a part time spy

Speaking with Director Fury was always a rather frightening task, and AhRa liked to avoid it at all costs. News and jobs from SHIELD were usually brought to her by various agents, none of whom AhRa really knew by name. There had only been a few times that AhRa had been on the Helicarrier, or any other SHIELD property, and during each of those times, she was being prepped for a rather dangerous mission.

This time was strange, though. Despite his overall intimidating presence, the Director had been almost jovial with AhRa. He was “just checking up on her, personally”. She didn’t believe a word of it, and when she left the conference room, AhRa had planned to tail the director, figure out what he really wanted. 

When she exited the room, though, AhRa found that the hall was not empty as it had been before. A lone figure stood, her brightly coloured hair making her rather distinct. She wasn’t dressed in an agent’s uniform, either.

Shooting a glance over her shoulder to ensure that the Director wasn’t creeping on her, AhRa approached the familiar figure, and proceeded to poke her in the shoulder. “Hiya!”

Lei proceeded to jump a mile high, it seemed, when she was poked after being in her worry zone for so long. She spun around and saw that it was AhRa and nobody that would yell in her face about being on the ship unexpectedly. She smiled and opened her arms out for a hug. AhRa was one of the few agents that she could call a friend. She seemed so nice and friendly towards Lei, even though she knew that Lei was a mutant. 

“‘Ra! Where have you been all my life?” 

"I've been stuck in a pharmaceutical lab taking shifts for lazy coworkers, if that's what you meant," she answered, still grinning. It was always a pleasant surprise to see a friendly and familiar face like Lei's on the Helicarrier. Being in the vicinity of most SHIELD agents always made AhRa a bit irate--and nervous. None of them seemed intent on being friends with AhRa--or at least anything past civil.

Aw, I wish SHIELD was more like the X-Men. I’ll admit that some of the SHIELD agents seem alright…polite enough—but I still have a general dislike for SHIELD agents in general. None of them seem to care that they’re sending someone in with virtually no real training or experience into a dangerous situation… [AhRa pauses for a moment, and quickly moves on, trying not to sound whiny]

Hullo, there!

Lei was bored. It was now the summer holidays and yet she still stayed at the Mansion. She had to. Her mother and father decided that it was for the best that she stayed there. That was nearly six years ago. With her birthday coming up, Lei didn’t know what she should do since she was still living there and studying. She wanted her own life like an apartment and a job. Well technically she had a job, working for SHIELD and what not every so often. 

Speaking of SHIELD, she now knew what she could do to keep her mind off of the boredom. Melding with one of the shadows, she thought of the Helicarrier where she had been several times. Passing through the shadows, she emerged on one of corridors where some of the workers there stared at her strangely. Smiling, she waved at them and started to walk through the corridor like nothing had ever happened. After exploring more of the ship, she heard someone talking. The voice sounded familiar but she couldn’t place it. A wild stab of panic shot through her as she thought of them being able to find her and get her off the ship. She was only bored and wanted something to do or at least someone to talk to.

That sounds pretty cool! It’s a wonderful thing to do, too…I guess I’m glad there are people out there looking out for everyone~

That’s very neat! I majored in biochemistry in university…I think my parents wanted me to be a doctor, too..but that is just too many years of additional schooling… [She laughs sheepishly]

Hullo, there!

Well, [she huffs] excuse me for not having travelled outside this world. But even if my home is not as pretty as yours, there’s always merit in appreciating what is there, seeing the beauty in everything.

I know! Although…a good pair of sneakers always makes me happy~ Especially when they’re so soft and quiet that no one hears me sneaking around!

Ehm...what's a....sadomasochist?

Ah, well, I suppose so….but then again, I might be too lazy~

Though, to be honest, even if my mind belongs in this field…I’m not entirely sure if it’s a field of my choosing…

I do enjoy science, and lab work—but I guess I don’t know if I’d rather being doing something else. I’ve never really had much of a chance to pursue that.

/He doesn’t appear to mind, listening and nodding thoughtfully./

Don’t worry about it too much, Ms. AhRa.  You’re young, intelligent, and have all the time in the world to find the perfect fit.  It takes some people a year out of senior high, takes others a lifetime.

You're very right! [She grins at him] No wonder you're a Captain! You've got quite a bit of wisdom for someone not much older than me~

Well…I guess there are a lot of places here…

[AhRa hesitates for a moment, sensing his irritation. Well, it wasn’t her fault he had such an ego!]
