SHIELD Test : Part 1 Captain America
Midtown High
POV : Nightwing
Since Felicia and I have been spending more time with each other, we have gathered the attention of our people around us. If looks can kill, the guys that have been staring at me have killed me many times over while the girls are also doing the same to Felicia. As we flirted with each other in school, I swore we could hear some of the guys cracking the knuckles and grinding their teeth in frustration.
Peter seems to be more nervous and clumsy around MJ as he tries to encourage himself to ask her out on a date. I have a tiny suspicion that MJ knows what he is up too, as she can be seen smirking slightly as Peter is anxious to try to ask her out. MJ has been teasing Peter with a lot of flirty hints that all of us notice except him. Ned is too busy preparing for our trip to the Stark Expo as he waited excitedly for the Opening Ceremony.
As class ended Oracle called "Nightwing, Fury wants me to inform you that the appointment to settle the bet will be tomorrow night 10pm at the Coulson's SHIELD building rooftop".
...
Coulson's SHIELD Building's rooftop
While everyone is waiting for Nightwing on top of the building, Agent Coulson can't seem to help himself from glancing at Steve Rogers who is standing beside Nick Fury. Coulson is more than happy to meet his favorite hero, Steve Rogers aka Captain America who has always been a role model for him.
Nervously Coulson approaches Steve, Coulson cleared his throat before saying "I gotta say, it's an honor to meet you, officially. I sort of met you, I mean, I watched you while you were sleeping. I mean, I was... I was present while you were unconscious from the ice. You know, it's really, it's just a... just a huge honor to have you back".
Fury rolled his eye at Coulson's words as he wondered how delighted Romanoff would have been to see how Coulson embarrasses himself in front of his hero.
"Well, I hope I'm the man for the job" Steve replied feeling slightly awkward to hear Coulson's statement.
As Fury wanted to reply, Coulson quickly interrupted "Oh, you are. Absolutely".
Fury cleared his throat before saying "You don't have to win the fight, you just need to show Nightwing that joining SHIELD will be more beneficial for him. You have more experience and skills that might help give him a run for his money".
"I hope you like your uniform, I had a little design input. Basically everything is nearly the same except it is a bit darker and with better protective armor" Coulson excitedly said proudly as he ignored Fury who is glaring at him.
At the other end of the rooftop Skye whispered excitedly to Jemma Simmons "I can't believe we will be seeing Nightwing, I wonder will he remember me! and Captain America looks exactly the same as he was during the war. I wonder what his secret is!"
"Shh!! Not so loud! If you have read his file, it is because he is frozen in ice and the super soldier serum could have played a part. Normal humans would not have been able to come back to live after being frozen in ice for 70 years. This would be a huge breakthrough in cryogenic research" Jemma Simmons replied excitedly.
''Fine' is not the appropriate word to describe your state!" Jemma countered immediately, checking her wounds. "You've been shot twice, had your stomach perforated and a breathing tube shoved down your throat. 'Better' is the more accurate word and that's only because anything is 'better' than the state you were in!'"
Skye can't stop grinning since she knows that she will finally meet Nightwing again.
"Skye please make sure you behave yourself, Director Fury is here so please don't embarrass us" Melinda May replied strictly.
"I will try but Coulson is not doing a good job of behaving himself" Skye answered as she pointed towards Coulson with her thumb.
Fury with his right hand rubbing the bridge of his nose in annoyance as Coulson could be seen asking Steve Rogers to sign his vintage Captain America Card Collection.
"It is nearly 10 P.M.. He should be arriving anytime soon!" Leo Fitz informed them of his Scottish accent.
"Oh my god, I am so excited!" Skye exclaimed excitedly as she nudged Jemma with her elbow.
Grant Ward approached them and snorted his nose in annoyance saying "Nightwing does not have Captain America's skills and experience. Cap will easily kick Nightwing's ass if they have the same strength and speed".

Coulson's temporary SHIELD Base
POV : Nightwing
After surveying the surrounding area with Oracle's help to make sure there are no traps or unwanted surprises from SHIELD, I made my appearance known by gliding towards the rooftop.
Landing in front of Nick Fury, I said "Land Ahoy!, Director Fury".
Nick Fury with a serious face said "Nightwing"
Looking at Steve Rogers aka Captain America who is beside him, I extended out my hand saying "Captain America nice to meet you! You need to tell me what you have been taking, you look awesome for a man of your age".
Chuckling Steve, shook my hand saying "Just call me Steve. I wanted to say that joke each time I see that eye patch too. As for the appearance, it is a long story"
"Let's get serious here! Captain America will be testing your skills but first I will like to make the same changes to the deal" Fury said with his intimidating tone.
"What is it?" I replied.
"No super powers! I have a device to cancel out the powers of most superbeings but since it is our first meeting, you will not trust us. I would like you to control your own abilities. Don't overpower the Captain here with your strength and speed but by skills and tactics" Fury replied
Fury with a cocky tone "Do you dare to take the bet?"
"Are we using weapons too or just hand to hand combat?" I asked.
"Use anything in your disposal but I want you to know that under SHIELD's guidance we will bring out the best in you" Fury said in a matter of fact tone.
After a few seconds, I replied "Aye Aye Captain!"
Fury stared at me in silence.
"Sorry, I can't help myself. I have been spending too much time with Spider-Man" I replied.
Looking back at Steve, I said "Take it easy on me, Steve".
"Let the best man win!" Steve replied grinning.
In the background Coulson complains "That is rude, how dare he call Captain America on first name basis".
Fury snapped "Cool it, Coulson".
...
Few minutes later
...
Facing each other, both Captain America and I are in our fighting stance with him holding his shield and I with my electric escrima sticks.
"Kick his ass Cap!" Coulson shouted out in encouragement.
Fury sighs to himself first before shouting "Begin!"
Captain America runs towards me and throws a punch towards my head with his right hand.Dodging his attack, I return to swing my sticks towards his waist which he blocks with his shield.
Captain America pushed forward with his shield trying to catch me off guard.I jump backward by doing a back flip to avoid the attack and throw several wingding towards Captain to push him back.
"Not bad" Captain America said as he blocked the attack using his shield.
I charged to close in the distance but before I reduced the gap between us, Captain America threw his shield towards me.
"Whoa" I said as I jumped into the air to avoid the attack and delivered a flying kick (Rider Kick) towards his head.Captain America side stepped to avoid the kick but I twisted my body in midair to bring my foot around and kick Captain America in the chest.
Captain America takes the blow, using the force of the attack to do a cartwheel and gets back to his feet to grab the shield that is flying back to him.
"Your shield does not obey the law of physics" I said as I quickly prepared myself for his attack.
Captain America smirks as he runs towards me.
I throw one of my sticks towards one of his legs causing him to fall but he uses the momentum to fall forward and roll towards me.
Captain America threw a punch towards my head. I quickly drop my other stick and grab his fist, flipping him over my shoulder and onto the ground.
"Nice" Captain America replied as I quickly grabbed the shield with one hand and tried to put myself in a better position to do a groundwork strike.
Before I could strike Captain, one of the female SHIELD agents shouted "Kyaah!!!! Stop don't move a muscle!!" causing both of us to stop our fight.
She ran towards us with her smartphone and started taking photos in all directions saying "Ohhh! This will look awesome for BL (boy love) fanfiction. Move a bit closer. Okay you can continue your fight!" causing everyone to look speechlessly at her as she ran away.
"Agent Annie Wong, delete those photos! Captain America is the greatest living superhero, you are embarrassing me... no, I mean SHIELD in front of him".
Fury sigh heavily before saying "Get your priority straight Coulson! Both of you can continue your fight"
