AN: Here's the next chapter! Hope everyone enjoys this!

Tony and Nina startle and look up when the door to the computer room slams open. In walks the group who had interrogated the Hydra agents. Clint and Natasha are in the front with Steve and the twins hurrying to catch up. Natasha's face is cold and hard but other than that there's no emotion. Clint's face, however, looks as if he's going to drop a nuclear bomb down Hydra's throat.

"I take it you didn't get anything?" Tony asks with a raised brow. Clint sends him a glare and Natasha hovers by the computers and stares at the screens. Steve shoots Tony a look that tells him to 'shut up', which he thankfully does.

"Where's Johnny?" Nina asks as he eyes look behind the group.

"Blowing off some steam before he goes over the edge," Steve explains and Nina nods her head.

"You guys get something yet?" Natasha asks with impatience in her voice.

"Yeah, but you might want to get Johnny down here first," Tony answers with a look at the group in front of him.

Five minutes later and Johnny is storming into the room. Clint and Natasha turn their attention to Tony and cross their arms and raise their eyebrows. Tony sighs but turns around and begins typing. He pulls up images and information and projects them onto the large screen.

"Chase Morgan," Tony says as he pulls up a picture of a dark-haired man with dark brown eyes to the forefront. "There's been a theory going around he's Hydra. Unfortunately, we don't have much proof."

"And you're telling us about him why?" Clint asks with his voice dripping in sarcasm.

"Because Robin Hood," Tony snarks back earning a glare from Clint and a grimace from Steve. "He has a research center based on the outskirts of Boston."

"I'll bite. Why is this important?" Johnny asks from where he's leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. Tony pulls forward a satellite video of the facility.

"In your experience, what research facility needs this much security?" Stark asks with a raised brow and a look at the rest of the group.

"One that's trying to hide something," Natasha spits out with a glare at the footage where numerous bodies stand guard and patrolling.

"What makes you think Alex is there? We can't just invade anything. Alex doesn't have that kind of time," Clint asks as he studies the footage.

"We sent one of Stark's Thermal Imaging drones out there under the radar," Nina explains as she pulls up another video feed. This time the feed shows red blotches shaped like humans. The team watches as the feed moves over the facility until it gets to the rear. It stops and Natasha lets out a quiet gasp. The feed shows an almost empty room. In the middle is a lone figure sitting in what seems to be a chair. Outside the room there are two more figures who seem to be standing guard.

"It could be anyone," Steve says but knows they're going to check it out either way.

"You want to take that chance? Because we don't," Clint challenges as he jerks a thumb at Natasha and then himself.

"Suit up," Steve announces and the team quickly disperses.

AVENGERS

Alex grunts as she reaches down to the middle of her belt. The Death Serpent and his goons left about fifteen minutes prior. The only reason she's still alive is because they need her for bait for her parents. It seems to be easier if they kill them all at once. At least that's what the Dark Renegade think. Finally reaching her belt, Alex pulls at what looks like the silver circle surrounding one of the holes. Instead, it's a knife hidden inside her belt. Alex maneuvers the knife around and begins cutting at the rope that's chafing her wrists.

It doesn't take long, but longer than Alex wants, before the ropes give way and her hands are free. Standing up, Alex replaces the knife in her belt. She silently and swiftly moves to the door and listens carefully. She doesn't hear anything but she's not stupid to believe there won't be guards. Turning around, Alex takes in her surrounding.

She could make a loud banging noise with the chair. It will certainly lure the guards into the room. However, they'd more than likely call for backup; at least notify the other before entering the room. Making a decision, Alex moves back over to the chair and grabs the rope. She puts her hands behind her and makes it look as if the rope is still around her wrists. With a smirk, Alex begins shouting.

"What do I have to do to get some water here?! It won't do you any good if I die of dehydration before my parents get here!" She shouts as she readies herself to put her plan into action.

The door opens and both guards stomp in with scowls on their faces. Alex sends them a smirk and quirks an eyebrow. It only serves to make their scowls deepen. Alex looks for her opening.

"You have a big mouth for you size," the light-haired guard growls out.

"I blame it on my father," Alex replies with a grin. "So, about that water."

"Oh, I'll give you water," the second guard, the one whose face resembles a pit bull, threatens.

As he steps forward threateningly, Alex lashes out. She kicks his knee and he lets out a howl of pain. Before he's dropping to his good knee, Alex stands up and swings the chair at the blond guard. The chair smashes in his face. The blond stumbles and Alex punches the pit bull looking guard in the shoulder which turns him away. She wraps the rope around his neck and throws a kick at the other guard approaching her. It lands in his stomach and stops his movement. Alex lifts her leg and kicks him in the head. The blond's head flings to the side and he falls to the floor. Turning her attention to the other guard, Alex hears him gasping for air as she's pulling on the rope. Pulling harder, Alex waits for him to pass out. With a jerk of the rope Alex deposits the unconscious guard onto the ground.

"I blame that on my mother," Alex says before she quickly grabs their guns and jogs to the door. She places one gun in the back of her waistband and holds the other in front of her.

Peering out, Alex sees the hall is empty. With a glance on the walls and ceiling, she swiftly moves into the hall after not seeing any cameras. Not really knowing which way is the way out, Alex goes to the right. When she gets to the end she peers around the corner. To the left is a door and a couple of guards. She jerks back and steels herself. Her eyes dart to the door ten feet away. Swiftly moving over to it, Alex opens it. It's a closet. Glancing around and not seeing anyone, Alex slams the door shut and movies back to the end of the hall.

There are shouts for clarification from the guards and then, Alex hears them walking towards her. Readying herself to pounce, Alex waits. As soon as the first guard rounds the corner Alex is slamming the butt of the gun in his face. He drops to the floor and Alex wastes no time in attacking the other guard. She swings the gun and smashes it into the side of his temple.

Five minutes later Alex has dragged the guards bodies into the closet. She silently closes the door and rushes to the door in the other hall. She silently opens the door and glances out. Sliding out, Alex finds herself outside.

Alex jogs over to the edge of the building and looks around the corner. Suddenly, she's hit in the face and she drops to the ground, the gun escaping her possession. With a groan Alex feels her nose and sees it's bleeding again. A figure in front of Alex looms over her. Blinking her eyes clears her vision and Alex sees a gun pointing at her.

"Get up," the man orders and moves to talk into his radio. Alex pushes herself to her knees and before the guy can notify anyone, Alex reaches behind her. She pulls the other gun out of her waistband and shoots the guard in the chest. Knowing her cover is blown now, Alex runs towards the driveway.

Gunshots sound behind her and she starts to run towards the trees. Suddenly, she jerks and there's pain in her left arm. Not taking the chance to slow down, though, Alex keeps running through the trees. Abruptly, someone steps in front of her and Alex immediately attacks them.

She shoves the weapon in their hands to the side and throws a punch at them. However, they block it and tries to restrain her. She swivels out and throws another punch. The punch is blocked again and she's swung around. Alex's back shoves into a tree behind her.

"Alex, it's us. It's me," Clint says and Alex really looks at her attacker this time. Her heart racing and her breathing heavy, Alex sees it's indeed her dad. Her eyes dart around to see the rest of the team as well.

Someone walks up to her and Alex's head jerks around to see who it is. Natasha is standing next to them and here eyes take in the blood dripping from Alex's nose. Alex watches as Nat's eyes shift down and widen. She grabs Alex's arm and gets a better look.

"You're shot," she says and shares a look with Clint. Natasha looks back at Tony and Steve.

"We need to get her checked out," she orders and Steve and Tony nod their heads.

"Let's go then," Steve says and glances towards where a siren sounds.

"Yeah, before we have all of Hydra on our asses," Johnny says as he steps over to Alex and gives her a hug which she returns.

"We need to go," Clint urges and the team rushes to where they left the ship.
