"Agent Paloma!" Fury barked.
"Yes, Director Fury?" I grinned at my brother.
"One more outburst like that, and i will send you to work in the labs!" Nick growled.
"Oh Gods no!" I cried. I hated desk work, but being stuck in the lab?
"Then i suggest you be less.. reckless on your next mission, sister." He said, and walked away. Yes, it's true, we are full-blood siblings. I was lighter in color than Nick, but i was still his little sister.
"Nari. Did he beat you again?" A voice asked from behind me.
"No, Sir. Why do you ask?" I turned around to face Agent Phil Coulson with a fake smile on my face.
"Because i can tell. You aren't being your normal self. And you know i can tell when you lie." He said.
"Fine. Yes, he did beat me again. But please! Don't tell Nick! Axle was drunk! He didn't know what he was doing!" I cried. Axle is my husband. Axle Alexander, which is why i had my last name legally changed to Paloma.
"It's too late, Nari. I already know." Nick said from behind me.
"I'm sorry. I'm so, so, so sorry Nick." I sobbed.
"It's okay, Nae. You should've told me sooner, though." Nick said, hugging me. I looked like i am in my twenties, but in all truth, I'm the same age as Nick. My body and mind are 28, as i have powers, and i wasn't born until 28 years ago, as i was made in a petri dish. I can control my age, and a lot of other stuff, like i have wings. I can also control elements, and create anything out of anything. You want a horse made of steel? I can do it.
"But Nari? I'm putting you in the lab. Something's come up, and i need you to help track down the tesseract." Nick said. I nodded.
"Okay. I assume you need help getting Bruce Banner to agree to help us?" I asked.
"Yes. That is your job, Agent Paloma." He said, and i nodded, already headed for the quinjet.
