✵I

✵Cassandra

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I smirk in victory as all my shots are aimed well. I reload my gun and start to aim again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Someone is getting good," I hear a familiar voice. I look at my back and smile. "Phil! How's my favorite guy doing?" I ask as I take off my headset. "Still better Cassandra," he replies.

"Any news on Fury?" I ask as I make my way to the door where Phil is. "No news yet. But he will be all right," Phil lightens up the mood.

We head to the canteen. Phil ordered for me which is kind of him. While I find us a table.

It didn't take long for him to bring the food to me. "I am starving!" I exclaim while Phil just laughs at me. I quickly dig in my food.

"So how's is training?" Phil tries a small talk. "It's getting pretty boring to be honest with you," I admit the truth. Phil lightly chuckles.

"I want to have thrill. Like the one with Fury! That's the thrill," I tell to him. "It's actually thrilling but your still in training," he reminds me which makes me frown. "Soon Cassandra," he cheers me up.

"You're always tell that," I cross my arms. "When will I have my first mission?" I finally asks. "You're not ready," Phil says to be as he eats a spoonful. I huff and decide to finish my meal.

✵

"Hi Cassandra!" Reed, my co-agent trainee, greets me. "Hello," I fakely smile due to the conversation awhile ago. "What's wrong?" he asks. "Nothing," I brush it off.

I tie my hair up and begin to wrap my hands. "Come on. Tell me," he kindly begs me. "No, I won't tell you Reed," I sweetly smile to him. He huffs and says, "I hate you."

"Cassandra!" Harry shouts to me. "Hi! How's the mission?" I ask him. He is one of the top trainee here on S.H.I.E.L.D. He just recently had a mission on New York. "It went well," he replies.

I nod to him and start on punching the bag. Harry holds the bag in place. "So, any mission yet?" he teases. I give the punching bag a double blow.

"Nope. No mission yet," I say through my gritted teeth. I hate talking about it. I always wanted a mission. They always say I am not ready when I am.

I kick the punching bag which cause him to flinch. I huff a laugh. He walks away and apologizes, "Sorry. I shouldn't have teased you."

"Cassandra! I need a sparing partner!" Reed tells me. "Be there in a minute!" I answer him. I face Harry and stick my tongue out to him.

I jog my way to the boxing ring. "You ready," he taunts. I begin to do a foot work. "Ready."

Reed charges a punch which I blocked easily. I smirk and did a upper cut. He backs up as he was stunned by my move.

After he was okay, he punches me on my left cheek. I hiss in pain. I punch his chest which makes him groan, before I kick him in the stomach. He falls down not so gracefully in the floor.

He sweep his legs on my feet, luckily I jumped to ignore his move. I grab his leg and pin him down the floor.

"Okay! Okay! You win!" Reed surrenders. He taps my arm. I immediately let him go. "I... win..." I breathe out. "I know," Reed pants.

I sit up and stand up. I offer my hand to Reed which he quickly accepts. "Better luck next time," I encourage him. He smiles weakly at me.

"Agent Knights," a familiar voice interrupts. I look at the source and it made me immediately smile. "Agent Fury!" I exclaim as I run to him.

"How are you doing Cassandra?" he smiles at me. "Doing great Fury," I answer.

"I would like to invite you to dinner."

✵

Me and Agent Fury is at the car, on the way to the venue of our dinner. "Where is this place Fury?" I finally ask. I tried to contain myself from asking him. He might think I am impatient. Which I actual am.

"Cassandra, you will be thrilled to see who is joining us," he hints me. "Ooooh, some is going to join us!" I say in excitement. Fury just laughs.

We stop by my pilot mentor, Maria Rambeau's house and I quickly notice a girl standing in the door way. After I get out of the door, I immediately walk to the girl. When I got near, I smiled.

"Hi!" I greet and the girl smiles, "Hello Cassandra. Fury told me a lot of thing about you." "Hopefully it's all good things."

"We haven't been formally introduced. I am Carol, Carol Danvers," she offers her hand. "Cassandra, Cassandra Knights," I gently shake her hand.

"What's the food? I am starving," Fury says as he walks to us. "You'll see," says Carol. We walk in the house. I see a woman with a child on her side.

"Hi! I am Maria Rambeau and this is my daughter, Monica," the woman jokes. "Stop playing around," I quickly embrace Maria. "Oh I miss you Cassandra."

A pair of arms slowly wraps my legs. "Auntie Cassandra!" Monica, Maria's daughter, exclaims and I quickly carry her. "Lieutenant Trouble!"

Carol goes near me and says, "Cassandra, I have superpowers." I give her a seriously look. Her hand suddenly lights up. I widen my eyes and look at her.

"It was given by the tesseract explosion. I was taken my an alien species called the Kree. Kree are actual the enemy and the Skrulls are the good guys," Carol explains and I look at her in confusion. "So what are Skrulls?" I ask.

"Skrulls are shape shifting aliens," Fury answers and I look at him. "You know this too?" He nods.

"So you have powers because of the tesseract explosion and you were captured by the Kree. Kree is actual the bad guy and the Skrulls are good?" I try to understand and Carol nods. "She is a fast learner," she tells Fury and Fury pats my back.

"She is one of the best trainees."
