Steve came with a group of parametics behind him. I could tell by the look on his face something was up.

"What happened? Is Nat OK? Tony? Zoe?" I asked worried someone was hurt, they we're the most likely to be hurt.

"It's Coulson. He's dead." Was his response.

I broke.

The news of his death put me over the edge. First Meike, then Jaxon and finding put I'm an artificial mutant, but Coulson dead. He's like a father to me just like Fury. What am I going to do now?

"How?" I asked.

"Do you want to do this to yourself?" Steve asked. I guess he saw the tears welling up.

"Just tell me."

"Loki stabbed him in the heart."

"That son of a..." I took a breath," He's going to pay for destroying my family."

Steve pulled me into a hug Which caused the dam of tears to break. By the time I stopped crying Nat had come and set me in a room with Meike and Clint strapped down in case they were still on his side. About a minute of watching them I couldn't take it. I laid my head on Nat's shoulder.

Nat tried to calm them down, it wasn't working. Ten minutes of grunting I heard a sigh and saw Clint and Meike resting.I walked over to my sister.

"How many?" She asked scared to hear the answer.

"None of it was you. It was Loki. Don't worry your still pure." I teased.

She must have noticed my tear stains. Because she asked, "What happened? Please tell me we have a chance at Loki still."

"Don't worry sis, you still have a shot. Its..." I broke again.

Meike got up from the chair, how'd she get out of the straps? Oh well. She comforted me. I never break like this. Never, especially in front of Meike.

When the tears stopped I told her about Coulson. She was in tears at that point. As she cried I shut down, locking up my feelings. I had a feeling that in the upcoming battle tears would only get in the way.

Meike left to take a shower, and I texted Jaxon telling him I read through the file. I also told him that he should be ready to fight. He texted me back saying he knew where Loki was... Stark tower.

I knocked on the bathroom door, "Hurry up! We need to get ready, I know where to go."

I left the room after getting my uniform on. It consists of a thin bulletproof flexible cat suit. My bow staff that doubles as a set of eskirma sticks, which I added and electrical current through. I pulled my hair up with chopsticks the hide throwing knifes.

I went down the hallway and ran into Zoe.

"Dad figured out where Loki is holed up. I meant to by o get you two. Is Meike fit to fight?" Zoe asked.

"Even if she wasn't she'd go. Loki is on her 'list' right now."

"He would be on mine too if that happened to me, heck he is on my list for doing that to her." Zoe punched her hand in frustration.

"Well it's best not to let revenge cloud the task at hand." I said putting my hand on her shoulder.

"Thats why you're the boss." Zoe said with a salute.

"What do you mean?"

"You didn't read the Next Gen file? You we're the one to ask for it. Any way Starknote version, your leader, Jaxon is second in command, I'm weapons and lab technician, and Meike is the haker. Seems that they might recruit more but for now we are the original four. Cool right?"

"Ya very. Anyway I'm thinking we let the adults do their thing and we do some background work, make it easy on them." I explained. I only told her this so she wouldn't go all Stark mad and try to be the center of attention.

"Fine I'll be good, boss." She saluted me and left to get her suit ready.

I look over to one of the many windows and see the sun coming up, it's going to be a long day.

Well I'm super sorry this took so long but thanks to my sisters that found my story, and badgered me into updating, here you go. Don't get me wrong, I love doing this but I've had bad writers block over this story, but finally another chapter! Hope you like it!
