A shot in the Dark

by shadow-walker135

Megan Petrelli. One of S.H.I.E.L.D's most promising agents has just been assigned to one of her most challenging assignments yet. Keeping an eye on the avengers. But as she grows closer to their old enemy turned ally, she may just find out that she has unknowingly put herself in the firing line. Sorry, but this story is now discontinued due to lack of inspiration.

2. Chapter 2

AN: here's the second chapter, hope you all read and review *smiles hopefully and bats eyelashes*. Yeah so, don't own anything; if I did I would be a very rich person J Also all mistakes are my own

Chapter two

Megan sat at the far end of the long glass table, brown eyes staring in horror at Director Fury, her brow furrowed and shapely mouth pressed into a thin, displeased line

"You want me to do what exactly?" she barely managed to choke out. Fury just gave her a one eyed laser glare as he shifted the neat stack of papers on the table in front of him

"You heard me"

"I think I switched off at the word 'babysit'"

Fury grunted

"You're going to replace Agent Coulson as supervisory Agent over the Avengers"

"So I'm babysitting some of the most powerful and talented people in the world"

"I suppose you could put it that way, yes"

She looked at him incredulously, apparently the brilliant day she thought she was going to have, had suddenly skipped off onto a more hateful path

"And if I refuse?"

"Then you know where the door is."

He said it with such finality that she could tell he wasn't joking

"When do I start?"

She mumbled reluctantly

"You start this afternoon. Where I will give both yourself and the Avengers the brief on what is to be done about our current situation"

"I wasn't aware there was one"

"Why do you think I have called them all together? Did you really think I would put them under your charge if there wasn't a reason?"

"You never know with you director"

"Yes, well go and report to Agent Hills and meet me at Stark tower this afternoon at 1300 hours"

"Yes sir!"

She gave him a mocking salute before moving towards the old, groaning elevator

"Oh, and Agent Petrelli"

She stopped, closed her eyes for a moment, mentally steeling herself for whatever Fury had to say. She turned on her heel and looked at him expectantly. He took a breath

"Don't let them know about your" he paused "Special abilities, it is probably safer just to keep them to yourself until the time is right"

She nodded

"Understood sir"

"Good, now get out of my sight, and if you're late to the meeting I'm docking your wages"

Her shoulders slumped and she swiftly left. Fury watched her leaving, silently wondering if he had made the right decision by giving her such a challenge. He allowed his seemingly stone mouth a small smile, he guessed only time would tell.

AN: Sorry it's so short and mostly dialogue for now, but it will pick up and get longer in later chapters J
