A/N This chapter is dedicated to biancahope, because she was the first to review my story. I hope you guys like this first full chapter. Review please! :)

Agent Maria Hall was waiting for a quinjet to arrive holding the Avengers. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. 1 year to be exact. Ever sine she was taken. She was shaken out of her thoughts when the quinjet she had been waiting for arrived on the Helicarrier. When the ramp was dropped she put on the neutral face mask she was trained to do. As a confused group of Avengers, minus Thor, came out Iron Man landed right next to the jet. As his face mask comes off, to show Tony Stark underneath, he begins with the question on everyone's mind. "So what are we doing here? Is the world in need of saving again?" Agent Hill rolled her eyes and addressed the group in front of her, "Director Fury will explain just follow me." With that they headed inside. They got to the big open room with the windows and agents working away, and sat down at the big table available. 5 minutes later Director Fury walked in and began immediately speaking.

"We don't have time to mess around so I'm going to get right to it." He nodded at Agent Hill who passed around a file to everyone. They all opened it and looked at the information provided. "What you have is the information on Agent Emilia Esposito. She was kidnapped 1 year ago while on assignment." Inside the file they saw a picture of a 23 year old with shoulder length medium brown hair with dark blonde highlights and deep blue eyes. She had a small face that had a big smile on her medium full lips. Her skin color was very light. It listed facts such as her height, 5'4, her eye color, hair color, and more. Everyone looked at the picture feeling some sort of familiarity to it. It was Agent Natasha Romanoff, known as the Black Widow, who spoke up. "She looks familiar. What does she do? I noticed that it doesn't specify that in her file."

"She is a level 9 agent. What she does cannot be explained as she does a lot of different things." Hearing she was level 9 everyone looked up.

"Natasha, Coulson, and I are only level 7s." Director Fury looked at Agent Clint Barton with a pointed look.

"Exactly. It has been 1 year since she dropped off our radar. And since then we have been doing everything possible to find her. Today we received information regarding her location." At this he gave them all the pictures he himself saw earlier. "There is a farmhouse in Nebraska. It's in the middle of nowhere. When we turn our infrared on it we find a woman and 3 men. If there are more we are unsure. However we believe this is Agent Esposito. I need you to go, neutralize the threat, and retrieve Agent Esposito. I know after what happened with Loki the Avengers were essentially disbanded with the exception of a worldwide threat. However, Emilia is in need of help. I am afraid she may have been taken by an organization like Hydra." At this Steve Rogers head popped up. Seeing this the Director shook his head. "Honestly. We don't know. But I need her safe. And I don't trust just anyone to this task. I'm asking please. Get her back." By the end Director fury turned and was looking out the window. Everyone looked at each and silently agreed. Agent Hill seeing this spoke up.

"The coordinates are in the file you have. Barton and Romanoff you have access to a quinjet and Stark. You have to ride with them." Hearing this Tony groaned. They all headed out to the hanger where the jet was. Everyone got in and once they were flying Dr. Bruce Banner, known as the Hulk, spoke up.

"Did you guys see the way that Fury looked at the end?" Steve nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah. It's as if he was begging. Clint and Natasha you're agents, do you know anything about Agent Esposito and why the Director would react that way?"
Clint looked back to Natasha and she nodded. Taking this as permission to turn around and talk he did so. "She looks familiar. However I don't know where I saw her. I think why Fury was shaken up is because Hill is level 9. Fury is a level 10. So the fact that she is level 9 is a big deal. It means she worked close to the Director, and has knowledge not many people do. Do you know her Tasha?" He turned to the red head and noticed she was thinking so he went back to the controls.

"I know her face, but there are so many agents in S.H.I.E.L.D that it's hard to know where. But we are only 10 minutes out. So get ready." Steve looked around ready to address the rest of the team.

"Ok. Since we don't know who took her we'll needed surveillance. So Stark I need you up high. Check the surrounding area to make sure we won't be ambushed or anything." Tony nodded at this and put down his face mask so you only saw Iron Man. Steve turned to the rest of the group. "Barton find a place to set up and secure the perimeter of the house. Natasha and I will go inside and neutralize the threat and retrieve Agent Esposito." Everyone nodded as Steve turned to Bruce. "I don't think we'll need the Hulk. Be prepared anyway. However we don't know what condition she is in. From the picture she is laying down so they could have done something to her health. Do you think you can prepare a triage on the jet to stabilize her until she can get to the helicarrier?" Bruce looked closely at the infrared picture before nodding. Everyone looked at each other then out the front of the jet "We're here." As Natasha declared their arrival Clint dropped the back so Tony could go out. As soon as he did they closed the ramp and found a place to set it down.

They shut off the jet and opened the door. As they prepared to leave Steve looked back at Bruce, "And Bruce. If anyone comes near the jet feel free to smash." Banner nodded his head, however as he turned he rolled his eyes at the "Smash" comment. The 3 agents stealthily went towards the house. Once Clint found a barn with a good view he broke off to get up high. Steve and Natasha did signals to say that Steve would take the front and Natasha would take the back. It was a 2 story farmhouse relatively large with a wrap around porch. They knew she was being held upstairs so Natasha was trying to find a way upstairs. Once Steve got to the front door he did a very quiet countdown in the comm that they were all given and put on before getting on the jet. Once he got down to 1 he kicked down the door while Natasha climbed into an open window that went into a bathroom. He surprised one guy in all black holding a gun. Before he could even get a shot off Captain America threw his shield at him, knocking him out. He saw Natasha and together they moved upstairs. They cleared each room until they came to a corner. They turned down it to see an other man in all black with a gun. Again Steve threw his shield at him knocking him out. They went into the room he was guarding and Natasha, doing a quick sweep as soon as the door opened, saw one hostile and shot him. They looked around and saw a ton of medical equipment and a girl strapped down to a table with tubes coming out of her. She was almost unrecognizable compared to the S.H.I.E.L.D photo. Her hair was so long it nearly reached her waist. It was so dirty that it looked black. She looked so frail, she was skin and bones. Steve and Natasha looked at each other before going forward and taking out the tubes. Steve got on the comm while Natasha looked for something to cover her up, because she only had underwear on. "3 hostiles are incapacitated. We have eyes on Agent Esposito." After Natasha found a blanket she went to take out the tubes. Once they were taken out Steve went to pick her up but she screamed in pain, so he immediately set her back down. Natasha and Steve looked at each other. "Guys. Natasha and I could use some help. Bruce. We need your doctor knowledge." They heard agreements and Tony came flying in. Upon seeing the small frail agent he was frozen in his spot. The same happened when Clint came running up. Bruce came into the room and shook his head. He went up to her and did an assessment. when he finished nobody had moved. He took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose as he began to speak. "Um. I don't know how we're going to get her out of here. Until I can run tests this all a guess. But from what I can tell she either had or has every bone…broken. Currently there are points in each limb which cause pain with movement. Even the lightest of movement." Everyone was in awe. It was Tony who spoke everyone's thoughts. "How is she still alive?" Bruce shrugged his shoulders as he continued. "We need to find a way to get her out of her with the smallest amount of movement." Tony's brain ran faster then an Olympic runner.

"What if we make a hole big enough to get a stretcher through? I blast a hole in the wall. Roman or Barton Fly the quintet so the ramp is lined up to the hole and then we all gently get her onto a stretcher." He looked at his teammates and saw they agreed. "Alright I'll fly the jet so Barton can help to move her as carefully as possible." Natasha ran off as the guys just stared at the agent. Bruce checked her vitals and turned to the guys. "If we're gonna do this we need to do it now. Tony make the hole. Clint and Steve be ready to move her." The nodded as they heard the jet come close. When the wall had a large hole, and the jet lined up they sprung into action. Steve went into the jet to get a stretcher. Lining it up with the table she was on Bruce began to speak. "I don't know how much damage is done. But I know that she is very broken. Literally. So. The best way to do it with minimal pain is this. Tony. You need to be at her head with your hands on her back supporting her neck. Understand?" Tony nodded in his suit and got into place. Bruce looked at the other 2 men in the room. "Steve and I will get her torso. Steve pick her up by pinning her arms to her sides. Not too strong. Just enough so they don't move. Understand?" Steve gave a nod and got in place, while Bruce looked at Clint. "Clint, same idea with her legs. Grab her legs and keep them as straight and still as possible. Ok?" He nodded and got into position along with Bruce. He looked at everyone as they slowly grabbed the small agent as they were told. Bruce counted down for them to move her onto the stretcher. When they did they heard a scream so loud and piercing it was surprising no windows broke. However once she was on the stretcher her screams died down to cries then whimpers. Bruce and Steve slowly and carefully pushed the stretcher onto the jet. Meanwhile Tony took pictures of everything for records and Clint went around the farmhouse putting a bullet in each kidnapper. They were his orders from Fury. Show no mercy.
