A/N: Hey guys Jhere's another chapter! Don't forget to review.
The next morning was a rather bizarre one, for more than a few reasons. The first would be that Amara Fury woke in a comfortable bed that was in a large room, the second was that, after deducting the room was actually one hundred percent hers; there was an even bigger wardrobe full of outfits. Grinning slightly she reached for the first thing inside; a black blazer and white chiffon top, then fishing around she found a black pencil skirt, feeling somewhat professional she walked outside. It was then she encountered the 3rd reason that morning was bizarre; a man in a trench coat and eye patch grabbed her upper arm and dragged her into an office of a sorts, she screeched and wailed and clawed at the man, but only in her head so he didn't really experience it the way she intended.
When her internal attack on the man was over she realized he was talking
"… and as your uncle, I don't actually know what that entitles but that's not going to stop me, you will have to train as an intern or well… we'll stick with this office façade for now…" he trailed off momentarily pondering something "right. Don't move from this room. Ever. Until I say you can got that? Good… uh bye" and with that he stalked from the room leaving Amara in a stunned silence.
She remained in silence as she assessed her surroundings, 75% sure she had been kidnapped. The other 25% was due to the fact that he said he was her uncle and that a kidnapper would generally not allow her to see daylight or sleep comfortably and she had done both. As she began to give up all hope of escaping, the room was pitching black after all, a figure entered. A female figure.
"Agent Maria Hill, level 8 clearance" the figure stuck a hand out. Amara placed her hand inside it and received a small, firm handshake. There was a pause, Agent hill was waiting for something.
"Uh Amara Fury, level zilch clearance… is this a kidnapping?" A soft chuckle was her only answer, then a few lights flickered to life; someone else was hanging in the back, this one was familiar, Coulson? Coalun? She couldn't remember.
"I have no idea why on earth Director Fury would leave you in here" the Maria lady said, frustration colouring her tone. It all came back to Amara very suddenly; she was at some flying headquarters for an organization called SHIELD and the head kahuna was her uncle Nick, who for some unknown reason had shut her in a room with no light. She frowned. He wasn't much of an uncle.
A snort escaped Agent Hill. She had said that last thought out loud, oops. Maria Hill seemed pleased at this deduction however, she tugged at Amara's arm and started pulling her towards a conference type room.
"Where're we going?" she hissed in bemusement
"To tell your uncle he's not adequate" she whispered back. Coulson, she remembered the name now, was following behind, calling Maria's name but to no avail.
As they entered inside, he let out a defeated sigh. Amara and her escort gasped as she walked in and bumped into a tall, angry man – her uncle.
"Oh sorry sir we'll-"
"Hey um Nick" Amara said waggling her fingers hopefully, "sir!" she added on as an afterthought and randomly saluted. Maria's mouth twitched, but her eyes were slightly fearful still. Just then another man walked into the room, his eyebrows shot up in surprise at the sight of a young woman saluting Nick Fury mad Fury himself looking completely awkward about it, and Agent hill was standing there too shaking with suppressed laughter.
Bruce Banner looked quizzically at the Director
"New recruit sir?" he questioned
"Well no Doctor she's… uh" the woman in question smiled, slightly embarrassed,
"I'm his niece" she said casually. Then her eyes widened slightly "Doctor? As in Dr. Banner? Bruce banner?"
"yes, that's me"
"oh wow! It's so cool to meet you! And the whole science-y thing you do, wow!" she beamed delightedly at the poor man. A loud chuckle interrupted her excitement and Tony Stark AKA Iron Man, sauntered towards the girl who raised a shaking finger to point at him
"a-a-and you're iron man" she whispered in awe, Said man winked at her.
"and you young lady, are British and very cutely so" he laughed in reply.
"Did you kidnap the Avengers?!" she yelped incredulously at her uncle
"ma'am, you've wrongly accused the good man, we're here as friends" another amused voice rang out from behind Nick. A blonde man appeared next to Stark and held out his hand, smiling
"I'm Steve Rogers ma'am it's nice to meet the Director's kin" Amara stared in amazement at the hand before giving it the tiniest of shakes, her eyes widened with understanding.
"Wait, wait, wait, hold up SHIELD? The SHIELD? With like the alien invasion? You're that Nick Fury?! No wonder they never talked about you! Friggin heck!" She gave a half bow to Fury and Stark sniggered at his look of confusion.
"Would you like a bow too Brucie?" he cooed sarcastically, and was promptly elbowed in the ribs. Amara turned red as she realized how odd her outbursts were. She suddenly discovered how amazingly interesting her feet were.
"Aw Stark, you ruined her moment!" another man, she recognized as Hawkeye, chastised Tony as his counterpart Natasha Romanoff hit him upside the head.
"hey, hey spider-lady! I was just having fun!" Stark yelped
"Fun? Purposely embarrassing Miss Fury, that's not fun in my books Stark" the Captain growled. Amara shuffled awkwardly away from the argument, in all her embarrassment she couldn't help but notice someone was missing
"I don't suppose Thor is here?" she asked hopefully. This earned a small headshake and a smile from Bruce, the only one who wasn't participating in the argument.
"but he is arriving today, now actually. We're discussing uh accommodation if you will"
As if on cue a loud rumble and a dazzling array of colours erupted from the sky. Silence. Then the tall, hulking figure of Thor Odinson entered the room. Amara gasped as the blue eyes locked on hers, in that moment she felt very very small.
Thor smiled deeply at the girl and she felt a smidgen less terrified, but only a smidge.
"HELLO YOUNG MIDGUARDIAN ! I AM THOR ODINSON OF ASGARD" he boomed to the re-terrified Amara, her eardrums tingling from Thors introductory yelling. but wait… young?!
"uh excuse dude but I'm 26 and I have no idea what a 'mirdgargar' is but that is plain rude!" she yelped in defiance.
A beat.
The room erupted with laughter as Thor stared bemusedly at the girl and Tony leapt over the table swooping Amara up and spinning her around, ignoring her squeals of protest finally half pushing half throwing her to Bruce who caught her by the elbow grinning along with everyone. She threw him an ashamedly questioning look
"he's a demi-god, and Midgard is what he calls earth, you told him that to call you human was a huge insult and-" Bruce broke off chuckling again as Fury's niece face-palmed, turning bright red; she did know most of this already afterall Thor had visited earth a few times now she had had her memory frightened out of her but that was really no excuse, not in her mind anyway.
She looked up and was relieved to find that, even though Barton and Stark were sending her amused glances, the laughter had quieted down. She flashed an apologetic look at both her uncle and Thor before exiting the room followed by a sniggering Maria Hill and an exhausted looking Phil Coulson.
