Chapter 8
Here's your next chapter everyone, sorry it took me so long. If you read my other story, then you would understand why. (My computer needed a fixing.) So, yeah. Here's your chapter
Ok. I don't know how long I've been here, but it's really starting to piss me off. These people still haven't told me exactly what they need me to do, but whatever it is I'm sure it's stupid and bad. After they patched me up again I realized something different. I don't know what it was but I felt a lot weaker and… vulnerable. I tested my strength on the last guy who came into my cell and I couldn't dislocate his arm from stopping the punch… so somethin's up.
I stare straight ahead at the wall in front of me. I still don't understand how they haven't realized I'm the one who Hydra experimented on. C'mon I mean -anyone could really see that, right? Whatever- as long as they don't find out.
I'd been keeping track of they're visits. So if I'm correct, someone should be coming in right about…
Suddenly the door opened and the supermarket guy; as I like to call him; walked in. Now. Damn I'm good. He sat in the chair in front of me; holding a tray of food. It included a piece of chicken, and a roll of bread. Yum. –Oh, of course I'm being sarcastic it looked like it was from mars or something. I smirk to myself.
"Unfortunately, we can't go to the main location yet, thanks to the rise in SHIELD activity. But don't worry, we'll get there eventually." He says. I glare at him for a few seconds. I've been having trouble talking for a bit, don't know why. Probably from my stupid allergies. Yeah, I got those. But once the serum started kicking in and changing my physical stability and all, I kinda lost my allergies. But now that I'm weaker and whatever they injected into me, messed with the serum somehow. Whoop.
"Sir, the package is here." A guy said, walking into the room. He turned; giving a nod. He got up and went for the door. It closed behind him and I waited for the cuffs to unlock. The Vibranuim hand cuffs this asshole used had some kinda on and off switch to unlock so you didn't have to do it manually. I hear them click and I pull my hands out; looking them over. My hands were asleep from the lack of blood flow. My skin was sliced up at the wrists and covered in dry and flesh blood. They were beginning to turn black and blue from bruising too. I sigh. It did hurt, but I was starting to realize that it wouldn't hurt as much as whatever was to come. I wasn't out of this yet.

Natasha stared at her husband on the infirmary bed on the Helicarrier. She didn't understand how she could lose both him and her daughter in one night. After Clint was brought back to the carrier they got word that Alex was missing, like missing, missing. She also found out that Rogers had forgotten to mention that Alex was just a few feet away in his apartment when she stopped by. She was a little pissed with him, but not at Alex. At this point she couldn't blame her daughter for anything. She now realized how Alex saw everyone looking at her differently. Rumors were going around SHIELD to. She couldn't imagine how it felt to be in her shoes.
She wondered how she and her husband ever thought having a child would work out. - Ok; it wasn't really planned out at first. But when she was born, they couldn't think of how they made a mistake. Sure it would be dangerous; being spies and all, but shouldn't everyone have the chance at having a family? She grabbed ahold of Clint's hand; squeezing it tightly.
"I don't know what to do Clint." She whispered. "I can't do this without you." She felt her eyes tear up.
"Natasha." She turned seeing Steve in the doorway. "Fury needs you on the bridge." He says. She nodded; giving Clint one last look before getting up and walking past him and out the door. She quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes; putting on her deadly glare. This better be important. She thought.

Natasha walked onto the bridge; seeing Fury, Coulson, and Johnny. What was Johnny doing here? She thought. She knew that he and Alex were getting along pretty well despite her shady past, but she didn't really know how good of friends they were.
"Romanoff." Fury greets. She gives a nod; crossing her arms. "Alright, we'll be sending out a team to go investigate this, Dark Core. And also the Renegade."
"I thought they were off the grid." Johnny spoke up; referring to the Renegade.
"They were, but recently we found traces of them popping back up. I'll be sending Romanoff, Coulson, and Rogers to check it out." He says. Natasha felt her expression darken. She didn't want to go look for the people who almost ruined her daughter's life almost a year ago. She wanted to go look for the people who were ruining her daughter's life now.
"When are we leaving?" Steve spoke up. He showed up a minute earlier.
"In a few hours. Go get ready." They gave a nod. Coulson walked out; followed by Steve and Natasha. Johnny was left. Fury walked away from him and over to a table. "You need to keep this quiet." Johnny raised an eyebrow.
"Sir?" He questioned.
"I need you to go undercover looking for Dark Core's base. We have some information that we dug up. It should help you." He says; placing a folder in his hands. Johnny looked at it; opening it up. Seeing quite a few documents and pictures. "Your mission info is in there as well." He adds. "You leave as soon as possible." Johnny looked back at the director; then gave a nod. Walking off the bridge and toward his dorm to get ready.

3 hours later…
Agent Romanoff, Captain Rogers, and Agent Coulson had left already and Johnny was boarding the Quinjet. He didn't really think he would find anything. The Renegade was; he had to say; a well-organized group. But if Dark Core had broken off they would have; most likely; similar training and skill.
After he got into the pilot seat and brought up the ramp; he took off. The new Quinjets only needed one pilot. He would take the jet to a SHIELD base in Montana and drop it off. From there, he would be undercover.
A few hours later…
The quinjet set down on in front of the base. Johnny looked out the cockpit windows; seeing a few other quinjets and a least a dozen SHIELD cars. Flipping a few switches and pulling his pistol out from under his seat; he got up and walked toward the ramp. Pressing the button on the side wall panel; he waited for the ramp to come down before walking off. Several agents walked past him to take the jet to the opposite side of the base as he walked toward the building.
After walking down a few halls and passing a few control centers; he walked into the main room of the SHIELD building. Agent Davis turned; seeing Johnny walk up.
"Agent Knight." He greeted.
"Agent Davis." Johnny said; shaking his hand.
"What brings you so for out west?" He asked.
"Fury's got me undercover here. Agent Barton went off the grid recently." He explains. Agent Davis raised an eyebrow.
"I received word Agent Barton was in a coma." He says.
"No, his daughter; Alex Barton." Johnny says.
"Oh." He says. Johnny gives him a look. He didn't like the way he responded.
"What's that supposed to mean?" He almost demanded.
"Honestly; if you ask me I don't trust that kid. She's got no right being an agent in this organization after what she pulled with the Renegade."
"Well I didn't ask you, Agent Davis." He makes clear. Agent Davis glares at him for a moment before nodding. Johnny gives him one last look before heading for the door. "Don't scratch up my ride. I'll be back for it in a few weeks." He says; leaving the room.

Johnny walked into his hotel room; throwing his duffle bag on the bed and looking around the room. The walls were a watered down olive green and the bed had a chalky brown comforter with green lining. There was a brown dressed; night table, and bathroom door. There were to windows, one in the bathroom; which was smaller; and another beside the bed. It was a corner room on the outer side of the hotel.
He fell onto the bed; staring at the ceiling. First things first; read the mission info… which was one thing he didn't feel like doing after the long day. After putting away all of his clothes, and toilet trees, he sat down on the bed; looking over the weapons he sneaked in with him. He had a pistol and two sets of throwing knives; each with 7 knives. He also had a Taser; not that he preferred to use it.
After hiding the pistol in the nightstand drawer, putting a knife under his pillow, and putting the rest in his duffle bag; he laid down in bed. He was about to close his eyes when he heard a bang on his window. He jumped out of bed; his knife in hand when he saw the last thing he would expect.
"Jace!?" He blurted out. The hawk was on his window sill; pecking at the glass. He put the knife in his pocket and walked over; opening the window. He held out his arm and Jace hopped onto it. Something caught his eye. There was something tied to his foot. He untwined it from his foot and saw it was a piece of paper. Unraveling it; he began to read it.
You might need this.
Ok… Looked like Fury sent him some help. Jace looked up at him and chirped. Johnny smirked; letting Jace hop onto the post at the end of the bed. He turned off his light before getting into bed; sliding the knife back under his pillow. He sighed; staring at the ceiling again. Something told him tomorrow would be a long day.
