Is our secret safe tonight
And are we out of sight
Or will our world come tumbling down?
Will they find our hiding place
Is this our last embrace
Or will the walls start caving in?

Resistance - Muse

I sat on a metal chair, at a metal table, with metal handcuffs on my wrists. I was blowing air from one cheek to the other, pitiful I know, but I was bored. No one had been to see me yet so I could only assume that the others were taking a long time.

I was still in awe of the way Romanoff had come bursting into the room. I mean, sure it was terrifying but it was still something I had only ever seen in the movies. I think – to this day I still debate it – that Captain America is my favourite Avenger.

However, if we counted Phil Coulson on whom I was choosing from – I would never decide between Coulson and Cap. My list of favourite to least favourite Avenger (including Coulson) would go like this:

1. Agent Phil Coulson or Captain America AKA Steve Rogers

2. Black Widow AKA Natasha Romanoff

3. Hawkeye AKA Clint Barton

4. Iron Man AKA Tony Stark

5. Thor AKA Thor Odinson

6. Hulk AKA Bruce Banner

Now I'm not sure about the last two on my list, but that's just because I've never really been interested in them. Tony Stark is very arrogant (most of the time) but he's at no.4 because I admire his willingness to protect the innocent.

No. 2 and no. 3 have been disputed for a while but I guess I am swayed by the fact that Natasha is the only female Avenger. However, on Penny's list she's got Iron Man as no. 1 and Thor as no. 2. On Grant's list Hawkeye's got no. 1 and Bruce is no. 2.

Ok, so I can understand Grant's list – Grant is a guy and he has a fascination for the Hulk. But Penny's list I have never understood, seriously, she has Natasha at last place.

The door opened revealing Agent Phil Coulson – inside I was fan-girling, but I tried to keep my face calm. Behind Coulson was Natasha Romanoff but I just kept looking curiously at Coulson. Suddenly I remembered one of the Agents of SHIELD episodes where Fitz had woken up with whipped cream on his hand and face (it had been Agent May who had done this) – I couldn't help but smirk while biting my tongue.

"Something funny?"

Coulson's voice rang out and I looked up, raising my eyebrows "Certainly."

Natasha was in the corner of the room, covered by shadows. Coulson looked down at his suit "Did I miss a button?"

I shook my head "You, missing a button – I doubt it. No, it's an inside joke."

Coulson just looked at me, his face guarded. "What's your name?"

I raised my eyebrows "You already know it. Alberta Rosemarie Kennedy."

His face grew hard "Cut the crap already. Your friends have already spilled, why won't you?"

Natasha came out of the shadows looking imposing. I looked Coulson in the eyes "If you already knew everything you wouldn't need me, would you?"

(Penny's POV)

Grant and I had been dumped in an interrogation room, handcuffed, placed in metal chairs facing each other and then left alone. I mean, do they expect us to start snogging each other or something? Grant and I have just sat here for about two hours not saying anything. I swear, when I speak again my voice will be a croak.

"She's ok you know."

I looked up at Grant "Huh?"

He rolled his eyes "She's ok. She hasn't said anything."

My eyes widened "How do you know this?"

Grant smirked and pressed his finger to his lips "It's a secret."

The door opened and Clint Barton appeared with Bobbi Morse. Bobbi Morse is awesome – just thought you'd like to know. Clint took the remaining seat while Bobbi leant against the wall

"What's a secret?"

I snorted and looked at Clint "If Grant says that it's a secret don't expect us to tell you" I looked at Bobbi "Or her."

Clint crossed his arms and leant back in his chair. I could see that Grant was trying not to swoon. "Let's cut to the chase guys, Alberta has told us what she knows; now we just need to see where you're at. If you don't appear to be a threat, you get to go back to your hospital bed."

Clint looked relaxed but I could see his eyes studying us. I looked across and Grant and tried not to freak out when I saw his eyes glowing red "She hasn't told you anything, you're lying."

Bobbi stepped forward – I think she noticed his eyes, I know Clint has. Trying to defuse the situation I let out a cocky comment "If she's told you everything, then you wouldn't need us would you?"

(Normal POV)

I could literally feel my eyes start to glow red and Natasha came to stand next to Coulson. However I just engaged in a telepathic conversation with my brother

Grant, have you told them anything?

No, have you?

Certainly now, I think we should give them what they want.

What do you mean?

They want to know something new, we can satisfy that.

I understand. What about Penny?

…I'll knock her unconscious, it'll make her seem innocent – which she is.

Ready?

Yes.

Three. Two. One.

In sync we said to our interrogators "You want to know something?" I could feel my skin start to glow and knew that Grant would be experiencing the same "Drop bears aren't even real."

Penny's mind shut down just as SHIELD agents burst into both rooms.
