Frosted Wings

# 3

After I finished my shift two hours later I went to see how Darcy, Jane, Professor Selvig and Prince Thor were doing before I came back to do my second shift tonight. I walked a few blocks to their 'research lab' but found a bunch of trucks everywhere surrounding it and Jane was yelling at a bunch of men in black suits. As I get closer I hear what she's saying 

"You can't take that! You can't take all my work! This is my LIFE. Our LIVES. We have been working on that for years, you can't just take all of our research. We are Scientists you can't take it!" I roll my eyes slightly at Jane before seeing that one of their trucks is also full of many boxes of my own things. 

One of the trucks is full of boxes filled with Ancient books, Stone tablets and scrolls as well as countless other ancient artifacts from all over the world I accumulated the past few thousand years on Earth. I CAN'T let them take my stuff, if they went through it all I would be compromised and then they'd take me to research and experiment on me for being an 'alien'.

"EXCUSE ME! You have NO RIGHT to take ANYTHING from ANY of us! How DARE YOU JUST BARGE IN HERE AND INTO OUR HOMES TO STEAL OUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS AND LIFE WORKS!"

"Miss Johnson" one of the men calls my fake Lastname. "I believe you should calm yourself. My name is Agent Coulson. We have authorization from SHIELD to appropriate all of this to investigate a security threat  as I was just explaining to Miss Foster"

"By Appropriate do you mean STEAL" Jane yells at him obviously not going to let it go even though Selvig probably already told her too.

"I don't give a damn about SHIELD and even I did I don't even have anything to help. You're after their equipment and records of their atmospheric data but I'm not a scientist, I'm a historian maybe one day I'll be an archeologist as well. All I have is ancient books and artifacts diligently preserved and passed down through my family for centuries, nothing that could really interest you but you're taking them anyway". I was starting to panic, most of those journals and artifacts are mine from the past years and if they found that out I'd be dealing with another huge problem. At least they are all in different languages including Asgardian for some of them so they will have much difficulty translating.

"Yes well in your case these artifacts are worth billions of dollars in any currency in the world. We simply wish to study them for a time. I mean with so little time on your hands I doubt you could possibly learn so many new languages and read and translate all of the texts. It would take a lifetime to do all of it on your own and I'm certain with our help it will be done much more efficiently".

"I assure you I can do it just fine on my own. I have an affinity for languages and have been translating these texts since before you even got a job at SHIELD at the bottom of the ranks".

"Well, in that case, I regret to inform you that either way we are under orders to take them. Who knows maybe one day you could get a job as a translator". He turns away from me and back to Jane who was trying to grab some of her stuff out of the back of a truck and holds out a check for her "Here this should more than compensate you for your trouble"

Jane starts to fight against them and ague while Selvig holds her back. "Thank you for your co-operation" is all that Agent Coulson says before him and his accomplices get in their vans, trucks and cars before driving away.
