Hello everyone,

Well here is chapter 10, enjoy.

August 21st, 2010

Washington D.C.

It was just another operation, just another mission. For this mission Three had decided to stay at the secondary hideout in Washington. Namely it was just another day at work, and the target was one Erin Kovach a sick scientist that Pierce favoured. This doctor loved human experimentation and affecting the human mind. He loved tampering with the part of the mind that stores memory as well as trying to unlock hidden potential there. Needless to say Three and Aida were there to kill the scientist along with any HYDRA agents. However there was a slight problem: Pierce finally learned Three's weakness. After ten years the pattern emerged. He knew she never killed actual SHIELD agents, only ever HYDRA. It was complicating the missions in recent months. This mission there were three or four SHIELD agents in the mix. All part of a team that was to protect the sick doctor, who had been brought to Washington for his own protection. At least that is what they told the SHIELD agents, but in truth Pierce was bringing him in for another project. A chemical formula that completely wipes clean a person's mind, erasing all memories and leaving a mindless person that only followed orders. Most likely Pierce intended to use this chemical on unsuspecting SHIELD agents.

Currently Three was at the Washington hideout looking over the list of the security personnel and using the algorithm to determine friend from foe. A moment later she got the list.

Agent Tomas Norric- HYDRA

Agent Nora Nelson- HYDRA

Agent Phil Coulson- SHIELD

Agent Myra Bicks-HYDRA

Agent Sharon Carter-SHIELD

Agent Leonard Stanton-HYDRA

Agent Caroline Monroe- SHIELD

Agent Andrew Cableon- HYDRA

"Quit the list for a protection detail." Aida said as Three memorised the pictures, names, and affiliations.

"Alright so we got three SHIELD agents five HYDRA. Pierce is getting smart." Three said leaning back in her chair.

"Indeed getting into the system is proving harder to do, but I believe I have found a way to remain in the system undetected. However it slows down the speed in which more secure files can be hacked."

"Well more and more we see technology getting better and more sophisticated. We are bound to have to adjust in order to continue." Three said trying to figure out how to not permanently harm the SHIELD agents.

"And how are we going to adjust to SHIELD agents in play on missions? Pierce is adding them more and more to HYDRA teams."

"Well as you mentioned we have had SHIELD agents in play before, we just work around them as usual." Three replied, "Besides there are only three of them, how much trouble could they be?"

Hours later at a safe house on the outskirts of Washington, Three spied through the scope on her sniper rifle. On the grounds was four of the eight man protection detail, it would have been easy to start sniping but with it being dark she did not want to risk shooting the wrong agents. Also shooting them would make her presence known to the rest of the security detail and as they might have an exit strategy planned, stealth and silence was needed.

"There are also proximity sensors to alert if anyone approaches." Aida added via the ear piece Three was wearing.

"Great so they will know we are here before we even set foot near the house." Three added thinking.

"Perhaps the sensors could be used to our advantage. I could cause a fault in the sensor on the far side of the house and completely disable the one you would walk through. However you will have to hurry and get inside without alerting any of the security detail."

"At least until I reach Kovach." Three sighed, "Alright do it." A moment later a sensor tripped on the far side of the house and Three was running as she jumped the well manicured bushes and was moving fast. Two of the guards went to investigate the tripped sensor, but the other two kept to their patrol patterns to try and keep the place more secure. Fortunately the closest guard did not see her yet, but he would and so she quickly knocked him. This one was Agent Stanton a HYDRA agent, so she slit his throat rather than have to deal with him again.

Next she rushed to the side of the house's many rooms and took off the screen. Using one of her wrist blades she broke the latch as quietly as possible and opened the window. Climbing in she closed it behind her and was glad the room was empty. Ahead she crept to the hallway and slipped into the hall. "Aida I need heat signatures." Three whispered.

"Alright you have one in the hall at the end of the corridor, most likely another agent. There are two in the kitchen. You can get by them if you're quiet. Lastly another in the corridor upstairs and another in the master bedroom."

"Money is on Kovach being in the master bedroom." Three replied as she moved to the edge of the hall. This one was another HYDRA agent Nelson who was checking rooms in a sweep and coming towards Kat. Waiting until the agent was at the last door, Three sweep around and thrust the blade into the agents throat before dumping the body in the room she had been about to check. Moving to the end of the hall, Three stepped into a comfy living room and could hear voices on the other side of the stair well. Creeping towards the base of the stairs she heard a man's voice as he replied to another man on his radio.

"You sure the sensor trip was nothing?"

"Yes there is nothing out here." A man on the crackling radio said.

"Alright, if you are certain. Keep your guard up though." Peeking over Three recognized the guy in a suit as Coulson who set down his radio to resume talking to a blonde who sat in a stool with her back to Three. The blonde sighed.

"You are not going to let this go are you?" The blonde asked.

"It is just I am a big fan of hers, so if you are related."

"Alright yes I am related to Peggy Carter. I am her niece." So the blonde with her back to Three must be Sharon Carter.

"I knew it." Coulson said grinning a little. 'Okay that is the fifth time that woman's name has come up. I seriously need look into her.' Three thought before creeping up the stairs as the two continued their chat. Upstairs was a bit more tricky as Three spied the other agent down the hall from the top of the steps obviously guarding Kovach's room. Still she was close enough to hear the conversation downstairs. This man, Agent Cableon of HYDRA, however he would spot her long before she reached him. Sighing she knew this might make some noise, but she could not sit there all night. Pulling one of her boot daggers she took a deep breath.

Rushing around the corner she threw the blade with pinpoint accuracy as it went into the man's head. Continuing to rush forward, Three caught the heavy man and tried to lower him to the ground quietly. However the man was heavy as hell! Pulling her blade free she cleaned it off and wasted no time as she entered the master bedroom. Kovach must have heard her for she was shoved against the door by a heavy round man holding a syringe aimed at her. "Pierce said you might show. He said he would pay me extra if I brought him your corpse!"

The needle was getting closer and it became a battle of strength, but at the last moment Three twisted her wrist so the wrist dagger cut his hand and took off a couple of fingers with it. Kovach was screaming now and Three yanked the needle from him. "I hate needles, but since you love them so damn much—here!"

With that Three jammed the syringe into him, emptying the horrible chemical contents into his bloodstream. She would have loved to watch him have a taste of his own medicine, but the scream would have been heard. Already she heard the running of footsteps as Coulson and Carter raced upstairs and she could hear Coulson on the radio. "We have a fox in the hen house. Repeat a fox is in the hen house!"

"Shit!" Three thought as Kovach was reduced to a blubbering fool writhing in agony thanks to his own formula. She could hear them cautiously nearing the door and decided hiding would be best. The door swung open and in came Coulson cautiously looking around – gun trained for anything. Luckily the room was dark as Aida cut electricity, making Coulson pause. Sighing she knew she would have to knock out the SHIELD agents. Rushing forward Three kicked the gun out of Coulson's hands surprising him. The man though was a trained agent and immediately took to fighting hand-to-hand.

There was a lull in the combat as Sharon could not take the shot, but now that Coulson's eyes were adjusted he just had to ask. "What are you suppose to be? A ninja?"

Three bit back a retort as she attacked him again, but she had underestimated both SHIELD agents. While Coulson fought her, Sharon pulled the still blubbering doctor from the room shoving him into the hallway. Standing in the doorway she tried to take aim at Three, but was too close to Coulson. For his age Coulson sure could fight well as Three dodged another kick. She needed to end this fast before more agents arrived, catching Coulson's arm when he went to punch her she moved aside taking his arm with her, her elbow came back hitting Coulson in the back of the head and sending him into the wall.

"Coulson!" Carter yelled concerned, Three knew Sharon would take aim and shoot so she jumped behind the chair in the room. Still though a bullet hit, pain blossomed in her side and knocked the wind out of her. For a second Three was stunned, but at least her suit kept the bullet out. Still she knew a bruise would come on later and did not want to be shot again. She heard Sharon coming closer and nudging her to make sure she was down. She heard Coulson groan by the wall and peeked through her lashes to see Sharon looking his way. "Coulson are you okay?"

Here was her chance, a swift kick sent Sharon to the floor as Three jumped to her feet. Already Sharon was taking aim and so Three caught her wrist as a shot was fired but only hit the wall. The agent was refusing to release the gun, leaving Three with only one option. With a sharp twist there was a nasty pop and Sharon cried out. The gun finally fell and Three caught it. Using the handle she knocked Sharon out, then looked back at Coulson struggling to get up and help Sharon. Rushing forward she brought her knee to Coulson's head knocking him out before he could cause her further trouble.

"I am sorry." Three sighed as she dropped a calling card as she left the room and entered the hall. Running for the edge of the hall, Three got to the stairs. Jumping over the banister she was pushed immediately into another fight with the agents from outside. Two HYDRA one SHIELD, hardly a fair fight but after having done so many of these missions; Three was used to uneven odds. It took her a moment to locate the SHIELD agent, first as she wanted to knock her out first. The SHIELD agent rushed her and Three dodged delivering a blow that knocked her clean out.

However in knocking out the last SHIELD agent she left herself open as Agent Norric now aimed a gun at her head. There was a bang, but not from Norric's gun and then both looked down stunned to find a bullet hole in his chest. A second later he fell to the ground dead, shot by Agent Bicks. The blonde agent looked tearful and shaken as she lowered the gun and looked at Three. "Please help me."

"Please help me." The words repeated and floored Three shocking her completely. Wasn't Agent Myra Bicks with HYDRA? Why did she shoot one of her own? And why in hell was she asking for Three's help?! Inside a battle raged every instinct saying kill her, and that she is HYDRA. She deserves no help at all. However the tears and her pleading were genuine and she had yet to raise the gun and shoot her. It was all very confusing, but soon the SHIELD agents would wake up so sticking around was not an option. Against her better judgement Three nodded.

"You want help then come on!" Three said leaving the safe house quickly. Myra had put her gun away and followed. The two left via the way Three came in a hurry knowing reinforcements would be coming soon. Getting to the car Three opened the trunk to get her civilian clothes out and tossed them in the back seat. "Get in the back and get changed while I drive. Toss EVERYTHING you are wearing out the window! I don't care how much you value it, it all goes or you do!"

Getting in the driver's seat, Three started the engine as Myra got in the back. The agent did exactly as she was told and rolled down the window chucking her SHIELD gear and everything out. Once she was changed, discreetly Three pulled out a knockout dart. Thus when Myra least expected it, she got jabbed with it and fell back on the back seat.

"I cannot believe I am doing this!" Three said aloud.

"Neither can I." Aida admitted.

"You know some input back there would have been nice." Three pointed out as she drove.

"I was giving input by trying to delay response time for reinforcements."

"Oh, okay. So what should I do?" Three asked warily.

"Well her desire for help seems genuine."

"Yeah I bet she could do great in acting." Three grumbled annoyed. They got back to the hide out with Aida scanning repeatedly for trackers on the unconscious Myra. In all honesty Three could still not figure out why she was allowing this HYDRA agent to live, but every time she wanted to pull her gun and shoot the woman something stopped her. Eventually she heard Myra groan as the woman awoke and stumbled out of the car.

"What? What did you do to me?" Myra asked confused.

"I knocked you out for the ride so that you would not know where we are." Three said arms folded across her chest giving a shrug. As a precaution she kept her suit on. "Now you had better tell me why exactly you want my help and make it believable because if not you will die."

Three had Myra sit down and made some coffee to help liven her up for talking. With a hot mug, Myra began. "I thought HYDRA was right, my father served them before I served them. But we were wrong, I was sent with a team to Bucharest, simple extraction op; but the next thing I know is I cannot remember a thing. Instead I vaguely remember the flight back and our 'mission' being reported a success." Myra paused and took a drink of her coffee. "Months later I start having these vivid dreams that seem so real. Standard SHIELD protocol has me seeing a shrink, but all he does is give me pills. At first I take them thinking it is going to be okay, but then I notice that none of my team can recall anything from Bucharest. What is even worse is they don't want to. They want to live in this fantasy and ignore what happened. So I stop taking the pills and the dreams come back harder and more vivid."

Myra takes a longer drink of her coffee to help calm her nerves. "The dreams are memories. Kovach is there and we were sent to extract him. But instead he has some men grab us, and we are dragged off to some hidden underground lab. Where he begins testing his chemicals on us. Standard SHIELD protocol after 24 hours is that a rescue op. is to be staged and executed. We were there three days."

"Your pals in HYDRA just left you guys to rot?" Three asked sceptically.

"Yes, and now after those chemicals I found out I cannot have children. Kovach's chemicals have made me sterile. I know that it may seem like no big loss, a HYDRA agent having children; but I had hoped someday to, now I can't. All because HYDRA betrayed us. After that I played it normal volunteering for this op. Knowing either you would come to finish him off, or I would."

"Well Kovach is useless now. He was injected with his own chemicals and is a gibbering idiot that will die terribly now. So what more do you want?"

"I want out. After HYDRA betrayed us, I do not want to go back." Myra said, hoping Three would help her in the end.

After that Three sent Myra upstairs to shower, change, and rest. Once Myra was on the second floor Aida locked the second floor up so that Myra was stuck there, and Three turned to the computers where Aida was centred. Pulling off her hood and her mask down she sighed. "Alright thoughts?"

"The mission was a success. Kovach is deteriorating fast. According to SHIELD communications his mind is already gone. Pierce must be fuming." Aida said.

"Yes, but thoughts on this new complication?" Three asked, when Aida did not respond she supplied additional information. "Myra Bicks the HYDRA agent upstairs."

"I believe she is telling the truth."

"I am sensing an impending 'but' in there." Three said.

"But she is HYDRA. In all honesty with all the crimes HYDRA has committed to you especially I find it hard to want to show mercy to one." Aida said, and Three could easily understand the logic there, "But I also know that many people believe in mercy and that anyone can be redeemed."

"The greatest act a hero can perform is to forgive an enemy." Three sighed remembering Amaya's words to her.

"Who said that?"

"Amaya, trying to make me a better person." Three stood there thinking on what she should do.

"I know that this choice is difficult, and I will understand no matter your choice and help however I can. If you feel it is too dangerous or that she does not deserve help, then end it now. However if there is even a shadow of a doubt in your mind I ask that you not kill her, because I know you will regret it." Aida said. It would have been easy to kill Myra and dump her body, then move onto the next mission. However there was doubt, and Three sighed hating that she was softening up.

"Alright, we will help her. However if we find she is still in league with HYDRA she is a dead woman!" Three said, "For now it has been a long day. Keep the building in lock down mode allowing me free reign, but keep Myra locked on the second floor. I do not want her wondering about."

"Understood." Aida said calmly as Three put her mask back on and headed for the third floor and her room. It was a precaution since Three would be passing through the second floor. Tomorrow they would figure this mess out. Tonight though she was sore Coulson and Carter proved to be a lot more trouble and she had the bruises to prove it.

August 22nd, 2010

Washington D.C.

SHIELD Safe House

It was one big mess, Sharon sat on a stool at the counter in the kitchen where hours before Coulson had been swooning over the fact that she was related to one of his heroes Peggy Carter. Sharon sighed as a medic was tending to her broken wrist. 'I bet my Aunt never failed on a mission, not like this.' She peeked over at Coulson who was also being tended to for a head injury. Both were rather quiet as they saw Norric being zipped up in a body bag. To her left Agent Caroline Monroe was being checked for a concussion, in truth all three of them were a mess. However they were alive the same could not be said for the rest of their team. Four agents dead, and one missing; not to mention Kovach the doctor they were assigned to protect was now in critical condition and not expected to survive the night.

Agents were all around tagging evidence and bagging the bodies, but what Sharon dreaded was having to face Director Fury and explain how terribly they had failed. Sure enough more cars pulling up outside heralding his arrival, and Sharon sighed. Looking again to Coulson she felt especially bad for him, rarely did Coulson fail and being highly regarded by Fury must have meant failure was not something he liked to report. Then the one-eyed, trench coat wearing director was standing in front of them in the flesh.

Fury was taking in the fact that all three of them had injuries and sighed with his hands on his hips. Coulson spoke first. "Sir I take full responsibility-"

"Coulson just tell me what happened." Fury said not wanting to blame anyone for this.

"We were attacked by some... ninja." Coulson said knowing how stupid it sounded. "She left a calling card of a cat's eye." Fury sighed at the description.

"Her again." Fury said.

"Sir?" Monroe asked wanting to know who attacked them.

"She has been designated as: Katseye." Fury said, the name rang bells alright, though Sharon never expected to actually face her. To anyone that heard of her she was a psychopath that 'attacks at random and kills equally at random'. Normally agents do not survive her, on a previous assault she had killed all but one agent. "I believe you all have heard of her. For the better part of a decade she has made SHIELD's life a living hell. You three are lucky to be alive."

"Sir why did she leave us alive?" Sharon asked.

"No idea, she is obviously unstable at best." Fury said, "We've had nine plus years to build a profile on her, but our best psychologists that study the profile say they cannot figure her out."

"Permission to go after her." Coulson said.

"Denied!You are being reassigned." Fury boomed. Already Coulson and Monroe were protesting the decision to pull them, but Sharon knew better then to argue with the director. "That is final! Coulson you need to head for New York to babysit Tony Stark. Ever since he thinks he is dying he has become a drama queen. Sharon since you were injured worse you are on desk duty until you make a full recovery. Monroe-"

"Sir what if it isn't random?" Monroe said gaining Fury's attention, usually the director did not like being interrupted; but this time he would hear her out.

"Alright Monroe explain."

"Sir just before we engaged her it was like she was looking for specific people. Then she attacked me, as if to get me out of the way. What if she is attacking certain agents? I don't know why she does it, but I don't think it is random." Carter had to admit it did seem targeted not random at all, she and Coulson put up a good fight. Hell, she had shot Katseye, but the psychopath left her and Coulson alive? Why? It did not make sense.

"Don't be absurd. Katseye is a nut-job." Another voice added.

"Agent Corvic if I want your input I will ask." Fury said then turned back to Monroe.

"She has a point sir. I shot Katseye, Coulson and I both fought her. It was like she was holding back." Sharon added. "You would think since I shot her, I would be in a body bag too." Now Fury was thinking about this new information.

"Alright if the doctors clear you, Monroe; as having no concussion. Then you're free to pursue this, otherwise you are on desk duty with Carter."

"Thank you Sir." With that Fury left and Coulson slumped in his chair. The feeling that they disappointed Fury did not go away. But at least Monroe was free to hunt Katseye down.

"Thanks Carter for siding with me on this." Monroe said, Sharon smiled faintly knowing Monroe could handle this assignment. However now Sharon looked at a disheartened Phil Coulson.

"Look at it this way Phil it could be worse. You could be stuck doing paperwork with me." Sharon said.

"I would take paperwork over this assignment. Stark is a pain in the ass."

Three awoke with a groan as she had turned wrong on her bed, she had a nasty bruise from the gun shot and knew it would be there a good four to six days. The other bruises would heal in a mere couple of days. However there was no rest for the wicked, she was certainly not about to trust Bicks any. More than that she wanted the HYDRA agent out of her home, and hated the idea of having to suit up and hide her identity when she was on the second floor. Thus Three could not get back to sleep no matter how much she wished to. Finally she got up, showered, and dressed, then went down to the ground floor to work. She made some coffee and grabbed a cereal bar from the box by the coffee maker.

"Morning Aida." Three said as she came to the computers with coffee in one hand and a cereal bar in the other.

"Morning Kat. I take it because of our guest you have resorted to cereal bars instead of a healthy well balanced breakfast."

"You guess right." Three said as she took a bite, "We will need to begin construction of fake identification as well as do some shopping." Three already knew what she needed hair colouring to permanently change Myra's hair, and eye colour contacts. Also some passport photos of her once the alterations have been made.

"Creating a new identity for our guest will be needed, however may I point something out?" Aida asked seeing a flaw.

"Go ahead." Three said taking a sip of her coffee.

"Myra is still in SHIELDs data banks, and only declared missing not dead. A new identity is all well and good, but SHIELD will still look for her." 'Shit! I hate it when Aida uses logic on me!'

"So what you are saying is we need to erase her data from SHIELD and fake her death." Three said setting her coffee down. This damn HYDRA agent was proving to be more trouble than she was worth.

"Unfortunately erasing her data file will require a direct interface with SHIELD's computers inside the Triskelion." Three groaned at the thought of infiltrating one of the most secure buildings in the world aside from the White House. "On the upside direct interface will allow me to enter the data stream allowing me undetected access and file knowledge. We would be in their systems and they would not know it."

Now Three was severely tempted by the idea. They would never have to hack into the system because they would be hidden inside it. Granted restricted files of high priority would still take hours to access without detection; but they would not have to ever worry about less restricted files. The knowledge they could gain, the tabs they could keep on HYDRA agents. It would be risky, but oh so worth it.

The problem was how to get in without being caught, and get back out. First thing was first they needed a way to implement the programming. This could easily be done via a computer fob in the USB port. The program would self activate and upload itself, together they worked on this. Finally Three leaned back to talk about what they had just created. "Alright so when plugged in. The fob releases the program that will delete Myra's file without detection, but also implement a ghost program into SHIELDs systems giving us user access. Now user access only grants us the access of an agent. It does not give us clearance for high priority files. We want access to those we have to create ghost access codes and fake clearances which give us access."

"Indeed." Aida said, "Now to just gain access to the security hub inside the Triskelion."

"Which I doubt they will just let us walk in, and put a pen drive into their USB port. We need an in and an out." Three said thinking and trying to figure out how to get in unnoticed and then back out. Aida went on to explain the security for the Triskelion in detail stating it used state of the art facial recognition software, body scans, voice recognition, and retina scans. "The place is built better than Fort Knox!"

"Indeed." Aida said almost sounding like she admired it.

"How about structurally? Any place we could sneak in?" Three asked.

"Unfortunately no," Aida brought up an image of the Triskelion from aerial view. "The Triskelion is built on the Theodore Roosevelt Island an impregnable fortress in itself. All around it the Potomac River."

"Great so in other words no." Three said annoyed.

"However...I think I found a way." Aida said after a moment, "We trick their systems."

"Really? How so?" Three asked.

"Most of the new security protocols have been created by Stark Industries. If we were to appear to be hacking their systems and causing systems to become corrupted SHIELD would have to call in one of the technicians from Stark Industries to clear up the mess. Giving us access to the main hub to 'purge' us from the system." Aida said.

"Oh you little minx, that is brilliant! It is easier to create the right documentation claiming that I am a Stark technician and thus being invited right into the Triskelion. I love it!" Three said.

August 25th, 2010

Washington D.C.

The Triskelion

It had taken a few days to prepare, but Aida had started hacking their systems and causing trouble until they called for a technician from Stark Industries. Three intercepted the technician on the outskirts of Washington at a gas station. Knocking him out with some chloroform then dumping him at a motel where she gave him an injection to keep him under for twelve hours. She burrowed his uniform and and used his IDs as the blueprint for creating her own.

Now here she stood in the Stark technician outfit, brown wig with the hair tied back and glasses to match her fake photo. She came up carrying the technician's equipment to the front desk. "Name?"

"Leslie Sanders, I am from Stark Industries. You called about technical problems?" The guard was checking his computer and nodded.

"Yeah, you are expected." He said getting her a security badge, then she was through. So far so good. However she stiffened as a bald man with glasses came forward. She forced a smile onto her face as the guard said. "This is Agent Sitwell, he will escort you to the hub."

"Hello." Sitwell said, "You are here to fix our problem."

"That is what Mr. Stark pays me for. Or I really should say Miss Potts now that she has taken over." Leslie said being polite.

"I bet some employees are envious of that." Sitwell said as they walked.

"Yeah some but not me. She is a nice woman. I think she will make a great boss." Leslie said.

"So is it true?" Sitwell asked.

"Is what true?"

"That Tony Stark you know flirts and tries sleeping with every female employee he hires?" Sitwell asked, and Leslie burst out laughing.

"No I mean look at me. Tony Stark goes for the super models, besides no ill will meant towards my boss but I would be worried about catching something." The last was whispered to Sitwell who laughed as he took her onto the elevator and down to the sub level where the main computer hub was located.

"Here we are," Sitwell stated and Leslie nodded as though she recognised the computer hub.

Setting the equipment on the desk she noted a few other agents working, but all of them only smiled and nodded at her before going back to work. "Alright let's see what we got."

Sitting down she began typing, a simple system code into the computer to check the mainframe. It was the subtle way of telling Aida she was there. Immediately a window opened with a warning for grid integrity. "Ah here's the little monster causing you trouble. Wow! This one has done a number on you guys! Looks like a teenagers computer after looking up too much porn."

Turning back to Sitwell she did not expect to see the man next to her. "Can you fix it?" Fury asked.

"Yes, but first I need to know if remote access is granted to any other locations in the building because it looks like someone might have come in and uploaded the hacker directly." Three said with a serious look. Secretly though she loved the confused look on Fury's face.

"How can you upload a hacker?" Sitwell asked not sure how that could work.

"Easily. If remote access is granted to other employees, the employee might have unwittingly allowed in the hacker. This is done by an execution protocol. It is why Stark firmly discourages employees taking their work home with them then bringing it back the next day." Three paused then sighed at their blank looks. "Alright, example. One of your agents does work at home like a report on something. They type it out at home where security is minimal. The hacker could send an e-mail that the agent opens and bam! The hacker now has full access to the agents computer including items such as reports or even simple USB cards. The agent will never know because the hacker simply uploads its...I guess you could call it a virus onto the USB card. The agent then takes this card, comes here, and plugs it in. BAM The hacker now has access via that window and can infiltrate the systems. So does anyone have remote access?"

"A number of our high ranking agents and executives have remote access from their offices." Fury said.

"Ah okay, well you will need to shut those down, and disconnect them from the main system hub first. If I try to fix the hack, I might get him or her, but they will simply be able to re-enter the systems. I am sorry but the drive down sucked and I nearly got into an accident. In short I would prefer to do my job, and do it right the first time rather repeatedly come to fight your hacker. While you shut down the office computers I will try to isolate the hacker." Three said going full nerd on them to play her role well.

"Alright." Fury said and thus the two men went to shut down the systems leaving Three there alone. However she knew she was being watched by the security cameras, so she pretended to be doing her job typing into a series of numbers and letter into an window which let Aida know she was ready for the cameras to be taken temporarily off line. A moment later a response code was given telling her the cameras were off line and so she discreetly plugged in the drive. She peeked back to make sure no one was behind her as the protocols uploaded quickly. It reached a hundred percent as the elevator dinged and she took the fob out hiding it amidst her equipment.

Stepping off Fury returned watching her closely with his good eye. "Damn it!" Leslie growled annoyed.

"Problem?"

"Yeah this hacker is a pain in the ass!" Leslie said as she typed more into the computer, "I think he or she may be disrupting security, not sure what systems. Smart ass." A moment later Fury's radio crackled with Sitwell's voice.

"Sir remote access is offline."

"Good." Fury replied, Three turned to look at Fury who nodded she could purge the hacker. Which she made a show of doing with some difficulty.

"Ha! Got you!" Three replied as she typed out further commands and soon full control was back. She spun around in the chair smiling. "Alright the hacker is purged, but I still need to check for any Easter eggs he or she might have left. Full system and diagnostic scans complete with a side of please do not do this again."

"We will try to refrain from calling Stark again over the issue." Fury said as Three had the computer do the scans and plugged in the diagnostics machine she had brought to check the computer. It all took about ten minutes and cleared the system claiming no one was in there.

"Alright you are cleared, please ask your employees to keep work at work. All work and no play make for boring agents." Three said as she handed the paperwork to Fury to sign stating the repairs were done. The director seemed annoyed by her, but signed wanting her out of the building asap. Packing up her equipment she hoisted it onto her shoulder and was escorted out by Sitwell. Who took her back to the desk.

"Thank you for your assistance."

"Heh no prob. Got me out of Stark tower for a bit." Three shrugged as she signed out at the desk and handed back the security badge.

"I think Director Fury was impressed." Sitwell commented, as he was testing her to see if she knew the guy or not. Especially since he had never introduced himself down in the hub.

"Holy cow that was who that was?!" Three asked shocked, "Berry my co-worker claims to have seen him, I had never met him though. Wow! Berry was right he can be scary." Sitwell smiled as she had passed the little test provided. "Well tell Fury I am glad I could help. Don't hesitate to call if you run into trouble again."

Saying goodbye Three walked away casually as ever, but inside being around SHIELD and HYDRA agents sent her nerves in all directions. She was glad when she got outside and into the car she burrowed from the Stark technician. She was able to breath easier as she put distance between herself and the Triskelion. As a precaution she returned to the motel and the still unconscious technician. She changed clothes careful not leave any clues and left through the window balcony. Getting to three rooms down she climbed into the vacant room and left from there before climbing into her own car and driving away.

It might have seemed like paranoia, but if anything was even slightly off SHIELD may have followed her to ascertain if she was who she said she was. Even still she drove to several locations checking her tail before coming home and driving into the garage where she was scanned for trackers. "How did it go Aida?"

"Perfectly, I think Fury was distracted. The computer logs suggest he has had a lot of grief from Tony Stark. Either way we are now in the system undetected and Myra's file is gone."

"Do you think they will realize that they were duped?"

"Eventually, perhaps."

Washington D.C.

The Triskelion

Fury was beyond furious with himself as he found out that not only was the Stark technician not sent by Stark, but that he had been blind-sided by her technical garbage enough to slip up. The recordings of her in the Triskelion were deleted, and even fingerprint and identification software came up empty on who she was. She had no file! He had been so preoccupied with Stark being a drama queen that he let a security threat into the most secure location aside from the White house. What was worse was he now had a situation brewing in New Mexico with an 0-8-4 or Object of Unknown Origin. He had to pull Coulson from watching Stark to go investigate it, who reported it looked like a hammer embedded in rock. It all left him with a massive headache as he grumbled at the message on his screen saying footage deleted. "What is your end game?"

"Sir?" He had not heard Agent Monroe enter, but he had summoned her.

"We had a security leak today, and I let her in and out without a thought."

"Katseye, sir?" Monroe asked

"I think so, she has no file no IDs no nothing! She is a ghost."

"What did she get Sir?" Monroe asked.

"Not a clue, the systems are all acting normally, but there had to have been a reason for her visit. I am having the hub scrubbed for bugs now, but so far nothing."

"It does not make any sense sir. Why do all this? Why go after Kovach, kidnap Bicks, and sneak in to 'make repairs'?" The two thought for a moment then Fury sighed shaking his head.

"I don't know, but I am putting you in charge of the Strike team. Find her before she does any further damage." Fury said.

"Sir Agent Corvic of the Strike team might not like my assuming command." Monroe said not liking having to work with him.

"Well he will have to deal with it. You seem to have a better sense of this Katseye, so you are in charge. Find her Monroe." Fury said firmly.

"Yes sir." Monroe said before turning and leaving his office.

Later that evening Three bought the hair colouring, colour contacts, and some new clothes for Myra. From there she created a 'survival pack' giving her items Three herself created. One she called a flash wand. It was used to short out cameras for two minutes, and the other a ATM Skeleton card which when inserted overruled controls to where all you had to do was enter the desired amount and the ATM would fork out the cash. Both items used together meant Myra would be able to draw out money without being seen. The other item was an open network phone, also created by Three or at least the chip was. It piggy backed networks so that Myra would never have to pay usage charges, but also meant she could not be traced either.

Finally they were down to the last obstacle—faking Myra's death. They would have to make it believable otherwise Myra would have to learn to run for the rest of her life. This was going to be tricky and hard to pull off. For her it took jumping off a bridge and falling to her near death to escape. Myra needed something just as dramatic, but without the risk of actual death. For the next couple of days that became her focus as she went over various plans and ideas for how to perform a fake death.

Eventually she had an idea after scouting potential locations to stage a fake death, but Myra would not like it at all.

Author's Notes:

Alright first off thank you so much for your lovely reviews. I really appreciate it. I am also glad no one is upset over the same name issue I mentioned in the previous Author's Notes. I was worried it would be a issue.

Mcveighreece, you mentioned that you hope it takes a while for Three to trust SHIELD. Don't worry it will take some time. Mainly Three has come to the realization that not all of SHIELD is HYDRA so she mainly tries to knock out SHIELD agents she encounters. You could say it is Amaya still influencing Three, not to mention Peggy is that proof that SHIELD is a force for good. For Three it is like she is trying to remove a cancer or infestation without killing off the main body. She wants to destroy HYDRA, but not become a monster in the process. Thus she has this code. However trusting SHIELD with HYDRA still infecting them would be a fatal mistake one Three is not willing to make.

Lonesome Road, You mentioned hoping to a small degree that she is Tony's daughter. While I do not want to spoil future details and it is fun to imagine the possibilities for this story. I have most of the story written out so I already know who her parents are. However I cannot say, so I'll let you continue to hope... for now.

As for the story this particular chapter is set around one of the MCU movies, I won't say which one but I think you all know which one it is. Also Three has her first encounter with not just one but two SHIELD agents!

Some things to note was the brief sections written from Sharon and Fury's perspectives. I wanted to show how SHIELD was reacting to this character and her actions. Obviously SHIELD has no clue about HYDRA yet, so we have this view that Katseye is a psychopath. Mostly the focus will always be on Three, but at times there will be these brief reactions from other characters to show how her interactions in the MCU is being noticed.

Aside from that what do you think of this chapter? Or certain characters like Aida or this HYDRA agent named Myra? Please let me know in the reviews.
