~●Kidagatash Von Tisly●~

I lunged at the Chitauri soldier with my silver sword in hand and with a quick twist of my wrist it's head fell to the ground. More and more of them kept coming at me but I didn't give up that easily. My elbows went straight to the stomachs of the two that were behind me making them fly back and hit the wall on the other side of the street.

Wondering how I got in such a mess? I'm going to tell you in an instant.

~●-2 Months Earlier-●~

I was sitting, dying out of boredom, at my favorite table at the corner of the cafeteria of my office building. I was just playing with the blue tea in the paper cup, I was given by the nice lady behind the counter whose name I learned, was Charlotte.

I'm not going to say that I've never been this bored before because it'll be a huge lie, still though, it was awful. And when I finally thought about going home and leaving all of this boredom behind something quite unexpected happened.

My long-term friend and coworker, Jeremiah Heit, came running through the double doors into the quiet room making the few people's chat stop. He started frantically looking around as if looking for something. As it appears, I was what he was looking for, because when he saw me he ran full speed in my direction. He finally reached my side and pulled me out and into the corridor by the hand, maybe just a little bit too quick. It's strange how he acts like a 50 year old kid while he is actually 3934. I used to tell him to finally start acting his age and after I had turned my back to him I knew he had his tongue stuck out. He's always been a unique thing.

Jeremiah continued to drag me to an unknown destination (at least to me, it was) until he finally stoped infront of the Basement door. Before I had the chance to ask if he had any intention on telling me what he was doing, he cleared his throat and told me:

"Listen closely, I won't have the chance to repeat. The Court decided that the human insanity that's been going on lately has to stop. And for that to be done they need one of their best Agents to go tell the humans what to do. It seems that those brainless little creatures are wondering "What the Heaven are we supposed to do with the Tesseract?". So that's where you come in. Rumour has it that the Court has chosen you to fly down to the Earth and be the one to save the human race from the mass destruction they're gonna inflict on themselves. And about ten minutes ago, when I was done with my papers and was about to go train a bit, I bumped into Ghost Eustace, who told me to go find you and tell you to visit them at the Basement. " As soon as he finished, I noticed that he's breathing heavily.

I just looked at him, still unable to believe the words he just spoke. But then a second later, I knew he was right, that I was the best choice the Court could make and I sure as Heaven was going to complete my mission. I looked into his eyes again and nodded my head in appreciation, thanking him for the good news and useful information he delivered.

I wordlessly opened the door of the Basement disappearing behind it. I took in the image of the most well secured part of the whole building. The 'Basement', as we call it, is the place where Court Meetings have taken place for over 10 000 years. This was not my first time walking into this hall, yet every time I do it feels different, I go on a different adventure.

As soon as I saw the wooden double doors with two heavily armed man on each side, I knew that there was no backing out of this. When I reached the door the guards put their spears in front of it securely and one of them ordered:

"Name, level and business to be around."

I looked up from the floor and from one look into his eyes I knew that he didn't like it when someone wasted his time.I understand I don't like it too:

"Kidagatash Von Tisly, Level Omega, I've been summoned by Ghost Eustace. "

The guards just looked at each other and the blonde one on the left side of the door, Kane Taeson, planted his eyes into mine.

"Kida, what did you do?" he asked worriedly. "Did you get into a fight with the Training Section security again?" Jimmy continued getting me frustrated.

"Quiet, Jimmy. I hadn't done anything wrong. And I thought you'd know about the rumors." I said coldly. "After all, that's all you ever do!"

Jimmy and the other guy, Caelan, again sent glances to one another and pulled their spears away from the door so I could walk in. They both pushed the door open and I calmly stepped into the Gothic looking room. The floor and the columns that reached the ceiling were black marble while the walls were a night sky blue. That though didn't mean that the room is dark and eerie. The dark floors and walls gave the room a majestic aura while the small Starlights gave off their silver light, lighting up the were no windows although half of the wall on my left was covered with light blue silky curtains.

The interior of the room, although very beautiful, wasn't what caught my attention. In the middle of the room was the white marble table, where all of the Court's decisions are taken. Around the table on the same white marble chairs sat all of the Ghosts in their usual black robes with their hoods up their heads. They turned their heads to me perfectly synchronized, as always.

The next words of my well respected employer were quite unexpected and caught me off guard:

"Kidagtash Von Tisly, we have been waiting for your arrival." said Ghost Eustace. "Take a seat." they all ordered together as one.

Thinking about it now, it was very extraordinary. The Ghosts never gave anyone the option to sit. Never. That means that they're either going to make me go to the Underkingdom or Jeremiah had been right. I pulled the chair at the nears end of the table, sitting directly in front of Ghost Eustace.

"Agent Von Tisly, as you've probably heard by now, there is a lot happening on Earth at the moment. The humans posses a device from outer space, that they are uncertain how to deal with. The device is called The Tesseract and it is a battery of clear energy and most importantly, technology that isn't known to the Earth yet. This will be your next mission, Agent Von Tisly, to discretely give them a push in the right direction, so that they won't end up burning their whole planet down." He paused for a second taking a black folder, that I hadn't noticed till then, from the table and pushing it lightly so that it slid all the way to me.

Opening it, I saw a big , and quiet ugly, building the side of which was decorated with big bold letters 'STARK'. The next pages were covered with pictures and information about the people that I was to meet soon telling me all that I could ever ask about them-name, age, biography, current location, qualification and most importantly soft spots and weaknesses. However, I never read those paragraphs, as I prefer to reach these conclusions on my own. That's all I ever need to know.

Before I had the time to ask Ghost Eustace spoke up again:

"You will leave tomorrow morning at 05.00. We have a place settled for you near the Stark Tower, so you could watch the target 24/7. As for the tactics you will use, we trust your judgment so that will depend on you. All you have to do is catch the attention of the human organization for protecting the human kind , or otherwise said S.H.I.E.L.D, and then give them the orders they need." I nodded curtly at every sentence he said waiting for him to dismiss the meeting, so I could go pack my bags. "That's it Agent Von Tisly. Court dismissed."

I got up quickly and walked out the door waiting to be embraced in a warm hug by Jeremiah. It's something he always does when I meet with the Court. I think he does it to comfort me but I feel like it helps him more, that's why I just go with it.

Oh, and there we go. Jeremiah hugged me and when the moment was over the interrogations began.

"What did they ask? Did they tell you you're going to the human world? Was I correct about you being chosen? I was right, wasn't I? When are you leaving? Am I allowed to come with you? Why didn't they allow me to come along last time?..." Every next word irritated me more than the one before.

"Because you're too noisy! "A yell spread out into the hallway, coming from my throat. Starting to walk again, I heard his footsteps behind me.

All he did was walk behind me. I thought I'd finally made him keep his mouth shut for a second, but then again people don't change.

"That was mean, you know. I was just trying to..."

"Get as much information as you can?"questioningly interrupted I.

Don't get me wrong Jeremiah Heit is the best friend a girl could ask for but the disadvantages that come with him are countless. I finally reached my car and considering that he lived alone and didn't have anything better to do I invited him to my house to help me pack for the journey. During the ride, I told him everything that happened in the Basement. We left the borders of the Polits Doxas City and 20 minutes later we finally arrived at the mansion I like to call home. He helped me pack all of the personal belongings and gear I might need for the mission and after all was done we just sat in my leaving room sipping champagne in front of the fire place.
