Tight.

That was probably the best word to describe her new uniform. But no matter how tight the suit fit her, the woman couldn't help but smirk at her reflection in the dark steel wall. "Well at least I look damn good in this thing."

Turning to her backside, the agent couldn't help but grin at the way the suit hugged her butt. Like Natasha, her flat booty now stood out in the skintight leather. Was it wrong to say that Bella may or may not have stared at her co-agents butt once or twice? Either way, it didn't matter because now she looked just like her.

Before walking out of the room, Isabella made sure to take her gun out of the standard SHIELD uniform and place it securely in the holster on her right thigh. "Oh wait…" Bella whispered to herself as her hands rummaged to the waist of the uniform. "Can't forget this." She pulled out the small yellow gem from the attached belt.

Even in the dim light, the stone sparkled just so to the point where she became memorized from the inside out. With a quick shake of her head, the agent sighed. "Can't think about it too much…can't let that happen again."

Rummaging through her new and unfamiliar pockets at her waist for a pocket to place the stone in proved difficult but eventually she found a secret compartment in which she could store the precious gem. "Alright…now all I gotta do is think of a damn good alias…" She thought still crouched down in front of the pile of clothes. Lucky for her, the new boots were in a heel like Natasha's so the current position of letting all of the weight of her body onto her knees didn't hurt as much.

Sighing hopelessly after not knowing an acceptable new name, Bella stood and turned to walk out of the room. As she placed her hand onto the handle of the door, something deep in her gut didn't feel good. Turning her head quickly Bella scanned the room for any imperfections but saw nothing.

"But looks can be deceiving…" She knew better than to trust only her eyes. By closing her eyes and listening with her ears while her sense of feeling heightened, the trained agent could feel some other presence in the room with her.

However, this person wasn't going to reveal themself at this moment, Isabella knew that for sure. Instead of thoroughly searching and being paranoid she continued to pull on the handle of the door walking out of the room.

Phil had been long gone by now thus leaving the agent to walk about the cabin as freely as she would like. Her first option was of course, was to head to the left where the Lab and Bruce were located. On the other hand… there was a certain matter Isabella wanted to discuss with their captured prisoner.

As much as this option scared the living crap out of her…she needed to talk to Blonsky and figure out the specific information about the situation. Heaving, Bella shook her head and turned the corner to the right as her boots echoed down the empty hallway towards the containment room.

As she turned down one hall into another, that feeling of being followed still hovered her presence. Without warning, Bella turned behind her back sharply but still nothing but an empty hallway was found.

With a shake and turn of her head forwards she attempted to rid the feeling away as best as she could…but it still wouldn't go away. As she rounded the corner of the Hulk chamber and saw the large bullet-proof steel door on the left showed a reflection of herself just as the walls throughout the Hellicarrier did.

But there was another reflection. The face of a tall platinum blonde woman in the background next to her shoulder revealed to the agent the uneasy feeling of being followed. Quickly clutching the gun from out of the holster on the right, she shot down the hall only for the bullet to connect to the steel wall down the passageway.

"I know you're there!" She yelled out holding the gun protectively to her chest. "Just come out where ever the hell you are and surrender!"

…Nothing.

For a solid two minutes the agent stood in front of the door watching patiently until the perturbed sensation dissipated.

Placing the safety back on the gun, she quickly placed the weapon back into the appropriate pocket and then turned to the door. She quickly tapped in the code on the side panel and the door pushed aside automatically allowing her to enter the room. Making her way towards the glass in the center of the room, Isabella stopped staring down her target with a glare.

"Ello there again, darling." Emil's face was a wicked smile, something she got used to seeing on his mug of a face. "Love the new out fit…what seems to be the trouble?"

Instead of answering right away, Bella allowed the tension to surge as she stared him down. It was a simple technique she learned during her time of SHIELD in order to get the target to talk.

"I want you to tell me what kind of spell you have Richard Peterson under." She responded coldly but firmly. Her intensity showed the man this was a demand, not a question, and it would be answered or else consequences would ensue.

He chuckled resting his back on the bench in the triple Hulk-proof glass cage. His voice was still raspy from not using it for so long. "He's not under a spell or any drugs or nothing. No one is."

His response caused the woman to fold her arms over her chest, "My father was a good man. He wouldn't join the likes of, whatever the hell you all call your stupid club, without being forced."

His chuckle grew into a full on laugh. "No one is being forced to do anything."

"Then what about you? Why are you doing this? As a military man you should have more honor than to run with villains like Zemo. What did he do to you?"

Emil shot up with an angry pace towards the woman protected from the glass. If looks could kill, she'd be dead four times already from the glare in his blue eyes. "Zemo saved me. Zemo is providing me the opportunity I've always wanted. The chance to kill your precious beast."

"And why do you hate him so much!? What did Bruce Banner ever do to you, Emil Blonsky? Other than not kill you like he should have the first time you met!?"

His snarl twitched into a smirk while his right hand touched the glass as if he was trying to cup Bella's cheek. "You know he looks at you differently than that other woman…"

It was Bella's turn to twitch her mouth at his tactical changing of the subject. "W-What do you mean-?"

"Betty Ross… the general's daughter. Even though Ross had created that monster inside of him, there was a certain look he gave… her- he doesn't give you that same look- that same look… of unconditional love." He responded coolly and sincerely almost. Bella's eyes widened, and then softened, and then glared understanding he was only trying to get in her head. "Do yourself a favor," He continued. "Drop that unworthy human being of a man and find yourself someone who really loves you. Someone who's not pretending or trying to find the next best thing. Ross was his one true love."

Hearing those words made Bella take a step backwards lost in her thoughts, 'Could that be true?' She wondered looking to the floor. Her eyes seemed to zero in on the metal base of the glass cage capturing Blonsky inside of it. "You're lying."

"Ask him yourself. Have you ever brought her up?"

Isabella shook her head trying to remember the words she and Bruce had just exchanged a few moments ago… her brain focused in on the sentence he had stated about Betty:

"She's back home. Married, I believe… it doesn't matter. Ross would never have it."

And then that thought quickly evolved into the memory of the night she was drunk at Stark Tower. She had mentioned something about that Betty-woman because she was all over in his SHIELD database file. He had given her the same look he had given her today… that look in his saddened eyes made Bella regret even the mention of her name.

"Be-lla…Be-tty…it's so easy to connect that 'Be' sound." Emil backed away but still maintained a focused glare on her figure. "Tell me, in bed had he ever mixed-"

"No!" She snapped sneering her eyes to look back at the man.

"Ahhh." His smile increased. "You haven't been with him, have you?"

"How, might I ask, is that ANY of your business?!" She yelled pounding her gloved fist on the glass. Emil only nodded his head. "Guess it's not." He pursed his lips forward and then sat back down on his bench. "But it could be if you wanted it too."

She removed her hand watching his seductive glace carefully. He was just toying with her mind so that he could escape and kill her and the others. "You won't fool me…" She turned her head to glare back at him when she stopped suddenly. "But… I guess. If I could test my theory…it would-"

Just what the hell was she saying?!

It was almost like someone else was controlling her mind. "It would be worth the try…maybe." Her body turned to face back at the cage while he stood up; she noticed his hand in his pocket for some reason.

"Try then. You might like what you get. But you'll never know if you don't test it out."

Bella nodded and turned to the control panel on the side of the cage. Without a thought, she mindlessly punched in a code without even knowing what numbers she was hitting. The desire seemed to be swarming in her chest forcing her curiosity to test just what type of man he was insisting he could be.

The door pushed aside and she quickly typed in another code, this one to lock down the doors and turn off the monitors. Although, if she knew SHIELD like she thought she did, someone would have already mentioned to Fury and the others she was in the room. Or worse, that she was aiding Blonsky…like her father.

The stomp in Emil's boots quickly made their way up to Bella's position when she gasped in realization to what was happening.

In that second, she felt arms wrap tightly around her waist while a slimly force pressed against her lips drowning her helplessly into the sexual tension and pure excitement of kissing someone she wasn't supposed to. Pulling her lips apart, Bella insisted the two be closer together and thus draped one arm around his neck with her other hand fumbling with the prickle of his blonde beard.

He was amazing, no doubt, but there was something more about the way he was kissing and holding her closer to him. What exactly this type of sensation was, she couldn't be entirely sure. There was only one thing she knew she was sure of as a moan and a buck of her hips rocked Emil's leg. 'I love him.'

Exactly like her father, she too was now turning her back on SHIELD. She was the enemy now. She was the villain the Avengers were fighting against.

Entangled in one another's arms was how he and the rest of the concerned Avengers found Bella and Emil in the containment room. Bruce's feet halted now feeling the growing rage running rampage in his chest, his heart, and mostly in his head. It couldn't be… he thought but then felt helpless as the two separated their faces to look back at the incoming group. They hadn't separated their bodies from the other, though and Bruce made a note of the way she held him in comparison to when she was holding him just a few minutes ago.

Clinging to this monster as if Emil were him… surely she knew this wasn't the correct person to be embracing, right? His fists began to tighten even more so than they were before.

When Bella didn't pull away and continued to hold onto Emil in silence, Bruce fell victim to the green. He couldn't bear to see her with him. And with that last thought, he allowed the Hulk to take control of the steering wheel of his mind, not daring to focus in on the events that were about to ensue because of it.

Bella felt sick to her stomach staring back into the green angry eyes of Bruce. He was trying to fight back the strong pull of the Hulk on his body, but he was failing miserably at it. Inch by inch, his muscles bulged and skin darkened into that familiar shade of green.

"B-B-Bruce…" She managed to force out his name despite the horrible defying feeling of how much she didn't want to do so. She looked up to Emil and then forced her way out of his arms glaring back at him as much as he was to her. "You've tricked me. You did this-"

Her sentence had been cut off from a flash of green and a thunderous roar that almost seemed to push Blonsky away from her figure just with the force of the sound. There was agony behind that roar. As if the Hulk hadn't known how to cry resulting in his growl as a source of tears. Standing in front of the woman, Hulk boomed his warning once again to Emil and then turned his focus to Bella standing behind him.

"Bruce! Listen-" She attempted to say when a streak of green collided with her body. As she slammed into the cold sheet metal of the floor the only thought that she could comprehend through the pain was the Mind Gem. Emil must have had it in his pocket, she thought remembering his hand distinctively in his pants. There was no way she would have acted without the persuasion of it.

Now attempting to push her body up and onto her arms, the growl of Hulk sounded just above her.

"Miss Marcone!" T'Challa gasped floating in the air just above her figure right before Hulk had the chance to attack her. With a slight turn of her head, the agent noticed Cap and Logan fighting alongside of T'Challa, along with some other SHIELD agents firing at the green mass of a man as well. The two fought making Hulk forget about his anger targeted toward the amber-haired woman.

Bella sat up watching in horror as not only T'Challa took on Hulk, but also Logan and Steve as well. They were trying to disarm and secure the beast, of course, but it looked to be a winning battle for Hulk rather than Bella's saviors.

Assuming the boys could handle the situation, Bella's next thought was to get a hold on Blonsky. As she assumed, he must be on his way to escape from the ship with the use of the mind gem. Quickly rolling on her back to avoid the rage of her green boyfriend, the Agent flipped up to her feet and ran with all her might through an avoiding path of Hulk.

As she entered the archway of the hall leading out of the containment room, Bella couldn't help but look back towards her friend. Making eye contact with Steve's bright blue eyes, she nodded firmly confirming she was running after the real enemy.

"Agent Marcone!" A SHIELD agent held her down as she turned away from Steve, "I'm afraid you will have to come with us!" Another man grabbed her opposite arm dragging her in the opposite direction.

"NO! You don't understand! He's getting away and he has one of the GEMS!" The men still continued to pull her as she struggled to free herself without harming the rookie agents. "Fine then." She huffed and then quickly took a hold of their index and middle finger not correctly placed on her arms. With a heave and the men in a vulnerable state allowed her to flip them onto their backs.

"Rookies." She shook and then looked over her shoulder towards the area Emil ran off in. "I'll be back for Bruce. Just give me three minutes."

While the men groaned from the wind being knocked out of their lungs, Bella swiftly made her escape down the hallway at a quickened pace. She didn't want the sound of her boots to give away the element of surprise, but she didn't want to lose her target either.

Coming up to an intersection, Bella had to use a bit of training to figure out what direction Emil was heading to the jets out on the deck. Closing her eyes, Agent Marcone stood still listening to the subtle sound of footsteps down the right.

With a confident smirk, Bella devised a plan in her brain to intercept Emil without him even noticing her taking the gem. Her plan was simple and effective to retrieve such a high priority item.

She took a hold of the ladder leading to the catwalk above the hallway and took off in her fast pace once more. As soon as the footsteps of Emil became obvious, she slowed her pace to a tip-toe until she came close enough to see his back and the gem positioned in his back pocket. With a quick glance around she realized that they were in the small room leading up to the elevator that reached all floors of the Hellicarrier. Although, it was doubtful Blonsky knew that.

From the body language Emil was possessing at the moment, Bella thought it was strange an ex-marine would be this frantic, but that only gave her a bigger window to retrieve her item. She reached into her side pocket until her hands wrapped around the small grenade used for distractions such as this one.

After popping off the trigger, Bella threw the object into the massive light in the room while she jumped from out of the raised platform and into the corner of the room across from the elevator.

"What the-?" Emil gasped as the lamp burst causing the room to be pitch black. Bella quickly jumped into action just before she was compromised from the emergency lights that would turn on in a few seconds.

She rolled onto the floor swiftly without her suit making any noise and then reached into his pocket better than the average pick-pocketer on the streets. With another roll she escaped his personal bubble and then leaped up back onto the catwalk still with the lights turned off. Bella knew better than to look back and therefor she didn't until she was far enough down the platform from the room.

When the light finally allowed the space to become visible, Bella had already the ladder to the platform and made her way this time by running down the hall as fast as her legs could take her.

"That was close…" She shook her head making her long and brittle hair slap her cheeks lightly. "Too close…" She continued to run as she held the deep glittery blue stone in her hand. Just like the Reality gem, the Mind gem was oval and could fit easily into the palm of her hand. Not wanting Hulk or the Agents to knock the gem out of her hands when she would enter the Containment room, Bella quickly stuffed the object into a different pocket on her belt.

Taking in as much needed breath, Bella turned the corner into the containment room and gasped at the situation. Not only was Hulk still angry, but now both Tony and Rhodes attempted to subdue him with their arc-reactor suits.

"What are you doing?!" She screamed with tears threatening to roll from out of her eyes. "Stop it!" She ran to the green giant with her hand raised and palms towards him. "TONY! Stop, you are hurting him!" she screamed again as he roared defensively.

"Agent Marcone!"

A voice yelled out from the opposite entryway. Looking towards the noise, she had to sigh from the angry look in Agent Hill's eyes.

"Please, just let me help him…" Bella ignored the woman reaching into the pocket with the Mind gem. "I took this from Blonsky, he was controlling me with it. I can help Bruce, just give me two minutes!" Bella begged looking at Maria and then towards Hulk, "Please! I can-"

"Fine, but two minutes, agent. Hurry up!" Agent Hill nodded with her gun still clutched in both hands. "Stark, Rhodes, assist Marcone!"

"Bruce…" Bella looked towards the Iron Men now hovering above the green behemoth with their palms raised cautiously towards his head. She took a step towards Hulk with short breath threatening to awaken the beast from his disorientated state.

Hulk looked up at the woman as soon as she reached his personal space with a growl. "Bruce… I-" She tried to speak but couldn't find her voice as he roared at her figure with a face of complete disgust. He was angry as always, but this time he was emotionally distraught.

"…Bruce?!"

He roared once again.

"I'm sorry." Bella knew why he was upset. "Hulk…Hulk, listen." She clutched the gem tightly in her hand wishing Hulk would calm down in that instant.

His panting suddenly softened and the way he crouched over seemed to relax. Now he looked like a harmless green giant. "Bella…hurt." He rumbled.

"I know." She nodded reaching with her free hand to his cheek. "I'm so sorry…that wasn't me, that was-"

Just then a crash and boom sounded from down the hall Isabella had just walked down. At once, a thick lump in her throat formed and Bella's feet would not budge at a challenging roar sounding from down the hall.

"Blonsky…" Bella whispered loud enough for Hulk to hear. The figure in the middle of the doorway was growing bigger every millisecond into the monstrous and ghastly figure. When he gained enough muscle, Emil reached out his hands and shoved the metal walls of the hallway as if they were cardboard.

"YOU!" He snarled looking straight into the eyes of the amber-haired woman. "GIVE ME BACK THE GEM!"

Quickly the calm and uneasy room erupted back into the hectic statue once again as Abomination tore into the wall of SHIELD agents and through T'Challa and Captain.

"HULK!" Bella cried letting her control of the Mind gem go. "Hulk, I'm sorry but I-" She attempted to apologize until Emil jumped into the center of the room where she and Hulk had been positioned. Before Tony or Rhodey or Hulk or even Bella had a chance to move, Blonsky shoved Isabella to the side and into the control panel of the containment chamber.

There was a vibration pulsating through the steel. A flash sparked from what she thought what was Tony's arc reactor-blasters, but other than those simple and cloudy details Bella was blacking out. She attempted to gain control of her neck and arms, but with every convulse of her movement the weaker she got.

A hand shook her right shoulder while another hand attempted to lift her up. "-ella?" The ringing in her ears subsided and instead changed into the voice of Steve Rogers. "Hey? You okay?" He questioned again as the woman attempted to look up at her friend.

The sound of metal crunching and guns firing in the distance was distracting Bella from the captain, and as much as she wanted to question the sake of Bruce a growl stopped her from doing so.

"Look out!" Steve yelled as he wrapped his arms around Bella's small waist and pulled her to the side just before Abomination hit his target. Shortly after, Hulk had attempted to stop the strike but instead had been thrown in a rage for not hitting the target.

Bella gasped for a moment, looking up at Steve. "Thanks." He nodded back and then made a shocked face. In another swift movement, he held up the shield to defend Bella from another punch from Abomination.

"Thanks again." She huffed shaking her head to get the equilibrium back into place. Steve only nodded again and then used all of his strength to push Emil's hand away. "I'll take him. Go!" He pushed the small of her back towards Maria and the other SHIELD agents.

"Are you-"

"GO!"

Bella nodded quickly running off in the direction without looking back. As much as she wanted to help the others, with the risk of a concussion she was no help at all.

Ignoring the fighting and rage behind her, Bella looked frantically for Agent Hill in the crowd of black suited agents.

"Stand back the Containment Chamber will drop in one minute! Tell the others to fall back!" A woman's voice yelled in the room causing Bella to change focus once more.

"Maria!" She ran to her fellow agent holding a stun gun in her hands. "Hill!" She yelled standing up with the blue gem in her hand. "This is how Emil was controlling me, The Mind gem. You need to take this to Fury right away," She took the gun from her hands replacing them with the gem. "Go now before-!" But her warning came a second too late.

Clutched in the giant sickly yellow toned skin hand gasped Isabella now attempting to fight for her freedom of Emil's grasp. "Go!" She looked to Agent Hill once again and then to face the monster holding her. "Let go you asshole!" She spat literally in his face. Abomination roared and dropped Bella to the floor.

"You fell into my plan, woman, however you stealing from me was not a part of the scheme." He spoke with a grin. The same evil grin he gave to her in his human form. "Now watch your beast die-!"

"Agents, fall back!" Maria yelled with the gem kept tightly in her hand. "The chamber will-"

By the time Bella comprehended what she meant by the 'chamber' the floor dropped.

Clutched in the incrusted hands of Abomination, Isabella Marcone fell from the sky.
