When she entered her office, she’d expected to find Bobby in her chair, not Natasha. Seeing the other woman there caused Kitty to freeze in the doorway and kink her eyebrow as if to ask what Natasha was doing in here but she got her answer quickly enough without having to verbally ask. “Where’s Bobby?” was the first question to leave Kitty’s lips. Not that she didn’t appreciate Natasha’s help and all that she’d evidently done in Kitty’s absence but she’d left her teammate in charge…He should of been the one to tell her this stuff.
“Mostly,” she repeated the word back and there was slight amusement in it. This school had been broken and rebuilt so many times that Kitty had lost count. The building could be fixed but the trauma the students had experienced would take a lot longer. “I don’t know all that happened but I know enough to say that no-one outside of these walls knows the Danger Room programme runs throughout the whole school. Have you any idea how it happened?”
Kitty wasn’t a spy, she didn’t know intel, her connections were not as vast as Natasha’s were and so any information she could get, she would take.
“And thank you. Thank you for looking after my students in my absence.”
That question didn’t come as a surprise but still, Natasha’s lips thinned as she considered her response. “I’ve seen very little of him since you and the others left. While I am sure he’s been tending to other business as the school is large and there was quite a lack in your absence, I cannot be certain as to where he’s busied himself.” It was honest without condemning, the best she could offer, even if her own thoughts had not been so kind.
Putting aside talk of Bobby or her thoughts on the matter, Natasha handed over her report. “I found the virus after it had already begun its work and everything I learned of it is in that report. While I don’t know how Hydra knew about the Danger Room’s potential, what I can tell you is that this virus was planted from the inside. If I had to guess, the traitor within these walls was also where they obtained that information.”
As a spy herself, Natasha had seen firsthand how hard such new could be. She hated to be the one to deliver it but that was simply how it had to be. “I’ve combed through all public records and many private records on those who were here at the time of the attack and made a list of those possible suspects but, were it my choice, I’d have one of the telepaths go looking. I know it violates privacy and freedom but Hydra is here on school grounds. That seems the quickest way to find them and root them out.”
Shaking her head, she answered, “Don’t thank me. Had I been more vigilant, I could have caught this virus sooner, maybe even stopped it entirely.”
