Hey guys. This is my second story on FanFiction and for those of you who are reading my other story, don't worry! I plan to keep updating both.
Autumn Carmichael is a new SHIELD agent with electrifying powers. Director Fury is quick to see her potential and pairs her up with Natasha as her mentor. Her very first solo mission is to gather intel from the Lemurian Star, but that doesn't go as planned. From the moment she ran into Captain America and the Black Widow on the Lemurian Star, everything takes a turn for the worse and she soon finds herself on the run with the two Avengers. Steve/OC pairing. Rating may change to 'M' later on.
Here's a short description of my OC:
Autumn Annette Carmichael
Age: 26
Hair: Brunette, usually kept back in ponytail.
Eyes: Dark blue
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 115
Powers: Electricity
Specializes: Computer Technology, Advanced Technology
"You ready for your first mission, kid?"
Autumn raised a daring eyebrow at her redheaded mentor. "Seriously? You're not that much older than me, Romanoff."
It was 2014 and tomorrow Autumn would be going on her first mission as a SHIELD agent. Her mission was to board the Lemurian Star and extract as much intel from the ship as she could. It was her first mission and it came from Director Fury himself. And it was a solo mission. Since Natasha was her mentor, she was the only other person who knew the details of her mission.
"I don't know, you're pretty young. You hardly look intimidating. May I suggest some eyeliner?" Natasha smirked at the brunette.
Autumn could feel her nostrils flaring in annoyance.
"No, thank you. Besides, maybe I'll throw off some of the bad guys with my innocent looks. They might think I'm too young and not want to hit me. Or they're bad guys so wait they actually might."
The Black Widow only rolled her eyes. Autumn talked a lot, but she actually was growing fond of her.
"Yeah, sure. You set for tomorrow?"
Autumn nodded her head confidently.
"Yes, I am."
"Are you excited?" Natasha sarcastically asked.
"Excited is not the word...but I'm ready. Do I have to wear this skin tight black suit? Doesn't SHIELD issue something a little more comfortable than this?"
"No, now shut it and let's see how it looks on you."
"Ugh. You sound like my mom."
"I dare you to say that again."
The 26-year-old brunette originally entered the SHIELD academy in hopes of working in the Advanced Technology Division, but upon her initial entry, SHIELD had discovered her powers, something she originally wanted to keep a secret. Autumn had the unique power of conducting electricity. When Director Fury caught wind of her abilities, he approached her immediately and convinced her to train as a field agent. With the help of SHIELD, Autumn learned to control her powers and it didn't take long before it was second nature to her. She could gesture at an object and electrocute it in it an instant. Not to mention she gained some bad ass fighting skills.
After graduating SHIELD academy, Fury had her training with Natasha every so often. When Autumn had questioned the director, he told her it was because someone with her powers shouldn't settle for being just a SHIELD agent. Maybe someday Fury would recruit her as an Avenger? But she thought that would be highly unlikely. Or maybe someday he would recruit her to be on the STRIKE team instead. As much as she wanted to question the man, she decided not to. If Fury wanted her to train in hopes of becoming more than a SHIELD agent, then she wasn't going to question it. Especially if she was able to train with the Black Widow herself. After training with Natasha for the past three months, Autumn got her first mission and was going solo.
And she was ready.
Autumn landed swiftly on the deck of the Lemurian Star but had missed her landing point by a good fifty yards.
"Crap...way to go, Autumn. First mission and you're already messing up," she cursed quietly to herself.
She quickly got rid of her parachute and sought cover. Fifty yards normally wouldn't be an issue, but on a ship full of armed bad guys walking around? Yeah, it was a problem.
Autumn quickly and discreetly made her way to the ship's operation room. It took a few minutes and longer than she expected to successfully avoid being seen, but she had managed and made her way into the operation room, which was thankfully empty. She had originally planned to knock out whoever was in there by electrocuting them. From the intel she previously gathered, there were SHIELD agents being held hostage on the ship and an extraction team would help get them out. She had nothing to do with that mission though. Extracting that intel was her primary focus.
The brunette darted to the one of the middle computers and plugged in the flash drive SHIELD instructed her to use. She immediately went to work and began to extract the intel. But only two minutes into her job, someone came bursting through the door, causing Autumn to throw her hands up.
"Easy there, Pikachu. It's just me," the red head informed.
Autumn felt her mouth open in shock but she quickly collected herself and instead, turned angry.
"Damnit, Nat! I almost electrocuted you!" Autumn whisper/yelled in frustration and put her hands down. "What the hell are you even doing here?"
"Sorry, kid. We have to expedite this process. They know we're here," Natasha informed as she started typing away.
"This is my mission, Nat. Did Fury lose faith in my abilities or something? Is that why you're here?" Autumn groaned in annoyance. She wanted to say a lot more but if "they" knew they were there, it would just be best to shut up for the moment and ask questions later.
"You're doing a wonderful job, Autumn. I just need to get this intel."
Autumn narrowed her eyes at the redhead but when the door all of a sudden burst open, she rose her hands again towards the two men who came toppling in. She gasped when she realized one of them was none other than Captain America himself. She watched as he delivered a hard blow to the other man's face, knocking him out cold.
Why is Captain America here? What the hell is going on?
Obviously, this mission or whatever intel they were extracting was a serious deal and much more bigger than she thought.
"Well, this is awkward," Natasha announced with a smirk, taking only a brief moment to glance at the super soldier.
"What are you doing?" Steve asked as he approached the two women. "Who is she?"
"Backing up the hard drives. It's a good habit to get into. Autumn, this is Steve. Steve, this is Autumn. SHIELD agent," she casually told the man.
"Rumlow needed your help. What the hell are you doing here?"
"Yeah, I was wondering the same thing," Autumn finally spoke.
Steve briefly looked at the smaller woman, who seemingly looked angry herself, not to mention young, before turning his attention back to what Natasha was doing.
"You're saving SHIELD intel," the Captain observed.
"Whatever I can get my hands on."
"Our mission was to rescue hostages-"
"No, that's your mission," Natasha quipped. Once the files were successfully extracted, she pulled the hard drive out and smirked at the man. "And you've done it beautifully."
Steve narrowed his eyes and forcefully grabbed her arm, stopping her as she attempted to walk away.
"You just jeopardized this whole operation."
"I think that's overstating things."
"Well I had everything under control here until you came along," Autumn glared at the woman. Nothing was making sense. But her attention was quickly averted when she saw the other man get up and toss a grenade in their direction. "Look out!"
Steve deflected the grenade with his shield but it was still too close to them. Autumn attempted to electrocute the grenade but missed her target by only a few inches. She gasped when Steve forcefully grabbed her and jumped over the tables. She heard the sound of a gun shot and glass breaking right before the grenade went off. She clutched onto Steve as tight as she could and shut her eyes as he attempted to carry them away to safety.
She and Steve landed with a roll but Steve was able to recover quickly than she was and dragged her with him to seek cover behind the wall.
"What the hell..." Autumn groaned, her ears ringing loudly.
Steve peeked over the wall to see if they were clear and let out a grunt as he collapsed beside the brunette. He looked down at the woman and saw that a piece of glass was sticking out of her right temple. Nothing huge, but it was causing a lot of bleeding. He quickly cupped her face, catching her off guard.
"Hey!" Autumn snapped and tried to push him away.
"Hold still," he firmly ordered.
Autumn got a good look at the man's face. Despite the situation, she couldn't help but find his blue eyes so captivating. Steve carefully removed the glass and placed her hand over her wound.
"Keep pressure on it."
"Okay...that one's on me," Natasha admitted while gasping for air.
"You're damn right," the soldier angrily agreed as he got up and took off.
Natasha turned to look at Autumn, who looked more than discontent herself.
"Don't look at me like that, Carmichael."
"I think I have every right to give you whatever look I want," Autumn said, challenging her mentor.
In any other instance, Natasha would choke slam anyone who would talk to her like that. But this was her mentee and she did have some spunk, which she could appreciate.
"I'll tell you once we get off this ship."
Natasha held out her arm and helped the smaller woman up.
"This isn't how I imagined my first mission going."
"Trust me, that's what everyone says that on their first mission."
Hope you all enjoyed. I appreciate reviews and constructive criticism but please, no flames. Let me know what you think!
Till next time. :)
