Fury's car pulled up to a house where Hawkeye and Black Widow were waiting. They stood at the door and watched as Fury slowly got out of his car. They noticed the holes in his coat and that he was bleeding. In his hand was a sword.

"What happened?" Natasha asked.

She didn't let him speak. She ran to his side and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Laura," Clint called to his wife. "Get the first-aid kit and send the kids up stairs."

He raced to help Natasha bring Nick into the house. They brought him into the living room and had him sit on the couch. Nick placed the sword on the ground, out of sight. Laura hurried into the room and handed Natasha the first-aid kit.

"Can I get you anything?" Laura asked.

"A glass of water," Nick said.

"Make that two," Natasha said.

Laura walked into the kitchen to get the drinks. Natasha began to clean up Nick's wounds.

"What happened to you, Fury?" Clint asked.

"I was attacked," Nick replied.

"By who?"

Laura came in and handed out the waters. She sat next to her husband and took his hand.

"I don't know," Nick said. "She never said a word."

"Most attackers don't," Natasha said, "that is unless they enjoy insulting people."

"But I don't think that was the case. She was carrying this, though."

He lifted the sword off the ground and held it out for them to see. Natasha tied off the bandage and closed the first-aid kit. Clint took the weapon from Nick's hand. He looked it over.

"I've never seen this sword before," he said. He handed the sword back. "Your attacker could have worked for any number of people."

"That's what worries me," Nick said. "I was able to get a picture of her before she fled."

He pulled out a tablet and set in on the table. He reached into his coat and pulled out a cartridge from his gun. He inserted it into the tablet. A file opened which held a photo. Nick tapped on it, enlarging the picture. The others gathered around to see better.

"That's her," Nick said.

"She doesn't look much older than eighteen or nineteen," Black Widow said.

"What do you want us to do about her?" Clint asked.

"I want you to find her, find out who she is, and where she came from," Fury said.
