CHAPTER 2
Level 7

Rachel

I felt better once I was back at Tidal Point. It was the base that I was stationed at regularly. It had access to all SHIELD motor, sub sea and aviation assets.

But they also had the best rehabbing facility for Captain America. To think someone captured the leader of The Avengers managed to get him into a stasis pod.

They had scientists working on getting him out of the stasis pod currently while I had to go give Hill my full report.

I walked into the command center and Commander Hill was already waiting for me. She was stood in her usual stance with her arms behind her back waiting for intel to come her way.

"Ah Agent Carter. I was wondering where you had gotten off to" Hill wondered aloud. She may be mean but she was a great leader.

"I was making sure that the package was moved safely. Most of these agents don't get how easy it is to damage someone in one of these things. I'll make sure to let him know how fragile he was when he wakes up" I announced to Hill. All the agents that followed me in didn't look to pleased with that comment. I was in a joking kind of mood though and a small smirk pulled at my face.

"Well it's natural for you to want to see his safe transfer at what you went through to get him" Hill smiled at me. I didn't really too much it was more Cameron's work. I just did the planning. "You did a great job out there Carter. In fact Coulson wants to speak to you over video conference when you're ready" Hill announced. She motioned for me to go into the office in the back.

I snorted and sauntered over into the office at the side. It was no one's office in particular. You could tell by the lack of personal effects. But then again we were agents of a top secret spy organization so personal wasn't our style.

I had barely taken a seat when the monitor came on showing Director Coulson. With that usual smile he had on his face.

"Rachel" he smiled at me.

"Director. Boss. God. Mickey. Dorothy" I replied. It had been a while since I had spoken to Coulson.

"That's enough Rachel. I wanna thank you for your work on the cargo carrier. You showed impressive skill in your field" Coulson explained to me. He couldn't have possibly finished reading that mission report already.

"No offense Coulson but what do you want? You wouldn't have requested me for just a congratulations" I got down to the point straight away. All I wanted to do was sleep.

"You're right. You have shown great skill in your area. Which is why I want to welcome you to Level 7" he smiled at me.

I had to stop for a few seconds to take that in. "Really?" I laughed at him. That was the level that all the best SHIELD agents could only get to. They didn't let just anyone become a Level 7. "You're not about to spout some cliche like Luke I am your father are you?" I frowned at him. I wanted to know I had earned it.

"You've earned it Rachel. You're the best tactical planner to come through the ranks since...well me" he stated cockily. That was a high compliment coming from him.
