CHAPTER 1

I sat at the computer putting in all the new recruit's medical information, I had spent the better part of the day doing physical checkups on all the new recruits SHEILD had hired. "Hey, Lilly, I'm gonna head home for the night, are you sure you will be ok for the night?" I looked up from my typing to see my co-worker, Julia, standing at door to my office.

"Huh, oh, ugh…. What time is it?" I looked down at my computer.

"11 O'clock, your shift ended two hours ago, mine ended an hour ago, but I stuck around to brief the night crew on all our new files and recruits. You look exhausted Lilly, maybe you should just go home and have one of the nurses finishing updating the computers."

I shook my head no as I adjusted my glasses on my face. "If you want a job done right then you should do it yourself, and besides it's not as lonely here as it is at my apartment." I smiled a little as Julia gave me a sad look, Julia was an older woman in her early forties, Julia was the closest thing some people in the medical wing had to a mother.

"Oh, honey. If you want a place to crash then you can just come home with me, I am sure Larry won't mind and besides Larry loves you, he sees our daughter in you." I smiled at Julia.

"Didn't Larry tell you not to bring home strays anymore." Julia laughed as she adjusted her purse on her shoulder. "Yes, but you are not a stray Lilly. Good night, don't stay up here all night." I waved bye to Julia as she left and then got back to work, I still had a whole stack of files to put into the computer. I groaned and got up for a cup of coffee, this is going to be a long night.
