It's a MARVELous Life

Chapter 14 ~ Peace is not just for hippies ~

I stood there for a moment longer, partly because I was debating on whether or not I really should follow this guy into the car, and partly because I wanted to piss Phil off.

And boy did I piss him off.

"Okay okay, keep your non existent hair on, geez..." I said and slowly made my way to the car, and ever so slowly set foot into it.

Then, you know, Phil pushed me in. Can you believe the nerve of that guy?

"Hey!" I protested, "that...that wasn't nice..."

"Nice doesn't get you anywhere in this business, kid."

"What business?"

"I don't know...life." He answered. "Now I'd love to carry on with this meaningless chit chat but I have a job to do and places to be. So let's get moving." He motioned to another woman - who I presumed to be a SHIELD agent - who nodded and sat in the front passenger seat and then he hopped in the car, surprisingly next to me.

"Let's move. And don't scratch Lola."

Guess Lola was the name of the car, as the driver nodded and set foot on the steering wheel, me lurching back and hitting my head on the seat.

Phil just looked at me weirdly, patting his seat belt with his hand.

"Don't even start..."I winced, quickly fastening the belt.

For some reason, that reminded me of Toy Story.

We drove on, and I would have hoped to be silence but nooooooo

"I'm phil Coulson. As you know. I work for SHIELD - where you'll be working soon too."

"Um what!?" I questioned.

"Yeah - Dr Banner will observe the affects of what your 'rash' has given you. If his theory is correct then we can use that power."

"What power? I haven't got any powers!"

"Oh you don't? Explain to me how you saw my ID card? Hmm?"

"Oh...uh...I don't know. I just saw it."

"Exactly. There's your power."

"Seeing stuff?" I asked, "Seeing a little further? Seeing through a material? How the heck is THAT going to help you?!"

"Power is not determined by its size. Nor is the person." He said and I stared at him.

"Look at you all philosophical."

He tutted and we remained the rest of the car journey in silence.

"Coulson. Report." Baldie the pirate said as soon as we got into the Avengers Tower.

I was still kinda dizzy from all that travelling, ready to barf if need be.

"Well we got her nick." He looked at me.

"Excellent. " Fury looked at me for a second and then said, "and how are we this fine day, miss Richards?"

And of course, in response i puked on him

Well his shoes.

I hate getting car sick.

Fury closed his eyes.

And after a moments pause, "Well? I don't pay you to just STAND there while I suffer and get puked on. Move her away! Take her to Dr Banner! Commence testing now! AND SOMEONE CLEAN MY SHOES THESE WERE NEW!" He barked at nearby agents and they scampered off to help.
