AN- Here we go guys, I hope you enjoy this chapter and are still with me…..

Armed with enough ammo to take down a small country Clint and Natasha cautiously made their way into the shield base, they had been to this base a couple of times so it wasn't that unfamiliar to them. Nodding at fellow agents as they walked by, they were both tense and trying hard not to pull their guns.

"Ok, head down the containment facilities" pointing with his chin towards the stairs, "I'm going to go to the control rooms and disable the cameras"

"Uh, no we can't just waltz in there" Frowning at her partner's idea, she was usually the one who wanted to go in gun blazing.

"No, let's go upstairs to the living quarters and head down to the detention center via the vents" Laughing softly at the sheepish look on his face.

"Good idea" Running his hands through his hair he steered her up the stairs, she was right it wouldn't do any good for anyone to get suspicious of them too early.

Heading upstairs to the sleeping quarters they both had bunks but they specifically headed to his because he had access to the vents, making their way upstairs as inconspicuous as possible they made it to Clint's bunk with no one stopping them. Keying in the code to his room they closed the door behind them, moving ahead of Nat he pulled the grating off the duct.

"Alright, let's do this" Helping Nat up and in the air duct he grabbed the cover awkwardly balancing it as he swung himself up, closing the duct behind him he motioned for Nat to move forward as he crawled behind her.

"100 feet up ahead we will separate, you will go another 100 feet and take 2 lefts and 3 rights and you're going to be right over the detention area"

Nodding at him as she brushed cobwebs of her shoulder Nat sighed "OK don't get into trouble and meeting place is on the launch pad I have a feeling we are going to be leaving in a blaze of fire"

Making their way to the break in the space they paused and stared at each other, leaning over Clint pressed his mouth to Natasha "Be safe" Kissing her once more in goodbye the duo went separate ways.

The red head made her way down the shaft, easily making her way through the vents she was glad that she was small, resisting the urge to look behind her where her partner was disappearing. Crawling quickly and silently over to the vent that was overlooking the detention center.

Lying on her stomach Nat peeked down waiting there till Clint gave her the all clear to drop down.

"Nat" Sitting up at Clint's voice she started removing the screws holding the grate in place. "Two guards 7 steps ahead and one at the end of the hall guarding the exists"

Grunting softly to let Clint know she heard him Nat kept on unscrewing the gate waiting for Clint to let her know when she could jump down, she knew he was looping the image and that would give them a 5 minute window before the loop registered and then they would have to move as quickly as they could because they would be discovered and she at least wanted Coulson's team safely in the shafts so they could get as close to the jet before they had to fight their way out.

"Ok Nat" doing a quick check of her weapons she waited patiently "Go" at Clint's words Natasha dropped down quickly dispatching the guard that was at the door and shooting a widow bite at the guard at the desk he should sleep for a while.

"Ok I'm here" dropping to the key pad that keeping the door locked she hacked it in a minute and opened the door; the two scientists were in the room with Trip.

"Let's go" Motioning for them to follow her she rolled her eyes at their jaw dropping.

"Yes I'm the black widow…..No we don't have time for questions" Motioning them to follow her again she rolled her eyes.

"Coulson sent me, but we have to go because we are running out of time" Turning from them she opened the other door that held Bobbie and Hunter. "Bobbie" nodding at the blond she motioned for them to follow her.

Hunter raised an eye brow at the site of the hot red head "Are you here to kill us" looking her over and eyeing her tight cat suit appreciatively "Because what a way to go"

Raising her eyebrow at Bobbie "This is who you decided to marry, because let me tell you it is not an upgrade from Clint" Shaking her head she nudged them all to the hole in the ceiling "Time to go".

They helped the science twins up and into the shaft first before Lance, Trip, Bobbie and finally Natasha made her way into the vents, Putting the grating back on the vents she crawled in front of everyone and started leading them.

"Hawkeye, what's your ETA?" Climbing through the dirty grating they quietly made their way to the rendezvous "Hawkeye" Calling softly for her partner to answer her she cursed when all she got in return was silence.

Cursing softly she paused and tipped her head back to look at the rest of Coulson's team "I'm going after Hawkeye" Dropping softly to the right she sighed "Bobbie I need you to get everyone safely to the jet, we will meet you there in 10 minutes" Pointing the left she gave Bobbie exact instructions on how to get to the jet.

"If we're not there in 10 minutes you leave without us, there is a phone on the co-pilot seat to contact Coulson but only when you guys are in stealth mode" Nodding at Bobbie she started to crawling to where she knew Hawkeye would be, thanking everything that she learned the schematics of the vents like Clint did.

She was crawling toward the opening when she felt someone shift behind her, turning she prepared to attack when she realized it was just Trip "I'm coming with you" He was determined and she was not going to waste any time arguing with him when her partner was in trouble.

"Don't get in the way" Turning around she hovered over the grating before dropping down into the security room, reacting quickly she took out the 3 guards, looking around she motioned for Trip to drop down, walking to the consol she started clicking through looking for Clint….

May was lying with Skye sleeping next to her; she was watching Phil who was sitting besides her watching the monitor on the bus there was no one on it but she knew that he was worried about his team so she let him stare at the monitor.

"This is nerve wrecking" Putting the lap top down where they could see it Phil turned and curled his body so Skye was laying between may and himself. "This could only happen to us" Slipping his hand into May's he squeezed gently.

"When is your mother getting here?"

Blowing a huff of air May wrinkled her nose "A little later, this is going to be weird as hell" Nodding at her words he laid on his back looking at the ceiling.

"We can do this together" holding on to her hand tightly he closed his eyes, he trusted Natasha and Clint to be able to get everyone to safety but he was understandably nervous.

Eyes closing as he relaxed with his hands wrapped around May's they both startled as an alarm started blaring, jumping up as Skye started to wail "Move it" Waiting for May to scoop Skye up and into her arms he pushed her down the hallway and into the panic room.

"The code to get out is Natasha's birthday" Closing and locking the door behind him he grabbed a gun from the fake flower pot, aiming it in the air he slowly crept his way down the stairs gun at the ready.

Creeping down the hallway he made his way to the front gun at the ready, turning the corner he startled as he almost slammed into the Asian woman who was casually walking through his house with a frown on her face.

Rolling his eyes Phil out the gun away as she turned to him with her ever present frown "Lian"

"Phillip" he waited for her till she turned and got a full look at him, her mouth dropped open in confusion "What happened to you, what sort of sorcery is this?"

Walking over to the alarm he put in the code "I will explain everything let me just go get Melinda"

Eyeing him suspiciously she wandered around the house "It is nice, and it took me a while to break in" Shrugging at her words and her backward compliment he armed the alarm and put the electronic fence back up, he would have to ask her how she bypassed it but first he wanted to get May out of the panic room.

"Make yourself at home" Turning he took the steps two at a time and marveled that he could do that again with his younger body.

Punching in the code he opened the door to May holding a gun on him looking on him "Hey were ok" Gently lowering the gun he stepped forward and pulled May into his arms, cradling her head he kissed her softly "Your mother is here" Pressing one last kiss on May's forehead he turned and lifted Skye into his arms.

"Time to face the beast….I mean you yay your mother is here" Leading her out of the panic room and to the stairs he stopped as May faltered and came to a stop at the top of the stairs.

"I can't do this" she was staring down at the stairs sadly.

Tipping her chin up he hugged her to his chest being careful of Skye who was laying on his shoulder "No matter what happens I'm here" Kissing her softly he lead her down the stairs and to the kitchen where her mother was making tea.

Entering the kitchen May was determinedly staring at the floor but her head popped up as she heard the glass shatter against the floor. "Mother" Rushing forward as her mother doubled over in shock "Are you ok mother?" Helping her mother stand she paused as her mother ran a hand over her face.

"Qiaolian" Gapping at her daughter she ran her hands over her cheeks "Someone start explaining why you look twelve again, and who is that baby?" Rounding on Phil she pointed her finger at him "If you got my daughter pregnant with no ring on her finger"

Throwing Phil a dirty look she pulled Melinda close "You had better not let that boy knock you up without marrying you" Rolling her eyes at her mother and her dramatics she sat and motioned for Phil to sit beside her, it was a miracle that Skye was quiet and content to let Phil hold her.

"Well this is what happened…"

Spotting Clint being standing by the elevator's two guns on him she rolled her eyes at that "Let's go" Opening the door she sprinted down the hallway, throwing a widow bite at the first guy she watched Clint take down the other.

"Time to go" It would be past the 10 minute mark that she told Bobbie to wait for them; they would need to find another way out.

"Where did they park the Bus?" She asked Trip as they sprinted back to the security room, Slamming the door shut and locking it behind them.

"I don't know we were all unconscious" Running to the monitor she fiddled with it until she found the bus in hanger bay 7.

"There" Pointing it out to Clint she waited for him to calculate a route that would take them there; they climbed back in the vents and made their way to hanger 7 with Clint leading the way, pausing at the grating that drops over the hanger she grinned at Clint.

"Well you wanted a fight" Leaning over she kissed him like it was the last kiss she would ever be able to give him.

"Let's go" Dropping into the hanger she spun and took down the guard nearest to her as Clint did the same, throwing a widow bite at another she flipped and thigh choked the one guarding the opening to the bus.

Shooting another she pulled Clint and Trip onto the bus locking the doors behind them, "let's get this bird in the air" Running to the cockpit she fired up the controls before she realized she had another issue.

"How the hell are we getting out of here, it's not like they are going to open the hanger doors for us" Flipping switches as she thought of the situation she had an idea, a crazy one but an idea all together.

"Guys hold on to something" Firing at the hanger doors until it made a big enough hole she piloted the bus and slammed it into the hanger doors pushing the bus to its limits she piloted up and put it in stealth mode.

*Nat" unbuckling herself she opened the door for Clint, stepping into his arms she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Pushing back to check to see if he had any damage "Are you ok?" Laughing he kissed her pulling her in close to him.

"Damn, that was crazy" pulling away from each other they entered the cockpit and sat. "Let's see if we can get a hold of Bobbie and have her meet us at the safe house.

Picking up her phone she called the burner phone in the cockpit of the jet and gave Bobbie directions to the safe house and instructed her to keep the plane in stealth mode, putting in the coordinates they knew that this was just the beginning they would left Mac at the base because he was the one that lead shield/hydra to them but they weren't sure where the rest of the team fell.

TBC….
