Strange Man at My Door

2011
          Sarah's POV:
*alarm beeping*   
      I slam my hand down on the clock, making the noise stop. I turn around in my bed and pull the covers over my head, shielding me from the blinding light that is coming from my window. I don't even know why I have an alarm set if I don't have a job or anything to go to. Since I'm up, I go to the bathroom and get ready for the day then walk to the kitchen to look for something for breakfast.

      As I'm sitting on my couch and eating a bowl of cereal, I turn on the tv to the news. "Tony Stark has outdone himself again with a brand new, clean energy sustained building in New York." says the tv announcer.

      "What a show off. I hope I never have to run into him anytime soon." I mumble to myself with a mouthful full of cereal. I never really liked him because he was a playboy who loved to show off what he had. For the rest of the day I clean around the apartment and did tasks that needed to be done.

      When dinner comes around, I start to cook a little meal of some tomato soup and grilled cheese. I head to the couch and eat my delicious dinner. As I am eating, a knock is heard from my door. Nobody ever comes to my door so I grab a kitchen knife. I don't like to use my powers because it draws attention. I slowly walk up to the door and look out the little peephole. I look through and see a dark skinned man with an eyepatch and wearing all black with a trench coat.

      "Can I help you sir?" I ask curiously.

      "I've come to talk, Miss Stenson. I am in need of your service." says the mystery man.

      "How do I know you're not gonna kill me or kidnap me?" I question.

      "I come in peace, Miss. I just need to ask you some things so put down the knife and open the damn door." I listen and put down the knife and unlock the door for the man. He walks in and looks around. He goes to my kitchen and takes a cup from my drying rack and fills it with water.

      "Help yourself." I state sarcastically.

      "Miss Stenson, I am here on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D. We are a private, self-run organization that protects and monitors along with the government and we are in need of your services." the man says, "I'm putting together a group of remarkable people with special abilities and you are one of them. A threat has appeared and is threatening the earth and we need to stop it. So are you willing to take this responsibility and fight for your people?" I'm silent for a second until I finally get the words to come out of my mouth. 

      "What?! I, I don't even know who you are or if what you said is even true?! I'm just a regular person with nothing special about them sir, so you might as well just leave..." I say flabbergasted.

     "My name is Nick Fury, but people call me Fury. I'm the head director at S.H.I.E.L.D. And you, young lady, have extraordinary powers that could help us. We have been watching you for a long time Miss Stenson. We need your help."

      "Who are the others?"

      "You'll see."

      "......fineeeee. It'll get me out of the house." I say.

      "Great. Go pack. You'll be with us for awhile." Fury says. I go to my room and pack all of my necessities, clothes and shoes in a suitcase and make my way out. He leads me out of my apartment and I lock it behind me and follow him outside to the rooftop where an all black, fully tinted helicopter sat waiting for us. I suddenly got nervous for what I was about to do.
