ALRUGHT GUYS, BACK WITH ANOTHER CHAPTER AND HOPE YOU ENJOY IT. THINGS ARE FINALLY GETTING A BIT MORE INTRESTING AND I THINK I'M JUST GONNA GO AHEAD AND ADD ANOTHER CHARATER INTO THE MIX PRETTY SOON HERE….. REVIEW AND ENJOY CHAPTER 9 OF THE MERMAID AVENGER AND THANKS FOR ALL THE INTRESTING REVIEWS.

"Shit," both girls said at the same time.

"I do have to admit that you two were interesting case," Fury said, "I got curious when Natasha stole a hard drive of information and gave it to a kid, she's too smart to just give it to any kid. And then it turns out this kid is the niece of Tony Stark, the Iron Man who helped save the world not too long ago."

While Fury talked, he failed to notice that Tye had slid the flash drive with the mermaid tail on it into her pocket.

"Yea, well, small world, are you done creepily standing in my room?" Tye asked.

"You obviously have thought about my offer. You took the technology I gave you and retrieved several items we could not from the bottom of the ocean. It was a test to not only confirm my suspicions that neither of you are normal, but also able to go on missions. I see you've brought back what you could from the storage unit. Most of it was stuff that was proto type weapons that we give to our agents during missions," Fury continued.

"Really? Weapons for your agents? What the hell are these then?" Alex asked, picking up and handful of flash drives.

"Some are designs for weapons, some are files on people or certain organizations, some are about certain events that are both known and not known thought out the world, some are SHIELD's personal information" Fury replied.

Alex dropped five of the flash drives that she had picked up back into the case.

"Now setting that aside, I've seen some interesting thing in my days, but mermaids are a new one," Fury said.

"Yea right," Tye muttered.
"SHEILD once encountered a group, called the Secret; they were obsessed with underwater mythology. But they were extremely isolated, most of their bases were under water, though they all refused to touch water oddly enough, We'd gotten a hold of one of their files, but not even our smartest tech head or our most advanced technology could crack the code to get into their files. Few month later, they all disappeared off the face of the earth," Fury said, sensing that Tye spoke of the flash drive they had seen, but he didn't notice it was missing from the pile.

"Okay look, thanks for all the cool info and for the fun time, but we're still not gonna join SHEILD as agents," Alex said. She was taken aback by the info Fury just laid on her, but she needed to stay focused at the moment. Alex was already formulating a plan to make sure they could stay out of Nick Fury's radar of people to keep an eye on.

"This offer won't stay open forever, your powers could be a-" Tye cut him off.

"Our powers? I knew it," she scoffed.

"I'm not surprised, it's always the powers whenever someone finds out," Alex rolled her eyes.

"It's not like-" again he was cut off.

"We're not stupid Fury, that's all every single fucking adult on this planet wants. To be able to understand out powers and blah, blah, blah," Tye growled.

Fury sighed, "I understand. You want to stay behind the scenes, not making trouble but not fixing it either, just want to be alone. Fine. You can keep the watches, but these I'll be taking back."

Fury closed the case with the flash drives and put it back in the bag. He picked up both Alex's and Tye's bag of cases and disappeared. A few moments later, the sound of a car leaving their driveway filled Tye's room.

"That was horrible," Alex said and flopped down on her bed.

"Well, it wasn't a total waste," Tye smirked and pulled out the flash drive with the mermaid tail on it.

"Great, you got us mermaid answers and I got us leverage to be left alone," Alex replied and pulled out a flash drive from her pocket. She never put all the flash drives she picked up back into the box.

The flash drive was white with a brown stripe near the edge of it.

"What interesting things do you think could be on this?" Alex asked.

"Not sure, but we're going to find out soon enough."

"You got a computer?"

"No, the only one I have is full of viruses and shit, we're gonna have to go to your house unless we want everything to run really slowly then ruin the drive."

A few minutes later, they arrived at Alex's house. Lilith and her parents were home. They were delayed a few minutes because Alex had to argue with her mom that she wasn't hungry and didn't want the caviar they had bought before they came home.

"We're really not hungry," Alex said, "And besides, fish eggs are kinda gross."

Once they managed to get to Alex's room where her laptop was, and after closing the door and locking it in Lilith's face, they pulled out the two flash drives they acquired.

They grabbed Alex's computer and sat against the wall so that any nosy Avengers in the window couldn't see what they were doing and no one coming in the door could either.

They plugged the white and brown flash drive into Alex's computer. Surprisingly, there was no password lock on it, a box on the screen came up and said;

SHEILD BASES

Hellicarrier

India

China

USA

Russia

Canada

New Zealand

Mexico

Transylvania

Egypt

Iran

Iraq

The list of files of almost every country in the world, plus the Hellicarrier, was on file, in a random order. Alex clicked on the USA file.

SHEILD BASES USA

Califonia

New York

Utah

Idaho

Vermont

Nevada

Pennsylvania

Washington

Oregon

Montana

Ohio

Florida

Every single one of the Unites states was listed there. Alex moved the mouse over and clicked on the Florida file. Inside the file were three more files. Each was either a city, building or some coordinates that were somewhere in Florida. They were all SHEILD operated bases.

There was everything here. Which experiments were going on there, what the main function of the base was, even passcodes. There were very brief things about the functions that went on there. Just the names and a picture, though one picture could be pretty mind blowing.

And they're were passcodes to get into these places. In fact, there was a list of passcodes, previous passcodes, future passcodes and when the passcode to get into that base changes.

And there was all this for each SHEILD base in the entire world.

Alex had picked up the best flash drive to keep Fury away from them forever. If he ever bugged them or started following them, going near Mako, threatened to tell their secret to anyone… Alex and Tye wondered what would happen if the Media got ahold of this tiny little flash drive which apparently held a ton of information.

"Now onto the more important thing," Alex said, closing the files and pulled the white flash drive out of her computer.

Tye handed her the one with the mermaid tail and Alex plugged it into the laptop. The screen of the computer turned blue. For a moment, Alex thought the flash drive had just given her computer a virus or something. But then a box appeared on the screen.

YOU TWO ARE MERMAIDS, CORRECT?

YES NO

Fury said that there was a password that neither the smartest mind nor the most advanced systems in the world could crack. All Alex and Tye saw was a simple yes or no question. And this simple yes or no question stopped them dead in their tracks.

"…obsessed with underwater mythology… refused to touch water yet their bases were in water… secretive…" Tye thought about everything Fury had said about the Secret organization, then the pieces came together.

"Oh my gosh," Tye said in just above a whisper.

"Should I click yes?" Alex asked.

"Well, we've gotten this far, might as well," Tye replied.

Alex clicked the YES option. Another Box popped up.

THEN YOU CAN HELP ME, BECAUSE I REALLY NEED IT

And then, their screen took them into a whole new world.

~~~~~~~linebreak~~~~~~~~LINEBREAK~~~~~~~~~~~linebreak~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LINEBREAK~~~~~~~~~~

Tony looked at his island he had just bought.

That's right. Tony Stark had just bought Mako Island and had made it private property so no one could go on it… other than himself, whoever he let on it and Alex and Tye, unless they wanted to be heavily fined.

Alex was counting on him to make sure no one else found out about her secret, and that included keeping Mako Island off limits to other people.

"So, what are you going to do with it now that you've bought it?" Steve asked as he, Tony and the rest of the team minus Thor stood on Mako Island's beach.

"Let Alex decide. This is her place, kinda. Who knows, maybe she'll be the first teenager to get an island all to herself as a gift for her next birthday," Tony replied with a smirk.

"That would be a gift that would probably end up on the news," Bruce said.

"Maybe," Tony shrugged.

"I wonder what those two are up to now?" Clint asked looking across the water to the city.

Little did the Avengers know that Alex and Tye were having the strangest, yet very important computer chat session ever.

THEN YOU CAN HELP ME BECAUSE I REALLY NEED IT.

The page turned into what looked like a chat room.

PLEASE, WHAT ARE YOUR NAMES? Appeared on the screen.

Alex paused for a moment before replying -YOU FIRST. WHO ARE YOU?

CAUTIOUS. THAT'S SMART. VERY WELL THEN, MY NAME IS JESSICA, OR JESS , I AM A NARTRAL BORN MERMAID, 14 YEARS OLD AT THE MOMENT. NOW THAT YOU KNOW WHO I AM, I ASSURE YOU THAT YOUI CAN TRUST ME.

Alex smiled, at least they were talking to an adult. But they were also meeting a real natural born mermaid, somewhat. Tye nodded and Alex typed their reply.

(anything with a -– next to it is something Alex and Tye are typing, without it, is Jessica)

-THE TWO OF US HERE ARE MOON POOL MADE MERMAIDS. I'M ALEXSANDRA, CALL ME ALEX THOUGH, AND I GOT MY TAIL WHEN I WAS TEN. MY FRIEND HERE IS TYERESHA, BUT CALL HER TYE OR SHE WILL RIP HEADS OFF. SHE GOT HER TAIL AT AGE 11. WE'RE BOTH 14 AS WELL.

WOW, I'VE NEVER SPOKEN TO A MOON POOL MADE BEFORE. WHEN I WAS IN MY POD, WE WERE FORBIDDEN TO SPEAK TO ANY OUTSIDERS

-POD?

NARTAL BORN MERMAIDS STAY TOGETHER IN A POD. IT'S LIKE LAND PEOPLE COMMUNITIES. EACH POD STICKS AND MOVES TOGETHER, WE EACH HAVE OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL GOVERNMENT AND STUFF. THE POD I WAS IN FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS FORBIDDED GOING ONTO LAND OR SPEAK TO ANY OUTSIDERS.

-OH, THAT'S INTRESTING. WAIT, FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF YOUR LIFE? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE RECENT YEARS?

IN THE SECRET ORGAINIZATION, BUT THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT I NEED HELP AND IT AN EMERGENCY.

-ARE YOU HURT OR SOMETHING? TELL US EVERYTHING. Alex didn't know what made her respond so quickly.

IT'S A LONG STORY, BUT I'LL GIVE YOU THE BASICS AND FILL YOU IN SHOULD WE EVER MEET IN PERSON. BUT BASICALLY, I HAD TO LEAVE MY POD FOR REASONS, THEN A NEW POD PICKED ME UP. THIS POD WAS DIFFERENT. THEY WERE AN ORGIZATION THAT ACCTUALLY WENT ON LAND, SOMETHING FORBIDDEN TO ALL NATRAL BORNS, AND WATCHED EVERYTHING THAT WENT ON THE WORLD AND TRIED TO PREVENT SOME EXTRMEMLY BAD THINGS FROM HAPPEING. THEY CALLED THEMSELVES THE SECRET. BUT WE WENT UP AGAINST A POWERFUL ENEMY, AND I AM LITERALLY THE LAST ONE LEFT. WHEN THE BASE WHERE I'M AT WAS ATTACKED A FEW MONTHS AGO, THEY KILLED EVERYONE, I'M THE ONLY ONE LEFT. BUT NOT I'M ALSO TRAPPED INSIDE THE BASE. I HAVE PLEANTY OF FOOD AND WATER FOR SEVERAL MOR MONTHS. BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I CAN'T STAY HERE MUCH LONGER BECAUSE THE ENEMY IS STILL OUT THERE AND THEY ARE PLANNING SOMETHING HORRIBLE AND SINCE I'M THE LAST ONE OF THE SECRET LEFT,I HAVE TO STOP THEM. BUT I NEED SOMEONE TO GET ME OUT. I CAN TELL YOU MY LOCATION IF YOU CAN COME GET ME OR FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME SO I CAN STOP THEM.

-HAVE YOU JUST BEEN SITTING THERE WAITING FOR A MERMAID TO FIND THIS?

THE SECRET CREATED THE FLASHDRIVE TO COMMUNUICATE IN AN EMERGENCY. ITS MERMAID MAGIC MIXED WITH TECHNOLOGY SO ONE MERMAIDS CAN ACCESS IT. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER WAY OF COMMUNICATING. ALL BASE COMMUNCATIONS ARE DOWN, I'M ACCTUALLY TEXTING ON A CELL PHONE. THE FLASH DRIVE IS SOMEWHAT LIKE A 911 CALL, IT DOESN'T NEED SIGNAL TO CONNECT TO A SECRET ORGAIZATIONED ISSUED PHONE.

-BETTER THAN NOTHING. HERE, JUST HANG IN THERE, CAN YOU HANG ON FOR JUST A SECOND?

SURE.

"What the hell did we just get ourselves into?" Alex asked her friend.

"I'm not entirely sure," Tye replied, "Do you want to call in your Uncle?"

"No way, this is mermaid stuff. I don't know about you but I don't want to drag him into our world too much."

"Yea, but then what do we do? Do we go in and help her?"

"We can't just leave her trapped wherever she is. Let's just find out where she is first," Alex said, Tye nodded picked up the laptop and typed.

-JESSICA, WHERE ARE YOU, WE ARE COMING TO GET OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

There was a pause for a moment. Then Jessica's reply came up.

"Oh my god," Tye and Alex said at the same time.

THE NEW YORK CITY ABANDONED AQUARIUM, I'M NOT SURE OF IT'S CURRENT STATUS, BUT IT BEEN ABANDONED FOR YEARS. THE SECRET ORGAINZATION HAS BEEN USING IT FOR A BASE SINCE IT ORIGIALLY WENT OUT OF BUISNESS.

The old aquarium had been closed for an extremely long time. It's always been standing, but during the Battle of New York, it collapsed. Everyone assumed it was wreckage from the battle, but it was a bit random because it was well outside the fight zone.

-WHEN WAS THAT ATTACK ON THE AQUARIUM YOU TOLD US ABOUT? ABOUT HOW LONG DO YOU THINK YOU'VE BEEN IN THERE?"

FOUR, MAYBE FIVE MONTHS, WHY?

The Battle of New York was four or five months ago.

The Secret Organization's enemies had attacked the base and used the battle as a cover story for the wreckage.

-WE'L EXPLAIN WHEN WE MEET YOU. EXPECT TO SEE US WITHIN A FEW DAYS, MAYBE EVEN TOMORROW AT LEAST, WITHIN A WEEK AT MOST.

THANK YOU. GOODBYE FOR NOW, THE CONNECTION IS BEGINNING THE FAIL, THIS PHONE'S BETTERY IS DYING.

The screen went blank, they lost their connection to Jessica. The flash drive ejected itself from Alex's computer and her normal desktop appeared again.

Alex and Tye shared a concerned look. Then they began wondering just how they were going to do this, because tomorrow, they we're paying a visit to the old aquarium.

ALRIGHT, SO THERE'S THAT CHAPTER. AND GOT A NEW CHARATER PLUS MY BIG PLOT END GAME HAS JUST BEGUN. INTRESTING THINGS WILL BE COMING SOON. REVIEW PLEASE AND THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
