Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Having gotten some well needed rest after arriving, the 'couple' attented the scientific expo of sorts as planned. And just as planned- it was boring. Horribly, terribly eye-jerkingly boring. Under other circumstance, Barton would have been wanting to just go deaf just so he couldn't hear the droll, but he has to play a part. Rubbing elbows with scientists he was briefed on from other countries- most notably, Russia.

It was almost evening as things were winding down when specific people were given a white card with a message on one side. 'Meet outside'.

Barton doesn't have time to coordinate with Natasha as other recipients are already moving outside. He doesn't drop the card, knowing he will probably need it as some kind of identification, pocketing it instead. A brief glance is given to her, a flash of a silly, excited smile- but a hidden message for her as well. Something is going on and he just got swept into it.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
While this is good, it also complicates matters. Natasha is about to be abandoned at a party with a whole lot of highly intellectual people who are about as interesting as a box of rocks. With her being the trophy wife, she's getting a lot of attention despite the fact she's married to a fellow scientist. When she catches the smile, she tosses a wink his direction like there is nothing strange going on. He heads for the door. She heads for the ladies room.

It's easy work to bypass security and open the window. She pulls off her heels, hooking their straps together and then over her wrist. She glances out, being sure the coast is clear before boosting herself onto the windowsill. She quickly climbs to the roof where they stowed their gear, grabbing the bag and slinging it across her back. Changing will have to happen later. She taps the com unit in her ear. that will allow her to monitor him by audio but also will give her his GPS location. He will also be able to hear her should she transmit. Those hearing aids are useful for hiding such tech, even if he's searched. Moving to the edge of the roof, she peeks carefully to check his progress.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
His hearing aids were fashioned to support subtle coms that he uses with her as necessary. This is one of those ops where they go in with vague information and never know what is going to happen- very little are they able to plan; so this is one that he keeps them on at all times.

"You know whats going on?" Clints voice- whispering to someone.

"Something special, I heard. Only a few of us with certain fields were chosen." A German answers.

There is more idle whispering and conspiring from around Clint before the sounds of the group of 8 being loaded into three separate black suburbans. They take off into the night- heading away from the convention center and towards the edge of town along the river where a plant used to be- torn down and leveled but never rebuilt or the land used again since the '40s. It just looks like a cracked- rubbled and old and unusued foundation.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
With the GPS, she'll be able to find him but this is not an ideal situation. She makes her way to the ground, heading into the nearby woods. That is where they had stowed a motorcycle, just in case there was the need for a rapid exit. The sedan they had rented is left behind in the parking lot at the party. It can be picked up later. Or not. It really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. The bike is fast, black, blending in with the shadows. It's designed with tires that will allow for on or off road as necessary.

Her skirt is pulled up to thigh level, allowing her to settle astride and crank the bike with practiced ease. She takes a moment to strap on her gauntlets, all her toys at her disposal. There is a small readout attached to the left, the GPS signal. Then she's off like a shot, following well behind the suburbans but remaining off road. Sometimes the are in sight, others they are not but she maintains her path with the readout. As she nears the facility, she slows the bike and stows it in a small copse of trees near the river. Unfortunately, the foundation doesn't really offer cover so she is forced to remain in the treeline some distance away.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
The suburbans pull onto the foundation and start to disappear. As soon as they pass through whatever invisible field that cloaks whatever is beyond- the chattering in the vehicle Clint is in starts up instantly. Ooohing and awing at the fact they just went through a cloak.

"I didn't know that technology was even viable! It was just in theory!"
"Would you look at that..."
"Nice building... that must be the generator over there.." Clint's voice.
"Where?"
"There- northeast corner. See it?" Clint's voice.
"Oooh! Good eye! Thats amazing."

It bubbles into almost a din of chatter before the sounds of them leaving the vehicles can be heard. There was no sound of a gate or fence, but there are other voices about. If Nat tries to edge into the field- she will have to be careful.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
Her brow furrows as the vehicles simply disappear. The information is listened to closely, including the date on the generator. That will come in handy for later, she's sure. It will be an early location for her to visit, to place a few explosives with remote detonators. A failsafe for getting in or out. She doesn't know where the building is, the size, any other details. So she is forced to make an educated guess.

They probably are heading for the front of the building. With it being cloaked, those who are hiding it won't think there is a need to be subtle and use back doors.

Additionally, with it being invisible to anyone on the outside, security may be a little more lax than it might be otherwise. Not that it helps. She still has a good hundred yards to cover without being seen. She can't assume there is no security at all.

Under cover of darkess in the woods, she changes. The bodysuit is zipped up to her neck. Gloves cover her hands. A ski style mask is pulled over her head. A pair of nightvision goggles are placed over her eyes, turned off for the moment. If they are needed, she'll flick them on. Now she is a black shadow amongst shadows. With the duffle still across her back, she moves through the forest as she continues to listen.

Once she has circled almost halfway around, she lays on the ground. Now begins the slow process of inching, quite literally, across open ground. Her movements are slow, even though with every moment Clint is moving further awway into unknown territory. She keeps her movements small, weight on her fingers and toes. A few inches then waiting, listening, making sure there is no alarm sounded. Then a few more.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
All the while she is crossing, Clint is moving deeper into the lion's den. The sounds of larger doors opening- sound of metal and some fading footsteps from outside. Perhaps 4 or 5 pairs within earshot.

Bad news is... Once the doors close, things start to become distorted. Hard to hear. There are voices but distinction of the conversation is hard to make out. There are other sounds... possibly an elevator? It must be. The dull drone of gears lowering it down makes the sounds even harder to make out, until it is nothing but a faint, light static as his hearing aids are blocked out completely.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
Nothing can be done about it. Natasha hears the noises, tries to guess what is what. All the while, she continues that slow belly crawl across a distance that seems enormous. If she rushes, she'll be seen should there be security personnel. As it is, if there are cameras, they may pick her up. She can only hope that her movements are slow and small enough not to stand out. It takes a very long time to cross. Probably a half hour. She trusts her partner, knowing he can handle himself. It doesn't change that she is mentally cursing the situation and every passing second.

When she reaches the point where the cloak might be gauging by the location it was on the front side of the foundation, she passes through the cloaking device and gets her first look at the facility itself.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Usually they work the other way around. Him on the outside and her infiltrating. Sometimes its the other way around, but not usually, not unless they are together. Either way- them having to go in and do a normal job that would have plenty of scouting work done, but do it... completely blind and by the seat of their pants? Its what makes them such badass Agents and what some might endear 'legends' amongst their colleagues.

That or Natasha is the badass and Clint rides her coattails. There is that one too.

Once she passes through the field (Finally!), everything is revealed. The old silo that was considered demolished... never was. It is still a much older style facility on the outside- a single large entryway in the front seems to be the only obvious entrance. And where Clint pointed out earlier- there is a humming, blue glowing generator that stands a story tall. It takes a lot of power to cloak this place.

Walking around is about 9 guards in an almost criss-cross path across the ground outside, so there is barely a second that there isn't eyes somewhere. Two security cameras can also be noticed on rotating watches on either side of the entrance. The suburbans are parked close to the entrance as well, now shut off and just parked there. On the far side are a few other vehicles- like a couple of jeeps, a couple of cars, etc.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
There is no way to get across to the building without being seen. The cameras are at the door so that isn't her main concern. It's the guards. They are running a tight pattern with no holes in their grid. If she tries to crawl across, she'll be seen within moments. If she gets to her feet, same problem. She breathes slowly through her nose, shifting her head in that stop/go motion she used to cross this far. The vehicles aren't really close either so she can't use them. There are a couple of options she runs through. The generator and the vehicles. She doesn't really want to do anything to the generator until she must. It may be necessary once she's inside, should she need to cut power to doors or any number of other things.
    It's going to have to be the suburbans. She gauges the distance then slides her hand across the ground until she has it aligned. This is the tricky part. She fires a small circular devide from her gauntlet, sending it rolling toward one of the vehicles. Once there, it detonates but it isn't an explosion. A bit of smoke starts to come out of it, making it look like it is coming from the vehicle itself.
    She doesn't expect all the guards to go. That would be impossible. But if one ore two give her a hole in that pattern, she will be able to reach the silo and use her line to gain height.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
The guards are notably Russian- which it really isn't *as* obvious, until one of the vehicles start to smoke. A few of them chatter amongst each other, asking if anyone saw anything, a couple going 'what the F*...?'

Two break away from their grid to go investigate. One gets a faceful of smoke, the other trying to crouch down nad see what is going on.

It is enough commotion for Natasha to make it across.
