*woop woop for over a thousand views 3 you guys soo much

Flashes of images fading in and out of focus shifted from one memory to another within a matter of seconds, some lasting longer than others. From behind Red, the Avengers faces were drawn to the monitors, watching in anticipation as a blurred image of a darkly dressed man came into focus. Following closely was a SHIELD agent, her face was clear but both of their voices were chopped and faded.

*On Screen*

"What is this place?" the women, who appeared to be a slightly more relaxed version of Red, tailed cautiously behind the dark hooded man. Red looked around in awe at the golden laced statues that surrounded her. Each one dressed in similar garb the man in front of her. The upper part of the body featured a hood which came to a point and resembled the beak of a bird, below was drowned completely layered robes. The only difference was, the man was shadowed by the darkness of his garbs.

"This." He said, "is our sanctuary." The man turned around and faced his accomplice, hiding a smile under the shadow of his hood. He walked slowly towards Red and extended a firm gloved hand to her. "And now… it's yours as well."

Reds breath was clearly caught in her throat, she staggered back towards the wall and leaned her head back against it. Red pushed a breath out between her teeth and gently closed her eyes. "Zane, I can't see how this is going to work. I know who you are, SHIELD knows who you are, and it's only a matter of time before they find out who I am."

*Glitch ( image becomes lagged) then returns to normal)

Zane pulled his hand back to his side and stood still for a moment and looked around at the statues. He mumbled a few foreign words Red seemed to understand as she gently opened her eyes and rested her head in her hands. Zane bent down in front of her and leaned closer, placing his hand on her leather covered leg.

"Crina, we are assassins, you are an assassin, we cope with the world as it is, the same way we have been for the past hundreds of years." He leaned closer and brushed her hair away from her face. Red smiled slightly as Zane lifted her chin lining their lips perfectly…

(memory glitches and screen goes black)

*Off Screen*

"That can't be it, for what purpose would a man want to know of that sanctuary." Frustrated Red began to bite down on her sharp fingernails, paying no attention to the expressions of the men behind her.

"Um, please tell me if I the only one who is thinking this." Tony pointed at the screen and flashed his focus between Bruce and Steve, "What the fuck was that?"

Bruce scratched his chin in wonder. He was finalizing what he had just witnessed and tried to find the right explanation. He walked around Tony and stared at the panel where Red offered her blood, paying close attention to the thin beaming light inside of it.

"Red, you did say that we saw your past right?" Steve leaned back on the table and closed his eyes, bringing back the pictures and the thoughts of his not so glorious history.

Red stayed silent, focusing her eyes on the screen in front of her which now showed imaged and some minor information.

"This machine, it can analyze and project the memories of whoever's blood it takes correct?" Bruce attempted to make eye contact with Red, but found it useless. She closed her eyes and began to answer sternly.

"Indeed Doctor, it does seem that way doesn't it? But I will tell you it's not." Red slowly turned to Bruce and softened her brutal gaze. She pointed to the screen and watched as an unsuspecting image appeared followed by the resumption of the memory. Red's breath caught in her throat as she watched the men's eyes stick to the screen and knowing she couldn't stop the relapse, she stood in silence turning her back from her memory.

*On Screen*

"What happened to you?" Red traced the bruised marks over Zane's bare body. She looked up at him and began to admire his hazy green eyes. "Did I do this?" Red pushed away Zane's choppy brown hair from his neck and saw two small wounds, only about an inch apart.

"The bite here… yes you did do that." Zane seized Reds and gently pressed them to his lips, "But these, are courtesy of you two colleagues."He smiled as he guided Red's hands over various scares and bruises, left behind from previous encounters with the SHIELD agents.

"I too have had my fare share of scaring, but none from any of you men, just my own wrong doing." Zane released Reds hand and sat up strait with his back against the head board of the bed. Laying partially on top of him , Red looked up to find Zane's eyes focused on her.

"So I have noticed, is that from the Rage?" Red sat up and inched closer to Zane, who began to slowly move his hand down her chest and began to trace the various intricate markings on her pale skin.

"When the blood rage is triggered, my blood heats and seeps through the skin causing it to blister and eventually scar."

(Memory Glitches and the Robotic voice breaks the silence)

"Memory initialization complete, last memory viewed at 2:30 pm by agent Barton, Clint also known as Hawkeye."

Steve tore his eyes quickly from the screen and worryingly looked at the scientists, "Stark, I thought Coulson said Clint was compromised."

Tony raised an eyebrow and began to wonder about the situation, very much aware of how fast it could turn critical. "Yeah he did, and that would mean that Clint was here, and might still likely be here considering its only 3:15, Bruce any thoughts on this?" Tony turned to the doctor who was leaned against the edge of the table, contemplating what seemed to be the circumstances. "Bruce?"

Dr. Banner looked up in alarm but bypassed Tony and Steve and walked directly up behind Red. Adjusting his glasses, Bruce chose his words carefully, fearing the outcome of both his anger as well as Reds. "Those marking, you say that the blood seeps through your skin causing blistering, yes?"

Reds gaze was focused at the hard steel flooring of the room, she acknowledged her attention with a slight turn of her head. Feeling the tension thicken between her and Bruce, Red simply began retracing the markings over her arm as if she was bare and turned to face Dr. Banner. She looked slightly up at him with a certain anger he had recognized in himself, but before he could acknowledge her to speak Tony had already began to do so.

"What does that have anything to do with the situation other than the fact that we can all say we have seen her naked, which mind you we all wanted to do." Appearing slightly to the side of Dr. Banner, Tony glared at his fellow scientist while Steve held a foul expression that was directed toward Tony's foolish comment.

Red breathed heavily and scrunched her nose, feeling a rush of anger take over her body she pulled the knife from the holster on her right thigh. Red lunged at Tony and pushed him against the wall, holding the knife uncomfortably close to his neck.

"Don't think for a minute you pretty looks are going to save you Stark, when this ship goes down I will be sure that you go with it." Red continued to sneer but Tony had a remarkable sense of humor and kept his smile plastered to his face as he pointed towards the door of the room.

" Ladies First." Red tore from Tony's roughly shaven face and focused on the door. She took a deep breath as she lowered the blade from Tony's neck. Red slowly stepped away from Tony allowing Nile to place her hands once again in cuffs.

Without another word from any of the men, Nile led Red quickly out of the lower levels of the Helicarrier, rejoining with two other agents, behind the door. Looking back momentarily Red caught the sight of Dr. Banner and noticed a slightly green tint in his eyes, she smiled and began a conversation with Nile.

"You better have a good reason for having me go down there to save your ass." Nile walked quickly as the rounded various corners of the second floor. he seemed cautious and stepped lightly.

"I was not in need of saving, I need another favor, this time much bigger." Nile gave the signal to the agents to stop as the fearsome words poured from Reds lips. The agents obeyed and scattered leaving Red and Nile to continue their walk.

"Like the other one wasn't? what is it you need this time?" Nile playfully poked at the recent favor he had done and hoped Red would lighten her mood before he too began to feel disheartened.

"I need you to over-ride the systems so only I can access them." Nile stopped and turned around to face Red, who was looking straight at him. His shocked expression showed no sign of his disobedience but rather confusion.

"I guess there is no point in asking "why" is there?" Seeing no change in Red's blank facial expression, Nile pulled out his phone from the front of his vest pockets and looked at it immensely. "I hope you know Red, this time you're on your own, I can't interfere or SHIELD will know I'm aiding you."

"Thank you Nile I'll be sure to signal you when I'm ready." Breaking a small smile, Red lifted her hands in front of her and made a slight pouting noise. When Nile unlocked the cuffs Red rubbed her wrists and nodded at Nile who began to trudge up the stairwell, to the main floor of the Helicarrier.
