After a long shower and a change of clothes Athena walked into the kitchen to join everyone for breakfast, this time made by Wanda. "Have a good work out?" Natasha asked. "Yea mom." Athena replied. "Good, after this you and I will go practice our knife skills since you and I have a mission coming up." Natasha said. "Really? Do I need to pack for Sage and Maverick?" Athena asked. "Yea. I'll go into more detail after breakfast." Natasha replied. Athena nodded and continued eating her food. Once breakfast was over Athena and Natasha headed downstairs to the training area to practice their knife skills. Athena grabbed a couple throwing knives and began throwing them at the target hitting the bullseye every time. "Good technique, I can tell Yelena taught you that trick." Natasha said. "Yea, Aunt Yelena taught me that wrist flicking movement." Athena said.

"So this mission you're gonna need to bring a lot of gear with you." Natasha explained. "Ok, when do we head out?" Athena asked. "Two days. I'll help you pack tomorrow night." Natasha said. "Who's going with us?" Athena asked as she threw her last knife. "Just us." Natasha said. "Ok." Athena replied. "Today we'll have a meeting with Fury to go over the details of the mission." Natasha explained. Athena nodded as they continued throwing knives. After a few hours doing different training Natasha and Athena walked up to the main room where Nick Fury stood waiting for them. "Athena, Natasha. Come let's discuss this mission." Fury stated.

Together the mother and daughter duo followed Fury to the meeting room where they sat down opposite him at the table. "Ok this mission you're going on is gonna be difficult, but I have faith that you two can handle it." Fury said as he slid a file over with 'Confidential' across it. Natasha opened it and began reading the contents of the file. Athena leaned in and read along seeing they'd be headed to Spain to gain intel on a possible old Red Room guard trying to set up a new Red Room. "So we're supposed to gain information on this man?" Athena asked. "Yes. That's the exact idea. You will get into the inner circle as mother daughter guard dog trainers. You will get him to give you information on what he's doing, who he's doing it with, and where everything is happening. Then you will send S.H.E.I.L.D in an encrypted email to Maria Hill." Fury explained. Natasha and Athena nodded in agreement.
