Recruit

Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Natasha introduces me to quite a few agents, but one sticks out in particular, Agent May. She's a tough looking Asian woman in her thirties or forties. Her and Nat seemed to know something I didn't because they kept look at me, then each other and smiling and sliver of a smile.

May assures that throughout my whole 'I'm not dead, and I do exist' speech, she'll have my back. I guess a lot more people hate my late dad, and thus me, than I thought. But I've got the worlds most elite team as backup. Nat says I've got an hour to figure out what I'm going to say, so I decide to let Cas and Dean out just before then. Meanwhile, I get strange looks and whispers that follow me.

The person that Clint wanted me to meet is a large blonde man. He sits at one of the tables in the corner and is the voice that boomed across the space every so often. The man goes by 'Thor, Son of Oden." and calls me 'Lady Keegan'. Thor is the Asgaurdian that fought in New York. I remember him from one of the files I read from Stark.

No matter how much I insist he just call me Keegan, there's always a 'Lady' tagged in front. But then he calls Natasha over and she's got one too. A kind woman how introduces herself as Jane Foster sits next to Thor, and a spunky dark haired girl named Darcy next to me.

We converse until Natasha give me the fifteen minute warning, time to get the boys. Steve joins me, offering to kick the door down. When we do I find Cas looking ashamed and Dean likes cried. None the less, they nod, they've made up. Wordlessly, I leave to deliver my hardly thought out presentation.

Tony clambers up to a raised stage that wasn't there before, I suppose it was built into the floor.

"Ladies, gentlemen, agents. Agent Keegan Matthews." I take a deep breath and step up while Baby waits on the edge of the stage.

"Hello everyone. You probably don't know me, or don't know you know me. I'm a rumor around here, and the rumors confirmed, I guess. I am the daughter of Agent Joseph Matthews, who brought the whole new level of strange to Shield years ago. I am elated to be here tonight, getting to meet his co-workers and friends. I never new about my dads Shield life, so forgive me if I don't know who you are when you recognize me." With that, I step down into a silent and stunned crowd.

My goal is to walk down to Natasha and join her. The only thing to be heard is Thors eating off to the side. A path is cleared for me to get to my destination. With a hot face and knot in my throat, I get to Natasha without tripping or faltering.

"Well, Keegan, we're so glad to have you back where you belong. With that everyone. We will be wrapping up soon, but be back tomorrow at seven for the public, formal dinner." Steve announces this time.

I'm glad when they're gone, a few people stop on the way out and talk to me. Tell me about my fathers other life, it seems he lead so many. One person in particular, shook my hand extremely hard and gave me the coldest look.

The very last person out saw me and started screaming. Screaming about how my dad was a monster, and it runs in blood. Screaming that we ruined Shields integrity. Screaming at me to die.

As the crazed man gets close, I don't move, I merely meld into his mind and shoot unconsciousness into him like the soldiers. He drops and Natasha lowers her gun, as well as Sam, Dean, Steve and Clint. They throw the, almost half awake man, now that they've shaken him up, into the elevator.

"Not what I expected."

"Where's Kevin? And Cas?" Sam asks.

"Cas took off." Dean frowns.

Then Sam and Dean set off to find Kevin. I set off to find my room and change. I feel like it's too early for pajamas so I put on jeans and a long sleeved, two toned, Under Armor shirt.
