When Katherine woke up a few hour's later, she noticed that she was in a quiet, white room. She looked around the room and saw a desk, a bathroom and a couch. Katherine looked down and saw she was in a box with soft towels surrounding her. She tried moving her injured wing and winced. 'Still a bit sore' she thought before looking around again. 'Where am I? The last thing I remember was being told I was going to be taken somewhere quiet by a man named Phil, but I don't see him anywhere'
Suddenly she heard the door open and looked to see who it was. The man who had saved her came in with another man who she recognized as Agent Barton, or 'Hawkeye'. "Just wait till you see her, she's adorable!" She heard Phil gush. Clint sighed "Only you would be such a softy for animals Coulson" Phil just shrugged off the comment "Oh shush, I know you'll like her. You both have something in common" he smiled "And what's that?" Clint said looking uninterested. "You both like to fly" Phil smirked.
Clint's chest puffed up like an agitated bird's would. "What's that supposed to mean? Another bird joke huh? Very funny Coulson." Katherine held in her giggle as Coulson chuckled. "You know i'm just messing with you Agent Barton" Phil said as he walked closer to the box he placed Katherine in. "Yeah Yeah" Clint huffed. Phil gently took Katherine out of the box "Hey there? How are you feeling girl?" Phil asked smiling. "How do you know it's a girl?" Clint asked looking at the bat that was cradled in Phil's arms.
Phil shrugged "I just do, wanna hold her?" He asked. Clint shook his head "I'm fine just looking at her." Phil smirked "What are you scared for? She won't bite" 'Much' Katherine finished in her mind. She'd be lying if she said Agent Barton wasn't handsome, he was dark and mysterious, but not someone exactly her type. Clint glared at the other agent. "No i'm not scared, you said she was injured right? I don't wanna chance accidentally hurting her more by touching her." He said crossing his arms.
Phil sighed before looking back down at Katherine. "How is your wing?" He asked as he gently moved her wing. When Katherine whimpered he frowned. "Still sore huh? Poor thing." Clint looked around the room "Has Director Fury seen her yet?" he asked. Phil smiled "What he doesn't know won't hurt him." The door slid open and a man dressed in all black and wearing an eye patch came in. "There something you want to tell me Coulson?" the man asked. "Urm, we have a new pet?" Phil said smiling and showing Katherine to the director.
The man looked down at her "What is THAT?" the man asked sounding a bit irritated. "A bat sir" Phil answered. "I know WHAT it is Coulson, what I want to know is what is it doing here?" Phil frowned before replying "Well, I was taking a walk during my break and I saw a group of children surrounding this poor creature and I just had to help her out, when I went to check on her, I saw that her wing was injured so I brought her here to heal"
Fury continued to look at Katherine before looking up at Coulson. "Fine, you can keep her, but once she's better, I want you to get rid of that filthy creature do you understand Coulson?" Phil looked down sadly "Yes sir". Katherine was offended by what the Director had called her, so just as he turned to leave she called out. "WELL YOU AIN'T THAT PRETTY YOURSELF BALDY!" The director froze in his spot as the room got ten degrees cooler. He turned sharply on his heel before staring at the two shocked men before him.
"Who just said that?" Fury said angrily. Clint and Phil stood there frozen, having no idea where the voice had came from. "I DID! You got a problem with it baldy?" Katherine huffed out. All three gazes zeroed in on her. "Coulson, you never said your pet bat could talk" Clint said nervously. Phil blinked "I didn't think she could!" They both continued to stare at her. "Hell yeah I can talk! I was just getting tired of baldy here talking smack." She glared at Fury "I am not a filthy creature, I'll have you know I am a very CLEAN individual!"
Fury stared at her before plucking her out of Coulson's arms by the back of her neck. "Hey! Put be down you oaf!" she hissed at him. "How is it that your able to speak?" Fury asked. Katherine glared at him "Why is it any business of yours?" She said aggravated. "Because, when a bat that isn't supposed to be talking, starts talking, it becomes my business because that's not normal here on earth. So what are you?" He asked patiently.
Katherine hissed "You human's are a slow and blind race. You only see what you wish to see and only understand what makes sence to you so you don't have to listen and see what isn't like you." She broke free from his grasp and appeared to them in her human form while rubbing her sore arm. "What are you?" Fury asked again. Katherine smirked "You're seriously asking that question? You know what I am, you Midgardians are always making movies and books about my people that is always very amusing for us to read because you claim to know our race better than we do" Katherine said as she flipped her long jet black hair over her shoulder.
"I'm not following" Fury said as he looked her up and down for any sign of a threat. Katherine smirked "I am a child of the night, and if that isn't a big enough hint along with me being able to turn into a bat, then your race is not as smart as you claim to be" She said examining her nails. "You mean to tell us your a vampire? Clint asked tensely. Katherine smiled "One point for the humans" she said beginning to walk around the room. "Vampire's don't exsist" Fury said confidently. Katherine laughed "Oh? And i'm sure you human's thought you were the only ones in the universe until Thor came along didn't you?" She said as they all looked at each other.
"You know the Asgardian God?" Phil asked. Katherine smiled "Of course I do, I consider him like a brother, and in his eye's I am his sister." Fury frowned as he paced back and forth in the room. "How many of you other worldly beings are there?" He asked. Katherine turned her gaze to him "We've always been around Director Fury, we just kept to ourselfs and left you guys alone, we had no quarrel with Midgard so we saw no point in bothering you. What was interesting was how you people seemed to form an image of us in your minds and made your own beliefs."
Clint looked uncomfortable by this point as Fury sighed and rubbed his temple. "I can't believe that we have something else to worry about." he sighed. Katherine stared at him "As I have told you before Director, my people have no quarrel with Midgard." Fury looked up "I am aware of that, but you do realise that we can't have you walking around and exposing yourself." Katherine gave him a look that said 'Do I look that stupid?' and said "I am not going to expose myself human, I have been here for at least 48 hours and didn't even have a second glance in my direction, you human's are a simple and blind race, it is very easy to fool you."
Fury's brow twitched at that "Are you saying we're stupid?" Katherine smirked at him "You're the one who said it, not I." Fury looked like he was about to pop a vein, but before he did Katherine spoke. "You're the one who came up with conclusion on your own, you do not need to worry about me, as I have already told you. I will not expose myself to anyone, you don't need to worry about that"
"So what are we going to do then boss?" Phil asked. Fury looked at Katherine "We will have someone watch you 24/7 and-" he was interrupted by a not so pleased looking Katherine "Wrong, I do not take kindly to being watched or followed like I am some child Director. Unless you want to lose a few of your men, I suggest you come up with another plan." Fury sighed aggravated "Fine, then you will work here so that we can make sure you don't break your promise, we could use another immortal allie on our side just incase something happens."
Katherine thought this over "And how much will I be paid? Because I am going to need to purchase living quarters since you mortals don't understand the concept of leaving creatures alone when they are sleeping." She said scowling at the memory of those demon children. "We will provide living arrangements for you to ensure your safety, and you will be paid handsomely. Does that satisfy you?" Fury asked annoyed.
Katherine smiled "It does indeed" Fury sighed "Good" he turned on his heel and left. Katherine turned to Phil and Clint. "I apologize if I frightened you two in any way" Clint scoffed "Me? Scared? As if, I am an agent, we don't get scared." He said before looking away quickly and trying to hide his nerves. Katherine giggled at the attempt before turning her attention to Phil. "I wanted to thank you Phil" she smiled. "Thank me? For what?" he asked while adjusting his suit. "For saving me from those horrible children who tried to harm me." she said shuddering at the memory.
"Oh that? That was nothing" he chuckled. "Still, I wish to thank you" she said. Phil smiled "No problem". Suddenly they heard a loud clap of thunder and the skies turned dark. "Strange, there was no news that it was going to rain" Phil frowned. "I don't think this is ordinary thunder Phil" Clint said looking out the widow. "It most certainly isn't" Katherine smiled. Clint and Phil looked at her strangely. "What? I'm rather fond of what comes after thunder" she said.
"What do you mean by-" Phil was cut off as an object broke through the roof and landed on the floor gracefully. "My roof" Phil frowned. "Ah, it's always a pleasure to see you Thor" Katherine smiled as the smoked cleared out and the Asgardian prince was revealed. "Katherine, I'm glad I found you here." Thor said looking a bit troubled. Katherine frowned as well "What is it Thor?" she asked worried. "It's about Loki" he said. Katherine blinked "Your brother? What about him?" she asked. "He's missing"
