In Washington D.C., one of the
Headmistress’ child assassins dons a school uniform, brushes her hair, practices
smiling, and departs the home, leaving the captive owners behind, and boards a
school bus, exciting comments from the students who don’t recognize her, for a
field trip to the White House….
At the President’s residence, they
are given special pins and greeted by a blonde tour guide named Nat. Nat takes
them around the building, getting the details wrong, while Ilija (the Weeping
Lion) employs his psychic powers to identify the killer for Black Widow. A
little girl corrects Nat about the visit of Mikhail Gorbachev and Natasha
whirls on her, trying to get her to admit to being an assassin. Another kid
asks when they will meet the Vice President and Nat realizes she’s the one,
with some mocking comments by Ilija. When she tries to isolate the kid, she is
stabbed in the hand with the special pin. The girl flips into the air, snaps a
Secret Service Agent’s neck with her knees and seizes his gun, opening fire at
Nat and dashing down the hall. At the same time, Ilija informs her that there
are two more assassins among the girls and they have shot Ilija and are
threatening everyone else. Nat takes down the armed kid with a Widow’s Bite as
she runs by. The girl is cornered by Secret Service Agents, revealing she has
been trained from birth to assassinate the Vice-President. Natasha asks to
speak to the child; she introduces herself and asks the girl’s name. She
replies, “My name is Death!” Nat explains that she too was made a living weapon
by Headmistress but the villainess is now dead and Nat can arrange a happy life
for the child. The girl wavers a second…and then SHIELD Agents crash though the
window as Natasha grabs the girl and leaps out of the window. Nat tosses the
girl to a SHIELD Agent, mentioning the other two who all need to be
deprogrammed. and she vanishes over the fence….
Later, as the cleaning up is going
on, Ilija is having his wound looked to and casually mentioning he has a
brother, whom we see guarding a cage full of little girl assassins, as the
three girls are taken away and Natasha goes into hiding. But they have no way
of knowing how many more deadly girls are out there—unless they take a global
view of the situation. And then we see the Unseen….
