A Mission in Paris
[Chapter Two]
The Mission

S.H.I.E.L.D Headquarters

It has been a week since Agent Schoeler joined Clint and they have been busy training together so Alyanna hardly saw him since their fight. She hardly saw Clint either and that made her a little sad.

It's Monday morning and Alyanna just got back from visiting Tony. Fury had called her and Natasha in early that morning to discuss a new mission the two were going to be sent on.

They sat at the conference table, looking up at the screen as Fury briefs them.

"We have been tracking down a potential threat in Paris for a few weeks now. This is what we know so far," he says before clicking on the screen.

A glowing yellow stone appears on the screen

A glowing yellow stone appears on the screen. "The French Government has been containing a special stone called the Baraka Stone, said to be hundreds of thousands of years old."

"Great another rock," Alyanna mutters under her breath, causing Natasha to crack a smile.

Fury continues, flicking on the screen to show the rock in a display. "They have it on display at the World History Museum located in Paris, France. Security has been capturing a suspicious figure that has been visiting the stone on a regular basis." He clicks the screen to show security footages of a tall thin man in several positions around the stone. "We looked further into this strange man and we were able to dig up this information."

A clearer picture of the man appears on the screen. He is lanky with greyish hair and a pair of circular glasses over his eyes. He wears a frown as his grey eyes look at the camera dully. "His name is Raoul Hérisson, a french electrician from the outskirts of Paris. He is 54 years old and was recently let off from his job."

Alyanna cocks her head in confusion. "What would he want with the stone?"

Natasha pipes up, "Let me guess, he's pissed because he lost his job so now he's going to steal the Stone and use it in some way to get revenge."

Fury smirks, "Always one step ahead, Romanoff."

"I don't get it, how will the stone help him?" Alyanna questions.

Fury taps the screen once more, showing the contents of the stone. "The Baraka Stone is a powerful source of electricity. In some way, unknown to scientist, the rock can absorb electricity or any power source, hence the reason it needs a rubber display and special glass."

It began to make sense. "He's going to try to take the power away from the city," she concludes.

Fury nods in agreement. "This isn't a big enough of a threat to call on the Avengers, but I believe that you two can handle it just fine."

Alyanna looks at Natasha who smiles encouragingly. "You got it!" She exclaims, standing to her feet. "I've always wanted to go to Paris!"

Director Fury hands them a small handheld device. "This is all the information you need to know. Try to stop him before he gets the stone, if he somehow manages to get it before you arrive, then call me immediately."
