"Agent Coulson" I heard a familiar voice behind me. I was standing on the runway, waiting for Steve.

"Captain Rogers." I greeted him as I turned around. "I'm glad you made it."

"The instructions were very clear." He referred the case we left in his apartment asking him to meet us here in the morning. I just nodded agreeing.

"We should get inside, the plane is about to taking off." I informed him shouting, because of the engine's loud noise.

"Agent, Captain!" My Dad beamed as we walked inside. "It's a great honor to meet you! I'm Agent Phil Coulson." He introduced himself to Steve who got a little confused about his last name, I bet.

"It's nice to meet you, sir" He told him, but didn't ask anything.

"Please, take a seat." He offered then he gave a screen to him. "Here, you have some information about the other team members. You can read it while we are travelling." He explained, then walked to the cockpit leaving us alone. I sat next to him.

"Another Coulson, hm?" He asked me looking suspiciously at me.

"Yep."

"Who's happened to be a fun of me…" He put the puzzle together pretty fast.

"What can I say?" I shrugged smiling innocently at him. He returned a smile and dropped the topic, started to read the files he got.

We sat silence for a long time, as he tried to get familiar with the others. He just finished Natasha, when I realized, the next one is me. I quickly scrolled the pages.

"Please, don't. I promise, I will answer every question you ask. But not like this…" I begged him. I really didn't want him to know me from this files. Especially because of my ability. It usually scared the shoot out of people, and they got paranoid. He looked into my eyes and I saw he doesn't understand fully my request, but he respected it anyhow.

"All right, I will take you at your word soon" He reassured me.

"I'm counting on it, Captain." I said relived while he moved to the last person of our team.

"So, this Dr. Banner was trying to replicate the serum they used on me?" He frowned.

"A lot of people were." Dad answered. "You were the world's first superhero. Banner thought gamma radiation might hold the key to unlocking Erkin's original formula."

"Didn't really go his way, did it?" He asked watching a record of the Hulk.

"Not so much." I confirmed.

"When he is not that thing, though, the guy's like Stephen Hawking." Dad added, but Steve didn't get the reference.

"He's a really smart person." I explained to him.

"I gotta say, it's an honor to meet you officially." Dad told him and Steve smiled kindly. "I've sort of met you, I mean, I watched you while you were sleeping." He continued and I slapped my face. He didn't just say that, did he? "I mean I was present while you were unconscious from the ice." He tried to save it, but it didn't really worked. Steve stood up, and walked to the cockpit and Dad followed. "You know it's really just a huge honor to have you on board this…"

"I hope I'm the man for the job." Steve sighed looking out of the window. I walked there too.

"Oh you are, absolutely." Dad reassured him. "We made some modifications to the uniform. I had a little design input."

"The uniform?" He asked surprised. "Aren't the stars and stripes a little… old-fashioned?"

"With everything that's happening and the things are about to come to light, we might just need a little old-fashioned." I patted his shoulder.

"Sir, we are getting off, please sit down and fasten your seatbelt." The pilot asked us, and we did as he said.

A minute later we landed smoothly on the helicarrier.

"Agent Romanoff, Captain Rogers." I introduced Steve to Natasha as we got out from the plane. I was smiling ear to ear to see her. So she made it!

"Ma'am" The Captain greeted her.

"Hi" She responded. "They need you on the bridge. They are starting the face-trace." She told Dad.

"See you there." Said Dad then left. We started to walk along the runway.

"It was quite the buzz around here, finding you in the ice. I thought Coulson was gonna swoon." She started a small-talk with Steve. He looked at me surprisingly, as he first thought she was talking about me.

"Oh, not me." I giggled at the idea.

"Did he asked you to sign his Captain America trading cards yet?" Tasha continued.

"Not yet." I answered still smiling. Yes, that's was my Dad, always the biggest Captain America fun…

"Trading cards?" He looked at me again grinning.

"They're vintage. He's very proud." I said fake-seriously, then we saw another Avenger.

"Dr. Banner." Steve called him holding his hand out for shaking.

"Oh, yeah, hi." He walked up to us accepting Steve's hand. He seemed he is a little lost here. "They told me you would be coming."

"Word is, you can find the Cube." He told the doctor.

"Is that the only word on me?" He asked disbelievingly.

"Only word I care about." He reassured him. I smiled, there's no question he would do a great leader.

"It must be strange for you, all of this." Banner empathized with him looking around. All the airplanes, and people running around the deck, it could be overwhelming. But I doubt it is the situation with the Captain.

"Well, this is actually kind of familiar."

"Gentlmen," Tasha interrupted "you might want to step inside in a minute. It's gonna get a little hard to breath." She looked at me and smiled. So we were about to taking off again. As I got that thought I've already heard the motors' massive noise.

"Is this a submarine?" Guessed Steve looking at me, but I slightly shook my head.

"Really?" Banner got nervous as he hasn't noticed my gesture. "They want me in a submerged, pressurized, metal container?"

They started to walk to the edge of the runway, but Tasha and I stayed.

"So you did manage to convince him." I told her when the guys left us.

"I told you I would." She smiled. "But you did a great job too."

"Well, I think I had the easier task to do, but thanks."

"No, no, this is much worse." I heard Banner's voice, as he realized, this isn't the submarine, but the huge plane. They walked back to us.

"Com' on, it will be all right." I smiled at him reassuringly which he tried to return, but it was just a light smile. We left the deck, headed to the control tower.

Inside, it was like a beehive, everyone was busy, doing their job. For an outsider, it might look a mess, but it is in complete order. Banner and the Captain wondered around. The doctor wasn't used to it, and Steve although was, it was really different than back those days.

"We are at level, sir." I heard as Hill reported to Fury.

"Good. Let's vanish." He ordered.

I walked to a screen, where Clint's picture was shown. Where are you? I muttered to myself. We need to find him as soon as possible. I folded my arms around me and sighed.

"Is he Agent Baron?" I jumped a little as Steve talked to me. I was so into my thoughts, I didn't even realized he stood next to me. "Sorry…" He apologized noticed he scared me.

"No, it's ok." I smiled at him. "Yes, he is."

"I'm sorry for what happened." He said. He probably read in the files, that Loki took him too. "He must mean a lot to you." He deducted seeing my worried face.

"He is a really good friend of mine." I nodded. "We've been on a lot of mission together and he saved my life many times." I remembered. "Yet, I could not help him…"I lowered my voice.

"I know the felling, but don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. Loki took control on him."

"Thanks." I looked up to him and send him a sad smile.

"Agent Coulson, could you show Dr. Banner to his laboratory, please?" Fury's voice brought me back to the present.

"Of course, sir." I responded then hurried to them. "You're gonna love it, Doc. We got all the toys." I told him, and led the way.

"So you are here to make sure, I don't do anything…" He started as we passed the cafeteria and the sleeping cabins along the way.

"I guess you've read my files." I assumed. He didn't tell anything but I was sure. "You know, Doc, I'm more than my abilities. Just as you are more than the other guy." I looked back at him. I wasn't offended that he didn't trust me. As I mentioned, nobody was happy about the thought that I might influence their feelings without even their knowing.

"I know, I didn't mean it, I'm just…"

"Nervous, frustrated, alone?" I understand him completely. Not because I could have read it from him, but I felt the same when I first came here. He was even in a worse situation, I, at least know my father there, and that he would love me no matter what.

"Did you?"

"No, I did not read you, Doctor." I shook my head, as I opened the laboratory's door. "I'm just really familiar with these feelings."

"Agent…" He started with a lot of guilt in his voice.

"What about we wipe the slate clean?" I offered him smiling.

"I would love that" He smiled too.

"All right, so here is your playground." We stepped inside the laboratory. "I'm sure you know the thing here better than me, so help yourself."

"Thank you, it is pretty impressive." He said amused as he looked around.

"No problem, please tell me, if you need anything." I told him, and I was about to leave.

"Do you think…" He said, and I turned back. "Do you think you could help me sometime? You know, with him"

"I would worth a try." I encouraged him. "Find me after work. We can figure out something."

"Thank you."

After showing the laboratory I decided to train a little so I headed to the gym. It was quit, but I didn't mind. I was running for an hour, then punching the bag for another half hour. After that I had a shower, changed my clothes then went back to the control tower.

When I got there I saw people still sitting in front of the computers, looking on the monitors where the machine looked through footages all around the world to find Loki or Clint. I found Dad and Steve talking and as I approached them I heard my father:

"I mean, if it's not too much trouble."

"No, no. It's fine." Steve ensured him.

"Is he trying to make you dedicate his cards?" I grimaced teasingly when I arrived. Steve looked at me smiling and just nodded.

"It's a vintage set" He sounded a little offended. "It took me a couple of years to collect them all."

"We got a hit." The cadet told us. "A 67% match." He confirmed and I saw Loki's picture flashed on every screen. That's something! I felt my heart beating faster. It could mean that Clint is near too! "Wait, cross match, 79%.

"Location?" Asked Dad.

"Stuttgart, Germany, 28 Königstrasse." He informed us.

"He is not exactly hiding…" I took a look on the footage. He was dressed up, and walking on the street casually.

"Captain" Started Fury "You're up"
