Erin Kloss's Pov
I wrapped my hand in a white bandage, training practice had been a little rough this morning. I had been a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent for a couple years now, ever since the accident.
*Flashback Starts*
I laid on the ground of my basement floor, everything was cold. The last thing I remembered was falling asleep in my room two floors up. I started freaking out when I couldn't touch anything, My body would just go right through anything I tried to touch. Then S.H.E.I.L.D., specifically the Agent Romanoff, found me and taught me. She took me under her wing and taught me how to turn my powers on and off. That night I found my parents dead. The cause- a factory illegally released chemicals in the air that they didn't want to pay to have it taken care of. I got powers, but they died and I'll never forget them.
*Flashback Ends*
After I left the medical wing I walked back to my room on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Base. I tried to avoid combat as much as possible, I was a spy (my phasing powers came in handy with that). I quickly put my training stuff down, changed clothes, and grabbed my bag for school. I was a senior in high school, 18, after this year a full time agent, hopefully. "Erin come on we're gonna be late!" My friend Candice yelled at me. Everyday she dropped me off at my high school and then did whatever she did. She probably went to see her fiancé or something. I really didn't care, I honestly was just glad I got a ride to school.
I ran out of my room to meet Candice in the "garage", that was much bigger then the average sized one. It was filled with all types of cars, Agent Coulson even kept Lola in here.
"Sorry Nat," I said as I bumped into her in the hall.
"No problem, how's the new training group going?" She asked me.
I gave her the you know how it's going look and said, "You know I'm not a on the field fighter. I'm better sneaking around and being a spy, i'm not ready"
Natasha gave a small laugh, "I didn't think I would ever be in direct combat on the field either, it's different, and it changes you as a person too. I'm sure you'll be fine. Now that's Hawkguy has retired for his family, I'm spending more time with the avengers. A team is a team, and sometimes it's better then going solo." She gave me a wink and left to do her level 8 classified business. Natasha wasn't at the base often, but was one of the things that inspired me to be a spy. She was a role model for me, especially after she helped me to control my powers.
•••
After school Candice picked me up and drove me back to the base. I had another training session, unfortunately. The first half of the training session was in what we call the war room. The goal is to last a long as you can without getting marked with a paint ball, symbolizing you were shot. The people on my team mostly had no powers, but they were all kick butt agents, a lot better then me. On the team their was Evan who was strong, 27, and was basically the leader, and did I say very opinionated? William was 24, kind of shy, but he was pretty good at strategy. Then their was Candice, 26, she was basically like a Amazon princess. She has golden blonde hair that flowed down her shoulders and legs for days, but she was tough and stood up to Evan when she felt she was right. Luna, 22, was a every now and then member, she had other priorities In life besides S.H.I.E.L.D. However, she knew they would always be a eye on her because of her powers. She could breath underwater, which is a lot more convenient and useful then you think. She wasn't dangerous, but Shield liked holding the cards and didn't want someone to use her. *cough* Hydra *cough*. The last member was Marvin, 17. He was a little inexperienced, we both were. He was in highschool, a junior. He just recently came to Shield. Both of his parents, Shield agents, got taken out. He was a good hacker, so we took him in and taught him how to fight and he's been on the team ever since.
The second part of training was in the beehive, as we call it. Just a room with workout machines, weights and such. Their was a giant boxing ring in the center, with only one rule- no powers. The entire room was surrounded by mirrors, like a dance studio almost. After our wipe out in the war room we chilled in the beehive. I was doing chin ups on one of the wall bars. William and Evan were going at it in the ring. While Candice pretended to do sit-ups while on her phone. Marvin lifted weights trying to get Candice's attention. He obviously didn't know she was engaged or he just didn't care, either way she was a woman and he was a little boy.
"Hey Erin want to go a round in the ring with Marvin?" Evan said. We both turned our heads in shock. Marvin obviously had no part in this. But we both knew Evan wasn't really asking. I mumbled a sure and walked to the ring with Marvin. Evan said " One, Two,Three, and Go!" I got into position letting Marvin make the first move, but I swear he was just shaking. I turned my head to see Evan and Will in a conversation about some new weapon. Marvin then says in a shaky voice, " I'll go easy on you because your a girl." At that point I was done, so I kicked his feet to make him lose balance, elbowed him in the face, and tackled him to the ground in one swift motion. Making both Evan and Will turn their heads at the fight.
I was about to taunt him about what he said about girls, but then Natasha walked in which made us all jump a bit. "Ok guys, training is over for the day," she stated. For someone so busy she had been around the base a lot today. Usually training went on till a certain time, a couple hours at least, no one usually stopped us. I wasn't gonna argue though, it just gave me more time to do what I wanted.
Everyone started to clear the training room when Nat cleared her throat and said, "Erin stay behind for a sec please." I did as I was told, I was hoping for a solo mission, maybe some classified material I needed to get or a destroy from the inside type of thing. "Do I have a mission?" I asked probably way to eagerly. She gave me her side smile, "Yes, but with the avengers, your special set of abilities are needed." I just burst out laughing, the Avengers didn't need me, "nice try Nat, and April Fools isn't for a long time."
"Erin, grab a overnight bag. I'm taking you to the Stark Tower for debriefing of the missions," she told me with a straight face. Oh snap she wasn't kidding. I once again did as I was told. When I was in my room I put a few clothes in a small duffle bag and some other one night essentials. For every mission I wore Long black pants and a short sleeve black t shirt, I was a Shield agent not a super hero who needs to wear a cape. I walked to the Garage and where Natasha was and she took me toStark Tower.
It was huge, I've lived in New York forever and I see the mansion everyday. But trust me, it looks even better on the inside. I felt like if touched anything it would break, it was all just so fancy. Nat took me up the elevator to a room with a bar and also a glass wall that lead to a balcony. It looked more like a party room then a debriefing room. Clint wasn't their, which I guess makes sense since he's in retirement, I mentally scolded my self for my stupidity. I Wish he was here, Clint would be the only one I knew besides Nat. The first person I meet was Captain America, aka Steve Rogers "Hello Mam," he said as he reached out to shake my hand. I shook it and gapped in awh. "I'm...I'm...Im..,"I stuttered. "She's Erin Kloss, a Shield agent," Natasha finished for me and I gave her a look of relief. The Hulk wasn't their and neither was Thor, damn he would have been nice to meet. I meet a girl named Wanda, she was nice, she was also really shy. The last one I meet was Tony, or as he might have put it The King of Manhattan and the savior of the world. "What's up shorty?" He walked in saying. "It's Erin," I said and I'm 5'5"," I snapped back. He laughed and replied, "well you just did nothing but prove my point, so you must be agreeing with me."
"Look Mr. Stark I'm not here for games, I'm here for a job, that's it," I told him. Natasha and the Captain were in a conversation, what a flirt she always was. Wanda was just sitting on the leather couch and what looked like staring off into space. "Call me Tony or your highness, which ever one you prefer," he said giving me a smirk. I was ready for a mission, not for this.
"Okay guys gather around the table," Tony said in a more serious voice. "Their is a Hydra base north of here. The goal is to slip in and slip out. "Erin," he turns to me, "We need your powers to go through some walls and then you need to save the information from the computer on a flash drive. On coms I'll direct you where to go," Tony explains handing me a small flash drive. I take it, honestly this mission would be a hundred percent easier without a team. If I went in by myself I would be done in twenty minutes flat. Tony continues, "Cap and Wanda hold your fire, we only need you if a fight starts. Natasha you know your job and what you need to get." "And what are you doing Tony?" Captain America questions. Tony him a look and jokingly says, " One- don't question me, and two- I'm getting Erin inside."
The mission starts off great. Captain and Wanda stay in the plane, waiting if something goes wrong. Natasha goes to complete her part. I have no idea what she's going to get, but it's probably a little secret mission for Fury. "Ready for this?" Tony says giving me his famous smile. I just grab his hand. He puts his suit into stealth mode and gives me a watch that puts me into stealth mode, creepy right? "So how are we gonna get down their exactly?" "You'll find out." He then picks me up and jumps out of the plan. I almost start screaming, before I remember its a covert mission. "You alright?" He questions in a mocking way almost. I shoot back, "yeah, I'm just not I fan of being in the air with a idiot guy being the only thing thats keeping me from falling to my death."
Iron Man gets me to the ground and I tell him I'll take it from here, so he just waits for me to get back. This part was a piece of Cake, I phase through the walls and the electric field getting to the computer. I get the information and then get out. However, when I get out Tony isn't where he left me, crap. I go on coms, "Iron Man, where are you? I'm literally right where you left me!" Tony comes in on coms and says, "hold on I got distracted." "Tony get Undistracted and pick Erin up," Captain America chimes in on the conversation. I'm getting angrier, "Iron Man my invisibility watch thing you gave me is almost broken and it is basically fried," all of a sudden the watch stops working, "Oh look at that, now it's broken! Just come pick me up before anyone-" Gun shots fire at me. I phase through all of them, but I accidentally let go of the flash drive and it falls by some tree. "Agent Kloss, report," I hear Captain America say. I tell coms, "I'm under attack, repeat, I am under attack." I grab the flash drive from the ground and start running. "I'll get her," I hear Natasha say. All of a sudden the bullets stop and I see Natasha take the guys out. "Let's go!" She tells me and we both start running. As we get closer to the plane we put down our guard a little and I hear a shot- Natasha goes down hard. The bullet goes right through her foot and she hits the ground knocking her out. I shoot down the guard and then grab Natasha. If we walk slowly and can hold on to her and keep us in a phase state, In case a bullet is fired at us again. I'm a little bit worried about Natasha, I notice she was also hit in the leg. When I get to the plane I yell for medical help. Wanda looks pretty nervous and Captain America takes Natasha and asks if I'm ok, in return I just give a slow nod.
When Tony finally shows up we all give him a look. "Where were you?" Captain America asks. They get into a little argument till I say, "Guys can we stop fighting or I'll phase the engine out of this plane." It lightens the mood a little bit but mostly helps us get back on track to returning to Stark Tower.
Once were at Stark Tower Medical takes Natasha in and does immediate surgery on her foot and leg, it will probably need some physical therapy before she can get back to fighting. Steve comes up to me and pats my back, "Why don't you stay the night, it's late and it's been a long day." He takes me my room and I thank him. I was of course worried for Natasha and also feeling guilty, so I decide to get a drink- of beer in the kitchen. It was only suppose to be one, but It turned to a couple more and more and more. Until I'm in a drunken state. "I'm sorry," Tony slurs as he walks in. I can tell he's drunk too, "For leaving you." "Oh the tin man has a heart," I joke, "it was my fault too I should have automatically been phasing me and Natasha through everything."
"Let's call it a night and say we both screwed up," he says In his drunken state. He was In some over-priced jeans, but missing his shirt, he was almost hot. Tony was a lot older then me, but I didn't really care. Age was just a number. I think he caught me staring at his chest, so I turned my head and blushed. I figured it was a good time to go to my room, so I got up and almost fell head first to the floor from being so drunk . Tony caught me and pulled me up. He helped walk me to my room. When we get to my room I give him a thanks and opened my door. As I started to go in he grabbed my wrist, pulled me over to him, and kissed me. I kissed back. He then picked me up and carried me to his room, and it just happened.
