So, Happy Easter everyone. I am still alive, I've just been busy doings things. I'll try to be more active again, because I really enjor writing fanfics, they relieve me of stress.
Tony stood up. "Let's get out of here." He said.
The rest of the Avengers agreed, and stood up as well.
"What about me?" Coral asked.
"I suggest you find a good place to stay while this plays out." Clint said. "Because we have work to do."
"So you just expect me to forget that happened?" Coral asked, standing up.
"No, we expect you to stay out of the way." Nat said.
"I can't just do that." Coral said.
"And why not?" Clint asked.
"Because I knew every single person in that building. Some of them I knew better than most, but I still knew everyone and everyone's families." Coral said. "I can't just not do anything."
"So what's your plan then, huh?" Clint asked. "What do you plan on doing to stop a god."
"I don't know yet." Coral admitted. "But I sure as hell am not going to sit around and do nothing."
"Well, as of right now, that's your safest option." Steve said.
"I won't be safe doing nothing. Not when I have this." Coral said. She pulled something out of her pocket. It was the hard drive. "When Loki finds out this is missing, he'll immediately know it was me, because I was the only person near it." She stated.
"How'd you get that?" Bruce asked.
"I took it out while Loki was talking to you guys. For an evil genius, he sure does like to brag abut his awesomeness." Coral said.
"Be careful about what you say of my brother." Thor warned.
Coral ignored him, and tucked the hard drive back into her pocket. "I know I can help. And if you don't let me come with you, then I'll do something myself." She stated.
Steve thought about it.
"No. We can not let her join us." Clint said.
"She has a point." Steve said. "Loki will come after her when he discovers that the hard drive is missing."
"So, we'll take the hard drive from her, and then she won't be in any danger." Clint said.
"One, I'm not giving you the hard drive." Coral said. "And two, he won't know you guys have it, and he'll still come after me. Then when he finds out I don't have it, he'll kill me." She continued.
"I'd be okay with that." Clint said.
Coral glared at him.
"It's not like she won't be defenseless and we'll have to take care of her." Tony pointed out. "She used to be a SHIELD agent. That isn't saying much, but she still knows how to fight."
"Plus, she is smart. She could help out with some of the stuff we do." Bruce said.
Clint looked at Natasha. "Do you think we should bring her?" He asked.
Natasha was quiet for a minute. "I think that we should bring her, but I don't know about trusting her." She said finally.
Clint looked at Coral. "I guess she can come." He said finally.
Coral didn't cheer or anything like that, but you could tell that she was pleased.
They all started walking.
"Wait, where are we going?" Coral asked.
"The Quinjet. It's how we got here in the first place." Tony said.
They got to the Quinjet a couple of minutes later. As they climbed on board, Clint grabbed Coral's arm, forcing her to stop.
"If you do anything to betray us, or do something that gets any of them or my family killed, I will kill you." Clint said.
Coral nodded, then broke away from his grip and climbed on board. Clint followed after her.
"So, where are we going now?" Coral asked as soon as everyone was on board.
Everyone looked at each other.
"We don't have anywhere to go." Natasha said, the realization sinking in.
"We can't go back to SHIELD. Fury's probably already trying to track us down." Steve said.
"And we can't go to my home either. Loki knows where it is." Clint said. Lila was asleep in his lap, and he was holding onto her tightly.
Coral sighed. "Seriously? You guys don't have a safe place?" She asked.
"We did have a safe house. My house." Clint said angrily to her. "And in case you hadn't noticed, Loki knows where that is."
Coral didn't reply to that.
"Maybe Wanda has some place we can go." Steve said suddenly.
"Wanda?" Coral asked. "Who's that?"
"That's actually a pretty good idea." Bruce said, standing up. "Since she wouldn't be in Fury's database yet, he wouldn't know where to look."
"That's a brilliant plan, but if this Wanda chick is who I think she is, then she's currently at SHIELD, where you guys shouldn't be going." Coral said. "How are we supposed to get to her?"
"Coral's right. We don't have any way of getting inside." Steve said.
"We could try sneaking in." Nat said.
"Everyone will know our faces. We'll be caught immediately." Tony said.
"Not all of us." Clint spoke up. He was looking at Coral.
"What?" Coral asked, standing up.
"Fury won't expect you to be there, so he won't be watching for you." Clint said.
"So I'm just supposed to walk into the Avengers Headquarters with out getting caught. Yeah, easy peasy." Coral said sarcastically.
"Look, you wanted to help, and this is how you can." Steve said.
"How will she know I'm telling the truth?" Coral asked.
"Believe me, she'll know." Bruce said.
Coral let out a long and deep sigh. "If I die in there, I'm coming back to haunt you guys." She said finally.
"Good to know." Tony said. He started up the Quinjet, and they took off towards the Avengers Secret Base.
