"He's on the Red Room." She says, getting confused looks all around. "It's a giant airship facility that he can move anywhere he wants. Since he was here only a few hours ago, that means it's nearby. I think it's west of here."

"Then we have to move fast if we want to catch him before he flies away," Peter stood up and waved his hand.

Melina nodded, eager to help. "I can guide you there, but I don't think we'll make it in time-"

Before she could finish, Peter opened several portals, each leading further and further to the west, looking for anything that wasn't a clear sky. The group gathered around him, watching curiously.

"There it is," Melina whispered in shock, pointing at a distant cloud-covered tower-like structure, amazed by Peter's magic. The Red Room was an imposing sight, a sinister testament to Dreykov's malevolence.

Opening a portal inside the floating facility, they stepped through, arriving in a large hangar filled with much smaller aircrafts, which were probably used to ferry people on and off of the facility.

Before setting off to cause havoc, Peter opened a portal and dumped a pile of spray cans and smoke grenades onto the floor. "Remember, use the red dust antidote on the Widows instead of wasting your time. We can save them, so we should at least try. You have spray cans for close targets and grenades if they're farther away or in a large group." Peter reminded the group as they snatched as much antidote as they could carry.

With a strategic plan in mind, they stormed the facility, moving as a synchronized unit. Peter made sure to neutralize all the aircrafts before leaving the Hangar, cutting off any escape routes for Dreykov and his subordinates. The Avengers struck with precision, their training and powers complementing each other seamlessly.

The facility echoed with the sounds of combat and alarms as they encountered Widows under Dreykov's control. Working in harmony, they used the smoke grenades and stray to administer the antidote to the affected Widows, freeing them from the mind control's grip.

As the Avengers pressed deeper into the Red Room, their hearts sank as they stumbled upon a group of young girls, huddled together in a dimly lit chamber. Fear and confusion etched on their innocent faces, these girls were mere children, aged between four and eight, far too young for a place like this.

Thankfully, they didn't seem to be under Dreykovs mind control, and if they were, the red smoke that poured into the room from the hallway would've already taken care of it.

Natasha's heart ached at the sight, memories of her own past flooding back. She stepped forward, her gaze softening as she approached the frightened girls. "It's okay, you don't need to be scared. We're here to help you," she reassured them gently.

The young Widows in the making eyed Natasha warily, uncertain of her intentions. Their training had instilled a deep-rooted distrust for outsiders. One of the older girls, around eight years old, took a hesitant step forward, her small fists clenched.

"I'm not afraid of you!" she declared with a brave attempt at defiance, though her trembling voice betrayed her fear.

Natasha kneeled down to be at eye level with the girls, her tone soothing. "I know it's hard to trust us, but we're not here to hurt you. We want to help you."

Another young girl, around seven years old, piped up, her eyes glistening with tears. "Really? You'll take us away from here?" Tears started to roll down her cheeks. "I... I don't like killing..."

Natasha nodded firmly. "Yes, I promise. You'll be safe with us. We'll bring you to a place where you can be just like regular children, okay?"

Seeing as they couldn't stay here, Peter opened a shimmering portal behind them. "Come on, let's get you out of here," he said gently, gesturing for the girls to step through.

"Aargh!" Dreykov screamed as his wrist snapped.

"Betraying me, imprisoning me, enslaving my wife and daughter..." Alexei spoke, his grip growing stronger with every word. "And now you tried to touch my other daughter..."

With a swift and powerful punch, Alexei broke Dreykovs ribs, sending him crumbling to the floor, gasping for air. "... Wait! *Cough* ...Don't!"

Without even bending over, Alexei continued to unleash a barrage of blows, stomping his former friend into the hangar floor. Each blow was fueled by the years of suffering and torment Dreykov had inflicted upon him and his loved ones.

As the final blows landed, Dreykov was left a bloodied and broken man. Alexei's super strength really did a number on him. His bones were broken, his body was covered in blood, and even his skull was caved in with a small, yet noticeable dent.

Peter watched in silence, knowing that this wasn't his fight to interfere in, nor did her care to do so. After all, Dreykov was a man that kidnaps little girls and does god knows what with them. He might as well be on the same level as a pedophile in Peter's eyes.

Finally, Alexei stood over Dreykov, panting heavily, but a sense of satisfaction in his eyes. "Piece of sh*t," he spat, turning away from the defeated man.

Natasha approached Alexei and silently pulled him into a hug, happy that this was all over. Yelena soon joined in, pulling a very out of place looking Melina along with her. Before anyone knew it, a big family hug was underway.

"Awe..." Ned found it very cute.

MJ nodded. "Yup, they're like one big, happy, murdering family."

"And you ruined the moment, thanks..." Ned sighed as he shook his head.

"It's true though." Peter said as he stood beside them.

With Dreykov defeated and the whole Red Room secured, the Avengers regrouped to form a game plan. All prisoners, including Dreykov have already been detained in the Tower, leaving only them and a large group of confused and free Widows trapped on the ship.

"We did it," Peter declared. "But now we need to figure out what to do with all of these trained assassins. Not to mention the ones that aren't here. We'll have to find a way to call them all back..."

Melina nodded. "I can do that. I know how the technology works. I can show you, if you want?" She offered her assistance.

"Yeah, sure." Peter nodded in return. "Can you and Natasha work on calling them back. If you have to, we can send them to a specific location on the ground and I can portal them up here."

"Yeah, we'll take care of it." Natasha said as she walked off with her mother.

When they were gone, Peter turned to Yelena. "Now for the more challenging part. Can you call all of the Widows to gather here in the hangar? We need to have an important talk."
