I woke up to my phone loudly ringing in my ear. I groaned as I sat up, unplugging it from the charger. I glanced at the clock as I answered the phone, questioning who would be calling at 2:37 in the morning.

"Kann ich dir helfen?" I asked.

"Is this Ms. Russmann?" The voice on the other line asked, sounding slightly unsure with himself.

"Yes. May I ask who this is?" I scratched my head, puzzled. Who in their right mind made phone calls in the middle of the night?!

"This is Joe Russo, with Marvel Studios. I'm calling about your audition as Renegade." My heart froze and my face dropped. This was the Joe Russo. Calling me. At two o'clock in the morning. Does he not respect my sleep?

"What about it, sir?" I questioned, clearing my throat to stifle a yawn.

"Congratulations, Ms. Russmann, you got the role."

I jumped up, a large grin on my face. "Are you serious?!" I announced a little too loud.

He laughed on the other line. "Yes. We will be in contact with your agents to give you the information on when filming will be. I wanted to personally make the call and tell you that your audition was hands down the best we had seen for Renegade."

I turned red, holding my free hand to my cheek. "Thank you, Mr. Russo! Thank you so much!"

He laughed again. "Joe is fine. I suggest you get some rest and begin packing, filming will start within a few weeks, and I'm sure you'd like to do some touring before we begin."

"Yes, Of course." I began searching in my closet, when I realized it was too early for this, "maybe at a more decent hour."

"What time is it in your home?" Joe asked. I jumped. I had forgotten I was on the line with him.

"Oh," I laughed sheepishly. "It's 2:40."

"I apologize, I assumed it was a decent hour. You should get some rest. Jetlag is never fun."

"Will do. Thank you so much, again, Mr. Russo!"

"Joe," he corrected, "we will be in touch. See you in a few weeks." He hung up, and I stood there, feeling like I was on a cloud. Everything was blissful.

I was going to be Renegade.
