She walked down those cold but familiar corridors, how many times has she done this? it´s 4am and, as always, she can´t sleep. maybe it was the fact that she saw serial killers on a regular basis, she can´t help but dream about those bastards everyday , dreamt about them taking her family away ,doing to them what they do to their real victims , taking their humanity and faith away . She couldn't bear with that ,so, she preferred to skip sleeping.

Athena stopped at a window to see the view; they were over water, perfect! If she was correct they were over the pacific, her favorite, she honestly didn´t know why, it was like it called her (sometimes she honestly thought she was crazy). She took a glance at her clock and noticed that she had time to do a little jump, the perfect way to relax.

She opened the emergency door that had been memorized so many years ago, it was like she was on autopilot, when she was stressed she headed to that door, everybody knew that too but never said anything, the only one that had asked her why was Fury and the only answer he received was "Because I want to" he was like a father to her but she didn´t want to tell him why she couldn´t sleep.

The air felt so cold and refreshing, inviting if you may, she felt the rush and adrenalin run through her veins when her purple fluffy slippers were on the edge of the door. Then, she jumped, and that was the best feeling ever, when she was half way down she put her hands out towards the water and made a sort of slide with it up to where she was. She just slid down until she reached the water and let herself sink, it really didn´t matter how long she was down there she could "breathe" under water, it wasn´t really breathing but something close to it she really didn´t know. After a while she jumped up and flew in the air, the impulse threw her about 20 feet in the air and before she could fall she caught herself in the air standing on water then jumped higher and caught herself 20 ft. higher, she had gotten good at this she could do flips and twirls in the air while she jumped and had gotten better at catching herself too, she jumped until she reached the ship and landed on the emergency door, purple slippers long forgotten in the ocean.

Athena´s POV

THAT FELT AMAZING! This always calms me, makes me feel alive and perfectly fine , makes me remember I´m still me and not one of the other personalities I have to create for this job , I feel complete .

Well now I have to start my day with my double shot Carmel and vanilla chocolate coffee, Fury wanted to tell me something, he sent Coulson to tell me about a meeting and he always comes himself to tell me this , unless it is something super important and serious , the last time he sent Coulson to get me he told us that we were ready to start our missions as a group and that my sister´s life depended on my calls and how I handled the situation, that was the scariest thing he ever told me next to the time he told me our parents died , so , in conclusion, it's never good news if he sends Coulson.

When I arrived to the cafeteria I went inside the kitchen and made myself my coffee , It was about 6 o clock by then and there were already people in the eating area , I really don't want to go out because I'm still wet and one of them will tell fury that I've been walking around the entire headquarters dripping on the floor he would tell me I'll get sick and I'm not really in the mood for lectures , one would think that when a girl turns 25 her father would stop telling her those things but not with Fury , even though he didn't seem like it , he was a very worried and protective father figure to me and my sisters ,we started calling him dad after 2 years of living in S.H.I.E.L.D and he really deserves the title , of course never call him like that when he is in a meeting or with someone important because he has to maintain a reputation that he is the unbreakable mean guy .

I took my coffee and headed straight to my room to change clothes, I put on my workout outfit that was a simple grey short with a purple tank-top and white sneakers , I'm not really into using formal clothes so I'll just go like this to meet him and then I'll leave to the gym I really hope it's not something I have to do now because I want to train with Charlotte and Violet.

At around 7 I head to the meeting room and find Charlotte and Violet already there , of course they'd be there before me, they love their scheduals and they are organized on such a level that I will never comprehend , I just deal with things as they come along , and of course they were with their standard uniform , they loved it as much as Natasha did .We met Nat when she was 16 and ever since then we've all been inseparable she is like a sister to us , I think she is in Russia right now, I'm not really worried the guy she's after is one of the easiest so she'll come home safe.

I sat next to Charlotte and started twirling in my favorite twirly chair , yep , I'm THAT childish sometimes. Violet looked at me and said

-You're late , again

-Sorry , I got distracted, besides he isn't here yet

-Why are you in your sport clothes?

-I want to work out later, want to come?

-I do! said Charlotte , - But after my meeting with Maria we were supposed to discuss new uniforms for us.

-Why new ones? I like the ones we have now - I asked.

-She told me that I would find out after talking to Coulson. Do you have any idea what this meeting is about?

- I'm not sure, but he sent Coulson so it might be something serious.

-Please do not get ahead of yourselves like you usually do- said Violet looking at both of us with a frown on her face.

-Party pooper -said Charlotte

I was about to answer but Fury came in before I could say a thing. He looked upset, well, more upset than usual to be exact.

- I know you're wondering why you're here, I promise I'll be brief.- he stopped talking and looked at each one of us before he continued, now I'm scared, he's never this nervous about things. -... Well, here's the deal, we need you three on an assignment, before you say anything, it's called the Avengers Iniciative.
