Hey there faithful followers! I decided to post another chapter since I will be away for a while and will not be able to add any chapters while I'm gone. Hope ya'll enjoy and review! (hands out free cookies!)

Chapter One~

After my surprised meeting with Director Fury, I had only four hours to pack a bag, tell whoever I needed that I was leaving and to make arrangements with my apartment. I took two of those hours to call everyone; those people only being my landlord and boss at the club I work. One hour went to packing and the other hour reading over the file that Director Fury gave me. Inside had the works of the new 'Avengers Initiative' with the names and short description of everyone. Tony aka Iron Man Stark I knew, along with Black Widow aka Natasha Romanov, Hawkeye aka Clint Barton and Steve Rogers aka Captain America. The two names I didn't know where Doctor Bruce Banner and Thor, though the last one made me for some reason think back to a mythology lesson in college. Shaking my head, I took the file and placed it into my backpack, the only thing I would be bringing with me. At precisely four o'clock a knock came to my door and opening found Agent Phil Coulson standing behind it.

"Nice to see you again Agent Nightshade." he says as I step out of the apartment, locking it up with my keys and not paying any attention to him. When I was ready I merely nodded my head and he began leading me out the building, down twenty stories and out into the streets of New York City. When we got out of the building I noticed waiting for us a black four door Escalade and wondered silently when they decided to go gangster. As Coulson opened the back passenger side door for me I forced a smile before getting inside. Inside I was met with two black suited agents just like Coulson, one on my left and the other driving. When Coulson got into the free seat I buckled up and felt a hand go near my eyes. Instantly I set my hand ablaze and turned to the man sitting beside me with a glare.

"Don't even think about it!" I shouted to him, my voice echoing throughout the car. With my hand ablaze, the agent actually screamed apparently never being told of my little gift of mankind. His eyes were fixed on my black flame covered hand as Coulson said,

"You shouldn't have made her angry Agent Kyle." the man named Kyle only nodded as I slowly let the fire extinguish itself. Still fixing my gaze on his face, I said in a growl,

"Don't, do, something, stupid, like, that, again!" again he merely nodded as the car began to take off, getting into the traffic that is NYC. Coulson turned round to face me as I leaned back in my seat to say,

"You didn't have to go all crazy on him Sara."

"And he didn't have to put his hands in my personal space." I replied simply narrowing my eyes at the older man before me. He nodded but looked grim as he turned back to face the windshield. The drive to the undisclosed airport took several long hours, luckily for me I had brought my Ipod else they would have had to pull over and get me something to entertain me with. After the several hours we came to a seemingly abandoned airport were only one black jet was waiting on the tarmac. When the car came to a stop, at last, I got out and was met by Agent Hill, the goody-goody. She gave me a smile that I didn't return as I headed up the stairs and into the jet.

"Don't worry about her; she's already threatened to blow up Agent Kyle for being a dumb ass." I heard Coulson say to her as I took a seat, again buckling myself into the jet. When Agent Hill got aboard with Coulson she gave me a hard look before saying,

"I don't know why he came to you." it was a statement, not a question and I took it with a grain of salt. Or more like a cup full.

"Well I didn't want to come on your little field trip to Hell but seeing as if he agreed to get the Red out of my folder, I came along for the ride." I said in responds crossing my arms over myself and silently asking her with my eyes to 'bring it'. She simply rolled her eyes before taking a seat near the pilot who called out,

"Everyone strapped in?" Coulson and I only nodded as the plane built up momentum down the runway before slowly lifting off into the air effectively leaving behind NYC. I knew we'd be heading to the famous Hellicarier and so settled in for a long ride but it seemed Coulson wanted to talk.

"So, you're the famous Nightshade?" he asked me as I tried to listen to my Ipod again. Sighing deeply I turned to face him seeing as if he was sitting next to me and said,

"Look, whatever you were told wasn't the whole truth. SHIELD is famous for hiding all the facts from its employees." one of his eyebrows rose at this before he actually laughed at me saying as he did,

"You know, you're right."

"Of course I'm right, I've been in SHIELDs files as long as I can remember. Oh, about twenty some years?" I said in an annoyed tone before returning to my music.

"What you do to get on their Black List?" he asked me over my music and causing me to growl again. Slowly turning my head towards him, I said in a deadly little voice,

"Nothing that concerns you buddy boy." here the man looked to my hands before saying,

"Just don't blow up the plane." at this I smirked before saying,

"I won't, so don't worry."

"Around you? I always worry." he said leaning back in his seat and sighing heavily allowing me to get back to my music. The ride went too fast for me, with no windows I couldn't tell how long we'd been up in the air so when the pilot called out that we were landing I was surprised. Bracing myself for the landing, I held tightly onto my bag as the jet began its touchdown onto the Hellicarier's tarmac. With a violent jerk of the jet we landed with a hiss of the engine. As I unbuckled myself both Coulson and Hill got out and onto the deck of the Hellicarier leaving me to get out alone. Once I stepped onto the deck Director Fury was there, his hands behind his back.

"Glad to see you with us." he said though I knew he knew I was coming.

"Yeah, nice to see you too Nicky." I said as I followed Hill and Coulson into the depths of the Hellicarier. I could almost feel the smirk on his face at my comment as we headed into the flying base of SHIELD. Inside was just like some sort of military ship, people in uniform milling about with all of them glancing at me as I passed.

"You're needed in the lab, I believe Doctor Banner is already there." Hill said to me turning her head to point to a door labeled smartly 'Laboratory'. Glancing from the door to her retreating figure I called out,

"You know I know almost nothing on Gamma right?" but she didn't respond heading to where I guess the bridge is. Groaning I opened the door and stepped into one of the largest labs I've ever seen, and I'm a biomedical/chemistry/nuclear physic major. Glancing around at the fancy computer screens with no keyboards, the monitors with no wires and the tables littered with equipment I noticed a man standing behind a desk, busy typing away on the screen. His hair was dark brown, peppered with gray streaks and black rimmed glasses before cinnamon eyes. Dressed in a purple dress shirt and brown slacks, he certainly looked the part save the lab coat.

"Hey, doc." I called out to get his attention. His cinnamon eyes glanced up at me and I noticed the flecks of gold in them as they searched my face. Blinking twice, he stepped around the desk and came over asking,

"And you are?" taking my free hand from my backpack strap, I held it out for him to take saying,

"I'm Sara Williams, though I've doubt you've heard about me."

"What? The Sara Williams, graduate of MIT at the age of what was it? Sixteen?" he asks causing me to laugh an honest laugh, which is rarely heard by my peers.

"Yeah, guess you have heard of me then." I replied stepping around him to put down my backpack on a table.

"Heard of you, why, you mastered biomedical/chemistry/nuclear physics at the young age of sixteen only to drop off the radar two years later. I think anyone who studies in those fields knows your name." he said turning round to watch me, taking off his glasses to clean them on his shirt. Laughing again, again an honest laugh, I turned round to say,

"Yeah well, I really didn't want to be found after what happened." and here the man raised one thick eyebrow in question, so, he hadn't heard about the Other side of me. Sighing deeply, I rubbed my forehead trying to explain in a non-exposing way.

"Ever heard of Nightshade?" I asked him at last causing his eyes to go wide, meaning yes. Taking the hand from my forehead I pointed it at myself and said,

"You're looking at her." his face twisted with amazement, wonder and worry at this, a thing I'm sadly used to.

"You—you're Nightshade? The one on SHIELDS Black List?" he asked me his voice clear with confusion. Nodding my head I sighed before taking a seat on the table letting my legs swing back and forth.

"Yup, surprise, surprise right? Well, don't worry, half the things SHIELD says about me aren't true. Same with you doc. They say you're a mindless killing machine when really you're a caring, gentle and understanding man." I say causing him to blush slightly at my kind words. Rubbing the back of his neck he asked,

"Where'd you hear that?" smiling slightly I said simply,

"I have my sources." he chuckled at this and went back to his computer screen saying as he did,

"So, you're here to help me then?"

"Guess so. Or at least try seeing as if I wasn't majoring in Gamma radiation." I said taking up a screen that floated in the air near me. Typing in my key access code I was able to make it onto the mainframe of SHIELD, or at least what I was allowed access too.

"So, tell me, what's the-" but my word were cut off when I looked up and spotted four heavily armored men walking in rank around a tall, ink haired man in a strange Halloween costume. His hands were chained before him, his face surprisingly cool for someone in chains as he looked over at Doc Banner who shifted uncomfortably. When the stranger's eyes landed on me I had to gasp, they were the color of wintergreen mint with an intensity I've never seen before. With a shiver, I watched him turn his head away back in front of him as the men lead him out of sight.

"Well, who the hell was that?!" I asked turning to see Banner who was twitching slightly. Furrowing my brows, I stood from my seat and headed over to him asking gently,

"You ok?" he whipped his head to me, as if seeing me for the first time and sighed out,

"That's the guy everyone's worked up over." feeling one eyebrow rise at this, I wondered if Mr. Stranger was the reason the Avengers were called in. The sound of a knock caused both me and Banner to look up to see Coulson standing in the doorway.

"You two are wanted on the bridge." he said calmly as if whatever tension in the room didn't affect him.

"Goody then." I mused heading over to the man but turned when I didn't feel the doc behind me. Turning, I smiled warmly at the man who still looked shaken up before saying,

"Come on Jolly Green."
