Being a college student wasn't the easiest thing in the world, sure the parties and the free booze were perks but not for Caiside who currently juggled two majors and a part time job which she was currently rushing to. Caiside was a psych and pre-med student, she knew it was hard work, essays due every time she turned but she hadn't minded. It was her dream. But enough about her ambitions and dreams, let's enjoy her story.
Location- SHIELD Interview Room, NY City
Third Person POV
A young woman dressed in a mandatory uniform the color of navy blue sat in the silver chair behind the a large table where several items sat. A notepad, several red pens and then the agent's file which stated her name "Caiside Lynx" on the tab sticking out. The door opened, revealing another agent who held two bottles of water; The young woman smiled as she took the water bottle from him "Thanks P.C." and she took a healthy sip of it as she looked to the camera that rested on the ledge of the ceiling in the room. "Caiside, This is for your own good. We need to know if you've been compromised." The older man said as he sat in the chair facing her. The woman shook out her light black tresses as she looked into his eyes; her opal eyes bright but guarded as she murmured "I haven't been compromised. I swear, Phil you know me…." Her voice rang true in the man's ears but it didn't matter what he thought. The council would make the final decision even if she was one of the Avengers. "It still needs to be done. Now recall everything from the last two years, and start from the beginning of the day I recruited you." He spoke solemnly as he clicked a button and the camera began taping her testimony. She took a deep breath as she faced forward, placed her hands on the table; folded as she kneaded them. The shadows in the room gone as they knew that was her weakness; she didn't see any way out of it so she began her tale.
Caiside's POV
My black hair messily braided into a French braid hit my back as my feet pounded against the sidewalk as I ran to the nearest alleyway, the sunrays hitting my glasses as they glinted sharply. "Invest in an alarm clock" my mind chastised me as I ran past several tourists who spoke an obscene language before I took a sharp turn left into a darkened alleyway. My bangs fell into my eyes as I blew them away, the alleyway catching my eyes as I survey it quickly to make sure no one was there. Discarded boxes and paper flew around as I walked steadily into a shadowed spot. "Hopefully this will help…" I muttered as I let the shadows overtake my presence; transporting me away.
Agent Phil Coulson's POV
He watched as the young woman disappeared within the shadows of the alleyway. He tapped the side of ear; "Director Fury, I've found her." Static could be heard just for a second before a smooth calm voice answered back "Be ready to recruit her today." He automatically stood up as he answered "I will" he made the motion to fix his tie as he dropped his hand down, ending the call between his superior and himself. He stepped out of the alleyway; the sunlight hitting him instantly as a black car arrived just for him.
Back to Caiside's POV
Stepping out of the shadows from behind the shop where I worked caused me to shiver as I hit the warmth of the atmosphere. "Shadows are much more cooler" I murmur as I rub my arms to acclimate to the warmth. My temperature finally rose, so I was no longer shivering; I push my glasses up with index finger as I walked into the shop. The smell of books, new and old filled my senses as I smiled softly. I fixed my hair the best I could before I emerged from the back, only to face the manager Lauren. 'uh oh' was all that ran through my head as her expression turned into a sneer. "Oh Caiside, how nice to see you…." Her watch on her wrist was in my sight and it read 9:00 am. 'Not late, whew..' an inward sigh of relief left me as a harsh sigh escaped her. "I guess I can't fire you….." her voice trailed off; soaked with disappointment as she brushed past me harshly. Her dark eyes met mine as she snapped "Reshelf the Mythology books then go over to fiction" and she quickly walked away as I just smirked while I skipped over to the dark wooden shelves filled with books that called my attention. Breathing in deeply, I moved to clear them out "Hmm.. Norse Mythology" I wondered aloud as I stared at a cover that beheld the indention of a city amongst clouds, it seemed. Flipping randomly to a page, I found a title of a chapter that read "The Princes Of Asgard, Thor, God of Thunder and Loki, The God of Mischief and Lies" I read the title aloud before switching to read silently before a smooth clear voice interrupted my reading. I look up to see a middle aged man in a simple black suit. 'Like men in black' I faced him fully with the book still held in my hand. "Caiside Lynx?" he asked as he watched my movements carefully.
I look to him in slight suspicion as my hand itched towards the shadows and they moved slightly too; "I wouldn't do that Ms. Lynx" he cautioned as if he could tell what I planned to do. "Why not?" I asked as I still moved my hand. "Because even if you manipulated the shadows, we would still know where you are." His answer stopped my hand as I sighed "who are you? Don't lie… or else I'm gone." I warned as I turned slightly to place the book on the shelf on the other side. "Agent Coulson of SHIELD" he took out a file in a swift motion as he began to read "And you are Caiside Lynx, Age 24. Double major in Psychology and Pre-Med. Family alive and well-employed." He snapped the folder shut as he looked to me directly. My heart was thumping as I wondered what kind of organization was this but my facial expressions were still calm and collected as I breathed in deeply. "Agent Coulson, what does this SHIELD want with little ol me?" He gave a slight corner lipped smile as he answered "Recruitment, Ms. Lynx , recruitment. Due to your abilities, SHIELD would like to offer you a position" his words hinted at more, like if I refused I would be monitored still. I brushed a hand up to untie my French braid as a sigh escaped my lips "It's not really an offer if I still would have SHIELD 'observing me' " I stated as I fixed my hair. "SHIELD monitors all potential threats, Ms. Lynx" his words confirmed it. I stepped forward out of the comfort of the shadows; "I'll accept on one condition…" my glasses had slipped down my nose by just a smidge. "State it." He said smoothly as he watched me push my glasses back up. "I break my glasses frequently and I'm not wearing contacts…bad memory with contacts. So I need to know if I break my glasses doing SHIELD business, I'll need new ones." I left the offer hanging as I stuck out my hand for him to shake, to agree to this one silly request. My thoughts were broken as my hand was suddenly grasped by his "Done." He smiled a quirky smile as he touched his ear.
"Sir, commence with training?" he asked an unknown person causing me to be extremely curious. "Yes, commence with training." The mysterious voice answered back as he began to walk to the front of the store where Lauren was. "Training?" I asked in a small tone as I imagined some gruesome training exercises; I never was one for sports….especially running. "Yes, training. Ms. Lynx; your abilities do have drawbacks. You will need to know how to defend yourself and to attack when needed, and also the skills that SHIELD agents normally have." He answered back quickly and efficiently just as we made it to the front where Lauren sat as she looked upon both of us with disdain. "What's the problem?" she asked tiredly with a hint of annoyance. "Caiside will no longer be working here, Due to managerial harassment." He stated calmly as I watched in silent amazement as he basically put Lauren in her place. Lauren's shrill voice soon filled my ears as she asked "Really? And who are you?" Coulson just placed a slight touch the business suitcase he held "Her lawyer." He smiled a fake charismatic smile as Lauren was gulping air like a fish out of water.
I was holding back laughter as Agent Coulson nodded and left, holding his suitcase as he walked away with confidence. I shot one last look to Lauren who was still gobsmacked; I tilted my head to her before catching up to Agent Coulson as he waited at the edge of the sidewalk. Soon Laughter filled the air as I took breaths to say "That was Brilliant!" Agent Coulson just smiled as a black SUV showed up just then. I was still laughing inwardly as a thought came to me. "Hey do you have something else I can call you?" I asked as we both entered the SUV. "Phil" he replied back as he soon fished out a simple gleaming smartphone and handed to me; I took it from his hand as he turned and nodded to the driver. I looked down to the phone with a tentative touch as I wondered aloud "I already have one…" I checked the phone suspiciously. "I know, that phone is strictly for SHIELD purposes. My number is already in there due to the fact I am your handler" he stated in on ego, causing me to take a double take. "Handler? Like a babysitter?" I questioned this as he looked to me directly "Yes, Handler. Supervising officer, I will be the one where all your training and other skills sets will be reported to as you face on training." He said coolly as I was still faced with the imaginings of the horrors of training; call me a wimp but physical stuff was never my forte…
I nodded "Alright then P.C". He then glances to me in surprise "P.C?" I fiddle with my hands as I answer him "well….Phil Coulson equals P.C" I just shrugged as I looked to him. "Its Simple." He stated bluntly as I nod "Sometimes simple is best" He just sighs as he looks to his phone; checking his emails as the driver takes us to our destination.
CURRENT TIME
Third Person's POV
Stretching like a cat; Caiside turns to Phil who was still writing down certain notes, like her body language and the other useless information she didn't believe was necessary in her case against the council which she was sure was biased and she knew that execution was an option that those old farts would consider in her case. She truly didn't even think of her actions or the ramifications of them when she fell in love with the god of mischief.
