The Red Thistle

Next Morning

When I awoke I was lying on my bed in my flat in Glasgow. It was a normal sized bedroom, not huge but not the size of a cupboard. I looked at the green wallpaper that had large blue flowers with silver stems intertwining with each other. I looked over to my vintage chest of drawers then at my mirror on the wall. I saw that I was in my true form, dark red hair hair ( my natural colour) at my shoulders, big blue eyes that shine a mint green in bright lights, my pale skin that has no hint of tan to it ( I just burn in the sun when there is any sun!), my freckles that cover my small nose where still there. I realised that I was still in my red thistle suit, I jumped over to my wardrobe and put on a pair of navy jeans and red checked shirt. When I was buttoning up the last button I heard that I wasn't alone,

"How was I meant to tell her?" I heard inspector Johnstone speaking, he usually gives me my missions. Why is he here?

"Well you could of told her how you told S.H.E.I.L.D about her!" I heard the guy I saw yesterday in the blue suit. Wait. Why is he here?!

"Caps right you could of said 'hey Mel here's you mission by the way I gave a secret agency your information so you can join them." it was the metal guy, wait what's S.H.E.I.L.D?

"You saw yesterday how difficult it is to talk to her when she is busy." Johnstone snapped, there was a moment of silence between them. "So what will happen to her?" he asked at long last. Finally now I can find something out.

"Well S.H.E.I.L.D watch her as she worked on that fake mission you gave her which you were meant to tell her was fake by the way." WHAT?! THE MISSION WAS FAKE?! HOW COULD THEY?! I listened as metal guy continued,

"Anyway. They want her to join the avengers as we are called. She will come to New York with to their HQ and will be in protection as well as protect the earth." I couldn't take it anymore, I opened my door.

" And if I refuse?" I asked them, my bedroom is next to the living room so I know they could see me. The three of them were sitting on my couch and looked at me. The metal guy didn't have his suit on, he had dark brown messy hair that suck up, he had brown eyes and wore a sabbath t shirt with some navy jeans. The star chest guy still had his suit on but he had taken off his helmet which showed his what I would assume was usually well kept blonde hair that right now was ruffled, he had crystal blue eyes had you couldn't look away from. He gave me a small smile as I walked round the couch to face them. The metal guy gave an irritated sigh, I cross my arms waiting to hear his response.

"Then we'll take you kicking and screaming to S.H.E.I.L.D." he stated with a smirk, "Your making a great first impression you know." I smirked, I saw that star chest guy liked my joke for he was trying to suppress his smile.

"And also I don't even know you both are so.." I stated, the metal guy raised his eyebrows,

"You don't recognize me? I'm Tony Stark." He said as if I would gasp in shock at his name. I raised one eyebrow,

"As in CEO of Stark enter prize. No? Really?" I shook my head,

"Really? Well then you must of heard of Iron Man." He smiled, I never heard that name either. His grin quickly swapped to shock. I saw star chest was finding this extremely funny but was trying to hide it. Interesting,

"I don't pay much attention to international news." I explained, I never really have time to look at that type of news, I'm too busy saving my own country to research others. I turned my attention to the star chest guy.

"And you are?" I asked, He gave a smile.

"Steve Rogers or to the public Captain America." He shook my hand. I smiled back,

"Well now that I know who you are. I want to see this file Inspector Johnstone sent you."

"How do you?" Started Steve,

"Am I the only one who read the file?" Stark asked in disbelieve. Johnstone merely laughed to himself,

"Don't know why your laughing Johnstone. I've got a bone to pick with you." I told him,

"Now Miss Thistle I thought I said either call me inspector or inspector Johnstone." I merely smirked,

"You gave away my personal information." I told him,

"To help save the world." He added,

"Let me see the file then I'll decide to start shouting and screaming." I joked, Stark passed me an iPad. I slid it open and a hologram of a file appeared in front of me. let's see what Johnstone wrote.

Full Name: Melody Jane Thistle

Agent Name: Red Thistle

D.O.B: 13.11.91

I didn't care about what the rest of the file said. I locked the iPad then handed it back to Stark.

"Give me the day to pack my stuff and I'll come quietly." I told them, Stark gave a small sight.

"fair enough." Stark shrugged, all three men stood up and headed for the door, as they left Steve turned back round to face me.

"We'll be back at 6. That enough time?" he asked,

"More than enough." I answered he grinned then left. I let out a long sigh. I then heard my stomach growl. Well might as well go out to breakfast. I wonder if my neighbour Mason is in? I want to at least say goodbye to him.
