Don't normally place a note up here but on Clint's part, his thoughts from his past will look like this so you guys don't get confused from when he speaks in the present or does something.

Blue Fire and Green Ice

Ch.14

Alex told everything she knew about the avengers to Schmidt but along the way she tweaked things, lied about various strengths and weaknesses, the only avenger she couldn't lie about was Captain America since Schmidt had been Steve's enemy for such a long time.

After Alex was done she just reclined back in her chair, she was tired, and she had spent half the day working on the model of the Asgardian realm after talking with Schmidt and than spent the rest with Schmidt talking about the Hulk's triggers.

Her stomach growled and Schmidt looked at her amusedly, "How rude of me, you must be starving, you haven't eaten since Ivanski brought here have you?" he asked with a smirk on her lips. "I'm fine." Alex said but her stomach gave a sound akin to the one a dying whale makes.

"Hmm…I'm sure your fine but I cant have my SIC in command passing out due to hunger now can I?" he said as he stood up and walked over to her an offered his hand, Alex coolly rejected the hand and got up herself and started to walk to the door but when she went to open it she found it locked.

"Heh…why I am locked in here? Have I been locked in here the whole time?" She asked and for a moment she thought Schmidt was not going to answer. "Just as a safety precaution." Came his smooth reply and Alex turned her head to look at him. "A safety precaution for whom?" she asked again and Schmidt didn't move, "For you fräulein, I don't want you getting into trouble…" he said as he kept his voice calm.

"I thought you trusted your SIC." Alex said as she debated with herself how fast she could blast open the door.

"I do."

"Than you shouldn't worry."

"Fräulein…"

"What sir?"

"Don't push the matter."

"I would like to be able to move around the base freely."

"In due time."

"How about now?"

"I said don't push the issue."

"What if I get hungry?"

"Fräulein…"

"What if I want to train?"

"Fräulein …"

"What if I get cabin fever in being in the same room all the time and turn into a rabid dog like Cujo?

"Fräulein!"

"What if I have pee?"

"ALEX!"

Schmidt snapped, fed of her childish and sarcastic attitude and only grew angrier when he saw her smirk. "You might want to tread carefully Miss Alex, I am not someone you want to anger…" he growled and Alex just kept smirking, "What happen to "fräulein" sir?" she said in sweet voice.

Schmidt grit his teeth in annoyance, "Perhaps you'd like to left in the care of Doctor Ivanski again?" he asked in a tight voice. "Now sir, no need to get so angry I merely pointing out obvious things, I would just like the door to be unlocked if I get hungry or if anything else should arise." Alex said as she casually leaned on the door handle.

"I will escort you back to your room and have someone bring you food." Schmidt said as he moved towards her and Alex tensed, she moved aside and let him open the door using a passcode. He gripped her forearm and non-too gently pushed her ahead of him, Alex smirked, he had annoyed her, made her uncomfortable and even pissed her off today, and she felt it was only right to get even.

They walked past the main room again and she noticed Schmidt soldiers were each standing in line to receive what looked like a high-tech powered gun. "We will need more than just simple firearms if I am to take Asgard." Schmidt said as he noticed her look down at the soldiers.

'That's if the avengers even let you get that far…" Alex thought darkly as he continued to lead her back to her room, they reached her room but before she could even get her hand on the door handle she was spun around and knocked roughly back into the room, she felt a piece of cold metal press against the underneath of her chin and opened her eyes to see Schmidt holding her against the wall by painfully pressing a sensitive piece of her shoulder and the other hand held the gun that was pressed under her chin.

She heard him cock the gun and froze. "Ivanski was right…You seemed to never learn respect and while that can be an admirable trait in some situations you will show me proper respect when speaking to me." He growled as he pressed the barrel of the gun harder against the underneath of her chin forcing her to look up at him. "I am not somebody you want to anger, I saved you and you would do good to remember that I can easily place you back in that previous position." He growled.

Alex narrowed her eyes and bared her teeth, "I am NOT afraid of you, I may have chosen to work for you but I am a far cry from this drones you call soldiers, YOU would do well to remember that SIR." She said in low voice as she spat the last word in his face.

Schmidt stared down at her, her eyes were ice cold but determination burned deep in them. He moved the gun to the side of her head on the temple while the other hand went to grip her throat, he leaned into her ear, "I love how feisty you are but if I have to…I WILL break you mein fräulein…" he said as he increased the pressure of her throat but Alex did not struggle nor did she betray anything but a cool façade.

Schmidt moved back a little to look at her face, "Don't make me break you fräulein." He said softly with a smirk on his lips, he pressed a small kiss to forehead. "Good night fräulein…" he said with a dark smirk on his lips as he released her and pocketed his gun.

Alex opened her door and noticed him still standing there; she gave him once last glare as she shut the door and heard him say, "I hope your attitude adjusts mein fräulein…" he said darkly as the door clicked shut.

Alex leaned against the door, breathing heavily from her building rage, her hands alighting with her fire and before she could stop herself she let forth multiple blasts of fire and before she knew the room was covered in dark scorch marks the bed was burned badly and she had tore off the jacket in her rage and burned that too.

Alex breathed heavily as she fell to her knees, her mind frantically whispering over and over that if she just waited and just went along with Schmidt advances that she could be home free, but Alex was wrong about herself, she couldn't play puppet to Schmidt, he would not scare her, he thought he could break her he was DEAD wrong.

Alex stood up shakily, if Schmidt thought he could intimidate her he would just learn the hard way that Alexandria Nixon could not be broken nor scared that easily.

Ooo

It was a few hours later after her burning spree, hunger gnawed at her and her stomach wouldn't stop sounding like a damn dying whale. Alex had grabbed her charred pillow and propped herself up on the burned bed, "Ugh….I'm so hungry…" she mumbled to herself as she clutched her stomach, clearly when Schmidt said he would bring to food to her after she was left in her room he meant that because she disrespected him and annoyed him that he was going to make her wait and starve a bit.

"Bastard…" she grumbled sullenly, suddenly there was couple sharp knocks on the door and Alex jumped off the bed just as the door opened to reveal a young teen who had a small tray of food, "Here you are Ma'am." The young teen said quietly as he held the tray out towards her.

Alex took it and looked at the boy; he couldn't have been much older than herself, he only looked about 16 or 17. "What's a young dude like yourself doing in place like this?" Alex questioned him, holding the door open.

"I'm sorry Ma'am but I'm not allowed to speak to you casually." The boy said quietly and Alex didn't like how submissive he was. "You work for Schmidt as a solider right?" she asked and the boy looked uncertain as to if he should answer. "Just answer me, I promise I wont tell your insane German boss." Alex said coolly.

"Yes." He said as he shuffled from foot to foot. "You know most of the soldiers I've seen Schmidt hire are super muscled and tall looking, your bit scrawny and short aren't you?" she asked and the boy glared at her. "I won't be like this for long! That doctor that Schmidt hired is supposed to be working on a super solider serum! I'm going to be one of the first to be tested!" the boy declared and Alex's heart sank.

"Boy that's not a good idea..." Alex started but the boy cut her off, "Be quiet! I'm going to be strong! Schmidt promised it!" he yelled and Alex was taken aback. Her eyes softened as she took in how the boy stood with almost no confidence and he avoided eye-contact but tried to act tough.

A lost soul

"I don't know if you've heard boy but the docs a quack, he won't help you, he'll hurt you, make you nothing more than a drone and trust me, I know him, I was raised by him and the only thing that guy will succeed in doing is making you wish you were dead…" Alex said coldly and the boy looked at her in surprise.

"Look…Schmidt lies I don't know what insane things he's promised you and all you guys that work for him…but when he's done he'll just kill you…and again you don't exactly scream world domination like Schmidt so what's a guy like you doing in a place like this?" She asked again and the boy took a deep breath.

"I don't have a home…and at least here I might be useful, I know commander Schmidt isn't the kindest guy in the world.." he said and Alex snorted, "That's an understatement dude, take it from me, get out while you can, you look like you could be smart guy, so just get out while you can, because you can be more than a test dummy." Alex said and the boy looked at her surprise.

"I have to go Ma'am, I have been here for to long and I can in trouble." He said quietly and Alex just nodded. She stepped back and she heard him lock the door.

Alex frowned; she really hoped that the boy would see her reasoning and leave.

She sighed as she walked back to her bed and looked at the tray and made a face at the food.

It was basically some cold meat and lumpy-looking mash potatoes and a rock-hard piece of bread.

Yum.

Alex sighed as she dug in, too hungry to care and thought about the boy and wondered if maybe she had just made a friend.

Ooo

Alex managed to get some rest (she quickly regretted burning the bed) knowing that she would need rest if she had to fight anytime soon, Alex lounged on the bed, she had tried to go back to sleep but after awhile just gave up and just resigned herself to just staring up at the ceiling.

Her clothes were dirty and she noticed that unlike her S.H.I.E.L.D clothes they weren't fire proof, shortly after her nap she discovered this when she looked down and saw huge burn marks covering her pants from when her flames ricocheted, there was a huge hole in the knee of the pants and the boots were slightly melted, the side of her black tank now contained a huge hole and where little embers had landed on her had caused more little holes.

"You got my measurements but you forgot my power is fire based…idiots." She mumbled as she sat up and than wondered if her old uniform had survived her rage, she had stashed it under the bed and quickly rolled onto the floor on all fours and reached a hand under the bed and gripped her old uniform.

It had survived.

She stared at it and that back at the current one she was wearing, both were wrecked but at least one could handle her powers.

She took off the current uniform and put on her old one and than placed the one Schmidt gave her over it, so than at least when she had to be around Schmidt she looked like she was uniform (well as uniform as she could considering there were now giant holes in it) she looked at her S.H.I.E.L.D jacket and realized that was the one thing she wouldn't be able to hide considering she had burned the green one.

She stuffed it back under the bed and laid back down on the bed to try and get more rest.

Ooo

S.H.I.E.L.D

0200 hours

Thor was in some room fastening his armor on, his hammer rested on the floor by his side and his helmet rested on the bed that he sat on next to him. He was still upset by the fact that Alex turned out not to be the one to change his brother, he had gotten his hopes up so high and after the whole mishap he had been wrongfully angry with her, after she had been kidnapped he knew that he had not been right to be angry with her in the first place and that because of everyone's anger or suspicion with her, they wrongfully judged her.

Thor was just clasping on his arm guards when he heard a soft knock on the door. "Come in!" he said as he focused on tying the knots in place. He heard someone quietly open and close the door. "Thor…" Jane said softly and Thor snapped his attention to her.

"Jane what are you doing here? I thought you with the chattery one working on a project." Thor said and Jane seemed to fidget a little. "I was but are you going to help save Alex?" Jane asked and Thor gave her a funny look. "Of course I am! Why would you ask that?" he asked confused.

"Because you told me you were angry with her."

"I am no longer angry."

Jane just stared at Thor unsure of what to say, she had come down here wanting to talk but she suddenly found it hard to focus on the topic of which she wanted to speak of.

"I know you thought Alex was the one to change Loki and I know everyone here thinks that Loki was the one who had change her…but I spoke with her awhile before the incident, she loves him Thor…and I think your brother loved her too." Jane began softly.

Thor looked down. "Jane I know my brother, he did not change, and he used Alex and just fled leaving her to take the blame…" he said solemnly as he worked on strapping the shin guards on.

"I think your wrong Thor, I think Loki did change but didn't know how to deal with it." Jane said persistently. Thor sighed. "What is your point?" he asked exasperatedly and Jane paused.

What was her point?

"I don't know…but I just wanted to say…don't give up so fast on your brother changing and just bring back Alex safely..." Jane said and with she wrapped her arms around Thor.

Thor was surprised by the gesture but quickly returned her affection and realized that Jane was probably just worried about him going into Schmidt lair and Alex's being.

"Don not worry Jane…she is strong." Thor said as he held Jane close.

Ooo

Alex lay on the bed, out of breath and hurting all over, she had come up with the brilliant idea of just teleporting out of the base a couple minutes of ago only to find that the base was rigged.

"Ha! I'm such an idiot I'll just teleport out of this place!" she had said to herself but quickly after a few attempts learned that Schmidt and the doctor had anticipated her trying to teleport away because after the first few tries she had been painfully zapped and growled at the realization that most likely that Ivanski had constructed some type of field that would prevent her from leaving.

She took a deep breath; a puff of fire blew from her mouth but quickly evaporated.

Alex suddenly heard the door being unlocked and sat up too fast which caused her to become dizzy for a few second but once her vision cleared she noticed Schmidt standing there with a non-too happy look plastered on his face.

"Hello sir." Alex said casually as she moved off the bed to stand. "Ivanski says that you tried top escape." Schmidt growled quietly. Alex shrugged her shoulders. "I wanted some fresh air." Alex said as she leaned against the wall. "I thought we had a deal mein SIC." He said darkly as he advanced into the room.

"Yeah that's what I thought too when I found you didn't trust me and preferred to keep me locked up wherever I went." Alex retorted back sharply while she took a step towards him. "I saved you; I have made accommodations for you and look how you treat my generosity!" Schmidt said, his voice rising as he gestured to her clothes and the room.

"This place is a prison and your just as sick as Ivanski." She growled, in her hands energy began to build up more. "Now fräulein…I thought we could be friends! I'm disappointed." Schmidt said sounding hurt while his face held a frown. "So sorry to wound you sir, but I did not lie when I said I would not be easily intimidated." She said as she let her hands catch fire.

"Oh fräulein…you are going to regret going against me…" he murmured while he took his gun out from his holster. "All I regret is letting you near me." Alex said as she took a defensive stance.

Schmidt took the safety off his gun and Alex tensed.

"I will give you one last chance fräulein, surrender and I'll make your punishment less severe." he said as he aimed his gun at her and Alex smirked, adrenaline already soaring trough her. "Come at me bro!" Alex challenged with a childish smirk on her lips.

Schmidt sighed. "Guess you really do need more discipline before I can truly make you my SIC." Was the last thing the German said as he fired at her.

Ooo

Half an hour till departure

Clint inspected his arrows one by one as he currently sat in the bases archery range, each was sharp to the point, each one as strong as steel, he checked his beloved bow, testing the string, adjusting it like how a musician tunes their beloved violin. His hand swept over it, gripping it tight.

His rage had been building ever so quietly since they began to prepare for the mission, Clint had seen and heard what Ivanski did to her first-hand, the dark girl he found half a year ago, killing, slaughtering innocent people because she had no concept of right and wrong and all because of the way the doctor had raised and trained her and now she was back in his clutches.

Clint took an arrow from his holder and strung it slowly.

Clint at first had blamed himself but quickly kicked those feelings away.

He did not become a top notched assassin by letting his emotions get to him.

So instead he built up all his anger for the doctor for Schmidt and for Loki.

He aimed for one of the targets.

His muscles taunt and tensed, the string slowly pulled back with the arrow sitting in it waiting to be fired.

He would get back Alex if it was last thing he ever did…as an assassin he had made sure to harden himself against his own emotions and the emotions of others…but that changed when he first found Natasha, she had become quite the trustworthy companion after awhile and he started to feel a little better about letting emotions through.

He zoned in on his target, he took deep breaths as everything around him became nothing but silence.

The only thing registering with him the sound of his breathing and quick heart beat.

Than he had been assigned to find and kill Alex, he thought nothing of the mission, it would easy and fast in his mind, locate target, capture target, kill target.

Nothing hard about it.

He had gotten to Costa Rica, he had found the target, and he had captured her.

But he didn't kill her.

Clint in that moment let one emotion through that was forbidden to all assassins.

Pity.

The girl was a mess, long, black, wild hair, her eyes ice cold, her clothes dirty and shredded, covered in blood, a feral look on her features yet once he had raised his bow to kill her she stopped struggling and her eyes widened in anger, sadness and hate.

"Kill me…"

He felt his fingers ease off the bow and the arrow start to move forward.

"What are you waiting for! If you're going to kill me do it!"

He watched in what seemed like slow motion as the arrow zoomed forward.

"I have already had a hard life so do it! You'll just be like all the rest who kill for money! Well I kill to survive because I have to! So if you came to kill me because I kill than you are stupid and if you pity me than you are fool for you do the same things as me for not so different reasons!"

The arrow came closer to its target.

Her eyes had been filled with anger and years of hurt.

Clint had slowly knelt in front of her seeing that it was safe, as she was currently bound and could not move to hurt him.

"What if I told you I won't kill you and that I could take you away from here and to somewhere safe?"

Her eyes had widened in surprise.

But her expression was one of a cold smirk.

"I'd just end of killing you, anybody that has ever tried to help me ends up dead because I can't control myself."

"I managed to capture and almost kill you. I think I'll be fine."

The girl had given a playful smirk that had a feral look to it.

"Ok I accept, just remembered I warned you."

He had nodded in agreement and just as he went to stand up she spoke again.

"What's your name?"

"Clint Barton"

"Clint? That's kind of a stupid name but my names Alexandira13 but please call me Alex."

Clint nodded and noticed the girl smile in a less feral way.

The arrow slammed dead in the middle of its target.

Clint slowly lowered his bow, the memory playing over in his head, he grit his teeth, his anger bubbling just below the surface now. He slung his pack of arrows over himself and secured his bow to him as he went and retrieved his arrow, he pulled it from the target board and placed it with the rest of his arrows and made his way out of the archery range, his features dark with his anger.

'Don't worry Alex I may have messed up but I promise we'll get you back.'

Ooo

Alex sent a jet of fire in front of her to melt the bullets but as the flames cleared she barley had time to react as she saw Schmidt charge at her, swinging his gun at her face. She ducked and moved off to the side sending more fire in rapid succession.

Alex did a spinning-roundhouse kick and sent the fire blasting from her feet, Schmidt's barely dodged, the flames burning his jacket and his face.

Alex saw him pause as he started clutching at is face and Alex started advancing on him, she punched out fire from her fist rapidly as she neared him, he was barley managing to doge and Alex felt the blood-lust course through her.

"I'm going to melt your pretty little face off!" she yelled as she summoned forth a large amount of energy and let it blast out from her fist, she breathed heavily as the flames dissipated, expecting to see a burned and charred Schmidt but all that stood in front of her was a charred wall.

"What…" he heard her self say but next thing she new she felt something whack her in the back of her head, she stumbled forward and than she felt a firm kick land onto her back forcing her to land face-first, she rolled around and looked up while clutching her head.

Schmidt stood in front her, his gun raised, half his face (the masked he wore) was melted, slightly sticking to his face, his red skull peeking through. "Impressive little fräulein, but I'm afraid that you have let your anger and rash decisions blind you, I am faster than I look." He said in a calm voice that was laced with anger, he cocked the gun and aimed it at her.

"Looks like I got you pretty good for being blind." She in a snarky way, Schmidt swung his gun, the muzzle smacking her painfully across the cheek. "Argh!" she yelled as she clutched her cheek, her head pounding in pain.

He raised the gun again and Alex threw him a glare, "Go ahead, shoot me, if the avengers don't have the tessaract you're screwed." She growled and Schmidt feigned a hurt and shocked look, "My dear you are the most important thing in the world to me right now, I would never kill something so powerful and useful!" Schmidt declared and Alex gave a confused look.

"What the hel-!" Alex began to shout but he fired and next thing she knew her body was coursing with electricity, her body spazzed uncontrollably, before falling limp, her mind in haze, she felt an arm wrap around her waist pulling her up.

"Who ever said that I had bullets in my gun fräulein?" she heard him say in a smug tone, "Well looks like I'll just have to leave you with Doctor Ivanski for awhile, you clearly need to still learn some respect, but don't worry after you have learned some proper mannerism, your spot will still be waiting for you." She heard him whisper in her ear and she weakly sent a jet of fire from her fist at his face but he was able to catch her fist and extinguish the weak flame. He tsked her, "You are making things very difficult fräulein…" he said as he aimed the gun at her again.

"I hope you know this hurts me than it does you." He said as he got ready to fire.

Alex spat in his face and he shot her two more times.

Alex's vision blurred and she felt darkness creep into her vision until all she saw was blackness.

Ooo

0400 hours

Avengers depart for Schmidt's base.

Tony was flying over head in his suit, closely followed by Loki while the rest of the team rode in the car.

"Everyone remember the plan?" Steve asked and everyone nodded and than everyone just lapsed into silence.

The ride was about an hour long and they left the vehicle about half a mile from Schmidt's base so that nobody could find it.

They walked the rest of the way on foot till they paused to use Tony's map to find the entrance, it was guarded by at least a dozen men with large guns, and they hid in the brush of the forest for a couple minutes preparing one last time.

Tony got ready to short-circuit the security on Steve's command.

Bruce stood back nervously, trying to get his heart-rate to be stable just a little longer.

Clint readied his bow.

Natasha pulled a gun from her holster.

Steve gripped his shield while placing his mask on.

"Ready capiscle?" Tony asked with a smirk.

Steve nodded and Tony disabled the security, Natasha sprang from the brush and charged the men followed closely by Clint.

The two assassins quickly dispatched the guards and the Captain and the rest ran from the brushes, Tony hacked the doors using his suit and they sprang open.

"AVENEGRS ATTACK!" Captain America cried as they charged into fray.

Ooo

Alex woke up awhile later in a small dark room, her head hurt and her anger flared, she summoned a small flame to her head and tried to stretch out and quickly realized that she was in a room meant for solitary confinement, she remembered faintly being thrown in the room by one of Schmidt men and Schmidt saying, "Perhaps a little time in here before I let they doctor really have his fun with you will change your mind fräulein" he said coldly and Alex than faintly remembered just hocking a beautiful loogie in his face before he yelled at the solider to close the door.

Alex increased the flame and found herself barley able to sit up properly.

She sighed but than she heard yelling outside the door and scooted closer to the door to listen.

The voices were muffled but she was able to catch the only words that really mattered to her.

"Avengers."

"Broke into base."

"Tessaract."

Her heart soared.

They had come for her and they had the tessaract!

She quickly started slamming herself into the door and screaming "I'm here! I'm here!"

She may not be able to open the door but at least they would know where she was when they searched for her.

Now if only she had heard the part about them NOT having the tessaract.

Chapter 14!

*Spazzes out on floor* I REALLY like how this chapter came out, I think it came out super well compared to the last chapter.

Especially Clint's part.

I think that came out super good and hopefully not confusing!

I'm iffy on Thor's and Jane's part though :/

Well here we are folks, the avengers have now infiltrated the base, and Loki is among them.

Alex has royally pissed off Schmidt, but hey, that happens when you hock a loogie in someone's partially burned face.

The nameless boy in this chapter will play a role in the story, don't worry I didn't just make up another character because I couldn't figure out what to do.

Alex snapped at Schmidt, she was never one for patience, even when it came to her own plans.

I have a feeling I'm going to have waaay too much writing about how some men's death…. :D

Also if you want to kind of get more of a visual on Alex's fighting style think of when Korra from legend of Korra when she Firebends

But till the next chapter people!

Please be a dear and review, they make me write faster and I love to hear what you think of the story.

Jay out!
