So I've had this idea for a while and I know where I want to go with it. Hopefully you guys will like it because I think this could be good and again I hope you will agree. I've never actually wrote a fic for The Avengers but I have read many and enjoyed them. Also this is going to have a little violence in and also a bit of torture in later chapters but I will let you know before the chapter so you know when.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Avengers at all and never will.

Chapter 1

Fury sat in his office with his head resting in his hands. He was looking down at his desk, almost oblivious to everything going on around him. To a passerby he looked like he was almost asleep, not that anyone would dare question why he was asleep at work. Not unless they wanted Fury's wrath turned onto them and that was something no one wanted. Except for the rare occasions like Tony Stark or Clint Barton who took great pleasure in seeing Fury angry and nearly shattering the glass with his shouts of rage.

Tony Stark and Clint Barton, for once they weren't the reason Fury was mad. For the past week SHIELD had been getting signs of someone trying to hack into their system, so far they hadn't succeeded but the hackers were very persistent and weren't giving up. The first time the sirens went off Fury had gone straight to the Avenger's tower thinking that Stark was again trying to find out things he shouldn't know, but he was surprised to find that Stark was with the rest of the Avenger's and nowhere near any form of computer.

The last time there was any sign of someone attempting to get into SHIELD's files was just over two days ago and Fury had resigned into letting Bruce Banner and Tony keep an eye on things. Tony had backed up SHIELD's systems hoping it would stop anyone trying to get any form of access when they shouldn't and so far it was working. Bruce had started looking for traces and signs to see if they could get a lead on where the person or people where and was to report back to Fury as soon as he found anything. Fury looked at the phone on his desk. He needed to know how Bruce was getting on, if any information SHIELD had got out to the public there would be chaos. He was desperate and he didn't like being desperate. The last person that had made him desperate had ended up being smashed into the ground several times by Bruce's alter ego the Hulk, or as Stark puts it the enormous, green, rage, monster. Loki was now back on Asgard and not a threat to the world right now, he also wasn't Fury's main concern right now either.

Fury snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a faint siren going off. He muttered something incoherent under his breath and walked out of his office. "Someone turn that thing off" Fury ordered, "Agent Hill?"

"Their trying again, so far they haven't got anything but I don't know how many more times their going to try to get into the system. Turn the computers off, they can't get anything that isn't open" she said to the rest of the people in the room.

"Have you got anything new about them, who or where they are?" Fury asked already knowing the answer. If Hill had found out anything else he would be the first to know and wouldn't need to ask the question in the first place.

"Nothing" The Alerts went down and Hill let out a sigh, "Keep the computers going" she said to the room, "because they've stopped again" she said under her breath. This was starting to become a regular routine, one which Fury planned on stopping. Fury looked at her and struggled to hold back a smile. He looked around at the agents as they got back to what they were doing before and Hill got back to ordering the men. It was Fury's turn to say something under his breath as his phone went off.

"Fury"

"Sir it's Bruce, we have a small lead." Fury felt like shouting to the gods, finally they had something to go on.

"Good I'll be in the lab in a minute." Fury hung up the phone and headed back out the way he had come.

-LINE BREAK-

Tony looked up from his work and focussed on Bruce who was sat at a table reading a book. He glanced back at his work, which was a pile of metal that would soon be a new suit, and then decided. "So how long do you think it will take for Barton to ask out Natasha?" he asked casually. Bruce looked up from his book and stared at Tony.

"It's not my place to say" Bruce stated and went back to reading his book.

"Well yes, but how long do you think it will take Legolas to ask her?" Bruce let out a sigh and looked up from his book again. Sometimes Tony could really annoy him. Bruce made no move to answer so Tony carried on, "Do you think it will be days, weeks, months?" he asked. Bruce glared at him. "Years"

"Like I said it's not my place to say, Clint and Natasha's personal lives are none of my business and their not yours either." Bruce put his book down on the table and stretched his arms, he then rubbed his eyes. Tony watched him waiting for an answer. Bruce could feel Tony watching him and Bruce let out a sigh. "But if I was going to guess I would probably say" Bruce stopped talking and listened to the sirens that were now going off around the room. He looked over at Tony and showed a smile. Tony watched as Bruce made his way over to a screen on the other side of the room. Sometimes Tony really did wonder if things were planned against him. Tony got up from his seat and walked over to Bruce who was now typing away on the keyboard.

"Is there anything?" he asked even though he could see what was happening.

"Yes, whoever is trying to get into SHIELD's files is in New York" he answered, "Call Fury and let him know"

"You can call Fury" Tony told Bruce, he felt the need to expand what he had said, "Fury dislikes me." Bruce raised an eyebrow at his friend's words. Sometimes he really didn't understand his friend, Tony is happy to pull pranks and annoy Fury but he doesn't want to make a simple phone call.

"Yeh ok," Bruce pulled out his phone and called Fury.

"Fury" he heard down the phone.

"Sir it's Bruce, we have a small lead" he said.

"Good I'll be in the lab in a minute." Bruce put the phone back in his trousers pocket and looked up at Tony. Tony looked at him suspiciously.

"Why do you look so shocked?" he asked.

"Fury actually seemed relieved" Bruce said as he walked back over to his book. He realised as he started to read again that the sirens had stopped. Tony looked at Bruce,

"How comes when I call Fury he always sounds angry?" Tony said to himself.

"Because you always call him to tell him something bad, like you've broken something" Bruce said from behind his book. Tony pulled a chair over to the window and sat down in silence. Bruce had a point. He looked out the window whilst he waited for Fury to come. A few minutes later they were joined by Fury in the lab and immediately Tony and Bruce looked up. His one eye looked at Stark and then at Banner. He walked over to the middle of the room and looked at the pile of metal Tony had been working on before speaking.

"What did you find?" he asked both Bruce and Tony. It didn't seem like Bruce was going to answer so Tony took the lead.

"He's in New York" Tony said simply. Bruce and Fury looked at Tony.

"He means that whoever is trying to get into SHIELD's mainframe is somewhere in New York" Bruce said, expanding Tony's simple answer for Fury.

"Is that it?"

"I did say small lead" Bruce said walking back over to the screen with Fury and Tony following behind. "You see…" Bruce started to explain to Fury roughly how they traced the signal. Fury watched as Bruce pointed to each thing on the screen as he explained. About a minute later they looked away from the screen.

"Ok can you find the exact location of the person?" Fury asked.

"No, not until the guy tries again." Both men turned to look at Tony and Tony explained further when he saw Fury's questioning look. "When he tried ten minutes or so ago we didn't have long enough to find the exact location before he stopped. If he tried again we would be able to find where he is but until then all we know is that he's in New York." There was silence as Fury thought about what the billionaire had said, he then nodded and headed for the door taking one last glance at the pile of metal which would soon be Tony's new suit. He stopped just before the door and turned back to face the two geniuses.

"Can you tell me when you find the location" Fury said.

"You're giving us a choice" Tony said incredulously. "I never expected that to happen. Ever." Fury turned his gaze onto Stark. If looks could kill Tony Stark would be on the flaw. Fury looked Tony in the eye making the man feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Don't push me Stark" Fury growled and then left the room. Tony let out a laugh to which Bruce just shook his head. Bruce went back over to his book and started reading again. Tony walked over to a table still smiling and holding back laughter. He took a deep breath in and then his smile vanished as if he had never laughed in the first place. He then leant against the table and was silent for a few seconds. The smile appeared on his face again but smaller this time as he thought of something.

"So, how long do you think it will take for Clint to ask Natasha?"

Bruce closed his book and left the room, leaving Tony alone to talk with JARVIS.

Which he did.

What did you think of the first chapter and should I carry this on? Please review I really like hearing your opinions on what I've written so please let me know, it also lets me know that people are interested and are reading it.
