The Avengers headed back to their tower. Maven was still thinking about what Peter said to him. It upset him. Maven hated that they still thought he was just a HYDRA construct.

It made him hurt. He was more than just a construct. Maven was just upset that not everyone knew that. But he knew it. And his friends knew it Which relaxed Maven slightly. But Peter was Pietro and Wanda's father...It hurt Maven's brain to think about it. Peter was Pietro and Wanda's father so it kinda made him Maven's father..

Maven's brain began to ache again. Maven put his head on Pietro's shoulder. Pietro smiled at him. They boarded the Avenge-Jet and flew off. Maven rested in a chair, feeling sleepy. He drifted off to sleep.

Maven awoke a while later, back in the Tower. He sat up and blinked. Maven slid out of the bed and headed to the dining room. Maven found the other Avengers, along with SHIELD, in the dining room. "Good morning Maven," Wanda greeted. "Morning," Maven mumbled, thinking about what Peter had said to him.

Wanda and Clint went off to "train" while Pietro went for a run. Stark and Banner headed to the lab and Steve and Natasha to their room. Maven was left with Coulson and his team.

Being alone with a group of SHIELD agents made Maven nervous. "Okay Maven. Spill. What's wrong?" May finally asked. "Am I just a HYDRA construct?" Maven blurted out, "Pietro and Wanda's father said I was and in a weird way he's my father...is he right?"

There was silence as his words sunk in. "No. You are more than just a construct," Daisy said firmly. Maven still looked down. "Maven. You. Aren't. A. Construct," Jade said, "And if you want, I will kick his a** for saying that to you."

Maven stared at her. "Thank you. But no," Maven said. "Still shouldn't have called you that," Jade muttered. The team all exchanged looks. "How...How IS he alive..." Daisy wondered.

"Hey. I was dead but now I'm alive," Hunter pointed out "He has a point," Takeda agreed. "They're right," Jade sighed. "Did you just say that I'm right?" Takeda teased.

"Shut up," Jade muttered, her tone not angry though. "Admit it. You missed me," Takeda said. Jade surprised him by giving her brother a hug, "Yeah. I did...I nearly killed Pietro." "You what?!" Takeda cried.

"I nearly killed Pietro," Jade admitted, "And also was a completely and utter b*tch to Maven." "It's fine," Maven reached up to pat the top of her head. It was a rather hilarious sight, especially since Maven was actually a few inches shorter than Pietro, making him shorter than Jade.

What made it even more hilarious and adorable was the childlike look on Maven's face. Takeda snapped a photo of it, to use as blackmail later on. Maven started to play with her hair, entertained by it.

Jade swatted his hand away and gave him a stern glare. Maven smiled innocently at her.

A few hours later, Maven was outside again. He was getting some fresh air, bored from being locked up all day. He watched as a black SUV drove up and a bald man got out.

The man approached Maven. "May I help you?" Maven asked innocently. "There have been some recent reports about disturbances in this area. May we talk to you?" The man asked. Maven eyed him suspiciously.

"Fine," Maven begrudgingly agreed. A black bag was promptly shoved over his head, blinding him. "What the hell!" Maven yelled. "You joining us," a female voice said before Maven felt rope being tied around his mouth area.

Something pricked the back of Maven's neck and he passed out.

Maven awoke a while later, all tied up. In addition to being tied up, Maven had a cloth shoved into his mouth. He twisted and turned, trying to get free. Maven couldn't get free, though.

Rosalind Price entered. "What is your name?" Rosalind asked, undoing the gag. "What's yours?" Maven snarled back. "I asked first," Rosalind replied. Maven shrugged, "Not telling you."

Rosalind glared at him. Maven grinned cheekily back. Rosalind placed the gag back over Maven's mouth and walked out. "He knows how he was created, find out using any means necessary" Rosalind said to Banks.

Banks nodded, "If SHIELD has him, think of who else they could have." "Exactly what I'm going to ask Coulson about," Rosalind replied.

Back at the Avengers tower, Pietro was losing his mind. Maven was missing. Again. Pietro paced around the Tower. "Maven is missing!" Pietro cried. He continued to pace. "Who could've taken him?!" Pietro mused.

Coulson walked in at that moment. "Rosalind Price is visiting in fifteen minutes," he told his team. "What for, sir?" Daisy asked. "I don't know. Roz said she has a few things she wants to talk to me about," Coulson said.

Cassie gagged. "Who's Roz?" Takeda asked. "Rosalind Price. She's kinda-sorta DC's girlfriend and in charge of the Advanced Threat Containment Unit..." Daisy said, trailing off, "DC, could she feel they are 'advanced threats'?" She nodded to Cassie, Jade, and Takeda.

"That...I am not sure..." Coulson said, frowning. "Why would we be an 'advanced threat'?" Takeda wondered. "You're half mutant" Cassie stated. "That makes sense," Takeda nodded.

"Well if Price thinks she's gonna be getting either of you, she's wrong," Bobbi stated. Jade patted her cheek, "You are quite protective." Bobbi blushes slightly as Rosalind Price entered.

"Phil," Rosalind greeted. "Roz. It is so good to see you," Coulson said warmly, embracing her. "I see you have some new additions," Rosalind noted.

"What is it you came here for?" Daisy asked bluntly. "SHIELD has a clone. We brought him in," Rosalind stated. "Another clone?" Daisy asked. "There's two?" Rosalind asked.

"Just one we know of, Maven" "Well we have one who was found right outside of this building." "Who does he look like?" Rosalind pointed at Pietro, "Him...but shorter."

Pietro froze. "You have my brother!" He yelled. "Brother? He's a clone," Rosalind said, emphasizing the word 'clone', "He can't be your brother." Wanda glared and said" He has the same DNA as Pietro so they're brothers"

"Because he's a clone," Rosalind pointed out, "Who created him anyway?" "HYDRA" Rosalind turned to stare at Coulson, "You have a clone created by HYDRA working for you? What else do you have working for you, mutants?"
