The Story Of The Crimson Queen

Chapter 7: Late nights and discoveries

N's P.O.V.:

Nat, Clint, and I spent most of the night watching strange things on the television. I believe one of them was called 'Spongebob'. After a few episodes Clint had taught me the theme song and we sang it at the top of our lungs. Nat sat in the corner laughing and I could of sworn I heard passing agents laughing at our behavior. But in that moment, that amazingly peaceful moment, I didn't care. I was free.

But as they say, nothing lasts for ever. Eventually an agent came to where we were and informed us that Fury wanted to speak with us. We immediately took up an air of total seriousness despite yelling the spongebob theme song only minutes before. I examined the agent before us as we walked to Director Fury's office. She looked to be in her late twenties to early thirties, brown hair that was kept in a bun besides a strip of bangs that was tucked behind her ear. She wore a dark blue catsuit that had the Shield insignia on her upper arms. She also had a certain air of authority much like that of Director Fury.

The other agents in the hallway either gave nods of respect or didn't even look in our direction as we followed Agent Hill. We finally reached Director Fury's office after a long awkward silence and many twists and turns. "Well that was Hawkward." Clint muttered under his breathe so only Nat and I could hear him. "Hawkward?" I questioned with a smirk. "Since his field name is Hawkeye, Clint likes to use play-on phrases with his name." Nat muttered over her shoulder at us.

We filed into Director Fury's office. I couldn't help but feel nervous as we lined up into a straight line. As Agent Hill went to talk to Director Fury, I tried to hide my fidgeting hands behind my back. "Don't be nervous. Fury isn't a bad guy, he would never intentionally hurt you." Nat said under her breathe as she leaned over to me. Since I was only 4'9 she had to lean down several inches to reach my ear.

Although what Nat had said greatly helped me, I still couldn't help but feel nervous. After several agonizingly long minutes Director Fury dismissed Agent Hill and turned to us. "I would like you all to take a seat." He said gently. Nat and Clint walked over to the rows of chairs that sat around the oblong table in the center of the room. Despite my confusion I followed them. We all took one side of the table. Nat and Clint had made sure that I was between them.

The Director walked over to the other side of the table and took the seat directly across from mine. He sighed. "Well N, I have good news and bad news." He said as he put his hands together. I raised my eyebrow in question but didn't say a word. Clint broke the silence. "And that would be...?" He questioned. I looked at him astonished. You are never to question a comanding officer, ever. The Director chuckled in amusement.

He's not angry? But Clint questioned him.

Director Fury seemed to have noticed my distraught. "N, asking questions is not a crime. It's natural to ask questions. It's how you learn." He clapped his hands gently. "Now, onto the news. We got the DNA back." I tried to hide my eagerness as I waited patiently. This is it, I'm about to find out who I am. "We will have to go down to the lab though so we can get a better explanation." I nodded my head quickly. Director Fury chuckled at my eagerness. "Alright then let's go." He said standing up.

TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY FURY IN A PRINCESS TIARA~

When we arrived at the lab Director Fury immediately walked over to one of the doctors in the room. "The results please." He said holding out a hand. The doctor immediately handed the Director a file. Nat gave my shoulder a reasuring squeeze. Director Fury walked back over to us. "We can read these in a spare lab. That way people can't intrude upon your privacy." Director Fury said leading us to a room on the right. Director Fury and I sat on a couple of stools opposite each other while Nat and Clint stood beside me.
