My Own Person

Prologue

Third Person POV
Eliza was sitting in the grass playing. When she looked up and saw her older brothers Grant was standing looking down into the well. "Ellie, can you get me the rope?" Grant asked. Ellie got up and walked over to him. Bringing the rope with her. There was crying and pleading coming from the well. She peaked over the edge of the well. Her other brother Thomas who was in the well.

"Ellie...Grant, .... help me please,... Grant!?" Thomas pleaded. Christian came over, and shoved the small girl to the side. "Not yet Grant," Grant did a double take between the well and his brother. "But he's-," Christian cut him off. "Not yet. Throw the rope to him and I'll throw you and that little brat in there too," Christian threatened. He walked away leaving Grant to look over the edge.

Ellie tip-toed back over to Grant who wrapped an arm around her shoulder. After a few minutes Grant looked around to make sure Christian wasn't anywhere nearby. He took his arm away from Ellie and quickly lowered the rope to Thomas pulling him out..

Thomas came over the edge still sputtering. Once he was firmly on the ground. I threw myself into him. Hugging him tightly. Thomas wrapped his arms around her. But he looked up at Grant. "Why didn't you pull me out earlier," he said as he broke into a coughing fit. One arm still around Ellie. "Christian," Grant replied. Thomas shook his head but took Ellie's hand and took her inside.

Thomas helped Ellie into dry clothes and told her to go find something to eat when he cleaned up. Ellie went to the dining room to find a cake sitting on the counter. Ellie looked around finding no one she swiped a finger through the icing. Licking it off she turned around to find Christian glaring at her. "You're going to regret that brat," he stalked toward her. She shrunk back away from him. Christian grabbed her by the hair and dragged her to her room. He started slapping and punching her. Till she was wailing at the top of her lungs. Laying on the floor of her room in pain. Christian got one last kick in before he was satisfied and left.

Grant and Thomas came rushing in and picked her rup. Holding her close he comforted her. "It hurts Tom," She whimpered "Shhh. I know. I know," he whispered. "What did you do to upset him like the El," Grant asked dme squatting in front of her and Thomas "I-I licked some icing form h-his cake off my finger," she hiccuped.

6 Years later

Ellie or as she prefers Eliza walked out of her room because she smelled smoke. There was fire licking up the walls in the hall. Eliza's eyes got big as she started to panic. Running back into her room she scrambled to open the window. She was so scared that she fumbled with the lock on the window. Finally she got the window open but the fire was in her room now. She jumped dout the window even though it was on the second story. She landed in a pile of smoking brush that's she hadn't seen. She cried out from the burn, and scrambled as quickly as possible off of the pile.of burning brush. Once she was clear she collapsed onto the cool grass. Passing out from the smoke inhalation.

She woke up to paramedics putting an oxygen mask over her nose and mouth. She felt no pain like she was numb. Thomas came into her peripheral vision. "Hey Ellie," she lifted her arm in a wave as much as the bandages allowed. "You have severe second degree burns all along your back side of your body," he whispered. "Grant came back from the academy mom and dad sent him to and set fire to the house. Christian has had him arrested and their going to put him in court. Possibly in prison," he explained. Eliza whispered tears forming in her eyes. She still cared about Grant the. But that was then.

4 years later

After the fire that killed their parents. Grant was sent to prison for arson and attempted murder on Eliza and Thomas.

Eliza haven't spoken to him since. She has recovered. Only with a couple of burn scars along her thighs. Plus the trauma from the whole situation.

She applied and has been accepted into SHIELDs operation academy.

Eliza walked down the steps of her foster home. Turning back to wave a good bye to her foster family. They were never abusive just neglectful.

Making her way to the car that's waiting for her. A man in a suit is waiting by the door. "Mrs. Ward?" Eliza nodded holding a duffel with all her worldy positions. The Man attempted to help Eliza with her luggage. But she shook her head when he asked.

"Would you like to ride up front with me or in the back seat?" He asked Eliza "Urm... Front if you don't mind," she replied. He nodded and opened the door for me. Eliza smiled gratefully "Thank you.....?" She raised an eyebrow in question  "Agent James Watson Clearance level 5 at your service ma'am," he said grinning. Going around he got into the driver's seat.

"So what academy are you going into?" James asked Eliza. "Operations of course," she answered. "Oof. That's going to be a tough one," Eliza grinned and nodded. "I know. And that's the fun of it," she said.

When they got to the academy. There was a Asian women waiting on Eliza. "Hello Ms. Ward. I'm Agent May. I'll be your S.O. or supervising officer. If you will please follow me," Eliza followed the women without question.

They wound around multiple hallways and up staircases and elevators till they got to a hall with doors lining it. "This is dorm hall Alpha, this will be your dorm," she said walking up to a door labeled 15. "Your roommate is already here. I will let you get settled. I will come get you at 13:00," Eliza nodded. May handed her a key card. "This is you"re key," Eliza took it and turned to the door as May walked away.

Eliza opened the door. There was a full bathroom in a small foyer. Leading from the foyer were two doors on either side. The left door has a W on it. The right had a M.

Eliza turned into the room with a W. The room was small but nice. There was a twin bed in the corner a shelf above it. There was also a desk beside that. Closet opposite the bed with drawers lining one side of the closet. There was already a couple of academy issued clothes in the drawers. Eliza set to work emptying her one duffel. Setting up books and pictures.

Eliza glanced behind her when she heard the door opposite her open. A tall woman with horny blonde hair came out. "Oh hi," She said. "Hi?" Eliza turned around fully to face the new person. "Barbara Morse. But you can call me Bobbi," she said. Eliza smiled "I'm Elizabeth but most ppl call me Eliza," Bobbi held out her hand to shake "Nice to meet you Liza," Eliza rolled her eyes. "Are you the type to give a nickname to everyone?" Bobbi grinned devilishly "Maybe,"
