The campfire crackled around them as the group sat in silence, "do you think she'll kill him?" the blonde guy asked but the younger boy shook his head, "she's an avenger..."

"James... she almost killed you... she's not an avenger anymore."

The young boy sighed and nodded in response, the woman of the group suddenly threw her hands up to shush them "did you hear that?"

They all stood up defensively and grabbed their weapons, suddenly the door burst open with an electrical crackle and the female agent shot her gun without a second thought.

"Wait... it's me... it's me!" Hayward shouted taking cover behind the door, they dropped their guns and let out a breath of relief as Hayward strolled into the room with a knowing smile.

But James' eyes lingered on the doorway, he pointed his gun up and his hands started to shake as he watched Alyson step into view with an impatient face, "she's back" he yelled pulling everyone's attention to the door.

Alyson used her powers to knock the gun out of his hand and let out a sigh, "she's with me" Hayward said calmly putting his hand up at the girl so she wouldn't use any force on the group.

"I promised her we'd help her find her friend.." he said and they all let out an unpleasant groan whilst Aly smirked.

They drove toward's swords lab in the dead of night trying not to ring any alarm bells, most agents were out hunting down escapees from the prison, meaning people were after Hayward and quite possibly after Alyson as well if she'd been recognized.

They parked a few blocks back and got to work, Alyson brought down the building's alarm systems and security cameras whilst the other agents snuck inside, once she rejoined them again in the lab she let out an eye-roll at the scene in front of her; Dr. Lummings reuniting with Hayward.

"Okay, we haven't got all day hurry up and find her" she exhaled strolling over to the computers, Hayward nodded as his team all jumped on board and tried locating Wanda, using trackers to locate the dark hold's magical energy or to find traces of white Vision but they were coming up dry.

After about an hour of endless waiting, Alyson let out a groan and grabbed Hayward by the neck "you're stalling" she spat, he pulled the gun from his back pocket and pointed it up at her head.

Alyson's eyes widened as she let out a little laugh, "how long have you been waiting to do that?"

Hayward let a grin fall onto his lips, "a very long time."

They locked eyes for a second as the other agents in the room pulled out their own guns and aimed them at Alyson.

She let out a breath of air then threw her head forward colliding harshly with Hayward and forcing him to release a bullet, but it flew past her head.

She grunted as the sound rang through her ears painfully but held her palm up and threw a force field in front of herself to stop the oncoming bullets.

After a second her head stopped spinning and anger took over, her eyes started to burn an icy blue and her head tilted menacingly.
