SHIELD Families c1

AN: hello, this is a new idea I have been thinking of, I hope you enjoy ;) I do not own any marvel characters. Don't forget to review and favourite. Enjoy

Location: Triskelion

Commander Hills entered the triskelion swiping her id as she entered the elevator, Director Fury had called her in for an important meeting. It had been six months since Hydra revealed itself luckily Fury and several other agents had discovered this before they made their move and thanks to them all Hydra agents had been caught or killed, not without causalities if it weren't for AJ she herself would have been one. As far as they could tell they have identified all the Hydra heads around the globe and Shield and the government have taken them all down. They now had assets all over the globe making sure no one else would start Hydra up again. Gillian Malick was one of the hardest to get to seeming he had hands in pockets all over the globe but thankfully the CIA took care of him when he fled to Iran nobody knows why he went there. Things were back on track SHIELD was once again the respected organisation around the globe. Director Fury had made it his personal mission to make sure no one else would ever penetrate SHIELD again, she thinks it had something to do with Pierce being Hydra that had taken on toll on him even though to anyone else he seems unfazed but she knows him well enough to know that he is fazed. Every agent has gone through extensive tests to determine their loyalties, Fury has upgraded the lie detective tests to one that even Romanov could not beat. Once that was done the agency went back to its original status, protecting the public. Maria knows that there has been an increase in rumours of powered people, this is what Fury has Coulson and his team working on. She knows Fury has increased the amount of people under his command and that he now is level nine like herself. That his team has proven themselves on numerous occasions, she wonders if this has to do with the fact that he knows everything about the Tahiti project. All of this goes through her head as the elevator goes up to the penthouse floor as the door opens to director Fury's floor.

"So he calls you here too?" Maria looks up to the blonde slouching in the seat outside his office door

"Good morning to you too AJ." Maria smiles

"Sorry, Good morning Commander Hills." AJ smirks "Do you know why he would call us here this early?"

"I guess we will find out."

The door opens and that's their cue to enter, Director Fury was sitting at his desk with several files spread out.

"Morning Maria, Alexa you're probably wandering why I have brought you here this early. Well as of two nights ago one of Coulson's team members have disappeared. Now he wanted to keep it in house but when he gets a call from me, well he can't lie. Now I promised him I will keep it quiet but I would send him some reinforcements. Alexa your particular skills will come in handy with this and Maria as her SO and your friendship with Coulson I thought you might want be on this. Take a Quinn Jet out to the bus he is expecting you. Also you should know this agent she's gifted."

"You mean agent Skye?"

"Yes, she was taken by a teleporter while on a mission…"

"Teleporter sir?" AJ interjects trying to calculate the probabilities of teleportation to which Fury raises his one good eye at.

"As I was saying Coulson's team has been following up on possible gifted when there search led them to a city there agent Skye was following a suspect into a chamber but when back up tried to follow let's just say Fitz-Simmons discovered the city has a defence mechanism when they finally found a way into the chamber agent Skye was unconscious and according to her blood tests her entire DNA structure had changed. Coulson needed back up and agent May made a choice to take her in the field where she excelled at saving Coulson and the innocent civilians but as they made their way back to the bus Coulson describes a burst of blue light appearing around Skye a man appeared then both of them disappeared. It so happens that it was caught on camera, now Coulson believes that if Skye can get a message to them she will try but I need you to join up with them and do what I made you promise never to do."

"But you made me swear to never do that again or there will be serious consequences."

"Agent Skye is Coulson's protegee AJ," Maria prompted both Fury and herself could see her crunching the numbers in her head, after a slight hesitation she nodded.

"Very well I will get my bag from my car then I will meet you at your QJ." She said nodding to Fury then smiling at Hill and left the office knowing that Fury wanted to speak to Maria, being her protegee she knows Fury's glares and he wanted to speak to Maria privately.

This would not be the first time he called on her SO for these types of missions. Maria knows how to translate her when she gets lost in her head in the numbers, most people won't understand their relationship it goes beyond an SO and rookie, even more than mentor and protegee. Maria was there for her after her parents died, she was a genius and without her parents guidance the world just didn't understand her. She became isolated and lost, she did some pretty terrible things on her laptop pushing the limit testing even her own skills before Maria came along before some very brutal men came after her, even agencies like NSA, FBI and DOD were on her radar no doubt wanting to lock her in a deep whole. When Maria came to her she doubted her as well, but she proved herself she took Alexa under her wing. Taught her many things when she was first brought into shield they wanted to know how a 14 year old could by pass all those systems within minutes but to this day Alexa never told anyone how she did it. They did a test and it showed that she has an IQ of 193 at first Nick Fury wanted her as an asset but after seeing Maria take down the Russians that came after her she wanted to be an agent and seeming the relationship between them Maria agreed to be her SO when she turned 16 until then she got to live a normal life under Maria's supervision. So she got legally adopted by Maria and while living a "normal life" she got her PhD in engineering, computer science learnt Japanese, and Chinese (to add to her knowledge of Russian, German and French) also minored in biology. During which this time she drew blueprints on an AI system and over the next five years her ideas became a reality. During this time she also completed her time in the operation academy. She did one year before she graduated where Maria took her under her wing to further her studies, when she was tied down with paperwork she would send her to Romanov and Barton where they too would help her and take her on missions. Her high IQ would help them out on several occasions but her low EQ did not make her many friends, if it weren't for her being Maria's protegee many people would not give her the light of day. Thinking back to when she first meet Tasha and Clint she noticed the way they looked at her, but she won there respect and if it wasn't for Maria working on how to feel or show emotions it would be more difficult. As Alexa hopped in the elevator she summed her six years with Maria efficient being with her has made her more efficient. She exited the elevator and headed to the garage, being an agent she always carried a go bag which she kept in the back seat.
