"I want to go back to the time you first told me your name."
Rhiley, the twin sister of Howard Stark, finds herself wrapped up with the one and only James Barnes. The next time she sees him is on her new assignment with the 107th Infantry Regiment...
Rhiley rubbed at the bandage on her arm where they had taken blood and followed Phil down a long wide hallway. This was a different building than before, located on the outskirts of New York. It reminded her of a military base just bigger and more modern. "New recruits usually will start out in training, gearing them up to relocate them within S.H.I.E.L.D where they'll be the best fit."
"I'm assuming not every new recruit makes it into S.H.I.E.L.D's ranks?"
"We take the best of the best," Phil explained, "Then from there we only take the best."
"Very best." Rhiley nodded. They entered a large corridor. A large number of people had begun to crowd around the lobby. "This outfit makes sense now." She says pulling at the tight fabric that compressed against her skin in all black.
"Director Fury wants me to keep an eye on you while not giving you special treatment."
"You don't seem like the type to give someone special treatment anyways." Rhiley shrugged, she's been awake for about a week and a half now and she spent her days with Phil as he taught her the ways of the 21st century. She still couldn't get used to the technology though. "Why do I feel like I'm getting dropped off on my first day of school?"
"Technically, that's kinda what this is."
"I dropped out of school."
Phil nodded his head not expecting this answer, "We'll meet in my office at the end of the day."
"Sounds good, dad," Rhiley mocked. The more Phil got to know Rhiley the more she seemed to be a Stark and that was without the blood test.
Phil was the only person Rhiley had gotten to know so far at S.H.I.E.L.D., the only person she felt comfortable around at this point. So now, as she stood on the outskirts of the crowd. She couldn't help but feel small and she's never once felt small before in her life. Not until she met the man that ruined her entire life.
"Listen up! My name is Maria Hill." A woman introduced herself. She climbed up the stairs to the stage that had been set up in the middle of the room. "Today marks the first day in a three-month course. We'll identify your weaknesses and your strengths. We'll break you in order to build trust, you do not become a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent overnight and you do not become a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent at all if you do not meet the qualifications. Now, we don't have time for a meet and greet. You can do that in your free time. Instead, we're jumping right in. Meet on the ropes course in ten." and just like that, Maria hill had disappeared down the flight of stairs.
"My brother told me what to expect," A voice interrupts the silence. "But I think he downplayed this entire thing." The voice belonged to a woman a bit shorter than Rhiley, two black french braids trickled down each of her shoulders, "I'm Olivia Lynn by the way."

"Rhiley."
"Do you want to walk to the course together?" Olivia asked, gesturing to the other trainees heading down the hallway. Rhiley only nods, they were gonna head in the same direction anyways. "Where are you from?"
