A/N: Hey guys! Here's the next chapter, I should be asleep, but my dogs are barking and yeah. So, enjoy this chapter! Oh and I changed the color of the gem to green. Because well...who doesn't like green?

Steve and Gamora groaned in pain, but on high alert as they started to get up.

"You alright?" Steve asked, looking at the assassin.

Gamora nodded, "Yes. You?"

Steve gave a curt nod, "Fine. Maria?"

Silence.

"Maria?" He asked again, turning to where his fiancee lay on the floor. Maria lay on her stomach just part way under a computer desk with a fairly large cut on her face and her hands were burned. It was clear that she had gotten the worst of the explosion and had been most likely standing close to where it happened.

The two of them pulled the rest of her body out from under the desk and turned her over on her back to check for more injuries. Gamora and Steve looked at each other in worry. They needed to find the others and the source of the explosions, but they didn't want to leave Maria alone, injured and unconscious with a fight going on.

"Go on! I'll stay with her!" Coulson called, jogging up to them and kneeling down beside Maria, opposite Gamora, "Agent Hill is down. We need a medical evacuation." He said into the comm. link as Steve and Gamora hesitantly but quickly left the area.

"Emily!" Steve called as loud as he could down the busy hallway. Alarms were blaring and all the agents were in a frenzy, "I'm going to kill her after this!" He added, earning a nod of agreement from Gamora.

Emily and Peter were goofing around on the detention level when they heard the explosions. Lilith wasn't with them since she had gone to find Coulson.

"What the hell was that?" Peter asked, looking at Emily in confusion.

"How should I know? You're Spider-Man, you go figure it out!" She snapped, crossing her arms.

Peter shrugged and went to leave, only for Emily's voice to stop him.

"You aren't going anywhere!"

"But you just said_" He started, only for her to cut him off.

"Believe me. It would raise a lot of questions if Spider-Man just showed up on a flying fortress. Emphasis on the FLYING."

Peter sighed and rolled his eyes, "Make up your mind, woman!"

Nebula watched the two teens argue in amusement. With the two of them distracted and everyone else running around, it would give her just enough time to grab the child and get out without being detected.

Now if she could just find said child.

Lilith aimlessly wandered around the halls as agents were running around in a frenzy, shouting out orders left and right, careful not to trip over her.

"Mommy? Daddy? Uncle Phil?" She called, feeling overhwhelmed with the situation at hand, and within minutes, the hallways were empty since everyone had something more important to do than babysit a child. Albeit the child of two master assassins. A child that belonged to the Avengers.

"Uncle Steve? Auntie 'Ria?" She called in the deserted hallway, going from one empty room to the other calling for each member of her family. Even calling for a few of the guardians as well.

It was then, after checking the last room in that hallway, just before she was about to give up and head back to the detention level where Peter and Emily were, a voice stopped her in her tracks.

"Hello, Lilith."

Lilith slowly turned around to see a bald, blue skinned woman staring back at her with a cold glare. She had no idea who she was or how the woman knew her name, but she knew just from the looks of her that she wasn't friendly.

"You're coming with me."
