"What do you mean?" I ask the eyepatch man, who has introduced himself as Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. The balding man has introduced himself as Agent Phil Coulson.
"We need to talk to you about...Your experience." He says lightly, I assume he means how I got my abilities, either that, or...No, there's no way. "The Avengers will be joining us in each and every one of your friend's trials, including your own, for
evaluation." The man says, standing completely still.
"What warrant do you have?" Kasi growls, standing puts an arm out to hold her back, but Kasi pushes it aside. "Read the goddamm Constitution of the United States of America! We have fucking rights!" Kasi yells, Leo urges her to take a breath,
and she does, "that's the whole reason we do what we do and the Avengers do what they do. To protect each and every individuals rights. So I demand to know what's going on, and I demand to see a warrant." Kasi says, her voice eerily quiet.
"Well, here's our warrant." Agent Coulson walks and hands Kasi a piece of paper, she snatches it, giving the Avengers and the two agents a nasty look.
"We will tell you what's going on. Recently in our organizations labs they have discovered that a lot of people coming from the army have special...Abilities. When the Avengers were out on a rescue mission in those forests, it was just convenient they
found you. The reason they'll be sitting in is because they need new team members. Those who have powers will stay. Those who don't will have to prove themselves." The director finishes his long speech. He's serious, I know because I've seen that
look on many a generals face.
All of us, including Laura and Kirsten, are put into a large room with four black walls, a glass ceiling, and a court style room. Will this be like court? The Avengers and the two men file in and sit in chairs that are in a half moon shape that sit across
from two chairs, I hadn't noticed that part of the room. Laura is the first to step forward. Coulson hands Director Fury documents, probably on Laura.
"Name. For the record, please." Coulson demands, pointing to an old woman who seemed to appear out of no where with a computer on her lap.
"Laura Macker." Laura says, they continue on questioning us, all of us. I am the last one. I assume it's on purpose.
"Name." Coulson demands, I consider shooting something sarcastic back, but I decide not to, here, it might get me shot.
"Athena Hawkins." I say, looking over at the old woman, slumping in my chair, and couldn't sing my eyes. I had done this a million times before.
"Occupation." Coulson asks. I really want to say something sarcastic, but my logical side says not to. I lean my head back, still with my eyes closed.
"RetiredSeargent of the US army, I served in Afghanistan, Sokovia, and Wakanda. Right now I study at Harvard for my law and politics degrees, but I'm planning to go to Juilliard afterwards for my degree in the arts." I say lazily, letting a heavy
sigh pass my lips.
"Who was your general?" Coulson asks. I try and hold back a smile, but I can't.
"General Marcy Kinnon in Afghanistan. General Carson Ahmed in Sokovia. And, General Kay Addams in Wakanda." I say in a monotone. I'm beginning to become bored with this.
"Can you tell us more about General Marc-" I cut him off.
"'Anyinformation regarding Generals is subject to severe privacy rights. No agency outside of the military or the government may access such information under any circumstances.' I'm sorry, sir. But I can't reveal anything about past generals to
your company." I say, a bit more serious now.
"We are a branch of the government." The director steps forward and says quite harshly.
"Oh. Doesn't look like it. A real government agency wouldn't have sent their director to do a simple interrogation on a bunch of Army veterans." I say matter of factly. I sit up in my chair and look the director straight in the face. I get up and heave
a sigh, walking over to my friends, who are now beaming. Leo gives me a high five, he in particular had some trouble with them.
The electricity falters, and the lights go out. A crack of thunder can be heard and lightning can be seen from where we are.
