Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher Page #2

terrorism, drugs, you name it.

They don't claim responsibility

for their crimes,

and the objective of the

organization is unknown.

That makes them both

terrifying and dangerous.

And with the technology S.H.I.E.L.D. has

provided them, they've now become lethal.

The most lethal crime organization

anywhere in the world.

We didn't provide it to them.

They stole it from us.

That doesn't make a difference

to the dead civilians.

The site down there used to be a center

for biological weapons research.

They had an accident 20

years ago and shut down.

Their existence was completely

erased from all records.

Hmm.

We'll make our move

when it gets dark.

The more time we waste, the more

victims there are going to be.

Huh?

What the hell?

Are they all dead?

No, they're alive.

At least, I think.

You need to forget

about Cain for now.

We have our orders. We need to get the

info and then get the hell out of here.

Not me.

Castle! What do you think

you're doing here?

Don't forget,

you agreed to cooperate.

- I showed you Cain's location.

- Castle!

My cooperation ends here and now.

I'm not gonna let

you go rogue on us.

Damn it!

I'm not letting that lowlife

thug get away with this.

He's the one who provided the

guns that tore up my streets.

And because of that,

there's a whole lot of innocent

people who didn't make it out alive.

I can't let you blow this.

This is ridiculous.

We shouldn't be fighting.

Then just back off and

let me do things my way.

You should know by now,

I don't play by your rules.

You and Fury need to

clean up your own mess.

Yeah, right, Frank.

Damn it!

Punisher!

All right then. Now that you've slept,

you should be able to think straight.

Who were the humans in those pods?

- Why the hell are you here?

- I'm asking the questions.

Orion will never allow

you to leave here alive!

You'll die a horrible death.

Now that's a shame. Too bad you

won't be around to see it.

Unless, of course,

you answer my questions.

Okay, okay!

Just put that thing down!

Tasha.

Elihas!

Is it you?

But how?

You were...

Elihas Starr

should be dead!

I'm sorry, Tasha. I didn't want this

to be the way... The way to tell you.

Bastard!

Natasha...

It is you.

You are, or were, a S.H.I.E.L.D.

agent, Elihas.

But now you're

working for Leviathan?

And worse than that,

you're providing them with weapons?

You traitor!

Tasha. Listen.

I was given an opportunity to

step up and be better than I was.

To be more than

a S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist.

I had the chance to have

real power, to be a warrior!

And why would that

matter in the end?

I'd be someone who's finally

worthy of your love.

Why wouldn't you

think you're worthy?

You're one of the greatest

spies in the world.

And you're a superhero

on top of it!

In the end, a normal man

couldn't keep up with you.

You're an Avenger. You were always

running off to save the world.

You didn't know, but all that

time I was at S.H.I.E.L.D.,

I was never really sure

where I stood with you.

Because you didn't have power,

you doubted my feelings for you?

It wasn't so much that

I doubted your feelings.

But when you think about it,

honestly examine it,

you always chose missions

and the Avengers over me.

I just wasn't good enough.

Elihas, you're wrong.

Tasha... Let's work

together again, you and I.

You would be perfect!

Let me talk to Orion!

Is he the one who's in charge here?

He heads up this cell,

but more than that,

he's very highly placed

in the organization.

You think you can convince

him to take me on?

I'm sure of it. They trust me.

Natasha...

I want you to stay

and witness the new me.

Before I give you an answer,

tell me about the pods,

the people in them.

They're the best spies we

could find, recruited by Orion.

Recruited?

Don't you really mean "abducted"?

Some, maybe, but it's in the

service of a greater good.

They're the vanguard of a new

world! When they wake up,

they'll be transformed

into living weapons.

They won't fear death.

These men, they will have super powers

of their own, able to conquer any enemy.

Super-powered soldiers at

your command. Is that right?

What have you done, Elihas?

I'm the one who

made all this possible.

The serum for strengthening the body,

the reconditioning technology...

I developed the whole thing!

All this for Leviathan?

You can see how effective

it is by looking at me.

To make sure it worked,

I tested it on myself.

Where are these

soldiers to be deployed?

Everywhere. Anywhere in the world,

anytime they may be needed!

So you're going to

go out and sell them?

We'll sell to the highest bidder.

If two countries are at war, we'll

sell to both sides of the conflict!

That just means there'll be more

death wherever Leviathan goes.

Business is business. If we don't

supply the weapons, someone else will.

I just want them to continue

funding my research.

Elihas...

I'm not the boring lab-drone

I was when I was at S.H.I.E.L.D.

I made use of advanced technology!

I transcended

artificial boundaries.

I turned myself

into something better,

someone who is finally

worthy to stand by you.

Will you stay with me?

I didn't want to do this.

However, you leave me no choice

but to take you down!

In reality, S.H.I.E.L.D.

is nothing more

than an organization that uses

fear to keep people down.

We give people a

chance to fight back!

Is that what your boss says

to justify all of this?

Now is the time to see... that

you've made a big mistake!

Sorry, but you're the one

who needs to see, Natasha!

Did you find what you

were looking for?

I was interrupted.

- And, what about you?

- Hmm.

It's no use.

It's Cain's cell phone.

There has to be something there.

The equipment we're using

isn't powerful enough.

I need this tomorrow. Huh?

What's he doing here?

You're pretty popular.

Marine Corps, huh?

Amadeus!

I wasn't aware S.H.I.E.L.D.

allowed pets.

Geniuses tend to get

special treatment.

Wake up. I need you.

Oh, hello there, Agent Romanoff.

It's been a while. But you're

still as pretty as ever.

Yeah, save the flattery.

Why are you here today?

You want to continue our chess match?

Sure, if you want.

So, knight to F-6.

I'll go queen F-7!

And that's a checkmate!

Well, I guess you win again.

I can't seem to beat you

when it comes to games.

No kidding! I'll give

you some tips, though,

so you can compete

better next time.

I can teach you how to transmit my genius

brain impulses to your nerve cells!

It's my current research. It works

by intercepting the chemical

synapse in the brain before

fusing with the receptor...

A word of advice. Keep talking like that,

and girls will avoid you like the plague!

I'm still not experienced

enough in that department.

I've got an idea! How

about a date to teach me!

I'll think about it. But really,

we should save the world first.

Darn it!

Agent Romanoff.

Could that man standing right
