FOOTSTEPS and raindrops, footsteps and raindrops was all you could hear in an empty alleyway of Queens, New York. A man had been walking down that alleyway as rain poured down on him, and sleeping on his shoulder, was a little girl. She was only at the age of two when H.Y.D.R.A captured her and began to experiment on her. But thankfully, S.H.E.I.L.D had saved her before she could be turned into a war machine. They had sent Nick Fury to deliver the little girl her soon to be, parents. The parents were retired S.H.I.E.L.D agents, Jolene and Ryan Taylor. The two had a son of their own but they wanted another kid, specifically a girl. When they heard about the young girl they agreed to take her in, knowing the difficulties and consequences of raising her. Fury looked down at the little girl and noticed her thumb placed in her mouth. With a sigh he took the thumb out of the young girls mouth not wanting her to have the habit of sucking her thumb. Fury walked to the end of the alleyway looking both ways of the sidewalk, he noticed the building where the family were living in. He hurriedly walked into the building and up the stairs to see 514, the number of the apartments the Taylor's lived in. Fury let out a breath and knocked on the door. In less than a minute the door swung open revealing both Jolene and Ryan. A smile appeared onto the happy couples faces as they saw the sleeping little girl in Fury's arms. Fury couldn't help but smile as he saw their reactions. He brought the little girl to Jolene to give and she gladly took her. Jolene held her in her arms, looking down at her in awe.

"What's her name?" She asked moving the blanket away from the little girls face.

Fury shrugged his shoulders. "We couldn't find one, so we decided to let you guys choose." He answered. The little girl let out a small yawn causing Jolene to gasp.

Ryan looked down at the little girl and smiled at her as well. "What are you going to name her love?" He asked his wife moving a strand of hair away from her face.

Jolene smiled looking up at her husband. "Eleanora Hope Taylor." She answered, proud of the name. Ryan smiled nodding his head, agreeing with her choice. He looked away from his wife and to Fury, giving him a thankful smile.

"Thank you so much Fury." He said, shaking Fury's hand. "We really appreciate this."

Fury nodded his head, happy for the couple. "Don't worry about it." He smiled nodding his head as he looked back down at the little girl. "You do know that her powers are going to grow stronger the older she gets." He says reassuring them.

The couple nodded their heads understanding what was going to happen in the future.

"Yes we do know, and we're willing to help her control her powers." Ryan answered truthfully.

Fury nodded his head proud of them. He looked down at the little girl one last time and looked at how she peacefully slept. A small smile appeared as he slightly shaking his head. Fury looked at the Taylor's giving them one last smile. "Good luck Taylor's." He says before walking towards the stairs. But before he could go fully down them, he looked at the little girl one last time and bit his lip. "Goodbye Eleanora."
