"The Lab is about to explode!"
"You'll always be nothing to me."
"I am Lady Integrity."
Emma Butler jerked awake, her body panic-stricken, her hair stuck to her face and her mind all over the place; she looked around her room and remembered where she was, that she was safe. She sat up and led against the cool, soft pillows, her breathing returning to normal as she came down from her high.
These nightmares were nothing for her, they've been happening to her ever since the incident with her sister, it was the only way her brain was able to get all the bad memories out.
She looked at the clock and saw the clear red digits read four o'clock. She knew her mind wouldn't let her get back to sleep, her nightmares would only come back to haunt her.
She threw on some tracksuit clothes and padded downstairs to the Kitchen, she turned on the light and winced as her eyes took their time to adjust, she froze on the spot when she saw that Director Nick Fury was stood in her Kitchen.
"Director Fury, it's been awhile," She greeted with a tired smile.
"Yes, it has," Director Fury acknowledged.
"What can I help you with this time?" Emma asked she started to make herself some coffee.
"We need your help to save the world," he answered.
Emma swayed on the spot, her miost hands held onto the counter for support, she bit her tongue to stop herself from screaming in Nick Fury's face, she took her time to calm herself as she poured the rest of her coffee into the mug.
She turned to him and spoke, "You remember what happened last time I tried to save the world."
Director Fury smiled lightly, "But times have changed, and mankind doesn't know how much they need you right now, Heli-carrier leaves at seven hundred hours," he handed her a file, turned and left Emma to make her decision.
Emma sat at the counter and flipped through the file, it had all the information about what she would be letting herself in for if she did join; it told her all about Loki and the Tesseract, what it could mean for innocent civilians if he wasn't stopped. She closed the file and sat in silence as her thoughts swirled around her mind like a hurricane, she knew that she had to do what was right but she so afraid that history would repeat itself. Emma looked at the clock, she then stood up and started to get ready.
