IS, this is a redo of my Teenage Spy story. I feel like I wrote terribly so it's been deleted. I hope you find this one better. Enjoy!
I don't own the characters in this story, Marvel does. Apart from my own.
So, tell me, where you would expect a story involving a teenager to start? School? Home? Bet you didn't think of a terrorist base in the middle of nowhere, did you? Well this is where this one starts.
Just a little bit further. Just a little bit further and 14 year old Hadiya would be able to get out of this horrible place swarming with terrorist scum. She was currently stuck under a bunk, trying to connect the wires in a bomb. Usually, there'd just be a button, but this was a unique piece of weaponry. It was not a task for the faint of heart. One mistake the whole building would go BOOM before Hadiya could get out. I can almost hear you saying "What the hell is a kid doing trying to activate a bomb to blow up terrorists?". Well, this girl is no ordinary teenager. Her name, Agent Hadiya Shah of the Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6 as it is more commonly known. She was recruited at the age of 12 and 6 months, after knocking out and restraining a serial killer on a trip to London. No ordinary 12-year-old would do that. After she was spotted, Hadiya was put in to various different training facilities, one including training with the SAS. Somehow, she had survived the course, and after 8 months, was the youngest ever agent to join the Special Operations Division of MI6.
Finally, the wires were connected. Hadiya was tempted to cheer in triumph but remembered these terrorists would try to kill her on sight. She placed the bomb under the bunk and analyzed her surroundings. 2 guys on guard by the door, and one window that could be smashed in order to escape. Could be worse. It should be easy to take them out, she thought, 2 shots from under the bed, jump out the window and run like hell. The bomb was now activated, the bright red numbers counting down from 5 minutes. Lifting up the blanket that was hiding her, she pulled out her pistol and fired two bullets. The men went fell down on to the dusty floor.
"Rot in hell" Hadiya spat at the bodies.
Now it was essential to get out of the building. The shots that were fired must have been heard by the rest of the building. Hadiya smashed the window and looked down. A 2-story drop, but there was an SUV parked at the bottom, still running. How convenient. She leapt out of the window and landed with a thud on the car roof, startling the guards. They quickly recovered their wits and started to shoot. Their target scrambled from the roof and jumped in to the driver's seat. She had never driven a car before, being 14, but now wasn't the time to hesitate. She put her foot on what she thought was the acceleration pedal and sped off in to the desert.
"This is Agent Shah. I'm going to the extraction point now." Hadiya spoke in to her earpiece.
"This is Her Majesty's Corgi 814" She tried not to laugh when the pilot said the helicopter's name. One of the Royal children named the MI6's new helicopter. "What is your status Agent?"
"Oh, you know, driving a car for the first time. Terrorists most likely after me. Really could do with an extraction team."
"Can you see us? 50 meters to your left."
The pilot was right. You could hear it before you could see it. Hadiya took a sharp turn to the left. Once she reached the landing point, she hit the brakes and jumped out of the car.
"Quick, go!" Hadiya ordered the pilot as she climbed in to the helicopter, taking some shots at 2 of the terrorists that were chasing her. The bomb exploded too, rubble flying everywhere. Well, now there's couple of hundred terrorists on the Earth.
The Corgi landed at the MI6 HQ in London. As Hadiya climbed out, she could see the busy roads, and tourists enjoying their day out to England's famous capital.
"ID please." said the security guard. Hadiya presented her badge and was let through the main entrance. HQ was swarming with people, all going about their business. There were tactical teams, scientists, and senior agents in suits.
"Ah, Agent Shah, Mrs. Brown has asked for you to come up for a debriefing ASAP" the lady at the reception said. Mrs. Brown was head of Special Operations.
Hadiya stepped in to the lift, and pressed the number 4 button. Once it reached the correct floor, the doors opened to reveal the Special Operations Division floor. The atmosphere was tense. It was Special Ops after all. Agents were getting briefed on their new missions and scientists pitched their new tech to superiors. Hadiya went to Mrs. Brown's office. Since it was glass she could see the head of Special Ops talking to two men in suits. They definitely weren't MI6. There was an older guy, and a younger looking one wearing sunglasses. Hadiya knocked on the door. Mrs. Brown gestured for her to come in.
"Agent Shah. Fabulous to see you alive and in one piece. So, tell us what happened" Mrs. Brown got straight to the point.
"Us? Are this lot cleared to be here?" Hadiya asked, giving to two men standing at the back of the office a suspicious look.
"Of course. I'll tell you who they are later. Carry on"
"Blew up some terrorists. Around 200 to 300 blown off the face of the Earth," Hadiya explained casually. "As for intelligence, they were planning an attack near Buckingham Palace in a month. I doubt its happening now, the squad that were responsible for it were in that base. But still, I'd let MI5 know so they can put the correct precautions in place. And the police. Tell them to be vigilant around that area. That's all. Now who are these people?"
"Very well. Inquisitive nature as always. This is Agent Coulson." Mrs. Brown gestured to the older man. "And this is Agent Ward. They are with S.H.I.E.L.D. You are aware of this organization?"
"Yeah. Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division. My SO worked with them" Hadiya answered the question without hesitation. She still didn't trust these people.
"Correct" Agent Coulson spoke up. "You trust us?"
"Course not. I've only known you for only 5 minutes."
"Impressive. You know, I like to say that the only spies without trust issues are dead or young. But you're an exception."
"Why are you here? That question hasn't been answered"
"Director Fury sent us here. We've recently created a field team, and we're looking to recruit."
Hadiya looked unimpressed. "My loyalties lie with MI6, in this country. No other organizational. Besides I don't really work in a team"
"We know. Agent Ward here is one of our top specialists. He was reluctant at first to join our team, but he seems to be fine. Anyway, recruit is the wrong term. Some form of an internship. Experience while you're young. I've seen your file. Pretty unique. Recruited at 12. Passed all training facilities. Even been Tahiti on an undercover mission. It's a magical place. That's why we'd like you to join us." Coulson finished his pitch.
"Do I even have a choice in this?" Hadiya turned to Mrs. Brown.
"It's either this or go back to school for the last 3 weeks. Heard you have final exams coming up"
Blackmail, Hadiya thought. Blackmail. Maybe school would be the easier option, but she'd have to deal with constant questions as to where she'd been. In the past, she had just brushed off the enquiries with absolutely every single excuse that could be thought up. Hospital, family issues, the works. But those excuses were running out. She couldn't just say "Oh, I assassinated a government member in Russia," or "You know, just been away, spying for my country".
There was a knock on the door. It was Hadiya's SO, Alex Hertz. He was one of the only agent willing to take on a 13-year-old fresh out of training. They had a sibling like bond, Alex was the big brother Hadiya never had.
"Alex?" The guy named Ward exclaimed in disbelief.
"Grant? What're you doing her mate. ?" Alex asked with equal disbelief as he gave Ward a slap on the back and hug.
"You'll find out. God, I haven't seen you in ages!"
Hadiya rolled her eyes. "Sorry to interrupt this lovely bromance, but why is there a dog? And how do you know each other?"
By Alex's side sat a Belgian Malinois. The dog had well-toned muscles and was quite big. It looked reasonably docile for a dog of its breed.
"To answer your second question, Grant and I know each other from our first ever mission. He was straight out of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy and I had just finished my training. We spent a month or two undercover in Russia. It was a cooperation between S.H.I.E.L.D. and MI6. We became good friends, even got on to a first name basis, but lost touch over the years." Alex explained."
"Yep, those were the good days. Pretending to be in the Russian Mafia. Fun." Ward added.
"As for the dog, this is Tremor. She's, well, she's your new partner" Alex explained hesitantly, fearing the reaction from Hadiya.
"What?! Partner? You know I work alone! Besides, we don't use K-9 forces anyway" Don't get Hadiya wrong, the dog was cute, but not cute enough that she'd accept her as a partner.
"Now we do" Mrs. Brown said, rejoining the conversation. "Tremor will be your partner from now on. No arguments. As for your curiosity as to why S.H.I.E.L.D is here, Agent Hertz, Director Fury has sent Agent Coulson and your friend Agent Ward in an attempt to persuade Agent Shah to their field team. For experience."
"Whoah. I wouldn't pass up this opportunity kid" Alex suggested.
"Doesn't sound too bad. I'm in." Hadiya hoped she was making the correct decision. "I suppose the dog comes too?"
Coulson seemed glad. "Yep. Glad you're on our team"
