Midnight was hitting the city, and the silence grew as Natasha Romanoff arrived late at night outside the S.H.E.I.L.D.'s building. She found Nick Furry waiting for her at the entrance. Without waiting any longer, he started walking through the back of the building, revealing a vast machine. It resembled a spaceship.
Furry closes every sign of entrance and starts, "Glad that you got my message."
Natasha waits for him to continue.
"I will be brief and straight to the main point. A few months ago, we noticed somebody intervening and manipulating time."
"What do you mean by manipulating time?" Natasha interrupted.
Only Furry snatched a laptop from one table on his side, showing different men in green uniforms, jumping from different years, from the 1940s to 1880s, or from 2002 to 1970s, as many others are doing the same.
"As you can see, they are switching from time to time. We gathered so far from all this that they are trying to reinvent history, and our main suspect is Red Skull. Under HYDRA, he will do anything to get back the power he once had, especially if they are trying to go further back to gain followers from other civilians or historical villains we had throughout history."
Natasha felt uncomfortable with the thought, "What do you want me to do?"
Furry continued, "There is something I need you to do. While I was observing, Romanoff knew they would be looking at C781; it is a classified gadget that S.H.I.E.L.D and I were working to decipher during the 70s and 80s. At that time, we never figured out its entire purpose, so we decided to hide somewhere, yet I never was involved in that case. I am afraid that if HYDRA is sending men everywhere trying to gain power and change history, they are about to track things that will be used as weapons for their advantage. We come to the conclusion that the mega superstar, the legend, Michael Jackson, is hiding it somewhere in his house."
"What? Why?"
"We still do not have any idea how or who would give it to him, but we need is to retrieve it and destroy it before any of them tries to get them. The plan is simple, Romanoff, you will travel to 1989. You will become one of Michael Jackson's most trustable and loyal right hand, meaning you will be his bodyguard. Your main goal is to gain any information and watch his moves and interactions. Everything."
"You think he will just give me the gadget just working for him. If you know he has it, why not investigate him," Natasha said.
"That also will be interfering with time. He cannot know that you are from a different timeline," Furry hands her a folder with faked pictures with her face and other documents attached, "Here is your job application, attached with documents like birth certificates, multiple pictures, and anything that will help you out."
"All right, I am done for it."
"Come with me, Natasha Romanoff, or I'll say 'Natalie Rushman.'"
Furry proceeded to walk by the machine. Natasha pulled out a huge handbag and got inside the machine while closing the door. Further, Black Widow is traveling into 1989.
