Chapter 39: Whoever I am, I am Not a Slut!

"I'm sorry, just one more time so I can make it my ringtone."

"Welcome to SHIELD, Special Agent Viper." Fury says for the third time. "Care to test your luck and ask again?"

"Uh, no, sir?" I say not really knowing how to act, being an agent of SHIELD. "Is there anything else... sir?" I ask again.

"I'll be in contact with you and the rest of the Avengers."

"Okie dokie, sir, does that mean I can go... sir?"

"Yes... agent." I can't help by smile as I exit. I close the door and lean my back against it, my hand flying up to cover my growing smile. God, why does this have me so giddy? It can't be because I'm an "agent" now. Oh, but I sure am hapy Peter didn't tell me. Peter! I can go on missions with him, and everyone now! I'm no longer a criminal, I mean I am, you can't just say backsies on the shit I've done. But now I have the chance to prove I can do good. Okay, I gotta let this out.

"Whoooo!" I howl down the hallway still smiling. And that's when I'm brought back my senses by... applause? I whip around, eyes wide, like a deer caught in headlights, to see 7 of my, now, colleagues clapping. I blush slightly, knowing that they saw my little episode. Oh screw it, I'm happy.

"So, you glad I kept it a secret?" Peter asks. Like I said, screw senses, screw it all. And with that in mind, I don't hesitate to sprint down the hall and jump on Peter. He stumbles at first, but does catch me, his arms wrapping around me and mine around his neck in a secure embrace.

"Very, Tigre. Very." I say with the utmost joy and love in my voice.

He laughs, his chest rumbling, before setting me down, saying "Good." We unwrap ourselves from each other, but I only move my hands to the side of his face.

"Thank you, Peter." I say, my accent coming through. I rub my thumb over his left cheek before giving him a big ol' smooch, first there, and then on his right cheek, and ending my show of thanks with another hug. As I draw back I see a pink tinge to his cheeks, but I also see Tony about to open his mouth, but quickly decides against it as Natasha death glares him. I face everyone and see... smiles, which of course makes me smile in return. I lean over to Thor and nudge him with my elbow. "Hey, I'm an agent now." Everyone chuckles and Thor wraps one of his behemoth arms around me. "Indeed Lady Jade, which is means for celebration!" He says in his booming voice. I laugh enveloping my arms around his torso.

"And I already have the perfect plan." Tony says. Tony turns on his heel and everyone follows as we navigate back through the Triskelion. Thor rubs my back once before letting go and following Bruce, Natasha, Clint and Peter then go and I'm about to join Peter, but notice Steve still behind me.

"You coming?" I ask turning around. It seems as though Steve was in a daze, because when he looks at me he has to blink a few times before answering.

"Uh, yeah." He says nodding and stepping forward. He keeps his hands in his pockets, looking down, as we walk behind everyone.

"Hey, be happy Mr. Tight Pants. I'm an agent now." I say nudging him with my shoulder.

He chuckles and says, "I am happy."

"Good. Now come on, I don't think can handle any more death glares." I say pulling him into a jog to catch up with everyone else. After the, again, longer than expected car ride back to the tower, I hop out of Tony's car to see Thor landing on the balcony. I run inside, still giddy, so I can tell the Fantastic Four, even though they probably already know. I run into the elevator, not waiting fr the others to join me. "Jarvis, where are the Fantastic Four?" I ask.
