Moody Fire

Chapter 2

Chapter 2: day in the life of a no one

I was happy in shield. I was introduced to many of the staff in the Helicarrier. I took a liking to Fury, he was a kind man with a big heart. But his heart was one made of steel. I was lucky that Fury seemed to be able to tolerate my behavior. I was a trouble maker. I would pull pranks on him and hang around with him as I was introduced to the Shield life. I am learning where my part is in all of this mess. I had a test today, one for my powers and one for my knowledge. I was escorted to a room with no windows and one light, one desk and one chair. Fury stood behind me as I looked at the door. Breathing in and out my skin started to prickle like it always does.

"You'll do fine" he said

"You don't know that" I comment. I feel his stare on my back.

"I do, I believe in you Artemis, stop being a pussy"

chuckling a bit I say, "Thanks director" straightening my back and grab the door handle. Twisting and pushing I slip into the room. Taking a deep breath I saunter over to the desk plopping down in the chair. Buzzing comes from the speakers sitting in the corner of the wall. A voice comes through,

"Good evening this is Agent Hill I will be conducting your test this afternoon" I nod.

"I am going to start you on the paper portion, now their is a couple questions answer them as best as you can. Raise your hand when your done and I will collect you for the next portion of this test" I nod again.

"Are you ready" I nod

"I need verbal confron-"

"Yes" I cut in

"Alright good luck"

I turn the paper over. A pencil next to the paper starts to roll off the desk, I catch it before it falls. I look to the first question. 'What is your full name', easy. 'Artemis Lif Rotoris' I look for other questions but find 1 other question, 'What/why are you here (for)' Tilting my head I continue to look at it. I place the pencil on the paper and let the led in the pencil trace across the paper; creating words and sentences as it goes. 'Because I was finally wanted'

(Pausehere for dramatic effect)

I raise me hand and wait.

"Good" came Hill voice. "Now place the paper upside down and put the pencil on top" I follow instructions.

"I will now open the door, please come out when it does open" I wait and wait until the door creaked back open and I step through the threshold.

"Good afternoon, please follow me" The women I guess was Agent Hill said and started down the hall. A few turns later we ended up at a room with glass windows and mats covering the floor.

"This is the training room please step in and prepare for the next portion, you have 5 minutes" she pushes me in gentle and closes the door.

1 minute:

I look around the room taking in my surroundings. I took one self defense class and that is about my only training. I find a comfy spot next to the wall. THe room was all white with one giant window lining the back wall.

Spreading my legs into a butterfly position in front of my body and start to stretch. I dont want to pull anything.

3 minutes:

I am still stretching by now, I am in a jazz split leaning back and forth stretching my hips and ham strings. I stretch slowly making sure to hit all areas of my body. I make my way into a split on left and right. My body feeling warm I start to try and summon my powers.
