Lincoln flipped the file open in front of him, Eliya saw her photo before he flipped the page. "Now Eliya…"
"Ellie please," She said correcting him on the name that only Audrey used to call her.
"Ellie, we observed your ability to learn how we can help you control but it seems that you don't have too much trouble keeping it stable. Considering you only learned about it last night, most of the inhumans destroy a few things before we can get to them. How well do you think you can control it?" She glanced down the red sparks still dancing around her hand, there seemed to be more than when she first exited the quinjet. "Don't be afraid of yourself," His words allowed her to gain the courage to circle her hands, palms facing one another. Within seconds the red sparks gathered in a sphere, creating a ball of energy. She could feel the power that the sparks held, tingling her hand and all up her arms. She stopped the circling but the ball remained in-between her palms, her hesitation allowed Lincoln to instruct her. "Claps your hands together, not too hard just firmly," She did what he said and the energy dispersed but didn't seem to cause any damage but her hands felt charged.
"It feels… not good but like I hold a lot of power. My body feels charged,"
"Your ability is similar to mine in that way, we get charged by the energy around us, honestly the helicarrier isn't the best place for us to be. Too many electronics," As he spoke he did a circular sweeping motion with his arms, white energy streaks traveled towards his hands. He spun it a few times until it made the appearance of a tight ball, almost like he was holding the ball he clenched his fingers. "It doesn't feel like a ball but I could throw it if I wanted to," He continued to play with his ball of energy before splitting it between his two palms, and flicking it upwards. The streaks appeared to return to where they came from, the lights gaining back some brightness. "I'm sure you have a lot of questions, ask away,"
"What happens to my brother?"
"He will get a choice to relocate and start a fresh, SHIELD will be able to set him up with any sort of job he wants with a new backstory or he may be able to convince them to allow him to approach the government and prove his innocence in your adopted parent's deaths and continue his life,"
"What about me then?"
"For now you need to learn how to control your powers completely, once that has been completed SHIELD may offer you a job within it's ranks or you may be able to relocate and return to school. It all depends. SHIELD has many jobs to offer, with anything from a position such as mine out of danger, or more along Daisy's line of fieldwork. You will meet some of the higher field agents while you are here but first I may ask to locate you at one of our safe houses to begin training." Lincoln tapped his fingers on the table, looking upwards. Ellie assumed he was thinking about what to do with her but how could she know. Just then something on him beeped and his eyes broke from their fixed position. "I have a few other things to do, I'll show you to your room quickly," The pair rose together and headed winding down the halls to the elevator, pressing the level 4 button the elevator rose. They only had to walk ten metres before Lincoln stopped and swiped his card into the room. "Here's your room, there is a SHIELD issued phone which should have all needed phone numbers as well as a map of the helicarrier. Your ID card which you should keep on you at all times, you have restricted assess to some areas so the keycard will limit that. There is a gym, pool, library and computer lab for you to use,"
"Thank you," He passed her a small booklet before beginning to leave.
"Read up about inhumans and how we came to be," He exited the room then and the door auto locked behind him. The room was small but had a queen sized bed, a TV, a full equipped bathroom and some wardrobes. As she ran her hand along the wardrobe she opened it, finding out that it was full of clothes. Spotting some sports clothes she knew where she wanted to go. Pulling on the black SHIELD embroidered shirt she grabbed the new phone. Bringing up the map she figured out where to go and grabbed her card on the way out. She had to scan her card to even press to floor she wanted, the map highlighted which route to take but she couldn't help but look at each of the rooms she passed. Some just looked like meeting rooms but she did pass a weapons room which didn't make her feel great. Finally she reached where she wanted to go, as she swiped her card she saw a man already in the gym. He was facing the punching bag, making quick jabs faster than Ellie thought she could even see. She could see the muscles in his arm contracting making his arms appear huge, which she thought they were anyway. He then stopped, wiping his sweat on his sleeve before grabbing a water bottle. As he turned she saw his face. Even sweaty the blond looked familiar, he was on the short side but had arms the size of trees. She wasn't sure where she would've seen him but she swore she knew who he was. He then made eye contact with her as he walked over to the weights.
"Do I have a scary face or something?" Ellie stuttered his strange question startled her. He smiled at her nervousness. "Wow, are newbies always so nervous. Barton, Clint Barton," Then the name registered in her brain and she finally could respond.
"Oh you are Hawkeye!"
"Oh yeah, yeah. I am so easy to forget, everyone remembers Tony or Steve but Clint? Never," Ellie assumed but Tony he meant Tony Stark billionaire, Iron Man and Steve was Captain America. "Are you a new agent?" He was stacking weights onto the bench bar, lining up ten kg masses next to each other.
"Not that I know of. It's my first day here, I'm an inhuman," He did look up at her then, eying her up and down. His blue eyes piercing but not rough.
"An inhuman on their first day? Should I be scared?" She could tell he was joking but the way he was looking over her she believe he general was going to be cautious. "Campbell must be losing his mind, getting less strict everyday. Or maybe you are just that good?"
"Doubtful,"
"Show me," She didn't know if she should be doing anything with her abilities but technically Lincoln never said anything against using her energy. She did the same movement she did when she was with Lincoln, circling her palms so the sparks gathered and formed a sphere, it wasn't as solid as Lincoln's but he gathered streaks not sparks. Hawkeye's blue eyes followed the sparks intently, much like she thinks she probably looks like when she watches the sparks move. Finally she lightly clapped her hands together and like before a few sparks remains but the majority disappeared into the air around. "Not too bad newbie, didn't kill us yet. They usually leave the inhumans locked up for the first week so they don't kill anyone," Ellie didn't know that but it did make her feel better about how much control she seemed to display.
"I'll let you continue with your workout then," Ellie said, Barton then laid down to grabbed the bar, easily pressing what looked to be over fifty kg. She jumped on the treadmill, started off with a short jog before progressing to her usual pace. Before long she was sweating and berating heavily so she jumped off. She bent to reach her toes, placing her palms flat on the floor, stretching to either side. She heard someone else's steps get closer and as she turned Hawkeye was stretching his arms behind her. "Worked hard?" She rolled her eyes at his playful comment.
"Sure, you worked harder though," Hawkeye laughed, his voice traveling throughout the large gym.
"I'm a 'superhero' but you know, not really,"
"No magic bubbles coming from your fingers?" Ellie joked as he pretended to swirl his hands like she did earlier, nothing appeared and he pouted. "Well you just aren't as cool as me then," He gave her a clap on the shoulder.
"All you inhumans and supersoliders, can't leave us people alone," He gave her a wink as they both moved towards the door. The stayed silent as they walked through the black-walled halls. Only seeing a few agents on their way. "How do you like the helicarrier?"
"Only been here a couple hours but I guess it's okay. Lincoln said I may be moving out, electronics flying high above cities might not be the best place for the electricity controlling inhuman," He did give a chuckle at that, his blue eyes soft.
"I hate it up here, the only plus side is there is no JARVIS,"
"JARVIS?"
"Stark's AI, always around watching your every move in Stark towers," Clint seemed to give a visible shutter at the thought.
"What afraid he watches you shower? Sure there is enough to look at," She threw him another wink and he threw his head back to laugh. "Too many people here, don't know if I'd trade to AI for less agents,"
"Well I'm going to Stark's soon, the 'avengers' have to socialize according to Coulson," Ellie narrowed her eyes. "We tend to not get along sometimes, you know casual superhero drama, Stark had his TV broken, Rogers needs more milk, Thor needs to stop creating storms, usual day at the office," The pair had reached the elevator now, Barton swiped his card and the door creaked open, pressing the floor above hers, so she pressed hers. When the door opened to her floor she slowly stepped out.
"See you around I guess,"
"I'll be in the gym a lot, but I am leaving tomorrow earlier for Stark's," He spoke as the door closed, leaving Ellie on her floor. She walked to her room, taking a shower slowly, letting the hot water sooth her. Throwing her hair in a ponytail she decided to look through the papers Lincoln gave her.
'Terrigenesis is a process developed by a radical faction of the Kree race during their experiments to create living weapons to serve as new soldiers in a prolonged war. By performing numerous genetic modifications to various intergalactic races, the Kree planned to expose individuals to the mist produced by Terrigen Crystals, sparking the Terrigenesis process, which would manifest diverse biological changes and powerful abilities that could be weaponized.' *
The paper continued to describe some of the powers that they have seen before, noting the Scarlet Witch as a human attaining superpowers due to a experiment. Her powers were noted as 'various telekinetic and energy manipulating abilities' * however she was not an inhuman. Ellie reread the section on the Witch's energy manipulation, knowing that was most likely similar to what she could do. The phone buzzed, displaying a text that told her to report to one of the meeting rooms, she quickly figured out how to get there and took the elevator down. Looking in there were two men, one was Lincoln and the other was unfamiliar to her.
"Sit down Ms Ranter, I am Phil Coulson" The unfamiliar man said, she pulled out on of the SHIELD embodied chairs before sitting down to face this new man, she was sitting next to Lincoln. "Lincoln has requested your training to take place outside of the helicarrier, because of the energy around the plane,"
"She has impeccable control, which I have mentioned before," Lincoln cut in, Phil seemed to stop to think about it.
"Barton and Romanoff are heading to Stark towers to meet with the rest of the Avengers perhaps she could be allowed to stay there. Lincoln we do need you here but since you and Maximoff's powers are the most similar we have to Eliya's here I may need to let you go with her." Lincoln gave a small sigh but Phil didn't seem to notice. "You leave tomorrow morning,"
