Chapter 1.

She was running through grass feet bare, and dress flowing behind her. She looked to find a women laughing and chasing behind her, running faster to the tree she climbed up onto the branch.

"You can't get me" She laughed as the women smiled up and held out her arms. She jumped willingly into them.

"Can we play more please?" she asked softly, looking up at the women her face wasn't clear but she sensed sorrow in them.

"Sorry Angel eyes, it's time to go in for dinner, tomorrow though I promise" She climbed out of her arms grabbing her hand and walking inside. Looking up she tried to focus on her face, but it was a blur. And tomorrow would never come.

Skye woke up rubbing her face, she hasn't had that dream in so long, but it was nice from the nightmares that have been plaguing her. Sitting up she looked at the ratty old hotel room she was in, it wasn't the worst one she has stayed in.

Looking out the window it was another cold day in New York, she packed up her few belongings and headed out. Looking in the mirror her eyes had purple under them, her hair was now longer, her cheeks a little hollow. Putting her hood up, she walked out of the hotel with her backpack into the busy city.

She has been on the run from Coulson from Shield, she only knew one thing she was going to protect her race, and make sure Hydra stayed down for good. She has been getting chatter about an active Hydra base near here. She decided to check it out though, just for her own curiosity and another chance to take down another base trying to rise up. She had to take a couple cabs to just get closer to the base, it was about 50miles outside of the city. She decided to wear her tactical gear for this one, if it was Hydra she needed to be prepared.

Walking around to the side she found a door, she knelt down to the ground to feel the vibrations, slowing her heartbeat she could sense agents inside. She looked up and grinned there was at least 20 men inside the base, this would be fun. Slipping into the side door she left her gun in her belt she didn't need it yet.

It was easy to take down the first 6 Hydra agents, she didn't even make a sound. Making her way to the control room, she decided to take some Intel with her, just because she wasn't part of SHIELD anymore didn't mean she wouldn't help them with inside hydra intel. She would still protect the people from Hydra, especially her people. She was busy hacking the computer when she noticed something on the screen, something familiar. Looking closer her saw a man on a table, still breathing but asleep. She was almost nose to nose with the screen when she felt a presence behind her.

"Impressive not a lot of people can sneak up on me" Skye said slowly turning to face the person, May would kill her if she knew. Her eyes widened slightly at the sight.

"Nice to know I can still be impressive, you Hydra?" Hawkeye asked studying her carefully, bow still drawn.

"Well you are Hawkeye an Avenger, I would hope you would be stealthy" She crossed her arms, scanning him up and down. He winked at her.

"Careful sweetheart, I do have girlfriend" she just glared at him.

"First ew, second I would like to get back to work so if you don't mind lowering that thing Hawkeye" She nodded at his bow, he didn't let up.

"You never answered my question, are you Hydra?" he asked again and she rolled her eyes.

"I will try not to be insulted, no I am not Hydra" he lowered his bow at that smiling.

"Have a name?" he asked still a little edgy, she turned her back to him and continued typing still keeping an eye on the monitor.

"Skye" she finished with the program and pulled her chip from the computer placing it in her pocket. Turning to see him standing in her way.

"I really need to get going so if you don't mind" she said side stepping him, but he held out his arm to stop her.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Hawkeye asked and she smiled feeling more vibrations as soon as an alarm went off.

"Because there is about 10 Hydra agents coming right to us, not the best place to fight." He eyed her again, before grabbing her arm grabbing her to another room pushing her in.

"You know, not where I was planning on going" she mused looking at the small closet they were now in, he put his hand up silently telling her to shh. She rolled her eyes and while he was getting his bow ready again she walked right past him out the door. He tried to grab her but she went out of reach going out the door.

"What the hell" he went after her watching her smile at the agents.

"Oy, you guys looking for me?" She said holding out her arms showing no weapons. Hawkeye thought she was crazy or stupid, hell even both.

"You" one of them said stepping up taking off his mask, Skye recognized him from another base she destroyed months ago.

"I thought I killed you already?" she said amused, the man had a nasty scar on his face.

"Not yet filthy inhuman, I know what you are" he said stepping forward all Hawkeye could do it watch in awe. This girl was toying with the massive Hydra agent.

"Oh so you do know what I am, and my kind good because I am the last one you will ever se" she said voice turning dark. Hawkeye felt someone else behind him, turning to see Captain America and Black Widow. He held out his arm to stop them, though they both looked back at Skye and then him confused.

"I've killed your kind girl do you remember those you found cut open like animals, but don't worry I won't kill you, our leader will have special plans for you" Skye's hands turned to fists.

Hawkeye still waited holding the other Avengers back, that's when Skye roared in anger.

"Come on" the Hydra agent yelled back and Skye attacked, no powers just pure strength and moves just like May taught her. After throwing down the Hydra agent once he got to his feet with his bloodied face he spat the blood at her feet.

"Come on girl, I know you have more than that"

"You're right I do" Skye held out her hand blasting him back foot by foot until she pinned him on the ground, she was crushing him from the inside out. The other agents deiced to attack just then, as Hawkeye shot two and Black Widow shot four and Captain American knocked out the other three.

"Skye" Hawkeye yelled getting her attention, he saw the tears in her eyes but also the anger. She stopped turned toward Hawkeye nodding, not even seeing the other two.

"I leave him to you then, bastard better not be seen by me again. Or I will kill him slowly and painfully, see you later arrow man" she said before taking off in the other direction.

"Clint do you know her?" Steve asked as Natasha secured the agent who was now knocked out.

"Nope just met her like 10min ago, quite the fiery type" He said looking at Steve and Natasha.

"She could be of great asset, she has powers and she hacked the Hydra computers. Not easy" He said as Natasha walked over to him and Steve arms crossed.

"We will see, she doesn't seem like the team type." Natasha said.

"Well I like her, she has got guts" Clint said earning an eye roll from Natasha.

"For now let's clean up" Steve said walking into the base further. The avengers now had their own little agency, just like SHIELD including, thank goodness, a cleanup crew. What they found though was more disturbing then they realized there was a man who seemed to be more alive than dead on a hospital bed hooked up to varies machines, they took him, because maybe he was a hostage of Hydra either way he could give them answers they have been searching for.
