**The song is Trying to be Cool by Phoenix. I could kind of imagine this song playing while Andromeda is training or something like that. The image is Andromeda's Armor, just imagine her with wings.**

Recap:

"Coulson!" Fury barked after a moment of silence, "Take S.H.I.E.L.D's newest recruit to her room and get her changed into a uniform. She better be ready by next week for her first mission."

"Yes sir." Son of Coul said without a second guess. I turned and saw him walk up to me,

"Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. Andromeda Umbreon."

Wait.

"What?!"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I stare flabbergasted at the man in front of me. He can't possibly want me to be a part of this operation! I mean sure, I guess I pack a pretty mean punch but I can be pretty impulsive when it comes to protecting my friends. I still feel responsible for destroying that elevator even though it was an accident...

"Sir, I don't exactly understand what you want of me"  I said trying hard not to sound rude.

"You see Andromeda, S.H.I.E.L.D. specialises in not only protecting the citizens of the world but we also have some pretty cool ass-kicking agents and you're going to be come one of them!" Son of Coul has a wide smile on his face, to be honest it is kind of creeping me out. I look over to Steve to find him staring at Coulson with an unsure expression.

"If Fury thinks that you have potential to help out S.H.I.E.L.D then you must really be special." Coulson says with a dazed look in his eye, I'm about to respond when I feel myself get dragged out of my seat by my hand. I look back at Steve and mouth the word 'help', he only chuckles in response.

"Bye Agent Coulson! I'll meet up with you later Andromeda before I head back to Brooklyn." with that I see Steve turn and walk down a different hallway. I begin to feelmyself get tugged again and I continue down the hallway following Coulson.

"If you don't mind me asking Andromeda, but what exactly can you do?" I see him glance over his shoulder to me. My eyes slightly widen at this question. I have never really thought of that before...

"Umm",I move my arm to rub my neck as I smile sheepishly, "I'm not entirly sure. I have always been good at hand to hand combat, I can fight very well in my armour along with my staff. Recently though I have noticed some new abilities appearing." Coulson doesn't respond right away, its almost like I can see the gears turning inside of his head.

"How do you feel about testing your skills? We can set up some simulations that could help?" He fully turns to face me, a hopeful glint in his eyes. How can I say no to that? And he has been nothing but kind to me since I got here.

"Sure, I guess. I just don't want to unintentionally injure someone."

"Don't worry about it!" he says placing a had on my shoulder, "I'll make sure that nobody gets hurt. If it make you feel better I can request that everyone watches from inside the viewing area?" I nod with a smile.

"Great! Now before we begin on your training lets get some lunch!" he swiftly turns on his heel and continues to walk down the busy hallway. I chuckle slightly to myself and follow him.
