Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with the Alex Rider world or the Avengers world, apart from my OC (my own character not a character from the books or film - I hope this clears things up) and story line.

The ring of a phone interrupted the group from their conversation, and they all paused to look towards Tony, who slowly walked over to his desk. At the same time, the disembodied voice of a British man spoke out, "incoming call from Nick Fury sir, he said that it's urgent. "He always says it's urgent that bastard" Tony muttered under his breath but swiped at computer screen and an image of the director flashed up.

Natasha stood up, " another mission?" Fury cleared his throat and began to speak, "Yes, but before you tell me to shut up, you are the only people we have for this job. It's a protection job, for an agent from over the pond just while our friends from '6 have some business to do, they've been in touch and the agent has just returned from a pretty nasty mission. They are also apparently a terrorist expert, they should have the info on Scorpia that will help us to finish those bastards off."

The avengers looked around at each other, Banner looked up towards Fury's face, "Not that I don't love turning into a giant green monster and saving the world, but I currently fail to see why we are so desperately needed."

The director smiled at this, "I thought we would hit this point. MI6 decided that the agent would not do well in an environment so intense as shield, and you were already going to be asked to deal with Scorpia anyway, so we decided this would be the best course of action."

Tony looked up in thought, "Pffft, the best course of action, because obviously this team of ex-assassins, 80 year old super soldier, Norse God, hulk and obviously a genius is less intense than Shield."

"Well, this is not your decision, the agent will help you in return for protection and that is final."

Anna sat silently in the back of the car. The driver obviously knew nothing of her situation and so had tried to strike up a conversation. She enjoyed it for a bit, not having the pitying looks or else the jealous smirks of those that thought that they were better than her, but just being a girl. The conversation had dribbled out about an hour in and to be honest it was a long journey she wanted to conserve her energy. There had been silence after that, but she was fine with that. Instead she thought about what she had just been roped into by MI6 yet again.

She hadn't been told much, as usual, and so all she officially knew was that she was being sent to America for protection for a while and that her information on Scorpia would be needed to help whoever she was staying with on a mission.

What she didn't officially know though was another matter entirely. She had realized from where they were that they were in fact most likely going to Shield, and that they were using her knowledge to in fact try to completely wipe out Scorpia, or what was left of it since Alex had had anything to do with it.

She paused in her thought process as she felt the car slowing, she looked up and to stared; she was in fact in parked right in front of the Avengers tower.

The driver stopped and leaned backwards in his seat, "we're here now kid, do you need me to get your bags for you", Anna unclipped her seatbelt and opened the, "I'll be fine, but thank you very much for the drive", the driver responded cheerfully and Anna grabbed her bags out of the boot of the car. She walked slowly up to the entrance and pushed open the clear glass doors into the reception.

Hey, just to make things clear, my OC is not a fem. Alex. Alex Rider will appear later on the story though!
