"You actually said that." Luther said as we sat at a small table at Pier 47 in Seattle, drinking beers. "Out loud. 'Mission accomplished.'"
Ethan nodded. "I said it." He said and I laughed.
"You're still corny, Ethan." Luther said. "I can't imagine the look on that guys face." He said taking a drink as Benji, Will, and Jane walked up to the table.
"Hey." Will said.
"This must be them." Luther said.
"Luther Stickell, the firm of Carter, Dunn and Brandt." Ethan introduced.
"I blew an entire weekend on the bottom of the San Fransico Bay, no thanks to you clowns." Luther said, putting his beer down and stood up, reaching into his pocket.
"No, man, you know I got this." Ethan told him.
"I know." Luther said pulling his hand out of his pocket, sticking his middle finger up at Ethan. "I'll see you both in Kandahar." He said bumping his fist with Ethan's and left, patting me on the back.
"Thanks for meeting me." Ethan said to us.
"So, I hear the insurance company's refusing to pay the claim on that car you crashed, Ethan." Benji said as the three of them sat down. "Something about intentional 100-meter vertical drops not being covered."
"Go figure." Ethan said shaking his head and we all laughed.
"How's the leg?" Jane asked him.
"Still working." Ethan said. "You?"
"Healing." Jane said.
"I'm fine, by the way." Benji said waving his hand. "I mean, I'm not actually sleeping, per se. You know. Cold sweats. Middle of the night." He said and leaned forward. "All these people are just happy and smiling and they are completely oblivious to the fact that they were almost vaporised. And if it hadn't been for…"
"Dumb luck?" Will interrupted.
"Was it?" Ethan asked him. "I mean, look, we were unprepared, in the dark. Disavowed. And the only thing that functioned properly on that mission was this team. I don't know how we ended up together, but I'm glad we did."
My cell phone started to ring and I pulled it out of my pocket. The team looked at me. "I'm sorry." I told them and answered the phone.
"Hello?" I spoke into the phone.
"Agent Hunt."
I sat up straight. "Director." I said.
"Agent Hunt, I have a mission for you." He said.
"I'm guessing I don't have any say in the matter." I said.
"Agent Barton has been compromised." He said and I turned silent, closing my eyes.
"Yes sir. I'll be in as soon as I can." I told him. "Sir, is there any difference between him before and after."
"Yes. His eyes will be a bright blue." He said.
"Thank you Director." I said and hung up.
I leaned back into my chair, running my hands through my hair and closing my eyes.
"What's wrong?" Ethan asked.
I turned to Will. "He's been compromised. If you see him, under any circumstances, you do not trust him." I told him seriously.
"What happens when someone is compromised?" He asked.
"They are either brought in or killed." I told him. "They prefer the latter, especially the higher agents."
"And he is one?" Will asked.
"Of course, he's the best marksman in the world." I told him.
"What's going on?" Ethan interrupted.
"I can't tell you Ethan, it's confidential." I said and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Ethan said as I was walking away.
I stopped walking and saw Coulson. I turned around and looked at Will. "Be careful. Some people may be coming after you." I told him and walked towards Coulson.
*Christine will be coming back in the Avengers, but only if you Review and tell me what you thought about this story and if I should write a sequel.*
***AUTHOR'S NOTE***
Well, this is it, the final chapter. I hope you enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed watching the movie 4,000 times and writing this story. I can't promise that I will update on the sequel as much as I did on this story. I may be occupied with school, but I will try to write as much as I possibly can. And instead of publishing 1 chapter a day, I will publish 1 chapter a week. Big thanks to all my reviewers, and thanks to those who reviewed chapter 10; imaninja41, KennaWynters, Lupin and Tonks Forever, and ForeverKitty. Keep reviewing! I will publish chapter 1 on Monday the 10th.
