6; HELICARRIERS AND THE AVENGERS
Abbey hugged me so tightly, I felt like my whole skeleton is about to pop out like a pop tart out of the toaster. Yeah, I decided to go with Nick's plan on cheering me up, therefore, I am on my way to a S.H.I.E.L.D base on a place called a helicarrier. Nick explained that it could turn invincible, it flies or floats in midair, and it's so huge that it holds a large base and all of those jets and rockets, practically everything. I am still curious, but I thought I would regret this decision, one way or another, because I am going to come with Nick Fury to help with Avengers Initiative, like how could I be any help with the Avengers? I would love to meet them, but still unsure of working with them. I may have these powers, but I guess I won't really need them. After all, I honestly have nothing to do but cry, eat, sleep, and stare at my mother's photo the whole time. This would ought to cheer me up, as what Nick said and thought.
"I'm gonna miss you so much," Abbey still hugged me tightly, like she is afraid to let me go.
"Abbey, it's going to be a couple of weeks," I assured her, she's starting to loose her grasp, "I'll come back. I mean, I hope. It would lift my spirits and cheer me up from the tragedy." I said the last sentence sarcastically, like how would you get cheered up just by helping a bunch of superheroes?
"I think you need this," she said it like she's always right, "but just think about it, probably save the world, do super-spy fighting and stuff. Probably even find a man." I scoffed, because the last part will definitely not happen. Also, she did gestures of her fighting and all that stuff, it was kinda funny.
"I don't need a man, yet." I am right, because I know a I am. Although on this 'mission trip', I am looking forward to meet the man that my mission when I was eighteen involved with. His full name is Steven Grant Rogers, and Nick told me that they finally found him thanks to some of my help. I mean I honestly don't think they needed my help, but that mission was so top secret and it was really memorable. His other alias is Captain America, sorry but I kinda think it's a cheesy name. His story is interesting and that mission was memorable, considering the fact that it was successful.
Steve Rogers was a laboratory experiment, sounded wrong but he kinda is, and because he was so frail, they thought 'hey, why not test the Super Soldier serum on this guy?' The Super Soldier serum heightens the human body's potential, practically making you run faster, or lift heavier things. And in the end, it was ultimately successful. I've witnessed it, but the story would be rather be told another time. When we arrive on that helicarrier, I sort of wish he won't recognize me due to that mission. He's a man out of time, after all.
"And Abbey, I will still miss you, so tonight call me." She looked at me with a looked that says she's about to start a speech. Oh great.
"Amelia look at you, always down nowadays. Obviously I don't approve of that, but you are lucky to live the moment, live life to the fullest.". Then her eyes softened, "look, it's not like everyday you get to hang out with superheroes-"
"Whoa, so you're practically telling me to think deeper with this thought and at least look forward to this?" Her eyes widened, because every time she starts a speech or something like this, me and Nick would be late to the base.
"Did you just read my mind or something? Because I was about to add a meaningful quote with high hopes that'll you would at least listen to me," honey, I saw it coming, "but would you at least do that, for me?"
I'm not sure, "Alright, I'll try."
She smiled, I smile back. "Good, I mean you are lucky to hangout with them," she said like pointing to Nick Fury waiting, outside his jet. Did I even mention we are on top of this huge building, about to fly away in a private freaking jet?
"Speaking of which, alright I will call you and I think you better get going.". Thankfully Abbey is sticking to the topic.
"Alright," I hugged her one last time, "I love you as my dearest best friend and a sister."
She smiled, showing her perfect teeth, "Yeah, it's just a few weeks, but I'll miss you too." She then looked at me sternly saying, "and I expect a man coming home-"
I let go immediately, "not there Abbey!" and we grinned back and forth to each other. Its time.
So, I started walking away from my best friend and headed on to the jet, where Nick is actually patiently waiting. He gestured that we have to get going, or else the Avengers will arrive there first. We settled on our seats, and we took off ten minutes later, I mean it's a jet. Nick started explaining and handed me a digital, black file that included all of the Avengers' profiles, some caught footage of them fighting, and documents about the Tesseract, I wonder what that is. Then, he started explaining.
"Amelia, the reason why I had to leave immediately after the hospital incident was because we have to recruit the members of Avengers Initiative," huh, "but before those two days, after our meet up from the cemetery, our scientists and our special astrophysicist, Dr. Selvig were testing on an 0-8-4." What's an 084?
"An 084 is the code name for an object with an unknown origin, but obviously we know almost a lot of things about the Tesseract." Ha! It's no longer an object without origin! I looked up from the digital files, I mean all this trouble for this four dimensional cube? What does it do anyway, so I read further. "A man by the name of Howard Stark, he found and retrieved the Tesseract from the ocean while he was looking for Steve Rogers, practically when you were eighteen, both Howard and you had the same target, but he failed so there began Project 45." Wait, he said Stark, like related to the Tony Stark now? So, I took another glance and that's where I learned he is a relative, He's the famous Tony Stark's father. And by the way, Project 45 was the name of that mission. Nick kept explaining, and these are all interesting details.
"Anyways, we activated Avengers Initiative because as soon as I came back to base from our coffee, they were having little progress while testing. We decided to use the Tesseract as an energy source, for our weapons," wait, like what HYDRA did? "Then all of the sudden, the Tesseract created a portal, bringing in this unusual man, or God from outer space." I read the Tesseract's files, and it states that it creates portal from the other end of space. And what does he mean by man or God? I'm pretty sure we have only one god, and he definitely doesn't come from outer space. He kept on explaining.
"The man attacked us, and suggested about the invasion of our planet, therefore 'war' is coming." Deep, seriously just say war and we're doomed to the face of the Earth. I started summarizing, "So he stole the Tesseract, and he enslave Dr. Selvig and other of my agents, even Agent Barton as his minions in order to fulfill his greedy need of Earth's capture." Okay, who is this man, and Nick, I need to help. I mean, the famous Agent Barton is kidnapped, and how will the famous Agent Romanoff survive that? I never met them, but it's time to find out.
"What's his name?" I asked. He gave me a determined look of finding this man and the Tesseract before he decides to begin invading Earth.
"His name is Loki." Hey, that name sounds familiar. Okay, ever since he told me about Avengers Initiative, he explained about Thor, whom I never knew before so, it made me curious. Well, I'm gonna confess that I kinda hacked S.H.I.E.L.D Databases in order to read the file of the incident that involved Thor in New Mexico. And I also got curious about Norse mythology, except they're not really myths anymore, but I read that Loki is the brother of Thor, adoptive brother and yup, he's the God of Mischief and Lies. I mean what is this, like siblings revenge to another or something?
"Amelia," okay, that snapped me from my thoughts, "Yeah?" I had to reply.
"Can you tell me something about this Loki?" I have to lie.
"Uhhh, ever since you told me about Thor, I became curious and took some research. It turns out Thor is Loki's brother and he's the God of Mischief and Lies." I don't want to mention the other part, well I don't want my ass in trouble.
"So, they're related?"
"Yeah, I guess. Probably his jealousy to his older brother made him do this so, yeah." I was done reading the file so I gave it back to him.
"Director?" The Pilot took Nick's attention, "We will arrive in about an hour." An hour? Where is this helicarrier? I'm actually getting excited for this.
~One hour later~
"Amelia, Amelia, Amelia!" I fluttered my eyes open as I caught Nick shaking my shoulder like a toddler shaking his teddy bear. And he has a firm grip too.
My eyes opened to the little ol' jet, and that made me realized we have arrived. "How long was I asleep?" Nick gave me a look and he replies, "Amy, you were only asleep for 30 minutes."
Wowwww. Thirty flipping minutes?! All I remembered was I was staring out of the window, oh wait. "Oh. Well my mom died so I didn't have enough sleep."
He laughed, okay did he catch the sarcasm? "Seriously? I was sarcastic."
Then he got back to his stern look, "Amelia, here in this base or any other ones out there, as soon as you arrive, we must be serious about this," then he started knocking my head like my head is a coconut, "remember, war?"
Well. Alright, I'll try getting serious, but probably not. "Okay, I'll keep that in my mind," I said while I was rubbing my head, again does he think my head is a coconut?!
"You better be, or I would've brought you to this mission for nothing," okay, kinda harsh. "C'mon, lets get going."
So, I stood up and we started heading out the jet through the door. Then this woman, I am guessing Agent Maria Hill, Nick's right hand man or woman, greeted us. "Director Fury, the Avengers, not including Tony Stark for the moment, will be arriving in an hour. And all preparations for their visit and this mission are underway," okay, nice to meet you too? Then she asked, "and I believe this is Amelia Vale?" Oh, ha ha never mind.
"Hello, and I presume you're Agent Maria Hill?" We shook hands, and I can spot Nick smiling, she answered back, "Yes ma'am, and I am hoping that you are prepared for this mission as you are incredibly lucky."
"Amelia, she is right. It's not like everyday that you fight with these types of people, people similar to you." He started walking away as me and Agent Hill trailed behind. He added, "Well, we are thinking of adding you to Phase 2, where two other people are also added in to the Avengers."
I am mesmerized because I finally set foot on S.H.I.E.L.D. And what did he just say? "Wait, who are the other two?"
"They're Agents Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton, but as you know, Agent Barton is currently compromised."
Oh yeah, Loki thing.
"Wait, what do you mean of adding me in?" My head was spinning with images of me technically kicking ass. Ha ha, I imagine with Agent Vale and those suits, not tights!
"Amelia, since you have these abilities, and you said you have experienced combat," honestly, really harsh combat, "I believe why not try out?" Sir, these people are probably way better than me, but why give me a try out? What is this, cheer team?
"Anyways, lets get in." I want to see this real bad. It's S.H.I.E.L.D!
"Alrighty, then." Maria answered as she stood beside Nick, and I heard her whisper, "Is she related to the Elizabeth Echard and Chris Vale?" You bet I am, sister. I feel like a legacy, just saying.
~Steve's POV~
"So this Dr. Banner was trying to recreate the serum that you put on me?" I asked Agent Coulson, who was reminded that we are about 40 minutes from home base, walked over to where I am seating. Really good on what they did to this 'plane'.
He replied, "A lot of people were, you were the world's first superhero." I guess I would say that is memorable, but I hardly would know anyone that still remember Captain America. "And I thought gama radiation migt hold the key to unlock its original formula." I kept reading this digital, transparent screen-looking thing, where it held Dr. Banner's contents to his profile. He is known as The Hulk, somehow intimidating when I watch the footage that shows of how he, um frantically fights.
"It didn't really go his way, did it?" In order to be out of control, harder to make his rage cooperate, he obviously failed.
"Not so much, but its not that thing though, the guy is like Stephen Hawking," sorry, who? Hello? Man out of time here? I looked up, showing that I have no idea who he's talking about.
"He's like a-a very smart person." Oh, like Albert Einstein, and Dr. Eskrine. I guess I will look him up in the 'Internet', that is, if I know how to.
"I gotta say, its an honor to meet you, officially," I smiled, at least there's a fan. Somehow The Star Spangled Man with a Plan just popped in my head, "I've sort of met you, I mean I watched you while you were sleeping." That thought sounded disturbing, he sounded reluctant and nervous to tell how much he idolizes Captain America, "I mean, I- I was present while you were unconscious, from the ice." I stood up from my seat and started heading my way to the pilot, Coulson continued, "You know, its just an honor to have you on board."
"Well I hope I'm the man for the job," all this technology is fascinating, but intimidating. I obviously have some catching up to do.
Coulson kept on praising, "Oh you are, absolutely," he checked the progress of the ride, "We've made some modifications for the uniform, I've had a little design input."
Whoa, my uniform? "Uniform? Aren't the stars and stripes are a little, uh old fashioned?" Thanks, it kinda made me feel much older.
"Everything that's happening, things that are about to come to like," he paused, "people might just need a little old fashion." I honestly agree.
~Amelia's POV~
"We are saving the best for last," Nick said this as we stopped in front of a room that labels Memorable Agents. Nick and Maria gave me a tour of the helicarrier, obviously she is managing the place at the same time, almost multitasking. I've seen my room, where I placed all of my stuff for the moment, then Nick and I decided this will be the last spot.
"Huh, is this like Hall of Fame or something?" He laughed, I guess I was close, or accurate, or both.
"Something like that," then he opened the door, ladies first. At least he's an old gentleman. As soon as I entered, numerous pictures of agents, framed and named, where scaling top to bottom the walls of the room. The room is shaped like a basic hexagon, leaving at least two and a half wall space for other people in the mere future. Its kinda creepy, because when you think about it, its like the eyes of the people in the pictures are just staring at you. But overall, I think this really brought out the effort and the agents' dedication to S.H.I.E.L.D. This room presented the respect and honor to these agents as well.
"All of these are pictures of agents that have retired or passed from doing their hard work for this organization," I then stopped at two pictures, that are sided together. My eyes started getting watery, "Those people, they look familiar."
The frames were labeled their names, as Agent Chris Vale and Agent Elizabeth Echard.
"They certainly do, and they deserve to be together on this wall too." Nick answers as my eyes are about to give up, I let the heat transport to evaporate the upcoming tears, uh yeah the pyrokinesis thing. He then added, "Amelia, their hard work and dedication makes up the honor and respect they deserve for serving their country and the people they love." I sniffled, but tears didn't fall from my face.
"Nick, thank you." I turned around, then I see him holding this, black, cardboard box. I took it from his hands and opened it. A ring, with a pale pink gem rested on top, is shown as I open the box. I recognized the ring.
"I remember, this," I sniffled again, he gave me a concerning look, "mom gave it to me for Project 45. It meant-"
"Your mom gave it to you so your powers are heighten and it can give you the ability to teleport," yeah but she needed it back so I would not misuse this, he continued, "She used this spell book that she was able to cast the necessary spells to create and form this ring. Once you wore that, it had not just made Project 45 successful, but it also made you learn more about yourself." He's right, my mom did have the spell book, so she's sort of a sorceress. She handed it to me as my graduation gift, but I honestly haven't deciphered the text written in the book. Mom reminded me that her mom passed it down to her, so grandma was practically passing it down for generations. I decided to slip the ring on my left ring finger, so it could represent that my mom died and had a chance to commit most of the time of raising me to teach me, love me as her daughter, and protect me from any threats. Also, I think that's the finger that the ring should be used, I think, I guess that's what mom told me during Project 45.
"You sure that's a good idea? Because men would would be scared to ask you out or something," I laugh to the legit joke, "Nah, I won't mind. Nick, this," I raised the left hand, "is for mom." We looked back at each other and he nodded. I nodded back, lowering the hand. I mean, I really don't care on which finger I wear my rings at. Ha ha.
"Uh Director?" Maria suddenly popped her head out of the door, "They're here."
"Alright we'll be there." Nick replied immediately. Wait, they're here? Its time, finally. Avengers are finally assemble, I think.
