Enchanted

Chapter 16

Louise's POV
Daisy poured a whole vase-full of cold water onto Romanoff's head, and she woke up, gasping for breath. 

"Who are you?" We ungagged them at the same time, and they had the same question. 

"Daisy Johnson, and Louise."

"No last name?"

"Probably."

"That girl is good. Svo-lach." Romanoff cursed in a foreign language, somehow I knew how to understand the words and what it means. It was a Russian curse. But how...

"Don't call us a jerk or a piece of scum. We're here to recruit you for a mission. Alien invasion."

"Nat, be polite to them, please? They want to help."

"By the looks of them taking down me, they don't want to help."

"How do you know? Just hear them out. And mind your language."

"This crap again." She said, and looked at me. 

"Nice fighting skills that you've got there."

"Thanks, but just hear Daisy out."

"We have an alien invasion incident in downtown Manhattan, and we need your help, Mr and Mrs Smith, what's your expertise, Rushman, Rogers?"

"Actually, it's Romanoff." I added, to Daisy, and she flushed. 

"Romanoff and Rogers then."

"We can fight. Nat here is a Black Widow and I'm Captain America. The one also known as 'America's Ass'?"

"Ah. I see. What's a Black Widow?" Daisy asked, and somehow I knew the answer to that, just as my brain was programmed to pick up Russian words and its meanings. I was a step closer to unlocking my true self. 

"A Black Widow is a Russian spy asset. They go undercover in higher and lower branches of governments. They're trained as a kid."

"Yes. I was about to say the same. How did you know?"

"I'm not sure, but I understand Russian pretty well, as if it just occurs to me naturally. And now I suspect that I..."

"Might be a widow?"

"Yeah, probably."

"What do I have to do to help?" Rogers asked. 

"Rogers, you sign this non-disclosure form with Romanoff, Rushman, whatever, and we can get going." Daisy said lamely.

"Just sign the damn thing." I said, and handed them a pen. 

"What do you guys do then?" Rogers asked while signing the papers and sliding them over to Romanoff.

"We work for a secret government agency that no one knows about, and we're special."

"How special?"

"Dude, don't ignore me, this one knocked me unconscious without touching me."

"That's special." He said, shrugging at me, and Romanoff handed me back the pieces of papers, which I transferred to Daisy.

"Welcome to SHIELD, level 1." 

Mack's POV
Daisy was not back for a long time. I had her go and find a family and it seemed lik teh hardest thing to do in her own life. 

"Sorry for being late. Someone was being uncooperative." She said, and the two people walked out from the Quinjet. 

"Also, we haven't been able to locate Louise all day, where is she?"

"Right here, sir." I heard someone say, and it came from the Quinjet. Louise had tagged along Daisy for a joyride.
