Allie sat on her bed, staring at the alarm clock on her night stand. She decide to set the alarm to 5:00 am. so that she would be able to wake up early, maybe explore a little, and still meet with Coulson in time. She flicked the lamp light off, and pulled up the covers. She closed her eyes. Within minutes she drifted off into a deep sleep...
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! Allie woke up with a start, as the alarm clock buzzed in her ear. She slammed the "Snooze" button, then sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked around, frantically at the strange room. Then she remembered, all the events off the previous day. Talking with Loki, and her "meeting to be" with Coulson.
Allie searched through her closet, finding various skintight uniforms. She pulled out a grey one and got dressed. As she finished pulling up the zipper, there was a soft knock at her door. "Come in!" She called. "Hi." Said Steve poking his head in through the door. "Your the new recruit right?"
"Yea."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Steve Rogers better known as Captain America."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Allie."
" Coulsons waiting for you."
"Ok, thanks."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Allie sighed. She quickly ran a brush through her brown hair, and walked outside. She headed towards the lounge. Coulson was sitting on the couch. He stood up as Allie walked in.
"Coulson."
"Allie."
"So what are we doing today?
"Follow me."
Coulson slowly walked towards the hallway. Loki's hallway. "Coulson.... I don't want to see him again. "Don't worry. We're not seeing him." Confused, Allie followed behind. As they neared Loki's door, Coulson turned to a door that Allie hadn't noticed before. He pulled out a small silver key and unlocked the door. Allie stepped inside, amazed on what she seen.
Different little "stations" were set up. There was a station with shield throwing, one with target practice, one with bricks to break, and many more other stations. "This is where you will learn to use your powers." Said Agent Coulson, waving his hand around the room. "Feel free to look around, and use the er, weapons for practice. I will be back soon."
"Where are you going, Coulson?" Allie asked, running over to the sword practice station. "I'm well... It doesn't concern you." "Ok!" Said Allie happily, grabbing a sword with a ruby sheathe. The sword station was a large, dark room, with human holograms running around. Lots of walls, small tunnels blocks, and other hiding places were around the large room. Allie was supposed to hit them, and they would disappear. As she entered, a female voice echoed around the room. "Welcome." The voice said softly. "Take your sheathe off your sword." Allie pulled off the ruby sheathe to reveal a long, shining, sharp, emerald green blade. "This sword now belongs to you." The voice said. The silver handle lit up, and Allie could see her name was engraved in it.
"Cool!" Allie said, smiling. "Now hold the sword in one hand for a swift swing, and in two for a powerful blow. Watch your footwork. BEGIN!" The holograms began to run around, some sprinting at Allie, others seeking protection. Allie gripped her sword in one hand, and swung at a red hologram, that sprinted at her. She felt very clumsy as she hit the hologram and it disappeared. "Hold it more gently." Said the voice. Allie loosened her grip on the sword and swung at a blue one, that was holding a blue sword. She felt more swift, and with ease, destroyed him.
Soon Allie was running around, destroying holograms left and right, parrying blows, dodging swings, and quickly learning how to sword fight, due to the voices tips. After about a half an hour of "battling" Allie sat down, drenched in sweat. She panted for a minute, then the voice asked, "Are you finished?" "Yea." Panted Allie, still holding on to her sword. "Allie Courtly, first battle, thirty-one opponents destroyed, three hits taken." Allie smiled. Then the voice continued. "Seventh place overall." Allie smiled. Seventh place. She did well for her first time. What she didn't know was that seventh place was last place. "Bravo." Said Agent Coulson, clapping his hands as he walked into the room.
Allie quickly stood up. "You were watching?" She inquired. Coulson nodded. Allie beamed. "Was I good?" "For a first time, yes." Coulson smiled. "I've finished my task, so now I can help you." Coulson grabbed Allie's shoulder and led her to the archery station. "Archery?" Asked Allie, glancing at the Agent, questioningly. "This is where you can use your ice powers." Allie glanced at the targets on the wall, and over to the room that led to the hologram archery.
"But, I don't know my powers yet." Said Allie looking at the floor. "That's why today we will figure them out." "Ok."
"So.... Do you know any of them yet?" "Yea."
Allie held her hand out at a target, and focused hard. After a second, a beam of blue ice shot out, hitting the target in the center. She closed her hand and looked at Coulson. "Cool." He said. "Anything else?" "No."
Coulson thought for a second, eyebrows furrowing together. Then his eyes brightened. "Swing your hands in a circle around you." Allie did so. She concentrated hard, a swung her arms around.
To her surprise, a glimmering ice shield formed around her, knocking Coulson back. "Sorry." Allie snickered, suppressing a giggle.
Coulson glared at her. "Don't laugh." He said sighing as he stood up, dusting his black pants off.
"That's enough for today. Do what you like for the rest of the day." Snapped Coulson, swiftly walking out of the room.
Allie just smiled.
