Chapter Two

Phil Coulson gets the call to get to New Mexico when some very odd readings are caught on SHIELD's sensors. When he gets there he learns about the unmovable 'satellite' in a crater in the desert. It takes him less than a minute to make the call for more backup and get a unit sent down after he see's the 'satellite'.

Once set up of the temporary base starts and general reconnaissance of the area turns up the information on Doctor Jane Foster and what exactly she is working on he gets a team and goes after her while demanding complete histories on Foster, Selvig and the student assistant. It isn't until he gets to them and takes a look at them all that the student catches his eye. Something in him is screaming and warning bells are going off demanding he pay attention, though he cant tell why.

She is nervous being surrounded by his agents but he thinks it is more the fact that they are men. She also watches them take her laptop and several of what look like engineering projects from a desk in the corner that doesn't look like it fits in with the rest of the lab, though he has it taken anyways just to be certain.

It isn't until after he gets back to base and has the tech squad demanding to know who built and coded some of the tech that he realizes something besides flaky college student is at work. Dr Fosters equipment is decent but nothing that anyone else even mildly tech savvy couldn't build. But the smaller tech including an I-pod that was taken to test for back up files is where the real genius shines.

The battery alone is modified and the thing could probably run his camp for several days, having it run an I-pod is wasteful and reminds him of something Stark would do. There is also a stack of notebooks with Darcy Lewis written on them with plans and schematics filling them along with equations and code that's so advanced his techs can't decipher it and they can only tell him that it is likely an AI comparable to Stark's and some other things like improvements for security systems for the DOD and CIA. He is impressed and after looking through the file on the girl, because he knows none of it is Foster or Selvigs, he demands a complete background check including her parents.

It isn't until the God has battled it out with the robot and left the earth on the rainbow bridge that his background check comes back. It isn't until he starts looking at her birth certificate and finds a notation that it is false and that there is no record of adoption that things get really interesting. He follows protocol in getting DNA and check-ups done on Foster and Selvig but he gets a bit more from the confusing Miss Lewis.

"I want a full genetic check, see who she really is because she isn't who her parents say. Best guess is kidnapping but she might be a black market child." he demands of the lab.

He spends the next two weeks keeping a close eye on his new scientists and his newest little puzzle. The twenty-one year old is fascinating and something about her tugs at him, though he can not think of why. He draws up full profiles of the based on their files and his observations on them personally and while Selvig is a good find for the Teseract program and Foster is brilliant if detached he can not figure out Miss Lewis.

She is constantly wary of he and his agents and even Selvig though it would take someone truly paying attention to notice. She doesn't like being around men especially men who hit on her. She is genius level smart but she hides it well and neither of the genius's she surrounds herself with have noticed. The hidden surveillance has caught he correcting their math twice and neither even imagined it could have been her. She had switched majors three times and he hears the scientists speaking about it but it is obvious they haven't bothered to check what her previous majors were. If they had they would never had delegated her to coffee girl. She started as an electrical engineer with a minor in mathematics and switched to computer programing design with a minor in chemistry before going to political science with a minor in psychology.

Her medical records read like every abused child's. At least one broken bone a year and one year there were three. Several times she had to have her shoulder reset from it being pulled from socket and when she was fourteen she was assaulted but refused to tell the police who. A week later her "father" was killed in an accident when his cars computer program malfunctioned. There wasn't a single more visit to the doctors besides general check-ups and her grades which had been bottom of the class before picked up until she was top of the class with honors. She graduated at seventeen and left for college on scholarship and not once afterward did she ever return to her hometown and there was no record of her speaking with her mother even once after she left.

Despite her brashness and well hidden fear she doesn't date. There are rumors, as there always are, about her with different men but not a single one turns out to be true. It makes Phil certain the assault was from the man the file claims was her father and even more certain after watching her watch the men around her that she was behind the vehicle computer malfunction. He does not mention it or even make a note of it in her file and goes out of his way to create a trail away from it, just in case. He would never begrudge a girl protecting herself from rape.

It isn't until he gets the file back on her 'mother' that things begin clicking into place. The woman, Carolyn Branty was a maid for Obadiah Stane twenty two years before and two weeks after the loss of Darcy Stark she and her husband show up in her hometown in Maine with a three month old daughter named Darcy and a healthy bank account.

He was the one who completed Stark's debrief after the thing with Stane so he knows the details and he knows Fury had made Darcy Stark a priority afterward so this information is literally just as big if not bigger than the Norse God who fell from the sky. He calls the lab running her DNA and informs them he needs it run against a specific file. Twenty-four hours later he has a confirmation, Darcy Elaine Lewis is Darcy Melody Stark.

"Director, we've found her."

"Are you certain?" the man asks. He has been kept in the loop the whole time but it wasn't until a few days before that he began seeing the same connections as Phil.

"Yes sir. There is no doubt. How do we handle this?"

The line is silent for a moment before the director speaks. "Bring the girl into protective custody and call Stark. I imagine he will come to you as quickly as he is able but if this gets out before he gets to you which is likely the girl could be in danger. Also send a unit for the woman who played the mother. If we don't get to her first Stark will kill her, especially after he gets her medical file."

"Yes sir. Would you like to make the call or shall I?"

"You do it Coulson, we want him to like you remember. If you are going to handle the initiative you need them to listen to you and we didn't have a way to make Stark do so before now. This is the in we need."

"Yes sir. I will handle it. Coulson out."

Once he had hung up he sent for Barton and Romanov, who had arrived a week after the Stark Expo disaster. He would need the woman to help Darcy feel comfortable enough to come in. Barton and he alone would cause her to balk and after the upset in her life she was close to breaking already, he and his agents had noticed her stress increasing over the past few days as more male scientist moved in to help Jane Foster and more guards filled up the remains of the town to rebuild and to protect the scientists.

What she didn't know was that over the last twenty-four hours the guards had switched their attention from Foster and Selvig almost completely to Darcy. While waiting for his agents, his two favorites to arrive he picked up his cell phone and after ensuring Stark was in his office at SI and not out in public he made the call.

"Speak to me Coulson." the mans voice sounded from the phones speaker.

He decided to simply tell the man, holding it back would do him no favors so he spoke clearly but with a tone that he knew would catch the mans attention.

"Mr Stark, we have found her. We found Darcy."

It was quite for a moment before Tony Stark's broken voice came again.

"Are you fucking with me. Because let me warn you if you are fucking with me I will break you. I will bring SHIELD to its fucking knees Agent."

"I assure you Mr Stark, I am not, as you say, fucking with you. We ran a DNA comparison. The results were 100% conclusive, we have found your daughter."

The door opened while he waited for a reply and he waived Clint and Tasha in quietly. When Stark spoke again he was slightly surprised but on reflection he shouldn't have been.

"You are in New Mexico, outside Puente Antiguo?" it was said as a question but sounded more like a certainty.

"I am Mr Stark."

"And do you have my daughter there or is she somewhere else?" his voice growled as Phil heard him moving around and the closing of a door while Stark called to his ever present companion Pepper Potts.

"I am on my way to fetch her now to bring her into the safety of the compound. I will have her with me in under half an hour and can have her on a plane to you within the hour if you would prefer."

"No I will come for her. You just protect her I will be there within two hours and my jet will be right behind me. Does she know?" he demanded an answer.

"Not yet. Mr Stark there are some things you need to know before you see her." he spoke quickly, because this could go very badly if not handled correctly and he felt rather protective of the girl already. How anyone didn't was a shock to him.

"Send me an e-mail I will have Jarvis review it and cover the relevant parts on the flight out to you." the man spoke. "Two hours tops Agent. God help you if she is hurt in anyway." were his last words before the phone clicked off.

It was quiet for only long enough for him to set the phone down and grab for his tablet to send the file through e-mail before Clint spoke.

"So what is happening. Were you right is she Stark?"

He hit send before standing and heading from the room with his agents following as he spoke grabbing keys to one of the SUV's and motioning for another one of the underlings to follow them in another vehicle.

"Yes she is. Darcy Lewis is Darcy Melody Stark." He handed Tasha the keys and climbed in the back while Clint got front side passenger. He needed to be able to make calls and send messages during the twenty minute drive to the old station where Foster called base. He started by sending a junior agent for soft drinks and some good snack food and having another agent turn one of the interrogation rooms into something more comfortable.

He also calls Dr Foster and informers her of his incoming arrival requesting that all three of them are awaiting him. Three minutes before he arrives at the scientists base he gets confirmation of Iron Man's departure and Pepper Potts making her way to the airfield while informing her assistant that both she and Mr Stark will be out of reach for the next few days and unless the world is ending they are not to be bothered. As the car comes to a stop in the parking lot his phone pings letting him know Perez Hilton and FOX news are both now aware that something is up with Tony Stark and have put out feelers to find out what exactly it is.

He walks confidently into the building with Clint and Natasha right behind him and while the SHIELD scientists are working on calculations and printouts and star charts the three original members of the Einstein Rosen Bridge team are in the small kitchen area drinking coffee and snacking on what looked like candied bacon.

He could easily believe it, Darcy goes out of her way to take care of her two scientists even though they don't seem to notice and the past week as her stress has risen she has been reported in the kitchen more and more often. There was a report on his desk this morning of another insomnia fueled cooking fest and candied bacon was on the list. He left Clint and Natasha to quickly check the perimeter while he headed over to Foster, Selvig and Stark.

"Drs Foster, Selvig, Miss Lewis." he nodded slightly in greeting.

"Agent Coulson, welcome. How can we help SHIELD today?" Dr Foster asked, bristling with indignation. She still hadn't forgiven them for taking her equipment even though they had given it back plus a generous funding allowance.

"Actually Dr Foster I am here to speak with Darcy." he smiled softly at the dark haired intern as he sent a signal for Barton and Romanov to clear the room. He could almost see her stealing herself. He had to give her credit her tension was well hidden behind her false smile. Had he been a normal person instead of an Agent he wouldn't see it, but he was an agent and he had been reading people since before she was born.

"How can I help you Agent I-pod thief?" she questioned brightly. He almost smiled at her newest name for him. She refused to call any of them by their true names and he could see her father in her in that. Heaven knew Stark refused to call anyone anything they preferred.

"I am certain you are aware with your background in political sciences that anytime a civilian is a part of something that the government wants kept quiet an extensive background check is done on all involved?"

She began looking very nervous but calmed slightly when he smiled and the lab was emptied except for them.

"Let me guess, I get to sign a very extensive non-disclosure and get sent back off to school?" she snarked.

"This conversation actually has very little to do with your schooling. It has more to do with you as a person. During your background check we became aware of something that required more in depth investigation. Are you aware Darcy, that the people who raised you were not in fact your parents?" he questioned gently.

He watched the worry, obviously over them finding out about her actions leading to the death of the man who abused her, change into confusion and then shock as he spoke. Now she simply looked at him blankly confused again before speaking.

"I am fairly certain you are wrong Agent. I think I would know if I was adopted." she said confused.

"You were not adopted Darcy. You were kidnapped." he watched the faces of the three and watched as Jane pulled Darcy close at the pronouncement, belatedly attempting to protect her from him or his truth he couldn't be certain.

"When we drew blood on you two weeks ago at your SHIELD exam we took the liberty of running yours against the missing children database. Because of the file we gathered on the woman who raised you we were able to run you against a specific child which cut the estimated time by quite a bit. Two hours ago we received the final confirmation as to your identity and we are taking you into protective custody while we await the arrival of your father. I am afraid you will be most inconvenienced over this but you will also gain quite a bit from it."

"If Darcy was kidnapped, then who is she?" Selvig demanded belligerently, resting his hand protectively on the young girls arm.

Phil looked the man over calmly ignoring his tone until he settled before turning back to Darcy who had been sat on a bench in the interim. She looked lost and the part of him that was held by Clint, the part that could still feel broke at the look on her face. He wanted to gather her to him and protect her, but Stark would be here to do that soon. She wasn't his, even though she was young enough to be. He wondered if this was fair to her. Sure she would be gaining her father who had never once stopped looking for her and who loved her more than his own life. She would get access to anything she wanted including the Stark fortune but in return for that she would deal with her life being an open book to the media and massive amounts of speculation to the masses.

Thankfully Shield could prevent the woman who had raised her from ever speaking but that wouldn't stop much because the rest of her hometown couldn't be silenced. But at the same time he had no doubt Stark would tear anyone who hurt her apart.

"Do you wish to go somewhere private Darcy or are you alright with the Dr's knowing now?" he questioned as Natasha came to stand beside him passing him a quick note which he glanced to. The mother figure had been arrested, good at least that was out of the way.

"I am fine with it. I trust Jane and Eric. You said my father was on his way, who is he?"

"Very well. You were born July 13th, 1991 to Melissa Jackson and Tony Stark." he watched all their faces as their eyes went wide and Darcy went pale, opening her mouth to speak.

"But that's not possible. Darcy Stark has been missing for years. There is no way I am Stark's kid. I am just Darcy. Alright maybe I was kidnapped or something. That would explain my parents hating me but I can't be her. Tony Stark loves his daughter, my parents couldn't even stand me."

"I understand this is a bit of a shock but I can assure you that you are indeed Darcy Stark. Our lab ran the test twice to be certain. Not to mention your intelligence and your skill with computers and technology. Tony Stark is on his way and I imagine he is going to remove you from New Mexico for at least a little while to get to know you and also to protect you. The news of you being found after so long isn't going to stay secret long. We are honestly not expecting it to last more than the next couple of hours. It would be best to begin packing now. Natasha will help." he gestured to the red head to his left and back.

Darcy just looked at him for a moment before standing and striding off, her movements quick and short indicating fury and rebellion. She was going to throw a fit in a little while, he just wondered if she would hold off for long enough for Stark and Potts to handle it or if it would be best to sedate her mildly until he could get her on a plane. He waited for Natasha to follow her, not daring to let her alone lest she run before turning to Foster and Selvig who both looked shocked yet determined.

Their faces closing off just as surely as they began to close him out. Darcy was one of theirs and they were not just going to give her up without a fight. He honestly didn't think they deserved the girl but they felt entitled to her and him coming in with the news that she was being taken away, never-mind that it was for her protection, was not going down well with them.

"What did you mean her intelligence. Darcy isn't stupid but she certainly isn't Stark genius smart." Selvig spoke first. At that moment Phil wanted to throttle him. Maybe he would get collected for the tesseract project but Phil would see the man suffered for it.

"Darcy is more than Stark Genius Smart. Her IQ is 196. The only reason she doesn't have a masters in Computer Programing and Electrical engineering is because like her father she is easily bored. Just because she switched majors three times doesn't mean she stopped knowing what she had learned and cultivating that knowledge. She is easily underestimated but if you had ever met Tony Stark you would see the same lack of attention. She understands every bit of what you are doing here and more than once while we have been watching that she has corrected your math."

"Well fine, Darcy is smart and may be a Stark but you can't just take her away."

"I am afraid Dr Foster that my ability to prevent Tony Stark from doing anything he wants to do is non-existent. Besides it will be safer for Darcy. I don't think you understand exactly how big of an issue this is. Darcy Stark is a household name. When she was born and named for the follow three months every fifth girl born was named Darcy or Melody. When she was taken the country mourned with Mr Stark. When Mr Stark became Iron Man a year ago and found out from Obadiah Stane before his death that Darcy still lived she became a priority for almost every agency on earth including several terrorist organizations. Could you imagine what someone could get from Stark if they held his daughter? He gave up weapons production but if someone held a gun to her head can you say that you doubt for a second he would hand them every piece of Iron Man technology he has. The safest place on earth for that girl is in her fathers arms. Wanting to keep her here because you feel you have some sort of claim on her is selfish and liable to lead to her death." he finished strongly, his temper snapping.

Clint had come up behind him while he was speaking to the woman who now looked near tears and he interrupted smoothly in an effort to calm the situation.

"Iron Man is twenty minutes out sir. He is pushing the suit to its limits. The Stark Jet has left Malibu and the estimated arrival is three hours. There has already been a call out to several security firms and private body guards and the sharks can smell blood in the water sir. The first order for furniture or anything for the girl and the secret will be out. Fury wants to speak with the girl and he wants to discuss initiative plans with you. Apparently he has changed his mind about last resort and wants us all together. Apparently protecting the girl is a worth while cause." the mans deep voice sounded.

Know he could only deal with so much stupid coming from such smart people Phil just smiles and steps away from the group after sending Clint to help pack up Darcy. He will call Fury from outside while waiting for Stark. Whatever Fury is talking about concerning the initiative is likely going to either be a fantastic idea or a terrible one and it was time for him to find out. As he walked towards the door he heard the first strains of Darcy loosing her temper.
