Skye's pov
As I walked away from the BUS, all I felt was this overwhelming sense of freedom. That, with fury's help, I could be who I wanted to be. Hopefully. As I walked into the town where the café was I couldn't help but look around me to see if any of THEM had tried to follow me, I couldn't see anyone but then again, it was not that surprising. The fear that they would drag me back with no choice was small and in the back of my mind, but at the same time, it was like there was a siren going off in my head.
I found the café easily enough, the massive sign outside helped. I realised I was 30 minutes early, so I decided that I might as well eat something, considering that on the BUS, when I found out I felt sick to my stomach and couldn't even think about eating. But now the initial shock had warn off a bit I realised just how hungry I really was. I ordered a huge breakfast, since it was only like 10 o'clock in the morning, found a small booth in the corner with a clear line of sight to the door and waited.
It didn't take long for me to recognise the familiar swishing sound of a long leather jacket. I looked up and there he was. Director fury. Eyepatch and all, I can't help thinking that if I called him pirate how long would I live for.
"Skye, it's good to see you" he greeted me rather nicely. Strange. As he slid into the booth and sat opposite me " especially when you are not putting holes in the side of my plane." Raising an eyebrow as he said this.
" technically, the hole in the plane was a group effort" I retorted with a smirk.
" so, can I ask what it is you need my help with and why it is so important that you need to be as far from your team as possible?" He asked.
" first of all, sir, they are not my team and as for why I want off the BUS I can't stay with people that I do not trust, when all they do is lie to me" I said with a very firm conviction.
" I know it has something to do with agents Coulson and may, due to the fact that I received a very panicked phone call from Coulson not long after you left the BUS, from what I understand." This was said in a very questioning manner, almost as if he was trying to get into my head and considering that he is a super spy, at this point I could conceive that to be true.
"The reason that they are so panicked is, shortly before I contacted you I found out that they are my parents" I raised my hand to halt whatever shocked comment he was about to make " and as well as that they were never going to tell me, despite knowing how much pain the search for my parents caused me"
"Okay, well that is certainly interesting news" he paused I could practically see the gears turning in his head " well considering the amount of hate that I am detecting in your voice you will be glad to know that I told them nothing of our conversation, nor do they know about this one either." At hearing this I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in.
He continued " I have a suggestion"
"Am I going to like this suggestion?" I reply worriedly.
" I think so yes" he says with a very obvious smirk (for a spy) "I've seen how good you are with computers and I have also kept any eye (pun intended) on your field training. You have made great progress in a very short amount of time."
" thanks… I think?" I said.
" I don't want you to be an agent. BUT, I do want you to continue being a consultant, just a different type." Again he paused, I personally think he does this for dramatic effect and it's working. " I think you should continue as a tech consultant, but I also want you to be a field consultant as well."
"What!?" I say in utter disbelief, unable to make anything else come out of my mouth " how would that even work, I mean yeah, you don't have to teach me anything about computers, but the field work, hand to hand, espionage, general spy stuff I know next to nothing" this was a fact.
" true, very, true" thanks for the confidence boost there pirate " but I see great potential in you Skye and with the proper training, I think I could help you become one of the best spy's in the world" I think my heart just stopped " maybe even better than Romanoff" yep, that's it, heart attack in progress where are the damn EMT's.
" okay….. let's just for a moment, pretend I said yes, what would happen to me and my life?" I asked.
" the idea would be that no one knows about this apart from myself and deputy director hill, I would give you a new identity, which with your history is nothing new" ouch, talk about a blow below the belt there fury " we train you to be the best, maybe with a few genetic enhancements, but only with your permission of course, like slower ageing, enhanced speed, strength, agility, reflexes nothing captain America level obviously, but pretty damn close" so he's thought this through then.
" what about the rest of my life?"
" well, because you would not be an agent your life could be pretty normal, no one would know that you exist in SHIELD and even if they did no one would ever see your face, we would send you on all the most difficult missions that we can't get regular agents into, hack into things others can't" man he was really trying to sell this, and I have to admit it's starting to work "I would get you immunity in as many country's as possible, just as a safety precaution." Jesus he has thought this through " so, now the question is, do you agree?"
Okay so he wants to turn me into some sort of super spy, I get to live as normal a life as possible, I basically disappear making it nearly impossible for THEM to find me, I guess there really is only one possible answer.
" yes"
" great! Here is your new identity and everything you need to know about your training, when it will start, who with, you Skye will learn everything this is about being a spy and you will be the best there is" wow. He handed my a file which according to him contained my new life.
" so, I take it you were expecting me to say yes?"
" yes"
" okay then, my new name is, Daisy Johnson, hmmmm I like it"
" you start in two days, go to the address at the bottom of the file, everything will be explained when you get there, you will also be seeing a lot of me and most likely Deputy Director Hill as you will be under our supervision and miss Johnson, you will be the best there is, is that understood?" And there's the intimidation we all love and fear.
" sir, I will do the best I can and I can be the best"
" might as well drop the sir part, since we will be seeing so much of each other, you can call me nick and not pirate like I know you have been thinking".
Rats, he can read minds. " okay, Nick, thank you for taking this chance on me and please, call me Daisy" I paused as I thought of the other elephant in the café. " my old team, they can never know, to them they have to basically think I'm gone, no trace anywhere"
"Agreed and good luck, Daisy" and with that he stood up and left the café leaving me to consider what my life was about to become. Holy Shit. What had I just signed up for, oh well, no going back now. But I was right about one thing, I was going to be the best.
