A/N: Let me just say... I am sooo sorry for such a late update. I did not abandon this, I just didn't have the motivation to get back on my computer and write. Thank you everyone for all of the amazing reviews! You all make me want to continue my stories! A special thanks to GoodReadz for letting me bounce ideas off of her for this story! But enough of that... Let's get into this new chapter!

"I'll take a large black coffee please," Daisy states.

"Alrighty. If you just take a seat then someone will bring it over when it's ready!" the barista exclaimed. Daisy nodded in response before heading to a small table in the back of the coffee shop. She quietly sat down and pulled her laptop out of the backpack that was now covered in dirt from the fight in the alley. Daisy closes her eyes and takes a few deep breaths to calm her nerves. She's been on edge ever since she left the crappy hotel earlier that morning. After releasing another breath, the sound of footsteps drawing closer causes Daisy to open her eyes. The worker from earlier walks towards her and sets the coffee on the table along with a muffin.

"Uhh, I didn't order this.."

"You look like you could use it," the lady says with a wink, then she turned around and walked off without another word.

Daisy looked at the muffin with suspicion. No one has ever given her something for free out of kindness. She smiled to herself as she peeled back the wrapper and took a hesitant bite. The muffin was delicious, but she didn't have time to enjoy the flavor any longer if she wanted to survive. Daisy shook her head to clear her mind and she opened up her computer. It was time to get to work.

Tony walks into the common room to see his fellow Avengers lounging around. Clint and Sam were in the middle of what looked to be an intense match of Mario Kart, Bruce was sitting on a recliner reading, Natasha seemed to be attempting to explain how Mario Kart worked to Thor, and Steve was in the kitchen whipping up some sandwiches for everyone for lunch.

"Who broke something? Jarvis sent me another alert," Tony announces. "Did Capsicle break the toaster again?"

"Seriously Stark? Did you even look at what the alert said?" Steve responds.

Clint looks up from the now paused game, "He never looks at the alerts. Tony thinks that Jarvis will speak to him directly if the situation is bad enough."

"Because he will," Tony brags. "Jarvis is top of the line, as are all of my creations."

Natasha coughs to cover up a laugh. "Until they explode," she whispers to Clint. He starts laughing as well then stands up and walks over to Tony, slapping him on the shoulder.

"Might want to check that alert just in case," he chuckles. Clint walked into the kitchen and reached for a sandwich from the stack only for Steve to smack his hand away. Grumbling, Clint grabs a soda from the fridge and returns to his seat. Tony walks over to the other recliner and sits down. He grabs the spare tablet off of the coffee table and pulls up the notification from Jarvis.

"Jarvis back up all important files to the Mark XLII as quick as possible!" Tony shouts as he jumps out of his seat and runs towards the labs.

Thor looks up from the game to ask, "Where has the Man of Iron run off to?" Clint shrugs and goes back to playing his game with Sam.

"Jarvis, can you give us an update?" Natasha asks.

After thirty seconds and no response, Bruce speaks up. "Jarvis?" he asks. Jarvis still doesn't respond and Bruce gives Natasha a worried look. She quickly stands up and starts toward the lab to find Tony. It doesn't take long for Bruce and the others to follow because Stark isn't one to freak out over small security issues, but Jarvis not working is worrisome. The team arrives at the lab to find Tony frantically typing on his holotable.

"Tony!" Natasha shouts. He glances up for a split second before ignoring her and returning to typing. "Stark!" she growls again. "What the hell is going on? Why isn't Jarvis working?"

Tony continues to type without losing speed when he speaks up. "Someone hacked into my servers and was trying to gain access to our mission reports. They shut down Jarvis before he could warn me. He was just barely able to send me the alert before they shut him down. Whoever this guy is, they're good. I was able to boot them from my servers, but I'm having trouble tracing the hack."

"Were they looking for anything specific?" Clint asks.

"As far as I can tell, they were searching for information on a specific Hydra agent. It looks like they deleted the file, but I should be able to recover it once I get Jarvis up and running again."

"How might we be of assistance?" Thor responded.

Tony turns to look at him. "Unless you can reprogram a highly sophisticated artificial intelligence system, I don't think that there is much you can do. Just go eat lunch, but save me a few sandwiches. Pepper yells at me when I don't eat and I can't handle that kind of pressure after this hack today."

The team nods at him then they all head back to the kitchen, but Natasha stays behind. Tony turns back to the holotable and continues working on Jarvis.

"How'd they get past your security? It's the best in the world," she says.

"I don't know," he mutters. "But I plan on finding out."

Daisy puts her computer back in her backpack and stands up. She finished her coffee and muffin a couple hours ago, but had to stay until the hack was finished. It wasn't a complicated hack, however there was a lot of maneuvers involved in covering her trail. Daisy hoped that she didn't miss any steps or else the Avengers would be onto her. The plan she had come up with was hard enough without them knowing who she was. If her face got out to the Avengers or the public then she wouldn't last a day.

After a quick stretch, Daisy nods at the kind woman that took notice of her. The barista gave a small wave and smile before heading back to work. Daisy left the small coffee shop and headed back out onto the streets of New York City. She couldn't move forward unless she looked professional, so she needed a change of clothes.

"Time to go shopping."
