Family is complicated

“Can we focus on Darcy.” Jake did not want to answer questions about the backdoor. “Do we have pictures from the abduction?”

“FRIDAY if you please.” Captain America was briefing him. On the screen was a photo appeared. “We can only identify one person. Brock Rumlow. The other two we are still trying to identify.” The photo was a security camera that Elliot had put in with the help of Hardison. The one identified as Brock Rumlow had Darcy thrown over his shoulder a woman was on his right with a gun in one hand and a sword in the other. The one on the left who was holding the door open was a man who looked out of place.

Jake just started to cuss at the sight of the photo. “The one of the rights is Lamia she works for the Serpent Brotherhood.”

All eyes turned to Jake. The Avengers had written Jake off as just a regular person. With having Elliot Spencer as his twin, they should have known better. Tony Stark of course had to open his mouth “The what now?”

“The Serpent Brotherhood. They want to release magic into the world.”

“Magic? Like Loki.” Clint just could not believe they would be fighting magic again.

“Stoneson where do you show your allegiance?” Thor said with a serious tone.

“I am a Librarian.”

Everyone in the room was looking at each other wondering what this man was doing there. All except Thor who was grinning. “You are the caretaker for the Midgard Library.”

“There are four of us Librarians now.”

“Four? I thought the Midgard Library only had one Librarian at a time?”

“Yeah Lamia and her group changed all that.”

“How is Galahad? It has been over a century since we talked last.”

“When we get Darcy back, I am sure he would like to see an old friend again. If Lamia is with them then Dulac should be involved too.”

“Then we should use your warrior skills. Darcy is fortunate to have such family member. Dulac is a formative adversary.”

Elliot had no idea what they were talking about, but Jake had intel on one of the people who had Darcy. The problem was He did not know who was worse Rumlow or the ghost from his past. “I know the other. His name is Damien Moreau. He should be in prison.”

Natasha looks at him. “How did you know about Moreau being in jail? Last I heard he was living the high life and very dangerous.”

“Because I am the one who put him in there. He is the reason our ledgers are so a like. He is why I did not take you up on your offer last time we meet.”

“Good thing you told me no. All the red that I washed off my ledger might be darker now.”

Tony cleared his throat. “So, let me see if I get this straight. Darcy Lewis who is Doctor Foster’s assistant was kidnapped by not only Hydra, but another secret organization called the Serpent Brotherhood is also involved. There is another interested party in Damien Moreau who Spencer put in jail and is now out. Am I missing anything?”

“The question is how these three know each other?”

“Well the one thing they have in common is your family. So, what is so important about your family?”

“Nothing. Every time one of us starts to get a head in life they die. There is also that we cannot get ahead in life. The three of us are the only ones who has done something in our life. That is nothing.” Elliot said.

“Lady Darcy wanted me to see if her family had some curse on it. When she learned of magic she wondered if it there was something to be done. I had mother look into it for me before her death.”

“Well Point Break I don’t think that Hydra and friends would kidnap Darcy because of some long-lost relative did something bad to someone else and ended up cursed. It has to be to get to us. So,” Tony turns to Jake and Elliot “where would your bad guys take someone to hide?”

“Moreau would go to his mansion in San Lorenzo. Though that is where he should be in jail. Has anyone heard anything about their politics lately?”

“Just their President was assassinated last week.”

“That would be why he got out. My team and I were the ones that put him in prison. We put the President into power and not Moreau’s guy. We then tricked the outgoing President to seize all of Moreau’s assets. Though it could have only happened if he was a political prisoner.”

“So, they are probably there. How do we go get this lab monkey?” Said Tony.

“Well it depends on how much noise we want to make. If we want to go in with noise of the Avengers or a more subtle way.” Said Elliot.

“Why not both?” This came from Jake.

That got everyone’s attention. No one expected Jake to come up with a tactical way to get Darcy. When it showed that Elliot knew the Black Widow everyone understood that Elliot could help but the Librarian? This had nothing to do with magic or books.

“We can have the Avengers going in like they only know that Hydra is involved. I will call my team in to go in and get Darcy. I know how Lamia thinks. I know how to handle her, and the rest of my team knows what to do after that. I don’t know who you can get Elliot to help but if they can keep a secret than they can come with my team.”

“You going to use that magic door again?”

“Yeah. That is why I need them to be able to keep a secret. No Doc I don’t know much about it. If you can convince Cassie or Jenkins to talk to about it go for it. I would go to Cassie first. Jenkins is a little grumpy.”

“I could bring in my team. This is not a Sofie or Nate operation but Parker and Hardison would want in. Nate could help here though. He is good with planning things.”

At the last name Tony perked up. “That would not be Alec Hardison?”

“Yeah I will get him to come so he can hack what he needs to. If you guys distract my team can come in and retrieve Darcy.”

“Cassie can help with her special skills, but she can’t fight. I really mean she cannot fight. I’ll have to bring Baird in. She used to do things like this before becoming a Guardian.”

“And Baird did what? We are letting in a lot of untrained personal on this mission.”

“Baird’s full name is Coronel Eve Baird and she use to work for NATO Anti-terrorism task force.”

“Well she qualifies. Who else?”

“Well Jones is a thief. Thinks he can steal anything.”

Elliot snorts. “That would be Ezekiel Jones, right? Well Parker and he kind of have a thief off thing going on right now or they did when both were stealing things.”

Tony stands up clapping. “We have a plan. The Avengers will go in distracting everyone. Then Team Elliot and Team Library will go through a magic door to sneak in to retrieve the lab money. Does anyone else think they picked the wrong lab monkey? Nope just me. Ok.”
