Chapter 1
Claire's POV

It was cold, the kind of cold that could hardly be ignored. I was trying my hardest to think of anything but the cold. I was watching the hydra base below me trying to focus on any movement, it was almost completely destroyed. It had been blown up only minutes before settling into my place up on the rocks surrounded by snow and trees. Making sure no one came out and no one tried to go in was the new priority for the next few hours.

This was the 5th base I had found and destroyed single handedly in the last few months. They each took a decent amount of time to not only to find but also to learn the layout of and schedules they had in place. This base had actually been one of the easiest so far. I knew when the guards swapped shifts and where the easiest places were to sneak into. I had actually been to this base before. Escorted inside a few years ago against my will from another hydra base. I hadn't been there long at all. More like a parade from one hydra base to the next so they could show off what they had done to me, the powers I had.

Just as I was still trying so hard to not think about how cold it undeniably was,  there was a noise, something approaching, no someone. Voices could be heard, multiple voices, they were whispering but I could hear their words carried on the wind that I could wrap my fingers around and bend to my will. I knew the location I was in was safe for now. I just had to stay and watch.

Who are you?

The group walked through the snow towards the base looking like they were ready to attack or be attacked. They were quick but quiet, they had a presence yet at the same time were well hidden. they knew what they were doing by the looks of it. When they reached the crest of the hill and looked down they seemed shocked.
What? What happened here? They questioned. I couldn't help but wonder why they were even here.

Are they with Hydra?

They certainly didn't look like it. And then I could see them more clearly, The Avengers. Of course I knew who they were, everyone did. They must have come here to take over the base. I had actually been beating them to a lot of hydra bases lately but I had never actually seen them. it was usually a few days later they would normally find the carnage I had left behind. 

"I don't understand, they are always destroyed when we show up" "I like that the work is already done for us" "does fury know who's doing this?" "Come on there's nothing left for us to do here let's get out of the cold and go home".

I couldn't tell who out of the group each comment belonged to but I could clearly hear the voices.
Just as they had said, they all turned around and made their way back to where they had come from this time not as quietly.

It was almost amusing that me of all people had beaten the avengers to the fight, finished that fight and left them completely dumbfounded when they showed up. I nearly chucked out loud to myself. Almost. Not wanting to give away my position and identity. As I sat there amused I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder.

How had I not sensed there was someone there earlier?

I was not scared in the split second it took me to turn around swiftly. Whoever it was I knew I could hold my own so I wasn't worried. What worried me the most was that somehow I didn't hear them approach like I normally would.  There were two people in this world I didn't want to see but I knew one day one or both of them would eventually find me. And one of them stood looking at me right now. It was Fury. Director of shield. I knew he had been watching me for a while now, studying me. I just didn't know why. But I had been avoiding him like the plaque, worried that he was watching me to arrest me or hide me away somewhere.
