Moment of Awesome - Garrison Kane/Dominion: Trapped in a haunted house, Garrison turns on Natasha Romanoff as the one responsible for the deaths of those he loves...


"You're one of them." Kane snapped the arm of a specter that swung at him. "A lucky friend."

"I left this life behind a long time ago," Natasha called out as she ducked and wove, stabbing bodies and slitting the throats of friends and foes from a long time ago. The rhythm of attack was familiar that she slipped into that state of mind where the goal of the mission was all that was important and the mission this time was to survive and distract the Widows from the rest of the group that had come here with her. She'd been something, someone else, so many long years ago.

Kane reached out and blocked Natasha's strike, twisting her arm back painfully and sending her sprawling with a kick to the stomach. "You would have been there, unsuspected. They never guessed you were there to kill them."

Before Strange or Jean could react, they found themselves yanked off their feet and sent sprawling from the room into the hallway. Before they could react, the doors slammed shut, leaving Natasha and Kane alone and locked in combat.

Natasha had no memories of whatever the hell he was accusing her of. She'd dug and dug to make sure she knew the full extent of her prior life. It was no way to start a new one if she didn't carry the sins of the past with her. She rolled to her foot and darted through the crowd of other Widows attempting to kill her. Why go after her when the rest of the Widows were more than capable of doing his goal for them if he waited? He could've helped her distract them but instead they were playing right into this entity's hands. She swirled through the crowd, using their familiar movements to her advantage and slammed a knife toward his back. It skimmed off. Fuck, she remembered his profile. Nanotech skin.

His arm moved fast enough to blur, smashing into her wrist and numbing her hand as the knife fell to the ground. Kane augmented physical attributes were on full display as he literally picked two Widow's up and smashed them together, knocking them both unconscious.

She danced away, fading back into the crowd of more Widows. She incapacitated them quickly, a stab to the side with her other knife, then a quick twist of the neck, scooping up their discarded sidearms. She paused behind a column to check the clips then darted back out, firing at every target in sight.

Kane wrenched a Widow in front of him, letting her absorb several rounds as he bullrushed Natasha. He smashed her to one side with the dying Widow, dropping the woman as he did so. Before she could catch her balance, he pulled one of the guns away. He tried to bring her down with a pair of sharp jabs but she parried one and slipped the other before catching him midsection with a kick and dancing away. Another wave of Widows fell on them both and their combat was broken as they turned to deal with other threats first..
