Cambridge, England

"That is all for today, you are dismissed." Professor H. Hart said, before turning his back to the already leaving students.

Ellie packed her messenger bag quickly and left her last class for the day. She bid the professor a good day and finally walked out. Sighing to herself, she began to walk to the small flat she was able to rent not far from the campus. Ellie was finally able to do the one thing she had looked forward to doing the whole week, going out with what little friends she had to celebrate their loneliness. Sadly, she was interrupted by her favorite classmate, Christopher A. Turing. With dirty blonde hair and piercing grey-blue eyes, he could make any girl swoon if he got to them.

"Ello Ellie, mind if I join you?" Christopher asked, cocky as always, a smirk on his face.

"Yes, I do mind. What do you want Christopher?" He was already dampening her mood.

"Since the year is almost ending, - " he started, but Ellie cut him off.

"It's February, Christopher, not June. And no, I will not attend the May Ball with you." His eyes widened slightly and his mouth dropped.

"How did you know I was going to ask you?"

"It's Valentine's Day, and you started your question with, 'Since the year is almost ending'. It's literally screaming, 'Go to the May Ball with me'!"

"Dear God, why do I have to be attracted to you?" Ellie rolled her eyes. Christopher continued. "So how about today then? Got any plans? How about dinner with me?"

"No, no thank you Christopher ; I'd rather not. Besides, I already have plans with - " she was cut off by an unfamiliar voice.

"Me." Both students turned around to see a dark-skinned, well-built man in a black trench coat, with a black patch over his left eye. Ellie and Christopher were both stunned and silent.

"I believe we have a meeting, Miss Pym. You are dismissed, Mr. Turing." Without a second thought, Christopher left with wide eyes. 

"I go by my mother's surname, not Hank's."

"Alright then, Miss Pym, care to take a walk with me?" She was hesitant, but decided to humor herself and see what this man wanted.

"Are you aware of an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D.?" She laughed.

"No, not that I can remember. Your point being?"

"Your parents worked for them, for me."

"And why should I believe you?" The man pulled a picture out of his trench coat, handing it to Ellie. The picture indeed was of her parents, but, it included her as a small child, as well as other adults she didn't recognize.

"This was at your third birthday party. It was held at S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters before we built our helicarrier." Ellie looked closely at the photo, noticing a dark man wearing similar clothes, without an eyepatch and an eighties' haircut. In the background was a circular symbol on a wall, and within it was a bird of prey.

"Is that - " she was about to ask.

"Yes, that's me. Am I believable now?" 12% believable.

"Who was my mother's favorite country singer?"

"Your mother hated country, and you know that. Her favorite artist is Blue Suede. Now are you convinced?" The man said, in a matter-o-factly manner.

"Do I get to know your name?"

"No."

"An occupation?"

"Not yet." She was 100% convinced. He was too professional and curt with her. Well, maybe not 100%, but she was convinced enough.

"So why do you want me then?"

"I'm recruiting you, Miss Pym. I thought it would be obvious." Ellie rolled her eyes.

"I'm attending Cambridge and aiming for a doctorate, if you haven't noticed that. So I can't just drop everything."

"I'm not asking you, Miss Pym." The man stopped and turned around to face her, making Ellie stop as well. They were somehow at her apartment building. He continued. "Go pack all of your things now, I've already made arrangements for you."

"Education?" She inquired.

"A doctorate in Physical Science." Ellie was astonished.

"I prefer to earn my status."

"And you also prefer to have your own choices, but that's not happening today. You either come with me, or I sadly have to force you."

Ellie was packed in less than twenty minutes, with two suitcases, and duffle bag, and a backpack. She walked out of the building to find the man with a black car, waiting for her.

So nonchalant.

"This, Miss Pym, is your new beginning." Two other men dressed in matching suits ( so not stereotypical ) took everything but her pack and placed it in the back of the SUV. The man opened the door.

"I'm Director Nick Fury, head of S.H.I.E.L.D. Welcome."

What the hell have I gotten myself into?

So there's the prologue! I'm sorry it's short and crap, but hey, it's the beginning of something. She'll meet Scott soon, don't worry, just be patient, it's a virtue.

As always, got, comment, and share!
