A NEW MISSION-BABYSITTING?!

Disclaimer: Not mine. Now, let's comence with the story.

The Avengers had done little together with all there members since the invasion on Earth. Loki had been locked up tight for the time being and the team had scattered. Bruce and Tony enjoyed the lab at Tony's tower, Steve had also taken to popping in frequently, Thor had gone back to Asgard and visited every so often, and Natasha and Clint were busy doing missions for S.H.E.I.L.D. showing up when they had breaks.

A few months after the invasion everyone on the team was called to the helicarrier. Bruce Banner arrived last with Tony Stark in tow.

"Alright Fury, we're all here so tell us this oh so important mission of yours." Tony stated bluntly.

"I've called you here to give you a very important assignment. Bring her in!" Fury yelled the last part out to three men waiting outside. They slowly walked in, surrounding a person so she hidden from the Avengers. "You are to watch her and make sure she does not do anything to injure anyone. Herself or otherwise. " Fury tells the Avengers as the guards leave them with a teenage girl in handcuffs.

"Wait so you want us to play babysitter?" Clint cries as Tony says, "Fury do we look like a babysitting service to you?" Steve respectfully asked if Fury was sure that this was what he wanted them to do while Natasha just stared at him. Thor looked utterly confused and Bruce just had a look of mild interest as he watched the girl stand absolutely still throughout the whole scene.

When everyone had calmed down Fury spoke, "Yes, you are to play babysitter but take heed, she is more dangerous than she looks. We also need to see if you can get her to talk." The Avengers looked at the girl in shock.

"So she hasn't said a word to you?" Tony questioned. "Also, why do you even have a teenager on the helicarrier?"

Fury said nothing while everyone waited for his answer. Finally, after much consideration he replied, "That's classified Stark, now I want all of you to go and watch her. Stay at Stark's tower. She will be your top priority for now on. I will decide when this assignment is over and you will take this seriously. Clear?" Fury said in a tone that left no room for argument.

He got half-hearted mumbles from everyone except Thor who seemed to yell with agreement in his natural loud voice.

"Does she have a name or is it classified?" Bruce asked as the other Avengers got up and exited the room.

Fury waited until Clint walked out letting the door shut behind him to answer, "No we have nothing on her what-so-ever. Not a whisper, nothing."

Bruce stared, shocked, "Nothing?"

"No nothing. now get out." Fury replied frustrated at his lack of knowledge.

Bruce left without a word quietly shutting the door behind him.

Fury gave a sigh and turned toward a computer. Nothing, this girl; it was like she didn't exist until they found her INSIDE the helicarrier. He didn't even know how she had gotten on in the first place. No footage or witnesses, nothing, nada, zip. It scared him more than he liked to admit. That's why he reinitiated the Avengers. His instinct told him to be very careful around this girl. He turned his focus back to the computer as he tried in vain to located even a rumor about the mysterious person.

The Avengers entered the Quinn Jet and got ready for takeoff. The girl, quickly and quietly, got seated in a far corner staring off into space. Bruce entered last and quickly told the others about his conversation with Fury.

"I don't believe him." Tony mumbled already hacking into Fury's system.

"Wow. I never would have thought..." Clint trailed off his thoughts as they took off.

The rest of the flight was awkwardly quiet as the Avengers couldn't think of anything else to converse over.

The Quinn Jet landed silently on the roof of the rebuilt Avengers Tower and everyone climbed out waiting for Tony to tell them where to go.

"Okay let's see. Fourth floor down is the training and equipment room. Thor and Steve share the third floor down. Two floors down is Natasha and Clint. One floor down is me and Bruce's lab/room. This floor is a kitchen and living room. Finally the girl is going to have to share a floor with two of you because I didn't expect another person. Any questions?"

"Do you have enough food?" Natasha asked.

"NO!" Bruce answered immediately. "We need to go to the store. Anyone want to go food shopping?"

"We can all go later, Bruce. I'm going to go relax first." Clint said, "Two floors down, right?"

"Yeah. I think I'll go check out the room with you Clint." Natasha added.

"May I go and tell Ms. Foster of these events?" Thor boomed.

"Yeah we can all meet back here in an hour and a half." Steve suggested.

"Good idea. I'm going to watch T.V. then." Tony said as everyone except Thor entered the building.

A/N: I'm BACK! What's up? Here's this chapter and I'm sorry about the wait and the fact I can't guarantee anything better than this. Oh, well. Summer was full of swim practice and my job so nothing really got done. Now I have a tough AP class so it probably won't go much better. Apologizes and cookies to anyone who put up with me. Constructive criticism welcome while flames will be used for marshmallow roasting. R&R if you feel like it. Later!
