Pairings: Emily(OC)/Caleb
I hate stealing lines from shows when I put in an OC. It makes me feel so unoriginal but I had to for two lines. Two VERY short lines.
This was a very sucky day for me. Not only did I get a C on my History exam, but Caleb was helping out at the restaurant so I was all alone. Wandering the streets of Heatherfield. What to do, what to do?
How old was Phobos anyway?
I froze walking and wanted to slap myself at that horrific random thought. Like I wanted to know anything about that sociopath. He's Phobos, aka the evil dude. Someone who you do not under any circumstance think about unless you wanna plot against him. He's cruel, manipulative, powerful, and loves ruining happiness. God how is the beautiful lovely Elyon related to…well…yeah, Phobos is beautiful but that's besides my point. Elyon is the polar opposite of that psycho.
Except that they both have beautiful hair. Does Phobos even wash his hair? Wait…I made my thinking face, I remember Phobos bathing in this waterfall thingy.
"Why am I thinking about Phobos in a bath?!" looking around I was relieved to see no-one I know. If Caleb has heard me he would've had an aneurism. And a painful one at that. Not that an aneurism isn't painful but – ugh forget it I'm mind rambling again.
Buuut if Phobos is Elyon's brother then he must be around my age. Once again I froze while walking then gagged and bit my knuckles, hard. How horrid. Phobos is around my age. Jesus on the Christ if things couldn't get any weirder.
Awe bloody hell I just jinxed myself.
Yup I did. Looking up at the bookstore that just happens to belong to Cedric. I glared at the sign that read 'Ye Olde Book Shop'.
"Awe Shit." I mumbled as Cedric waved at me through the window with a smile. I faked a smile and waved back. Then turning on my heel and all but bolting from the shop.
That was awkward and unexpected. Two things that are not pleasant. Sighing deeply I kicked an empty soda can, watching it skid across the groun.
Bored. Bored. Booooored. Throwing my head back I groaned loudly. Startling people around me.
"I hate boredom." I moped pathetically then jumped a foot in the air when a voice crept up behind me.
"I can help with that." Turning around sharply with a shocked expression my eyes took in Natasha Romanoff. She as wearing casual clothes with a cheeky grin. "Coulson's told me to bring you in. He has some clothing idea's he needs to run by you." I gaped then grinned widely.
"Oh hell yes."
"Oh hell no." I said as I looked at Coulson's sketch of what my suit would look like. "Dude I look like a walking hot dog!" the agent rolled his eyes at me and hastily took the drawings from my hand.
"I didn't draw those. Fitz did." Under his breath I heard him mutter 'crazy scientists' "I drew this." He said handing me a picture. Looking at it I smiled like a child.
The suit was fitting. It consisted of a white protective t-shirt with an annotation saying it was bulletproof. Covered by a tight hoodie. The arms cutting off at the shoulders were black, then everything on the chest was midnight blue. My hands had fingerless gloves. For the legs I had tight black jeans with combat boots. And a utility belt that provided a help button, gun holster, daggers, and other things I didn't know meant.
All in all it looked pretty badass.
"Oh yes." I muttered. Praising Coulson. "That's awesome." Coulson smiled at the praise, turning to Romanoff with an 'I told you so' look.
"Its still a work in progress. But I think it will be ready soon."
"Can I see Caleb's?" I asked with a grin. Coulson flipped through papers on his desk before pulling one out.
"I didn't want to be on the end of his bad side so…"
"It looks identical to the one he already has." I deadpanned.
"Ah but if you look at the annotations…" smirked Coulson and as I read I became…well very impressed. "His trench coat, when flapped becomes like a glider. It slows his descent and he can glide through the air. Along with it being bullet prood. And for his fingerless gloves, when he taps with his index finger it becomes a tazer. So when he grabs a bag guy the person will get a shock of his life." I sniggered at the pun. "And his boots have a grip to make it easier for him to climb. But like yours it's still a work in progress."
"Dude that's wicked. More impressive than mine but I have powers." I shrugged and handed him his sketches back. "Seems like you've already done costume designs." Grinning slyly. Behind me Natasha scoffed.
"He designed Captain America's suit." My jaw dropped, feigning shock.
"DUDE!" I shouted "Why didn't you tell me?!" shyly Coulson straightened things on his desk.
"Well I don't like to brag…"
"Hold up if you designed a suit for him then…" my eyes widened. This time in real shock. "Captain America's alive?!" the two of them stayed quiet. And I flung my hands about in the air for effect "Is there more to this or are you gonna leave me hanging?"
"It's need to know." Natasha said in a monotone voice that sent chills down my spine. Damn she sounded threatening.
"…And I'm guessing I don't need to know?"
"Nice to see you understand." Smirked Coulson and I rolled my eyes.
By the time I got back to the restaurant it was dark. Walking to the alleyway door my eyebrows rose at seeing Caleb struggling to get something – my guessing was Blunk – out of the garbage can. As I got closer my stomach flipped at the smell. Gagging, I kept my distance.
Blunk needs a bath. Like really really bad.
Caleb finally got Blunk out but was instantly attacked by a hot dog necklace the rodent put around his neck. Letting go the rebel leader let out a girly high-pitched shrieked and flung it off himself. Hay-lin cackled madly along with myself. He sent us glares but it faded into a smile at noticing me.
"Where did you go? I was wo– not…worried…" Caleb trailing off awkwardly and looked a bit flustered. Next to him Hay-lin groaned and shoved him towards me. Whilst giving me a wiggled eyebrow.
What was she getting at?
"Sure you weren't, Caleb." I teased and wiped a bit of garbage left from Blunk off his shoulder. "How was work?"
The question made him laugh bitterly with a murderous look in his eye.
"If I were allowed to spit in their food I would." A mischievous smile crept across my face.
"Did you though?" Caleb smiled back.
"Never said I didn't." laughing I linked my arm with his. Leading us back inside the restaurant.
"Why do you work if you don't like it?" I asked him once we were inside the kitchen.
"So I can raise money to buy supplies for back home. Like medicine, candy, blankets, clothes, shoes, pots, pans – "
"Ok ok I get it, rebel leader." I muttered and rolled my eyes.
"Where were you the whole day?"
"I, erm, kinda spent some time with SHIELD." I told him quietly. Glancing at the busy cooks rushing around to make sure they weren't listening in. Caleb stumbled to a halt and instantly looked me over with a concerned and slightly angered eye.
"Did they do anything to you?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.
"No, they just showed me pictures of our suits." That caused the rebel to look at me in shock.
"They've already done it?! It's only been a couple of days." He whispered to me with a slightly panicked expression while ushering me up the stairs to our room.
"Yeah well they're a fucking secret organization. They don't exactly slack with working." I told him with a shrug. "Yours is like exactly the same as the one you wear. Only there's these wicked extensions and like holy crap it's amazing!" I gushed once we were inside the room. Making wild hand gestures to add to the effect of the awesomeness that is Caleb's suit. Said rebel watched me with an amused smile.
"That good?"
"YES that good!" whacking him on the arm he yelped and for once whacked me back. We each stood in silence, staring at each other in shock. "You did not just…" Caleb smiled sheepishly then let out a girly shriek when I used my power to whack him. His hand flung to the sore spot and he gaped at me.
"What the fuck?!" he shouted and I laughed in amusement then also shrieked when he picked me up and flung me onto my bed.
"Caleb!" I pouted when he walked out the door shouting at me that he's taking a shower. "Party pooper!" I grumbled and crawled off my bed to my desk. Opening my homework diary my heart dropped.
I have an assignment due tomorrow.
"Noooo!" I howled.
"What happened to you?" asked Hay-lin as we both walked to school. Gesturing to the lines under my eyes.
"I stayed up all night working on the English assignment. I would have finished it at five am but Caleb kept on throwing things at me. He seemed to find my pain of English amusing." Muttering curses under my breath then scowling as Hay-lin laughed.
"Why was he up?" she asked through her laughter.
"It was his idea of payback from all the times I whacked him on the arm." I muttered under my breath bitterly only making Hay-lin laugh even harder. The force of it made some of her power act out and sent her flying backwards into a nearby garbage can. The sight of it was comical making me laugh.
"Oh my God." I breathed out trying to calm my breathing as I helped her out. Then chocked back a laugh when a banana peel was nestled on top of her head. Hay-lin's eyes widened and she asked quickly what I was funny. "N-nothing." I managed to get out.
"I love your outfit Hay-lin." A snotty voice came from behind me and oh damn I knew that voice. Bess Grumper.
A week back me and her had a little disagreement on whether my eyes were real or contacts. To say I wedged my foot up her ass wouldn't be half of it.
I was also practicing for my fight with Fate.
Turning around I smiled sweetly at her. The look on her face at seeing me was hilarious. But I managed to pull it together.
"Thank you." Said Hay-lin hesitantly. Bess's sister smiled wickedly.
"It really suits the garbage you already came out of." Said Courtney and snickered into her hand. Hay-lin's crestfallen face broke my heart and I wanted to punch Courtney in the face. Bess, recognizing the look quickly tried to pull her sister away.
"Do you want to repeat that?" I grounded out and took a threatening step forward. My crystal eyes turning a shade darker. Courtney's laughter died down and she looked like she needed a new set of pants. "Do you?"
"N-no."
"Good. Now run back to your little gossiping before I do something I'm sure I won't regret." The two sisters ran past me and Hay-lin. Once they were out of earshot I wiped the banana peel off of Hay-lin's head and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Thanks." Hay-lin muttered then took a deep breath and perked up instantly. Right then I admired how she was able to quickly ignore their harsh words.
"No problem. After all nobody messes with my friends." Her smile looked like sunshine as we walked back to school.
Obviously after we purchased some perfume from a nearby store of course. Once we got to school me and Hay-lin split up to go to our classes. Grabbing my books from my locker I headed off to PE.
"I hate exercise." I puffed out as I lay on the basketball floor next to a stretching Matt who was laughing like the devil. "Matt Olsen I swear to God if you don't shut up I'll whack you so hard you won't be able to do basic math." The sound of his jaw snapping shut was music to my ears.
"Its not my fault you can't do long distance." Glaring up at him I got into a sitting position and raised an eyebrow.
"It's not my fault our PE teachers decided to conjoin our classes either." I muttered bitterly and gaped when he poked me on the nose.
"I thought you loved my company." He teased and I snickered.
"You're not that bad." Matt smirked and lifted me up to my feet along with himself.
"Good. Because it looks like we have volleyball and I'm picking you to be in our team. Come on partner." Wrapping an arm across my shoulders we walked to our assigned team and began a match.
When the second period ended I caught up with the others and sat on the floor next to Taranee, resting my aching thighs. Who knew running twenty laps of the court and volleyball hurt like a bitch?
"Hey don't forget guys, practice today by the river." Will reminded us. Groaning I rubbed my thighs.
"But my thighs are killing me! And since when did we start practicing?" I asked in confusion.
"Since we keep letting snake face free." Said Will. "We need to practice our powers and tactics to not let that happen again."
"Before we have practice I need your help." Said Hay-lin with hope.
"With your hair, makeup and fashion sense?" asked Cornelia, and sighed as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "I thought you would never ask." Hay-lin rolled her eyes.
"Blunk's travelling around in a garbage dumpster stinking up the neighborhood. And my mum and dad have the health inspector coming so we need to give him a bath." Getting up we all walked to the cafeteria.
"And how do we exactly give him a bath?" I asked casutiously. Vaguely I remembered this episode and how difficult it was. Thinking deeply I froze on the spot.
Oh shit this is the episode where Elyon takes the stone of throon or something? Shite this'll be bad. What do I do?! Do I – stop! I hugged myself and tried to fight the urge to take the stone and bash it against Cedric's handsome face.
I can't change anything dramatically. That's like a no-go. Buuut…what if Fate brought me here to do exactly that?
…nope. Not going there. I don't know if fate does want me to do that. I got no note. No sign. Nada.
"Um Emily?" Irma's voice broke me out of my thoughts and I was suddenly staring down her worried face.
"Yes?"
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah you kind of spaced out for a moment." Said Hay-lin.
"Oh yeah I'm ok." I waved off.
"This is not ok." I spat out bitterly as I lay in a pool of mud, hiding from a butterfly collector. "All this to wash a Passling."
"What's a Passling?" asked Cornelia who was feverishly trying to keep her hair out of the mud.
"Blunk's a Passling. It's his species. Caleb told me." The group collectively 'oh'd at this new information and immediately swept it aside.
"Let's just forget about Blunk for now. Sorry Hay-lin, but I don't want to end up on some old butterfly collector's wall." Taking out the crystal they all expected to change back but nothing happened.
"Um, you might want to check the batteries in the old heart of Kandrakar there. We didn't change back." Said Irma
"hmf." Will huffed and put the necklace back under her top. I frowned in confusion. Why wasn't they changing back-Ohhh Elyon must have gotten the stone. "Let's just fly out of here before that guy see's us. Ready? Let's go."
"Wait – guys!" I shouted and tried to stop them. Running after Irma my eye's widened as they leaped into the air. Oh shit. I reached for her leg to stop her but as she fell…I fell. My screamed was muffled by the water as I fell under. Closing my mouth I winced from the water getting in. Swimming up I gagged and shivered. Along with grimacing at the pain in my thighs from treading water. Jesus this lake was cold.
"Irma can you clear us a path?" asked Will. Irma grinned and raised her arms with a motion. I wasn't surprised when nothing happened. Her expression was one of horror.
"Nothings happening. Will we've lost our powers!" she cried dramatically. I just rolled my eyes at the intake of breaths.
I sighed in contempt as I took a sip of grandma's famous green tea. It really hit the spot. What also hit the spot was my fist connecting with Caleb's arm.
"OW!" cried the 'tough' rebel leader as he glared at me. Rubbing the sore spot on his arm.
"Why can't I do that?" asked Irma in envy.
"Because he'd hit you back." Answered Taranee. "Emily has the 'special' privillage." Me and Caleb watched in confusion as they all 'oh'd in understanding.
"Why did you hit me this time?" Caleb asked sorrowfully. Seemingly not knowing what he'd done.
"You acted smugly with your smug grin and your smug body language and your smug hair and your…smug eyes." I trailed off as my eyes caught his. Hot damn they were green. Like…really, really green. The greenest green of greens.
"Smug eyes huh?" he grinned and I felt my heart flutter in my chest. Wow he's making me feel things I didn't even know I could feel.
"Ok love birds…" Will cut in awkwardly and we both cleared our throats. "We need all the help we can get." She told Caleb who nodded. Turning himself in his bed to point at a place on the meridian map he put up in our room not long ago.
"Yeah so there I was, mining a project at Threbe. I remember because I saved the beautiful daughter of the Threbian Lord." For some reason I felt anger well up inside me along with…jealously. My eyes narrowed at him and then widened in shock as he sent me a side glance with a smug expression. What the – "I was surrounded by a three headed triforocamus."
"Focus." I snapped making Irma and Hay-lin snicker behind their hands.
"Right." Blinked Caleb. "The Lurdens were digging in the mind shafts below the old volcano. I thought Phobos was digging for Threby fuel. But there was always the legend…"
'They could be powerless 'till the star passes to a new owner." Cut in grandma. We all groaned. Next owner happening is a 0% chance.
"Oh that's just great." Said Will sarcastically. "Who wants to date a ninety-five pound moth?" she said fluttering her wings. I snorted and looked down at my partially muddied clothes.
"At least Emily doesn't have wings." Said Taranee.
"Good for her." Muttered Cornelia in envy. Crossing her arms over her chest with a huff.
"Our Passling slaves have discovered a new portal." Hissed Cedric as he pointed a scaly finger to a red dot on the map. "It's outside the Earth town, within solid rock." Phobos walked forward, a malicious smile creeping onto his face.
"If the star has chosen correctly, the Guardian's are powerless. Even with human lives at stake." With a wave of his hand a plant with three vicious heads appeared in it. "Put this through the portal.
"Finally, new clothes and washed hair!" I announced and breathed a sigh of relief. Laying down next to Caleb who was looking through a magazine to see what he could buy for the rebels. Resting my head on his lap I grinned up at him and played with the Heart of the Nine Realms.
"I could smell you all the way from the bathroom." He said, eye's never leaving the magazine. "Does the scent of Vanilla follow you everywhere?"
"If I use the right shampoo then yes." Grinning cheekily. Caleb snorted and put the magazine away to pat my soft hair. His eyes widened.
"It's so soft." He murmured in awe and ran his fingers through it, barely noticing that I had closed my eyes. What can I say it was soothing! My body felt as if it was drifting away and I was about to fall asleep when Irma came bashing into the room startling us.
"We've got a problem!"
"Oh shit that is a problem." I said in stunned disbelief, staring at a…whatever mutant three headed plant wrapped around a train track. Biting into it like it was a buffet.
"What is that?" asked Will.
"Blunk know!" announced the Passling.
"What is it?" Said Irma.
"A big hungry plant." His answer made me raise my eyebrows. Blunk was so insightful. The sound of a train horn shocked me to the core and we all turned our heads to see an oncoming train.
"Ohhh God." I mumbled.
"Come on!" shouted Will and we all ran down the hill to where the plant was.
"We've got to do something." Caleb said, running the fastest out of us. Me being the last.
"My thighs are burning!" I cried in pain, huffing and puffing. Why of all days did I have to have PE?
"Nobody cares right now Emily!" shouted Cornelia.
"Oh I feel awful." announced Hay-lin.
"At least somebody agrees!" I said and pouted when Hay-lin shook her head.
"Not like that. I meant that only a few hours ago we had our powers and we were using them."
"To wash a large rodent." Deadpanned Cornelia and we all blushed in embarrassment.
"Your positivity is never-ending Cornelia." I said sarcastically earning myself a glare from the blonde. Finally we were under the train bridge looking up at a humungous eating plant. Leaning on my knees I took huge gulps of air. My legs were shaking with used energy. If only the crystal was working.
"I wish SHIELD were here." I muttered quietly so nobody could hear.
"People do incredible things everyday and don't have special powers." Said Caleb and climbed up the brick wall to where the plant was. I gaped at him and turned to the others, still panting.
"Please tell me…we aren't going to…climb up there." Will shrugged innocently.
"If we can cut it at the base maybe the other end will writher!" shouted Caleb, just meters away from the plant's base. "Throw me one of those!" pointing to the shovel. Will was quick to help and threw one at him. Caleb caught it in the air and jumped up onto the plant. Slashing into it.
"Come on girls." Said Will and grabbed one for herself and began to climb up. I gaped as the others followed. Heck even Blunk grabbed one for himself.
"What…oh why the heck not?" I mumbled and grabbed the remaining shovel. I ignored my legs cry for rest and climbed up. Heart pounding at the thought of falling. "You know my confidence was better when I had my powers." I said and the others murmured in agreement. Looking up to check how Caleb was doing my stomach sunk at seeing one of the plants heads swooping in to take a chomp at him.
"CALEB LOOK OUT!" I shouted so loud my voice cracked. Caleb's head snapped up and he leaped out of the way. But in doing so he fell. The breath was nocked out of my chest at watching him fall. The grip I had on the bricks slackened. Thankfully Caleb managed to grip into one of the rocks and hold himself up. Along with catching the shovel.
Ok that was just showing off.
Breathing a sigh of relief I climbed up to try and meet him with newfound energy.
"You almost gave me a heart attack." I hissed. Caleb turned to me and grinned. Poking his hip out to nudge at me.
"Awe you were worried."
I deny that I was blushing.
"What-I was-" I laughed and shook my head. "I did not worry."
"Hey! Love birds we have a plant to pluck!" shouted Irma as she crawled onto said plant. Me and Caleb rushed onto the plant, ignoring how we both had a faint blush on our cheeks. Kneeling on the plant I hacked it over and over. Freezing when I heard Irma cry –
"IT ATE BLUNK!"
Looking up at the plant that had a wriggling blob in it's neck. I watched in mild fascination as it gagged and spat out a slimy Blunk. I smirked.
"Even an evil plant can't handle Blunk's smell." I joked then shrieked when one of the plant's heads swooped down near me. Whacking it hard with the shovel making it squeal. I winced.
That sounded kinda painful.
My little sympathy for the plant died as I heard the train coming closer. Seeing the head swoop down again I whacked it but this time instead of the plant squealing a side of it got chopped off by the shovel. In shock I dropped the object and gasped as I felt my power and energy return. With my hands glowing blue slightly a manic grin worked its way onto my face.
"Oh yeah." I grinned. "I'm back baby." Jumping off the plant I flew up grabbed one of the plant's necks and tried to unwrap it. I got half way before it almost bit my leg off. Flying away from it I caught Hay-lin and Irma working to unwravel it. Swooping down I grabbed Caleb by the arms and took him to the ground.
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU I HATE FLYING!" he shouted. Rolling my eyes I dropped him to the ground, narrowly missing the plant landing on the ground thanks to Irma and Hay-lin. With a grin Taranee burnt the plant alive. We all sighed with contempt at the roasting body.
Our relaxation didn't last as Caleb pointing out that the tracks were broken.
"Taranee can you weld them?" asked Will and the fire Guardian nodded. As she tried to put the metal back I flew next to her and used my force to help. In seconds the tracks were back to how they used to be (Minus the wooden damage).
"It's good to be back to normal." Sighed Taranee as we all sat at a table in the Silver Dragon eating cookies.
"Define normal." Said Cornelia and Will chuckled.
"We are never taking our powers for granted again." Said the leader and we all mumbled in agreement.
"If your powers are back the Star of Threbe has done its work. Phobos has the person he seeks."
"Well shit." I mumbled.
I couldn't sleep. And it was pissing me off. Turning in my bed again I pulled my duvet off and took in a deep breath. One, inhale…two, exhale…three, inhale…four, exhale…five, inha-fuck it. Oh bloody hell now I'm cold. Putting the duvet back on I stuck one foot out.
Ah, now that's what I call comfortable.
Except that my thighs feel bruised and hurts like a bitch. But meh, I'm used to the pain now after all I've been through in these past six months…six months….Damn time flies by when you're in another dimension. I wonder if SHIELD's angry about today. My eye's flung open and I let out a string of swear words.
Fury said there'll be consequences the next time something public like this happens. And the people on that train would have died if we didn't save them or Blunk wouldn't have been there to witness it.
Thank God for coincidences.
"Emily shut uuuup!" Groaned Caleb on the opposite side of the room.
"Caleb…?"
"What?" he snapped. Wow somebody's grouchy.
"Fury said there'll be consequences next time this happens…" there was silence before I heard him swear.
"And tomorrow he'll kidnap us to tell us what the consequences will be."
"Oh yeah." Again silence.
"Shit."
"Couldn't have said it better myself."
I was right. Straight after school the next day I was taken into SHIELD and sat right across from a twitching Fury. Next to me Caleb was glaring daggers at him.
"I told you – "
"Just before you say anything we stopped the monster from killing people." I started. "If Blunk hadn't told us the plant was there in the first place then we couldn't have done anything. And people would have died."
"Yes." Fury smiled sweetly. It made me uncomfortable. "You did save people. You also revealed yourselves in the open. Again."
"Oh but you've forgetten something Director." I said, with an equal sweet smile.
"And what have I forgotten, Emily?"
"Where was SHIELD?" Caleb frowned in confusion then grinned maliciously. Fury acted as though my words didn't effect him. "You guys didn't know the plant was there, correct?"
"…Correct." He growled. As if it physically pained him to say that.
"So really, we did you a favor. People are alive because of us. And if you want to punish me and Caleb for saving the people you had no idea were in peril by a dimensional plant then go ahead. Even though it is your job to know." Next to me Caleb hid his snickers behind his hand. I saw Fury's jaw clench and before I knew it he pressed a button and the doors opened.
"You're free to go."
I tried to mask my shock but I know my mouth was parted. Hesitantly me and Caleb got up and walked to the door.
"Just remember Miss Collins," he said, making me pause. "if we did know what was happening. You two would be in a different situation." My mouth went dry and I nodded. Caleb glared at the director and held me close to him. His arm around my waist as he led me to the lift down the hall. Once out of earshot Caleb began his bashing of Fury.
"He shouldn't threaten us. We saved his ass, again." He muttered and pressed the lift button.
"I know. But I think deep down he does care about us." Caleb raised an eyebrow. "..I think." He snorted.
"I'm not entirely convinced. Coulson, I could believe. Fury…no way on Earth."
"Don't be so sure." A voice said behind us. Turning around I saw Coulson with a grin. "Caleb, Emily. Nice to see you two again." I smiled up at him.
"You too, Coulson."
"What do you want?" asked Caleb cautiously. I mentally laughed at him. He's so freaked out by agencies.
"We've finished your suits." He said happily and my grin brightened with excitement. "If you follow me you can test them out." Coulson gestured when the lift dinged. Caleb looked like he was about to deny but I beat him to it with a loud.
"Hell yes!"
"Well…how is it?" I asked, bouncing on the heel of my feet. Caleb examined himself in the mirror frowning as he put his trench coat on.
"I feel…more…"
"Flexible?" I asked doing a squat. Caleb nodded absently and flapped the back of his coat with a grin. "OH you're grinning. Why are you grinning?"
"I'm not grinning." He immediately said, grin slipping and leaving no trace that it was there.
"Y-You just…damn you." I grumbled.
"Would you like to test it out?" asked Coulson as he entered the room. Two scientists trailing behind him with awed and shy expressions. I narrowed my eyes at them they seemed – holy cap they're Fitz and Simmons! My inner fangirl squealed. But I contained myself like I did when I first came here.
…then again at night I cried myself to sleep…
"You mean like…fly and shit?" I asked and he nodded. Looking around the room I grimaced. "Not much flying space…" Coulson frowned in agreement.
"You two are highly classified so we can't exactly do it outside…" Coulson trailed off. Caleb and me gaped at him. We're highly classified?…Oh my God I feel so special.
"We could do it in the basketball court?" said Fitz in his thick accent that made me swoon. No. Not swoon. But made my inner fangirl melt.
"That could work." I grinned and nudged Caleb in the ribs. "I can fly in my awesome suit." Giggling like a little child. Caleb rolled his eyes at me but I saw the smirk he had on. He wrapped an arm around me as we followed Coulson. Fitz and Simmons trailing behind us.
"So where are you from, Fitz?" I asked, angling my head so I could look at him. The poor guy stuttered out a response.
"I-erm-where I'm from? Um…Scotland?" I had to contain my laugh.
"Nice. I'm from London. Accent not as thick as yours since I've moved here but…" shrugging at the end. "What about you Simmons?"
"London." She smiled friendly. "And you Caleb, where are you from?"
"Meridian." He said in a less hostile tone he did with the other agents. I smiled up at him and rested my head against him. "It's another dimension."
"A-Another dimension?!" yelped Fitz, eye's blown wide with endless questions. "But you look human."
"What did you expect me to look like?" Asked Caleb in an offended tone.
"Um, green?..." the scientist trailed off when Caleb gave him a look.
When we were in the indoor basketball court I accessed my magic and flew into the air. Twirling around I couldn't loose my giddy grin.
"It's so flexible!" I shouted and landed on the basketball hoop. Looking down on a smiling Caleb.
"Caleb, we made this for you." Said Coulson and took out a sword with a golden patterned holster. Caleb's eyes widened as he stared at the outstretched sword. Slowly he took it and un-holstered the sword, staring at the metal in amazement.
"What metal is this?" he asked in wonder. I floated down and landed next to a gaping Simmons.
"It's Vibranium adamantium alloy. Indestructible." Answered Coulson. "That's what's left of it. The rest was used to create Captain America's shield by Howard Stark." Twirling it in his hands Caleb swiped the air and chuckled in awe.
"It's so swift…Um…thank you." Caleb muttered. And I gaped. Immediately flashing to his side and staring at Coulson in all seriousness.
"You should mark this day as an achievement Coulson. Caleb thanked you. He, thanked you. I thought it was impossible but – "
"Emily, shush." Caleb said and placed a hand over my mouth.
REVIEW!
