Evans' house
Aria sat quietly in the kitchen on the morning of her legal day off, leafing through the newspaper. Arthur, meanwhile, was dozing in his room on the first floor. Suddenly, Aria's mobile phone rang, which was lying on the table next to the newspaper. She picked up the phone and put it to her ear.
«Yes?" the brown-haired girl asked. - One-eyed, go fuck yourself, I quit - she hung up and returned the phone to the desk.
A couple of minutes later, the phone rang again.
«Yes? Miss Evans picked up again. - 'One-eyed, I don't care if it's a government order...' she exhaled. - she exhaled. - And I don't care that it's your request," the brown-haired girl rolled her eyes. - Why don't you tell me what I don't care about?!
Evans hung up and took the battery out of the phone. After a couple of seconds, the mobile rang again and Aria looked at the battery. Then she looked and saw that it was the house phone ringing.
«Ugh, scared the shit out of me - the brown haired girl walked over and picked up the phone. - Yes? One-eyed, your grandmother! Stop calling me, or I'll come and smash a frying pan over your head!
After hearing the answer, Aria's eyes widened.
«How much? - she asked, her pupils turning into dollar signs. - Whatever, One-Eyed, I'll help you, but you have to babysit my son, or I'll smash your head in with a frying pan, got it? - the brown-haired girl listened to the answer. - Good for you - Miss Evans hung up the phone after that.
After that, Aria headed to the basement and walked to the wall. She typed right on the wall a combination and square lights appeared on the wall when touched. After that the wall moved back a bit and went underground. Behind the wall was a room with a whole arsenal of weapons and suits. There were three suits - a shield agent; a white one with black spiders on his chest, shoulders, and hips; and a red one with steel inserts on his arms, legs, and belt. The belt buckle of the latter bore Tony Stark's autograph. She quickly and elegantly changed into the second suit, then put on her regular clothes over it. Then she took her bag and loaded a couple of pistols, assault rifles and grenades into it. After that, she put a couple of knives under her jacket and went upstairs.

Arthur woke up hearing a small noise on the ground floor. He got up, taking his pillow with him and headed to the ground floor. When the chestnut was on the stairs, Aria came up from the basement with a bag.
«Mum, are you going somewhere...? - The chestnut-haired man asked.
«Huh? Arthur? Well... I have a little. I've been called away on a business trip - she smiled.
«I see... Who am I with? - Evans asked.
«Well... A secret - his mum smiled. - Will you sit alone for an hour?
«'Yeah, sort of,' he replied.
«You're my sunshine - Miss Evans pecked him on the cheek.
Arthur headed into the hall.
«'Bye, I'm off,' Aria smiled, slamming the door shut.
«Bye - said her son, waving.
After that, he headed to the garage.
Aircraft Carrier S.H.I.E.L.T.A. Fury's office.
Nick sat perusing the newspaper adverts for babysitters with the phone to his ear.
«I mean, busy?! As in three days minimum!!! - he asked. - They promised to break my head if I didn't find a nanny! - came the reply. - What do you mean my problem?!
They hung up right after that.
«Fucking hell! - One-Eyed threw the phone at the door.
At that moment the door opened and the phone flew next to Natasha's head. The redhead was wearing her S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform and turned pale as she looked at the phone.
«What do you want me to do with this? - she asked.
«Like getting my head smashed in with a frying pan..... - replied Fury, sitting down on a chair.
«Oh how...? And the reason? - Natasha asked.
«If I don't find a babysitter for Aria's son, she'll cock me.... - he said. - And she will kill me cruelly and painfully....
«Oh, Arthur? Good kid - smiled Romanoff.
At this point the one-eyed man looked at the Black Widow.
«Wha...? - She asked, whereupon her mind clicked. - No! Don't even think about it!
«Natasha Romanoff, you have a responsible mission on which my life depends - said Nick.
«Am I your babysitter or what?! - asked the redhead.
«You're an agent! And I am the boss, and the orders of the bosses are not discussed! - he shouted.
«What?! No!
«That's it! This conversation is over! - Nick replied. - You can go now.
Romanoff only threw the folder with documents at him and headed for the exit.
«Well... Her offence I will survive - the director of S.H.I.T. removed the folder from his head. - And the frying pan punch from Aria, I'm not sure.
At this point, Aria walked into the office, wearing a white suit and carrying a bag.
«Oh you hedgehog! - shouted Fury, slumping back in his chair.
«What are you doing?" she asked, then pulled a frying pan out of her bag.
At this point, the one-eyed man went pale. The brown-haired woman just wiped the pan and put it back.
«Are you stupid or something? - Evans asked.
«Ahem. Since you're here, I'll bring you up to speed.
«Go ahead, she put the pan back.
«The details of Sigma's renewed plan have come to light.... - he replied.
«What? I personally ended everything...'' - said Aria.- Unfortunately, you've done away with most of them, but some remain, said Fury. - And they have reassembled.
She clenched her palm into a fist and pounded on the doors. It left a not-so-small dent.
«Tell me where and how... - Evans said. - By the way, did you find a babysitter?
And then the one-eyed man turned pale.
«I couldn't have done better... - he replied.
«Good - the brown-haired girl craned her neck.
After that, Aria headed for the exit.
«My mother is a woman... Even the devil won't go against her.... - exhaled Nick. - Wait... I sent Natasha to her son... What if he's like his mother? - and then something came out of Fury's mouth.
Evans' house.
Arthur was at home soldering iron. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and he got distracted and soldered more than he needed to.
«Aaah! - the brown-haired man poured water on the hot metal.
Then he quickly cleaned it up and exhaled.
«Did Mum forget something? - he headed for the door. - Who's there?! - Evans asked, approaching.
«It's me, Aunt Nata," Natasha answered from behind the door.
The brown-haired man quickly ran off and came back with a chair he had placed. The boy climbed in and looked through the peephole. Natasha was really there, wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans with a belt and shoes. She was looking through the peephole with her hands behind her back. Arthur quickly got off and dragged the chair back to where he'd brought it from. Then he finally opened the door.
«А... Ah mum's not here... - said the chestnut.
«I know, she asked to sit with you - smiled the redhead.
And then Evans' head went steamy and his eyes turned into spirals. Natasha looked at him questioningly. Romanoff walked in, slamming the door shut.

Aria sat in the plane she was piloting. Fury sat and waited. Also on board was a young woman with dark hair cut into a karee, normal skin colour and brown eyes. She was dressed in an S.H.I.E.L.D. suit with metal gloves, iron-soled boots, and had headphones around her neck. The dark-haired one sat cleaning a laser rifle.
«Aria, do you see the enemy base? - she asked.
«You're welcome, Agent Johnson," the brown-haired woman replied.
«Then you can call me Daisy, too," the dark-haired girl said.
«Are we friends? - Fury asked. - Well done, that's how you see the target,
«Well, if the target is an armoured dome with cannons pointing at us, then yes," said Aria calmly.
And then the plane staggered. Nick ran up and saw the dome with a ten tonne iron door. Cannons appeared from the dome and aimed at their plane. Aria calmly shot all the cannons then put the plane on autopilot. She hung a bazooka, an assault rifle on her back, pistols and a knife on her belt, then strapped pistol pouches to her legs. The brown-haired woman then turned to the director and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
«What are we standing around for? Who are we waiting for? - Evans asked.
«Is she fearless or crazy? - Daisy asked Fury quietly.
«'I think hybrid,' he answered just as quietly.
Right after that, Aria jumped out of the plane. Nick and Johnson looked down to where she had fallen. The brown-haired woman was falling feet-first. A vibration began to emanate from her feet, which cancelled out all the damage from the fall. Immediately after, she shot up the cannons and drones that flew out of the roof. One of the drones at this time flew out from behind and prepared to fire. Fury landed on it and shot it, then jumped onto the roof. One-Eyed began firing his pistols. At this time, Daisy jumped down as well. She started shooting as well. While Aria and Nick were covering her, she touched the roof. It started to shake and partially collapsed. Johnson jumped into it, followed by Evans and Fury.

Arthur sat drawing to himself, sitting on the living room floor. Meanwhile in the kitchen Natasha was trying to cook something, but everything was burning or basically going off. So once again she put the pan in the sink and grabbed her ear with her fingers.
«It's hot... - she sat down on a chair with her hand on her head.
The redhead looked out and saw Artur, who continued to draw. Romanoff took out her phone and dialled a number and put the receiver to her ear.
«Hello, Aria? - she looked out once more. - Listen, do you mind if I order food, because I can't cook anything good.
***
At this very time, Aria was firing her pistols at the soldiers wearing suits that completely concealed them. The suits were white and each had a Sigma symbol on their shoulder.
«Natasha, look, I'm a little busy - said the brown-haired woman, shooting at these soldiers and listening for a response. - Okay, order a pizza, I don't know.
In an instant she pulled a bazooka from her back and fired. The missile blew the door open.
***
Natasha hung up the phone and then started dialling another number.
«Hello? Yes, can I order food? What kind of food and address, I'll text it to you," she said, then hung up.
***
Sitting in the vent, Aria noted with a sigh that the security system was very different from the ones Sigma had before. She recognised the Sigma soldiers and easily dealt with them, but the drones and turrets surprised her. As well as the presence of laser weapons on the drones. Suspiciously similar to early Stark prototypes.
«Shit! - Aria reloaded the machine gun and moved further down the vent, occasionally stopping when the engines of dozens of drones rumbled from below. At one point she reached the room where the conversation was taking place.
«She's gone! After your drones attacked, she simply threw a smoke grenade and fled! Lord Alexander, what do we do? - Said an apparent soldier. And his voice trembled slightly.
«Keep looking. And detain her until we transfer the object to the transport ship. - A calm male voice answered him, slightly muffled by something.
«N-no, my lord! We've only just finished the operation! Moving it could...
«If we don't move her, she'll fall into the hands of the Shield! And then you know what will happen to you, okay?!
Aria pressed down on her collar and her dark glasses appeared. After that, she pulled out a light grenade and threw it there. The brown-haired girl jumped in there and pulled out her pistols. Evans fired in the direction of where the human heat was. One dodged and the other fell to the ground. The bullets hit behind them. When the light settled, she saw that she had hit some kind of giant computer.
«Well, well, well, well. Agent Aria Evans. Formerly one of the shield's top agents. Now a mother raising her only son. - Said a muffled voice.
Aria turned to shoot, but the muzzle of the gun was in her face. And she saw the man who had spoken. He was a man in his early twenties, wearing a dark green cloak and rich clothes in the same colours. His face was hidden by a mask with a suspiciously familiar crest.
«I admit you recognise me, but don't think you'll get out of here alive! - Said Aria, gripping her weapon tighter.
«You too will perish almost immediately after my death. - He replied, shaking his head slightly to the side.
Cautiously moving her gaze to the side, Aria noticed that she was surrounded by armed drones that were ready to riddle her body at any moment.
«Well... You know when my chances of survival are 100%? - she asked.
«Hmph. I think I'll leave you alone with the drones. Is the subject submerged?
«Yes, my lord. - A voice came from one drone.
«Good. Goodbye, Arya. Activate teleportation protocol.
After the last word, there was a bright flash and the man disappeared. Aria made a dash and hid behind the giant monitor, partially dodging the Drones' shots. Some of it got her and now she had a couple of burns on her body. Aria pulled out a knife and then tossed it to the side. The drones started firing at the knife. The brown-haired woman then started firing pistols at the drones. Some of the drones exploded like a chain. She then ran past the drones and pressed the buttons on them before hurling them towards the rest of the drones. The guns exploded and the drones with them.
«Ugh... - Aria crouched down against the wall. - Fail... - she lowered her head.
«Aria! Run! - she heard from her left.
Fury and Daisy were running towards her. Drones were flying after them, firing.
«Holy shit! - Aria ran as well.
The trio of agents ran just towards the exit. The brown-haired woman took out an orb with a button, then pressed it and hurled it. The bomb exploded along with the drones. The wave threw them right back at the exit. After that, they jumped back to the sides. The blast wave flew right out of the door.

Arthur sat on the floor and slept by the couch. Natasha walked into the hall and looked at the pieces of paper. She picked up a piece of paper and covered her mouth with her hand. It had her portrait on it. Then Romanoff looked at the other drawings. There was a portrait of Aria and other beautiful drawings. The redhead smiled and then sat down next to him and put her arm around him. Natasha fell asleep as well.
Aircraft Carrier S.S.I.T.A. Med Station
Aria was sitting in the infirmary getting her wounds treated. Next to her sat Fury who was having his head bandaged. Daisy's arm was being bandaged.
«How am I supposed to explain burns to my son? - The brown-haired woman asked, putting on a band-aid.
«I think you've forgotten where you were going. - said the one-eyed man, putting a band-aid under her eye.
«Eh... Why the fuck did I agree to this? - she asked, putting her hand on her head.
«For a tidy sum you agreed to, he replied. - Five zeros.
«Yeah.
- What was the number at the beginning? - Daisy asked.
And then they held up three fingers. And that's when Johnson nearly fell off her chair.
«That's a load of bollocks. - she said.
«Half of my salary for a year as a programmer and web designer - said Aria.
«Wh-what? - Daisy asked.
«Everyone likes to play games, but not to make them, she sighed.
«What kind of games are you doing there...? - Fury asked.
«Well... - The brown-haired girl shrugged her shoulders. - It's a must play.
«... - The two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents looked at each other.
***
Aria walked into the house with the lights on. She was dressed in her agent costume with casual clothes on top.
«Why are the lights on? - The brown-haired girl asked, then walked into the living room and saw Arthur and Natasha asleep.
Evans grinned, then took a blanket and covered them. Then she herself crouched down next to them, falling asleep. Arthur opened an eye, and then continued to sleep, smiling lightly.
