My life for the past 2 months has been, wake up, breakfast, Endurance training and sparring with Steve, weapons training with Clint and Natasha, school with Tony and Bruce, dinner and a little extra training by myself, repeat.

I would say its been boring but honestly I'm loving life right now. I'm getting nervous as there hasn't been much activity concerning Hydra. Surely they can't want me that bad if they've waited 2 months. I'm currently following Phil to Furys office. I hope I'm not in trouble, I kinda maybe started a little prank war between the Avengers and myself.

I walk into his office trying to not shit bricks when I see Maria Hill. Honestly she scares me more than Fury. I don't know why and everyone thinks I'm super weird cause I'll talk back and be smart to Fury but i wouldn't dare talk back to Hill.

"You wanted to see me?" I sit down in the empty chair between Phil and Hill.

"Yes. Natasha, Clint and Steve have all been extremely impressed with your improvements. Tony has said that you are finished everything in University level and both him and Bruce think you should start doing academy work. Natasha and Clint also agree. However because of the Hydra threat you are unable to attend the academy, you can however do all the assessments and work from here. If you want to." I sit there for a moment taking everything in.

"I'm down but I actually had a question for you. I was wondering if there could be a possibility of me becoming an actual agent. Like go on actual missions and stuff." I spot Phil smiling

"I told you sir, she's dedicated to the cause." Fury looks to be deep in thought.

"I think we can arrange that, you'll need an SO. Phil i think you would be the best pick for this job along with Natasha and Clint. Please note (Y/N) it is very unusual for someone that has not been through the academy to become an agent. You will have one shot. If you fail you will not have another chance got it?"

"Yes sir 100%, i won't let you down."

"You are dismissed." I walk out and let out a breath that i didnt know i was holding in and go to find the team.

I ran into the lab crashing right into someone and fell to the ground, i look up and see Steve.

"Hey Steven how are ya on this fine fine day." He looks at me weirdly after helping me up and turns around where i see the rest of the team.

"I think (Y/N) is broken." I skip past him.

"Well someones happy" said Tony

"Why yes Anthony i am you wanna know whyyyy." I say as i jump on Clints back. "Yes we do, i also want to know why you are on my back" I've gotten super close with all of them I'm kinda the annoying little sister of the group.

"Because Clinton why not, also your looking at the newest soon to be BEST agent of S.H.I.E.L.D!" Tony slaps me on the back, Clint does this weird little dance nearly making me fall off his back, Steve shakes my hand, Natasha looks at me like i can only imagine a proud big sister would and Bruce just smiles. "Oh Oh Oh wanna know the best part? Nat and Clint get to be my S/O along with Phil! I can't wait!" Clint laughs while dropping me on the ground.

"You haven't started training yet." I shrug my shoulders and continue skipping down the hall and into my room. 

I sit on my bed and pull out a picture and stare at it. It was taken when i was about 3 after my mum gave birth to my youngest brother. It had my mum, my baby brother Jackson, my older sister Skye and myself. My mum died shortly after this was taken, my dad had run off when they found out they were having another kid. He was never really much of a father, drunk 99.9% of the time. When mum died me and my siblings were put in foster care. We all got seperated and the last thing i heard about my remaining family was that Curtis was killed by a foster family that was abusing and neglecting him. That was really all the motivation i needed to join SHIELD. Although it happened 3 years ago its always been the thing that drives me. I want to find the people that killed my brother and kill them, or at least seriously injure them. As for Skye, she would be 20 this year. I havent heard much about her after she aged out of the system. I dont even know if she remembers me, maybe she thinks im dead. She deleted all traces of herself from everywhere so that makes it 10x harder to find her but i am determined. I look up when i hear a know on my door and see Phil watching me.

"Hey AC whats up?" He takes a few steps into my room and sits on the chair beside my bed.

"Just wanted to check in, Whats that you got there?" He points to my photo and i pass it over to him.

"My mum, brother and sister." He examines the photo for a couple seconds then hands it back.

"You never talk about them, we all just kinda assumed you didnt have anyone." I look down for a second before answering.

"Yeah well i mean i guess i dont really. My mum died shortly after the photo was taken from complications. After she died we went into care and all got seperated. My brother Curtis was put into a foster family that wasnt very nice to him. He was 10 when they beat him so much he died. As for my sister Skye, she aged out of the system and bought herself a van. Thats the last i heard before i found out that she had erased everything everywhere about herself. She would be turning 20 this year, 3 months after my birthday. I think about Curtis every day, he was so young he didnt even get to live his life before it got taken away from him. I cant help but feel partly responsible. Im supposed to be his older sister and i didnt even protect him. Thats why i was so keen on joining SHIELD. I want to make sure no one else has to go through that. Even if its in a completely different way. I just want to protect people to make up for not being able to protect him." Phil puts his hand on my shoulder making me look at him.

"It is in no way your fault you couldnt have done anything to help him. We can help you try to find Skye" I nodded and smile

"Yeah I guess. It's alright tho cause this is my motivation. I'm determined to do well at SHIELD. To make you, fury, Hill and the team proud. I also want bragging rights for when I become the best agent SHIELD has ever seen." Phil chuckles and tells me to rest up as we start training tomorrow.

I think about all the opportunities my life is throwing my way and play out different scenarios while I fall asleep.
