[ Covert ops and wetwork were something The Facility had drilled into her, but Laura had little finesse. She's a sharp blade, but one crudely made, a weapon made to thrust with no skill. Laura knows how to kill, but when it comes to making her own choices... She, still, has her doubts about whether this is something she can do. Her work with Natasha is a challenge, but it's a challenge Laura likes. Natasha had been correct: It's not so bad, being useful.

Laura is leaning against the wall, head tilted, ear pointed towards the floors above, listening. She hears the men Natasha speaks of, listens to their footsteps as they pace back and forth through the rooms, the soft murmur of their conversation. It's banal — they're making small talk about their lives, nothing Laura needs to pay attention to and so she ignores what they're saying in favor of where they are in the room. She glances up when Natasha speaks, doubt suddenly crossing her features, although it doesn't stay there long. This is her mission — this is her test. Natasha will defer to her in this, and it makes Laura nervous but also determined. She knows what will happen to that woman if they fail.

Laura does not want to fail.

It takes her a moment to answer as she listens to the footsteps again. ]
They're pacing the room, patrolling... [ She trails off, thinking, and her gaze grows sharp at Natasha. ] They're expecting something. We need a distraction.

[ Laura considers, weighing the risks, the pros and the cons. A coincidental distraction would be good, but not controlled. There's a chance the kidnappers wouldn't budge — a slim one, but a chance. ]

I think it should be you. [ She says, after a moment. ] It's riskier, but more controlled. I know how you work. You will be fine.

[ Laura says it assuredly; it would take a lot more than mooks to kill the Black Widow. ]

[ There is no response. Natasha will know Laura heard her; she's too busy slipping out the window, using her claws to scale the side of the building up towards the penthouse. There's no timer on her wrist, but she doesn't need that — her internal clock will tell her when her five minutes are up. What use would she be if she couldn't?

She waits, hanging from her claws underneath the balcony on the first floor of the penthouse suite. One of the men is standing there, smoking a cigarette. She counts the mental seconds, and with twenty to spare, the man retreats back into the penthouse, shouting something unimportant to his colleagues about soccer.

She taps on her wire. ]

[ She waits. She doesn't need the wire to know Natasha's in — her hearing is adept enough that she can hear the men breathing inside, sense the uptick of their heartbeats when Natasha knocks on the door.

One of them mentions not ordering room service — there's a brief verbal scuffle as they argue over who's lying about trying to get food, until one of them just goes to answer the door to tell the housemaid to scram, she has the wrong room.

It takes Laura only a few seconds to climb up and over the balcony, landing without a sound on it. She's in luck — they've left the patio door unlocked, likely because of their position on one of the topmost floors. Who was going to sneak in that way? She slips in, detected only too late; the two men on guard in the back of the room are hovered around the doorway to the front, trying to see what's going on.

Laura slides under the bed. ]
