I'm so glad you guys have enjoyed the story so far! I will update about once a week, as I am very busy with other things. This chapter is one of the longest. Enjoy!

FitzSimmons, Skye, and Trip walked down the crowded streets of New York City.

Skye smiled. "There it is, not quite as I remember it."

Avengers Tower was the jewel of New York. With a total of 84 stories, it was magnificent. Where the forty foot tall letters that spelled "Stark" once were, an even bigger "A" was now.

They walked into the lobby of the building. There were leather couches all around with the latest copies of magazines. There was a large reception desk and a handful of elevators.

The group of former agents walked up to the reception desk. There was a smiling office worker sitting there. "Hello. Welcome to Stark Industries, how may I be of service?"

Skye smiled back, knowing what was going to happen. "I am looking for Tony Stark. It is quite important."

The receptionist's smile dropped into a intense frown. "Do you have any idea how many people I deal with? People that claim the Hulk destroyed their apartment, or that their child was Iron Man's. Pages after pages of this stuff. I am going to have to ask you to leave the premises effective immediately."

"Alright. Let's go." Skye replied confidently.

"Plan B." She held her laptop up.

Five hours later, hotel room, NYC

"So what's the plan?" Simmons asked curiously.

"We get Mr. Stark's attention another way. We hack into his server and leave a message. Simple."

"Simple? Hacking Stark Tower is anything but simple. I know you're an excellent hacker. You can get into almost anywhere. NSA satellites, yes. Pentagon, yes. Tony Stark's secure server, absolutely not." Fitz exclaimed.

"Just let me try Fitz. It will be easy." Skye responded.

Skye quickly found out it was not easy to get into his server. Tony Stark's Server had no traceable elements. It was not locatable. There was a never ending rubix cube of encryption around it. However once she isolated the password databank, she had access. She searched through the files and found the folder labeled Just Another Really Very Intelligent System. She left a message that said, let's meet.

"Got it." Skye triumphantly boasted.

"Seriously! That's great." Trip said.

Bling! Bling! Skye's computer ringed. There was a message from Tony Stark. It said to come to Stark Tower as soon as possible.

They went to Avengers Tower. Again.

This time there was a man in the lobby. He wore a fine Italian silk suit. It was none other than Tony Stark.

"Is your name Skye?"

"Yes." Skye said, her cheeks red, clearly fangirling.

"I want to recruit you. Come with me."

They all walked into the private Avengers elevator. It had an electronic display that could bring the elevator anywhere manually.

"Meeting room 5." Tony said.

"Destination confirmed sir. Scanning unknown lifeforms. Mary Sue Poots, Jemma Simmons, Antoine Triplet, and Leopold Fitz. Welcome to the building. However Ms. Poots has been here before during a fan convention."

Skye's cheeks turned bright red. "It's Skye, and it was one time."

They arrived at their destination. It had a large conference table in it, along with a flat screen UHD TV. Tony picked up a remote and clicked a button. The glass walls of the room turned opaque.

Tony picked up his tablet. "Why are you here?"

Trip responded this time. "Our organization collapsed. Our leader made some unethical decisions. I am a trained specialist, and would like to provide tactical support for the Avengers in real time."

"My field is engineering and I am responsible for many of the inventions used by Stark Industries and formerly S.H.I.E.L.D."

"I am in biochemistry." Was all Simmons said. She was quite nervous.

"I think you know my field. I am a former Rising Tide Hacktivist."

Tony cut her off. "You're saying you worked against the government and broke laws?"

"Pretty much."

"That's awesome! You're hired! I'll show you to your quarters later. My army of lawyers will provide you protection against any agencies."

Skye's plan was successful. Little did they know the rising threat.
