" What? All I was going to say was that I talked to my contact this morning. "Tony said in self defense." And it does involve Andrea and the abilities that she has." He added.
" Who is your contact?" Andrea asked hoping that it was who she thought it was. " He'll be fine. As long as Rogers is there he'll behave." Fury said with a slight grin. |
"Really?" Natasha asked with a hint of skepticism. Then again, Steve did have a somewhat positive effect on the man...
"I'm not sure I understand," Leana said, slightly confused. Why would Tony Stark, often times compared to Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen, try to behave around Captain Steve Rodgers? Steve raised an eyebrow at what Tony said. "Contract?" he asked, wondering what, or who, Tony was talking about. |
" Professor Xavier is the person I called about Andrea's abilities. He said her mom was able to predict the future and had telepathic tendencies. But he did say he didn't know why Anne surrpressed her abilities. He also wants to meet with you Andrea when you are able to. " Tony said and saw the look on Andrea's face.
" So that does mean I am a Mutant. " Andrea said feeling a bit shocked. Though it did make sense to her that she was one but didn't understand why she was getting her powers now. "I think even someone like Tony Stark has a hero. " Fury said. |
"But as I said before, that doesn't mean anything to me," Steve said. Just because Andrea was in fact a mutant, it didn't change the fact that Andrea Carpenter was still Andrea Carpenter and Steve told her as such. "As long as you don't abuse your abilities Time Lord, then I don't think anybody here on this ship will have a problem with you kiddo."
"Anything's possible," Natasha said with a light shrug. |
" I promise won't abuse my abilities. You've seen Doctor Who? Then I won't worry too much about you not getting some of the references. " Andrea said with a grin . Though she did wonder if it was possible if Steve or her grandma had actually met the Doctor. She still wasn't entirely convinced he was a fictional character considering she had read some of her grandma's old files and one of them seemed a bit too much out of a Doctor Who episode.
"Leana if you agree would yo be interested in eventually becoming a SHIELD agent ? We always can use people with your skills. "Fury asked. He would ask Andrea of she was interested also since it would be better if both women stayed under SHIELD's protection for a while. |
"I caught a few episodes here and there while catching up on the times. I haven't seen all the Doctors...yet, but I plan on rectifying that eventually, so I may ask you to explain some of the references" Steve said while lightly scratching the back of his head. "And knowing Tony here, he could probably use the Sonic Screwdriver better than the Doctor himself could," he added glad that Andrea wouldn't think of abusing her powers.
"You want me to be a SHIELD agent?" Leana asked, surprised. Granted she knew that it would benefit her greatly to be working as a SHIELD agent, especially since she couldn't easily be targeted by her former group...not as easily anyways. |
" I defiantly will. To be honest I haven't seen all of them either. "Andrea said since she hadn't seen much of the older series since they were hard to find on DVD or not posted on Netflix anymore.
"I'm sure I could use it better. Now all I need to do is figure out how to make one that works." Tony said with a grin. He admitted that it would come in handy when working on his suits. " I do. You and Andrea will be training together since you both are new recruits. I know Natasha and Clint will help you both get trained." Fury said . He was glad that Leana had been cooperating. |
"Wow...Can I...Can I have some time to think it over?" Leana asked.
|
" Of course. I'll keep you all up to date with the HYDRA situation if I hear anything. " Fury said. He knew Coulson and his team were on the tail of a HYDRA agent and anything they could find out would be good.
|
"Thank you," Leana said as Natasha nodded.
|
" Notify me once progress is made on the artifact. " Fury said and then dismissed them. He had to check in on a few more things before meeting with the Council.
|
"Yes sir!" Natasha said with a grin on her face.
Andrea grinned lightly. "So you really think you can create a sonic screwdriver?" she asked curiously as she looked over the information once more. Though this time she spotted something different. Tony...what's that?" she asked as she pointed a finger at what looked like the Avengers logo. |
" I think I can. That looks like someone's way if telling us they know about the Avengers. " Tony said and flagged that section of information. " Though that could be a good thing. Since our enemy knows about us he'll have high expectations about the fight. And we'll sure as Hell make sure we don't disappoint. " He added wanting to know knew about them other than Loki.
|
"Maybe it's part of the key to break the code?" Andrea asked, curiously. Especially since it was just now that they were finding the symbol.
|
"Good thinking. That is a good possibility. Lets see if it is a key to the code. " Tony said.
|
Andrea nodded at that.
|
"So here we are, Would you like me to stay with you while you are here or do you think you can handle Tony on your own?" Natasha said once they arrived to the lab.
|
"I'm sure I can handle him...he may be an inventor, but take away the inventions and he's just a man," Leana responded. "But thanks for the offer"
|
"Alright. See you later." Natasha said with a smile.
Andrea was working on the code trying to piece together a few broken fragments. To her this seemed intentional and that in order to figure out what all these symbols meant. |
"I'll see you later" Leana said before entering the lab.
|
" Hey Leana. " Andrea said with a smile when she saw the other woman enter. Andrea needed to take a short break since she could feel the stress building. She had a feeling all this stress had awakened her dormant mutant powers and didn't know what would happen if they grew.
|
"Hey Andrea, Anthony," Leana said with a light grin as she entered the lab.
|
Hey Leana. There's a free computer right next to Andrea. We also have plenty of coffee. " Tony said and had a feeling he should do something about lunch for these ladies. If it was just him, he would just have a energy drink but he figured that food would be better.
|
"Thanks. What do I need to do?" she asked, hoping that Tony would catch her up to speed.
|
" Try and piece together these bits of code and symbols. Some of it even seems to be radio transmissions from 30 years ago." Tony said. He had a feeling that someone out in space was trying to warn them the best they could.
