Chapter 2
The Helicarrier was even more impressive inside. With its many windows and staff acting like bees in a hive, Eve was just amazed.
''Gentlemen and Lady.'' Said the director. Meanwhile, the thief saw Captain Rogers give a ten to Fury and could not help the smirk that appeared on her lips, happy to see that she was not the only one impressed.
''Doctor.'' Said the director. ''Thank you for coming''
''Thanks for asking nicely... So! How long am I staying?'
''Once we get our hands on the Tesseract...''
Seeing that the discussion did not need her, Eve looked at Rogers. He was easily a six feet tall man and despite his somewhat old school clothes, she could see that the man was muscular. To say he was frail... Her observation was quickly cut off by Agent Coulson explaining the development of the researches.
''Do you analyze in real time?'' She asked.
''Absolutely. We have no time to lose.''
''That's still not gonna find them in time.'' Romanoff added, crouched in front of a screen.
Eve was thinking. How could they speed up the research process if they do not even know where to look? The Earth was rather big when we're looking for one person ...
''Adams?... ADAMS!''
''Y..yes Fury?!''
''I assume you and the Captain have met?'' Well if a nod is getting acquainted, then yes...
''Sort of...''
''Captain Steve Rogers, this is Eve Adams or The Ghost. She's our expert in infiltration.''
''A spy?'' asked the soldier.
''More like a thief.'' said the woman.
''So, we need the help from some young outlaw? How old are you ma'am? Twenty?''
''Let say twenty-five and don't worry Rogers. I'll be a good girl.''
She could not help herself but laugh when she saw the discouragement appear on the director's face.
''Captain'' said Fury. ''She's on your team. And Adams? Try to be helpful .''
It was after a moment of awkward silence that Eve decided to go to meet the man named Coulson. After only a few minutes of discussion that she was completely charmed. This is after noticing the officer throwing a few furtive glances towards the soldier that she decided to take things in her hand.
''Go talk to him.'' She said in a whisper.
''Who?''
''Oh don't do that with me Agent Coulson! You're fangirling right now.''
''Do you think he'll agreed to sign my cards?''
''Cards?'' What the hell he's talking about?
''My Captain America card collection. They're vintage.''
She had to hold hard for not laughing. The man was so proud.
''Agent Coulson go talk to the man''.
A smile appeared on the lips of the thief when she heard the agent ask for an autograph. Smile that quickly disappears when she saw Fury coming toward her.
''When we know where Loki is. I want you with Rogers.''
''You want me in the fight?''
''No, I want you to be the thief you are''.
''So when the fight start between the Super-Soldier and the crazy guy, you want me to steal something?''
''Not something, but more like someone. Listen. If Loki is somewhere this mean that Barton's with him and I want you to take him out of Loki's reach.''
Oh Lord, she thought. I HATE when I have to do that... It always end with a fight.
She could not add something else since they were interrupted by an agent announcing they had a correspondence from Germany.
''Captain, Ghost. You're up.''

She was wearing only black. Her trousers, her gloves and even her leather jacket. She looked like a shadow and that was the purpose. She has combed her hair in a complex braid and when she saw herself in the mirror, she knew that Eve Adams had disappeared to make way for The Ghost.
''Adams'' It was the Captain's voice. ''We're leaving''.
For only answer she opened the door of her quarters before disappearing down the hall followed by the soldier.
''We need to talk about the plan.'' He said.
''I'm listening.''
''I want you to tell me everything when you're inside. I want to know if you're in trouble.''
''You know it's not my first rodeo right?''
''Maybe, but I never work with you before.''
They walked in silence for a while before being joined by the Black Widow who told them the path to take to reach the hangar.
''These goggles.'' Asked Rogers pointing what the thief had on her head.''They are S.H.I.E.L.D's equipment?''
''Nope.'' She answered with a smirk. ''They are military''.
''So.. you're an ex soldier?''
''No.''
''So how did you...''
''She stole them Captain.'' Said the Russian.
He looked surprised. If she actually succeeded in stealing military equipment, she had to be good in what she was doing. Natasha took advantage of the silence to inform them that Eve will be there fifteen minutes before them. She had to identify Barton and inform them of any movement. It was now or never.

As expected, she was at the place fifteen minutes before Natasha and Steve make their entrance. Without wasting a second she walked to the alleyway behind the building. There was no way she was going through the main had to be discreet. She quietly opened what appeared to be the delivery door and found herself in the kitchen's larder.
''Captain? Do you copy?'' She asked in the microphone situated in her sleeve.
''Five by Five''
''I'm inside. Give me two minutes and I'll be on the top floor''.
Well... Time to be invisible. Without wasting a second she walked along the wall on her left to pass through a door that led to the kitchens. Two cooks were in the room. In a silent movement, she found herself behind the first. Seeing that he had not felt her presence and that he had even less heard her, The Ghost took the opportunity to quickly knock the guy out with a good punch behind the head. Always enjoying the inattention of the second cook, the thief knock him out too. She was proud when she saw the time on her watch. Less than 55 seconds, almost a record.
''Kitchen clear.''
Seeing that she had nothing to do anymore in the cuisine, she decided to borrow the door of the waiters to find herself in the place where the guests were.
''Holy cow'' she said outloud.
''You see something?''
''Sorry Cap' it's just... Do you know how many people would kill for this amount of marble?''
''No I don't and it's not the mission. Focus.''
Right...right... Replacing the hood of her jacket on her head, she rushed into a small staircase leading to the second floor. When she reached it, she activated the thermal vision of her goggles. She was surprised to find only one person on the floor and it was definetly not Barton.
''Loki is on the second floor! I repeat, Loki is on the second floor'''
''Do you see Barton'' This time, it was Natasha who was asking.
''He's not with him right now. Loki seem to be alone''.
To be certain of what she just claimed, Eve made a quick scan of the guests in the room. No trace of Barton.
''No trace of Barton, I'm sorry.'' Meanwhile, Loki began to descend the stairs leading directly to the man who had just started a speech.
''He's moving guys!''
''What he is doing? I want to know everything Ghost !'' She could feel the stress in the voice of the soldier.
''He comes down the central staircase ... He smiles like a psycopath. Okay I focus. He just attacked a security guard with a stick and.. OH MY GOD!''
Her blood froze. He's a mad man.
''Ghost what is going on? ... Ghost?''
''He just stab the eye of a man! In front of everybody! Oh God he's smiling! Captain I need you right now !''
''Okay, take a deep breath. I want you to search the others rooms, maybe Barton is hiding somewhere. If I need you, I will tell you. ''
Taking a deep breath like she was told to do, she took a second and come out of her hiding place.
''Captain?''She said with a confidant voice.
''Yes?''
''He's moving toward the exit.''
Barton was not there. She had searched all the rooms and all the closets. Loki was alone. It had been almost five minutes since the last communication with Rogers and she did not like that. Worried, she decided to follow the same path as Loki. What she saw made her speechless. Iron man had just made his first appearance.

They were in the Quinjet for nearly ten minutes and the tension was palpable.
''I don't like it.'' Said Rogers.
''What? Rock of Ages giving up so easily? '' Said Tony Stark.
''I don't remember it being that easy. This guy packs a wallop. ''
While the two men discussed, Eve watched the pseudo-god. He was calm, too calm, but he listened to the discussion.
''You know he's listening... right?'' She said.
''Excuse me, but who are you again?'' Asked Stark.
''Eve Adams or The Ghost. Choose the one you like the most.''
''You're the little bastard who stole my X-12 prototype!''
''Not now Tony!'' Said Romanoff.
They were interrupted by the sudden sound of thunder and seeing Loki reaction, it did not seem to appreciate it.
''What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?'' Asked Rogers to the prisoner.
''I'm not overly fond of what follows.''
''Like what? Rain?'' Eve added.
At the same time something fell heavily on the jet's roof. When Iron Man opened the door to see what it was, a man took the opportunity to enter and take Loki. In less than 10 seconds they had left.
''Stark! We need a plan of attack!'' Cried the Captain when he saw that Tony was going to follow them.
''I have a plan. Attack.'' And he was gone...
Remember when she said that it will be fun to have a solo player in the team? Well scratch that. It was not fun. Not fun at all.
