A new start
Chapter 2 –
Only 2 reviews for the first chapter but thanks to them for reviewing! :D
Here's chapter 2-
Jess shoves her way through New York's bustling crowds, she pushes businessmen and school kids out of the way as she makes her way across the street, she hears the whirs of a helicopter hovering overhead, it's following her every move, every step she takes.
Jess stops for a second, and looks around her, she then notices the SHIELD agents that surround her, there's no way out.
Jess sighs, SHIELD are on her case again, and she's got no way out.
Jess runs again, taking her chances at getting away. She darts in-between two agents and sprints down an alleyway. But she doesn't get far, as an agent tackles her from behind, Jess drops to the floor, the agent sprawled out on top of her, Jess scowls, no way was she going to go back to working for SHIELD!
Jess holds her hands out, her powers coming to use. Nearby, the metal piping from the side of a nearby café rips of the wall, and hovers over to the agent who is now grabbing hold of Jess's wrists and holding her down.
The metal piping continues onto wrap itself around the agent's neck and pulls the struggling agent back, Jess stands up, and her hands are reached out, controlling the metal. She makes the metal wrap tighter around the man's neck, he gasps, struggling to breath. And she does this all without touching the metal, seeing as she's telekinetic.
"Tell me, why does SHIELD want me?" Jess asks confidently, she's surprised there aren't more agents here with her by now.
The agent opens his mouth to talk, but all that comes out is a small squeak. Jess sighs, before releasing the metal grip slightly.
"The Avengers…..The Avengers Initiative….." The agents voice dies out at the end as a spear is run through his heart from behind, well, that wasn't her doing!
Jess's mouth hangs open as she stares at a man dressed in leather, with a green cape.
"So you're the telekinetic" the man says, a sly smirk on his face.
Jess frowns; something's telling her not to trust this guy.
"Come with me….You have heart" The creepy guy says, He holds out his glowing spear to Jess's chest, but before he can perform his party trick. Jess telekinetically removes the sceptre from his hands she holds it mid-air, just out of his reach before flinging it a few metres away to the ground.
"You little…." But he didn't get time to finish his comment, as Jess raised one hand gently up, and without touching him, she sent him flying into the air, across a road, and straight into a hard brick wall.
He collapses to the ground, in defeat.
Jess smiles to herself, pleased with her most recent fight. She starts to walk over to where the creepy guy is lying, but is stopped in her tracks when Captain America himself lands before the creep, and he's soon followed by the one and only Iron man who lands beside him.
"Make your move reindeer games" He says, Jess can practically hear his smirk as he unleashes all his weapons from his suit, pointing them at the man.
"Captain" Iron man says.
"Stark" The captain replies.
Jess stands in awe, yes, she's worked for SHIELD before, but she was a private agent, she worked alone.
The helicopter hovers overhead, but is now joined with a much larger SHIELD aircraft.
"Loki, stand down" A voice comes from the aircraft. So that's his name, Jess thinks.
Loki's outfit changes before their eyes, his helmet disappears and so does the cape and metal.
Jess considers her options, either, she can make a run for it a hope that they're too distracted with Loki to notice, or, she can go with them, and find out what it is they want from her.
She makes her decision, and turns around to leave, "Agent Marston, please don't leave, we need you to come with us" Agent Coulson's voice appears from behind.
Jess turns around to face him, he's unarmed, and with a smile on his face.
"And why would I come with you?" She questions.
"I know what you've done to Captain Miller; we found him a few minutes ago." Coulson informs.
Jess's face stays nonplussed, not having a care in the world for the evil captain.
"Don't worry, if you come with us, you won't go to prison, instead, you'll be working with the avengers, but if you decide to stay. Then, well, let's just say SHIELD won't be protecting you from the police" Coulson informs her, an apologetic smile on his face.
Jess sighs, knowing she has no choice but to go with them. "Fine" She replies
She looks over to Loki, a group of armed agents move in to grab him, but he flickers, and then disappears completely, the sceptre, which is in the alley, also disappears. Coulson frowns; it was a projected image of Loki, just one of his many powers.

Jess strides into the main room of the helicarrier, "ma'am" Capt. America says, whilst holding out a hand. "Captain" Jess says, shaking his hand, "And please, call me Jess" She adds.
He nods, "You can call me Steve" He informs her, Jess nods and walks with him towards Stark, who is introducing himself to Bruce.
"I have to say doctor; your work on anti-electronic collisions is unparalleled. Oh, and I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster." Tony says, whilst smirking.
Bruce looks awkwardly at the genius, and then glances down at the floor whilst fiddling with his glasses, "Uh….Thanks..." He says
Tony looks to his side and focusses his gaze on Jess, she sighs, pretty much knowing what's coming.
Tony smirks, "Hello beautiful, Jess isn't it?" Tony says, he reaches down, takes her hand a kisses it.
"Yeh" She replies, with a slight blush, she notices Steve roll his eyes at Tony's open gesture of affection.
"Tony Stark, although I expect you already know that" Tony says, his smug face in a big smile.
Jess just nods at this.
"Agent Marston?" A voice asks, Jess spins around to face Natasha, who's she's briefly worked with before. She smiles, "I'll show you and Dr Banner to the lab" Natasha informs, Jess follows her down the hall, along with Bruce, Tony tags along.
"You'll love it Doc, we've got all the toys" Bruce just smiles at this.
The lab is nice, with lots of technical equipment in its heaven for scientists, Tony makes himself at home straightaway, slinging a laptop bag onto 'his' desk and shoving papers beside it.
"Hi, I'm Bruce" A voice says from behind, Jess turns around and shakes his hand, "Jess Marston" she says.
Jess helps herself to a drink of water and slides down behind her new desk in the lab.
Not long after she's started on her paperwork, someone sidles up beside her.
"What do you want Stark?" She sighs.
"Well that's no way to greet me" Tony smirks
Jess sighs "omg, I've missed you so much! Please tell me what it is that you desire, I'll do anything!" Jess remarks, sarcastically of course.
"Seeing as you asked so nicely, I was wondering if you wanted to come for a drink tonight, round my room?" Tony whispers the last bit and Jess rolls her eyes
"Tony…I barely know you…..and we have important work to do, you know, the whole god wanting to take over the earth thing?" Jess replies.
Tony frowns, "Well that's the first time I've been turned down" He says
"Yeh, well get used to it" Jess snaps, not impressed by the annoying genius.
It is at this moment that Steve entered the lab, noticing that Jess and Tony were starting an argument he moves over and ushers Tony away.
"Stark, not all women want to….to…..fondue with you" Steve mutters, slightly embarrassed.
Jess smirks, but Tony's less than pleased, he skulks off back to his desk, muttering, "Fondue? Where the hell did that come from?" He mumbles, just out of Steve's hearing range.
Nick Fury's voice then echoes over the earpieces, we've got a match! Captain, Stark, and Marston, you're up! Jess didn't have time to reply as she's dragged off by Tony, Steve in tow.
They board the aircraft and wait patiently as it takes off into the air, its final destination, Stuttgart, Germany.
She can only hope that the capture will go to plan.
Yeh, hope this chapter's ok :D Spent ages on it :P please review :P thanks –Caitlin
