Pathways

2 Steve

I've been working non stop for two weeks. Though Coulson is currently head of shield, Nick Fury still technically runs the Avengers. 

Natasha is still constantly looking for Bruce. It's getting sad to watch. It's been a year since we defeated ultron and he hasn't shown. Bruce Banner doesn't exist to the world anymore which is breaking Natasha more than she will let on. I didn't entirely understand what they had, if they were in love or just flirting, but it was special to her.

The worst thing about all of this is that she, being Natasha, just won't let me in. I'm her friend. I just want to talk to her.

There is a loud buzz in my pocket that I still after several years can't seem to get used to. I open my phone to see a text from Tony. There is another recruiting briefing. Dear God how many of these do we need?

My steps echo through the empty hallways. This place is so empty since everything happened. There is a hole in everyone. Even with the twins on board, we can't seem to be whole.

I open the door. I'm the earliest person here which is predictable course it would take Tony longer to get here.

Once the rest of our team arrives we get seated. Fury enters last letting the door slam behind him, the silence suffice ting the room akwardly.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice," he says. He passes all of us a few fairly small files. The only thing the labels say are names.

"These are people I'd like you all to look into. Find out more about them, determine whether they are worth looking into and why. We're looking through recruits but we might find something different." He says quickly. I skim through my five files

Ellen Marlinre

Nico Di Angelo

Annabeth Chase

Jesse Callo

Perseus Jackson.

Those are some interesting names. I haven't heard of an Annabeth or a Perseus before. Then again my name is Steve and as Tony has informed be it's been deemed 'basic'.

The meeting is ajurned so I get to starting these cases. I look into Ellen, the files says she's twenty seven years of age, from Nice France, she's had a troubled childhood with mysterious events surrounding her. She seems interesting but not abnormal. I don't over look her, I use my laptop to look her up, right now she's got her own bakery and two children who are both very young. Even if she's special, I don't need to disrupt her life nor her family.

I go to another file after a few hours of butt numbing research. I pick up the file for an Annabeth Chase.

She's from California. Her father's name is Frederick, her mother is unknown. Usually S.H.I.E.l.D has a way of figuring things like that out. Annabeth is eighteen years of age and just recently graduated from Goode high here in New York. She has no known living relatives besides her fatber. She ran away when she was seven and was reported missing for a few years before she randomly popped back up with no further police investigation. She doesn't have a passport on file, yet the teen has been spotted in Greece last summer. From then on it seems she stayed somewhere unknown on the east coast before she attended her senior year at Goode. She definitely seems worthy of looking into.
