Chapter Eleven
•Claire•
Kylie and I were lounging around her little room on the bunks. She doesn't share with anyone so I made myself comfortable on the empty one. We were gorging ourselves on all the junk food we found hidden on the plane. I laughed, Kylie said she wouldn't have thought to do this before. I guess I really am a bad influence. She had just finished telling me about how she caused the base to have a blackout when I decided she was cool enough.
"I wanna find my sister." I said after the laughter. She realized the seriousness of the simple statement and sat up, pushing away the m&ms. "I haven't met her and I just learned her name today, but I wanna find her before someone worse does."
"So why don't you?"
"My brother wants to find her too... I'm afraid I might lead him to her. Or worse, I won't be able to protect her if I do. She's not a field agent, Coulson said she was in Sci-Tech which is basically another way of saying she hasn't taken or hasn't passed her field assessments..." I explained.
"You're definitely a badass, why don't you think can protect her?" She asked. I sighed and tossed another m&m in my mouth.
"I'm compromised... I've been manipulated time and time again and it's my fault for trusting other people. I'm like 90% sure you're gonna stab me in the back. No offense, but that's how my day is going at the moment." I explained, "And on top of my trust issues my fighting skills aren't where they used to be. I can skill kick ass but I definitely couldn't take on the Black Widow and win like I have before."
"Well how do you get un-compromised?" She asked and it was actually adorable. At least for someone whose been in SHIELDs care for a while and doesn't know spy-speak. I chuckled a bit.
"If you find out, let me know." I joked, but also not really. "The only way I can think of right now is to stop trusting people but I've been out of the game for a little while and that's all it takes to lose your touch."
"Then let's make a deal. Aside from your sister, I am the last person you start to trust. Everyone else you take under complete scrutiny. Deal?" She questioned holding out her pinky. Yeah, sure, what the hell.
"Mmkay, Deal." I caught her pinky with my own and the deal was complete.
"Now, about being able to protect her physically." I raised an eyebrow.
