✵Cassandra

I knock on the door of Yon-Rogg. I am dressed in my training attire which is a sports bra and a black leggings.

"Come in," I hear the soft voice of Yon-Rogg. I go in and see him all dressed in his training attire. He is wearing a white shirt with some lose joggers. The shirt shows me his muscles. STOP IT CASSANDRA!!!

"Are you ready?" I ask and he nods in reply to my question. We walk our way to the training hall.

"How is your sleep?" I decided to break the ice. "I slept well last night," he answers me. I nod in understandment.

"What's your favorite color?" I try to get to know him again. He breathes in. "You aren't giving up, aren't you?" he says in a irritated voice tone. I bow my head and mumble, "Sorry."

On the way to the training hall is very quiet. I decided not to push him further. "Yellow," he says out of know where before we go in the gym. I tilt my head in confusion. "Yellow is my favorite color," he explains which make me smile.

"What is your favorite color?" he asks me which takes me by surprise. "Blue," I quickly answer him and he smiles. A genuine smile.

"Knights!" I hear Reed calling me. I wave to him as he jogs to me. "Who is this?" he asks and I answer, "A new trainee. Fury says I need to help him out."

He offers his hand to Yon-Rogg and says, "Welcome to S.H.E.I.L.D." Yon surprisingly grabs his hand and shake it. "Thank you," he says.

"How about we spar, huh Knights," Reed taunts me but I shake my head. "I have to help Yon-Rogg out," I explain. "Nuh, he will me fine about it. Right Yon-Rogg?" Reed tells to Yon and he says, "It is fine to me." I sigh in defeat.

I begin wrapping my hands with the cloth. Reed jumps happily and also begin to prepare. I go to the ring and wait for Reed. I look at Yon-Rogg and mysteriously see a worried expression. I wink at him in comfort.

"You ready Cassandra?" Reed says to me. I did a foot work before saying, "Ready." He charges with a punch but I kick his side first. He lets out a groan. I dance with him for awhile.

He charges a kick but I dodge it with ease. I look at Yon and smirk. Which cause Reed to come to me and did a double punch, one punch caught me in the jaw. I hiss in pain.

"Cassandra!" I hear Yon's faint voice. I charge with a punch but he upper cuts my jaw this time. I fall to the ground. I feel dizzy from the punch

Yon-Rogg runs to my side and says, "You can do this Cassandra." I nod and quickly stand up. I charge again but this time, I wrap my legs around Reed's neck before flipping him to the corner of the ring.

Reed weakly stands up. He runs to me and sweep my legs. I fall with my head first in the ground. I shout in pain.

He walks to me but I kick his stomach which cause him to fall. I immediately run to him and twist his arm. "I surrender," Reed hisses to me. I let him go.

We both stand up. "I almost got you," he says and I explain, "I was just distracted. But I still win." He hugs me and say, "Til' next time Knights."

"You did great Cass," Yon says to me. "Cass?" I ask with a smile. "It's a nickname. Don't you like it?" Yon asks. "I like," I admit.

Something is off with him, he seems kinder. What happened?

✵

"So you mean you are the undefeated champion among the new trainees?" Yon tells me and I nod in reply. "That is so awesome," he comments which makes me giggle. We are now heading to the cafeteria.

"Cassandra," I hear the voice of Phil. "Phil," I greet back and embrace him. "Who is this guy?" he examines Yon. "This is Yon-Rogg, a new trainee," I introduce. "Yon, this Agent Phil Coulson," I tell him.

"Nice to meet you, Yon Rogue?" Phil says which makes me silently giggle. "It's Yon-Rogg, Agent Coulson," Yon corrects. "My apologies."

"Where do you come from?" Phil asks which cause me to freeze. "He comes from New York," I say in one breath. Phil looks at me with concern. "Are you alright? You look tensed," Phil points out. "Me! No! I am not tensed!" I deny with a weird tone on my voice.

"Yon-Rogg, how is Cassandra? Is she good or bad at teaching?" Phil asks which cause me to huff. Yon laughs. "She is a excellent person and as a teacher. She knows her agendas well," Yon tells Phil which cause me to smile. He thinks I am a excellent person.

"Cassandra is one of a kind," he compliments me. I blushed like a tomato. "She is," Phil agrees with him. "I must go. Nice meeting you Yon-Rogg," he shakes Yon's hand. "Hope to see you around. You too Diana."

Yon-Rogg looks at me and teases, "You will look cute as a tomato." I slap his arm hardly. "I hate you," I huff and walk away.

"Wait up Cass!"
