Welcome, before we start I'd like to first set some ground news. This is a chapter filled with Flashbacks, a lot. These Flash backs are not on order and will jump back and fourth. But the letters will be in a forward order, if that makes sense.
So yeah forgive my poor grammar and execution of the story.
I do not own anything, Marvel or DC.
-START-
-Two months later-
Dear Rosa,
It's only been two months since I've seen you, but it feels like years. I hope you're okay. As for me, I'm very tired. My new handler (fancy name for teacher) has been pushing me to the limit. Ever since they found out my muscles heal in a few hours they've pushed me. Muscles have been broken over and over again. Let's just say I look different from last time you saw me, I got a hair cut! Anywho how's the shop? Is business going okay and is your cousin still an asshole?
I have so much to tell you but I wanna hear from you first. Please follow the instructions of the person giving you this letter. Hope to hear from you soon.
Love, Barry.

"This is an M16," Hawkeye says as he aims at the Target. While looking directly at me, he fires at the target. Without even missing it. "It's now yours." He then throws the assault Rifle at me. I easily catch the damn thing, it's heavy.
"From today onwards you practice with it every day and at night Widow's got a present for you." He says as I look at him in shock.
"B-but my studies!"
"Fury's cranking up your training," He says as he takes out a... Gameboy. "Now get to it!"
With a frustrated Sigh, I hold the gun and aim. Last month I was given a fake gun and a book about guns. I know how to pull a trigger and how to reload. But I've never actually done all that, until today. The gun has a kick to it and it's loud. But I easily count the bullets through the noise. I miss the target, by far.
"Again!" The handler barks, he didn't even look up from his Gameboy.
Once upon a time, I thought Hawkeye was the weakest Avenger and I could take him. We fought, and I lost.

Dear Barry
I am so glad to hear from you. I-I honestly thought you forgot about me. Things at the store have been going great and that idiot is fine. I haven't been in a good place, to be honest with you, I've been worried and have gone back to an old bad habit to relieve my stress. It's funny really, I've only known you for a week and you're more family to me than my Homophobic parents. I miss you so much and I just wanna hug you!
Also, your friend who gave me your letter, she's a scary chick. I like her! Glad to hear your training is going well. I started some computer lessons but I gave up on the first day. But since you're doing your part, I will do mine. And-Oh shit that chick's glaring at me! Hope to hear from you soon!
Love, Rosa
p.s
How did you meet your friend?

-Flashback-
It's been a week since I started training in Hell. Since my body was at its peak we went straight to hand to hand combat. I was ordered not to use my powers as Hawkeye beat me an inch of my life. The guy was insanely fast, and he hit hard. I tried to get in a couple of hits but he was just too fast and it pissed me off. I started using a bit more speed in throwing my hits and he noticed. He silently walked over to where his bow and arrows were and grabbed them.
"Okay hotshot, let's see what you got." He then fired an arrow directly at my face, that I foolishly caught. As expected it exploded. Disoriented, I quickly Sped out of the smoke, coughing my lungs out. My eyes adjusted and the bruises on my face healed. I turned to him and he'd already fired off two arrows. They each sailed past the sides of my head. One at my left and one at my right. Did he miss? Then the arrows exploded in a burst of electricity and I was in the middle of it. I sped forward, my mind focused on the two arrows and not my opponent. I dodged the arrows but not the three that were suddenly embedded in my chest. Fuck. I pulled the first one out, then...the second one, and the...My vision became blurry and dropped to the ground.
"Those arrows were filled with elephant tranquilizer, enough for three of them. Could kill me, but it just makes you dizzy. Life ain't fair for us normal folk." He chuckled as he walked towards me. "I get it, you wanna use your powers. But when I give you an order, follow it! It's not for my benefit, it's for you. To get better, to be better. Next time you disobey, I will leave. I don't have time for your teenage bullshit!"
From that day onwards, my respect for Hawkeye doubled. As someone fast, I have a bad case of tunnel vision. It takes a while for me to look around and react to a lot of things happening. But for someone like Hawkeye, he scanned the room and burned it into his mind. He saw everything, every single little detail he absorbed. I wanted to be able to do that, scan my surroundings, and manipulate them. Every order he gave I followed, I needed to improve. And he would help me.
-Flashback- end
Dear Rosa
I see you have met Ghost. She's a bit odd but nice...to me. Her being my wife and all that. We have a weird relationship, I'll tell you about it when we meet up. Ghost said she noticed needle marks on your arm. Rosa, please be strong for me, I know you're lonely. I didn't know about your relationship with your parents, it's taking me everything I have not to come and hug you. I remain strong for you and me, you are project Oracle. But I understand if it's too much. You can cut computer class and go for therapy. Please just don't become an addict.
Also, I've been learning Pashto and Dari. Languages that are spoken in Afghanistan.
Rosa, I'm scared.

-Flashback- first week of training
"This is your room starting today," Hawkeye says as he gestures to the Spartan-like room. The room is small with a bed and a little desk. "These white walls will be your new home. You and May are not allowed to converse until you are told to. Clothing is in the locker room we just passed so if I need you dressed for an occasion you will be informed. Food will be brought to you, but if you want a late-night snack there are energy bars on the desk. Any questions, No? Good!" And like that, he was gone. Great! Home sweet fucking home.
I take off my shirt and shoes and just flop on my face. Fury just threatened me, hard. It was the scariest thing I have ever experienced in my entire I've, both present and past! My only option right now is to work for Nick Fury until I'm powerful enough. I first thought of only progressing my speed to the next level, but this is the Marvel universe! So many things can make me powerful plus I know where every single infinity Stone is. I just need some sleep and I'll work it out tomorrow. I close my eyes and begin to drift into the realm of sleep.
Only to feel something straddle my back. I try raising my head to see who it is, only for a hand to shoved back into the pillow. The hand then turned my head to the side and I could now see the masked face of ghost as she leaned in. Was this another test?
"We have two minutes before Hawkeye shows up, I set off a small Emp blast that disabled all the bugs they planted in the room. I need to talk to you in private, it's about Shield." Ghost says, her voice deepened by her mask. "Once he's here, tell him your powers are acting up." She whispers before vanishing just as the door to my room.
"Your room just went offline," Hawkeye says as he scans the room. "Everything apart from the lights and air conditioning has shut down, why?"
So do I lie? What is even going? Is Ghost telling me to lie to Hawkeye shield's way seeing If I'll betray them? if it is, it's fucked up. But what if it's not? All maybe Ghost is pretending to be a double agent and my test is to find out what's going on. Guess I'll just have to find out from Ghost...
"My powers must have glitched, " I say as Hawkeye narrows his eyes. "I-I was trying to throw my lightning around and I guess I did...something? If my lights and air-con are working then what did I shut down?"
Hawkeye stared at me for a few seconds before leaving. "Go to sleep."
"Yes sir," I mock salute as I lay back on the bed. This time I was facing upwards, I knew Ghost would walk in any moment. Five minutes pass before her Straddle me again. This time her mask was off, showing a beautiful face with long black hair, slightly dark skin, and bright green eyes.
"I didn't think you'd agree to my plan," Ghost says as she stares at me. "Why?"
"Call me curious," I say as she tilts her head to the side.
My powers," Ghost says as she looks me in the eye. "They hurt me, they have hurt me for years. Always ripping me apart and putting me back together. But when I'm near you, my powers...stop. It's like your canceling them out every time I'm near you, every time I...touch you." Ghost says as she slowly unzips her white bodysuit. "Shield made this suit that helps me control my powers but it doesn't n stop the pain. It never does..." The top part of her suit was off revealing the tight white vest she wore inside. Ghost then got off me and removed the entire suit. In a slow, almost sexual way. Once that was was off she was left in only a tight vest, black booty shorts, and her white combat boots. Overall, she looked sexy as fuck. "I need the boots in case of a speedy getaway."
"Seems legit," So far what Ghost has said is true, I watched Ant and The wasp before I died. But the part where her powers are canceled on my own...I think the speed force has something to do with this. I guess quantum physics doesn't do well with speed force physics, who knew. "So now what?"
"Now, I'm yours to do as you please." Ghost says as she gets on the bed and snuggles next to me. "Just make the pain go away..."
Whoa, she's doing all this, going against Shield and letting me have her body just to make her pain go away. So she works for me now! Ghost is powerful, she's like an upgraded Black widow. She can practically assassinate anyone, even the asshole who threatened me...
My how the turntables have turned.
I can't help it, the laugh just bursts out.
"Bwahahahahahahaahaha!!!"
"Honey keep it down, I wanna sleep."
"Ah...sorry?"
"You may snicker quietly," Ghost...Ava says as she snuggles deeply into me. Wait her name is Ava but I forget the last name. But just to make sure she's on my side."Hey, what's your real name?"
"Ava, Ava Starr." She answers honestly. Ava Starr is officially in team Flash. I wonder what I can do with you?
Apart from killing Nick Fury that is...

Dear Barry
After your last letter, I've been working hard, that old addiction of mine? I traded it in for weed. The computer studies are going great but I'm still worried sick. Hence the need for weed. I don't know why they have you learning Afghanistan but...I try to do some digging and see what's going on over there. I...I went on a date last weekend. To distract me, she was nice and we had sex but I kept thinking of you and I ended up crying...during the sex. What a pussy, right. So I-shit the crazy wife chick is glaring again, that means it's time to finish up! I miss you so much and I love you! Bye!
Yours truly, Rosa
P.s What is up with the crazy women in your life?!
...
...
...
-Now- no more complicated Flashbacks!!!
Speaking of crazy women, I'm currently standing in front of one. Black widow stares at me with green eyes before she smiles.
"Take off your clothes," She says with a smile and I instantly obey. Shield's teaching style is similar to that of Mr. Miyagi from the old Karate Kid movies. When they tell you to do something unorthodox it's best to just do it, it is very beneficial in the long run. I strip off my grey shirt and pants. Leaving me in my black boxers. Widow stops for a moment, eyebrow raised before she laughs. "I didn't expect you to do that. May certainly wouldn't have." Widow says as she looks me over. "I see your training has been beneficial in the physical department, let's check your mental defense." And with that she begins stripping the red shirt she was wearing, exposing her giant breasts held back by a lacy black bra. Now she was dressed in a bra and yoga pants-that she is currently taking off. Great, a lacy bra and a pair of matching panties.
"Alright kiddo, show me what you got!"
WOOSH
Before she could move I was already upon her, My fist was already crushing against the side of her head. I've fought her before and I lost. I hesitated, and that was all she needed. I found a throwing star lodged in my leg, two kunai in my gut, and the beating of a lifetime. I learned my lesson, always throw the first blow.
There was enough force in that punch to send a normal adult stumbling back, but it just made Widow stagger a bit. I go for another punch, clearly seeing her ready to intercept. So I aim a little lower, burying my fist lower. I must have put in a lot cause the punch lifts her off the ground. Everything to me is in slow motion, and thanks to my training I see all. The only way to beat a speedster is to take them by surprise. That was one of my few glaring weaknesses and Shield beat it out of me. I take a few speed powered steps back and Knee her in the chin. I grab her by the hair and just go to town on her face with a rain of punches. My hand quickly lets go of her and catches the two arrows fired at me.
"Kid that's enough!" I stop and turn towards Hawkeye who was watching from the side. Panting hard, I Step back and watch the gasping form of Black widow on the ground. After all the shit I've been through, this felt good. I felt, powerful...
"Hit the showers!" Hawkeye growled as I passed. I may have gone overboard with that and it will probably bite me in the ass. With a sigh, I walk to the showers. I was already in my boxers so I walked in and turned on the shower. The cold water hit my body and I felt myself calm down. When did my heart rate go up?
"That was impressive," Great, this asshole is here. "My best Agent, down just like that."
"Sir," I say as he chuckles.
"At ease," Fury says. "You passed your final test and are now ready for the exam." In Fury's hands were documents. "Dry yourself off and take a walk with me." He turns and walks as I step out of the shower. I zoom to my room, put my clothes on and run back to the corridor Fury was walking in.
...I dried up while speeding to my room.
"Didn't comb your here," Fury points out as I fall in step with him. I just shrug and do not say a thing. "After months of training, we have decided to send you on your first mission. It's a simple one really, in and out." He hands me the documents as we stop in the Corridor. Upon reading the documents my blood runs cold. "I take it you read the mission." Yeah, about a hundred times over and I still can't get over my shock.
Ghost, May, and I are supposed to go to Mazar-i Sharif and 'take out' someone. Now here is the part where things for in, Mazar-i Sharif a city in...Afghanistan. And I just so happened to have learned the local language. The person we are taking out is the current head of Al-Qaeda, Osama bin laden.
"Sir, do you happen to know what 9/11 is?" Fury looks at me raised brow before shaking his head no. Yeah, that kinda makes sense, and now that I think about it. There are no Twin towers in this world.
"Is it something I should know?"
"No sir," Fury stares at me for a while before turning away.
" A few years back Al-Qaeda had once hijacked two planes and was planning on crushing into New York, Shield intercepted them and managed to stop them. After his embarrassing defeat, Osama and his group went into hiding. Now he's been spotted, our Intel suggests he's building an army. Of enhanced humans." Fury says as my eyes widen. This guy managed to spread terror around the world with just normal people but imagine if he had some enhanced humans add to his already large organization. "By the look on your face, you've come to the same conclusion as us. This mad man has to be stopped. But can't go in guns blazing without starting a war. This needs to be done quietly." I'm pretty sure Ghost can do this alone. Heck, even Black widow can do this alone, so why us. Why May and I. "You leave in two days, go get a hair cut or something." ...my hair has grown out. Fury leaves without taking the documents, I guess these are for me.
This place doesn't have internet, or rather May and I don't have internet. They probably think I'd spend my nights watching porn, they would be right. I need to look into that city, find out more. Like what the actual fuck Afghanistan looks like, in my mind I see a desert. I'll just ask Hawkeye tomorrow. Today I just beat the shit out of his best friend, he might not wanna see me right now. Again I have to tell Rosa about this...
I zoom to my room and flop on my bed. I notice the Tablet Fury gave me was beeping. Huh, guess it's good for something other than Angry birds and re-reading Shield official guidelines. Picking the Tablet, I seat up and tap on the new messages. I've been sent a 3D map of the City, the roads, paths, and building all shown in great detail. I have also received the official plan. We will land just outside the city, find the contact that Shield has, extract infor and find a way into the city. I mean Shield could have just gotten the information from the guy but I guess they want to make things hard.
So I know what Ghost can do, she's a stone-cold killer. But May, I'm not sure May Parker will be up for this. With all that Self-righteous bullshit she has going on for her, can she kill someone? But honestly, that last part was for me. Can I take a life? Will I take a life? Guess I'll find out in two days.
while reading through the Map, I feel her hands massage my stiff shoulders. "I take it you know about the mission?" I ask as Ava hums. "Do you think I'm ready..."
"You're overqualified my dear," She says as her magical hands go to work. "I'll be there every step of the way..."
"I need you to send a letter..." I mutter, I go to the drawer pull out a pen and paper. I start writing as Ava stops massaging and just holds me close.
"Should I be jealous of...Rosa." She asks as I pause for a moment.
"Ava, Rosa is best girl." I simply say, going back to writing. "Of course you should."
-Next day-
"This is your new suit," The tech guy, David says as he opened up a large suitcase. David is tall with brown hair wearing glasses, he looks like a nerd. If the nerd was tall and buff. Like this guy was fit! Guess shield beats fitness into everyone, even it's tech guys. "if you could please try it on." I nod as I grab the suit, and put it on. It's in two parts, the first is the top part that's light and breathable. The second is a pair of slightly baggy pants. Everything is black, except the shield symbol on my chest, it's silver. "The entire top part is made of a lightweight bulletproof material, that also allows for easy movement. It rips, stain resistance, and can handle your current speed. The pants are also ripped resistant and can handle friction. We also..." David pulls a utility belt out of the case and hands it to me. "Have a utility belt!" The utility belt has two pouches, one on my right side and the other on my left. "The pouch on the left holds magazines for your handgun and the other holds some lunch bars. Usually, we put in more stuff like listening devices and what not but the mission is a pretty straightforward one." So I get some fancy clothes and a handgun...
"And finally, shoes!" David pulls out a shoebox and opens it. "Friction resistant light boots." They are black with a thin blue line like the design on them. What's up with that? "And finally your custom-made made handgun! It's palm locked, so only you can fire it. We...we don't know where you are comfortable with gun being holstered." Oh, how thoughtful of them.
"Maybe on my upper thigh," I say as David nods.
He pulls out a small circular sliver device with a blue glow in its middle. "This is our latest new magnetic gun holster. Just put it where you want on your person and Bam! The gun easily sticks to the blue part." He hands me the magnet holster and I place the back against my upper thigh and instantly sticks. "Your weapon will be handed to you the night you leave. For now, that is all, good day to you." With that, he grabs his case and leaves. Bye, David.
The suit looks and all but let's see what it can do.
WHOOSH
I zoom around the training area for a few minutes before stopping. The suit handles better than Johnny's, to be honest. It's like it was made- of course, it was made for me! Wish they added gloves though.
...
...
...
May stared at the tablet with dull green eyes. The video playing on it had her full undivided attention.
"Girls above the age of seven should not be educated!" The man on the screen growled, in his hand was a gun and it was pointed at a crying woman whose eyes were covered by a black cloth. The little girls around him begged and cried. The man, who she assumed was the woman's husband was on his knees begging. "This is God's law! You have broken God's law!"
BANG!!!
BANG!!!
May flinched at the noise. The ma-monster had shot both the woman and the man. "GOD IS GREAT!!! The man screamed over the sound of wailing children. His men then proceeded to load the children into a nearby Van.
"Those are expensive you know," Her Handler said as she entered the room. May looked at the tablet in her hands and it was crushed under her strong grip.
"Sorry," May whispered as the older woman sat next to her.
"Your friend Barry, he gave me a good beating yesterday." Black widow said as May looked at the woman in shock. Black widow did have a few bruises on her face but that didn't stop her from still looking gorgeous. "He's improved."
"I'm glad," May said with a small smile, she was happy for her friend.
"But so have you, and tomorrow you will show him." Widow said as she hugged May. "You two should watch each other's backs out there."
"I... I'm scared." May said as tears fell from her eyes. "I don't wanna kill anyone..."
Widow just held her closer and tighter. "When you get back, I will be here for you."
The two remained silent.
...
...
...
Today is the day.
My sleep was short, I spent the entire night just staring at the ceiling. It was around Six in the morning when Hawkeye came to pick. He didn't seem surprised I was up. He said I was free to go...out for the day. You can imagine my shock.
"Ah...sorry about what happened with widow," I say as he stares at me. "Is she okay?"
"Don't worry about Nat, she's a big girl." He says with a small smile. "You slipped up, that's good. I don't want you being some emotionless robot. Plus you learned your lesson. When it comes to Nat always strike first. Now get outta here!"
"Yes sir!" I say as he leaves. I quickly grab my new friction-resistant boots and put them on. Yes! I've missed the outside World! I raise my hands in the air with a grin. I can't wait to see-I better hit the showers before I go.
One super fast shower later...
Oka,y I have on my black T-shirt and some slightly baggy cargo pants that are grey. The boots are hidden beneath the pants, so it looks like I'm just wearing some cool looking shoes. I cut my hair a while back but it's grown back with a vengeance. I'll cut it later...
I can't wait to see hair, it's been months but it feels like ages.
WHOOSH
I sped out of the warehouse and went straight into the city. I ran at breakneck speeds, dodging people and leaping over cars. I was excited. I couldn't wait to see her face, her reaction to seeing. Did she miss me the way I missed her? Would she cry? Would I cry? Before I knew it, was standing at the entrance to the store.
She had her back to me. Her hair had grown out and was sticking out but it still looked good. She was dressed in a black hoodie and some cut off jeans that showed off her nice ass and beautiful legs. Her feet were clad in some red converse and she slightly moved around.
I cleared my throat and she quickly turned.
"Welcome to-" She stopped as her eyes met mine. The box of spray cans she was holding fell to the ground, the cans making noise as they scattered on the floor. I could now see her front, the hoodie she was wearing was the Flash hoodie. The unofficial symbol of our partnership...our friendship. "Barry..."
Tears, she had tears in her eyes as I watched her run towards me. I could see it all, the way her tear-filled eyes lit up and the smile that slowly bloomed on her face. By speed she was gorgeous. I know I missed her so much, but the way my heart jumped for joy at seeing her. This was something else...
What was I feeling?
She had reached me, she was leaping off the ground and my arms were wide open. Waiting for her. I felt my cheeks wet, I was also crying.
"It's been a while, Rosa."
...
...

END
A/N. Da, mn that goes to show you that Shield ain't no daycare! This the real deal son! I'm glad you made it to the end of that shitty chapter.
Yep shield, what did you expect. We're off on our first mission next Chapter, yay! I hope you guys like this. Butt fuck, I feel like people won't like this. And I'm a little worried. So I cut this chapter in half. The other half will be coming soon. And both everything will change. As for what's happening with School and MJ well next chapter will find out. I think.
So about the whole shield and 9/11. I don't want to offend anyone but if we lived in a world with the overpowered Shield I have created, would it have happened. Not to say our governments are incompetent or anything like that. So I just ended up removing the twin towers entirely. Hope that makes sense...
But just imagine if that 'guy' had Mutan- enhanced humans on his side. I don't even wanna but I have to for the sack of the story.
People who were expecting the X-Men to appear but that's gonna be a while. I think. We, ll I gotta go finish up the chapter real quick. So you guys favorite, follow and review. So once I get enough reviews and whatnot I can post the next chapter.
To the guy who keeps saying the name, The Flash is terrible suggest a name, I can use as his shield code name. You have my attention.
