AN / I just realised, that I haven't published this chapter yet...

Whatever. I hope, you'll enjoy it anyway ~


"Please, take a seat..." You nodded and sat down on the metal chair in the room which reminded you a lot of the meeting room you were acquainted with.

You then looked at Director Fury, waiting for what he'll say. "I believe, you know at least one reason why you were asked to join S.H.I.E.L.D." He started and you responded with a nod. "The abilities, you showed on your mission with our agents were quite amazing."

"I don't think those abilities will be useful, sir." You said. "They are impossible to control."

Fury didn't falter for even a moment.

"Even though your marksman skills are highly above average." He continued. "I doubt even Hawk could shoot someone using a rifle without a scope."

You avoided his eyes and looked at the wall, slightly embarrassed by the compliment.

"Also, you're really good in close combat.." You closed your eyes. "...so I believe any schooling would be unnecessary." Fury finished. "I want you to show what you're really capable of though, so you'll have to show your skills to my agents."

You opened your eyes and looked at the director, then nodded.

"Very well. Agent Romanoff will show you the way through the helicarrier to all of the places, you need to know." Fury turned around and now his back faced you. "You're dismissed, Agent ((last name))."

As you walked out of the room, Natasha was already on the other side of the door.

"You'll have to read some information about S.H.I.E.L.D and learn how to work like one of us, but I believe, Director already considers you as one of the agents." She said, walking through the corridor.

"Shouldn't I go through some sort of training first?" You asked and Natasha sent you a smile.

"Director said you won't need it." She gave you an answer. "I trust in his judgement and you should too."

You didn't respond.

After some more walking, the two of you stopped in front of a single door. The doors like this were splattered all around this corridor and the other floors, you walked through after entering this zone.

"Every agent on the helicarrier lives in a spare room." She said, opening the door and showing you into the room. It wasn't that big, but after the spartan dorms in army, you felt like you'll have too much space for yourself.

There were two one-person beds, one on the left and one on the right, a small night table next to each of them. Opposite to you, you saw doors to a wall closet and on the right, next to the bed's frame there was a single door, leading to private bathroom - you thought. The walls were white and light grey and above you, there was a single lamp.

"And to answer your question, I'm your roommate." You heard the Black Widow's voice and smiled lightly to yourself - you hated when you had to meet new people.

"Nice to know." You responded, looking at Romanoff.

"If you've familiarized yourself with our room, change into the suit and let's go to the gym."


The two of you left and headed back to the elevator. "I'll check your fighting abilities and Clint'll see how good you are with guns."

"I got it already." You responded and Nat smirked at you.

You heard a ~DING~ and the elevator's doors opened. The two of you walked out of it and into a giant training room.

"Your viewpoint of this being a gym, startles me." You muttered and the redhead laughed at your comment.

"You'll get used to it." She responded and lead you to a vacant ring. "Hands or daggers?" She then asked as the two of you almost reached your destination.

"I'll leave the choice to you." You responded and she sighed.

"Your loss."

The two of you got on the ring and Romanoff took a fighting stance. Fists.

You copied her movement, focusing on every of her moves. You were also aware that the attention of all other people in the so called 'gym' was now focused on the two of you. After all, everyone wanted to see how a high-level agent kicked the ass of a new one.

Not happening...

Then you saw it...

The almost unnoticeable change in Black Widow's pose - she moved her weight to her left leg and you knew which moves she might use and prepared yourself for a counterstrike. She smirked at you and you smirked back.

'This sparing is going to be interesting...' The two of you thought at the same moment before Natasha made her first move.

Her right fist flew to your face and your left arm moved to block it, but in the same moment you also blocked the kick with your right leg.

You slightly turned, using the impact you got from her hit to respond, but Romanoff was faster and crouched on the ground, kicking you off your legs. You flexed your back, using your left hand to jump out of the Black Widow's reach.

She caught up to you immediately and threw a punch - a diversion - when her leg moved to kick you in the knee.

You dodged the attacks and responded with a kick. Natasha easily caught your leg, but you moved your weight to your hands, which now were on the ground and used it to attack Nat with both of your legs at the same time, making her back away.

As the fight progressed with the two of you getting more and more serious by the time, all the other people in the gym were now watching it in amusement and awe.

"It looks like she's trained to the edge." Said Coulson and Fury smirked.

"Will you now stop bugging me about her going through the full schooling..?" He responded with a question and the brunette cleared his throat.

"Absolutely."
