Chapter 22

Elizabeth's POV

 Time Skip... A Week Later...

    

   So Nick Fury found out who I am and wants to meet me. Apparently he's impressed with my work. This could either be a really great thing or a mix of good and bad. He might want to use me for something that benefits him... I guess we'll find out. Bruce is coming with me to meet him for moral support. He wraps an arm around my waist to guide us to Fury's office at Shield HQ. I take a few deep breathes to try to relax before stepping inside his office. He looks up from his computer with a grin. He shakes my hand before giving Bruce an awkward hug. 

   "Elizabeth, it's a pleasure to meet you. You've done a lot of amazing work lately, especially with Dr. Banner here. I hear you're even an item, which is a bit of a shock to me. Nonetheless, I'm happy for the two of you. Anyways, I have something I wanted to ask you." I raise an eyebrow at him but motion for him to continue. "Elizabeth, how would you like to work as an agent of Shield?" I look at him in shock and Bruce's jaw drops too. "W-Wait what?" He smirks at me. "You heard me. You're a very smart skill with a lot of useful skills. We have two other scientists on the team who'd love to work with you. I'm not saying you have to agree now, but at least think about this. This an opportunity that really could change your life."

      Fury leaves his office for a moment to give Bruce and I some time to absorb this offer. When he's gone, I see the green veins forming on Bruce's neck. I panic and rush into his arms, gently hugging him. "I'm not going to accept the offer Bruce. As honored as I am, I love working for you and Tony. I'm not going anywhere. I work better in the lab than I would as an agent out on the field, trust me." 

       Bruce sighs and the green veins on his neck begin to disappear. "I'm so sorry for getting so worked up about this. You have a mind of your own and have every right to make your own decisions without anyone else influencing you. Hulk and I both can't bear the fought of some bad guy hurting you out on the field. You don't have superpowers so it would be harder to protect yourself out on the field. Not that I have them myself, I simply have a monster that comes out whenever I'm pissed off. I'm more like a weapon than anything else." 

     I continue to hug him. "I'm a smart girl Bruce, I knew what Fury was like long before I met him. I know how he rolls and I sure as hell wouldn't let him force me into doing something I didn't want to do. I love you. You and Hulk have me, I'm not going anywhere." He nods and kisses me on the forehead. Fury then steps back in. "Have you made a decision Elizabeth?" I nod. "I have. As honored as I am to have been asked by you to join SHIELD as an agent, I'm going to pass. I really do enjoy working for Stark Industries. Tony and Bruce are the most amazing bosses and I can't bear to part from them." 

     Fury rolls his eyes. "I'm sure your boyfriend here influenced you but okay. You may go now." A sudden wave of anger hits me and I slam both of my hands down on the table. "No one influenced me to make this decision. I have my own mind and know how to use it. Therefore, I made this decision myself. Thank you very much Fury and goodbye." I leave his office without another word with Bruce following close behind. When we're out of earshot, he bursts out laughing. "Aw babe, that was so hot. I'm so proud of you though." I blush and peck him on the lips. "Thank you Bruce. Now let's go home okay?" He smiles. "Yeah, let's go home."
