Chapter 1: You're coming with us

AN: This is my first Avenger story everyone so tell me what you think of it. Enjoy!

AN: Also Alex's best friend Skye is not the Skye from Agents of SHIELD, it's just a coincidence that they have the same name and both are computer geniuses.

Alexandra collected her books and headed for the door. The school bell had rung and summer had started. Alex walked down the hall and out the doors of the school. People all around her were talking and running toward there buses, hurrying to get off school grounds. Alex hears foot steps behind her and turns to see her best friend Skye run up to her.

"Hey" Skye gives Alex a playful shove.

Alex had been best friends with Skye sense she transferred to Pinewood school. Pine wood was a special school for people with special skills. . For instance, Skye got in because she is a computer whiz, she can hack almost anything. Alex got in because she has abilities in tracking and investigation tactics. (Meaning Alex could train to become a cop)The school has a total of 20 acres of land for schools and training courses. Weapons aren't allowed on the grounds but students in grades 9+ get access to classes for learning to build weapons and how to handle but not fire them; and learning fight techniques. Grades start from 5th grade and up. She was the first person Alex saw on the school grounds, and they have been best friend's sense.

"Hi, hey what are you doing after when you get home?" Alex looks over at Skye. She shrugs.

"Nothing really. My parents won't be home til like 10 tonight so…." Skye squinted when they came in view of the sun.

"Why don't you come over then, I could use the company." Alex walks toward they're bikes.

"Cool! Hey didn't you get a new TV?" Skye gives Alex an innocent smile. Alex grins.

"Maybe…" Skye laughs and walks over to her bike. Putting her helmet on; she looks back over at Alexandra.

"Wont you're parents be home though?" Alex looks at her pocket; pulling out her phone she starts texting her mom. Skye puts her books in her backpack while Alex's finishes texting.

"My mom says they won't be home til tomorrow afternoon, they are still on a business trip for work." Skye gets on her bike and smiles.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Alex gets on her bike, grinning at Skye.

"You want to stay the night?" Alex looks at Skye. Skye sighs.

"Well duh!" Alex laughs and they both head off to Alex's house.

AVENGERS

Skye sat on the couch flipping through channels on the new TV while Alex popped popcorn. They had just gotten to her house and they were clueless to what to do. Alex walks over and puts the bowl of popcorn on the coffee table then turns back to the kitchen.

"Hey you want a drink?" Skye looks over the top of the couch.

"Sure" Alex walks toward the fridge. "Sprite!" Alex hears Skye but doesn't look at her as she opens the fridge.

"I know." Alex gets out two Sprites. "Catch" Skye looks up seeing Alex throw the bottle. She sits up slightly to catch it. Alex walks over to the couch; putting one hand on the back and pushing herself over landing on the cushion. She looks up at the TV, Skye flips through the channels and stops on the news channel. It was the Avengers on the news. It had been a year sense the battle of New York, and the cleanup was just finished. It also just happened to be the same day as the battle. What a coincidence. Skye sighs smiling at the TV.

Alex looks at her with a questioning smile. "What's the sighing for?" Skye looks at Alexandra then back at the TV.

"Wouldn't you just die meeting them? I mean there like super heroes!" Skye throws her hands in the air as she says super heroes. Alex leans back slightly not to get hit by Skye's hand.

Alexandra shrugs. "I don't know, I guess there cool. I mean what's the big deal?" Skye looks at Alex like she's crazy.

"There super heroes! Duh! Who wouldn't want to meet them?" Skye almost yells. Alex leans back in surprise, putting her hands up in surrender, trying to hide a smirk. Alex leans forward and picks up her phone looking at the time, it read 5:10.

"Oh great, I'm late." Alex jumps up and runs up stairs. Skye follows her with her eyes.

"Late for what?" Skye watches Alex run up stares. Skye then gets off the couch and walks to the base of the stairs. She can hear Alex running around but has no clue what she's up to. Then she sees Alexandra appear at the top of the stairs, her bow in hand and her quiver on her back. Skye raises her eyebrows. "Where are you going?" Alex sits on the stairs putting on riding boots.

"I need to go feed Storm." Alex finishes getting on her boots and walks toward the door.

'Why the hell would you need a bow to feed your horse?" Alex turns and grins at her, then walks out the door.

'You'll see." Skye follows Alex with her eyes then walks after her, closing the door behind her.

AVENGERS

Alex and Skye walk up to Birchcreek stables. Skye follows Alex as she walks into the tack room and opens up her locker. Each rider had their own locker to store their saddles, bridles, and other equipment. Alex puts her bow and quiver in her locker then closes it and puts the lock back on. Alex then walks out toward Storm's stall.

"Don't you need the food?" Skye jogs to catch up with Alex's fast pace. Alex shakes her head.

"I'm going to ride first. Then feed him after." Alex walks up to a stall and opens the door; stepping inside. Skye walks up to the stall looking inside. A head pops up and Skye steps closer to the stall. Alex opens the door farther and walks out toward the riding arena, leaving the door wide open.

"Uh-"Skye looks over to remind Alex she left the door open then sees Storm walk out and follow Alex. Skye smiles and sighs then walks after Storm and Alex. Alex walks up to Storm, putting her left hand on his back then pulling herself up onto his back. Storm starts walking around while Alex puts her hair up in a ponytail. Skye watches from the side lines.

AVENGERS

"Now jump that one!" Skye shouts to Alex who is riding Storm bareback with nothing but a rope that went around his neck over jumps. Skye was still impressed by what she could do. Skye couldn't ride a horse bareback to save her life. Alex slows Storm to a walk.

"Can you go get me my bow and quiver?" Alex asks Skye. Skye nods then furrows her eyebrows.

"Why would you need that?" Alex looks at Skye and sighs.

"I said you'll see!" Skye sighs and walks back toward the tack room. She had her thoughts on what she might do but it was nothing close to what Alex was about to do.

Skye returns minutes later with the bow and quiver. Handing them up to Alex she walks back and sits on the fence.

Alex puts the quiver over her head and keeps her bow in hand. She then squeezes her legs and Storm speeds up into a canter. Alex adjusts herself and takes an arrow from her quiver. Skye's eyes grow wide as she watches Alex take aim. Alex aims for a water bottle someone left on a barrel. Storm canters around the arena; the barrel on the other side. Alex lets out a breath and lets the arrow go. Skye watches it wiz by and go directly though the bottle and hit the center of hay bay behind it. Skye's eyes widen.

"Holy shit!" Skye yells, but she loses her balance and falls of the fence backwards. Alex looks over seeing Skye fall. Alex can't help but laugh. Alex steers Storm towards where Skye lands. Skye looks up and see's Strom's jet black face lean down, sniffing her face. A grin appears in Skye's face, and then she starts laughing as well. Alex hops off Storm and starts walking toward the barn. Skye stands up and follows them in.

AVENGERS

Alex and Skye had just gotten back to Alex's house after feeding Storm. They were sitting on the couch again when Alex hears a knock at the door. She looks over at the hall. Then at Skye, who is already looking at her with a concerned look on her face. Alex walks toward the door and is about to look through the hole when the knock comes again but this time much louder. Alex flinches but builds up the courage to look out. She sees two men dresses in back; she looks down and sees the one holding a gun. Alex feels a chill go down her pine. She turns back to the living run and runs to where Skye is.

'You need to get out now. Go to the back door and run straight home. Don't come back here til I call you." Alex looks at Skye with great concern in her eyes. Skye stands up and looks right back at her.

'No. I'm staying right here." Alex gives Skye a serious look. Then they hear the door being banged on. Alex looks back at it then at Skye.

"Go, NOW!" Alex yells. Skye runs toward the back door, while Alex grabs her bow and quiver and runs toward the stairs, she looks back at Skye who looks at her as well then runs out the back door. Alex runs up the stairs and hides by the stairwell so she could see the door, then the banging stops and it's silent. Alex watches the door with wide eyes. Then the door is thrown forward. And the men run in. Alex quickly hides behind the wall to the stair well. She hears the men walking around down stairs.

"Find the girl." Alex hears a man say. Are they looking for me? Alex thought. She hears the other man walking into the kitchen. Alex walks over to the railing and looks into the hall seeing know one. She starts to creep toward the stairs when she hears someone coming toward her. Alex runs back to her hiding place and gets an arrow ready. She hears footsteps coming toward her and pulls the arrow back getting ready to shoot if necessary. Then she hears someone yell.

"Find her yet?" A man yells.

"No" the man in the hall shouts.

"Damit! Just keep looking!" The man takes another step toward her location. Alex slides farther and doesn't see the basket beside her and trips; falling right in front of the man. The man looks down at her and pulls out a knife. Alex still shocked raises her bow and lets the arrow fly. It hits the guy in the chest; the guy cries out in pain before falling to the ground.

"Jim! What's going on up there!?" Alex hears footsteps and sees a guy appear in the hallway. "Jim!" the guy runs over to the man on the ground; then looks at Alex with a deadly glare.

"You!" He pulls out his gun and just as Alex lets the second arrow fly he pulls the trigger. Alex gasps; looking down and putting her hand to her side feeling something warm and sticky. The guy had an Arrow in his head and had already fallen to the ground. Alex starts getting dizzy, her vision blackens and she falls to the floor.

AVENGERS

Alex's eyes flutter open; squinting at the light above her. She sits there for a minute staring at the ceiling. Then she looks to her left and even though her vision is still blurry, sees she's in an infirmary. I must be in a hospital. Alex thought. Then the thoughts flooded back to her.

Skye running back to her house.

And the two men she had killed.

Alex sat there for moment thinking about the guys trying to get to her. Why would they want me? I'm just a boring 14 year old. Alex thought. Then she hears someone walk by. Looking over Alex sees a man wearing what looked like soldier gear. Alex eyes widen. Seeing that's what the men were wearing that invaded her home. Knowing she had to move, Alex starts trying to get up. A piercing pain shoots up her left side. Alex looking down sees a bandage across her stomach and a bit of blood seeping through the bandage on her side. Gasping she slowly sits up. Alex looks around the room and sees her shirt and jeans on a chair folded up. She slowly inches herself off the bed, trying to ignore the excruciating pain. Then walks over and grabs her clothes. After ten minutes of pain while slipping her clothes on, Alex emerges from the bathroom and sees her bow in the corner by her bed. Sighing with relief she picks them up; sliding the quiver over her head, she walks out of the room and starts looking for the exit.

Alex rounds a corner and walks down the hall. Looking down at her side; Alex doesn't see the man she's about to run into and bumps into him. Looking up in surprise Alex sees a man looking down at her. He furrows his eyebrows and when Alex tries to walk around him he grabs her arm gently but firmly stopping her.

"Who are you? Aren't you supposed to be in the infirmary?" Alex doesn't look up at him. The man puts his hand up to his ear speaking into his com.

"Coulson, I found a patient sneaking ar-"Before the man could finish Alex kicks his shin and elbows him in the gut; then runs down the hall; trying to ignore the pain. The man recovering quickly; starts shouting orders to lock down the perimeter into his com. Alex keeps running her hand held to her side; blood starting to come out of her gunshot wound. Then as she rounds a corner two men cut her off; looking behind her Alex sees four men; one being the guy she escaped from. Pulling out an arrow; Alex takes aim but doesn't let the arrow fly yet. Shocked she aims at the two men then at the four.

"Stay back!" Alex try's to sound confident in spite of the state of shock she's in. the men hold their ground but keep her cornered. Then Alex sees a man walk up to her between the two men to her right. Alex keeps her bow aimed at him; once he stops he begins to speak.

"Alexandra, I'm Agent Coulson with SHIELD." The man called Coulson says. Alex still shocked keeps her bow ready.

"How do you know my name?" Alex has a hint of fear in her voice. Coulson nods toward the soldiers and they fall back disappearing from sight. Then a different man comes around the corner. He was dressed in black and wore an eye patch over his left eye.

"I'm sorry about that Alexandra. But we didn't want you to risk hurting yourself." Alex lowers her bow slowly but keeps the arrow firmly between her fingers.

"Who are you." Alex adds before the man continues.

"I'm Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD." Alex stares at him for a moment; studying him. That name sounds so familiar. Alex thought. The man takes a step closer and Alex lets him." Let's get you back to the infirmary." Alex stands there for a moment. Should I go? Alex thought.

"First tell me why im here. I know this isn't a hospital." Fury nods and pens his mouth his speak.

"Once we get those stitches back in I will brief you on the situation." Taking a moment to think again she the nods and follows Nick fury with Coulson not far behind her.
