Authors Note: Alright, I'm only posting short chapters now, its just too hard to write long chapters quickly with my schedule. I'm sorry, but I just don't have the motivation to work on this story in long periods of time. Also Endgame really threw a loop in my plans. Anyway, here is a short chapter, I hope you enjoy, if you really want me to write longer chapters please review and tell me.
We walked into the helicarrier conference room, a place I barely saw. 'Natalie' who I found out was actually Natasha, lead us, Steve, Bruce Banner, and I, into a room with a large conference table. Ahead of it was a control center, Fury stood in the middle. It was above a large center of work. People typed on computers and scanned things, mumbling codes to each other. Stuff I wouldn't understand. People were communicating with codes and other commands, getting information from a computer, to Hill, to Fury. Then back. It was like a well oiled machine.
"Let's vanish," Fury commanded from the control center in the middle. He stood there for a second, then someone called back, 'reflection panels engaged..' Fury turned around and walked back up to the conference table. I sat down in one of the chairs to try to ease my anxiety a little. Of course we had to fly when I got on. "Gentlemen," Fury greeted the two men, "Korie." I nodded back. Steve causley handed Fury a ten dollar bill. Then went to explore.
I sat back and tried to ease the nerves by doing breathing exercises. My therapist always said, 'breathing is the key!' I vaguely saw Fury go talk to Banner. They didn't want to talk to me. Alright, I'll just stare out the window.
As I looked at the endless blue sky and clouds, I overheard the people working. They were doing a scan of every camera to try to find this man. Apparently he was bad news, he had destroyed a lab in New Mexico, and possessed a bunch of agents. At least that's what I heard from them.
Fury sat down next to me. "Korie," He said, "This is very early in your training, but I fear with who we are going up against, we might need you."
"Okay," I looked down at my hands. "What for?"
"You showed incredible skills when we first met you," He started, "We need you to use those skills to become our defensive. Also, Barton likes you."
"Barton?" I asked, realizing I hadn't seen him the whole time I was there, "Why do you need that?"
"He's been compromised by the enemy," Fury told me. Dred piled on top of my anxiety. "The two closest agents to him is you, and Romanoff."
"So you need me because you think I can go up against him?"
"Partly."
"And because of my abilities." I sunk in my chair, I had been hoping not to use them
"We need everyone because of their abilities Korie." Fury Deadpanned, "You just have incredible ones that can save lives. I know we said to stop them, but now I see that with them you thrive."
"Okay," I agreed, "I'll do what I can." He smiled at me and nodded. There was a beeping in the distance.
"We've got a hit." A man informed everyone. "67% match, wait cross match, 79% match"
Fury and I stood and rushed 'professionally' over to his control center. Coulson asked him, "Location?"
"Stuttgart Germany," He replied."He's not exactly hiding."
"Captain," Fury said, using his big strong voice, "You're up." Steve gave a curt nod and dashed off. Fury turned to me, "You too," I raised my eyebrows, "Go defensive, Rogers will take the lead." Gulping, I nodded.
"Korie," Someone said sharply, I looked over at the person. It was Lily. Her face was a scowl, like she stepped in something disgusting. "Come with me."
I followed her down a series of halls, to a room that opened with a card. SHe opened it and almost shoved me inside. In the room there was a costume.
It was black with highlights of a dark blue color. It had armored pants, which looked comfortable. And it had a hooded cape, it came in around the waist, making it look like a skirt. Lily came up behind me, "put it on."
I did as told and put the outfit on. Miraculously, it fit perfectly. The waist was in the correct place, the pants fit just how I liked them. None of the outfit felt uncomfortable. The cape skirt covered the butt, so I didn't have to worry about some butt shots. As I was admiring myself in the mirror, Lily grabbed my arm. "We have to go."
She dragged me out of the room and down the halls. Not taking extra turns, she lead me straight to where we needed to go. An aircraft. I sighed, and she shoved me into the plane. Inside was Natasha, Steve (now wearing his Captain America outfit), and Agent Coulson. There was another agent flying the plane. I turned back to Lily and nodded at her politely, she just glared.
The door closed, locking me into the craft. I took a seat, and strapped myself in. Then started my breathing. In 2 3 4, out 2 3 4.
"You not a flier?" Steve asked.
"No," I told him, "I'm better on the ground."
"Well," He put his hand on my shoulder, "It's only the short flight to Germany." I laughed a little.
"Don't worry Korie!" Natasha called from the co-pilot's seat, "You have the best pilots you could ask for."
"Thanks!" i called back. Man, it was going to be a long ride.
