Shot Through the Heart (An Avengers Story)

Chapter 5

I walked through the maze of hallways to get to the control center where Fury was.

"Whatcha want, Patchy?"

"I want you to interrogate Loki."

"Why me though?" I said whining. I was not in the mood for this. "Besides, isn't Nat way better at this then me?"

"He knows you. You two interacted at the museum, right? See what else you can get him to tell you and then report back."

"Ugggggghhhhhh fine."

"Now off you go. Get changed and get down there soon before he gets too comfortable." And just like that, I walked out the door to change. Since I really didn't want to do this, I took it upon myself to stall a little bit and I knew just how to do that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Nat! Do you have any hair dye?" I shouted as I walked in her room.

"Yeah what color?" she answered walking out of her bathroom.

"Do you have green, blue, or purple?"

"I have all three. Which one do you want?"

"I'll take all three, thanks!" I said grabbing them and running out of her room to go dye my hair. As soon as I opened my door, I ran to my sink to start mixing the dye. Once they were done mixing, I applied the purple to the top, then the blue, and lastly the green on the bottom. While I was waiting for it to set, I couldn't help but stare at the picture of me and Clint. I really miss him. He was my first friend here at S.H.I.E.L.D. He helped me through my training here and through my emotional rollercoaster of life. He would listen to everything and be my shoulder to cry on. Don't get me wrong, Nat is a great friend and so are my girls back home, but they never had the same connection like Clint did. All of this thinking was making me upset, so I decided to call my step-brother. I pulled out my laptop and got on to Skype and luckily, Brendon was on too. I clicked on his name and called him.

"Hey little sis! I see you're changing hair colors again. What color this time?"

"Three actually: purple, blue, and green."

"Awesome. I can wait to see. So, hows it all going up there?"

"Okay. Nat's here. Other people showed up. Clint is under a mind control by an evil god from space. The usual." I giggled. Brendon has always been supportive of me. Even though we aren't related by blood, he acts as if we've known each other since we were born. That's what I love about him. Since he tours a lot, we don't get to talk much, but he got my band's music so much recondition that he decided to let us tour with him and Fall Out Boy and Twenty-one Pilots. He really is the best brother I could ask for.

"You behaving yourself up there," he saiid jokingly.

"Of course," I said sarcastically, "Well I gotta run. The hair dye is done and I need to get to work."

"Alright. Be safe. Love you."

"Love you too, Brendon. See ya." and with that I hung up and got to work taking this dye out. As soon as I had rinsed it out and dried it, I got dressed in my Favorite Harry Potter tank top, some white jeans, my black wedge booties, and my Dark Mark necklace that matches my tattoo on my arm. Then I was off to interrogate Ole Reindeer Games down in the detention level.

I was on my way down there when I saw Steve.

"Hey Cap."

"Oh hey, Annie. Where are you off too?"

"I have to go interrogate Loki," I said rolling my eyes.

"Good luck down there. Before you go though, what does 'Slytherin' mean?"

I giggled at his question. Did I also mention that I'm one of the biggest Harry Potter fans out there? Yeah I'm a pretty proud Slytherin. "That question will have to wait or if you would like to know sooner, ask Natasha. She can tell you everything," I said smiling. "I really need to get down to the detention level. I'll talk to you later."

"Okay see you later, Annie." I really have the feeling that even if I tried to explain what my shirt meant, it would have taken me all day. That's how dedicated I am. Okay. Off to the see the psychopath. I thought to myself as I walked away.

When I got there, I started to feel nervous. What if I let my guard down and he gets under my skin? What if I let a secret slip that could help Loki take over the world? What if, what if, what if is all I could think about and it was starting to bother me. Shut up! I can do this. And I walked through the door.

"You know, not many people can actually sneak up on me," he said still not facing me.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"What can I do for you Lady Annabeth?"

"For starters, that's not my name. It's Annie. Second, you can tell me what you did with Barton and why you need him so badly."

"Oh so you're the famous Annie that Barton has told me about"

"Clint talks about me?"

"Of course. All the time. He has told me everything about you. I know your secrets, your strengths, and your weaknesses. There is nothing you can hide from me."

I looked at him with a lot of terror, careful not to blow my cover. "How did you get him to tell you all of this?"

"I didn't. He told me himself. All I had to do was ask," he said with his signature smirk.

"He wouldn't! You're a monster!"

"Oh I'm not the monster."

"So, Banner. That's your play." I got him right where I want him. 10 points to Slytherin!

"What?"

I began to walk away as I spoke into my com. "Loki intends to unleash the Hulk. Keep Dr. Banner in the lab and don't anger him," I then turned back to the confused god, "Thank you for your cooperation." I winked and then left. Ok I hope Tony doesn't do something to piss off Bruce.

*So your author is a bad person. I said I was gonna update a LOOOONG time ago. I've been really busy with school and I needed to get some inspiration. Luckily I got some and now y'all got a chapter. Comment please. I wanna know what you all think and I'd love to hear any ideas you have. I'm very open to new things.
