Request by Ghost_Guard_13: The reader is a SHIELD agent, but relatively new. On one of the Avengers (and Stephens) missions, some agents are called in to help. You, wanting to prove yourself and being very competitive, follow. You end up being a ton of help, but once the battle is over the leader of your division starts yelling at you in front of everyone in the middle of the field. You make some smart remarks, but that just makes them angrier. They bring a hand up to slap you, but someone STRANGE stops them.

Pairing: Stephen Strange x Agent!Reader

Warning(s): language, typical canon-type violence, screaming, yelling, power abuse (don't know what to call it), workplace disagreements, Stephen being a hero, kinda got turned into a misogynistic situation...oh well.

Lemme know if I missed any :)

Normally, you were never called in. You were a newbie at SHIELD, so your superior thought it would be better for you to wait on the sidelines and watch 'the big boys' play.

And you hated it.

You had proved to everyone at the academy that you had what it takes to be an agent--had what it takes to help protect the world. But noooo! Your team leader--being the righteous fucker he is--thought that the newbie had to practice and watch from the sidelines because she was a dainty, little woman.

So, when your group was called in as backup for the big leagues--for the Avengers--you were over the moon to prove the self-righteous bastard wrong.

That's how you found yourself here. In a meeting room, sitting beside Dr. Strange, listening to the debrief about some head of Hydra and how you were to defeat him.

"-That's when back-up comes in."

The Captain himself pointed in your direction; "While we focus on Schneider, you guys are to go in and take out any Hydra members. Try to only disarm and stun; some of those Hydra agents could be useful."

You nod enthusiastically; any mission with the Avengers is good experience in your opinion--no matter how little of a role you may play.

"If you manage to clear your area, find your closest Avenger and assist them in whatever they're doing. Our main goal is to acquire Schneider and his technology."

The Captain smiled, "That's it for today's debrief. See you all at the hanger at 0700 hours."

With that dismissal, everyone exited the room.

"L/n, a minute of your precious time."

You tensed at the voice but nodded your head nonetheless. Turning towards John, your team leader, you awaited for his lecture.

"You are not to go on this mission, do you understand?"

Your jaw dropped. "What? Our team has been specifically chosen to work with the Avengers, I am a member of that team."

He scoffed, "You're a woman, what role do you have on my team?"

You silently seethed. How dare he talk to you that way?

"If I see you anywhere near that hanger tomorrow morning, your pathetic career at SHIELD is over. Am I clear?"

You ground your teeth, choosing to rather endure the pain than risk destroying your career.

All you did was reluctantly nod your head.

John smiled, "Such a good girl." Then he left.

How you hadn't killed him yet was a mystery to you...but if he didn't fix his shit soon, he was going to be meeting an early grave.
