Chapter 2 

The Woman

     *Beep! Beep!*
     I rolled over and hit the snooze button. My kitten ran over and head butted my cheek as if to say, "Get up and love me lazy pants! LOOOVE ME!" I sat up rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Good morning Bubba," I said giving him a kiss on the head. He started to pur as I scratched behind his ears.
     "Ahem."
     I looked up. Standing at the foot of my bed was a strange woman. She had dark red hair and light skin. She was very pretty. I ran my fingers through my hair. I was a little embarrased. I must look terrible. Bed head rarely looks good on anyone. "Who are you and what are you doing in my room?" I asked her. The woman came closer and Bubba hissed. He burrowed under my blanket trying to hide. "Your cat doesn't seem to like me," the woman said, glancing at the lump moving around under the covers. I rolled my eyes, "Why would he? You just showed up in my bedroom. Didn't anyone ever teach you to knock?" The red head just smirked.
     "My name is Natasha Romanoff. I work for S.H.I.E.L.D." she said handing my a file. She opened it and pointed to a picture of a glowing blue cube. "That is the tessaract. It has recently fallen into the hands of Loki. We are gathering a team of 'special' people. We want you to come help us take the tessaract back before Loki does something really bad."
     "So.... You're not a rapist?" I asked. 
     Now it was Natasha's turn to roll her eyes. "No, I am not a rapist." I let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. I thought my poor kitty was in trouble! Now Ms.... whatever.... You better run along. I don't want any part of your 'team'. I'm sure that whatever that dude took from you wasn't that important. Why don't you just buy another one on ebay instead of wasting your time sneaking into people's apartments and giving their kittens heart attacks!"
     "So.... You aren't going to come willingly?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "You got it," I replied. She shrugged,"Have it your way." Then she opened my bedroom door and said something I didn't understand. Next thing I knew, ten guys with guns had me and Bubba surrounded. I looked around. Unless I felt like jumping out the window and breaking my neck there was no escape. "Well when you put it that way how could I say no? Come on Bubba we're going on an adventure!" I announced, grabbing Bubba and jumping out of bed.
     I shooed the men out of my room promising not to take long. I brushed my hair. Straight and jet black. I made a face at myself in the mirror. Why can't I have pretty hair like that Natasha lady? I pulled on jeans and my favorite AC/DC shirt. Bubba climbed into my sock drawer and pushed a pair of socks out. Smart kitty. I pet Bubba's head and took him out of the drawer. Then I put my sneakers on and packed our stuff. "Ready Bubba?" I asked him. He meowed a yes and we left.
