I don't own the Avengers or Harry Potter.

Warning this fic will be AU and will be Fem Harry.

Due to some reviews and my own observations when re reading through this fic I am going through and doing as many corrections as I can to the chapters to make this a better read for people.


Chapter 3

Previously

Unknown Location in America

"Sir there is something that you need to see, a girl has recently been taken into hospital. She matches the description that the program brought up for the child that went missing eight years ago." Maria Hill informed her boss Nick Fury.


Maggie sighed it had been a long day, she had been sent to check out a potential case of child abuse and neglect. Which had proved to be the worse than anything she could have imagined, she then had to wait for an hour and a half to see if she could get the girls name. Which she hadn't managed to get, the girls relatives had been asked what it was as well and they had said that they just called her girl. They couldn't remember what her name was from when they had got her years ago when her parents died in a car crash.

Now finally she was at home on her sofa drinking a cup of tea after having such a stressful day. Maggie knew that she would have to go back to the hospital tomorrow her boss still wanted the girls name. The hospital had been able to make an estimate on her age, but it could be a few years out because of how small and malnourished she is. They had said that the best estimate they could make was six or seven years old.


With Taylor

Taylor cuddled down on the first proper bed that she had slept in. The woman, Maggie had finally left after an hour of trying to get Taylor to tell her what her name was. She hadn't told her, she didn't want to know know if she had any other relatives anywhere. Taylor hoped that if Maggie came back that she wouldn't keep asking about her name.

She didn't mind having her company, after all she had taken her away from the Dursley's. Maggie had read her a chapter of a book called Matilda before she left, which was nice no one had ever read to her before.

Thinking about what might happen to Matilda in the next chapter, was how Taylor dropped off to sleep in the first real bed that she had ever been in to her knowledge. Unfortunately for Taylor she didn't get to stay asleep due to the nightmares of her Uncle beating her.

"Are you sure Hill?" Fury asked, from where he was standing behind his desk.

"Yes look at this." Hill said.

She turned a screen around showing him a news report on the arrest of the Dursley's and, some of the conditions that the small girl had been found in and how old the hospital thought she was (six or seven). It also said that since she had been in hospital, she hadn't said anything they hadn't even been able to get her name.

"It is the closest match to the image that the program brought up for her," Maria told him.

The program very useful, it could show you what a child would look like providing you have pictures of the parents.

"Hill I want you to take Rogers, and go to Surrey and see if you can get a DNA test done for her." Fury ordered, then muttered "I feel sorry for those relatives of hers if she really is their daughter…"

"Yes Sir." Hill replied.

"And Hill, don't say anything to Romanoff and Barton. Don't tell Rogers whose child we think it is either." Fury ordered.

"Yes Sir, are we going with private investigators again?" Hill asked.

"Yes I have already sent an order down to get you two some fake ID's" Fury said.

Maria Hill nodded and left the office, going to find Captain Rogers to tell him that they have a mission.

She quickly established that Rogers wasn't at the base, and after asking around she found that he was at Avengers Tower. That was going to make this slightly more difficult, because no doubt Romanoff and Barton would be there too.

Maria got into her car and drove through the busy roads until she got to the large tower and parked then she walked into the reception and asked the receptionist to tell Stark that Maria Hill was here to see them.

A few minutes later she came back and told Maria to go straight up, and that they were expecting her.

When she got up to the right floor she was met by the Avengers sitting rather relaxed talking about, well she wasn't sure what they were talking about.

"Hello Hill, the receptionist said that you had come to see us." Stark stated.

"I'm not here on a social call. Fury has given Rogers and I a mission, we need to leave now for Surrey you have got five minutes to get anything you need." Maria told him.

"Oh and I thought you were coming to spend some time with us. I'm hurt Hill." Stark said dramatically.

"I will get ready then, do I get to know what this mission is going to involve?" Rogers asked getting up to go and get ready.

"Well there won't be any fighting involved, I hope." Maria tells him, she can't tell him anything here because Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton would suspect something if she said anything about a abuse and kidnapping.

"Why are you taking Steve on a mission with no fighting? Please don't tell me you're going to try and take him undercover. He can't lie to save his life!" Natasha exclaims.

"It wasn't my decision Natasha, Fury said that Rogers would be coming with me. The agent that I wanted to come with me is out of action due to a bullet wound that she got on her last mission. I am just following orders." Maria told her as Steve comes back with a bag on his shoulder.

"Right, let's go. This should be an in and out mission, shouldn't take more than three days. We need to go to a SHIELD airbase where our flight will be ready waiting for us." Maria told him.

"Well I guess I will see you guys in a couple of days." Steve said as he follows Maria back into the elevator.

When half an hour later they had got on to the plane and were in the air, Maria give Steve his fake ID.

"Why am I going to need a fake ID for a private investigator?" Steve asked.

"We are going to check out an abuse case that could connected to an unsolved kidnapping that happened eight years ago." Maria told him.

"We're investigating a kidnapping?" Steve repeated slowly, not believing that this is something that SHIELD usually looks into.

"Yes the child's parents are SHIELD agents, so Fury had me keeping an eye out after the case was closed unsolved four years ago," Maria informed him.

"It was an open case for four years?" Steve asked looking shocked.

"They are important SHIELD agents and there are two unsolved murders of agents in that case." Maria stated.

"Something has just come up connecting this to a case of child abuse and neglect in Surrey. They haven't been able to get the child's name yet, so hopefully if her name hasn't been changed and I know it, that will be enough for them to give her a DNA test." Maria expanded.

"Okay what's her name?" Steve asked after taking in that information. "And why did I come and not Natasha, who would be able to do a much better job?" He added as an afterthought.

"Seriously Rogers! Can you imagine Romanoff with a terrified child? I think the poor child would probably end up more terrified. And the girl's name is Taylor." Maria said.

She only said that to throw Steve off who the girl's parents might be because she had a feeling that he was close to figuring it out. Maria actually knew that Natasha was very good with kids, she a big soft spot for kids after what happened to her as a child.

"I suppose," Steve agreed.

Then the pilot told them that they were there and wished them good luck on their mission. They got off the plane and into a taxi, Maria told the driver where they wanted to go to (a hotel that had been pre booked for them) and then they were driving through relatively quiet streets.

Soon they were settled into a couple of room and preparing themselves to meet the girl tomorrow.


I thought I would leave it here… But I decided to be kind and give you some more.


The Next Morning (Maria and Steve)

The next morning came around quickly, and after some breakfast and a quick discussion about what they would be saying and how to make sure that they did get the DNA test that they needed. Maria and Steve headed off to the hospital at half past ten, planning to get there for eleven. When they got there they went up to the reception,

"I'm Masie Heart, I am a private investigator. The child abuse case that came in here yesterday is thought to be connected to a kidnapping that happen in America eight years ago." Maria told the receptionist.

"Yes Miss Heart and whose your partner?" The receptionist asked.

"Samuel Road," Steve said.

"Okay I have just spoken to the officer running the case, who's with her at the moment he has said to send you up." The receptionist said after she gets off the phone to supposedly the officer.

They get directions off her and then go up to the private ward were the girl is recovering.

Going into the ward they see an officer in there and another woman who is speaking to the child and from what she is saying still trying to get her name.

"Hello you must be Maise Heart and Samuel Road, I'm Officer Charlie Smith I am in charge of the child's case here." Officer Smith said.

"Yes, it's nice to meet you." Maria said.

"So you think this case is connected to a kidnapping in America eight years ago." The Officer said a little doubtfully.

"Yes we do, there was also a double murder in this case, the two sitters that her parents had hired were found dead when they got back. They hired us to see if we could find their daughter." Maria said quietly.

Then continues when Officer Smith didn't say anything, approaching the bed she said, "I understand that you have been having trouble getting her name, why haven't you told the nice lady your name Taylor?" Maria asked.

She smiled when the girl looked up at her in shock mouth hanging open, the child had her mother's bright green eyes and red hair but she had some of her father's features.

"How?" Taylor asked quietly. Shocked into speaking that this woman knew her name.

"Well if you are who I think you are then your parents told me your name." Maria told her kindly. Taylor looked tired and Maria wasn't surprised after what she had been through anyone would be having nightmares.

"You have just had more success with her in five minutes than I have had in two days. I'm Maggie Lewis, I was the one who got her out of the Dursley's house." Maggie said.

"Nice to meet you." Maria answered, as they had planned Steve was staying quiet and letting her do all the talking, she had seen him talking to Officer Smith, but that was fine.

"How will you be able to tell for sure?" Taylor asked looking up at the new woman who had come into her ward and knew her name.

"One of the nice nurse's here will come and take a swab from your mouth and then they will go and test it to see if your DNA matches the samples that I have got of your parents." Maria explained to her.

"Samuel could you go and get one of the nurses please?" Maria asked.

"Yeah, I can." Steve said, going out of the room.

He comes back five minutes later with a nurse who quickly takes a swab from Taylor's mouth.

Taylor scowls after the nurse she didn't like that nurse, that nurse was a meanie. But thinking on a more positive note she might have parents out there who loved her but she did have to be sure.

"Masie?" Taylor asked the woman had told her to call her that.

"Yes Taylor, what is it?" Maria asked looking the young girl, she looked so small, and beaten up her left arm was in cast and her right ankle was in a brace. She had bruises on her face and Maria new from speaking to the nurse that Taylor was laying on her side because she had had to have stitches in her back because of the lashes that she had been given by her Uncle.

"If I am who you think I am, will my parents love me?" Taylor asked.

Maria was quite sure that she looked as appalled as she felt, "Of course they will love you, they have always loved you. They were devastated when you were kidnapped." Maria told Taylor firmly not wanting to think that her parents wouldn't love her.
