Heeeeeyyyy. So, I have a surprise for y'all. IT'S A SHORT CHAPTER. Just some important info that I almost forgot to put in. So, It's not Loki, and it's not technically Katia… IDK. Enjoy. READ AND REVIEW. Can't stress the REVIEW, enough.

Chapter Six: Agent

A woman walked briskly down the fluorescently lit hallway. She wore a rumpled pants suit, her bright auburn hair was in a messy bun, and she was covered in ash. Cold determination showed in her expression and walk.

Arriving at the end of the hall, she slid her ID card in the lock and entered through the now open door.

The man inside the office turned around and glared at her with his one eye. "Yes…?" He said.

"I've been told I'm not going back."

The man continued glaring at her, "That is true."

She crossed her arms and raised a brow.

He walked around the desk towards her. "We need you back, Agent. Very few have your experience and frankly, you're the only one who can pull off the missions we've been needing to complete, lately."

"You flatter me, Fury."

He shook his head. "I know that sort of thing doesn't work on you."

The woman continued, "Surely you understand why I can't come back yet."

Fury returned to his desk and sat. "I understand why you feel the need to stay with your daughter, but that doesn't change my decision."

The agent stepped forward. "Please, Director. She needs a mother. You know that Agent Larkford was killed in the terrorist attack. Without either of us she will most likely be raised in a cruddy foster home. Not to mention her odds of leading a contributing life are very slim from that background."

Fury just nodded. "I know."

"Then, Please, let me raise her. I know this is exactly what the Red Room was trying to avoid when they sterilized me, but this is the one chance I have of actually…"

"Being normal?" Fury cut in.

The woman stood silently for a moment before she sat in the chair in front of the Director's desk.

She then spoke with a quiet voice, "All I ask is for a couple more years. Then I can return to work and my daughter can begin defense training."

Fury looked at the agent with a hint of regret in his eyes. "I'm very sorry, Agent. But we need you back. This is the only way we can do that without endangering Katia." He said softly.

The woman nodded slowly

The Director stood. "I've contacted a retired agent. He has agreed to raise and train Katia until she is old enough to learn the truth."

The agent stood as well. "If I may ask, which branch?"

Fury escorted her to the door. "England." He smiled at her.

"Good day, Director. Sorry for taking up precious time."

"Consider it a debriefing." He said.

She nodded and started walking down the hall.

"Good day, Agent Romanov." Fury said as he shut the door.

REVIEW.

Again. Stressing the REVIEW. Please do so. Ummm... Yeah. I need opinions on whether you want more Loki or Katia... Like, I can't update until someone tells me... so please.
