Duty Calls

'Hello.' He replied as we stood staring forward in shock.
'You.. you're.. Nick Fury' i said in disbelief.
'In the flesh' he said, probably slightly weirded out.
'Urm, what are you doing here? You're quite the way from New York.' Winter asked as he tossed her the bike keys.
'She says in the nicest way possible' Toby added, smiling at Nick.
'We've got to go' Cameron said, confusing me.
Nick Fury is literally stood in their garage and he has better things to do? Seriously?
'Thats what i'm here about' Nick started, causing Cameron to turn to him.
'There's a hostage situation underway at the chemical lab on 3rd. You are needed there immediately. When the situation is resolved, return here as i have a few more things to say before i go.' Fury finished, pulling out a chair from the slightly dirty kitchen table.
'That doesnt sound like our kind of thing. Can't the feds handle that?' Winter replied.
'Not this time' he said then looked at each of us.
'Is this all of you?' he asked as he stared at Camille.
'Those two aren't part of the team. They just saw some things and we're checking up on it' Preston said pointing at Camille and I.
'Saw some things! The gaping hole in my ba..'
'Nora! Camille. Come with me please. Now.' Cameron said pointing towards the desks.
I sighed, then followed.
'That is Nick freaking Fury sat in there. Please, if you tell him about what happened, it could ruin any future we have with him and Sheild.' he said, collecting his things for the mission.
'Take us with you.' I blurred out.
'What?' Cameron said, followed by exactly the same from Camille.
'Take us on the mission with you and i wont tell.' I stated, placing my hand on my hip and watching his reaction carefully.
'Are you blackmailing me?' he smiled.
'I think she is..' Camille replied as i continued to stare, waiting impatiently for an answer.
'You guys are supposed to be helping me with this wound that you dont understand, so i need to trust you. This is the perfect way to do that' i explained as he listened.
'Fine. But you stay out of the way of my team, and be careful.' he said sternly to us both.
'Got it!' I giggled excitedly.

***********************************

When we got to the chem lab, there were a couple cop cars who, i suppose, have called for backup. We went through the back so they couldnt stop us.
'Stop!' Cameron shouted, causing everyone to look over.
They began shooting at us violently. I let out a small scream then ducked round the corner, dragging Camille with me.
'Stay down!' Toby yelled to us, not that he had to!
I watched as Winter stopped all the bullets mid-air, making the bad guys stare in shock. (As well as both me and Camille!) In a split second the bullets all dropped to the floor and everything went silent.
'FREAK!' one yelled as they began firing again.
Cameron ripped up the counter top and launched it at the men, shattering the window behind them.
'Fire!' Preston yelled.
I looked around the room and found no sign of a fire, as did the men. All of a sudden, the ceiling caved in revealling a raging fire that had clearly originated from upstairs.
The men and hostages ran out towards the police and i jumped out from around the corner in order to get away from the fire.
'If this fire reaches the chemicals in storage down the hall...' Preston started.
'Not good' Winter finished for him.
'Hang on' Camille said as she pulled out her tablet.
Tons of sand began falling from the roof engulfing the flames.
'No longer a problem' Camille said, winking at Cameron. I giggled.
'Wheres Toby?' I asked looking between the team members.
'Ahh!' he screamed as he came running in, his leg covered in flames.
'Toby!' Winter exclaimed.
'You're on fire!' Preston added.
'No shit!' He yelled as he flung his leg around.
I looked around for something to put the flames out. I just wanted this to go well. Prove myself. Oh Toby! Poor Toby is on fire and we're all stood here like idiots. Think Nora. THINK!
Then, the unthinkable happened. Water began to spew from my hands as they douced out the fire.
'What the..?' I began in confusion.
'Woah..' Camille added.
'No..' Winter started.
'Way.' Preston said as they all glared at the water flying from my palms.
When the flames had died, i closed my hands, putting them into fists and stopping the water. Toby stared at my fists.
'That was awesome!' he grinned, shaking my wrists gently and looking at the rest of the group.
Coppers started to storm in so Toby pulled me towards the team.
'We gotta go!' Winter shouted as she headed for the back door.
We all hurried after her.
We got about a block away when Camille stopped me in my tracks.
'What the hell was that?' she said gesturing to my hands.
'I honestly..' i began but was interrupted.
'You have POWERS!' she yelled causing everyone to turn to us.
'We can discuss this when we get back to base' Toby said.
'That was freaking awesome though!' she started again.
'Did you see how well we worked together? Winter stopped bullets mid-air. That was so cool by the way girl. Preston sensed a fire before we even knew what was happening. Cameron literally launched a counter top across the room. I hacked into the lab and put out most of the fire, except for the small part on Toby's leg but clearly Nora had that covered! We were amazing out there'.
'Thats our job' said Preston bluntly.
'But it could be OUR job..' Camille said smiling, her eyes darting between each of the heroes.
'What do you mean?' Cameron questioned.
'You clearly kept us around for something' i said causing Camille to look over at me.
'You see something in us. Or at least Nora!' she said.
'But we're a package deal.' I said, winking at her.
'Urm..' Cameron began.
'You're curious..' i stated.
'What?' Cameron asked.
'About my powers'
'Lets just get back.. and we'll talk about this properly. Deal?' Toby asked me.
I sighed.
'Deal..' i breathed out then continued our walk back.
