I don't own anything
Annie didn't like people with guns. She didn't like fighting, she just didn't. "Hello, I'm Agent Maria from SHIELD, Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. Are Anneliese Gover?" The woman said, placing one hand on her gun in the holster that was strapped onto her waist. She was young, around her mid-twenties.
Annie nodded her head, pink hair bouncing around. "We have an offer for you if you'll just give us a few minutes of your time." the woman, Maria, said again. Well, Annie thought, This could be a good thing. They could be here to ask me a few questions on how the city is recovering. Annie was always looking on the bright side of things, if you're going to live life why not live it believing the best?
"I guess." Annie shrugged, "I've got time, I mean, my 'parents' are out in a trip to Europe."
Maria nodded at her, "Have you heard of SHIELD before Anneliese?" she asked her.
Annie thought hard, thought to back when her parents, the real ones, we're up in the government. High up. "No, I...I don't think so. What are they? I mean what do they do?"
"We're are a secret organization, apart from the government, and we work with the things that society can't handle. Alien attacks, human super natural powers, gods from another universe. We try and train these people for what comes later in life, learn to fight with their powers." Annie wasn't an idiot, even though she put trust on people she wouldn't just tell this woman that she just met about her 'condition'.
"And we would like you to be recruited in one of our most recent projects Operation Magenta, for mutants with no place to go and would like to help themselves and benefit SHIELD. If you agree to this assignment SHIELD will provide you with a home, training, and food. There will be no pay, the service will be your pay."
Annie was smiling, a place for people like her, but..."How did you find out?" she asked the Agent.
"SHIELD has their ways Miss Gover. If you accept, the briefing will be tomorrow. If you decline, SHIELD will still be observing your activities and you will continue your regular life." Annie didn't know what to say, she couldn't believe it, they were offering her a place, a home. And all they asked for is that she worked for them?
"Yeah," she said "I'll go."
Adam opened up the door to his small apartment, hoping it was the pizza man, (he was late and his pizza was now free) but instead he was met witht he familar face of Nick Fury. "Director Fury," he said shocked, "What are you doing here?"
Adam knew SHIELD, they saved him and he was ready to be called in. They knew about his powers, they knew he was a mutant, but they didn't experiment on him like he thought they would. They quizzed him, and then told him to stay away from the media. "Hello Adam," Fury said hands clasped firmly infront "May I come in? We need your help."
Adam moved aside from the door and Fury strode in, "Help with what?" Adam asked him once Fury was in the apartment.
"Adam have you heard of Operation Magenta?"
Adam shook his head "No sir." He respected Fury, he was always so calm even when the world was almost at an end.
"It's a program for mutants, gives them training for an upcoming threat."
Adams eyebrows knitted together and he stared at Fury, "And...you want me to be on this team?"
"Briefing is tomorrow, you will meet your teammates and start training immediately."
He thought for a minute, Adam was in debt to SHIELD, plus he would help if they needed him to. "Alright, I'm in."
Cassie strode arrogantly into the police station with her hands cuffed behind her back and strong grips on either arm. "Sit down LeBranch." one barked to her, "You're real lucky you know that? For someone to bail you out so fast, thought we finally caught you..." Cass rolled her eyes, all she did was rob a store...well, and killed someone. But it was an accient! How was she supposed to know that a person was in that building?
A man with one eye patch and the famous TONY STARK walking into the room, "We'll take her from here." the pirate man said in a tight, firm voice. Tony Strak didn't say anything, just sipped a martini.
The poiliceman glared at her, but Cassie smiled in responce "Good luck." they huffed, shoving the key to the cuffs in their hands.
Cassie smirked she walked out of the station, she couldn't believe her luck! But...who were theses people? "So...Who are you?" she asked after they were in a dark car with tinted windows.
"Director Nick Fury," the pirate man said to her "Director of SHIELD, Stratigic~"
"Don't explain it to her Nick," Tony said, "She'll ingore you at best."
Cassie laughed, but Fury frowned at her. "Miss Lebranch please listen. I am Director of SHIELD, it's an organization that deals with the things that normal people can't handle."
Cassie cocked one eyebrow at them "Implying that I am not normal?" she asked.
"We know you're not normal." Fury replied, "We know about you. You parents were kind along with your little sister, but were all killed in a gang jump leaving you to the streets. You've ruined lives, killed a family by burning a building, stolen from over 200 stores, and have quite the reputation with the police."
Her jaw dropped, they couldn't...did they know about her? "We know your a mutant Miss Lebranch, and we are here to offer you a position in Operation Magenta. You will fight for us and we will give you a~"
"Whoa whoa whoa, just stop while you're ahead. There is no way in hell that I am going to fight for some people that I just meet. I don't do government organizations." Cassie stopped him short. She was better off alone.
"We're separate from the government." Fury said agian "You and you're teamates will be sa~"
Again Cassie stopped him short "I don't do teams. I work alone. And I sure as hell don't agree to this."
Fury frowned at her, his one eye starting to blaze with brown fire "Consider." was all he said.
"What if I say 'no'." she challenged him "What if I say I don't want to join your stupid club."
Fury's face didn't change, but you could see the fire growing in his eye "You don't have a choice, you're in this team wether you like it or not."
Cass glared at the man, her hands still cuffed behind her back "You can't make me."
"Yes we can." Fury said annoyance in his voice "Thats why you're in this car, you're heading to a briefing."
