" See you all tomorrow. Wake up call is at 9 am." Natasha said since it had been a long day for everyone and that they would need the extra sleep.

Andrea and Leana nodded as they headed into their respective rooms.

Andrea fell asleep quickly once she laid on the bed and woke up at 8. She would wait a little while before getting ready since she still was thinking about the events of yesterday. Andrea was glad she had decided to visit her grandma and that she was safe here on the Helicarrier. She was just worried that HYDRA wasn't going to give up in hurting her.

Leana fell into a restful sleep, for once not having to worry about anyone coming to collect her in the middle of the night. It was what happened when she was "inducted" into HYDRA. She didn't remember what she dreamed about and if it weren't for her body's natural clock, she wouldn't have woken up at 0800.

Andrea took a shower and got dressed , since she wanted to be ready when the wake up call came. She hoped that today would be a good one, since she would be working with Tony and Leana today. Andrea thought again about her abilities and did wonder what they really were.

Leana rolled out of bed and into a low stance, her left leg bent over in a 90 degree angle while her right leg was on the floor, two blades already in her hands. As events came back to her of the previous day, she relaxed and got out of the position and returned the two knives to their place under her pillow. 'I guess Master's trainings are still with me...' she thought before heading to the bathroom in her room. Turning on the shower, she waited for it to get warm before stepping in.

Andrea wished there was a coffee machine in her room but figured it was a good thing there wasn't one , since she did tend to drink too much during projects. She just hoped there was food since she hadn't eaten since lunch yesterday. Andrea looked at the picture of her parents she had put on the small dresser and felt sad. She missed them and wished she tell them she was doing somthing good with her life.

Leana stretched lightly after getting out of the shower and drying out, wondering what today would hold.

Andrea heard a knock on her door and grabbed her computer bag having the feeling she would need it again. She jut hoped it was Steve who knocked on her door.

Natasha had been up since 6 that morning and had finished the paperwork from the day before. She wanted Leana's transition into SHIELD to go smoothly and knew that she would be safe here from her old bosses.

(Dallas Cowboys: 3-3!)

"Andrea, are you awake?" Steve asked through the door, not knowing if she was decent or not. He didn't have to be told it was a bad idea to barge into a female's room unannounced.

Leana opened the door, hoping that someone would be there to lead her to the lunch room. Her stomach was growling at her...

( yay! Detroit Lions are 4-2! )

" I'm awake and am ready to go. Just let me finish with my hair. " Andrea said and finished putting her hair in a messy bun. She didn't want her hair to get in the way while she was working and usually out her hair up like this. Unless she was visiting her grandma or out shopping in a nice area of town. " Sorry about not being ready. I decided at the last minute I wanted my hair up today. "She said feeling a hit embarrassed.

Natasha finished up and went to get Leana. " I apologize for keeping you waiting. Just was finishing up some paperwork that needs to be processed. " She said when she saw Leana in the hall. Natasha knew that both Andrea and Leana would need to stay under SHIELD protection for a while and knew them training to be agents was the best option.

(You're lucky that your team isn't in my crappy division, or a Giants fan...)

"I'm sure Tony won't mind about your hair," he said with a light laugh. "But first, breakfast. I don't care if Tony thinks he can work with just coffee or whatever his caffeinated beverage is, but it isn't healthy," he added before seeing Natasha and Leana in the hall. "Also...try to befriend Leana, okay? I have a feeling that she's actually trying to help us out."

~~~

"It's alright. I'm use to getting around by myself, it's just that..." she said, leaving off the obvious fact that she could easily get lost while in this huge place. And while they were starting to trust her, she had a feeling that there were some places she wasn't allowed entry to yet, not that she blamed them.

" I agree. Though I confess some mornings in just have coffee and graham crackers for breakfast. " Andrea said as they walked toward the lunch room. " I will. I know I'll feel uneasy around her for a while but understand she is on our side now. " She said and hoped that this would go well.

" It's actually quite hard to get lost here. Clint actually tried to get lost on purpose when operations first moved here. " Natasha said with a grin. She just hoped Clint wasn't in the ceiling tiles already today.

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that bit about your breakfast," Steve said as he shook his head. Seriously, what happened to eating a normal breakfast in the morning? Sure it didn't have to be a full course, but at least cereal...right? Though, he was being a little hypocritical seeing as he had to suffice with just food rations while out in the field, but those were different circumstances before nodding when he heard her talk about Leana.

"Really?" Leana asked in surprise about how hard it was to get lost before leaning towards the right as she saw a nerf arrow fly by. "Damn it Clint, give a girl a chance to eat first!" she shouted.

"Clint, it's still a bit to early in the day to torment the new recruits. Aren't there some interns you can practice on?" Natasha said jokingly. " He does this to help train the new recruits, but after a while he gets bored an targets some of the agents. " She added with a grin and thought of the time Clint had decided to target Coulson. She missed Phil and wondered about some of the rumors that had been going around the last few months.

Clint jumped down from his perch in the ceiling. "I could, but where's the fun..." he started saying before moving his head a little to the left as he saw a throwing knife being thrown at his position that embedded itself into the metal behind him. "Not a morning person?" he asked.

"What was your first guess?" Leana deadpanned as she held a second throwing knife in her hand, debating about throwing it or not.

" Alright you two. We better get to the lunch room. Fury wants to meet with Leana after breakfast to brief her on the project she'll be working on." Natasha said.


Andrea was glad that she would be eating breakfast today, since she felt this would be a long day working on that code. She also was looking forward to getting to know Leana, feeling it was better to forgive the woman who had been hired to kill her.

"Project?" Leana asked after retreiving her thrown weapon, curious as to what Natasha meant. As they headed towards the lunch room, the trio met up with Steve and Andrea. Leana just hoped that there wouldn't be any resentment towards her now that she wasn't trying to kill Andrea...

" You'll find out after breakfast. " Natasha said with a grin. Fury had the Avengers on standby in case this artifact became something dangerous like the Tesseract had been. She gave a wave to Steve and Andrea and was hoping it would be fine if they all sat together.

Andrea gave a wave back to Agent Romanov and went back to her cereal. She wanted to tell Leana she didn't hold any resentment toward her and that she was looking for wars to working with her. Andrea just hoped they would be able to make some progress on the artifact.

(episodes leaving a lot of loose ends...unless they're connected somehow (The centipede, the camera eye, Skye and the Rising Tide...and that preview worries me...)

"Fine, be that way," Leana said immaturely as she went to get something to eat for breakfast before sitting with Natasha and Clint...who were conversing with Andrea and Steve. Gulping lightly, she made her way towards them before sitting down. 'You've taken down countless officials, infiltrated the highest prisons...you can deal with one girl. she thought as she headed towards the table.

( I have a feeling they are related somehow. Time will tell. That and the hand from last week. )


" Morning. " Andrea said with a smile when Leana sat down. " Hope you slept well. " She added. Andrea knew that later today she was to start her training to be a SHIELD agent and was slightly nervous. She didn't have many fighting skills , except her knowledge of firearms and karate and knew there was a lot she would need to know.

(hand? I don't remember the hand that you're speaking of...)

"Morning, and I did, thanks" Leana said with a light grin before taking a sip of her morning tea. "What about you Andrea?" she asked, testing the waters. Though by the looks and sound of Andrea's voice, it seemed as if the girl didn't hold a grudge against her. However, only time would tell.

(It was at the end of last weeks episode.)

" I slept good. Was a little disoriented when I woke up, but that usually happens when I'm in a new place. " Andrea said. She still had a worried feeling that the message was more trouble than it deserved and wondered if Tony had heard from his contact about her possible powers yet.

(oh! okay)

"I see..." Leana said with a light smirk. "Better than me at least," she added a few seconds later.

"Hey Charles, it's Tony. I have a favor I need to call in..."

" Good to hear from you Tony. What seems to be the problem?" Charles Xavier asked and wondered if this call had to do with what he knew about an old acquaintance of his.
