Mission 1:

Meet N' Greet

~Catherine's POV~

Stark Industries. My new personal hell. And the devil himself was coming out to greet me. Tony Stark. Director and President of S.H.I.E.L.D, as well as CEO of Stark Enterprises. Not to mention the biggest player in the country if not the world. He made me sick.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite agent. Agent Catherine Mills, Tony Stark." he introduced himself cockily. I mentally rolled my eyes. I despised his cockiness and wished I didn't have to deal with him. Unfortunately he was my boss so I was doomed to serve him, and his little pet project. American Assassination Association, Triple A or the A.A.A. It was supposed to be the new super team. After all the introductions were done, Tony took me on a tour of Stark Enterprises. At the end of the tour we ended up in the basement in front of a vault, where we were met by a man with raven black hair pulled back in a pony tail and a goatee.

"Agent Mills, this is Agent Collister. You will be taking over his duties while he's in Greece. He's going to teach you everything you need to know and introduce you to the girls." Tony said shaking Agent Collister's hand. He then left and it was just me and Collister.

"So, let's get started." Collister said opening the door to the vault. "You can call me Adam from now on. Tony always tries to make me more dignified than I really am."

Adam lead me down a dark corridor. When we reached the end, we were in front of a huge glass door.

"This is your first stop in the morning when you arrive. This is Tula's room." he explained opening the door.

As we walked into the room the air became thick and humid. The room itself looked like a rain forest. There were plants everywhere. Most of them tropical. Adam lead me further into the improv forest until we got to a little patio set. Lying on one of the couches was a girl with long dirty blonde hair and chestnut skin.

"Tula, are you up?" Adam asked kneeling down to the girl. Tula looked up at me and her forest green eyes held me where I stood. They were amazing. They were deep like an emerald and shined like a diamond.

"Adam, who is this?" Tula asked revealing a thick Brazilian accent. She then got up shaking her long hair out of her face.

"Tula, this is Agent Mills. She will be replacing me while I'm gone." Adam explained introducing me. Tula rose to her feet and I immediately extended my hand. She ignored it and gave me hug. As we embraced Adam mouthed the word "Sorry."

"Tula, did you water your ferns today?" Adam asked looking at a nearby plant.

"Why no, I almost forgot! Thank you!" Tula answered her accent over shadowing her soft voice. Tula then disappeared into the jungle of plants. Meanwhile, Adam came over and stood next to me.

"I'm sorry about the hug. Tula prefers to hug people than shake hands. She says she can connect with people more." Adam explained.

"It's okay. What's with her eyes? There greener than humans?" I asked curious.

"Oh that. Well, Tula can control plants and some earth elements. Mostly your average dirt and mud, and sand," he said. "Tony found her and her twin sister in Brazil in the middle of the Amazon."

"I see, is her sister here?" I asked

"No, she's in another part of the building I 'll take you to her next." Adam said as Tula walked back into our eye sight. As she came through the bush a trail of vines followed behind her.

"This is for you!" she said as she opened her hand. Nothing happended. Then suddenly a white lily bloomed from one of the vines and placed itself in her palm. She then handed it to me with a smile. I just stared at it. Shocked.

"You like, no?" Tula asked concerned, her already high voice going higher.

"Y-yes, yes I do. It's beautiful. I'm just stunned." I said. "Thank you." Tula's eyes then began to gleam with joy.

"Oh your ever so welcome! I had a feeling you'd like it. It's just like!" she shrilled floating-literally!-

"Well, we better get going. I still need to introduce Agent Mills to your sister and Aurora." Adam said leading me to the bushes.

"Alrighty then. Nice meeting you Agent Mills." Tula said as she began playing with a rose. Adam then lead me through the bush and then through the door.

"Okay, now we're heading to your second stop. Terra's room," Adam said leading me down another hallway. We soon reached a door, and before we inside Adam turned to me and looked me hard in the eye.

"I have a serious question to ask you," Adam said his voice low and serious.

"Okay shoot." I replied.

"Do you have any secrets?" he asked his face as hard as stone.

I looked at him shocked, "Uh, n-n-no. No sir."

"Good," he said his expression relaxed again. "Because your about to meet our human lie detector."
