Entering the office after witnessing the fierce fight Fury asked Bella about her intentions after the danger of Victoria was no more.

Bella answered truthfully that she wanted to return shortly to Forks and Phoenix to bury her parents properly and to close that chapter of her life completely. Next on the agenda would be the completion of her education. She wanted to graduate. But she did not plan to stay in Forks. Bella really did not want to stay there. She could not live on in the small town where her father had been murdered. Too many memories of him. His car, the station, the house, his goofiness, his friends.

The Cullen's and the Pack would fight to watch over her. Leah would make her life a living hell, Jacob would insist on telling how unhappy he is without her and that she should live with them. But she would have too many memories of happy times with her father. Billy, Charlie's best friend would also be a constant reminder of what had happened. The kids in school would meet her with contempt and whisper and pity her. No! She was not made for a small town. She wanted to live with her uncle or granny.

Fury had just listened to her but started to shake his head which confused Bella to no end.

"You are not out of danger Miss Swan. Far from it. At the moment returning to Forks or Phoenix is out of the question."

"Victoria is dead. What danger is there now? The Cullens? They are vegetarians, they won't hurt me." she answered.

"Well. We have found out that they have something in store for you." Phil cut in. "They are not quite what they seem." He had strange facial expression and his eyes were showing a barely concealed rage. She had never seen him like this. Something was definitely going on.

"What plans?" she wanted to know impatiently. Seeing her uncle almost lose control over his anger was slightly terrifying. If they had held something back they would not know what is coming for them.

"Let me guess. They want you to marry your dear boyfriend as soon as possible and integrate you in their fantastic family clan. They already call you a daughter. Am I right?" Barton asked.

Why are they teaming up against me? It seems as if they are preparing me for something. What the hell have they found out? And what?

"Yes." she answered and having enough of their evading her she added:

"Look! I may have been temporarily weakened when you first met me, but whatever it is I want you to throw it at me, because quite frankly I'm absolutely livid about your beating about the bush. What is the terrible thing that the Cullen's are planning with me?"

She knew that that not the best behaviour and she almost expected to be reprimanded by her uncle, but to her astonishment everyone in the room was smiling or grinning proudly at her.

Except Fury who stared at her with an unreadable expression. Really? Aren't they getting tired of their games? Was this some kind of test? Obviously. Had she passed? It looked like it.

"Alright then! Agent Romanov if you please." Fury nodded to Natasha who went straight into presenting mode.

"Do not say we did not try to prepare you properly." her uncle whispered into her ear.

"Well. In short. The Cullens are planning to turn you a human incubator for a human-vampire hybrid." she informed Bella, who shut and opened her eyes rapidly after trying to digest the compressed information.

"I'm sorry. What?" she asked. Human incubator? How? Why?

"You are telling me that the Cullen family wants me to carry Edward's spurn? How is that even possible? I mean, Rosalie told me that she always wanted a child but she cannot have one." she rambled.

"Maybe you should start from the beginning, Agent Romanov" Phil suggested looking at Bella who was despite her shock already processing the information she had received.

"Ok. As you were indisposed due to your pheromone poisoning an agent stationed in Seattle retrieved all your files from the hospital including the file on Dr. Cullen's desk. He downloaded everything of his computer and placed a Trojan Virus which will connect their home computer to the internet and give us access to them. "

"Hold on! Downloaded where?" she asked. "You said this agent downloaded everything from Carlisle's computer. Couldn't have been an USB stick. Right?"

"An adapted USB stick yes. Thanks to Stark Technologies. But that is not important right now." Natasha answered unhappy about the interruption, but it seemed that she was so used to the newest technology in the agency that she forgot about the technological level the normal people had to live with. Poor sods!

"For the Trojan to work Carlisle needs to log in from their home." she clarified.

Natasha being annoyed with the constant interruptions ignored her and continued, seeing Coulson nod at the girl.

"Going through those files I discovered scanned texts about legends of a male and a female mating. The male was described as a Cold One and the female as an untouched mate. Well not really Cold one but they referred to it as demónio frio. The word frio can refer either to the state of being physically cold, but also at being callously. So, in a process she received a child which was very special as it had special and strong powers. But the mother's body was never able to cope and died at birth."

I can't believe it. Carlisle is compassionate! He would never do that. Would he? They were like a family to me. So friendly and warm and they wanted to kill me? Why would they want a human vampire hybrid?

"Is there any evidence that the whole family was involved? Not just Carlisle?" she asked hopefully.

"As of yet, we have not found any physical evidence about the involvement of the others but we have to strongly assume it. At least Edward had to have knowledge of the plan as it involves him too." Barton told her truthfully after weighing the options of lying to her. Fury wanted her to be part of the agency and lying to her could seriously backfire in the future. So telling the truth was probably the best option.

"May I see the information?" Bella asked. She needed prove. She was in a spying agency and she needed tangible evidence. She had been manipulated long enough!

"You may." Phil answered much calmer, tipped something on a tablet and handed it to her.

"You have to be kidding me!" Bella shouted enraged after seeing the evidence. "It is Portuguese isn't it?" Next to it she found Natasha's translations and switched around the files and processed the texts in almost unnatural speed. Watching her use the tablet and the information all people in the room could see why she would be potential asset to their agency. She seemed to have her technological interests from her mother. Her brain was processing the information in rapid speed and she was perfectly able to handle the tablet.

Phil had to do a double take as she changed the setting on the tablet with almost two or three swishes to show her two columns of two different files at the same time. Was she reading both of them?

"Is this even possible?" Oh God! I trusted them! Edward had told me jokingly to never trust a vampire. It was a joke to him.

"Dr. Cullen seems to believe so." Natasha answered calmly.

"But as you can see, none of the women in the stories have survived. So it is just a theory. And we do not know anything about what happened to the children. Just that they had the best of both species."

"I need to find out more! If I don't go back they could look for someone else! We cannot let that happen." What about the treaty? Surely they are breaking it with this.

"You are absolutely not going back anytime soon, Miss Swan." Fury told her. His good eye was staring at her and made her uncomfortable.

"I was not suggesting going back at the moment, but I have to do something to put an end to it." Bella emphasized passionately by hitting the tablet twice with her finger. "Permanently."

"Alright then." Fury pushed himself away from his desk he was leaning on. "Please don't murder our tablet, Miss Swan."

He gave Phil a nod and said. " Agent Coulson. We proceed as planned, but I also think that we could use some of our new gadgets."

Which means what exactly? To Bella's questioning look Phil informed her grinning. "You and I are going to Nevada with Agent Romanov and Barton."

"Nevada?"

"Yes, you will start your combat training there and prepare yourself for your graduation."

"Well, I hope you are insured." she smiled. "I am not known for my coordination and could seriously hurt you. And what exactly does that entail?"

"Actually I'm starting your training Vampire girl." Natasha cut in. "You need to get in form whether you like it or not. But don't expect me to go easy on you just because you are a girl."

"Could you please not call me that?" Bella called exasperated. "I'm not a vampire and I do not plan on becoming one. ... Ever!"

"Noted." Natasha nodded.

"There are also loads of nerds around who will love to help you preparing for your graduation. I'm sure you'll fit in perfectly." Barton joked. Did he just insult me? No, it's probably his way of joking.

"Another reason is that you have to say Good bye to your scar on your arm. With all those scientists we can figure out how we can get rid of it without potentially spreading any remaining venom in it."

Great. More time in hospital. "You think that it is a ticking time bomb?" Bella asked. But as she had already worked the tablet she found the answer in no time. She could not wait to get rid of little memento.

"When do we start?"


Billy Black was sitting in his house, contemplating about everything that had happened in the last few days. He was able to walk again, his diabetes had mysteriously vanished with his transformation and he had fought alongside his son and other members of his tribe.

He was feeling physically so much younger again, but he desperately missed his best friend Charlie. Jacob missed Bella just as much, if not even more. Where was she now?

The vampire girl called Alice had not been able to see her again. Who was this Agent Coulson? He was no family member of either Charlie or Renee. He could vaguely remember that there had been a huge fight between the two newlyweds after Bella had been born.

Charlie had wanted him as her godfather but Renee had insisted that she wanted someone else. So Coulson's claim to be her godfather could be true. He had definitely wanted to be her godfather but to ease their quarrelling he had told them that he would not mind.

The danger of Victoria was over but she did not know that. Jacob had tried to call her several times but had been redirected straight to voicemail. They had to find out soon where she was or Jacob would lose his mind of worry.

He now had to focus to give Charlie the best burial he could have. Bella should be proud of their efforts. If she was not able to be here then she should at least know one day that he had a good funeral. Jacob sitting solemnly on the couch surrounded by Quil, Jared, Sam and Emily was staring at the phone as if he could will it to start ringing, but nothing happened.

The events of today were slowly sinking in and they started to realize how lucky they had been. They were alive. Although they would never trust the Cold ones they had gotten their respect today. But this would not mean that they would become best friends with them. They were still their mortal enemies and danger to humans after all.

All of a sudden everyone flinched at the unexpected noise coming from the phone on the table. "Bella!" Jacob called hurriedly grabbing the phone!

"Bella!Ist that you?Where are you?Victoria is gone!You can come back!The danger is gone!" He practically screamed into the phone.

"Yeah, Hi, Jake, It's me but I didn't get the rest." he heard her laughing heartily. Why is she laughing?

Trying to control his heartbeat he needed o first take a deep breath: "Are you alright?"

"Yeah...Sure. I mean, considering what happened in the last few days I'm fine. But I think I should ask you and the pack the same. Right?" he heard her saying. What is that noise in the background? Is she on a train? There are people talking in the background!

"How do you know that? Didn't the leeches tell you? We had a big fight with an entire Newborn army of leeches and we won. Victoria is also just a pile of ash. You can come home now! Everything is safe now!"

"Calm down, Jake." she told him. "Was someone hurt?" she told him almost whispering but suddenly changed into an angrier tone: "And for the record: You are the first person I called after ... after Charlie died."

She is calling me first! Me! Me! Not the leech! Had he not been sandwiched between his pack members who were desperately trying to listen in he would have jumped up and danced around in the room because of happiness but unknown to him at that moment his happiness would soon be crushed by the very same person causing his happiness now.

"Seth and Leah were severely hurt, but they are on the mend now! Dr. Cullen had to break their bones again in order secure them healing in the right place." he informed her. Trying to sound casual he asked: "When are you coming back? Your dad's funeral is in a few days."

She did not answer immediately and had he not heard her breathing he would have thought that she had hung upon him. "I'm not coming back in the foreseeable future, Jake. I'm so sorry but I can't."

"What! But your dad's funeral! You need to come!" His heart was breathing rapidly and he was almost losing control. Why is she not coming back!

"I want to Jake, I really want to but I can't!" he heard her saying pleadingly. "I'll come back one day and say goodbye to him properly but at the moment I can't!"

"Why? Is this Coulson forcing you to stay there?" He would come and get her if he needed to.

"No, Jake. He is not forcing me to stay where I am now. He's actually really great and … ahm… well, I just want you to know that you are my best friend and that you'll always be." she told him.

That sounds like a good bye! Is she already with the Cullens? Oh No! Is she about to be turned into one of them? "Bells? Are the leeches with you? Is that why you are saying bye?" he growled into the phone.

"Jake, No! Definitely not! No! No! No!" he heard her saying quite forcefully. She sounded repulsed by that idea. "The Cullen's will never, ever see me again if I can help it!"

Oh! She changed her tune! What's happened?

"They better stay out of my way or they will regret it!" he heard her hissing in the phone. What is going on? It sounds like Bella, but her attitude is completely different.

"You don't like your special leeches anymore? What's happened?" he joked.

"Can't say." she answered curtly. "But whatever you do. Don't trust them. I should have listened to you all along."

Told you so! He heard someone in the background telling her to keep it short now. No!

"Ok, Jake sorry. Got to go! We'll stay in touch but it could take a while. Would you mind passing me over to Billy? I just need to give him some quick instructions for Dad's funeral."

"Yeah! Sure. Please take care and call soon…." Before he could say more his dad grabbed the phone and marched outside of the house giving everyone a stare which told them to not follow him. Somehow he had a feeling that this was not about the funeral.

"Hallo, Bella! How are you doing?" he asked and was surprised at her answer.

"I think you were close enough to Jake to hear the answer before. What about you? Feeling better on two feet?" How does she know that?

"Yeah!" he brought out in his surprise.

"Listen Billy, Is the Pack listening in because I do not want that right now!" he heard her in an almost commanding tone.

"I figured as much. They are not close right now. I suppose it has to do with your decision of not coming back." he deducted.

"Yes, Ahm Billy? Please do not freak out! I know you are new to the whole wolf thing but I figured that you are the more composed one." Well I hope so. How does she know that?! She talks as if she is here. How does she know what has happened after she has left. Jake has not told her about me!

"The treaty with the Cullens. As far as I know the treaty becomes invalid as soon as they bite or kill a human creature. Right?" she asked hesitantly. Where is she going with this?

"Is it also invalid if they are aiming to get a human creature pregnant?" she wanted to know giving Billy almost a heart attack. "Are you?!" He began to shake violently. If she is then I will rip them apart slowly and very painfully.

"No! Mercifully I am not and as I haven't lain with any vampire or human, this is not possible." Billy was slowly releasing the breath he had been holding. Well the leech can live for one more day.

She must have somehow found out about a plan like that. Now her hesitancy to come back made perfect sense. They were planning on breaking the treaty with her!

"Are you safe kid? "He asked and got his answer.

"Yes, for now. But please accept that I can't tell you where I am going as Edward may read your mind and all efforts to stay safe would have been in vain." she reasoned. "By the way. Charlie's best suit is in his room behind his door in a plastic bag."

"Stay safe" he murmured but the girl had already disconnected the call.


"What commission do you have concerning Bella?" Edward raged against his adopted father. "I've heard them thinking about a commission. This commission of the Volturi is the only thing that has kept us alive. They have watched the entire fight! Hell, they even know about the stinking wolves!"

"Calm down, Edward." Carlisle told him pleadingly.

"You know I love Bella like a daughter, but her visit in Voltera has created some severe aftershocks. She is already special as a human. Almost no gift works on her and the Volturi despise our lifestyle."

"What commission, love? You have a look on your face which I haven't seen in a very long time." Esme said slowly walking towards her husband.

The other vampires in the room watched the conversation with interest. Carlisle was known for despising the Volturi and him taking a commission from them was something very unusual.

"Aro is very interested in her." he began hesitantly and while she had been in Voltera a seer had a vision about her as a vampire. According to this seer she could become one of the most powerful ones in our history."

"Then I have to change her as soon as possible!" Edward having a mad gleam in his eyes shouted.

"No! Her strength in the vision came from somewhere else. ….. She would have to give birth to a human-vampire-hybrid in order to receive her powers."

There was a stifling silence in the room. Everyone was shocked until the loudest protest came from the vampire which was least expected.

"Are you out of your mind?! You said: We are vampires, not monsters!" Rosalie shouted at her family. "And I truly believed that you all cared about her!"

"Rosalie…" Emmet tried to calm his wife but was stopped. "No! Do you think I don't know the stories! No woman has ever survived this! None! You are no better than the other vampires if you believe that you are above them! Haven't we destroyed her life enough already?"

"It is either Bella or all the other vegetarian clans including all those who helped defeating the newborns! I have figured out a way to safe Bella with Edward's help but I will not compromise my families or friends lives for one human girl!"

"Not just any human girl! Her name is Bella!" Alice cut in balling her hands into fists. How had she not seen that coming? She didn't want Bella to suffer, but she did not want to die either and a life on the run from the Volturi would not last long.

"Well, I certainly don't want to die. "The former red eyed war veteran said: "We will help you with catching your girl, the rest you have to do for yourself."

"I'm so sorry!" Carlisle said hanging his head in shame. "But it is the only way. She can forgive us later."

"I certainly don't want anything to happen to Bella, especially something like this, but on the bright side. Rose, you could finally have a little baby to take care of."

"Not for a price like this! I'm sorry but I'd rather die than let anything like that happen to Bella." Rosalie spat. "You have to do that without me!"

"Fine! We do it without you! Where do we start?" Edward asked the others. They had to find her first in order to finally fulfil his darkest desires.
