Please review!
Chapter One: All Bark, No Bite
"General Starr?" my second in command asked as she entered my office.
"What is it Roy?" I asked with a sigh as I looked up from my paperwork.
Noelle Roy looked at the floor and said, "S.H.E.I.L.D is on the phone again Lucy."
I groaned. They had been calling me non-stop for almost a month now. I put my head in my hands and squeezed my eyes shut. I took a deep breath before looking back at Noelle. "Tell them that I'm in a meeting or something."
"It's Director Fury though. He told me that he would come down here himself if you didn't answer," my second in command told me.
I let out a sigh. "Alright, put him through." Noelle walked out of the room and I sighed. "Hold on Noelle! Don't put him through!"
Noelle stuck her head in the door. "Are you sure about that Lucy? You really want him to come down here?"
"Fury is all bark no bite. If he really wants to talk to me that bad then he can come see me himself," I replied.
Noelle sighed and left. After a few moments I heard her say, "Director Fury? Yes. General Starr is currently in a meeting and can't take your call right now." There was a pause. "Director I don't think that is a good idea." Another pause. "I can have her call you back as soon as she can." One more pause. "Alright Director, I'll let her know."
I heard the click of a phone getting hung up and I placed my head in my hands.
"Lucy?" Noelle asked walking into my office.
"What Roy?" I asked already stressed enough about this whole dumb S.H.E.I.L.D thing.
"Fury will be here in about five minutes," she told me.
I let my head fall to my desk. I groaned and said, "Shit." I draped my hands across the back of my head. "Send him in when he gets here," I told Noelle not even looking up.
"Yes ma'am," she replied. I heard the sound of footsteps and then my office door closing.
I lifted my head and looked down at the clumps of paperwork on my desk. Why did Fury have to come now? Why couldn't it wait? And why did he need me?
I mean sure I had been an interest of S.H.E.I.L.D's since I first joined the army. Many women joined the army, but I was different than the others. I quickly climbed the ranks until I became the only female general in the army. I was also the youngest. I also commanded the only female squad in the army.
I got very close to the girls I worked with. It was dangerous though, getting close to them. I normally tried to distance myself from the soldiers I worked with, but these women were different.
I was deep in thought when there was a knocking on my office door.
"Come in," I called as I shoved my paperwork into one of my desk drawers.
Director Nick Fury walked into my small office and slammed his hands on my desk. I met his one good eye with my own two blue ones. "Is there a reason that you didn't take my calls?" he growled at me.
"I thought that my lieutenant explained to you that I was in a meeting," I growled back at him.
Fury glared at me. I folded my hands and waited for him to speak. "You and I know that is a lie."
"Please take a seat director," I said gesturing to the chairs behind him. With a low growl in the back of his throat the man took a seat. I leaned forward on my desk. "Now director, I plan to talk about whatever you want like a civilized adult. If you choose to ignore this request I will personally kick you out of this building. And you and I both know that I can and will be happy to do that."
The director blinked back at me. He nodded once and I sighed. I leaned back in my chair and gestured for him to talk.
"General Starr do you know about Captain America?" Fury asked. I nodded.
"I've read his file. Pretty impressive what he did," I said thinking back to the file that got shoved into the drawer with the rest of my paperwork.
"I agree," Fury said. "And if you've read his file then you know that he isn't from our time but from a time where the entire world was at war." I nodded again. "Then make the connection Starr."
I thought about it for a moment. He needed someone to introduce Captain America into our world and our technology. I gasped out laud when I figured out that he wanted me to be the one to introduce him.
"But why do you need me to do it?" I asked standing and walking out from behind my desk. I smoothed out the dark blue fabric of my skirt so that I wouldn't have to meet the director's eye. I leaned back against my desk and folded my arms.
The director didn't speak until I looked at him again.
"We need you to be the perfect match for Captain America."
