The Girl with the Blackbird Tattoo

-1-

My name is Danrelle Hoyt, meaning: hidden mind. It took a while to learn exactly why, but once I had, my life was never the same. I discovered I had a gift, that of magic of the mind, and to hide, after all I have always been invisible in my birth realm Asgard, and my new home Midgard, it didn't even change when I got an important job, a SHIELD agent. We eliminate threats to the world that's others don't know about, I was one of the top in my rank, and yet still rarely spoken to. Orphaned to a forest of Asgard, I didn't need anyone to survive, especially on Midgard. Still, I get up and work everyday, ready for anything the day would throw our way. After all, if an undercover asgardian woman who is hundreds of years old can't handle small work like this, then what will she do?

*Beep beep beep*
I slammed my hand onto my alarm and sat up, every day it was the same and I was good at it, get up, get dressed and leave. I got my keys and left after throwing on my usual work uniform.

Upon my arrival, I realised work was a little more, no, a lot more active than normal, then Nick Fury's voice came through the speakers. "All agents report to the main hall immediately." I watched as everyone, bar those on monitoring shifts, made their way out. I followed near the front, my position being close to the hall. When we arrived, Fury walked onto the main stage, stopping in the centre and looking out at us. "Agents, we have been attacked, our research base was swallowed by something called the tesseract," he spoke slowly, showing images on the board, proceeding to explain some other things, my attention wavering, until the word 'Asgard' was spoken. "The invader was from another realm, Asgard, his name is Loki and he is highly dangerous so I need clever and strong agents with me on this. We will be going forward with the avengers program, thank you for your time, sign up desks are near the door," Nick finished and I couldn't believe it, an asgardian was coming.

I walked over to the desk and they asked my name, "Danrelle Hoyt," I told him.

"Any skills particularly helpful?" He asked.

"I have previous experience with Asgardians, special skills include: stealth, close combat and covert intelligence," I reported.

"Thank you, results will be sent out to your phones this afternoon," he informed, and I walked away.

About an hour later, my phone buzzed in my pocket, and I pulled it out, brow creasing as I read the message from Fury himself, "Agent Hoyt, report to my office immediately." I sighed, leaving my monitor and making may way through the corridors, until I stopped outside his office, and knocked on his door. I waited for the response, before entering the room. "You asked for me, Sir?" I asked, walking In and taking a seat.

"I want to talk to you about your application to help with the current situation," he began, "you stated you have had experience with Asgardians in the past, what exactly do you mean?" He questioned.

"I can't disclose that informa..."

"Hoyt, our world is at stake. This is not the time for whatever secret you're holding back."

"Right, I apologise," I paused, taking a deep breath, before meeting his eyes, "I am Danrelle Hoyt..."

"I asked for information, not an introduction, agent."

"I am Danrelle Hoyt, of Asgard."

When I didn't falter, he leant forwards, "and how am I meant to believe you?" He gave me a look that said prove it. So I stood up and disappeared into the shadow in the corner of the room, "sir, think of a word, any word," I asked him he nodded, "you're thinking of the word 'threat' aren't you?" I asked coming out from my corner revealing my glowing silver eyes, "I assure you, I am nothing of the sort."

"Okay, you've convinced me, for now. So here's the deal, you will accompany our team as a main agent, and due to your, heritage, may take part in the field. Be ready to leave tomorrow, 6.30, oh, and bring a new uniform to see you through the task." He ordered.
