Hey guys, finally saw Endgame. To me it was a perfect ending to this Era of Marvel movies. Best wishes to the stories to come.

And a side note, sorry for the wait, I've been working a lot lately with school and other stuff. I will try not to make this a reoccurring thing but you know how things are.

Anyways, on with the show...

A FEW MONTHS LATER- STARK TOWER

"Sir, the telephone. I'm afraid my protocol's are being overwritten."

Coulson's voice came through Tony's phone. "Stark, we need to talk."

"You have reached the life model decoy of Tony Stark, please leave a message."

"This is urgent."

"Then leave it urgently," he said as the elevator door opened with Coulson inside. "Security breach! Angie, that's on you."

I rolled my eyes and turned to the visitor, "Coulson."

Pepper smiled, walking over to greet him. "Phil! Come in!"

"Phil? Uh...his first name is Agent." Tony corrected, following the redhead.

"Come on in, we're celebrating," I called over my shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Miss Jarvis; but I can't stay." Coulson held out a file towards Tony. " We need you to look this over. Soon as possible."

"I don't like being handed things."

"That's alright, cause I love to be handed things. So, let's trade." Pepper said trading the folder for her champagne. She handed Tony the file and took his drink. "Thank you."

He opened the file and walked towards the workstation,"Official consulting hours are between-."

I look up from my laptop, "Whenever you want them, which is never."

"This isn't a consultation."

"Is this about The Avengers?" Pepper asked. "Which I...I know nothing about."

I furrowed my brows,"I thought the Avengers Initiative was scrapped?"

"And I didn't even qualify," Tony added.

"I didn't know that either." Pepper frowned.

I raised my hand, "I did, apparently he's volatile, self-obsessed, don't play well with others."

Pepper smirked, "That I did know."

"This isn't about personality profiles anymore."

"Whatever." he motioned for Pepper. "Miss Potts, got a minute?"

They walked off and started talking.

I turned to Coulson. "What about me?"

"It's been recommended that you not be on this case."

"What about a few months ago when Rogers thawed?"

"Due to some recent events, Director Fury took you off."

"What-" The scepter….the eyes….Clint….

"Phil,"Pepper said walking towards us. "Any chance your driving by LaGuardia?"

"I can drop you." He said as we headed towards the elevator.

"Fantastic."

I smirked. "Maybe you can tell us about the cellist."

"She moved back to Portland."

"That's too bad."

~:~

After we dropped Pepper off at the airport, Phil dropped me off at my apartment.

"I think we know each other well enough for you to call me Angie."

"I know but they don't know that." He gave me a small smile.

"These are some of the things that make me not trust you as much as I'd like too. "I sighed, "Phil, why don't y'all want me on this?"

There was a long pause before he spoke. "Barton's been compromised."

My heart pounded, blood rushed to my ears. "What happened?"

"The man we're after put him under some type of trance. Clint and some others are on his side now."

"But he's alive?" I choked, him nodding in reply. "Off the record, I think your going to need my help."

He stared at me,"Why's that?

"Phil, I think you and I need to have a talk. But there is one condition."

"Name it."

"Whatever is said in this room stays between you and me, no one else will know. I know what Shield would do if they heard this."

"Depends on what you have to say."

"Okay….I probably going to regret this," I began. "What do you know about my previous employment?"

"I know you were a teacher at Xavier's Institute, World History."

I bobbed my head,"Other than that."

He leaned back on the kitchen counter. "I know that it helps people with special abilities."

"You think they're people too."

He crossed his arms, "With all the things I've seen, it's hard not to believe that." His head jerked over to me. "You're one of them, aren't you?"

I chewed on my lip. "Promise me you won't tell anyone."

"I won't." He turned and smiled, "So, what do you do?"

I reached for his mind. "This."

He jumped in shock.

"And this." The open cabinet shut.

"Whoa…" he gaped.

"I know, right." I chuckled. "Also, I can see things before they happen."

His eyebrows raised. "How?"

"Sometimes I dream of them long before they happen. Or it flashes in the heat of the moment, among other things."

"So, that's why you were so calm through everything."I nodded in reply. "You know," he laughed, "we considered you a suspect in Stark's disappearance."

"Makes sense. And when he got palladium poisoning? Suspect me in that too?"

"Not necessarily."

"Huh, well that's over now." i joked. "So, where's Romanoff? Wasn't she with him?"

"No, she's off to retrieve Dr. Bruce Banner. We need him and your uncle to track down the cube."

"What about tracking down Clint? Where he is, the cube probably is, too. I can try to track him telepathically. Plus, y'all will probably need me to keep an eye on the Captain."

"True." He got off the counter and adjusted his tie. "I'll see what I can do."

I lead him to the door. "Phil?"

"Yes?"

"I saw it."

His brow furrowed. "Saw what?"

I took a deep breath. "Was there a scepter involved? Little blue gem?" He nodded. "And everyone who got pricked with it, their eyes glow the same blue?"

His eyes widened. "How long ago?"

"A few months ago….when I last talked to Clint after his reassignment. And when he had a 'family emergency'."

He nodded and turned to leave.

"And Coulson?"He looked back at me."Not matter what happens," my eyes welled up,"bring him back. And you know why."

"You got it." I called out again when he turned to leave, but he put his hand up. "I know," he replied, "We'll try to keep him out of it."

"-Do it!-"

Gasp. I jolted up from my sleep.

Ring. Ring.

"Hello?' i said rubbing my eyes.

"Hi, Angie, it's Steve. I'm gonna have to take a rain-check on that lunch."

"Alright, we'll reschedule then." My phone beeped. "I gotta go. I'm getting another call." I hung up and answered the other.

"Angie, it's Natasha. Be ready in 20. I'll pick you up around then."

"Nat?" I yawned.

"Just be ready." Click.

I quickly showered and threw on some clothes. After packing my bag, I got a text from the red-head telling me she was downstairs. I raced to the car and got in.

"You made it." She smiled, handing me a coffee. "Caramel frappé with three shots of espresso."

I scrunched up my face from the rush. "Three?"

"Trust me." She put the car in drive. "You're gonna need it."

"So, this Loki guy came through the Tesseract and just took it?"

"Not necessarily, Miss Jarvis." Fury replied.

"I understand he's Asgardian, but still."

Fury turned his gaze to someone behind me. "Gentlemen!"

I stood up and turned around to see the Captain and another man I guessed was Dr. Banner. Steve slipped Fury some money. I guess he lost a bet. Fury walked over and shook the doctor's hand.

"Dr. Banner, thank you for coming."

"Thanks for asking nicely. So, um, how long am I staying?"

"Once we get our hands on the Tesseract, you're in the wind."

Banner walks towards the techs. "Where are you with that?"

"We're sweeping every wirelessly accessible camera on the planet," Coulson responded. "Cell phones, laptops, if it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us."

"I have a colleague of mine looking into finding Selvig, as well." I offered my hand to Banner, "Angie Jarvis. Pleasure to meet you."

He shook it, "Likewise."

Natasha turned from her monitor. "Even with all that, it's still not gonna find them in time."

"You have to narrow your field. How many Spectrometers do you have access to?"

Fury crossed his arms. "How many are there?"

Banner pulled off his jacket. "Call every lab you know. Tell them to put the Spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for Gamma rays. I'll rough out a tracking algorithm, basic cluster recognition. At least we could rule out a few places. Do you have somewhere for me to work?"

"Romanoff," Fury called over his shoulder. "Would you show Doctor Banner to his laboratory, please?"

She walked over and led Banner off the bridge. "You're gonna love it, Doc. We got all the toys."

I walked down to where Cap is. "I see you lost a bet."

He smiled. "10 bucks said I would be surprised."

"A word of warning: don't make any bets with the King of the Spies," I whispered.

His mouth twitched. "King of the Spies?"

"That's what I call him. He's all secretive and stuff. Plus, he's the boss. Hence, King of the Spies." I looked around. "I'm guessing this was why you rain-checked."

He nodded, crossing his arms."Why are you here? You my babysitter or something?"

"No." I glanced over to the screen that had Clint's profile. "I came for other things."

"Like what?"

"My friend was taken by Loki. We're…." I wrapped my arms around me. "I would do anything to get him back. I owe it to him."

"I understand that." He put a hand on my shoulder. "We'll get him back."

I looked at him tearily. "And if y'all don't?"

He squeezed my shoulder,"We'll be right here with you."

I nodded and headed up the stairs towards the bridge. I sat down at the table and propped my feet on the table.

Beep. Beep. I pulled out my phone.

Hey, call us as soon as you can. -Logan.

"Excuse me, I think I got something." I got up, dialing the number.

Ring. Ring. "Hey, we got something."

"Okay. Shoot."

"Charles couldn't get a reading on the guy, but one of Hank's monitors has been going off. He says he's getting some high readings of gamma radiation."

"Where?"

"One sec. Hey, Hank!" He said, a voice muttering in the background. "He says Germany, but he can't get the exact location."

"That's good enough. I call you back later." I shut my phone and ran back to the bridge. "I got something." I headed towards one of the tech. "Set your scanners on Germany."

"What did you find?" Hill asked.

I caught my breath. "My friend has a monitor in his lab. It's been going of like crazy. He says it's been reading high levels of gamma."

"We got a hit. Sixty seven percent match. Wait- cross match, seventy nine percent," the tech yelled.

"Location?"

"Stuttgart, Germany."

I chewed at my lip. "He's not exactly hiding."

Fury turned to Steve. "Captain, you're up."

He nodded and walked off.

I get up from my position and move towards Coulson. "Phil, I have a bad feeling about this."

He leaned closer. "What do you mean?"

"It's a trap." My eyes darted in every which direction.

"Then, let's hope it isn't."
