Genesis' POV

"W-wait, who are we meeting here?" I asked as my friend guided me inside the Triskelion building.

Whitney flashed out her I.D. card and scanned it against the monitor. The system beeped and allowed us access inside the building. Following her into the atrium, I stared in awe at a white eagle statue, which was S.H.I.E.L.D's logo. She led me straight to the elevators, which contained two other people in their S.H.I.E.L.D uniforms.

"Pierce's office," Whitney stated.

"Confirmed," the elevator responded back, which startled me.

Wow.

The elevator was rising, unloading people and picking people up. My jaw dropped, watching the whole world beneath me through the elevator glass. Whitney giggled at my reaction. The elevator finally stopped, dinging at our final destination. The elevator doors slid open, and we stepped out of it with Whitney leading me down the hallway.

She stopped midway in the room to our left and knocked on the door. "Mr. Secretary?" She called. "I brought you a visitor." Turning the knob, she opened the door.

"Ah! Whitney!" A male's voice greeted her. "Glad you could make it."

My heart was racing every seconds that passed. I licked my dry lips.

Who is it?

Whitney turned to me, gesturing me to enter the room. I anxiously entered and soon found a sandy blond-haired man in a black suit rise from his seat to head over in our direction.

My eyes widened as I recalled the one dream I had. He looked exactly like the man in my dream. If that was the case, I slowly turned to Whitney.

Was she perhaps the female who gave him the phone and the paper?

"You must be Genesis Lin," he smiled, extending out his hand. I gently took it, and we both shook hands. "Here, come, have a seat."

I sat down on one of his sofas, while he sat across from me. However, Whitney did not.

"Whitney, why don't you go make some coffee for us?"

"Yes, Mr. Secretary," Whitney responded, closing the door behind her.

Wait, was it her? It had to be her in my dream.

I felt a bit uncomfortable since I was left alone with a stranger. "Sorry, let me introduce myself, Genesis. I'm Alexander Pierce, the secretary of the World Security Council and a part of the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division, also known as S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm sure you know about S.H.I.E.L.D, am I correct?"

Wow...I guess his status is close to the president's? Man, I thought he would be the president. She fooled me, but this dude is cool too.

I violently nodded. "It's an honor, Mr. Secretary."

He crossed one of his legs over the other. "Now, you must be wondering why you're here and why I requested you, right?"

I nodded. "Yes, my co-worker, Whitney, told me you wanted to see me? How do you know Whitney?"

The door widened, revealing Whitney with two cups of coffee. Setting them down on the coffee table, Pierce offered me a cup. I thanked him, as well as Whitney.
