Short warning upfront readers, there is some German and a little bit of Dutch in this chapter, so I put the English translation behind them, enjoy!


Several days passed and then everything was dealt with, I was now officially an avenger. The guys were all really happy for me even though they were already worried for my first mission, but they didn't need to worry about that yet, it had been quite peaceful lately.

I woke up from the sun shining in my eyes, I was still tired, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to sleep anymore with the sun in my eyes, so I got dressed and went downstairs. I spotted Bruce sitting on the couch reading a newspaper and walked over to him. I sat next to him and said "morning" and then yawned, he looked up from his newspaper and looked at me. "Morning Accalia, it's still early, why don't you go sleep some more, you're obviously tired" he said. I answered "the sun was shining in my eyes, couldn't sleep through that." He nodded "you could sleep here if you want? It's dark enough." I thought about that and nodded, that didn't sound bad at all. I turned into my wolf to be more comfortable and then walked a circle on the couch before lying down with my head in Bruce's lap and let out a soft sigh of satisfaction when he brought his hand up and pet me slowly. Bruce laughed at my antics, "sleep Accalia, I'll watch over you." I closed my eyes and felt the petting continue and focused on that, the rhythm of his strokes easily lulling me to sleep.

I woke up, but kept my eyes closed as I was lying too comfortable to move. I twitched my ears to hear what was going on and suddenly felt myself being lifted off of Bruce's lap and placed in someone else's, by the smell of it Tony's, I was still too stubborn to open my eyes. He wrapped his arms around me and softly said, "morning Accalia", but I was having none of it and nestled closer in his warmth. My body shook as I felt him chuckling softly. He pet my ears "not ready to get up huh?" he asked. I let out a soft grumble as response. "Leave her alone Tony" Steve said, amusement clear in his voice "it's Sunday, we don't have anywhere we need to be, let her have a lazy day" I felt Steve's hand pet me once and let out a soft whine of appreciation. Tony, however, didn't leave it at that, he kept me awake, saying I needed to get up until I had had enough.

I jumped off his lap and stretched, looking around to see all the avengers seated on the couches. I chose the next best option and jumped on Natasha's lap, who was sitting next to Clint, I spread myself out on their laps and closed my eyes again, I wasn't gonna let Tony ruin my morning. I heard Tony whine and say something, Steve and Thor answering to it, but I couldn't hear it over Clint's laughing. He and Natasha then began to softly pet me and I enjoyed the feeling. I wasn't allowed a quiet morning though as JARVIS spoke up. "Director Fury is on the line sir." "Avengers I have a mission" said Fury's voice a second later through the speakers. "Good morning to you too Director" Tony said, causing the others to snicker.

Steve turned serious "What is the mission about?" Fury answered "It's a solo mission, for Accalia." That got my attention, I opened my eyes at that statement, jumped on the empty seat next to Clint and changed human. "What do you need me for sir?" I asked. "I need you for an interrogation, I'll give you the details when you get here." "Off course sir," I answered "see you in a few." Then the connection was broken. "Well there goes my peaceful morning" I said while getting up and stretching. "Let's find out what Fury wants from you, shall we?" Clint said. I nodded and we made our way to the garage.

When we arrived at the helicarrier we walked into Fury's office. Fury looked surprised to see all the avengers with me. "I thought that I had said that this is a solo-mission for Accalia?" Fury said. Steve answered: That may be true, but we are a team, so even if we cannot help with the mission itself, we will still be here. Call it moral support if you will" he said while winking at me. Fury raised his eyebrow at that but didn't comment otherwise. I decided to get to the point "what mission did you have for me Director?" I asked him. He turned his gaze to me "Right, about that, follow me."

We followed him through several hallways until we ended up in a small room with one-way glass that was looking into an interrogation room. In the room, one man was seated, he looked to be in his forties, he wore a black shirt with black pants and was covered in dirt. He had a tattoo on the left side of his neck in the form of a small snake and when I looked at him more closely, using my wolf senses, I saw that he was slightly dehydrated and had bags under his eyes, he hadn't had sleep in at least a day I noted. "This is commander Jonathan Weber, we captured him a few days ago when we discovered a HYDRA base and attacked it." Fury informed us. "If you already secured the base, then why do you need Accalia?" Natasha asked. "When we recovered all the data we could find at the base we discovered that HYDRA has a big plan coming up pretty soon however, we do not know what it is, but Weber does. The problem is that since we brought him here yesterday, he has only uttered one sentence in German, stating that he wasn't going to talk to anybody but Accalia. And that is where you come in" he finished looking at me.

Tony then spoke up: "so just for the record, you want to send Accalia into a room with a HYDRA commander, who might I add, isn't even tied up, while he has been refusing to talk and might be dangerous?" Steve added "he is right director, Accalia would be in danger if she went in and could end up getting hurt." "If we don't find out what HYDRA's plan is, lots of people are gonna get hurt" Fury retorted. "So you would risk Accalia's life in the hope of getting a bit of information" Thor said. "If it would save the lives of millions of others, yes." Fury answered harshly. "You don't even know the plans, what if they are worthless, then you would be risking Accalia's life for nothing." Bruce said. "And if the information is valuable, then one life is nothing compared to the millions we safe." Fury said angrily "so Accalia's life is worth nothing to you if we can save other people?! Tony yelled.

"Guys, shut up will ya" I said, finally having had enough. They all turned their gazes to me. "Since Weber wants to talk to me it is my decision and I have decided that I am gonna talk to him" I told them. I was about to walk towards the door of the interrogation room when a hand caught my arm. "Please understand that we just want you safe Accalia" Clint said looking at me with worry filled eyes. "I understand that, but I am a wolf, I will be fine, I promise" I said. I hugged Clint and he held me there for a second before releasing me. I looked up at them with a smile "besides, if he tries anything I bet you guys will be in the room before I can so much as shout." They grinned at that and I walked to the door. I put my hand on the handle and nodded at them before entering the room.

I entered the room, keeping my eyes on Weber and sitting down on the chair on the opposite side of the table from where Weber was sitting. He raised his head "Ah, ich sehe dass Sie endlich gekommen sind, es ist gut Sie endlich kennen zu lernen - Ah, I see that you have finally made it, so glad to officially meet you."

He extended his hand to me and I hesitated for a second before shaking his hand. "Ich bin Jonathan Weber - I am Jonathan Weber" he said "Ich bin ein Wissenschaftler für Hydra, und darf ich sagen das es eine Ehre ist Sie zu begegnen, ich habe viele interessante Dinge über Sie gehört - I am a scientist for Hydra, and I must say that it is an honour to meet you, I have heard many things about you."

I looked at him confused, how could he know even anything about me? I shook my head, focus Accalia. "Die Hydra Basis wo Sie gewesen sind, was haben Sie dort getan? - The Hydra base where you were, what were you doing there?"

I asked him. "Ah, ich sehe dass Sie gleich über die wichtige Dinge reden möchten, okay dann, das Haus war ein sehr großes Laboratorium das wir benützt haben um eine neue Flüssigkeit zu entdecken, aber wir die Flüssigkeit schon verlegt bevor Hydra kam. Das warden Sie nicht so einfach finden können. - Ah straight down to business I see, well fine then, the base was a giant test lab and we discovered something very interesting there, a new liquid. But we moved it before SHIELD came, it won't be easy to find."

He said. "Was für eine Flüssigkeit? - What kind of liquid?"

I asked him. He smiled mysteriously "Oh machen Sie sich darüber keine Sorgen, dass werden Sie schon sehr schnell entdecken - Oh don't worry you will find that out for yourself soon enough."

Suddenly he stood up, me doing the same, warily eying him while he slowly started moving towards me. He continued: "Sie werden später mehr über diese Flüssigkeit lernen, aber jetzt muss ich einfach nur noch eines Ding machen - You will learn more about the liquid later, for now, there is only one more thing left to do."

He then suddenly grabbed a knife out of his belt and slashed at me. It was only because of my wolf speed that I reacted fast enough and moved to the side, causing him to miss me and look at me with wide eyes, muttering "also er hatte die Wahrheit gesprochen - so it is true."

I didn't give him a chance to recover and grabbed his arm, twisting it behind his back, making him drop the knife and pushing him with his chest onto the table. I held him there when the door burst open and the avengers piled in. Steve quickly took Weber from me and led him out of the room, as he stood by the door Weber turned to me and said: "Geniet van je vrijheid Accalia, zolang als die nog duurt… - enjoy your freedom Accalia, while you still can".

I wanted to ask him what he meant when a body blocked my view. Bruce gently grabbed my shoulders, "Are you okay?" he asked me while looking me over carefully. I focused my attention on him, pushing Weber to the back of my mind for now, "yeah I'm fine, he didn't lay a scratch on me." "Good" came his relieved reply. "Accalia" Fury called, I turned my attention to him. "Natasha translated most of the conversation for us, is it correct that they made a liquid?" I answered "Yes he told me that they discovered a new liquid at the base, but that they had moved the liquid to another base already."

An agent then came walking in with a box in his hands, Fury took the box from him and the agent took his leave. "This is the liquid, we found a small sample at the site, but it is all we could find. We haven't figured out what it is or does yet." The avengers all gathered around. Tony picked up the liquid and took the cork off the bottle before smelling it, "It doesn't have a scent, I have no idea what this is" he passed it to Bruce, who shook his head as well "I do not smell anything either and since it is a clear fluid I would need to run tests to find out what this is and possibly also find out how it was made" he said also having no idea what the liquid was. I held my nose as the smell invaded my senses. "Whatever it is, do you think that can you talk about it with the cork on? Damn that is a strong smell." I said while trying to breathe as little as possible. "You can smell that?" Fury asked in wonder. "Yes, it has quite a distinguishing and strong smell actually and since I am a wolf my senses are heightened, so yes I do smell that odour." I answered him.

"The thing is" Fury continued "I can't smell anything and neither can the others, but you seem to be able to smell it. If the smell is so strong for you, do you think that you could track it?" He asked "If they spilled a bit or didn't have a cork on the bottles, then yes, I would probably be able to follow a trail." I replied. Fury turned to all the avengers, "Avengers, suit up, you are going on a mission" Fury then turned to me "all of you." I nodded, as did the others, though I did catch some of their worried glances aimed towards me. "The mission is this" Fury went on "Accalia is able to smell the liquid, so you will go to the base and with Accalia's help you will follow the trail and find out where they took the liquid to." We all nodded in understanding. Fury straightened, "good, now get ready, you leave in 15 minutes." He then turned around and left.

"Alright" Steve said, "suit up and meet back at the hangar in 10 minutes." Everyone nodded and started walking their respective ways to get their gear. I followed Natasha, "Nat" I said. She stopped walking and looked at me. "I do not have a suit or anything, what do I wear?" I asked her. She smiled at me "come along, I'm sure we can find you something."

As said, we met up at the hangar 10 minutes later. Thor and Bruce were already standing there, Thor in full gear, while Bruce had not changed his clothes at all. "Lady Accalia, you look very nice in that outfit" Thor complimented me. "Thank you Thor, I must say that I like it a lot." I wore clothes similar to Natasha, a black shirt, with a black leather vest over that and black leather pants, but where Natasha wore her black boots, I simply wore my dark grey shoes, they would do the job and were comfy. Soon the others joined us, all suited up, except for Tony who had his suit next to him, but did not feel the need to wear it yet. "Everyone ready?" Steve asked. Everyone nodded and then all eyes were on me. I also nodded back at Steve, "ready!"
