On top the roofs of New Gotham, the Black Bat leaped from building to building, using her cat-like agility. This was always more fun than using her grappling hook, and she felt it was more of challenge too. She finally stopped near Silvermane Labs. She sighed a bit, recalling her uncle Walter Hardy's relationship with the crime lord Rupert Thorne Silvermane, and how Hardy's work for Silvermane led to his capture and her first confrontation with S.H.I.E.L.D., which would of course go on and change her life. She also knew that Silvermane had tried on a number of occasions to have the now "retired" Walter Hardy killed for his failure.
But this wasn't about Walter Hardy tonight. This was about the object Hardy was hired to steal- The Athena's Mind, a device that would allow Silvermane to acquire limitless information on the world governments' best kept secrets. Silvermane had finally acquired the Mind, and it was the Black Bat to personally volunteered to get it back. The Black Bat grabbed her comlink and spoke into it:
"Bruce, my sweet, this is your pretty little Bat reporting in. I've located Silvermane's station in New Gotham. Judging from what I've learned about the frequent goings-on and deliveries to this place, I am certain he's hiding the Athena's Mind here. I shouldn't take too long, sweetheart, so please leave the light on for me." There was nothing officially going on between her and S.H.I.E.L.D. head Bruce Wayne, but that didn't stop the sexually-active Black Bat from flirting with him every chance she could get. Black Bat then leaped again and made her way to the labs.

With her martial arts skills, The Black Bat took out two of Silvermane's outside guards and then placed a decoding device on the door. It opened quickly, and she slipped in. She then used her expert memory to remember the blueprint of the place she had acquired back at S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
"Level 16, Lab B. The biggest laboratory in the building," she whispered. "Think I'll start there." She then continued her prowl.

Black Bat wasn't the only one scoping the place out. Hawkeye had been watching it as well. Silvermane was causing problems for him as well. He needed to shut him down. He was atop one of the surrounding roof tops. Looking through his binoculars. He then turned to see the woman in blue standing on the same rooftops.
"Well well what have we here. Sorry girly this one mine."
He said as he was prepping to move only to see her make the first move before he could and watched her take out the guards and get inside deciding to follow after using his zipline to get down to where she had gone in and following her inside only have a guard see him and quickly be taken out by a taser arrow.

The Black Bat heard the noise, but was already at the lab. She decoded the lock and sneaked in, taking out a pair of cameras with throwing stars in her belt. She looked about, and soon found it- The Athena's Mind. The device was already attached to a computer. As it glowed, she hoped Silvermane hadn't activated it yet. She was relieved to see a countdown. However, the relief soon departed as she was surrounded by Silvermane's muscle. The crimelord has obviously expected interference.
"All these men just for little old me?" she said. "How sweet."

A single green arrow fell among the crowd and released a large amount of smoke. Hawkeye had fired it and was waiting for the Black Bat to get out so he could see her real intentions for breaking in here was. He was certain there was something bigger. He then muttered to himself a bit as he stayed hidden.
"Your welcome."

"I take it you're not one of Silvermane's stooges," said Black Bat as she eyed the newcomer. "You're certainly a lot more handsome than they are."

Hawkeye stayed hidden thinking she must of seen him when he fired the arrow. He then cursed under his breath as he came out from where he had been standing.
"Sorry lady I ain't workin for silvermane I'm here to take him in."

"Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I don't think Silvermane is here," said Black Bat. "Old eccentric psychopath needs his sleep apparently. But if you want to be a dear, you could help me de-activate the Athena's Mind here before it becomes fully installed into Silvermane's computer. We wouldn't want our mutual enemy to become the most powerful man in the world, now would we?"

Hawkeye hadn't been told about this "Athena's mind" part of the plan. He had only been told to bring down Silvermane. He then nodded figuring it wouldn't hurt to have some back up.
"Alright fine. I suppose I can give you hand whats the plan then?"

"Well, we have to be careful not to destroy it, so you might want to avoid using those arrows," said Black Bat. "Its container has two locks, which makes me assume they'll be have to be unlocked simultaneously." Black Bat spotted two passed out guards with the keys on their belts. She bent down, grabbed the keys, and tossed one to the newcomer. "Would you mind, Robin Hood?"

Hawkeye caught it and nodded as he kept his bow ready he knew that couldn't be all the guards Silvermane was a lot of things but stupid wasn't one of them. Hawkeye then turned to black bat and spoke.
"Lead the way then."

"Place the key in your lock and turn on my count," said Black Bat.

Hawkeye put his key in the lock. He then looked at her.
"Ready when you are."

"3...2...1... Turn!" said the Black Bat. She then turned, hoping both keys would turn at the exact same time. They did and the container opened. "I need you to keep watch while I deactivate this. If anyone interferes, this whole thing could blow up in our face... perhaps literally."

Hawkeye merely turned to hear foot steps coming their way.
"Hope you can work fast. I'll keep em' back."
He then notched a tesla arrow and aimed it at the sound of the steps.

"Here's go nothing," said Black Bat as she began to type on the keyboard beside where the Athena's Mind was connected. "If I can get this baby on 'lockdown', it should be safe enough to remove from the main computer. We don't want to destroy it though. Washington would not be too happy with that."

Hawkeye saw several armed guards running towards them from the halls and shot them each with tesla arrows. He then pulled a net arrow and spun around firing a net arrow at the group coming up from behind him. Hearing more guards coming their way.
"Persistent little buggers."

"Almost done," said the Black Bat as she rapidly typed. She then smiled when the screen indicated that the uploading process was placed on hold. "Hold them off just a bit longer while I remove the Mind."

Hawkeye nodded and fired another net behind him wrapping up the men coming from that direction followed by few tesla arrows to the men coming infront.
"No really take your time."
He said as he fired off a few more arrows.

The Black Bat gently disconnected the Mind, causing an alarm to blare loudly.
"Should have expected that," she sighed. "We better get moving." Thankfully the Athena's Mind was small... and light.
