I stepped off of the quinjet, onto the helicarrier with Coulson and Steve Rogers a, Natasha came to greet us.
"Agent Romanoff." Coulson greeted. "This is Captain Rogers. And you know Agent Hunt."
Natasha nodded.
"Ma'am." Steve greeted.
"Hi. They need you on the bridge, They're starting the face trace." Natasha told Coulson.
"See you there." Coulson said walking away.
"There's quite the buzz around here, finding you in the ice." Natasha told Steve as we started walking. "Thought Coulson was going to swoon. Did he ask you to sign his Captain America trading cards yet?"
"Trading cards?" Steve asked.
"They're vintage. He's very proud." Natasha told him.
"Dr. Banner!" Steve said when he saw him standing around awkwardly.
"Oh, yeah, hi." Dr. Banner greeted and shook Steve's hand.. "They told me you'd be coming."
"Word is you can find the cube." Steve said to him.
"Is that the only word about me?" Dr. Banner asked.
"Only word I care about." Steve told him sincerely.
"Must be strange for you, all this." Dr. Banner said looking around.
"Well, this is all actually kinda familiar." Steve said.
"Gentlemen." Natasha said stepping up to them, and I followed. "Agent Hunt. You may want to step inside in a minute. It's going to get a little hard to breath."
Sounds were heard and Steve and Dr. Banner stepped forward.
"Is this a submarine?" Steve asked.
"Really?" Dr. Banner asked. "They want me in a submerged pressurized metal container?"
Turbines came out from underneath the water and the Helicarrier started to go up into the air.
"Oh, no. This is much worse." Dr. Banner said.
Workers on the tarmac of the Helicarrier started to tie down the quinjets, securing them, and putting on oxygen masks.
We walked into the main room and the room was filled with sounds of people working. Natasha led us to a large, round table in the main part of the room, and Fury stood at two computers, just after the table.
"All engines operating." Said one of the agents. "S.H.I.E.L.D. emergency protocol 193.6 in effect." She said and turned to Fury. "We're at level, sir."
"Good." Fury said. "Let's vanish." He turned around and looked at all of us. "Gentlemen, Agent Hunt."
Steve walked up to Fury and gave him some money.
"Doctor, thank you for coming." Fury said walking up to Dr. Banner and shaking his hand.
"Thanks for asking nicely." Dr. Banner said. "So, um, how long am I staying?"
"One we get our hands on the Tesseract, you're in the wind." Fury said.
"Where are you with that?" Dr. Banner asked.
Fury pointed to Coulson.
"We're sweeping every wireless accessible camera on the planet. Cell phones, laptops, if it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us." Coulson said.
"It's still not going to find them in time." Natasha said looking up from a computer with Clint's face on it.
"You have to narrow your field." Dr. Banner said. "How many spectrometers do you have access to?"
"How many are there?" Fury asked crossing his arms.
"Call every lab you know, tell them to put the spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for gamma rays." Dr. Banner said and took of his jacket. "I'll rough out a tracking algorithm, basic cluster recognition. At least we can rule out a few places." Fury nodded. "You have somewhere for me to work?"
Fury nodded. "Agent Romanoff." He said and she walked up the steps. "Show Dr. Banner to his laboratory please?"
"You're going to love it Doc, we got all the toys." Natasha said and led Dr. Banner to his lab.
"Agent Hunt, congratulations on stopping a nuclear war." Fury said.
"Thank you sir. Is there anything I can do?" I asked.
"Not at this moment, no." Fury said. "Are you going to be coming back to work for S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"I don't know, Sir." I told him honestly. "I've considered it many times, but I'm not sure."
"If you do, you will be staying on with the Avengers Initiative, if it works." Fury said.
I nodded and walked over to where Steve and Coulson were standing, Coulson talking about his trading cards again.
"I mean if it's not too much trouble." Coulson said.
"No, no, it's fine." Steve said.
"It's a vintage set. Took me a couple of year to collect 'em all. Near mint." Coulson said. "It's like boxing around the edges but…"
Coulson was interrupted by beeping machines.
"We got a hit." A computer technician said. "Sixty seven percent match. Wait, cross match, seventy nine percent."
"Location?" Coulson said walking up to the technicians screen.
"Stuttgart, Germany." The technician said. "28, Canning Strasse. He's not exactly hiding.
"Captain." Fury said and Steve turned around. "You're up. Agent Hunt, go with him."
Steve and I went to go get changed into our uniforms and when we met up together at the quinjet, Natasha was waiting for us in her uniform.
"Let's go." She said and she got into the pilot seat and I got into the co-pilot seat.
***AUTHOR'S NOTE***
In celebration of the Avengers finally coming out on DVD and BluRay, I finally post the first chapter of the sequel. And you say, finally the sequel is up! For any of you who don't know… this is a sequel to my story; Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (Not a very creative title, I know). To any of you who haven't read it, you may want to read it before you read any more of this. I am very sorry it has been so long, I have been distracted with school. I cannot promise you when the next chapter will be up because I have not wrote anything since the summer time, except a few tweaks on this day (September 25, 2012!) [Great Day]. Thank you to all of you who have been reviewing on the prequel to this story, I hope you will keep reviewing on this story!
