They'd been looking through paperwork, mission reports and SHIELD documents for hours and felt like they were getting nowhere. Clint and (eventually) Natasha slept on the sofa, but the other three worked on throughout the night; determined to make some progress into finding Nazari.

"So, this is what we have so far; Nat and Clint took out Arvin; Nazari's son-in-law. Nazari's daughter then killed her son and committed suicide, which is why Nazari is after them. Yates was framed as Arvin's informant, when infact it was Gabriel. Gabriel murdered Yates and has been missing for about six months, he passed information to Nazari who then spread stories of a meeting with an arms dealer in the hope to draw Nat and Clint out; which worked, and then he tried to kill them..." Tony summarised for them, rubbing at his forehead in tired frustration.

"Sounds about right" Bruce muttered tiredly from his chair.

"But how..?" Steve asked from his perch on the sofa.

"That's what we still need to figure out"

"Anyone want some coffee?" Bruce asked, standing from his chair, stretching and heading towards the kitchen area.

Both men still working answered with the expected "yes" as Steve's phone began ringing;

"Rogers"

"Captain Rogers, its Agent Hill. We really need you to come in; all of you"

"Why? What's happened?"

"Nazari made an appearance"

"Here in New York? That was quick!"

"Tell me about it! He left us a file; It's something you all need to see"

"Nat and Clint are sleeping, and I'm starting to need some shut eye myself..."

"Send in Stark and Banner then, you three rest up. Something tells me it's going to be another long day"


Bruce drove him and Tony (already suited up) towards the SHIELD office trying to stifle a yawn. Tony was still flicking through the SHIELD archive Natasha had opened on the tablet for him.

The two men were used to working all day and night; fatigue was something both of them were accustomed to. But the level of worry and anxiety had drained them both. Bruce was hopeful whatever Nazari had left at SHIELD would be useful and help wrap this whole mess up. He wouldn't feel truly relaxed until this was sorted and his team was safe.

When they arrived Coulson was waiting to take them up to the conference room where Fury and Hill were looking through the file Nazari had left.

Spread across the large table were photos; Clint and Natasha outside of SHIELD HQ, Natasha and Tony in Central Park, Clint and Steve eating lunch in a cafe, Bruce and Natasha leaving the tower... Surveillance images of all the Avengers, along with several SHIELD agents; focused around Natasha and Clint over the past several months. There was press clippings and handwritten notes, there was even a DVD included which showed security footage from the foyer of the tower. Even copies of their SHIELD personnel files were included. Nazari had done his research, he'd set them up well and obviously had more people on his payroll than they'd though.

Tony and Bruce were sent to scour the streets of New York for Nazari, while Coulson and Hill drove over to the tower to brief the others. But when they got there, something was obviously wrong...
