Marvel crosses Star Wars, and everyone attacks the galaxy

Chapter 163 There are two groups of thieves

After fighting the Sith attendants, Wasp and Black Widow return to the guest room Padmé is staying in. They need to leave the planet immediately, as the Neimoidians will find them soon.

But when they arrived, they saw Rush Clovis standing by Padmé's bed, while Padmé was lying on the bed.

"What are you doing?" asked Black Widow, and the sudden voice startled the male senator.

"Pa-Padmé is ill," he said. "She has a terrible fever."

Black Widow walked up to the Naboo Senator and saw that she indeed had a fever. However, this was a little too suspicious. To confirm her suspicions, she used her fingers to open the Senator's eyes and saw that the pupils were dilated and had some slight discoloration.

"Senator Clovis, please find a medical droid." Black Widow ordered. "If the medical droid can't do anything good, then we need to go to a hospital or leave this planet to receive proper treatment.

Rush stammered and nodded, "Yeah, sure. I'll be right back."

As Senator Scipio walked out of the room, Wasp spoke over Black Widow's shoulder.

"It's not just a normal fever, is it?"

"Padmé has been poisoned," said the SHIELD agent.

“Clovis,” Padmé whispered weakly, “I hope…he is not involved with them…we need to return to the Republic and reveal our findings to them.

"First, we have to take care of you," said Black Widow.

"Oh, really?" Padmé might have felt the poison taking effect, but she was still the wisest and most beautiful senator of Naboo. She tried to stand up, noting the redhead's current state. "How did you get hurt, Natasha?"

"That's not important right now, Padmé," Black Widow retorted, though she kept a hand pressed to her wound. "Hope, try to locate the antidote and get it to the ship as quickly as possible."

"understood."

Wasp walked out of the room, walked around the medical droids, and quickly headed towards where Clovis was having a heated discussion with the Neimoidian Senator. Rush then ran away as she saw a sinister smile on Lott Dodd's face.

She narrowed her eyes and flew towards him, following him down the hallway. Eventually arriving at what appeared to be the man's office, Wasp saw him discussing something with one of his retainers.

It wasn't long before she noticed something was off on the man's desk. When she got closer, she saw it was a syringe filled with some kind of liquid.

Waiting for the Neimoidians to leave the office, Wasp returned to her normal size, grabbed the antidote, and shrank back in. She quickly flew out of a nearby window and headed straight for the Naboo ship where Padmé was currently.

"I wish I could go back with you. It's my fault for not taking good care of you, Padmé."

"I don't want to put you through so much trouble." She argued weakly, "You have a mission to do, and I have mine."

Clovis clenched his fists, then released the pressure. "Okay, you're going to be fine.

With the ramp closed, the Wasp returned to normal size and quickly injected the antidote into the Naboo Senator.

"You rest now, Padmé." The Wasp said softly. "You did very well."

“I hope this is all worth it.”

"I will," Black Widow said, and the ship flew towards Coruscant.

And at this time on the planet Neimoidia.

"You mean there were duplicate data files?" Dodd asked a commando robot in confusion. "You said the data files were stolen."

"Indeed, but our scanners indicate that the copy in the foundry was made earlier. The commando droid spoke.

"It's all your fault, Clovis." Dodd glared at Senator Scipio. "Thanks to your pathetic weakness, the Republic now has two copies of the foundry."

"The theft of the copy of the Droid Foundry occurred the day before Senator Clovis arrived," a calm, feminine voice said.

They both turned to see Chezzo moving around the holo-table that once held the plans for their droid factory on Geonosis.

"What do you mean?" Clovis asked.

“Someone else had accessed the plans the day before you arrived, and copied it.” Niva said in a skeptical tone, though not to either of the two. “I accessed the data logs and found this anomaly, though I almost missed it. It was so discreet that I had to check twice to make sure it wasn’t some kind of malfunction.”

"I don't understand, this happened the day before Clovis arrived?" Lott Dodd demanded clarification on what was going on.

"Indeed," Chezzo confirmed. "This person was right under our noses. Whoever he was has now escaped with a copy of the robot factory."

"But who could it be?" Dodd asked a common question shared by everyone in the room. "If not Senator Amidala and her cohorts, who could it be?"

Outside, a group of commando droids moved through the corridors on patrol, past the chambers of the Sith attendants and two Separatists.

Both robots' eyes flickered for a moment before they continued walking, one of them letting out a low, metallic laugh.
