—"This is who the fight is with. Not me, not Shield, Loki."—
"How did you find me?" She asked Fury. Her heart was beating out of her chest. If he found her, that means other people like him could find her. And she was guessing that he was a muggle, which means she had exposed herself to the muggle world. 'Nice one, El. I told you not to do it, but you just had to go and be an idiot.'
"I specialize in finding those with extraordinary powers. It's kind of my thing."
His bragging made Elain want to laugh, knowing there were hundreds more wizards and witches that he had no idea about. "Well my thing is helping people, but if you plan on getting in my way, you'll be the one needing saving."
He took a step closer, prompting Elain to take a step back. She couldnt help but notice the eyepatch covering his eye, and wondered what kind of things he had been through that made him lose an eye. "I don't want to get in your way, unless you turn out to be evil. In that case, prepare to get your ass handed to you." He added humorously, but continued. "I saw what you did when that building was on fire. Now, I don't know exactly what your powers are, but you used them for good, so I'll be straight with you. Earth is currently facing an extinction level event, and I need you to come with me to help combat it."
Elain's mind started to spin. This man was Shield, and Shield had the Avengers, which meant Shield had to be the good guys, right? "That sounds like one hell of an adventure, it's a shame I'm going to have to pass." Not only would this give her a front seat ticket straight to Azkaban, the thought of being responsible for something as big as saving the entire world made her want to throw up. One building was fine, she could manage a building. Having the weight of the world on her shoulders, again, did not seem fun at all.
"You have two options, either come with me as a teammate, or as a prisoner."
"Neither of those sound like a lot of fun, so I think I'm just going to wipe your memory instead." She pointed her want to his face instead of his chest, signalling to him that she indeed had the power to do so.
If he was at all fazed by her threat, he made sure not to show it. "I've got about twenty agents out back who are ready to take you in if I don't get back outside soon, so I dont think that would be the wisest idea."
"I could always just take your face." She morphed her face into his and laughed. He had already known about that talent of hers when he had seen the footage of a white man going into the burning building and a black woman come out.
"Listen, time is very precious right now if we want to get ahead of the threat. We don't have time to sit here and argue about whether you are a friend or an enemy. You said you want to help people, and right now there is an egotistical maniac with a space weapon planning on taking over our world. This is who the fight is with. Not me, not shield, Loki." He stated sternly, making Elain lower her wand slightly.
If what he was saying was true, and this man, Loki, was planning on taking over the world with a space weapon, than surely the Ministry would understand if she had to help out. Elain didn't see them being so understanding. Besides, she had just opened herself back up to the wizarding world after the war, wad she ready to dive back into another one?
"If I help you, no one can know who I am. If my people found out I was using magic in front of you, or anyone for that matter, I would be sent to jail. No one can know."
He seemed shocked when she had mentioned the fact that there were more people like her, but took her statement as an acceptance and nodded along.
She took a deep sigh, knowing she would soon regret her decision once she inevitably faces the Ministry, and went to grab her backpack that secretly had all of her potions and supplies in it. Fury turned his head when he got a message over comms, and pulled out his gun.
Elain turned around and pulled out her wand again when he grabbed his weapon, and quickly disarmed him, much to his surprise. Another shield agents walks in through the door with a person in his grasp: Eleanor.
"Let go of her, she's a friend!" Elain demanded, and the agent looked towards Fury for confirmation. When he nodded. the agent let a very frightened looking Elanor out of his grasp.
"Elain, what the hell is going on!?" Eleanor looked around and noticed Fury. "You- You're a part of Shield. And you're a Shield agent." She pointed at the man who brought her in here. She spotted the wand in her friends hand, still up from her defensive stance. "Elain. . . what are you doing with Shield? "How did you just do that?" She asked, pointing at the wand with a worried expression.
Eleanor was her only friend, and now here she was, staring at her with fear in her eyes. Elain found her mouth being closed and couldn't speak. She swallowed the lump that was forming in her throat and said, "Eleanor, please don't be scared. You- You can't tell anyone about this." Great, not only had Elain done magic in front of three muggles, but she terrified her only friend. Just great.
As Eleanor looked like she was on the edge of a breakdown, muttering something about just wanting to watch a movie, Fury took a syringe out of his pocket and stuck it in the girls neck, making her go limp in the soldier's arms. "Were you bluffing when you said you could wipe memories?"
Elain, still too shocked to form coherent sentences, just shook her head. "I- I can't wipe her memory! If i mess up, she could forget everything." Fury thought for a moment before telling the Agent to pick the unconscious girl up and take her to the quinjet.
"What are you doing?!"
"What I have to do to ensure secrecy! You're the one spewing on about how nobody can know. Well, guess what, shes somebody. She's coming with us until we can find a way to wipe her memory."
Elain didn't find it in her to argue, especially since he was right. If they left Eleanor here, she would probably just freak out and tell everyone, and she couldn't have that happening. So, Elain carefully slung her backpack over her shoulder and followed Fury out of her flat. What had she gotten herself into?
