Y/n's POV

I felt so embarrassed that Tom had caught me singing in the kitchen it's my secret and I felt kind of annoyed that he now knew about it.

And it annoyed me that he moved me from the sofa to the bed... sort of. I mean I appreciate that he wanted me to be comfy but in no way do I believe I asked him to stay. I have no memory of that.

I went to the living room with my cup of tea and opened up my SHIELD laptop and decided to start researching some files on Rafe and his company.

I found the file named Anthrodia Procyon and clicked on it.

Processing... ACCESS DENIED

"Access denied?" I whispered to myself. I tried it again and again but still it just kept saying I was denied."Urgh, c'mon!" I whispered shouted.

I tried putting in my agent password but it came up on the screen with 'HIGHER PERSONEL REQUIRED - ACCESS DENIED'

I'm one of the top agents, I don't understand and I'm working on this case why shouldn't I have access. God dammit.

I slam my hands down on the sofa in frustration and Tom walks over to me eyebrows raised in amusement.

"What's up with you?" He says whilst eating his crisps obnoxiously loud.

"I can't read these files. It makes no sense we both should be able to considering we're working on this mission. We should know what's on these files."

"Well... maybe it's top secret?" He asked plainly.

"Tom, you do realise this is a top secret mission and both of us are top secret agents working on it... Right?"

He shrugged and kept eating his crisps.

"I mean, if access is denied to us it's gotta be restricted for a reason. They wouldn't just leave us in the dark over something big like this."

"Unless they're lying..." I mumbled under my breath. Tom didn't hear and just slumped back on the sofa next to me.

"Y'know, you could try hacking into it." He said looking over at my laptop. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Um, this is SHIELD we're talking about Tom. I can hack but I'm not that good to be able to break into SHIELD's databases." I rolled my eyes.

"I don't know then..." he said getting up from the sofa "prechy werrd ifyou ashk me." He attempted to speak whilst eating his food. I rolled my eyes at the boy and shut my laptop down placin gon the coffee table infront of me.

"I'll contact Fury later on about it." Tom nodded and walked back into the kicthen. As he walked away i felt a twinge at the back of my head. "Jesus!" I wishpered yelled to myself. It wasn't a normal kind of pain, it was like someone was squeezing the back of my head trying to crush it slowly. But... then it stopped. I shook the feeling and got up from the sofa.

I decided to take a better look around the shared house I now call home for however long. I walked to the porch area with my tea warming my hands and looked out over the feilds that surrounded us.

I walked out to the front to find Tom chopping wood with an axe, blocks lay in a pile beside him.

I smiled weakly and began walking towards him.

"Hey." I smiled squinting my eyes under the sun.

"Hey. Fancy joining me?" He wiggled his eyebrows and put one foot on the log. I laughed half-heartedly.

"I'm good, thanks. Besides I'm still stuck on what to do about the files..."

"I'll talk to Fury later for you, don't worry about it." He picked up the axe again placed a wood block on the stump and slashed straight through it.

I nodded at Tom and started walking back over to the porch but I dropped my tea and the mug smashed on the ground. I fell to my knees. The pain had returned in the back of my head stronger this time like a bad migraine.

"Y/n!" Tom dropped the axe and came sprinting over to me but the began to subside. "A-are you alright? What happened?"

"Tom, its fine I'm fine. It's no big deal I've been getting headaches all day I'm probably just sick."

"You didn't seem fine just then. Here." He put his forearm infront of me to hold onto whilst his hand went round my back to help me up.

"Tom, really I'm fine. I'll go have some paracetomol now."

"Y/n-"

"I'm fine, Tom." I snapped. He looked a little hurt before turning away mumbling something I couldn't quite hear. I rolled my eyes but I felt bad as soon as I turned to walk away. I didn't mean to snap at him but I jus wanted him to stop fussing, its only a headache.

I stepped into the house round the back and walked groggily over to the kitchen area to the cupboard.

I picked out some paracetomol and popped two into my mouth whilst filling a glass of water. I swigged them back and put the galss back on the table with a thud.

"God..." I rubbed my eyes leaving a few specs and stars to appear over my eyes clouding my vision but they didn't disappear like usual.

They kept appearing and appearing until all my vision was gone and I felt my head slam into the floor and a glass smash beside me before I lost all consciousness.
