Lieutenant Hill didn't always agree with Director Fury, regardless of what some members of The Avengers might say. For example, right now she didn't agree with his decision to make removing the Phase II prototypes a priority. That didn't however, mean that she was going to disobey his direct order. She got Coulson to help, and began directing traffic as the weapons were evacuated, as well as any remaining staff. There was a loud noise, but she just urged her operatives to work faster.

Barton came out, with a few agents, that scientist, and someone who Hill didn't recognize.

"Who's that?"

"Didn't tell me."

"Hill… Do you copy?" Fury's voice crackled over her radio. "Barton has turned."

Hill didn't have time to properly process the information. She reacted quickly, seeking cover, and returning fire, when Barton began firing at her. She didn't know what was happening, only that she had to stop Barton from escaping. She quickly jumped into a jeep, and followed the departing vehicles. She thought she might be able to head them off, if she was quick enough. She turned a corner and was face to face with the other vehicle. She was staring Barton in the face when she pulled her gun and fired. Somehow in the firefight, she got behind them, and all she could think about is how the roof is going to come crashing down on her head. And then it did.

Hill made it out from under the ruble, and after a quick check in with Fury, began to look for survivors. After twelve hours of search and rescue operations, Fury called her. "Report to base."

Lieutenant Maria Hill arrived at the helicarrier exhausted, but before she even made it to her quarters for a shower, a young operative caught her and handed her a file. He waited for her to return his solute, and then scurried off. Hill snorted after him. She doesn't much care what people think of her, so she tends to come off as cold and distant. Which is fine. But sometimes it can scare the young ones so much that it gets a bit hilarious. As Hill headed for her quarters, she mulled over his reaction. She hadn't even been on the helicarrier for a few days. Perhaps someone has been spreading rumors again. Hill reached her door, and decided to simply forget about it. She entered her quarters and dropped her bag. She sat down on her bed to peruse the file the operative had handed her. Inside were extraction plans for each of the Avengers. There was also some generalized information about each Avenger, strengths, weaknesses, background information, as well as current location, and agent in charge of bringing them in. Hill shook her head, and sighed, putting the file aside. She knew in her gut that the Avengers Initiative was a bad idea. Heck, she had even tried to explain why it was such a truly bad idea to Fury, but he hadn't even bothered to pretend to listen. He didn't seem to understand the concept of not putting all your eggs in one basket. Or the fact that even if he could somehow manage to put together a team of six highly egotistical, self centered, and self serving people, AND somehow get them to work together, there was nothing to keep them loyal to SHIELD or Fury. Absolutely nothing. And Fury did not seem to realize exactly how dangerous that situation could prove to be.

After Hill showered and got a good nights sleep, (or you know, four hours) she got up and dressed in her uniform. She arrived on the bridge of the helicarrier, and began to look over that days briefings. The majority of her day, it appeared, was going to be monitoring the arrival, greeting, and management of The Avengers. Fantastic.
