I hope you guys enjoy because I have to say it's my favourite chapter so far. Please review to tell me what you think.

Chapter Four

"Your school transcripts should be in the office early tomorrow. You will have to be there early and see about your classes." Said a black guy with a black leather eye patch from behind his large desk; he was apparently Director Fury and top dog.

"So I get no choice. I can't say no" I said knowing I was basically summarizing his speech.

"Miss Lewis" he said very seriously. "We keep our assets close and our liabilities even closer."

"And I am a liability" I said shaking my head before grabbing my computer bag, and walking towards the door.

"I would look at this an experience. It's not every day you get accepted to New York University with a full ride." I walked out the door slamming it behind me. I stopped, and took a couple of deep breaths trying to control my anger, because unfortunately I tended to cry when I was angry, and there was no way in hell that I was going to see him see me cry.

"Hey! Are you okay?" I lifted my head and saw the guy with the bow from a couple of hours ago in front of me.

"Do I know you?" I asked him. He looked at me confused before his expression changed to worry.

"Are you feeling drowsy? Are you allergic to anything? Maybe you should sit down" he said. I smiled feeling a bit better.

"No, thank you. I am okay." I said trying to smile reassuring but knowing it came out a bit forced.

"Are you sure? Because you asked me if you knew me and I just saw you not even two hours ago" he said.

"No" I shook my head." I am fine. You just look very familiar, and I know I have seen you somewhere before."

"I don't kn-"

"Barton, give me a moment with Miss Lewis." Agent Coulson interrupted before he could finish.

"Yes sir. "Barton, which I guess his name was, smiled down at me and walked away.

"If we could step into my office, Miss Lewis," he said motioning for me to follow him. I walked after him into his office.

"Please have a seat." I did, and he moved to sit behind his large wooden desk.

"You have to forgive Agent Fury. He can be very…"

"Assholism?" I supplied.

"…Tactless" Coulson finished "Which some people can confuse with assholism tendencies" to that's I had to raise my eyes brows.

"He was too harsh, Miss Lewis." He said "But you have to understand that we need to keep you protected, and it is safer if you are close"

"Safe? Safe from what?" I asked confused.

"Darcy" he smiled softly at me "You are friends with Thor, the God of Thunder. You work for Jane foster, Thor's girlfriend, who is also roommate to the avengers. You were there when the New Mexico incident, and many people want to connect the dots and you are right smack in the middle of it" he said plainly.

"But I didn't sign up for it. I signed up for an internship" I said a bit desperately.

"I know you did, but this is where we are now," He said leaving no room for argument, "you do have a choice. You can choose to go back to new Mexico, and go back to your normal life praying that no one connects the dots, because if someone does you and all your family will be in danger. Or you can choose to stay here in New York where you will work for Jane, not as an intern but as an assistant with pay and health benefits. Live in Stark Tower, and from what I gather Tony has the perfect room for you. Attend a highly respected university where you don't have to worry about books or tuition, and where you don't have to keep looking over your shoulders. It is your choice Miss Lewis. I will give you a couple of hours to think through. See you in the cafeteria in two hours" He said dismissing me,and giving me much to think about it.

I nodded my head standing up and walking out the door. I thought about leaving and going back to Stark Tower but he did say he wanted to meet me in two hours in the cafeteria. I guess I was staying in the building. And started walking forwards without knowing where I was going.

I hated to agree with Coulson, but he was right; I was in the middle of it. I had somehow tangled myself with these people by accident or by destiny but from the looks of it we're going to be in each other lives.

I didn't want to put my family in danger, okay well my mom and a few other friends I considered family. Unfortunately I would be putting them in danger if I was to go back to New Mexico, even if I stopped talking to Jane and Thor. But, to be honest, I don't think I could do that. Jane and I had become friends, maybe not best friends – sometimes it felt like we were too different, where I usually carry my heart on my sleeves Jane is the opposite. She is shy and quiet and has a very good poker face to hide her feelings – but very are good friends none the less. I am very comfortable around her and working together we know how to work in sync without having to say anything. I cannot count how many times she had needed something and I had giving it to her without much thought and vice versa. I greatly respect her as a human as well as a scientist and her work.

I was an only child and always the tomboy, and I spend countless nights wondering what it would be like to have a brother, and I realize that I would have picked someone like Thor. He would have made a great big brother. He is strong, and I just know that he would have use that muscle to protect me and funny always ready to laugh and looked at the bright side of things which I really respected.

Jane had also mention last week how Thor and Loki fought when Thor came back to earth when he thought Loki was dead and how he was so happy to see him alive. He also told her that he had begged Loki to stop the alien invasion, and go back with him back home. How for a moment even it if was a short moment Thor had believe his brother would agree to help and go back home. Thor was ready to go up against his father to defend Loki, but the next second Loki had stabbed him and Thor knew that the Loki he had grown up with and love was gone and how sadden he was by it.

He had given Loki a lot of opportunities to redeem himself, and that is another reason why he would have made a great big brother.

He would also make a great little brother. He is thousands and thousands of years old, and yet has this innocence and able to see the good in people. He is also new to this planet, and its technology and I want to be there when he experience all the fun. Maybe take him to the zoo or six flags. That would be fun and funny – I hope he is a screamer with the rides.

But that aside it would be good I won't have to worry about my mom and me paying for next semester. NYU is a good college and they could have definitely sent me somewhere worse. I won't have to worry about picking any shifts at the diner. I still work with Jane which is good. But to be honest I was a little wary about living with a bunch of people in spandex, leather and iron suits.

"Hey" speaking of the devil. I smile looking at the Bow guy.

"Barton? Right?" I asked.

"You can call me Clint" he said smiling.

"Okay" I said.

"So what was that all about back there?" he asked.

"Oh… you know; evil guy with eye patch threatening me than the other guy giving me choice bad and worse" I said with a grimace. He looked at me for a few seconds before looking forwards and kept walking.

"So you are moving in with us." He said it as a statement and not a question.

"Fury's bark is worse than his bite…sometimes "he smiled looking back at me before looking back upfront. "I can see where he is coming from" I was ready to argue "But I know his paths can be questionable. But you also have to understand that you are very important to Thor and Jane. Thor has done nothing but talk about you and Jane, and we can all see he cares a lot for you. The country is divided in two with what happen in Manhattan. Some people are questioning our motives" I gave a very unlady like snort. He laughed. "I agree with you, but that is the way it is right now and we have to be patient as see where it goes from here, so I suppose Fury is under much heat right now."

"Oh"

"It's not just that." he said "There are many people who are strongly against us and not quiet about it. And it's Thor who they are going after most strongly. You have to remember that it was his brother Loki who started all of this, but since he is not here and Thor is they feel its Thor who should be held responsible for its"

"That's crazy" I argued.

"It is," he nodded his head, "and the way to get to him is by you and Jane."

"Well that sucks" I said. He chuckled at my admission.

"That it does Miss Lewis"

"Call me Dar-"I gasped.

"Are yo-"before he could finish I punched him in the arm.

"What?" he asked rubbing his arm.

"It was you!" I accused "You were there when Coulson and his goonies went to the lab, and picked up all the equipment, notebooks, and all of Jane's research." I said punching him again. "You were the one who took my iPod" I punched him again.

"Stop with the punching" he said a little annoyed.

"Hey! It's your fault I have had trouble sleeping for like the last six months. I had the perfect playlist for it, and had just downloaded like 30 new songs that day" I said.

"Didn't you get it back?" he asked.

"Obviously not" I was getting very annoyed.

"You should have just gotten a new one" he said still rubbing his arm.

"What part of student, and internship, as in not getting paid, don't you understand?" I asked him.

"Oh," we were quiet for a few moments. I was planning to get him back somehow.

"You know we could go look for it" I looked up at him and I could see the mischief in his eyes.

"Okay" I agreed.

We walked down to the elevator and went down the first floor and walked out the building towards the back entrance. There Barton put in some code to get inside where we took another elevator a few floors down.

"Talk about secret agency much" I thought as the bell chimed and we got out the elevator. We walked for a few minutes before stopping at a large wooden door where Barton had to punch in a code again. We entered a room, no more like a football stadium size room full of box after box neatly piled up all with different dates and names. He asked me what day they had confiscated our things and we went all the way to the back before we found 6 boxes with Jane's name on it. After the fourth box I was starting to lose hope when Barton yelled.

"What?" I asked

"I found it" he said holding out his hand. I quickly stood up from the ground where I had been sitting. I grabbed it from the palm of my hand inspecting the case with the yellow lemons and the words that read "When life gives you lemons, squeezes them into people's eyes and Run!"

"Oh my god! You found it" I yelled throwing my arms around his neck and kissing his cheek. I went back to check my iPod knowing I would have to wait till we got back to the tower to make sure it was okay. I looked up to thank him once again and realize he's cheeks were pink and that he was looking anywhere but me. I laughed and decided to store the information for black mail later on.

"Code Green, I repeat Code green" I looked up to the speaker as the emergency light started blinking green.

"We better get out of here" Barton said covering the box and pulling my hand as he walked towards the door. We walked out the door to see agents in black with guns running the opposite from the elevators.

"Let's get you out of here" he said. As he started jogging always making sure I was by his side. We were a few yards from the elevator when out of the corner of my eye I saw something green and Barton wasn't running next to me anymore. I stopped and looked back to see the green human throwing Barton against the wall.

"Go!" an agent yelled at me pointing to the elevator.

"But-"

"Barton will be okay! Go!" he yelled. I nodded my head and stared running towards the elevator. I was waiting for the elevator to open thinking it was a good idea I was out the area, seeing I had probably hurt the green guy enough for a life time. I walked into the elevator relieved. I was pressing the "close doors" button when it started closing. The large metal doors were almost close when large green hand pried the large metal doors open. I was faced with the green human hunched down to look into the elevator.

"Look, I was trying to leave!" I yelled scared.

He moved his foot to get inside the elevator when someone yelled.

"Code 36568 over right! Close Elevator doors" I looked to the right to see Clint yelling out as his nose bleed. Before the green human could react the metal doors closed quickly.

I sighed. Okay Thor, Tony and Clint I could live with. Giant green human: not so much.
