Monsters

If you're up tonight I'll search through the darkness to find you

I've arranged for the moon to guide you from here on out.

The stars will act as your nigh defense.

The sun comes in when the evening ends.

And while I journey through the closet where the monsters live,

I swear that I'll be back again.

Stepping through the door of the helicarrier gave Becca a different feel from the last time she was there. Those few months ago when herself and Natasha were fighting against Clint without knowledge of it. The difference now was first off it was actually filled with workers this time and second they were fighting against Clint but this time he didn't know it.

Glancing over her shoulder, Becca found Steve and Bruce still following Natasha and herself, but their eyes were drawn to one element after another. There was always a lot to take in when SHIELD was involved. The quad followed the path through the interlocking doors towards the Bridge where the control room of the aircraft with stationed. They each split off on their own in the rather large room. Becca took the opportunity to go to the audio controllers, and grabbed her own in-ear to understand everything that was going on.

"All systems operating." Agent Maria Hill announced from her control station. "SHIELD Emergency Protocol 193.6 in effect. We are at level, sir."

Director Fury nodded, standing on his platform at the center of the bridge. Able to keep an eye on everything around him. "Good. Let's vanish."

"Engage retro-reflection panels." Hill commanded the needed agents. At that the Helicarrier became camouflage in the sky. No one being able to locate them.

Nick Fury finally turned around to greet the newest edition. "Gentlemen." He nodded to Steve and Bruce.

Steve, who had been looking around in awe since he stepped foot on the carrier, pulled out of ten dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to the Director. Clearly something between the two of them that no one else understood. He noticed Becca's raised eyebrow at the interaction and just shook his head for her.

"Doctor, thank you for coming." Fury walked over to truly try to make Bruce welcome here, with a handshake and all.

The Doctor hesitated but shook his hand anyways. "Thanks for asking nicely." The man clearly had no desire to be here but he was doing it anyways. "So, um...how long am I staying?"

"Once we get our hands on the Tesseract, you're in the wind."

"Where are you with that?"

Fury pointed to Coulson, letting him explain. "We're sweeping every wirelessly accessible camera on the planet. Cell phones, laptops." Coulson crossed his arms, head turning to all the Agents sitting in front of them who was currently working on it. "If it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us."
