Episode 6 fanfic title part 2: Give me everything you need.
To continue...(Mia's POV):
It had been 3 minutes, and I was already running.
Why?
Because it was fun.
Plus, Hank had already gotten hurt in the head by them, so...what's stopping me from enjoying myself when I could just find more info like this?
Hehe, the joy of the pain and suffering of others is quite amusing, to say the least.
Anyways, I'm running in every direction of the helicarrier like it was a game of tag.
I could hear blasters being shot in the distance while I began my new mission: download every single file in S.H.I.E.L.D. I could take it.
Okay, time to put my skills to the test.
First, gotta find the main server room.
Time skip~
After a few minutes, I finally found it!
Big room, with lots of blinking lights, exactly what I was looking for in a Kids' TV show.
Now to bypass security... I locked the room and rushed to the console. The password prompt appeared immediately upon opening a file, and the password was "password." S.H.I.E.L.D.'s security needs a serious overhaul.
With a sigh, I thought, 'Well, at least, my mission is gonna make it easier for a while.'
I chuckle under my breath before---Omg, this is the fun part!
Already on the brink of excitement and adrenaline, I took out an HDMI 4K wire that wasn't connected to anything from underneath the chair (WTF, how? And why?) until I found an old laptop and USB device in a drawer, smirked, and plugged it into the main console.
A sophisticated surveillance control room, dominated by a large array of monitors displaying various scenes, with monitors primarily arranged in multiple tiers and columns, creating a sprawling wall of visual information.
On the desk, there were two keyboards and two mice, which meant that it was only used for two users. Being set up for more extensive control capabilities, I turned to see a black computer tower placed behind the desk, alongside other electronic equipment.
Then I spotted the monitors are the focal point, the one that I've been looking for.
In displaying the grid of live feeds, some screens show abstract patterns of numbers in codes, CCTV live footage on every corner of the Helicarrier, possibly streaming or filtered.
Others clearly display aerial views of cities, highways, or industrial complexes, characterized by glowing lights and infrastructure. There are also screens showing what appear to be interior shots or detailed close-ups of objects or machinery.
Within seconds, I use all my 'real' talent to bypass their firewalls effortlessly.
Seriously, S.H.I.E.L.D. needs a serious upgrade.
Downloading... Downloading...
'Oh, this is gonna take a while. I guess I could go mess with those agents, but nah, I'm kinda comfy here. Plus, I wanna see what kinda secrets they're hiding. Maybe I'll find some dirt on Fury. Ooh, now that would be gold!'
I decided to sit down and relax on the chair with my feet up, right after turning on the live CCTV cameras that covered the entire helicarrier, giggling like an idiot while searching for four specific characters from the show.
A camera caught my eye.
Within minutes, I was viewing its footage to find them:'Wait a minute...is that Wasp with Maria Hill? Oh, there's Hank! Good to know he's alive, especially Nick Fury and his agents, who's already pissed as he was. Hmph, serve him right!' I thought.
"---How did this happen?" Wasp's voice statically chimes through the speaker, whereas Maria Hill is running alongside her, "-It doesn't matter." She answered: "Right now, we have to get to the bridge."
Wait for it...and on cue, Wasp finally says it.
"-No." Her refusal to help Maria Hill made her stop and turn around to listen, "-Ant-Man was in the Big House when the explosion happened. He was with all the supervillains, especially Mia. Who we already know is hurt--"
Maria Hill snaps, "She is an experiment who can do anything while there's a breakout, Wasp. You cannot trust someone like that."
"Well, it's too late to know that for certain, huh, Hill?" I grinned, sticking my tongue out on the screen while listening to the conversation and copying all files, both trivial and sensitive, from the main console to the USB drive.
"I don't care! She's just a citizen being brought in because she needed to survive, I don't see the problem. But we have to help her and Hank, now!-"
Immediately not fazed by the superhero determination, I suddenly yawned and switched off the cameras so I couldn't get too into the series since it would cause serious timeline problems, as I was determined to download more stuff off the main console.
As soon as I was done copying the files, I ejected the USB drive and shoved it into my pocket.
Time to exit and make it back to the Big House.

Or stay awhile and continue surfing through the CCTV Live cameras.
Yup, I'll do just that.
As I continued on navigating through the system to search for Ant-Man's progress at the destroyed Big House prison, a sudden boom silently echoed from outside, and I stopped and turned to wait for the sound to pass; Luckily, it ended.
With a sigh of relief, I continue to sit down while typing away to find more live footage of the helicarrier, only to find a few cameras left with full access:
"Aha! Found one! And it's on clear 4K, sweet!"
I sat down and watched the scene where Mandrill made a sign language on how he didn't like his counseling sessions with Hank. "-Disappointing." In a swift kick to the chest, Ant-Man escaped King Cobra's grasp by shrinking, punching him, and then growing to full size.
Huffing at this, I continued to watch him get attacked by Griffin and let out an "ouch" as I felt sorry for Ant-Man getting hit like that.
But, it is what it is.
Suddenly, I felt the helicarrier land on something with a splash coming from outside. Sure enough, after opening the cameras near the window of the engine, I was soon met with the Statue of Liberty.
Jesus, I've never been so up close like this before.
In awe of it, I shook it off and continued on with what I'm doing. I switched it off and went to find more cameras from different prisons, one of them being the Vault. Now, I'm not gonna lie when I say that having main access to stuff like this is awesome.
But the fact that I'm searching for Hawkeye is a can-not-miss event!
"Oh, I gotcha covered, babe!" I cheerfully announced to myself, clicking on the camera's live footage, Hawkeye was just about to stop a red-haired woman with a whip, when an explosion was happening from my right side of the camera, to see Iron Man ready to take action.
Is it hard not to say that the entrance was piqued?
Yes, it is!
"Whiplash! Arrow-guy!"
The nicknames coming from the genius playboy of the MCU franchise in full 4k was an amazing way to start my day with, "Say goodnight." "Hey, wait! I'm—" It is too late to talk and reason with Iron Man, as Hawkeye gets equally attacked by him.
As well as Whiplash, who got hurt and tried to fight back, but failed and went unconscious.
Ha!
Then Iron Man gets ice slammed directly towards him, causing him to collapse and let the ice fall onto him: "Get up, Stark. We're not done." I watched, eyes narrowed, as a pipe burst overhead, collapsing onto the floor beside me.
Wires sparked and scattered, but I ignored the chaos and sighed.
"So much for keeping a tight ship." I mumbled out loud to no one and began listening, "All right, guys. We all know how this is going to end. Super-villain team-up or not..."
That's when I lost communication with their fight.
"Damnit! Why! It's just getting good!"
Before I could continue whining about it, I went to change the footage where I found the RAFT detention facility prison, and saw a purple figure emerge from its prison as another entered the hallway.
The moment I recognized the man on the CCTV feed, time stopped. It was him: the infamous HYDRA baron in his signature purple suit, mask, yellow boots, and gloves. My heart pounded, my palms shook, and disbelief washed over me.
I felt like I was about to face him. (but not fully)
"No way...is that...?!" I gasped, jumping up from my chair. "OMG IT'S ZEMO! I finally made it to the episode where he's introduced! YES!" I scrambled to connect my USB drive, and began screenshotting the security footage of him non-stop.
As I furiously captured every angle and pose I could get my hands on, whereas a dreamy sigh escaped my lips, and I lingered for a moment, lost in thought. Bringing myself back to reality, I cleared my throat deliberately.
With a decisive flick of my wrist, I swiped the captivating footage away from the screen, banishing it from view before its allure completely consumed my attention and I lost all focus on the task at hand that I blushed.
"Okay, Mia. Don't get too involved with this handsome villain you just caught on camera." I began to tell myself, while fanning my heated face from passing out in a helicarrier going down: "Everything is fine, just focus on searching for more information and get out of here, FAST."
On cue, the main console began to glitch.
Already quick to take out the USB drive from the main console, an idea struck me to hide it in my bra. I rolled my eyes at the ridiculous hiding place, but then again, it was just a Kids' TV show.
I highly doubt it would be noticed.
The shrill blare of multiple alarms suddenly erupted, their piercing sound slicing through the general cacophony. A moment later, it began to earthquake the place as a metallic, robotic voice amplified the sense of emergency, its monotone delivery impossible to ignore.
"Warning," it droned, each syllable precisely enunciated, "evacuate the helicarrier. Follow instructions." Falling, I groaned, then quickly rose to tighten my grip on the console displaying th
"Right," I muttered under my breath, the word dripping with sarcasm that I didn't even bother to conceal. "Just let me wipe the memory board first because that's obviously the most pressing issue at the moment."
𝚁𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚢 𝚝𝚘 𝚍𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚢 𝚏𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚗 𝚂.𝙷.𝙸.𝙴.𝙻.𝙳.?
𝚈𝙴𝚂 𝚘𝚛 𝙽𝙾?
On cue, I clicked "YES."
With that, everything was deleted.
Pleased with it, I got ready to leave, but the minute I turned around, I was met with a red-haired chick in a black suit get-up.
Fuck, I'm busted.
*The scene turns dark.*
*~~~~Finally, back to the same scene~~~~*
Well, there are two ways I could get myself out of here.
One, fight her.
Or two, give her the information she needs.
Or three, stall her long enough to catch her off guard.
I take the third option.
But the real question is, why didn't I see this coming?
Why didn't I see Black Widow coming?
Many questions began swirling everywhere until she snapped me out of my thoughts.
"What are you doing in here?"
Her voice echoed like they were music to my ears, my face scrunched up, trying to look innocent. "Me? Oh, you know, just admiring the... uh... emergency exit signs? They're very... red."
Smooth, Mia, real smooth. I could practically feel the heat of her glare boring into me.
Damnit, she's good-looking too!
"Don't play dumb with me. I saw you on the cameras."
Busted. Again.
"What did you download?"
Time for some stalling.
"Download? What's a download? Is that some kind of new dance move? 'Cause I'm totally out of the loop. I've been, like, totally focused on...saving kittens. Yeah, that's it. Saving kittens from... burning buildings." I mentally facepalmed.
'Seriously, kittens?'
Black Widow raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You expect me to believe that?"
"A girl can dream," I said, batting my eyelashes. "Let's skip the spy act, I'm on a tight schedule—kitten-saving and all."
She stepped closer, her voice a dangerous whisper. "Whatever you download, I want it."
"How about no?"
I smile at her, and I watch her come much closer than before: "You're playing a dangerous game."
"And so are you! LOOK OUT!" I shouted, pointing at the swinging pipe. The large swinging pipe caught Black Widow off guard, slamming her against the wall. She collapsed, unconscious, while I had already moved to safety.
Everything fell into silence.
Blinked once.
Blinked twice.
Until I started to sing the WII sports bowling theme music kicks in like a meme.
"Dun, dun, dun daran, dun! Nice xxxx~"
I danced briefly before running, then stopping with a sigh. Guilt consumed me as I glanced back at the unconscious Black Widow. Ignoring my urge to flee, I turned, hefted her arm over my shoulder, and struggled toward the exit as more wires fell.
It took a full minute to reach a section where empty stacks of helicopters remained intact. I groaned, annoyed by the additional distance, but pressed on.
*scene changes to Mia placing Black Widow inside the helicopter seat*
"Okay, time to drop you off now."
Just then, I put the seatbelt on her and left.
Now, fully free from guilt, my happy smile vanished as the helicarrier tilted sharply. "Oh shit!" I grabbed a pole for support. "Okay, this is not what I signed up for!" Spotting a rope leading to the edge, I changed course, scurrying along it before leaping into the ocean.
