Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. FanFic: Winter Frost and Wolf's Fire

Winter Frost

I hear the door creak open and look up, a knife in my palm. Coulson steps in with his hands full and walks over to me. I've been in my room, crouched against the wall, for about two days. I haven't gone out yet because I'm still suffering from a lot of flashbacks. They've stopped, though... I hope. My head feels like Thor decided to use it as target practice for Mjolnir. And I'm not entirely sure at what point I slammed my fist into the wall, but judging by the amount of blood on my hands and the walls, it was more than once. Coulson steps up to where I crouch, and I expect him to say... something about me being in my room for three days straight or something like that. But he doesn't. He just hands me a mug of my favorite Russian tea and two pills, sits down in front of me, grabs my left hand, pulls it towards him, and starts to bandage my split knuckles. I pop the painkillers into my mouth and swallow them with a drink of tea.

"Why do I only get two?" He looks up at me and smiles.

"I need you lucid. I want to have a conversation with me and Brin." I curse at him in Russian, and he rolls his eyes. "You can drop the Reanne act." I relax. Good. I hated that op. Coulson keeps wrapping my knuckles, and I lean back against the wall. I was pulled into Hydra around the same time Bucky was, but I escaped after about 50 years. Coulson found me on the streets and saved my life, bringing me into SHIELD. Since then, he' s been like the father I never had. My earliest memories are of the fire that killed my parents and got me put into the Red Room.

"There. Now get dressed. I'll wait outside." He stands and takes my empty mug. I roll my eyes and mumble at him in Russian. He smirks at me and walks out. I quickly change into my black SHIELD uniform, putting my 16 knives and 6 guns in their right places. I stow a few lighters in my belt as well; I may be called the Black Wolf, but I do like fire. Just before I step out of the room, I grab the wolf pendant Coulson gave me when I first became a SHIELD agent and slip it on, feeling the familiar weight settle against my throat. I step out and meet him, grabbing the fresh mug of tea he holds out for me. We walk down a hallway to the conference room. "Barnes went through questioning. He's clean. We'll send him on a few trial missions before we decide anything. You can go see him after you talk to Brin." I nod, and stand behind him as he swipes his key card to open the door. He nods for me to sit, and I do. "Wait here. I'll go get Brin and come back." I waited for about twenty minutes, drinking about 20 cups of tea before the door opens again. Brin walks in and stares at me.

"Reanne?" Oh, if I ever have to hear that name again I WILL light something on fire.

"No sweetheart, It's actually Katalia." Brin glances at Phil, confusion written across her face.

"Oh don't you dare sweetheart me again or I will blow you to Asgard." I glare at her. Oh that is it. She is sooo in for it.

"Please. I can hold my own with the Avengers. I'd like to see you try, sweetheart."

"Oh, sweetie pie, Loki needed me to take over the world. Have fun with your delusions." My muscles tense, and I slowly stand. Delusions? DELUSIONS?!?!?!?! This is ridiculous. I take one step forward ,Brin starts reaching for her sword. and Coulson steps in front of me. "Kat... Think about this."

"Think about it? THINK ABOUT IT?! She just INSULTED me and you think I'm just going to stand here and take it?! I took things from people for 70 years of my life Phil! I'm not going to let some brat come in here and insult me and my team and let her get away with it. EVER!"

"A brat?! You dare come in here, call me a brat, act like I'm some helpless child, and then yell at the man who saved my life? You better hope you have sword proof armor my dear." She unsheathes her sword, and I pull a gun out of a holster as well as a knife.

"YOUR life? When did he save your life? I never heard that story. I heard the story where he saved my life, though. Even though he wasn't supposed to. You're not allowed to act like he's some special figure in your life, because you're not the only person he's saved. And yes. You are a little brat, and I do believe you might be helpless. You don't look like much anyway. And all you have to protect you is a sword? That's cute." I smirk at her. Like she can hold her own against me. i've fought the Winter Soldier, aliens in New York, AND Loki. She's a pathetic little thing, and I'm actually really surprised Phil thought it was a good idea to let her in.  I pull one of my super-strength lighters out, ready to light this chick on fire... I haven't lit anything on fire in a while.

"If you DARE call me helpless again, I will sever your head from your shoulders. And don't come crying to me about Phil rescuing your prissy, stuck-up self when he was given orders to silence your spewing. Oh, and when Phil was saving my butt, you were holding your head in your hands, crying for Hydra and your lost love." She starts to swing her sword and grabs a grenade. My blood ices, and my voice lowers.

"Don't you ever. EVER. Say ANYTHING about Bucky to me. You don't know what we went through together. You don't know what I went through in Hydra. You don't know anything about me, or Bucky and if you ever mention him to me again in that way, I WILL kill you in all the ways Hydra taught me. We went through a living nightmare in there, and you think you can walk in here and throw it around like it's no big deal? Because it is a VERY BIG DEAL. I'd like to put YOU in Hydra, and see how well YOU walk out of there, because that place ruined my life, and it ruined his. So don't you EVER mention him to me again. Because I will kill for him." My hands tighten around my weapons, and I lower into a crouch, ready to fight at any second. She just insulted the man that I worked with for years of my life, and that I would kill to protect. He is the one person that has held me together after I ran from Hydra; focusing on saving him and getting him out kept me from slipping. And now that I have him back, no one gets to disrespect him. I will protect him until I die. No matter what, I will always be there.

"Call me when you have a sword shoved down your arm. While you were playing analyst, I was working out ways to save the world, again. Don't come in and rage about your life and all you've been through, when you don't even know the half of it. You're so called best friend and hero beat me for seven hours, I left not knowing if I would survive plane ride home. The only reason I'm still alive is because he was called to kill someone else before he could finish the job. You say Hydra taught you both, then I bet you would have done the same thing to me and Phil. Don't tell me about how Phil saved your life when you would ended his." Her nostrils are flaring, and I can see her finger clenching the grenade pin. This has gone beyond words. She has accused me and Bucky of being heartless killers when niether of us knew what our names were 90% of the time. I growl low in my throat and leap forward, ready to end this in the way Hydra taught me. Just, then the door opens, Jemma walking through.

"Hey, guys! Fitz is on the phone... What's going on?" I stop in midair, pivoting to land on my foot, still in a position to attack Brin at a moments notice. Brin, seeing Jemma, sheathes her sword. All of the sudden, I hear Leo's voice through the phone. "What's happening, Jemma? I can't see anything!" Coulson, from where he was hiding behind the table, speaks up. "Nothing but a frindly introduction." Jemma looks at him, "Friendly? Talia was about to kill Brin. I don't call that friendly, sir." Brin glances at Jemma, then walks out the door muttering, "Say hi to Fitz for me." I mutter under my breath in Russian as she walks out. "то маленький брат лучше держаться от меня подальше и Баки , если она знает , что хорошо для нее . ( That little brat better stay away from me and Bucky if she knows what's good for her.)" Then I hear, from the other side of the door, Brin's voice. "Спасибо за предупреждение (Thanks for the warning.)"
