Shadow Over Moscow [Flashback]

The powder trickled down upon the area gently, frost bitten winds scarcely made their way past the dusty homes and quiet brooks of this small Soviet town located outside of Moscow, near unmentioned outskirts. Two agents were on recon here, attempting to find information about a great and powerful man, someone whom happened to be a relative to the fellow agent of Sigma. Not fully sure of why they were sent here, especially during this time of year, Sigma made no hunches or guesses. Turning towards his comrade he spoke briskly. "The compound is stated to be just outside this town down in the quarry, if we cross town we probably can get high enough for a good vantage point. I am particularly sure opposing forces have filled the compound fully, so we must be careful. We don't get the benefit of reinforcements should things get out of hand." He was sure to make this well known as he walked through the patches of snow, varying in density and deepness. It was only a matter of moments before he reached the before mentioned location. Eyes trained at the gated complex below. Twelve guards were on this specific side of the building, it was quite the accomplishment really.

They were spread out, and keeping in communication with one another through walkies. Bearing bullet-proof vests and assault rifles, standard issued AK-47's. It was not particularly an effective gun, but for their employer it was an inexpensive way to keep their troops armed. Sigma watched carefully, analyzing their patterns of walking, and gathering data. "I can get in the building no problem, combating these foes however, that is a different subject. I think this is the part where you show us why you're so acclaimed." He joked even though he failed to express it visually. Having no actual laughter. It was just how he was built, unable to show emotion, even if he was capable of having it. "Do you happen to know what we are looking for exactly? I was a little lost." He stated these words quite carefully, so that his point was not lost in a sea of confusion. He was after-all, a man whom spent a great deal of time gathering data. Heh, if one could even call the construct a man at all. He was well aware of his role, and didn't attempt to make excuses in order to seem better than he actually was.

Well this was turning out to be an interesting day. Who expected Red Arrow and his partner Sigma to be on a mission here on this day? The year was 2010 and this was a recon mission. The father of Red Arrow was up to no good but nobody knew what. He had plans involving mutants. Nobody could actually speak on it without level 10 clearance from his organization which is only him and two other.. That is definitely something worth checking out if you asked Arrow. The snow began to land on his head before he zipped up his white suit. His usual outfit just in all white. Made just for Arrow in the snow. He is a native of New York so the snow wasn't something he never met but it wasn't his cup of tea either. As the S.H.I.E.L.D duo crouched down began a frozen bush Sigma began to speak he made notion they were in the closes town to the area his father was located at. If they crossed town they'd get close enough to extract information. He assumed opposing forces had filled the compound completely and that they should be careful given the fact it was just the duo. During this the duo began walking and talking before they reached the edge of their cliff looking down on the location of the compound. 12 Guards were on this side of the complex.

Arrow knew exactly how this was going to play out. He'd pull out a blueprint of the area. He had a few scenario's for this. He'd make notion of their firearms and their vest before hearing Sigma speak about getting in the building before he asked the question about what this mission was for. "My father. Aron Hines he is a senator. He usually deals with Superhuman Affairs which is a growing issue around here. S.H.I.E.L.D got wind of a plan of his. Something big. Something that could start a war... They sent me because they know I can get this job done better then anyone else. Especially with Toxic and Patriot both on their own missions they gave me you. A great choice nonetheless. Given your unique skill set this mission could become a lot easier or harder." With that said Red Arrow reached with his right arm for his bow. He'd put the bow in his left arm before snapping forward straightening the bow. He'd grab an arrow with a white head and spoke to Sigma while he pulled back with his right hand "This Arrow is going to shoot you a zip-line through that window right there it is the highest floor of the compound navigate lightly and watch out for armed goons. Do not engage Senator Hines if you see him he is more dangerous then you think. Anything that looks incriminating you download it to your hard drive. I'll be in there shortly." After saying that Red Arrow shot off his arrow releasing it as it went in a diagonal line downwards straight through a window. Red Arrow tossed Sigma the blueprints before shooting another arrow this time with a blue head downwards to the 12 guards which released tear gas. After that Red Arrow would slide down the side of the cliff to engage the enemies.

The living computer nodded at the words of his compradre, it seemed that there were more important dealings going on here than anticipated, and being a living nexus of infinite complexes he knew for a fact that underestimating an opponent was not a logical route to success, especially without substantial information to build census upon. Taking the cue from his ally he stood up and took a few steps back, running forward and leaping he would slide down the zipline cord and enter the office without making a sound. His hand had rope-burn, but he was not capable of feeling it, as he had severed his emotions.

"Activate Nanosync Program Alpha Twelve." He stated to himself cautiously as he he began to look around, he had already analyzed the blueprint prior, which he had taken from his comrade for safe measure. He took his time sneaking around, realizing that it would be beneficial to have some sort of cloaking device for later use should he acquire the proper blueprints for it's manufacturing. The cybernetic man knew that he would have the potential to be a great force in the world should things work out how he planned them. Very carefully.

Opening the door he walked down the long hallway corridor without any actually clue of where he should start looking, as several rooms had the potential to give beneficial evidence. He took a second to go over his memory data bank, which literally took him a single second, and he was capable of coming to the conclusion that it would be logically sound to disable the security systems used at the compound in order to gain the strategic advantage, however using his human brain, he decided to take over the security systems, that way he could help out his comrade.

Pressing his finger against his ear he established a com-link with Arrow. "Sigma here, over." He stated as he pressed his hand against a door that seemed to be locked by a password encryption, within a second the door switched and he was granted access, entering the room silently, a single guard sitting in his chair had been taking a nap. Mostly due to the boredom he face. There were terminals in this room, which was dimly lit. Making his way behind the guard, he reached around the neck of the man and snapped his throat. Before continuing. "Establishing an up link to security systems. Should save us time looking for the important areas of the compound, over." Within a moment of placing his hand on the console, he was into the security nexus. All the cameras were his own.

This was indeed fun.. Red Arrow hadn't been very active lately so getting his feet wet was definitely something good for him. Especially when he got to do it in a place like Russia. As Red Arrow made his way down the side of the cliff he noticed the confused goons began to cover their eyes and flail around. Shooting their guns around which wasn't a very smart thing to do in the place of battle. Red Arrow knew that. This is why he played it smart and stayed back for a moment as he grabbed three regular arrows from his quil which were actually red in color. He'd place them on his bow and began to pull back with his right arm firing the 3 arrows causing 3 of the men preferably the ones on the left to drop their guns out of pain in their hands. As for the other 9 they were still shooting. Hell they even killed 2 of their own men which brought their total down to 10 and only 7 were armed at this point.

Putting his bow away near his quil Red Arrow would reach for his bo staff before contemplating if he actually wanted to use it or not before ultimately deciding against it. He charged in with his good ol hands. With the hired guns able to see now they'd quickly point their guns at Red Arrow to which he began shifting position with every step before being shot on the right arm just a tad bit removed from his tricep. He'd move forward tho and advanced allowing for him to grab a hold of a man whom seemed to be in the 7 of the 7. Red Arrow would use him to his advantage quickly grabbing hold of the man behind him gripping his gun aiming it at his comrades shooting at their feet telling them to drop their guns. Upon them obliging he'd slam the hired gun he was holding on his neck from a belly to back suplex before charging towards the others.

Upon charging at the men Red Arrow wasn't expecting rookies. These men were hired by his father so they were definitely tough. He'd charge at the biggest one first whom looked like the brolic guy from Army of Two. Red Arrow would watch the man shoot forward with a superman punch causing Red Arrow to duck under hitting him in the gut before uppercutting him and pushing him back into the industrial door that was directly behind him. As the man bounced off the door he slammed Red Arrow into it causing the young hero to grab the mans arm and break it sending him to his knees kicking him in the face 3 good times before the man went into shock from the pain. As for the next 5 Red Arrow knew he wasn't going to be able to take them on completely so he decided to try something.. He'd grab two silver balls off of his utility belt and slammed them into the floor. This cause smoke to fill the immediate area of 10 meters. Red Arrow smiled as he blinked opening his eyes to the thermal vision function on his mask. An electric hue filled the cloud of smoke as Red Arrow pulled his bo staff off of his leg and extended it. The men obviously figured Red Arrow's location from this but at the same time Sigma set up a connection with the duo. "Hear you loud and clear Sigma, Over" said Red Arrow before he noticed two of the 5 men targeting him which caused him to slide under them taking them out by their legs with his staff and slapping them on the backs with it. For the next three men he'd quickly attack them with his staff in areas which caused high nerve damage to render them useless for this battle. With that done Red Arrow began to get more information from Sigma regarding setting up a link to the security system to which Red Arrow started nodding until he noticed something. It was one of the men he defeated.. They had something on them a bomb... It was at 8 seconds.. Red Arrow began speaking to Sigma as fast as he could. 'NO. DO NOT HACK INTO THAT SYSTEM I REPEAT DO NOT HACK INTO THAT SYSTEM. MY FATHER WAS EXPECTING VISITORS." said Red Arrow as he activated his jet boots flying up as the explosion hit him knocking him through the floor under the one Sigma went through earlier.
