Chapter 10: The Chase
AN: Well here's the next chapter! You won't be hearing from me for a while so I wanted to give you all something before I left! Enjoy!
Clint and Natasha ran onto the bridge. They had overheard that their daughter was alive and working for the Renegade. They walked up to Fury. He turned.
"Is it true that you found her?" Natasha asked. Fury nodded.
"It was confirmed on the last mission where Rogers and Skye went missing. Clint and Natasha furrow their eyebrows.
"Missing?" Clint spoke up. Fury nodded again.
"We can't seem to get a hold of them. But I wouldn't worry too much. The only reason they couldn't be responding is they're probably going after her." Clint shakes his head.
"That's unlike Cap. He would have called it in first." Clint said. Fury shrugged.
"He probably has his reasons. I bet Skye had something to do with that." Clint smirked.
"Probably."
"So, when did all this start?" Natasha said impatiently. They had been on an undercover mission sense the Dark Rider incidents started. They had no idea how much trouble Alex had caused. Fury sighed. Pushing something on one of the screens; the walls began to come down.
"We have a lot to discuss." Was all he said.
An hour later…
"Why would she do this?" Natasha said just above a whisper. Fury had filled them in on everything that had happened sense they were gone. They were currently sitting in their dorm room on the Helicarrier.
"She might have her reasons." Clint said quietly to her. "At least she's alive." He pointed out. Natasha nodded.
"Agent Romanoff, Agent Barton. We've found Rogers' and Skye's location." An agent said, walking in the room. They nod and head off to the bridge.

*BONUS SCENE
Alex galloped Storm up to base 2J. She was really hoping that Cap and Skye didn't follow her. If they did, the other Renegade officers wouldn't take too kindly to SHIELD agents showing up on their door step.
Alex slowed Storm to a stop and dismounted. Bobby ran out of the building and up to them.
"Where have you been?!" He asked in a relieved tone. Alex rolled her eyes, but soon went back to being serious.
"Some old friends of mine might be heading this way, and don't want them getting killed." Alex made clear. Bobby nodded.
"So the mission was a failure?"
"Yeaaah….." Alex said slowly. Bobby nodded.
"Alright, I have something to tell you." Bobby said cautiously. Alex raised an eyebrow. "The Renegade and Hydra are working against you, sort of-ish." Bobby said. Alex choked on the breath she was taking in. She turned to him.
"What?!" She raised her voice. Bobby held up his hands, as to tell her to quiet down.
"You need to keep this quiet, but I overheard a conversation between Morgan and a Hydra officer. They were deciding what to do with you when they were done. And by the looks of it, that doesn't include keeping you alive…" Bobby said. Alex put her hands threw her hair.
"But!-what-, why!?" Alex stuttered on her words. Bobby put a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry but, it looks like you should have stayed with your friends." He said. Alex's head shot up, she shook it frantically.
"No, no, no, no, no, no. I can't go back! They would never forgive me!" Alex looked scared and confused. "And after everything I told them, they probably wouldn't want me!" Bobby shook his head in disagreement.
"If these friends of yours are like you say they are, then I know they would most certainly let you come back." Bobby said. Alex smiled, shrugging her shoulders sarcastically.
"Easier said than done." Bobby sighed and walked over to Storm; taking the reins from Alex's hand.
"Let's talk somewhere more private." He led Storm toward the training ground/stable. Alex sighed and jogged over to keep up.
AVENGERS
"Did they say exactly what they wanted to do with me?" Alex asked. Bobby shrugged.
"'Well, my guess would be they would kill you." Bobby said. Alex turned to him. "Sorry, but it seems like the most realistic answer." Alex reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"When?" Was all Alex asked.
"They said within the week, so in the next two days." Alex sighed and nodded. She sarcastically laughed.
"And here I thought I was on the right side!" She said, placing a hand on her head. "What am I going to do?" Bobby walked up and hugged her. Alex didn't feel like being shocked so she accepted the hug.
"You'll be fine, we'll get through this." Bobby said. Alex nodded.
AVENGERS
Natasha, Clint, Fury, Coulson, Hill, and the teens stood on the bridge. They had just found Rogers' and Skye's location and were now planning to send out a patrol to pick them up.
"So there not responding to our communications?" Danny asked. Fury shook his head.
"We'll be sending some agents to inform them." Coulson said, not sounding too pleased about their refusal to responding. Danny nodded.
"Who are you sending?" Kate spoke up; raising an eyebrow, a gash still on her head from the previous encounter with the Renegade.
"We'll be sending Romanoff and Barton, along with and Hill, Johnny, and Liz and Nathan." Coulson said. Kate nodded. Liz did a fist pump.
"Finally!" Liz spoke up. Nathan mouthed a yes. The others turn to them. They both look around. "What? We haven't been on a mission in a while!" Nathan nodded in agreement. Coulson rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, you leave in twenty."
AVENGERS
Bobby and Alex walked down the hall in the base. They were headed toward their dorms to collect any weapons they had.
"Ok, so what do you have on you right now?" Bobby turned to her as they walked.
"Uh- I got three knives, a pistol, my bow, and a throwing knife." Alex declared, looking for all the weapons on her. "You?"
"I got four knives and three pistols." He said; already knowing. Alex nodded. They arrived at their rooms and went in. Alex walked up to her dresser and opened the top drawl; getting out the pistol hidden under her socks. She then opened the other drawls getting out a few other knives and one other pistol; hiding them in any buckle, boot, and pocket she had.
They met back up in the hall. Alex walked over to Bobby and they turned; walking toward Morgan's office.
AVENGERS
Steve and Skye drove around a tree and stopped behind the brush; seeing a big building.
"Is that where she went?" Skye whispered. Steve looked at the ground; seeing hoof prints going in that direction.
"Yeah,…and you don't need to whisper. They can't hear us." He said; turning to her. Skye shrugged.
"It sets the tone." Steve rolled his eyes before they got off their dirt bikes and cautiously walked toward the building.
AVENGERS
The quinjet landed a few clicks away from Rogers' and Skye's location. Natasha and Clint got off the quinjet first, and then were followed by Hill, Johnny, Liz, and Nathan.
"These are their last coordinates?" Clint asked. Hill nodded.
"That was about an hour ago though. They could be miles away.
"Well I guess we better start walking." He said back. They all nodded and headed north toward the unexpected building.
AVENGERS
Alex and Bobby walked into Morgan's office. He was standing behind his desk, his back to then looking out the window.
"Barton?" Was all he said. Alex took a step forward.
"Yes sir. I need-"She glanced at Bobby. "We would like to speak with you." He turned; looking down at his desk.
"I need you two to retrieve something for me." He said; ignoring request. Alex nodded.
"There are some explosives waiting to be unloaded in the docking area. Would you mind going to pick it up?" Morgan said. Alex shook her head.
"Of course not sir." She gave a nod and they headed for the door.
"-and after that, we can have that talk." He added. They stopped; turned and nodded before leaving.
A FEW MINUTES LATER…
Bobby and Alex walked into the docking area; it was where trucks dropped off all their deliveries. Alex walked toward a truck and went to pull off the tarp. She lifted it and saw the familiar red, white, and blue shield on someone's back; obviously Steve, and Skye was sitting across from him. Alex dropped her bow which she was holding in her hand. Steve's and Skye's head jerk around in Alex's direction.
"I-I uh. Um…. Heeeyyyy." Skye said slowly. Alex grabbed Skye's arm and yanked her out of the truck and onto the floor. "Hey! -Ow!" Skye said. Alex stared down at her.
"'What the hell are you doing here!?" Alex asked. Steve jumped out of the back.
"We are-were-… it was Skye's idea." Steve summed up; shrugging. Alex rolled her eyes.
"Why the hell are you here!? I told you-"
"You're coming back with us, you don't have a choice!" Skye but in. Suddenly Bobby ran around the side of the truck.
"Hey Alex I-" Skye pulled out her gun and Steve was about the throw his shield.. Alex quickly jumped in front of them.
"DON'T! Shoot!" Alex said. Bobby looked horrified.
"You know him?" Skye asked cautiously, still holding up her gun. Alex nodded.
"Sorry Bobby, I should have warned you…" Alex said, sending a glare in Skye and Steve's direction.
"That's uh… fine. I was going to say we should probably not head back to Morgan's office. With the whole Hydra involvement." Bobby said. Alex nodded in agreement. Skye and Steve took a step forward.
"How is Hydra involved in it?" Steve asked more demandingly than questioning.
"This has nothing to do with you pal." Bobby said. Alex head up her hands as to say don't fight. She turned to Bobby.
"Take a moment and realize who that is…" She whispered. Bobby looked at him, then his eyes widened.
"Shit, sorry- uh…Captain. It's been a long day…" Bobby said apologetically; putting a hand through his hair. Steve gave a nod.
"So." Steve turned to Alex. "What's this all about?" He asked. Alex rolled her eyes.
"Nothi-"
"Hydra and the Renegade are going against her and might kill her within the next two days." Bobby said plainly, cutting Alex off. She whipped her head around to him, doing a slashing movement across her neck as to say shut up.
"Oh really?" Steve said looking at Alex. "You must have caused a lot of trouble to have both of them wanting you dead."
"Oh why do you care you're not my father." Alex said.
"No, but you father is on his way to our location now." He said. Alex looked at him.
"What?!"
"Yeah, there following us right to you. Not my doing by the way." Alex put her hands over her face with a groan. She turned to Bobby.
'What do we do?" He shrugged.
"You could come with us." Skye said. Alex sighed.
"So that's why you're here." She said more to herself. They nodded.
"You can still come back with us." Skye said.
"No offense Skye, but there's a lot more at stake right now." Alex said.
"We need to get them out of he-" Bobby was cut off by the sound of Renegade officers coming into the room. They see Steve and Skye standing there.
Alex sighed. "Oh no."
AVENGERS
Clint, Natasha, and the others were standing behind a few trees; staring at base 2J. They didn't expect there to be a huge base in the mission but they would have to deal with it.
"So what next?" Johnny spoke up.
"We search the perimeter, look for signs of weakness." Clint said. They all nod and head towards the base.
