Nick Fury was watching Atea with a strange look, "What did you see?"

Atea wasn't sure if she trusted this man, but who needed trust anymore?

"Well, it was Loki. You know, god of mischief? Asgardian? Yeah. Well it was him, but something happened and he sort of... fell off of Asgard? It's hard to explain. I saw him meet a hooded creature, who then started torturing him. Oh god it was awful. Afterwards, the creature handed Loki some sort of sceptre staff thing with a glowing blue stone in it, I'd seen it before in another dream. But he wasn't right, something was different this time. He wasn't himself." She blushed at the end, thinking that she barely knew what himself was, it's not like they knew everything about each other.

Fury nodded, "You said you saw his sceptre in another dream? Was it the same kind? Describe it to me."

"Okay. That time it was Loki again - this was the first time I'd ever had a dream like this - and he was standing before a kneeling crowd. They all looked scared, and he talked of freedom but told the crowd that kneeling was their 'natural state' or something. Worst of all was at the end; a man, elderly, stood up and faced Loki. He said something that made him angry, so he shot the man. Without heart, just in cold blood." Atea was reliving the entire dream, something she really didn't have the strength for.

"If I'm correct - and I usually am - you had never seen Loki before, right?"

Atea nodded, "Nor any of those people."

"Do you know what this means?"

"Loki explained it to me, when I was in Asgard. He said I had special abilities, like super powers. But that I hadn't gained my full potential. So far I've seen into what hopefully isn't the future, and teleported myself. He meant to train me before I - well before I escaped. But Director, I just don't understand why it's all happening now? What happened three days ago that made me have that dream?"

"Atea," Fury said, he looked for somewhere to sit other than the bed, and when he didn't see one, he stayed standing, uncomfortable, "we have been monitoring you for quite some time now. To answer your question, we think that you've had this happen before, but since you were younger and your mind couldn't process it all, it 'threw out' those memories. Right into the trash. Have you ever felt that something was the right or wrong answer? Known things that you shouldn't have? That would be associated with a high level of intuition. But since your level is so clear and high, you are like a prophet; able to see directly into the future. What do you mean teleport?"

Atea was glad she could finally just talk about all the weird things that has happened to her. Fury was right; ever since she was young, she could always guess the right answer, or had a funny feeling that ended up being right.

"Teleport as in teleport I guess, or transport. I couldn't open the door and I had no way of getting out of a locked room, so I just sort of closed my eyes and thought about being on the other side of that door. Next thing I knew, that was exactly where I was; on the other side of the door."

"So there is more to you than just reading the future. Atea, we still have no idea what you are capable of, therefore we will be training you to see how far your powers can go. There is food in that cabinet over there," he pointed towards a cabinet in the bathroom. Weird place for food, Atea thought, "and if you need anything else, just use the intercom located beside your door."

"Director, will I ever see my parents again?"

Director Fury stopped walking towards her door and turned to look at her, his one good eye looking at her almost in pity, "We can't confirm that." He then left her room, leaving her alone.

Well I have zero appetite right now, Atea sighed, thinking, but I may as well walk around. I am not staying in this room forever.

Atea walked out of her room, making a mental note to remember which room was hers, then turned left, back towards the main room. Once she arrived there, she saw Nick Fury standing in the middle of it, four holographic screens around him. Since when did we have this kind of technology? Agent Hill was standing beside him, they were in a heated discussion.

"... We have to find out what she's capable of, Hill. She could help us. And besides, if we don't find out what she can do, someone else will, and that's already happened one too many times. We were supposed to be the first ones to talk to her about it."

Atea slowly inched closer, listening.

"Fury, she's a sixteen year old girl. I don't know what experience you've had with kids, but not much apparently. She's been through so much in the last few days, can't we give her a break? Her parents and everyone else she knew don't even know she exists. She was kidnapped off this planet and god knows what Loki did to her in Asgard, thank the gods Thor got our message. Her whole world is falling apart around her and you just want to see what she can do? How far she can go?" Atea smiled, thanking Hill silently for being the voice of reason.

"But if we train her, she'll be busy. It will keep her mind off of the things she won't want to think about. What else can we do? And I'll have you know that I do have experience with kids, just not teenagers. Teenagers are different."

Atea felt this was as good an opportunity as she was going to get to talk to them, so she stepped in closer to them. Hill was about to argue again, but when she saw Atea she shut her mouth, looking pointedly at Fury.

"Atea, what are you doing here?" Fury asked, obviously irritated.

"I'm bored."

"Bored?" He looked baffled, "What do you mean, bored?"

"What am I supposed to do, just lie in bed for the rest of my life? I don't have anything to do. I don't have those cool computers and tablets that seem to be bountiful around here. Do you guys have like a library or something?"

Just then, Fury lifted his hand to his ear, "Coulson, what's happening? I want everyone out of there. Now." He looked at Agent Hill, "The base has been compromised, we have to get over there now." She nodded and left the room.

Fury looked back at Atea, who was looking expectantly at him, "No, you can't come. Just go for a walk or something. I don't have the time to deal with you." He too left the room, and Atea was left standing there with her mouth hanging. Walk around? What kind of shitty suggestion is that? Well, I have nothing else to do, and hopefully I'll get lost in here.

Atea walked out of the room and turned right, going the opposite direction of those rooms. Officers were walking everywhere, all busy talking to one another. They all carried guns as well, which wasn't surprising, but Atea had never seen them so close, much less in real life. She passed many smaller rooms, most of them were empty, but some weren't. They looked like researchers or medics, busy doing their jobs. She walked past those rooms, looking for something a bit more interesting.

The helicarrier was a maze, with turning corridors everywhere. Atea didn't even bother trying to remember which way she went, she just wanted to keep walking and think.

What were those visions this time? What's happened to Loki? I need to find him, but how? Were those visions the past? The present? Were they the future as well? There isn't anyway to be sure, but I need to know. I need to know if he's okay. It's the least I could do, considering I left him when we were actually starting to get along.

Atea's mind was swirling with a thousand thoughts she couldn't keep track of, so she just kept walking, for hours. She didn't care where she was going anymore, she didn't want to see anything she just needed to ease her mind.

Two hours later, or that was what Atea estimated, she grew tired, and turned around. She continued down the hallway she'd been walking through, but soon she came to an intersection of two hallways and she had no clue which way to go. Damn, I really have gotten myself lost. Atea tried to picture her route but everything looked the same.

Until it didn't.

In front of Atea was a hazy blue line hanging in the air. She had no idea what it was or where it came from, but she followed it, and soon enough she was back in the main room. She was exhausted, but she wondered if Fury and Hill were back, and she figured if she wanted to find them, this room would be the place.

Atea walked into the room. It was night and the windows showed a beautiful view of stars, she'd look at them all night, but she didn't have the time. Not to mention that she was exhausted.

Fury and Hill were there, standing on the platform. They spotted Atea and signalled for her to come closer.

"Atea, just one thing before you go to sleep, seeing that you look tired," Fury said, "we'll begin your training tomorrow at 7 a.m. Please be ready and we'll meet here."

Atea groaned, "7 am. Are you kidding me?"

"No negotiation. Hill will be training with you, and I will be observing."

"Fine, I'm an early riser anyways. Goodnight." She left and walked back to her room.

Once she was in her room she realized that she was still in her pyjamas from a week ago. I need a shower and a change of clothes ASAP. The shower was wonderful, exactly the amount of pressure she liked, and the water was warm. She was thankful for the shower; it calmed her down. When she got out of the shower, she looked through a small dresser. It had clothes in it thankfully, but they were all the same uniform that the officers wore, a plain navy blue shirt with the same coloured pants. The SHIELD emblem was on the back of the shirt and the front of the pants. I guess I'll use these pyjamas one more night, we've been through some crazy times together. Atea got into bed, and not a minute after her head hit the pillow, she was fast asleep.

Our poor Atea is just not getting what she wants, is she?

We'll have to see what Atea's training will be like next chapter.
