Henry comes next because Discordchick asked for it :)
Henry Michael Barton
Henry left school and walked right into a job as a field agent for Shield. It was all he'd ever wanted to do, and he had to work really hard to convince both his parents, and Director of Shield Maria Hill, to let him. None of them were happy with the thought of him going into the kind of situations they'd been in themselves, but it was his life, and they couldn't stop him living it as he chose.
He had a natural gift with a bow and arrow (he had lots of practice as a child when he and Elijah used to 'borrow' his dads and sneak into the shooting range at the tower), and often used it as his weapon of choice, but also liked to used guns occasionally, having. He even helped train Alexis when she joined Shield a few years later.
Henry met Rebecca Carter when he was on an undercover mission with Alexis, trying to find a mole inside the FBI. The mole turned out to be Rebecca's boss, and Alexis had worked closely with her during their investigation. Following the conclusion of their mission she decided to introduce the pair properly.
Following the initial shock of learning their true identities, Rebecca learnt to trust the pair, and came to rely on them on more than one occasion in the future.
In the end, it was Rebecca who eventually asked Henry out on a date after he was too shy to ask her
Two years later he did work up the courage to propose, and the pair got married the day after Elijah and Danielle.
Karma really did come back round to haunt Henry when Rebecca found out she was pregnant with twin boys.
The pregnancy wasn't easy, so Henry took some time off missions to help her out; it was the first time he'd taken any time off since he'd joined Shield.
He only went on one mission during the whole pregnancy, and that was as part of the secondary rescue mission to bring his sister home.
The mission in question was supposed to be an easy one, but someone inside of Shield had betrayed the team and sold them out; they'd walked right into a trap. Alexis, her partner (Joe Dowler), their pilot (Aaron Simmons; Poppy's husband) and their handler (Zoe Summers) had been kidnapped, held captive and tortured.
The first rescue mission had failed, Shield lost three agents during that attempt, and by that point the team had been MIA for over a week.
The family were beside themselves with worry, with two of their own missing, Henry demanded to be sent in as part of the second team.
Luckily they made it through, but it was too late for Joe, Aaron and Zoe.
Henry carried Alexis back to the jet and refused to let go of his little sister until they made it back to medical, and didn't leave her side until she regained consciousness three days later.
Two weeks after she woke, on the day Alexis was finally discharged from the medical wing; Henry became a father.
His boys; Harry Nicholas and Lucas Alexander Barton were identical twins, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and the same mischievous grin as their father.
They got into more trouble than Henry and Elijah ever managed
