Chapter 9: Ch. 6 Telling Someone(2)
"..." Speaking
'...' thoughts
[...] system
Hello everyone, as you can see someone has helped me figure out a sort of flaw, if you're a fast reader(like me), you sometimes misread something, and after looking back it could be easy to misinterpret the system as thoughts, so hopefully you all enjoy the writing, I'm (hopefully) getting better at it, anyway enjoy the continuation of Telling Someone.
----------------------------------------------------
Katerina, Coulson, and Fury were all sitting in Fury's office while it was in lockdown mode, meaning no one but them was hearing Katerina's "explanation" of where the Symbiotes came from. Fury sat looking at Katerina as if she was hiding something further but after a minutes of contemplation he decided not to ask and move on to other things, "Listen, while I don't entirely trust you yet, I can't have you out there possibly scaring the public while you're untrained" he reaches under a desk and pulls out a folder labeled "The Avengers Initiative" and places it infront of Katerina, "now miss Barton it would seem that you fit for my category of enchanted people, which means I would like to invite you to a sort of...hm top secret group who fights against the weirdness of the world, and beyond apparently based on you're suit. Now you don't have to decide right now but I would like to make sure you're trained enough before going out into the world, I say this cause I know you saved Stark so for whatever reason you seem to have a hero side"
Katerina say there looking at the folder, to anyone else it looked like the was lost in the thought, really she was talking to her system, 'system what would you say? Is it safe for me to join?' [While I can neither confirm nor deny hosts question, I would say it is the current best option, host needs practice to host current/future abilities. As of right now it is dangerous due to the lurking threat of Hydra, and normally I would advise against changing the "script" early, it might be needed for host to have a safe training environment] Katerina sat there for a few more minutes before exhaling and putting on a more serious face, "Before I can accept that I think you should know one of my innate abilites is to see certain parts of the future, hence how I knew about Stark, I knew you were curious but didn't wanna pry but not only do I need one hundred percent you're trust, but you need mine as well, so I'm gonna say this and try not to go storming off for answers cause you'll be kicking a big fire nest if you do. Understand?"
Fury sat there looking between Katerina and Coulson, finally he made a decision, "Motherfucker! So you're another mutant? Sigh at least you seem to be on the good side for whatever reason, anyway about the trust, while I never trust easily, I'll trust you enough to listen to you're words and advice" Katerina nodded but didn't refute about the Mutant part seeing it as a perfect excuse, but she was also freaking out on the inside cause it means this is a marvel AU situation but she calmed down upon realizing something, 'since this is an AU we don't have to follow the script, we can deviate, while there might be trouble at some point cause of this right now it's much to needed for training' Katerina looked at Coulson then back at Fury, "Fury while I can't see or say to much about the future I see, and considering it's ever changing, some things might happen that's gonna make you unsure of who to trust, and right now I know that list of who to trust" Fury narrowed is eye at Katerina's blatant hint, "Miss Barton, if you tell me something like shields compromised them please say you're wrong, I have worked to damn hard and to damn long for shield to be compromised" Katerina tilted her head slightly with a raised eyebrow basically saying "wanna bet" which Fury noticed, "Motherfucker!! You're telling me shield Is actually compromised?! By who?"
Katerina what about to say then stopped, and after some thinking she spoke up, "Like I said, I know who you can trust down the line and who you can't, as for who infiltrated...well whose head do you cut off and two more take its place?" Fury's eye widened at the hint, ""MOTHERFUCKER!! Hydra!? They were wiped out, how are they back?" Katerina looked at Coulson who had an uncomfortable face, which is understandable upon learning you're enemy wasn't dead yet, "Fury, Hydra never died, they just went into hiding while causing mass chaos around the world. Before you think of going to Alexander Pierce, I suggest you check his background first" Fury had a confused look for a minute before he finally connected the dots, "You're saying Alexander Pierce, the guy who gave me this position, is actually hydra in hiding? Although considering you're innate gift I have not many reasons to refute, but to give me more trust into you're visions tell me what he plans"
Katerina took a breath as this would truly net her status at being someone who can see the future, but she needed it to be done because when she started talking about it she received a request,
[Ding! Before they can grow a head! Root out all hydra and make shield more safe before project insight occurs]
[Rewards for completing are as follows: 2 abilities, 1 Rare *****, 1 New system function, and 2 items]
Katerina was very curious about the new function and the hidden reward so it was now or never, "Fury, while I understand you're loyalty to Pierce, I have seen him controlling Project Insight before you even have a chance to stop it, and then theres the fact that in the future I saw he also sent people to kill you sooo" Fury was obviously at a loss of words but what came next was what Katerina was waiting for, "Miss Barton, the fact that you know about Project Insight really does mean you can see the future, but the fact Pierce not only tries to kill me but also uses Insight is very worrying. What do you suggest we do?" Katerina was thinking back to the movies and all the faces she seen at hydra, thanks to not only her Symbiote but also some skills she finally memorized the faces, "Fury I know at least most the faces especially the higher up faces, give me a few hours to find them in one of you're agents books and I'll point them out"
And so the next few hours Katerina pointed out the hydra agents to Coulson and Fury, finally with the last one being pierce they all sat back in the chairs with an exhale, "Miss Barton, I truly thank you for helping me figure this out, while this list is a massive some of agents, I'm sure we'll clean house and be right as rain again, but I'm thinking that shield will he renamed, as to what I'm not sure yet but for now I suppose it's safe to start working to fix this place from any hydra influence"
Katerina gave Fury a look as if saying that's not all, which Fury returned with his eye narrowing, "Fury you remember the World War 2 hero? Lost time? Basically what I'm saying is I know where Captain America is" Katerina slides Fury a location she wrote down a while ago before coming to shield, it's not the exact location but its damn close based on her memory, "If this location is truly where he is, then we're about to have a huge help in fighting hydra, for now though Coulson will take you back home, I'm sure you're parents are worried. Also I think you're father will wanna talk to you" Katerina just nodded and the began to follow Coulson as Fury lifted the lockdown to his office, on the way she was curious about something, 'hey system, am I banned from telling people about you? It's just, I may have recently been reincarnated into this world but the story that was created for me has integrated and I know all of my passed, from being very young to my recent awakening. I just wanna know what you're thoughts are on me telling about my system and if I'm able'
[While I cannot ban you from telling people about the system, I do caution restraint on doing so cause you may not know what happens. Also remember that you're father does get controlled by an Asgardian later] Katerina nodded while lost in thought, eventually they made it into Coulson's classic Red Corvette. once inside Coulson looked over making sure Katerina was secure, upon seeing so he started up the car and switched to flying mode, upon seeing her indifferent face he furrowed his brows, "Normally people would be surprised on seeing a flying car" Katerina looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "didn't Fury tell you, I own a flying car, well I, I sold it to start and plan to help him understand how to make them, also they run on clean rercources rather than gas. It took me a few days to figure out the change but once I did it took water instead of fuel, it slightly burnt through it faster but at the same time it was cleaner" Coulson's eyes widened in realization, he had heard about someone in a flying car other than his but he didn't know who.
While flying through the air Katerina had a thought, 'system how many sign ins have I accumulated? Also is there any quests to be redeemed?'
[Affirmative, you currently have 1 unclaimed quest, claiming now, you have gained 10 sign ins]
[Host has currently 18 Sign ins, would host like to use any?]
Katerina thought for a minute and then realized where she was, 'no I'll wait until I'm in a more, secure, location'
Katerina noticed the sun was slowly going down which means It'd be night soon, she positioned herself in a more comfortable position and closed her eyes with a soft sigh, Coulson looked over and shook his head, 'even with her strength and Symbiotes she's still just a kid, I hate to think the burden we are putting on her shoulders, and on top of that Agent Barton will have to tell his daughter that he works for shield which I'm not even sure if she knows or not, either way this day has been a lot for her and she really needs proper rest when she gets home' with that thought Coulson started flying more smoothly trying to make sure the slight turbulence wouldn't wake her.

(BAM END OF THIS CHAPTER)
I still have one more continuation of this chapter but I don't know if I'll write it sooner or later haha!
What do you guys think about telling her father? Obviously it'd be after the whole Loki incident.
And before anyone asks, sadly no I will not be writing the whole New York bit, just doing slight things here and there so please try not to be to upset!
Also what do guys think of the new writing way? If you got any tips for writing better please let me know!
