Chapter 28 White Knight

(A/N: Imagine Natasha wearing the white combat suit from the Black Widow movie with a white face mask that lets her hair free.)

"Hey, guys…" She turned to the two people that were fighting on the rooftop. Alex had tweaked her voice so that she wasn't recognizable to people who knew her.

Nat was smiling under her costume. Alex had made this for her and she absolutely loved it. It was sleek, made her look sexy, and most importantly, it was bulletproof, then again, even her usual comfortable home clothes were bulletproof.

After getting rid of the annoying gun that could've killed either Steve or Bucky, she turned invisible again and kicked Black Panther's head.

He wasn't able to react and was thrown to the side.

-Cap, is it just me, or did that woman just turn invisible?-

-She did and she seems on our side. Try to help her out. I'll try to get Bucky out of this shit-storm.-

Steve ignored the cat-themed man who seemed to have gone crazy as he kept getting punched by air and followed after Bucky.

"Stand down, your Highness," Nat called out as she kicked him behind his knee and turned around to hit his head.

Alex had already informed her who was under that Vibranium suit. She was trying to pull him away from the fight.

"What?" He asked from behind the mask as he clawed the air in a place where he thought she would be.

Sadly for him, Natasha was just as good of a physical fighter as him. Coupled with her ability to turn invisible at command, she was basically unstoppable unless you were Tony Stark who had all kinds of different sensors like infrared and heat sensors in his suit.

"King T'Challa. This is not your jurisdiction. Stand down" She punched his face again.

Although he seemed to be getting a beatdown, T'Challa wasn't feeling anything since the suit was made of Vibranium. A metal that is known for absorbing and negating force with ease. He wasn't getting hurt by a single one of her punches.

After realizing that trying to fight her was futile, T'Challa changed tactics and started ignoring her.

He ran after Bucky and Steve at full speed while ignoring the blows that Natasha was hitting him with. The Vibranium was taking care of mitigating the force so that he didn't get too affected.

"Well, this is a problem… Is that suit completely made of Vibranium?" She asked out to no one in particular.

[Yep. Wakanda is far different from what they portray themselves to be. It's the strongest country on Earth with a literal shit-ton of Vibranium. I'm not exaggerating. Their entire culture is based around Vibranium. Vibranium houses, Vibranium tech, even fucking Vibranium clothes. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they eat and shit Vibranium too.]

Natasha was speechless at how to react to the information that Alex had just given her and just followed after T'Challa.

[Alex can you turn Steve and Bucky invisible too?] She got an idea.

[Nope.] He instantly shot it down.

[What's the problem?]

[I'm not wrapping myself around a dude's body. It's gay.]

[Isn't your race gender-neutral?] Natasha was both speechless and annoyed at his meaningless reason.

[Doesn't matter. I'm a male. I will not be cupping a dude's sweaty genitals.]

[Ugh, I did not need that image in my head.] Natasha was disgusted.



[Exactly.]

[You just made this thing a whole lot harder.]

[If anything I made it easier. Do you think that it would be as easy for you to wreck T'Challa without going invisible?]

As they both bantered, Bucky was running ahead with Steve pretty close to him. T'Challa seemed to be gaining on them since he wasn't being hindered by as many cops as they were. Especially since he could easily shrug off the bullets.

Natasha, being invisible, had it the easiest, and she soon surpassed T'Challa and started gaining on Steve and Bucky.

With her initial speed, Natasha couldn't have hoped to contend with these enhanced people, but with Alex increasing her limits and base stats and the enhancement provided through the bond, she was equivalent, if not better than them.

Her stats had been increased by a factor of 4 times with his enhancement. So it was pretty significant.

It had increased from the initial 3 times to 4 times since her bond was a Level 2 bond.

Alex updated that information in the skill description of that skill too.

‹Host Enhancement›:: Enhances the host's base stats and auxiliary powers that the host of the symbiote possesses. Passive skill (Can toggle on and off ). Auxiliary power enhancement depends on factors like the type of the powers and compatibility with those powers. Enhancement increases with the level of the bond— ‹2x at Lvl 0› ‹3x at Lvl 1› ‹4x at Lvl 2›

After they went down that building, it was a big fucking chase.

Steve after Bucky, T'Challa after Bucky, and the police after all of them.

Nat was the unknown variable here. Soon, she reached Bucky.

What she did first was to taser the fucker and grab him like a sack over her shoulder.

Before either Steve or T'Challa could react, the woman clad in white armor started turning invisible from bottom to top.

Neither of them had the presence of mind to realize that it was different from her usual disappearance style where her entire body turns invisible instantly. Especially since Barnes disappeared with her.

"Fuck!" Steve shouted out before hearing the whirring of another helicopter and some sirens.

-Sam! Extraction…- Steve called into his intercom as he heard them getting closer and closer.

Natasha meanwhile was running at full speed away after taking care of Barnes. She knew that Steve would escape the authorities after she got Bucky away. It would be the same with T'Challa. And she was right. The moment they realized that things were out of hand, they both retreated.

[You were really serious about not wanting to wrap around a dude, huh…] Natasha observed as she felt Alex's presence surrounding Bucky but not actually touching him. Bucky was inside an invisible sphere while still being hung on Natasha's shoulder.

[As I told you. I'm very much attracted to the fairer sex and ONLY the fairer sex.]

Natasha chuckled but at the same time felt warm inside. Although he'd disagreed with helping her out due to feeling uncomfortable, he still did end up helping her and making things so much easier. Otherwise, she would've had to do a whole lot more work to escape with Bucky.

Soon, after effortlessly getting through numerous checkpoints and encirclements, Nat reached the safe house that she had planned on using.

[Talk about security…] Alex commented after remembering the huge amount of manpower that must've been mobilized for this manhunt for Bucky.

[Of course. It was the UN committee that was bombed. Not some random meeting. They have to find the culprit or the UN will be left as a joke in the public eye.] Natasha didn't like politics, but she understood it extremely well.

After dropping the unconscious Bucky on the floor, whom Alex seemed to avoid like the plague, Natasha sent a text to someone from a burner phone, it was the address of the safe house.



"Hello!" Steve called out as he broke into the apartment that he got from the address.

As he walked in, he found the unconscious Bucky on the floor, along with a note left on him. Steve picked up that note and read it.

-Try not to split up the Avengers. The world needs you all. White Knight.- That was all that the note said.

'White Knight… Is she a kid?' Hearing the name that she'd called herself, Steve thought that she was a kid that liked Disney movies too much. Or had a hero complex.

He chuckled at her name for a second and dropped the note at the side, paying attention to Bucky's condition. Only after checking his vitals and knowing that he was okay did he sigh in relief.

'Someone's after him. Why frame him for this…'

-Sam. Come in. I got Bucky. We're leaving.-



[White Knight? Seriously? You couldn't think of anything better?]

[What? It suits. I wear white armor and I want to protect my family. It's perfect. Not to mention a nice antithesis for my Black Widow namesake…] Nat was on her way back to meet with Tony and replace Alex's copy of hers.

[Whatever… It's not bad per se, it's just a little cringe, no?]

[I take offense to that statement.]

[Whatever. How'd you like acting like a nice vigilante superhero for once?]





[I had fun. And tasing that fucker Bucky was just so fun…] Nat was a vengeful person. She didn't take kindly to being brutally beaten up by him during the events of Shield's fall.

[Is that so…] Alex trailed off.



Meanwhile, with Wanda.

Wanda was planning to go on a walk after being cooped up in the compound for so long. Though she was intercepted by Vision.

"Vis? What's up? I was just about to go take a walk…" She said as she picked up a windbreaker.

"Alternatively, Wanda… How about the backyard? I hear it's got beautiful flora." Vision suggested after abruptly coming in front of her just as she was going.

Wanda almost narrowed her eyes, "Vision, are you not letting me leave?" She understood that his flimsy excuse was no more than an excuse.

Vision looked down for a moment almost seeming guilty, "It is a question of safety."

"I can protect myself." Wanda wanted to know the real reason and skirted around him to walk out.

Vision still stopped her, "Not yours… Mr. Stark would like to avoid the possibility of a public incident. Until the accords are on a more secure foundation."

Wanda's face had a slightly annoyed look, but on the inside, she was feeling much more. She felt angry, untrusted, and worst of all betrayed. She hadn't done anything wrong. She'd even made sure that no one got hurt in that explosion that Steve should've been able to prevent. But this is what she gets.

"Is that so…" She said that and turned around to go back to her room.
