Atlantic Ocean
July 5, 13:19
A S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet was flying over the Atlantic heading for the Heli-Carrier, meanwhile Nick Fury was having a conversation...
"So Speedy, Robin..." started Nick
"Actually it's Roy William Harper Jr." interrupted Speedy
"Yeah, & my name is Richard Jonathan Grayson" continued Robin, they both removed their masks revealing both of their blue eyes, Twilight & Sapphire, Nick was shocked at the fact they were so willing to reveal their identities.
"Why are you two so eager to reveal your identities to me?" asked Nick
"No, because the League's rules mean nothing to us anymore..." replied Speedy
"& besides, we're like members of a military right? That means you guys have a right to know our identities right?" asked Robin, Fury nodded in agreement
"We're about to reach the Heli-Carrier..." said Fury, the others looked outside & they saw the invisibility cloak disappeared revealing the Heli-Carrier, the both of them looked at the size of it in astonishment, they landed on the deck, they thought it looked like an average military deck, suddenly a voice on the speaker informed everyone they were ready to lift off, so they listened to the instructions & followed Nick inside, once the ship lifted off Nick fury begun to tell them of their assessment...
"Assessment?" asked Robin
"Yes Richard, we need to assess you to see what types of training we need to give you, Richard will be assessed by; Natasha Romanoff" replied Nick Fury "& Clint Barton will be assessing Roy" continued Fury
"Clint Barton?! The Hawk?! Undisputed champion marksman?!" asked a shocked Roy, Nick just nodded as he saw Natasha & Clint approaching them.
Natasha was a Russian female with red hair & green eyes, she wore red lipstick & black eye-liner, along with a black combat-suit only revealing her face, hands & upper chest, black high-heels & a utility belt with a Black Widow Spider symbol in the centre, she was equipped with various weapons including; Electro Disks, Two Glock Pistols, Smoke Bombs, EMP Devices, Wire & Spray.
Clinton was a Caucasian male with blue eyes & brown hair, he wore a black bullet-proof vest with purple lining, black jeans & grey boots, he had a quiver strapped across his back with multiple arrows equipped inside, & he held a Collapsible Recurve Bow
The former sidekicks shook hands with the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Roy secretly gushing over meeting his idol.
"Alright you two, I want a thorough assessment of their abilities, both physical & mental, understand?" asked Nick to the assassins
"Understood"
"Of course"
(Natasha & Richard)
S.H.I.E.L.D. Training Gym
July 5, 13:26
Richard & Natasha entered the gym, whilst Richard had a few questions to ask the trained agent.
"So what exactly missions do you deal with inside SHIELD?" asked Richard
"Well your optimism is admirable, so the kinds of missions depend on what level you are at each end-year assessment, the levels are from I – X, levels at I are usually delivering secret documents, really not "Missions" at all, however the latter levels, for example; The highest level: Level X, I am at this level so I get the fun missions, like spying on criminal organizations so I can identify who is affiliated & also collect evidence so that they can be arrested, sometimes you're a bodyguard for very important people, & sometimes we have to assassinate dangerous criminals" replied Natasha smiling at Richard
"W-Wait, Assassinate? As in kill?" asked Richard in shock
"Yes, but not all the time, I rarely have to kill anyone, we really use it as a last resort. The only ones we kill are the really horrible people, those who commit really terrible crimes & are always able to get away with it, like terrorists" reassured Natasha
"You mean people like Joker or Block-Buster?" asked Richard
"Yeah, the really horrible people..." replied Natasha
"Okay, that doesn't sound too bad..." answered Richard, smiling at Natasha, her smiling back
"Do you have a field name?" asked Richard
"Yes, I'm called the Black Widow, why do you ask?" asked Natasha
"Because I want to change my field name" replied Richard
"Well what did you have in mind?" asked Natasha
"I was thinking... Nightwing" replied Richard
"Imaginative, I like it" replied Natasha smiling at him
Natasha & Richard made it to the fighting ring
"So what martial arts do you know: Nightwing?" asked Natasha smugly, Richard smiled
"Aikido, Boxing, Capoeira, Eskrima, Hapkido, Judo, Ninjitsu, Savate, Taijiquan & Wing Chun" replied Richard removing his shirt
Natasha was impressed by his knowledge, but was more shocked by his muscular figure at such a young age, but even more at all his scars, she looked at him in pity, but quickly regained her composure as they begun their training...
"Show me what you've got Bird-Boy" smirked Natasha
"Oh I plan to" replied a smug Richard
(Roy & Clint)
S.H.I.E.L.D. Shooting Range
July 5, 13:26
Clint & Roy were walking into the shooting range for Roy's assessment...
"So Roy, how long have you been practicing with a bow & arrow Roy?" asked Clint
"Ever since I was 6" replied Roy
"Really?! That was even younger than I was! Impressive kid! I didn't start until I was 9" beamed Clint
"That was the age Robin started" replied Roy
"Really? No wonder he knows how to kick-ass. Anyway, here's the range" replied Roy
"Alright, everything's all set up for you, here's the station, so just pick a bow & start firing kid, we'll begin with regular targets, then we'll use moving targets" beamed Clint
As Roy got into position, Clint added, "& for god's sake if you use explosive arrows Fury will have our heads!"
(3 Hours Later)
Fury was listening to the assessment report, beginning with Richard's; so far he was very impressed
"He's one of the best fighters' I've ever seen, when we were sparring he knocked me down as many times as I did, & at such a young age, when he gets to my age he could be much better than me, easily a level X" said Natasha smiling in pride at Richard, whilst he blushed in embarrassment, whilst Richard & Natasha continued talking about levels, Clint gave his assessment
"He is defiantly great with a bow, he can hit targets as good as I can, really it's the same story with Natasha, so I'll give him an X! He's amazing for his age" said Clint, causing Roy to blush as-well, Nick was very pleased at the new recruits, they were already on their way to becoming the best S.H.I.E.L.D. has to offer
"Sir?" asked Natasha
"Yes agent Romanoff?" asked Nick
"If you don't mind me asking, I would like your permission to personally train Richard" replied Natasha, surprising Fury
"Well agent Romanoff, you've done a fantastic job so far, so you have my permission, what about you agent Barton?" asked Nick
"It would be awesome, how about you Roy?" asked Clint
"Hell yes!" replied Roy smiling
"I would be my genuine honour to be trained by Natasha" replied Richard, causing Natasha to blush, after the meeting cleared up they left to do other stuff.
Nick was very pleased with the new recruits, he understood that they initially had issues with their extreme tactics, but he had no concerns, he knew from a previous conversation with Roy that he understood that killing was necessary, & judging by Richard & Natasha's earlier conversation, Richard had a good understanding, so it wouldn't be a problem, they are going to be proud members of SHIELD, Nick Fury smiled proudly...
