Spidergirl - New Origins

Chapter 11 - Fury's Offer

I'm in the building of S.H.I.E.L.D, where Fury left me alone for a while and said he'd be back soon. It's actually pretty cool here, they've got their own ice cream machine and they give away mini perfumes to their visitors (I chose strawberry hehe). Anyway, I still have no idea what Fury wants from me. There are a bunch of agents here walking around and they all have looked at me at least once, am I that charming or what? Haha.
Finally, Fury joins me at the table.

"So, Ms. Bennett, how do you like it here so far?" He is actually smiling, which you never see often.

"Not bad actually, but your agents are staring at me."

He laughs. "Haha, yeah. Don't mind them they're friendly. They're impressed by you. But be honest, the new building looks great, doesn't it?"

"Yeah it's really modern and fancy." Does he seriously want to talk about a building now?

"That's what I thought too. But next time we might be talking inside the Stark Tower, if you prove yourself ready.

My eyes widen. "Really, the Stark Tower? Man that would be amazing! But ready for what?"

"That's why I brought you here. I am awarding you for saving the city, that was very brave of you. You put yourself out there even though you weren't ready. If you keep that up, you can join the Avengers. "

Wait, didn't the Avengers want me to be in their team already? I'm confused. "But am I not an Avenger already?"

"Oh, no. The Avengers want you in their team, but you're not an official member yet, you're just 15. Sorry if that wasn't clear."

"Oh, yeah that explains why they haven't reached out yet." Hopefully I will make it one day, it's my biggest dream.

He gasps."I would have made you a junior Avenger alredy if you had defeated that guy by yourself, but you had help from an officer. You're will have to do better if you want to join them, and I have the perfect offer for that."

Oh, I hope it's not too dangerous because I just started. "And what would that be?"

"Our team is currently working on an illegal weapon trading case. Our weapon production center was damaged again due to Steward's little burnout yesterday. Like we had not enough to fix after the New York incident. Anyways, we believe that someone snuck in and stole a few dangerous weapons that don't draw too much attention. The people we suspect visit this High School *shows picture*.

Really, students? "And I suppose that's where I'm involved?"

"Correct. Your mission would be to pretend being a student there and spying on people or looking for hints."

"That doesn't seem hard." I'm kinda relieved that it's not some hardcore mission impossible thing, but if it was, I would still do it.

"Since you have already graduated from a much harder school, it should be no problem for you to keep up in class. And you will be in touch with us the whole time through an earplug. Do you accept?"

"Of course I accept, I will try my best."

He laughs in a friendly way then suddenly stops and makes a serious face. "Yeah, you better. Good thing that mission does not involve fighting, because that silly onesie suit of yours wouldn't last a minute."

"It's neither silly nor a onesie... and it lasted pretty good yesterday." Does it really look that bad? I mean, I put a lot of work in it.

"Alright, I bet for 20 dollars that your suit won't last longer than a month."

"I'm in." Maybe he is right and it won't last. Will I regret this?

Okay, come to the High School tomorrow at 8am. We will await you there.

"Okay, but what is the award?"

He lifts an eyebrow. "This is the award you dumbass. You are extremely lucky to work with us."

"Of course Mr. Fury, I am super thankful."

He nods. "That would be it for today, we'll see you tomorrow."

"Yes, I will be there I promise."

He shows me the way out and a chauffeur drives me back home.
