The car pulled up to a huge mansion. After the long drive from NYC to the Hamptons, I was happy to stretch my legs. The rigorous training that Victoria's Secret required had left me lethargic but, it's nothing that a good cup of coffee can't fix. "Angelina! Pleasure to see you again," "And a pleasure to meet you!" the team of men and women said. "Would you like coffee, tea or anything to eat?" a man asked, "Would it be ok if I had some coffee?" He nodded and scurried away. 


After we settled into the beautifully modern living room they began to ask me several basic questions like had I ever acted before,what was my experience, how is acting incorporated into my job today etc... They also asked me to read over some old scripts. I read for Captain America himself, the Winter soldier, and the Falcon (my personal favorite.) "So, let's pretend you're one of the best hackers on the planet and could have access to any information in the world, digitalized or not." I nodded, "Now you're in an interrogation with the CIA and they want you to work for them also, they will use any means necessary... Go!" 

"You will give us what we want Mrs.Smith" a woman interrogated, "Look I'm just a college professor I can't help you," I faked desperation. The woman grabbed the back of my head wich made me swallow hard, "Do you speak English? GIVE US the truth!" "The-" I caught my breath and looked up at the woman, " The truth... THE TRUTH? THIS COUNTRY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!" "I'M NOT PLAYING GAMES HERE," the woman yelled back, "NEITHER AM I," I spit back, 

"You can't handle the truth because every time it comes out you get a sweet-talking news anchor or a counter story or plain out call someone crazy and it works. WHY? because people would rather stay with the unknown and feel safe than know the truth and it's consequences and find a way to actually be safe." I stated matter of factly. The woman stared at me blankly, "That is the truth, that is all I can promise. You want to torture me, FINE! But DO NOT come and blame me for the unintended circumstances. Now I'll give you two options, I quit my job as a professor and work for you; give you all of the truth you want. Or wait until the country is ready, and give them what you already know, ease them into it.Let the people trust you. AND ONLY THEN- if by some bloody magical way the world has not gone to shit. Then... and only then, we can talk... But for now, that's all I can offer."

The room went quiet. Claps soon filled the room, "Odette said you could act but..." Joe looked at his brother and the writers, " She never told us we had a Grace Kelly," the main writer Mark Millar said, "Are you busy I would say around... early to mid-2017?" I could feel a sudden burst of excitement in my stomach. "I don't know," I said with a smile. "Well," Joe continued, "How would you feel about joining us?" I smiled wider than I thought was possible, "Really?" I said half squealing, they all nodded and giggled a bit. "That would be great! I can't be-... Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"You should expect social media outlets to be informed in a couple weeks so, be ready-"We will also warn Victoria's Secret so we can work out dates you can switch between shooting." 

Like that, I became a part of the MCU...
