not proofread but I needed to get this out of my system

Rory, age six, walked out of her room and downstairs to see her mother asleep on the couch. She'd fallen asleep there the previous night, Rory assumed. The brunette then went upstairs and into her mother's office. Usually, she wasn't allowed in here, unless Sophia was with her and even then, she wasn't allowed to touch anything.
She snooped through some files, mostly jargon she didn't understand. One described a girl claiming she'd been a crystal for years. She was now living with Steve Rogers.
Another file got Rory's attention, one that read classified on it. But, that's not gonna stop her, cause she doesn't know what that means. She picked up the file and opened it, seeing the picture of a guy with brown hair and a cocky smile. She read through it.
His codename was Agent Azalea. She didn't know what an Azalea was, but it sounded cool. More details included two separate names; Jacob Alexander Middleton was labeled as his civilian identity. As for his actual super secret name, it was William Aleksander Zubenko, who was considered legally dead. Something about a plane crash.
She set the file down and then went downstairs to see her mother awake and in the kitchen. She didn't mention the file she'd read, she knew better than to.

Rory, now ten, sat in her father's soulless husk of a home, her half sister, Rachel, sitting across from her. Rachel, who threw a hissy fit when Rory looked at her skateboard the wrong way or something. Her father, Tony, sat at the end of the table. They were all completely silent.
And then in came a guy with brown hair, a cocky attitude and a pink feather boa for some goddamn reason.
He started talking up a storm and then sat diagonally across from Rory. She'd already recognized him, but she knew better than to say to a spy "oh yeah I know every single detail about you".
"So, you're my new little sister? What's your name?" He asked, smiling at her.
"Aurora, but everybody calls me Rory. Rory Wright."
"Aurora," He echoed. "That's a pretty name. I'm Jacob Middleton, but you can just call me Jake."
Yeah, this was the guy. And within five minutes of getting to know him, she learned he worked for Brookina's FBI equivalent, FLOWER, under the codename Agent Azalea.
Yeah, this was most certainly the guy.
But she knew better than to bring up William Zubenko.
