✵III

✵Cassandra

"Because you don't know what is right. I am willing to show you that," I say with determination. He scoffs. "Wow," he says sarcastically.

I sigh and offer my hand saying, "Let's go." "Not so fast," Carol interrupts. "I want to talk with Yon-Rogg first," she states. I nod in reply. Me and Fury walk outside the shack.

"I hope you do this mission well Agent Knights," Fury says in a serious tone. "I will Agent Fury. I won't let you down," I promise him.

"You are just a trainee. I was suppose to give this to Harry, but Carol tells me to choose you," Fury shares with me. I was disappointed. I thought he trusted me. But instead, he wanted Harry to do this.

"I am just kidding Cassandra," he smiles at me. "What?" I furry my brows. "You were the first person I think about this mission," he rephrases. "Carol didn't choose me?" I ask to make it clear. "We both choose you for this mission," he explains.

"Why do you think about me for this mission?" I curiously ask. I want to know why me. Of all the agents, why me.

"You are a great person," he answers and I blink for a few times. A great person? "How that a great person will be fit for this mission?" I demand an answer. "Cassandra, you should now that a great person defeat all other people. Remember that," he tells me.

Carol goes outside with a grumpy looking Yon-Rogg by her side. I mentally laugh at the sight. "Can I talk to you too Cassandra?" Carol asks and I agree by nodding my head.

I walk in and sit on a small chair. "What do you want to speak off?" I ask her. "I just want to tell you to keep Yon-Rogg off any communication device. He might actual contact Ronan," she warns.

"Who is Ronan actual?" I ask a question. "Ronan controls the Kree army. He can destroy this planet if he can," she explains. I nod in understandment. "I will not let him hold my communication device. I promise," I oath to her. She nods.

"Please take care of him," Carol holds my hands and squeeze it. She is so concern to him. "Is he your boyfriend?" I ask out of curiosity. She snorts a laugh. "No. He is just my close friend Cassandra. Oh my gosh," she slap my arm playfully.

"For real?" I ask and she gives me a dead look. I raise my hand in defense. "He is the one who decided to keep me. I owe him my life," she explains further. "Ohh... I am so sorry," I apologise and she laughs, "It's okay."

"Seriously though, take care of him," she states in a serious tone. I playfully salute and she playfully slaps my arm. "Let's go," she says as we walk outside the shack.

I look at Yon-Rogg and smile. I grab his hand and squeeze it in comfort. "Everything will be alright," I convince him. He looks at me with no expression. We make our way to Fury's car.

Me and Yon-Rogg sit at the back while Fury is at the driver seat. "So..." I try to have a small talk. "What's your favorite color?" I ask him and he just huffs, which make me frown.

"What is your favorite soup? Mine is mushroom soup," I smile at him but he just ignores. I sigh in defeat.

I suddenly feel my eyelids are getting heavy. I yawn and close my eyes. Before I drifted to sleep, I fall into someone's shoulder.

"Cassandra. We are here already," a soft voice wakes me up. I look into the person and see a pair of yellow eyes. "Yon?" I mumble.

"Yon?" he asks in confusion. I sit down properly and explain, "It's a nickname." "What's a nickname?" he questions. "It is what a person close to you calls you," I explain. "We are not close," he points out and I look at him. "Not yet close. Not yet."

I hop off the car and stretch my body. "I assigned Yon-Rogg to stay beside your quarters. Specifically, at the right," Fury informs me and I nod in understandment. "I left some clothes on his room. Just help him settle in."

I look at Yon-Rogg and offer my hand. "Let's go," I say and he just walks past me. I pull my hand back and look at Fury. He tries to contain a laugh. I roll my eyes at him.

I catch up to Yon-Rogg. "Do you know where are you going?" I ask and he stops. I stiffle a laugh. "This way," I show him the way.

"Cassandra!" someone calls my name. I look at my back and see Harry. "Harry!" I greet back. He embraces me. "I didn't see you tonight. I was worried," he tells me. "I went out with Agent Fury," I explain.

Suddenly, I hear someone clearing his throat. I look at Yon-Rogg and smile. "Who is this guy?" Harry asks and I go to Yon. "He is a new trainee here on S.H.I.E.L.D. I am in charge of his agendas," I explain.

He looks at Yon sharply before saying to me. "I must go. See you tomorrow Cassandra," he kisses my forehead. "Goodnight Harry," I bid farewell.

"Let's go?" I as Yon-Rogg and he just completely ignores me. What is wrong with him?

We stop on his room. "This is your room. Fury assigned it next to mine. I stay on the left side of your room," I inform him and he huffs. What has gotten into him?

I unlock the room and we both go in. I walk to the bed and grab the clothes that are cleanly placed. "Here are your clothes. You can change at the bathroom," I tell him and he grabs the clothes.

After a while, Yon-Rogg goes outside the bathroom. "Do you need anything else?" I ask and he sits beside me. "I am fine," he says in a harsh tone.

"Well, if you are fine now. I must go and rest too. I will come here at the morning," I inform him and he nods his head. "Goodnight Yon." I walk to the door and begin closing it.

"Goodnight Cassandra..."
