Hey, guys! Sorry for the wait. I know I'm bad at updating quickly. I will do my best to update this every Wednesday. I know Age of Ultron was after Winter Soldier and S.H.I.E.L.D. fell. But, this is an AU where S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't fall. Anyways, thank you to all my readers and enjoy! Have great holidays!

At 7 am, I was ready to go. I had gotten up an hour earlier, not getting much sleep. I was too anxious. Just thinking about working with S.H.I. . was making my head spin. I called my boss and tried to sound sad as I worked up telling him I found another job. I apologized profusely for not giving him a little bit more of a notice, but it was really last-minute. Surprisingly, he wasn't his usual self. He was calm and seemed sad I was leaving. He said he would mail me my last check. I thanked him and then shut off my phone. It was done. Now I was officially ready to go. I had on a white sweater, dress pants with flats. It was supposed to be colder today. Weird, huh? I guess the transition from fall to winter was here.

At precisely 8 am, my doorbell rang. I opened it, and there was Agent Thomas. "Hello, Ms. Jade. Are you ready?"

I nodded. I grabbed my bag and left. We climbed into a sleek, black limo. I sat in the back and Thomas was in the front. I was in awe. I had never been in a limo before. I broke out of my reverie when Thomas got my attention. "Ms. Jade? I need you to sign these." He turned around in his seat and handed me some papers on a clipboard with a blue pen.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "And what are these?"

He hesitated. "Look, Ms. Jade. This job requires you to leave behind your normal life. Since you will be working with both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, the spotlight can be on you. I need you to sign these papers saying you agree." I held my pen in midair, thinking seriously about this. Was that what I wanted? "Also, you cannot tell anyone you work with us. It's for security measures."

I nodded. "Of course." I put down the pen. "Agent Thomas, may I propose something?"

He nodded. "Propose away."

I bit my lip. "Don't hate me, but would you mind if I….. wait to make my decision? Do you mind if I just see what it's going to be like first without signing anything?"

He thought about this. "Fair enough."

He then took the papers away from me. I breathed a sigh of relief. My thoughts were swirling around and around. We finally made it to the New Avengers Facility, established a few months ago, after The Battle Of Sokovia. That was a scary day. I wasn't anywhere near the damage but there was footage on TV. It was horrible. I shuddered at the thought. I shook it off, and focused on it. It was pretty cool. He led me into the building, with just a scan of his ID tag at the front door. The doors slid open, and it was cooler on the inside than it was on the outside. Massive too. There were stairs and elevators left and right. He led us into an elevator. "First up, Ms. Jade is the Avengers part of your job."

I tilted my head at him. "That's right, you never told me what I'm doing with them."

He nodded. "You will help train the new recruits."

My heart stopped. "New recruits?"

He pulled out files he had in his jacket and handed them to me. "Everything you need to know about them." I nodded and looked at the file folder names. Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch. Sam Wilson/The Falcon. Vision. James Rhodes/War Machine. I had never heard of these people before.

I broke the silence. "So, why me?" He grabbed another file that was hidden inside of his jacket and I started to wonder how many files he had in there. "This is your file, is it not?" I nodded. There wasn't much in there, considering this was my first day here, but there was a list of my credentials. One of them being I was trained in espionage and fighting. My father had been a spy and he trained me for that kind of stuff. That is, before he was killed. By an unknown person. Agent Thomas cleared his throat. "As you can see, your credentials are perfect for this job."

Suddenly, something came to mind. "How did you know I was trained to be a spy?"

"Pardon?"

"I never told anyone about this, and my father's work with me was very low-profile."

He just grinned. "We have our ways."

I nodded. "Right."

The elevator stopped after what seemed to be forever but in reality was about a minute or two. He led me to a door and said, "Ready to meet the Avengers?" I nodded and took a deep breath. I had already met Steve. What was the big deal? He did an eye scan and the door slid open.
