The sun was shining across the flooded wet lands of the Australian outback.
"Where the Hell are we?" Asked Stark. One by one, they all stepped of the A jet. Amelia was the second last to get of the jet, followed by Clint, with his index finger wrapped around hers. Their sneakiness seemed to be working, nobody had noticed as far as they knew. Their new founded relationship was flying under the radar. Natasha, of course, knew after she kind of set them in the right direction. She smiled lightly at them whenever they whenever she saw them together. Their next task was to keep it away from Fury; he defiantly wouldn't be one to jump for joy with the news of their relationship. Amelia was sure Tony would find some inspiration for one liners and insults, another reason to keep it away from the spotlight. During the flight, agent Phil Coulson's name came up. Back at the house there was a picture of him with two candles, in front of the photo was some really old collectable captain America cards. Some with a tinge of blood on them. Curiosity came upon Mia
"Who was Agent Coulson?"She asked. Thor was in deep conversation with Bruce and Clint when she said his name. Just about everyone on the jet stopped what they were doing and turned in their seats.
"He was a fine warrior whose life was taken too early, by Loki, after he tried to save me." Said Thor. The cabin was silent, only the humming of the engines absorbed the silence. Shame and guilt over took Thor face. Nobody said a word, only looked at their feet. Amelia wished she didn't ask.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked." She mumbled.
"I'm sorry you never got to meet him." Said Fury from the corner. The cabin was once again quiet.
"Loki is… was my brother," said Thor, "I hope to one day find the strength to forgive for the sins he committed in our last great battle." Amelia had heard all about the war that Loki tried to create. It was all over the media before she came to S.H.E.I.L.D. Natasha had also filled in the gaps on her first day in the house. It still shocked her how Loki took Clint under his control. It all seemed surreal to her, yet she was the one that could manipulate any atom that she wanted. As they stood in the middle of God knows where in Australia. Amelia remembered how it felt to not have anything in her control. How awful it must have been to know Clint had killed fellow agents and attempted to do the same to his best friend. How did it feel to know he was losing control?
They had been standing around for a few minutes; their shirts were all drenched with sweat from the high humidity. They sound of a helicopter came from the north, they all stood not knowing what to expect. The trees started shaking violently as the chopper landed. A tall, solid built man exited the aircraft.
"G'day, welcome to Australia." He said in an extremely thick accent. He was well tanned, wearing mustard coloured shorts and button up shirt with the logo 'Inpex' above the right breast pocket. He wore steal capped boats and an akubra hat. Around his neck was a thin black necklace with some sort of tooth hanging from it. His shirt was clinging to him in all the right places, making Mia's heart flutter. Natasha was clearly impressed too. He was clearly a strong bushman. And a hot one at that.
"Where in God's name are we?" Asked Bruce, looking around nervously.
The stranger smiled. "You are in the Kimberly's. It is the wet season which is why everything is flooded and bloody hot." Amelia looked across the wet lands. There were two birds in the distance, they had long stick like legs and breaks, their feathers were grey with red on their chest and surrounding their eyes. They appeared to be dancing; it was so graceful, like a ballerina. The sound of Clint's voice next her snapped her out of her daze.
"Mia? Yoo hoo... Hello? Earth to Mia!" He called, waving his arms in front of her like a lunatic, "this is Dave." The tall, extremely muscular Australian was standing opposite her smiling. Mia stuck out her hand.
"Mia." She said as he took her hand in his. Dave's piercing blue eyes tore into her hazel green eyes, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Well, I guess I should take you ladies back to base." He said as he dropped her hand.
The helicopter ride back was spectacular. The Kimberly's were redder then the sun, standing tall like they could touch the stars. Mia saw more of the dancing birds. Dave pointed out a lot of the native wildlife such as a few crocodiles and water buffalo, he warned them that the crocodiles where extremely territorial and weren't afraid of humans.
"So why are we here in this jungle?" Asked Stark, "I thought Inpex was a gas company. I've started buy shares into the company already. Apparently it's-"
"Well they are," said Dave, "but what the locals don't know is that Inpex is also partnered with shield, every major country has an undercover base that protects its boarders that partners with shield."
"I didn't know shield was that big and worldwide" replied Tony. Dave just smiled, there was something in his eyes that made Amelia feel uncomfortable. Mia didn't want to trust him; he would have to earn her trust, just like everyone else. And by the look of the rest of the team, they were feeling the same way.
They arrived at what Dave said was 'the base'. All they could see was a large shed, some shipping containers and a clearing the size of 3 football fields. Surrounding the area was dense bush land with a creek running through it.
"Don't be fooled by its appearance," said Dave as he leaped for the helicopter "it's only a disguise, don't need unwanted attention." The team stepped out of the helicopter, the humid heat hitting them all. It was almost hard to breathe the air was so heavy in their lungs. Bruce sighed when he exited the aircraft clearly glad to be out of that confined space. Dave led them to one of the shipping containers. The doors were rusty and looked like they hadn't been opened in years. The doors swung open easily to Mia's surprise. Cool air rushed out and red lights flickered on to reveal some sort of elevator. Dave turned and saw the confusion on their faces. He laughed revealing lines around his eyes.
"Lady's first." He said as he gestured to Amelia. She felt Clint stiffen beside her and he quickly stepped in after her as well as the rest of the team. The doors shut automatically and they began descending into the Earth.
ok i need a team nickname for mia. any suggestions?
