The quinjet soared above the clouds on the way back to the Avengers headquarters in New York.

The sound of soft opera music was playing through the headphones of Bruce Banner.

Rebecca Everly sat next to Anthony Higgins with her head on his chest listening to the sound of his heart beat.

Jack and David stood together in the corner quietly talking.

Tony Stark was flying the jet.

Clint Barton laid on the table with a hole in his side.

Spot stood next to Stark watching the clouds go by as they passed them.

Alicia and Blink stood together hand-in-hand, smiling lovingly at each other.

Thor and Steve stood in front of the scepter.

Natasha walked over to Banner and crouched in front of him.

Bruce took off his headphones and placed them on his neck.

"Hey, the lullaby worked better than ever." Nat said.

Bruce shook his head. "Just wasn't expecting a code green." He said looking at the floor.

"You hadn't been there, there would have been double the casualties. My best friend would've been a treasured memory." Nat said.

Bruce smiled.

"You know sometimes exactly what I want to hear isn't exactly what I want to hear." Bruce said looking at the Russian assassin.

"How long before you trust me?" Natasha asked.

Bruce hesitated for a second.

"It's not you I don't trust."

Natasha smiled.

"Thor report on the Hulk."

Thor turned away from the scepter and toward Banner and Natasha.

"THe gates of Hel are filled with the screams of his victims."

Nat sent him an 'are-you-kidding-me' face while Banner groaned softly.

"But not the screams of the dead, of course. No, no, wounded screams. Manily whimpering, a great deal of complaining and tales of sprained deltoids and gout."

"Hey, Banner, Dr. Cho is on her way in from Seoul. Is it okay if she sets up in your lab?" Stark asked.

"Uh, yeah, she knows her way around." Banner replied.

"Tell her to prep everything. Barton's gonna need the full treatment." Spot said.

"Very good sir." Jarvis said.

"Don't call me sir. It's Spot."

"Sorry."

"Jarvis take the wheel." Stark said, getting up out of his seat.

"Yes sir. Approach vector is locked."

Stark pressed a button and got up.

Spot walked over to Race and Becca and sat down.

"Feels good, yeah?" Stark asked as he, Steve and Thor stood in front of the scepter.

"I mean you've been after this thing since S.H.I.E.L.D. collapsed. Not that I haven't enjoyed our little raiding parties, but..."

"No, but this... This brings it to a close." Thor said looking at Stark.

"As soon as we find out what else this has been used for. I don't just mean weapons. Since when is Strucker capable of human enhancement?" Steve asked.

"Banner and I will give it the once over before it goes back to Asgard." Tony said.

"Is that cool with you? Just a few days till the farewell party. You're staying right?"

"Yes, yes, of course. A victory should be honored with revels." Thor said.

"Yeah, who doesn't love revels? Captain?"

"Hopefully this puts an end to the Chitauri and Hydra. So, yes, revels."

"What the hell is a revel?" Race shouted.

The three men laughed at the teenager.

"You're so cute." Becca said as she looked at Race's confused face.

Soon the quinjet arrived back in New York and was flying into Avengers headquarters.

Agents Maria Hill, Camryn and Alyssa Evans, and Dr. Cho were waiting at the jet entrance for the team.

Clint was brought out of the jet on a gurney, and Nat followed suit.

Jack was next off the plane and Camryn ran to him.

"Next time a little heads up would be nice. I thought you had been captured." Camryn said as she checked Jack over.

"I'm fine." He said kissing her. 

"Ugh! Get a room!" Alyssa shouted.

They laughed and walked away.

"USE PROTECTION!" Alyssa shouted after them.

Thor walked out carrying the box that contained the scepter.

Alicia and Blink followed, still holding hands, then Becca walked out leaving Race behind.

Spot and Race sent each other a look.

They knew something was wrong and they could feel it.

They both walked out of the jet followed by David.

Soon Tony, Steve, Hill, and Alyssa were the only ones still on the jet.

"Lab's all set up, boss." Hill said.

"Oh actually he's the boss. I just pay for everything and design everything, and make everyone look cooler." Tony said.

"No I make everyone look cooler." Alyssa said.

"Watch it shorty."

Alyssa stuck her tongue out at him.

"What's the word on Strucker?" Steve asked.

"NATO'S got him." Hill said.

"The four Enhanced?"

"Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. Twins. Violet Harrison and Zachary Hunter. Cousins. The Maximoff's were orphaned at 10 when a shell collapsed their apartment building. As for Violet and Zachary. They were both kidnapped by Strucker two years ago. That's the only information we have on them."

"Sokovia's had a rough history.It's nowhere special, but it's on the way to everywhere special." Alyssa said.

"Their abilities?" Steve asked.

"Pietro's got increased metabolism and improved thermal homeostasis. Zachary has increased metabolism and improved thermal homeostasis as well, and he's also got psychic electrokinesis. Wanda and Violet's things are neuroelectric interfacing, telekinesis, mental manipulation."

Steve looked at her.

"Pietro's fast, Zachary's electric, and Wanda and Violet are weird."

"Well they're gonna show up again." Steve said.

"Agreed. File says they volunteered for Strucker's experiments." Hill said.

"Even Violet and Zachary?"

"Yes. Says that Violet wanted revenge on the ones that hurt her, and Zachary wanted to be more than a little brother." Alyssa said reading the file.

"Little brother?" Steve asked.

Alyssa nodded.

"Yes says he had two older siblings." Hill said.

"Names?" Steve asked.

"None." Alyssa said.

"What about Violet? Anything else on her?"

"Just that she grew up in New York with an older and a twin brother and they moved to Sokovia right before her parents death." Hill replied.

"Whoever these two are, Strucker didn't want us knowing anything. Dig deeper, see if you can find out who these two are." Steve replied, stepping into the elevator.

"It's nuts." Hill said.

"Right. What kind of monster would let a german scientist experiment on them to protect their country?" Steve asked.

"We're not at war, Captain." Hill said.

"They are." Steve said as the elevator doors closed.

"Let's do some digging." Alyssa said, as her and Hill walked away.

"What is Strucker hiding and why?" Alyssa asked.

Hill didn't' answer.

Alyssa didn't like Hill, she thought she was too serious and uptight.

"Alright looks like I'm doing this on my own then." Alyssa said as she walked back to her room to find out more on Violet Harrison and Zachary Hunter.

She changed out of her jeans and into her joggers and her jacket.

She unplugged her computer and brought it over to her bed.

After the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D, Alyssa had been taught to hack networks.

She had been introduced to the deep web and she wore a grey hat.*

She uploaded the files Stark had brought back from Strucker's base and began her search.

"Alright let's see. Weapons, soldier information." Alyssa said as she scrolled through the files.

"Aha! Human experimentation!" She cheered throwing her hands up in the air.

She clicked on the file and her screen was filled with the people that had failed Strucker's tests.

"So many people didn't survive the experiments."

"No, not it, nope, god he was hot, no, ugh why do all the cute ones have to die, nope, Wanda and Pietro, nope, nothing." Alyssa said as she scrolled through the many files.

"Aha! Violet Grace Harrison and Zachary Aiden Hunter." Alyssa said.

"Who to start with?" She asked herself.

"Let's start with Violet." She said. "Born in 1998 to Scarlet and John Harrison. Anthony Jacob Harrison is her twin brother, and Robert Andrew Harrison was her eldest brother. Went to King's Christian Academy. Moved to Sokovia when she was 5. Her parents died when she was 7. Anthony. Robert and Violet were left to starve on the streets for three years. The three took shelter in a local orphanage when they were 10. They never got adopted. Violet was 14 when Robert died of cancer. Anthony died in a murder case of half the orphanage. Violet was left on her own for several years. She was almost killed by her friends a year later. Strucker found her and took her in. She volunteered for the experiments. And that's all he wrote."

"God what are you hiding?" She asked the computer.

"You got anything?" Hill asked walking into Alyssa's room.

"Just Violet's background information," Alyssa said. "You could've knocked."

"What did you get on Zachary?" Alyssa asked.

"He was born in 2001 to Jacob and Maria Hunter. He had two older siblings named Serenity, and Daniel. He went to public school. His sister was killed when he was 10. His brother was killed when he was 11. He went to a local orphanage. He got kicked out after he electrocuted one of the kids. He was on the streets until he was 12. Strucker found him and took him in. He volunteered for the experiments. And that's all that was on the file." Hill said.

"There's got to be more." Alyssa said, looking at Violet's file.

"Wait a minute. See this? It's typed differently than the rest." Alyssa said, pointing to the word Grace.

"I don't see anything." Hill said.

"See how it's in a different font than the other words?" Alyssa asked.

Hill looked closely.

"Still don't see anything."

"See how Grace is typed in Calibri?" Alyssa asked.

Hill nodded.

"Everything else is typed in Cambria. It's in a different font that everything else."

"He could be hiding something."

"That's what I'm thinking. He's a smart man. The answer wouldn't be in plain sight."

Alyssa moved the mouse onto the word Grace and clicked on it.

"Jackpot." Alyssa said, as the word opened up another file.

"Okay. We found it. Now, what was he hiding?" Alyssa asked.

She opened the file and her face went pale.

"We have to tell Steve." Alyssa said, picking up her computer and running out the door.

She ran down the hallways shouting 'Steve' until she found him.

"Steve you have to see this." Alyssa said.

"Hill and I did some deeper digging and we found out who Violet and Zachary really are."

"You're sure?" Steve asked.

"Who else could they be?"

"Look at the pictures and tell me you see the resemblance."

Steve looked closer at the pictures and paled.

"It's them."

"We cannot under any circumstances tell the others."

"Agreed. They can't know," Steve said. "Go get cleaned up. The party's starting soon."

Alyssa nodded.

"Remember, not a word." Alyssa said before walking off.

"What have they done to you?" She asked, a tear slipping out of her eye.
