I don't own Agents of Shield, but if I did I would be so happy right now.

What a stupid mistake I have made. Getting on SHIELD's radar. I have been quiet and carful for so long, now I am running again. I pick pocketed a wallet from someone higher up thinking that they wouldn't notice and now I am being chased. Good thing I know where I am going. Just when I think that I have my escape, I am tackled to the ground.

"Shit, what is wrong with you people? Can't you have some courtesy for someone?" I asked

"Ashlyn Claire, you are under arrest." I did not pay attention to the rest of what they said but whatever. Mom and dad are not here anymore, they died in the Battle of New York. I was supposed to go into foster care but when they came to get me I was already gone and living on the streets.

The next thing I know something is thrown over my head and I couldn't help but refuse and say something that I know I would regret later on.

"You know if you wanted to take me somewhere, you could have just asked me." I said.

They obviously didn't check me because if they did, they would have found a few knives. I started to squirm and fight until a relative calm voice said to calm down.

"Miss Claire please settle down, we don't want to hurt you." I heard the voice say but I couldn't help but laugh at the snort that came from someone else.

"Fine, but if you must know, your one agent is missing a wallet." I said with a smirk even though nobody could see it.

The one driving started cursing when he realized that I was right and indeed had his wallet. What can I say, I have mad skills.

Once I felt that we were stopped and led away, we were put into rooms. The bags on our heads were removed.

"Miss Claire, before we are offering you a job here at SHIELD. My name is Agent Phil Coulson and this is Agent Grant Ward. If you don't accept this offer you will be handed over to the authorities. Are we clear?"

"Do I get to keep my stuff or do I have to give it all back?" I asked, mostly out of curiosity

"If it is yours, keep it, but if it is not, then no." Agent Coulson said. He kind of reminded me of dad.

"Fine, I'll join SHIELD, but only on one condition. I need to say goodbye to my parents, and before you say anything they are dead." I said to them

"Deal, Ashlyn Claire, Welcome to Shield." Agent Coulson said.

I couldn't help but have this strange feeling that Ward was hiding something from everyone, that is what kept me alive these last few years.

After my interrogation I was met by two agents but they were not field agents, instead science. They called themselves Fitz-Simmons. Agent May drove the BUS and then I met Skye. She too was picked up but for a different reason then I was.

Feeling left out I looked at some pictures of mom and dad but along with my friends. We were in New York for a business trip for dad and mom. When everything went sideways, they told me to run and I did but when I looked back, that look would haunt me forever. When I turned around, I ran into Skye. She was easy to get along with but was on a mission.

"Hey Skye right? I'm Ashlyn but everyone calls me Ash." I said, I may have been on the run but I was still the bubbly, sweet girl who put everyone else first.

"Yes, nice to meet you Ash. I'm guessing that you were in the same vehicle as me?" She asked me.

"Yeah, I took Ward's wallet not realizing he was SHIELD, now I'm stuck here, are you going somewhere because if you are I could sure use a break and time to regroup." I asked her.

"Yeah, I saw Mike Peterson save someone today, I'm going back, you coming?" She asked. I shook my head and followed her. I could tell that I could get along easily with her.

After making sure nobody is following we get into her van and drive back to the site. As we arrived back to the place, where Skye was picked up we felt something fit the van then lights out for us.

When I opened my eyes, Mike Peterson was having Skye erase everything on his son and himself. I don't blame the guy. I think that I had a concussion from something, but I will be okay. That was until I heard gunshots and looked for something to defend myself with.

"Skye, Mr. Peterson are you two okay?" I asked concern for my new friend. She was the only so far who didn't treat me like I was a danger to anybody. I might have a record but that didn't mean that when someone was hurt on the street that opened my heart more to help people.

"Yeah Ash we're fine, but you might want to take it easy." Skye said. Mr. Peterson came over to check and see if I was okay and sure enough when a message is sent out to the team, the place is flooded with people who are not part of the team.

Just when I felt a bullet graze my arm, May, Ward and Coulson come in. I saw my knife and attacked the gunman as well. Well there goes my shot at having a team.

Ward shoots Mike (he insisted that we call him that, not Mr. Peterson) and we are headed back to the BUS. Back on the BUS I am pleased to find out that I'm not going to need stiches but will need antibiotic cream.

Simmons is worried that might get an infection. "Ashlyn please consider these antibodies, they will help you." Jemma said. I turned towards her and said. "Simmons its okay, I have been shot at before and nothing bad has happened, besides this is just a graze. I promise if I feel anything like my arm starting to go numb I will come to you. Promise. And please, call me Ash, my parents called me Ashlyn when I was in trouble. That goes for you too Fitz. Besides I can feel that we are going to get along." I said with a smile. For the first time in a long time it was a real true smile.

"Okay Ash. Agent May is looking for you though." Said Fitz.

"Thank you Fitz. See you both later." I said and walked out.

When I found Agent May, she was busy and I was about to turn around and come back later until she stopped me.

"Ashlyn Claire, daughter to Marissa Claire and Dante Claire, 23 years old, graduated high school and took self defense lessons. Your parents were great SHIELD agents." I stopped in my tracks. Mom and dad were agents? Since when?

"You need a SO, Coulson has placed me to train you and from the way I saw you today with the knife you are good, not great, but with some practice you can make it. See you at 05:00. Don't be late." Agent May said and dismissed me. Wow I have my work cut out for. Mom, dad if you are listening I can do this and I want to make you proud. Going back to see Fitz and Simmons I decided to see if they wanted to watch a movie or something, and wait for Skye.

This is my new family, I just better not mess it up. Now we are headed to go find a 0-8-4, whatever that means.

Going back to the rooms or bunks whatever they are called I took the picture of the necklace dad gave to mom and now I will keep it safe. This is my home now. Time to train my ass off.

And that's a wrap on chapter 1
