighted at. Tell me if theres anything out of the ordinary." I said as I [KI Jumped] away disappearing leaving a shocked Hawkeye.

After a few jumps my ear comms started ringing as I pressed and Barton yelled out.

>You can fly?!< Barton asked.

"That wasn't flying hawk brain that was jumping really high." I asked

>You know damn well what I mean Green, and same difference< Barton said

"Haha we'll talk later but for now focus on the tasks at hand." I said before pressing it turning it off.

I stopped at the spot on the map that showed where the Widow would be spotted a lot at, the place is a party area clubs, bars, and apartments. It's the new Orleans of the place, with a thought I called up Barton asked his progress but he said nothing so far. Seeing him not going anywhere I gave him a few names of these club and bar names to Barton if he could see anything that could get us a lead. A few minutes he called back with success.

>Besúgó you said? Yeah there is a name wrote down on a note pad here maybe it could take us somewhere< Barton said

"Alright thats good come meet at the bar called Besúgó." I said and hung up.

As I walked in the bar and the place was bright with decorative lights lined everywhere like christmas lights, people young and old laughing and talking the place was lively. I walked to one of the bar stools and say down, a man gray hair and big stomach came and took my order as I ordered a whiskey.

"So you a tourist here too?" The old man asked as he gave me my drink, I sipped and answered.

"Yes and no, came looking for a friend but thought of enjoying the place a bit." I said taking small sips.

He looked at me and smiled cleaning his glasses, he gave me a few suggestions for place to have sightsee at.

I spread my senses and found a few energy thats larger than the normal human but not big enough to get my attention, the bartender on the other hand had big energy around him, not too big but definitely twice or thrice bigger than the normal around. I looked up at him.

"So whats your story old man?" I asked

"Nothing too interesting, just an old veteran who loves to drink. And what better way is there than to own a bar." The old bartender chuckled silently.

"Oh and how long have you had this bar?" I asked

"A little over 2 decades if my memories serve me right." He said as he poured himself a drink.

"Oh it already planted It's roots here huh? I have no doubt you would know a few things going on around here right?" I asked looking at him.

"I may know a few things I mean this is a bar and a lot of people come in speaking out their life troubles and such, but their really all just useless information." He said as he started cleaning cups with a towel on his shoulders.

I put my hand in my pocket and pulled out a small brown plastic bag and simply put it on the counter, in the bag was a brick stack of US dollars no one could see whats in the bag but on the bartenders angle he could see the green and his eyes shined and grabbed it putting it under the countertop and put on his nicest smile.

"What would you like to know friend?" He asked with his smile kind of made me wanna punch that face with all that shamelessness.

"Sheesh, alright so what's your range? What do you know and how deep is your eyes and ears?" I asked.

"I know a few big shots in the country or what they really do, I know a few places of interest, military secret bases, secret-government areas, abandoned military bases being used for other purposes, I know a few to count. But I don't know what you are looking for unless you ask the question." He said as he smirked proud of his knowledge.

"Alright old fart, what do you know of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" I asked in exhaustion.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. what is that?" He asked completely lost, yep wither he is lying or he doesn't know much about the forces in the shadows.

"*Sigh* I thought you know a lot." I sigh saying.

"I said I know things not all things." He said with a frown.

"Alright alright, how about a person who goes by the name Widow?" I asked and that was when his hands froze for a bit before resuming cleaning his cup glasses.

"Aah did I hit a nerve? Friend." I said with a smile.

"Black Widow? What kind of person would name themselves that?" Bartender said before cautiously looking around the room.

"So what do you know of the person?" I asked

"Nothing, never heard of her, you said her name is Black Widow? I don't remember anyone that goes by the name." He said with beads of sweat coming off his temples.

"Come on old man don't waste my time or you won't like it." I said putting my elbows on the countertop hand holding my chin sitting lazily.

"Listen young man no matter how you ask won't change my answer I still don't know no women that goes by the na-" he couldn't finish when I interrupted him.

"Really? Well either you are lying or you are just not telling the truth oh wait never mind their the same thing. Look old fart I don't remember saying Black Widow or the fact that she is a women, I said Widow and you gave yourself out the moment you put Black and Widow together plus the fact that you know shes a women." I said before downing another drink.

The old bar owner just stood there not knowing what to do as I stared at him playing with my cup, that was when the bar door opened and Barton came in. He looked around before spotting me and walked over, he looked at me than the bartender and had a confused look.

"My new friend here seems to know about our 'old' friend that we are looking for." I said looking at him as he look back and forth from me and him, before shrugging and sitting down next to me ordering a drink as well(If you are on a mission I advise you not to do this as it is not professional, unless you are a badass f*cker).

"So what does he have?" Barton asked me ignoring the man.

"Ask him he is right there and we actually just hit second base in our friendship so I didn't get much when you came in." I said taking a sip if my drink feeling the buzz as I tilt my drink around playing with it.

"Tell us everything you have on the Widow." Barton said simply and plainly looking straight at the sweating bartender.

"This- this women you can't be serious she is a dangerous in-" the old bartender said trying to talk us out of getting info from him.

"Thanks for the concerns but we can handle ourselves, so stop wasting time and tell us what we need to know." Barton interrupted

"You think I care about you two?! I don't give two shi- look I only give out information for money but there are individuals that I would rather not get in the way of." the old bartender whisperingly screamed.

"Alright look here there is no way for peeps to know about our business unless you speak it out for yourself but I doubt there is anyo-" I was about to continue when the bartender interrupted me.

"No! You don't know anything, there is also a big dollar sign on her head and others are aiming for it. Now I only vowed to do business with her temporarily before cutting any ties and staying away from anything involving her and that includes you too." He said as he stared at us in determination not to budge.

"You know my kind of mission is the simple ones; taking out a target, obtaining an item, or even simply protecting a man who has targets on him, not having to speak to these hard heads but to just simply pull the trigger, or in my case letting the arrows fly." Barton said

"Haha well not everything goes the way we want it, look old man I'm gonna be the good cop and ask you again or my partner here will painfully bad cop you now, where is the Widow?" I asked

"Get the hell out of my bar!" The old man yelled out when men around the bar started standing up from the tables around and walking towards us.

"Wow pretty big force just for a bar old man." I said as the group of men were coming closer taking out a expandable batons as they whipped it into their full form.

"Who are you guys?! Get the hell out of my bar and don't cause trouble!!" The old man yelled out at the group which surprised me and Barton.

"You mean they aren't with you?" I asked looking at the old man.

"Of course they're not with me those days are over with me." The old man bartender said.

Some civilians backed up while some ran out screaming calling for police force. The men were mostly wearing black with black beanies and hats and there were about 15 guys.

"Well this is the simple part of the mission, just beat em up before asking questions." I said as me and Barton got off the stools and looked at the group surrounding us.

"I like these simple parts." Barton said as he took a fighting stance.

"No! Stop! Please not in here!! You'll make a mess of the whole place!!" The old bartender yelled out.

"I don't think they'll listen old man, just like how you didn't listen to us. If you had just given the info then we would have just gone our own way not ending up... I don't know what to call this situation but I'm just saying it could have been easier." I said.

Then the group of mysterious men moved in, on my side one of the men who ran up first picked his right hand up aiming to hit me with his baton when I gave him a strong firm kick to his c.h.e.s.t sending him back along with two other guys on the way. I planted my right leg back on the ground as I picked up my left leg doing a turning kick to the side smacking the head of another sending him up and breaking a table on the way down.

Barton on the other hand didn't have his bow and arrows with him so he dodged a one of the guys with baton then took the weapon using it against them, he made precise movements not making any unnecessary ones and knocking the men out in ways that are working like a kick to the balls before hitting their temples knocking them out.

During the whole situation the bartender was holding his head screaming 'no'. Finding p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e in his desperation I grabbed a leg from one of the mysterious men kicking at me, I grabbed the leg with both my hands and I swung him around hitting men and tables alike breaking and knocking out all together.

"Who are you?" I asked with my smile at the last guy standing as I was holding him up on the collars.

"A third party in the competition." The man said before chuckling, the guy looked Russian.

"Third party? What competition?" I asked confused.

"Hehehe you think you are the only ones looking for the Black Widow? Please there are people looking for her even before you knew the name Black Widow." He said smiling.

"Oh you are the ones trying to get the bounty on her head huh?" I asked before knocking him out.

"She must have been a target for years." Barton muttered in thought.

We walked back to the booth and sat down to a very tired and grey bartender who looked to have aged in years.

"So I was wondering... can you help us with anything you know of this Black Widow?" I asked in amus.e.m.e.nt.

Few hours later....

In the end it was just wasted time as the old bartender had useless information we thought would be useful, but it was busy locations and such that the Widow used for cover and temporary hidings.

But they were not completely useless as the locations given to us marked the places she either would come back to later or not and put up some watch on the areas.

For the past few hours we have been looking everywhere, well most places at least, the target who was the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent she was aiming for was still stuck in a building waiting for her. Knowing the Black Widow in the movies I kept watch on the agents area in case she decides to do a face change and finish the job, I'm not sure about the men but I kept my eyes on the women around the agent.

Right at this moment me and Barton were sitting in a table that is on a terrace like diner area on the upper floor of the building looking out to the lower floors where the agent was at, me and Barton were having our breakfast and talking while our target was in an office typing away on his computer, though not sure what the hell he is doing but his guards were surrounding him on the look out.

"So your saying It's KI? And that everyone has it they just don't know how to use it?" Barton asked.

"Yes" I answered.

"And that is how you flew last night?" He asked.

"Jumped, but yes." I answered.

"Okay but like what are the benefits, the pros and what are the side effects?" He asked.

"Well there is the body hardening which is the most basic and easiest anyone could learn, then there is the maneuvering where you control the KI around you to move yourself, then there is the KI construct where you could manifest the energy making it visible and such. Like shooting a beam with your fingers or making a giant hammer." I said with my legs up on the table and hand on my head kicking it back spreading my senses around for anything unusual.

"Damn, and how strong can it get? Would i be able to do that?" Barton asked again.

"It can get pretty damn strong, and you probably can but I don't know if you can form the energies into what you want as only so far I could do that." I said

"Yeah but still the uses of it could give you great advantages it is pretty invincible." He said in wonder.

"Haha I don't know, I mean yeah they are strong but there are more forces stronger than it." I replied to his thoughts.

"Forces like what?" He asked.

"Haha are you asking because you are curious or is it a side mission to get some information out of me?" I asked him.

"Well both, but you got my curiosity on top." He said.

"I guess there is no harm in knowing some powerful forces. The strongest person I could think of on earth would be-" I was about to say when I was interrupted, guess thats the way of the universe telling me not to say anything.

"Is-..... si.... I repeat the Black Widow is on sight and she is spotted on top of the tower on the south side of the building rooftop!" The radio with Barton blurted out as both me and Barton jumped up and ran to the stairs.
