Maria Hill's POV

"Director Fury there's been a breach on the deck!" the roar of an engine caused everyone to turn to the large glass. A jet blasted off the air deck and into the sky.

"Who took that jet?" the Director ordered storming over to the computers.

"It seems to have been Miss Stark", a slow smirk began to pull at my lips. I turned away from the Director; I knew she'd do it.

"Agent Hill?" I turned keeping a blank face.

"Yes Director Fury?" I asked professionally. He stared at me a moment, my lip twitched causing him to chuckle nodding his head.

"Keep a look out on Miss Stark", he ordered intertwining his hands behind his back to return to the glass his black jacket swishing behind him. I watched him for a moment before going to the radar; a small green light flickered on the screen moving quickly revealing her route to New York.

We circled each other slowly our eyes never leaving the other; I rushed at her throwing my fists. I dodged to the left missing her counterattack; however, I wasn't quick enough to the punch to my gut. I grunted in pain dropping to my knees gasping for breath. My hands clutched to my bare stomach, sweat dripped down my nose and onto the mat. Her boots appeared in my vision and I barely looked up at her knowing what to expect; she'd have to make me pay for losing.

"Good job kid", I blinked my head shooting up. She stood over me her chest heaving for breath her hand out for me to grab. I stared at her a moment before allowing her to help me. I rubbed my stomach trying to soothe the pain.

"Why are you congratulating me, I lost", I asked her as she turned away from me lifting up a towel next to her bag. Selma Whitewolf wiped at the sweat on her forehead, her skin still glistened her sports bra soaked darker from our sparring. She was training me; I kept being told how lucky I was to have her to train me.

"Because you kept up, you did a hell of a lot better than I did my first sparring match", she said twisting the cap off her. She began to chug at her water as I stared at her. She was possibly the strangest person I had ever met. She was smart, skillful, and a master assassin yet she seemed to lack anything really threatening about her while also being strangely professional in everything she did.

"MOMMA!" I craned my neck blinking to see a little girl running over. Selma's lips tugged up into a smile revealing her white teeth, she twisted catching the little girl as she threw herself at Selma. The little girl resembled Selma, however, she did look like her father. It was known throughout the agency Selma's fraternization with her mark Tony Stark which resulted in her daughter. I had only seen the young girl a few times but she seemed like a trouble maker and I was shocked a little kid was even allowed at HQ.

My shoulder's stiffened when Selma turned with her daughter walking over to me. I had to keep my lips from tugging into a frown; I had never really been good with kids.

"Maria Hill, I'd like you to meet my daughter Charlene; everyone just calls her Charlie though", the little girl's bright brown eyes stared at me intently. Her lips tugged up revealing her few teeth into a bright smile.

"Hi!" she bellowed out making me cringe from its echoing in the gym.

"Sweetheart, inside voice", Selma scolded and the little girl nodded so wildly I expected her head to pop right off her little shoulders. "Let me just get my things then we can go love", she told the little girl kissing her forehead. She set her down near my feet turning away from me. I stared down at Charlie awkwardly as she smiled up at me. I fought to find something to say; I had never been good with kids especially one's just smiling at me.

"You should be very proud; your mother is one of the finest SHIELD Agents ever", I blurted out cringing at the end. Her head tilted to the side as she stared at me a moment. "I hope to be as good of an Agent as her one day", I added she blinked up at me.

"Why?" she asked and I stared at her confused.

"Why, what?" I asked shifting from one foot to the other.

"Why do you wanna be like her one day? Why don't you just be your own great Agent?" I blinked in shock. I had never heard a child say something so wise before.

"Charlie, come along! Be here again at the same time tomorrow Agent Hill", I heard Selma order but I continued to stare down at Charlie. She grinned at me once more pulling something out of her pocket holding it out to me. I grabbed it watching her run off and leave with her mother. When the door closed I opened my hand blinking to find a tiny dandelion inside it. I stared at it a moment before looking back up at the door.

"Better kick some ass Charlie", I murmured to myself before turning away from the radar.

Charlie's POV

"Download commencing", the loading on the screen flickered through several lines of code till finally a loading bar appeared. "Downloading finished"

"Miss Stark, have I never been happier to hear from you", I licked my lips smiling gently.

"Hello JARVIS, long time since we spoke", I greeted.

"According to your coordinates you are making your way to the battle Miss", he stated his British accent the only sound other than the hum of the jet.

"Yes I am", I replied. I closed my eyes taking in a deep breath; I jumped in a start when the jet began to beep wildly warning me of the danger coming. My hands tightened around the jet's steering as my eyes squinted to see what was ahead.

"We're here Miss", my eyes widened as I came closer.

"Oh my God…" I whispered as I stared at the huge blue energy bursting from the roof of the Stark Tower. The large hole above was filtering out specs of what was the enemy. I took a deep breath trying to calm my pounding heart.

"Incoming!" JARVIS warned me as the cockpit beeped wildly in warning as well. I yelped in surprise trying to steady the jet when one of the aliens landed on the front of the jet. It eyes met mine and we stared at one another for a moment before it screeched wildly its red eyes glowing at me. Its fist flew up and I screamed when it slammed its fist through the glass shattering it.

"JARVIS take over control", I ordered covering my face from the glass. I leaped out of the chair and slid into the back of the jet as the alien climbed in through the broken glass. I rolled my wrists taking a deep breath as the metal curled around my skin. The metal felt rather tight around my bandaged shoulder.

Its feet scratched against the metal floor, he towered over me still fitting into the jet its red eyes glowed at me. I took a deep breath for courage before letting out a war cry lunging at it. I brought up my fist it connecting with its face, the aliens face snapped to the side but he still had little reaction. I paused in shock that it was barely fazed my eyes wide. Its head twisted to look at me before screeching loudly at me, I cried out when it kicked me sending me flying back into the wall behind me.

I groaned as my shoulder pulsed slightly from being jarred, the pain medication could only do so much. I looked up when more scratching of feet could be heard from the front of the jet. More of the aliens had crawled through the broken glass of the jet that was hovering mid- air. I licked my lips trying to formulate a plan to get out of this. One of them screeched lunging at me; I gasped dodging its attack throwing my hand out in front of me sending a beam at its chest. It flew back into its comrades; this seemed to just anger them more.

My eyes roamed over the jet as I tried to formulate a plan in my head. An idea popped into my mind and I slid my hand from the wall I was pressed against sliding a small circular device from my back pouch. I licked my lips smirking at the aliens which just seemed to anger them more.

"Come on boys, come and get me", I growled pushing up from the wall glaring at them. The one I had shot in the chest screeched and they all came barreling toward me. I dodged the left punch of the first and danced around their wild attacks, overall they had no means of plan so I got through easily.

"JARVIS be linked up to my earpiece", I ordered hopping onto the dash of the jet. I slid out onto the nose of the jet; the aliens struggled in the small space of the jet to get toward where the windshield was suppose to be. "HEY LOSERS!" I yelled causing them to pause in their growling. I smirked at them slamming the small circular device onto the nose of the jet. "Sweet dreams", I said winking at them all before doing a back flip off the jet nose.

I soared through the air; the wind whipping against my face as the ground came barreling toward me. A loud whirl then a boom was heard behind me. I did one more flip till I slammed my eyes shot; a loud crack of the cement under me could be heard. My eyes fluttered open, a small crater was where my feet stood. I looked up smirking, the jet was gone and all was left was small pieces of ash from the bomb.

"Marvelous job Miss", JARVIS complimented me.

"Thanks JARVIS"
