Welcome To Marvel/ It's A War

Chapter 13: Mission

Courtney's POV

"I don't like him."

"You don't have to like him in order to work with him." Fury said.

"His whole story seems sketchy." I said, watching as the mentioned man talked to one of the agents.

"Everything is sketchy. Giant elemental monsters and a guy from another dimension? But we've seen worse things than this." He said.

I glanced at him sideways, "The way Steve described you, I would have thought you'd be even more skeptical than me. How desperate are you?"

"The world is about to implode, I'd rather not die."

"Hmph."

I walked over to Quentin Beck, the so called man from another dimension. Fury filled me in, but I hadn't actually spoken to him yet.

He turned and looked at me, before taking off his fish bowl helmet.

"You must be Courtney. I've been told about you." He greeted and stuck his hand out.

I shook it, "All good things I hope."

"Did Fury tell you about everything?" He asked.

"Indeed. It's a pretty wild history you have." I told him.

"Yours as well." He replied.

"Well, Mr. Beck, why don't you show me what you can do?" I asked.

He scratched the back of his head nervously, "Call me Quentin. We work together now."

"Only for as long as this crisis lasts. I'll have places to go and people to see after this." I informed him.

"Sure you do." Fury scoffed as he walked behind us towards a door.

I turned around and glared before looking back at Beck. He did a spectacular job of changing the subject.

"So, you want to demonstrate what you can do? It might be useful in the field." I told him.

"Of course, but we'll have to do it outside and I don't think Fury wants me leaving right now." He explained.

"Hmph."

I walked over to a chair and sat down, consuming myself in my thoughts. Maybe after we kill these things, I can hang out with M.J. and possibly even her friends.

I sighed and fiddled with my knife until Fury finally walked in, a familiar figure behind him.

I sat quietly and spun the knife in my hands as Fury introduced everyone.

"Over there we have Maria Hill, and that is Dimitri." Fury nodded towards Quentin, "And that is Quentin Beck."

"Mysterio?" Peter asked.

"Huh?"

"Uh, it doesn't matter, thats just what my friends call you." Peter hurried explained.

"Well, you can call me Quentin." The newer hero said.

Both of them shook hands for a moment.

Fury turned around and spotted me in his chair.

"I thought you would have ran off by now." He said quietly.

"Yeah, I'll save that for later." I told him.

He huffed and turned around, interrupting Peter and Quentin.
