Agent Hill

Hill was standing behind Fury as the Helicarrier leveled out finally. She was worried about Barnes, she knew he could take care of himself. She pushed him from her mind, but Fury shoved it back in.

"You're telling me that Barnes sabotaged the helicarrier and killed a scientist" Fury said to one of the agents reporting to him

"Yes sir, it's on video" the agent said handing an I-pad to him.

Fury took it and he looked at the screen and he watched as the video showed Barnes setting charges on one of the power cells. Fury replayed the video again and he thought he saw something. The feed jumped forward as if something was put in front of it as Barnes began to walk toward the power cell. It showed him stand in front of the power cell then it jumped again and it showed Bucky run away. Fury felt like it was iffy. He frowned and he looked at the agent.

"Get out of here" Fury said

"Yes sir" the agent said and hurried away

Hill watched as he walked past her, she noticed that he was sweating profusely. She frowned at him and she turned her attention toward a tech on one of the consoles and she saw that he was sweating to. She had a funny feeling.

"Hill, do you think that Barnes could have done this?" Fury asked turning toward her

"Could he have, yes, but he wouldn't" Hill said

"How can you be so sure?" Fury said slightly agreeing with her

"Barnes, gave no behavior as hostile to us"

"True, but he could have been playing us"

"Sir, he looked just as surprised by Niko's name as we did. I've seen a fake surprised face, it lasts to long. Bucky's face was surprised for a millisecond and then he seemed like he was remembering something and he looked angry"

"When did you start calling him Bucky?" Fury asked

Hill opened her mouth to speak, but she was lost for words.

"Hill, is there something I should know about you and Barnes?" Fury asked

"What? No sir, just I have grown to trust him" Hill said slightly uncomfortable

"I'm going to go through this video myself and find out why it seems off" Fury said walking away

Hill exhaled as he walked away, she looked at the other techs and they seemed normal, but why did one of them look like they were doing something they shouldn't be?

Fury walked into his office and he sat down at his desk and he plugged a few things into the I-pad. He pressed a few buttons and he tapped the screen a few times and he sifted through the footage. He sat there for what seemed like hours and he had found nothing. Fury wanted to believe that Barnes didn't do it, but the footage was slowly converting him.

Fury exhaled and he sat back in his chair and he rubbed his eyes. He glanced at the side of the screen and he noticed that the footage wiggled around the edge as if it was a cover of the other footage. Fury leaned forward and he put his hand to his chin and pondered at it. He pressed button and it gave him an option that shouldn't have been there, if the video was real. He saw an option for delete edited version. Fury frowned and he pressed delete.

The real footage came up and it showed Hill sitting on a power cell and she had her head lowered and she seemed upset. Then he saw Barnes slowly walk into the view and he saw Barnes slightly hesitate walking forward. The audio wasn't there, but he saw Barnes walk in front of Hill and he began talking to her. He made her chuckle and then Hill's face got serious again and Fury saw something that made his eyes widened.

Barnes and Hill started to kiss, and Barnes seemed hesitant and then he brought her into an embrace and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Fury was tempted to turn off the video, then they both stopped kissing and Hill answered her communicator. Barnes lightly chuckled and he had Hill's suit have unzipped.

Fury turned off the video as he watched Hill walk away from Barnes. He sat back in his chair and he figured that he should talk to Hill, but not now. Fury found another view of a camera, but this time it was a more recent entry. The audio was live on this one and the footage showed Barnes talking to agent Hansen.

"You're the mole" Barnes said

"Niko wanted to take down the Avengers, and with Fury busy hunting you…"

Fury turned off the video and he sat back in his chair. Agent Hansen was dead, wasn't he? Fury stood up and he walked to the door of his office and he heard a loud thump on the door. Fury knew what it was and he ran and dove over his desk and hit the floor. The doors blew open and men in dark operator suits came in and fired.

Fury stayed low as bullets made dents in the walls and papers were thrown into the air. Fury grabbed his pistol under his desk and he cocked it back. He heard them reload and Fury popped out of cover and fired. He hit three and they were down, two were still left and they fired again. The gunfire stopped abruptly and Fury almost stood up and was about to fire again.

"I want this thing in the water" Niko said

"Yes sir"

"Fury, it's so said that half of your agents are in my pocket"

"It's happened before" Fury said and he blind fired his pistol and he knew he hit someone. He heard a body hit the floor with a thump.

"Let's go, we have our prize, and I want to deal with her as soon as possible"

"Hey boss, do we get to have a round with her?"

"Of course, I'll let you soften her up for me" Niko said and he chuckled

Fury had a funny feeling that he was talking about Romanoff. Fury stood up and he fired again and he shot the other soldier who asked Niko the question. Blood splattered against the wall and Niko shit Fury twice in the chest. Fury fell to the floor and Niko chuckled and walked away.

Fury coughed and he sat up. He groaned and he pulled two bullets out of his vest.

"I'm never taking you off again" Fury said

Hill heard gunfire and she saw Niko walk across a hallway and disappear around a corner. Hill pulled out her gun and ran forward. She rounded the corner and she could see Niko's back. Hill aimed and fired and hit his two last soldiers and then him. Niko stopped and he chuckled. He turned and he slowly tilted his head as he looked at her.

"Hill, isn't this a surprise" Niko said and he was holding a pistol in his hand

Hill had her gun aimed at his face and she fired.

Niko dodged the bullet and fired and the bullet whizzed through the air and grazed Hill's ribs. Hill gasped as she felt it sting and she fired again. Niko took this one in the shoulder and the bullet fell to the floor making a ping.

"I came prepared, Hill I would love to chat and maybe take you with me, but I have a pretty red head at home waiting for me. I don't want to keep her waiting, chow" Niko said and walked away and the Helicarrier shook violently and Hill smacked into the wall. Her gun fell away from her and she stood up.

Fury stumbled out of his office and he saw Hill standing at the end of the hall. Hill looked over and saw him, she ran toward him and she grabbed his arm and put it over her shoulder.

"Niko's here" Fury said

"I know" Hill said and she grimaced as her wound slightly pulled.

"We need to get off this thing" Fury said

"I whole heartedly agree" Hill said and they headed for the hangar.

"Niko had people on the inside the entire time, who knew the same thing could happen twice" Fury said

"Yeah, well let's just make sure it's not a third time"

They made it to the hangar and most of the Quinjets were gone. Hill saw one left and then she saw Niko step out of it. He smiled and blew her a kiss and the Quinjet lifted off the ground and flew away. Hill couldn't see anymore and she turned around and they walked toward the stairs. Hill opened the door and Fury walked slowly behind her and he followed her up to the flight deck.

"Hill, I don't think there is a jet that seats two" Fury said

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it" Hill said

Hill and Fury came to the door that led to the outward deck and she kicked the door open and fire was all over the deck and the Helicarrier was heading toward the ocean. Hill looked at Fury and he looked at her.

"Well, that ended well" Fury said

"Things happen sir"

"Yeah, but twice. Rogers may be right, S.H.I.E.L.D. should not be around"

"So what, you going to retire in a cottage in the country?" Hill asked teasingly

"Ha, if it was that easy, I would have done that a long time ago. No I just need to take the back seat and let things go and ride them out"

"Well, then it's all the Avengers"

"Maybe that's why I should do this. You should help them, give Rogers whatever help you can"

"What about you?"

"Oh, you know I'll come in when I'm needed" Fury said "That is if we get off this thing" Fury said looking at all the destruction.

Hill looked around and the water was getting closer and soon this thing was going to be shattered. Hill honestly thought this was going to be the last day she was going to be alive. Hill saw something out of the corner of her eye and it was a Quinjet and it was flying toward them.

Fury looked at it "Well who could that be?"

The Quinjet slowed and hovered over them and slowly lowered and the back ramp opened and a man with a metal arm stood above them.

"You just going to stand there?" Bucky asked

Bucky put his hand out and Fury grabbed it and he pulled him up. Fury stood up and walked into the Quinjet and took a seat. Bucky put his hand out and Hill jumped and he caught her. He pulled her up and she was looking at him.

"Yeah, I know I lied about not coming back, just forgive me already"

Hill stood up and Bucky face her and she kissed him. Bucky had his hand on her waist and they came apart and Bucky smiled and he followed her into the Quinjet. He took a seat in the pilot seat and he flew the Quinjet high into the air and he set it to auto pilot. He turned around and he looked at Fury.

"Thanks Barnes" Fury said

"Well, we have a job to do. Niko has Natasha and we have a plan slowly coming together to get her back"

"What about Rogers?" Fury asked

"We pissed him off, and know he is helping us. He is following his own lead and he will contact us when he has a location."

"Well, who do we have?" Fury asked

"Well, Steve, Clint, Morse, Me, and now you and Hill" Bucky said

"What about the other Avengers?" Hill asked

"Well, we have them to, but they are standing by if we need back up" Bucky said

"What kind of lead is Rogers pursuing?" Fury asked

Bucky looked back out of the window and the sun was coming up over the horizon.

"I have no idea" Bucky said

Clint

Clint was standing is the bar that he and Morse first met and he saw her walk in. he stood up and he welcomed her and they both sat down at the table.

"What's up Barton?" Morse asked

"We need your help" Clint said

"We?"

"Yeah, me and Bucky. Niko had Natasha and we need to get her back" Clint said

"Just you and Barnes?"

"No we have Steve with us to, Rogers"

"Oh"

"Bucky just sent me a message that he has Hill and Fury as well"

"How did that happen?"

"Well, Niko just blew up the helicarrier and also the S.H.I.E.L.D was another fake, funny how the same problem can arise twice" Clint said

"Yeah hilarious" Morse said

"So, you in or are you out?" Clint asked

Morse was silent for a while and then she looked at him.

"I'm in"
