Who we are
Chapter 1
Twenty-four hours, that's the time she have before someone come to take her to the HQ. Before leaving, the Director handed her some files way more complete concerning the members of the project, telling her that she will need to know a little bit about them before the meeting.
Steve Rogers – Captain America
Born the 4 of July 1920... Really? God that's funny, she tought. His parents were Joseph and Sarah Rogers. She continued to read the file until she finds a photo of the young Steve. How's that even possible? He's so tiny! She learns that he has taken the Super-Soldier Serum to become the first Super-Soldier. After that he fought Nazis in Europe and he also lost a friend named James Buchanan Barnes who has fallen from a moving train. Wow... That's tragic. She also learned that's during his fight against Johann Schmidt that he sacrificed himself to save the world. A real American hero... Oh God he even fight with a freaking shield ! He's what? The Knight of justice and egality?
Anthony Stark – Iron Man was the name of the second file.
She read his date of birth, the murder of his parents and even his kidnapping but that's not really important for her. What really interests her is the fact that he proclaims himself as a superhero. She knew about the Iron Man like everybody else, but she always thought that it was S.H.I.E.L.D who made the call about his identity release. Not the opposite. That's interesting, if he plays by his game maybe he can help me. According to the file he's considered like a solo player. An independent in a team? It's going to be fun.
When she read the name on the third file she was smiling.
Natalia Alianovna Romanova (Natasha Romanoff) – Black Widow
When she was in Russia, Eve try her best to find information about the soviet spy, but it was hard. During a moment she thought that the spy was someone from her past since they act like the same. In fact, the two women doesn't like to be seen and known. But ultimately, they were not. The Black Widow was way too dangerous to be like her. She killed a lot. Eve had kill too, but not for the same reasons. She has never taken a job where she had to kill someone. The people she killed, they were collateral damages. When she realized that, she stopped all research on the Russian.
After that, she read about Robert Bruce Banner - The Hulk and honestly what she found scared her. How a man can do something like that to himself? The report classifies the doctor as a laboratory error. He tried to replicate the Super-Serum and the result turned him into an angry clone of the Green Giant. He's not a mistake, he just made a mistake.
Later, she read a little about the agent who was causing some problems : Clinton Francis Barton – Hawkeye. For some reason she doesn't think that he was a threat. Sure he knows a lot of things about S.H.I.E.L.D, but he was still an agent, not someone like Fury. Thinking about the director playing in another team was another kind of game. A much difficult game. The only thing that really bothered her about this Hawkeye was his sight. If for some reason she happen to be in his line of sight, she would be screwed. No more Eve and no more Ghost. I have to be careful. Really, REALLY careful with this one.
When she saw the last file, her blood froze. The Ghost she read. Her name wasn't put on there. Fury told her that it was only public information. Only some assumptions and some speculations. There are a few people who know her name and honestly that was enough. Of course, the moment S.H.I.E.L.D found her wasn't inside. It would have be too simple. The fact that it was Fury who let her go when he was a simple agent wasn't there either. Ultimately he's still the one who destroyed all information about her discovery.
No date of birth, no physical description, absolutely nothing. Some testimonies of her victims, nothing else. Some people believed that she was a man, others thought that she had never existed and it was perfect this way. The only true information in the report was her job : thief. Aside from a list containing some exploits, there was no interesting information about her and she was greatly relieved.
After finally having read all the reports, Eve decided to take a break. She needed to clear her head and especially digested all of this. Stretching herself, she looked at the clock and groaned.
''Well'' she said outloud. ''It's time to pack''.

Nineteen hours later she was sitting in what the pilote have called a Quinjet in direction of the Helicarrier who was acting like a HQ. I'm meeting the team... She tought Team..? Squad..? Crew..? What are we? Oh I know.. we are S.H.I.E.L.D pet's. Trying to not think about it, she took the miror in the pocket of her black cargo pants and look at herself. Her eyes were still cold, her skin was way too pale, almost translucent and her long silver hair still braided.
''How long till we arrive?'' she asked to the pilote.
''Less than twenty minutes ma'am''.
Well, she tought, I need to wait.
Twenty minutes later, like the guy said, she was suprise to see that Natasha Romanoff was already there for her.
''They warned me of your arrival. The Ghost, really?''
''Surprise Agent Romanoff?''
''I thought you were a man.''
''Disappointed?''
''No'' said the spy with a smile. ''Not at all.''
Without another word, they made their way to a man in a suit who had just emerged from another Quinjet. A short time later, an another man exit.
''Agent Romanoff'' said the man in the suit. '' This is Captain Rogers ''.
''Coulson, Captain Rogers. This is...''
'' Eve Adams '' said the thief, finishing the sentence and earning a nod from the two men.
When they finally met Doctor Banner, Eve remained behind. Although the man seemed innoffensif, she could not forget what she had read about him. After all, he was still The Hulk. When she saw the two men shaking hands, she took the opportunity to look around. At first sight the Helicarrier seemed to be an aircraft-carrier as those used by the army. However, the fact that several members on the landing runway carried oxygen masks made her perplexed.
''Gentlemen''says quietly the spy '' you might want to step inside in a minute. It's going to get a little hard to breathe. ''
Following this statement, the two men approached the edge. Curious, she could not help herself and she followed them... Where they sent us?
''Is this a submarine?'' Asked the soldier.
''Really? They want me submerged in a pressurized metal container?'' retorted the Doctor.
When she felt the helicarrier flying, she smiled.
''Oh, no, this is much worse! ''
''No, this is amazing!'' She said in a whisper.

In the control center Maria Hill and Director Fury were watching the cameras.
''Do you think we made the right call?'' asked Agent Hill.
''We'll find out.''
