A/N: Hey guys, this is the first chapter to my third story, Avengers, a New Avenger for the New Avengers (Working title). This is going to be different then my other two stories in the fact that I'm inserting a character into the movie. Some of the dialogue will be off, so I apologize now. Here is the first chapter, enjoy:

I blamed myself for what had happened. We, Clint and I, had talked earlier about the tessaract, but I never thought about sharing that information with Coulson. Now, Clint was "compromised" as Coulson had put it. Natasha was going to be furious when Couslon told her.

After the compound collapsed, and Clint had left with Loki, I headed to the range, grabbing both my bow and guns. This was one of the ways that Clint taught me to control my anger, but it only worked so well. I just hoped that this time it would work.

After spending an hour at the range with my anger still high, Director Fury contacted me.

"Agent Barton, your assistance is required."

"what do you want, Fury?" Te only reason I could even get away with how I was talking to him was because he had known me since I was a child. He oversaw my training until he found Clint.

"we need you to talk to the Captain."

I fired my bow at another target, hitting where the eye would be. "Why can't you do that?"

"It would be better coming from you, Barton."

"No, Fury. I refuse to be your lap dog. Go talk to him yourself. " I heard the door open behind Based in the stride, it was Fury.

"Are you refusing an order, Agent?"

"I didn't hear any orders given, Director." I let loose another arrow, then rapidly pulled out one of the pistols and shot right next to the arrow. If he was going to pull rank with me, I might as well be sarcastic about it.

I turned around to face him, arms crossed. Fury took one look at my expression, scoffed and left. I went back to firing at targets.

After another hour of firing at now disintegrated targets. I went back to my room aboard the Helicarrier. Unlike Clint, I liked having more then my bow and clothes. Granted, I had very little, but I did have stuff that I could call my own. Most of it was books, but I had discovered long ago that books helped me stay calm. When Maria found out, she began to get me books whenever she could.

Maria found me here almost two hours later. "Hey, Melody. Fury is on board, just thought I'd let you know."

"Thanks." I went back to reading. I really didn't want to deal with Fury at the moment. I guess I blamed him for what happened to Clint.

THe next thing I knew, it was morning. I quickly dressed into comfortable clothes, then headed to the bridge. I tried to go as slowly as possible, simply because I don't like boats and we were currently in the water.

On my way to the bridge, I ran into Maria.

"agent Barton. Your presence is requested on deck."

"Okay, Agent Hill." Protocol demanded that if another Agent or Director Fury addressed me as agent, I address them that way as well. I'm typically not one for protocol, but with Maria, I make an exception.

I quickly made my way to the deck, knowing that I could use the fresh air. When I got there, I saw Natasha with Dr. Banner and the Captain. Dr. Banner and the Captain were talking, so I walked over to Natasha.

"Hey, Melody," she said before I could get near her.

"hey, Nat. I see Fury got you to talk to the Captain."

"Nope," she replied as she pulled me into an unexpected hug. "I talked to Banner. Fury talked to Rogers."

"Then who talked to Stark?"

"Coulson," we said at the same time. We looked over at the two men, and saw them still talking.

"Gentlemen, you might was to come inside. It's about to get hard to breathe."

"What? Is this a submarine?" The captain asked.

"Oh, that's smart. They want to put me into a submerged tube," Banner said sarcastically.

Nat just smiled at them. Then, the engines started to rise out of the water.

"Oh, no. This is much worse."

Nat just continued to smile at them/ "This way, please.

I was waiting for them in the corridor. I saw Nat leading them tio me to "escort" them to the bridge where Fury was waiting.

Banner started a discussion with Nat over something when they neared me.

"Pardon me, Doctor. I'd like you gentlemen to meet Agent Melody Barton."

"Barton?" The Captain asked. "Are you related to Barton?"

"Yes. He is my brother."

"I'm sorry, Ma'am."

"We'll get him back. I know we will."

The Captain reached out to touch me in what I'm sure was supposed to be a reassuring manner, but before he could, we arrived at the Bridge.

Fury greeted Doctor Banner and the Captain and explained why they were brought here. He asked the Doctor if he could locate the tessaract and the good doctor agreed to help. But before Nat could show him to the lab, another agent located Loki.

"Where is he?" I demanded.

"In Germany."

Nat took off towards the jets, Captain America close behind her.

"Agent Barton," Fury began.

"Listen, Fury, I don't care, I'm going to get Loki and make him release Clint if it's the last thing I do.
