Third Person POV

"There will be five things you will be tested in. Intelligence, use of weaponry, intuition, combat, and use of your semblances. You will each be rated on a scale from one to twelve. One being the worst and twelve being a perfect score. You will not be timed on these tests. I will call up five agents there are five pods. Each of you will enter your own pod. Each of the five simulations should last about fifteen minutes each. You objective is to get the highest scores you can because your scores affect who you'll be paired up with. These partnerships are permanent."

Said Hazel.

"I have nothing to worry about. If I get a high enough score than I don't have to worry about getting partnered up with anyone."

Thought Cinder to herself. A short girl with long platinum blonde hair and grey eyes stood beside her looking nervous.

"So that must be Lilly. She doesn't look like too much of a threat."

Thought Cinder to herself.

"I already know for a fact that I'll never have to work with this agent let alone any agent on Team S.H.E.I.L.D."

Thought Cinder to herself while sighing in relief.

Lilly gazed over at Cinder and then she felt Sun place his hand on her shoulder.

"Sun who's that?"

Asked Lilly.

"Oh that's Cinder Fall. Cinder never speaks to anyone and I mean anyone ever. Except for Director Rainart and Director Mikaelson. Cinder is also one of the highest ranking agents on Team S.H.I.E.L.D. besides our edgy bird Mom."

Said the golden haired monkey Faunus.

"Edgy bird Mom?"

Asked Lilly in confusion.

"He means me."

Said Raven Branwen coming up from behind sun.

"And I thought I told you to stop calling me that."

Said Raven while glaring at Sun.

Then sun had a nervous look on his face and let out a nervous laugh.

"Right..."

Said Sun while backing away.

Then Hazel began to call out the list of names and his voice caused everyone to fall silent.

"Raven Branwen, Blake Belladonna, Neptune Vasilias, Weiss Schnee, And Cinder Fall please enter the pods."

Said Hazel.

Cinder then made her way to her pod and Raven made her way to her's.

"Good luck Cinder. Remember what we talked about during your training session."

Said Raven.

Cinder nodded and then she entered her pod.

"Good luck Blake!"

Shouted Lilly from the crowd.

Blake gave her best friend a thumbs up and then Hazel pressed a button and closed the doors to the pods.

"The tests will begin in 3...."

Said Hazel placing his hand on the lever.

"2...."

"1...."

Said Hazel pulling down the lever and the pods were sent to their simulation's location.

Lilly watched nervously and thirty minutes had passed and Raven was the first one to finish her sims, and then ten minutes later Cinder came out and she didn't even look exhausted.

"I'm calling the next list of names. Oscar Pine, Charlie Charme, Joshua Cromwell, Qrow Branwen, and Lillian Emerald."

Said Hazel.

Lilly jumped when she heard her name and then raven smirked a little.

"Don't be nervous the test isn't so bad."

Said Raven.

Lilly nodded and then she entered her pod but then she saw Joshua and he winked at her when he saw her but then she felt Qrow Branwen pull down on Lilly's shoulder and Qrow's breath remakes of alcohol.

"Watch your back newbie."

Said Qrow while glaring at Lilly.

"Don't get your feathers in a bunch agent Branwen."

Said Lilly while pulling her arm
away from Qrow's tight grip.

"Hey Qrow Leave the girl alone."

Said Raven to her brother.

Qrow rolled his eyes and walked into his pod.

"Ignore what that asshat said you'll do great."

Said Joshua giving his childhood friend a thumbs up.

Lilly tried to hide her blush and she gave Joshua a thumbs up before entering her pod and she heard the door close to her pod.

"The tests will begin in 3..."

Said Hazel touching the lever.

"2..."

"1..."

Said Hazel pulling down on the lever.

The pods went at full speeds towards their destinations and Hazel watched the pods closest and he tapped onto his scroll to review the coordinates as to what simulation the agents were going to.
