Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own anything but my OC's so no I do not own the everly awesome Agent Coulson and his team.


The next day started out with a special assembly for the year 12's. I assumed that it was about our exams, which we were due to start next week; when we didn't have an exam we would be studying our butts off! However, I was wrong about the assembly.

As we gathered in the hall, I noticed that we had a few new faces in the front row of the gathering. I suppose this may be about the interns, but if it was, why weren't the other year levels here? I whispered to Lauren who was sitting beside me

"Do you think those are the new interns Mr Olger was talking about?"

Lauren rolled her eyes at me "Sometimes I am glad that I am older than you, you should've realised that our principal is about to start her speech."

Penelope was sitting on my other side and whispered loudly "Both of you shut up! Honestly people will start to think that you're actually in grade 2."

That shut us up. Principal Callaghan cleared her throat and stared around at the year 12's and then smiled before she began. "This school has prided itself in being the state's best for many years and has been delighted with the outcomes of many students and interns. However the path that our year 12's takes can sometimes be confusing….."

And blah, blah, blah! The boring speech about how difficult life must be after year 12, honestly I've only just gotten a part time job, I have a long way to go before I will be put out on the streets by my parents. Something in Principal Callaghan's speech caught my attention and I tuned back in

"As you all know, SHIELD has been returned back to its original authority, but obviously it cannot continue without new agents. Therefore, over the next week there will be six agents overseeing your studies. These agents are looking for a select few who will be offered a place at an academy. Please join me in welcoming them on stage."

I don't think I've ever been more shocked in my entire life. I was getting involved in something that my father had specifically told me to stay out of, and yet there was nothing to do. This was all because of chance, all because I was smart. And yet, when I saw them look at Lauren and me, there was something there that made my insides turn to ice, something that said they already knew.
