"Ah, welcome Agent-"

"Whatever it is you think I've done, I haven't." I replied before he could finish his sentence. Fury looked at me with a raised eyebrow before standing up from his desk.

"You're a fiery one, but I have an issue."

"And that would be?"

"My missing files." He smirked. "We've found their location, and the lab experiment who took them."

"You mean her? But how did she even get onboard?"

"That's a good question. However, that's not my biggest problem. Those files need to be retrieved, and immediately."

"So you want me to go in there?" Fury looked at me with fire in his eyes; I looked down.

"You'll be going with Hawkeye." The door opened and in walked the spy, fully equipped for the mission. "You'll go in, he'll watch your back, and the both of you will come back with my files. Understand?"

"Yes, sir." I muttered in defeat; I suppose a mission would be better than doing nothing for another week. Although spending that extra time with Steve was something that would alleviate all of the bad feelings I had been getting lately. Maybe it'd give me a chance to work on some reconnaissance skills.

I followed Hawkeye out of the room, when he took a turn down an abandoned hallway. I looked after him curiously, tilting my head as he stopped. He told me to follow once more in a rough tone, which I was about to fire a retort back to but I felt it would be out of place. Something wasn't right about Hawkeye; and I intended to find out.

"Stark!" Tony's head shot up as his experiment was irrevocably ruined by the Captain's intrusion. Bruce and Tony turned too.

"Where is she?" Steve asked warily, looking between Bruce and Tony. "Where did she go?"

"Mother nature, you mean?" Tony asked. "Left her with Fury, why? Did he really pulverize her this time?"

"This is no time to be joking, Stark." Steve glared at him. "She's gone missing, and there are two agents that were supposed to be guarding the aircrafts are knocked out cold. They said Hawkeye-"

"Hawkeye?" Tony smirked. "Jealous of her spending times with other men already, Captain?"

"Is there something you want to say, Stark?" Steve shot him a cold look, which Tony returned.

"Well since you brought up the subject, yes, I do have a few things to say." He crossed his arms and stepped forward. "What do you have to offer her, Captain? Do you even have a home to be able to take care of her in, or even a job other than being whatever you are now?"

"Are you… jealous?" Steve laughed. "Are you honestly jealous of the fact that she chose me over you?"

"She wouldn't have if you didn't completely coddle the girl; you're always around her and cutting her off from the rest of us."

"She asked me to train with her Stark, she kissed me back an-" Bruce walked into the middle of the room, holding back both men who were ready to tear out each other's throats. He looked at both of them in warning; they understood, and backed off. Tony went back over to his experiment, sitting down and reading over his notes while Steve turned to Bruce.

"What is it? What's happened with Hawkeye?" Steve shot one more disdainful look to Tony before turning back to Bruce, who looked as worried as he felt.

"They say he left with her. And that his eyes were glowing like… like when Hawkeye was under Loki's control."

"Uh, Hawkeye…" I continued to follow him to the aircraft, curiosity getting the best of me as he approached the Agents standing in front of the doorway, with his bow drawn. They both stood on edge, ready to fight back when Hawkeye easily knocked them out without a second thought. "What are you doing?"

Hawkeye turned on me, eyes glowing. He grabbed onto my arm roughly; I glared at tried to yank myself from his grip, which didn't work. His muscles flexed as he pushed me forward, wrapping his arm around my waist while keeping a hand over my mouth. Once we entered the aircraft he roughly pushed me to the back.

"Don't do anything funny." He growled, before turning away from me. I inhaled sharply, ready to retaliate when it hit me that he was still taking me to Brianna. This wasn't something that Hawkeye would do; he had to be under Loki's control again. I had read in his case file that he had at one point been under Loki's mind control, but I had thought it had worn off. It appeared he was once again suffering, although it did look as though he was fighting it off.

I was silent the whole ride; Brianna still had the case files, and I still had to get them back.

So I might as well stick this out and see what's going on, no matter how dangerous this plan is.
