Kick-dodge- shift weight-
"Ugh" I grunted as I was punched in the jaw
"Pick it up Kendra you can do better."
I spit out some blood.
My opponent throw another punch. I grabbed his fist, twisted it, got in close and elbowed him in the left ribcage. My opponent gagged as I kicked his feet out from underneath him. He fell onto the mat and I put my foot on top of his throat.
"Time!" Ward called. I left the ring and walked to get an ice pack from the bench.
"Welcome to your first day to the S.H.I.E.L.D Academy where a thirteen year old can kick your ass any day." Ward said to the new recruits who had been watching me fight the unfortunate volunteer.
I sat on the bench with an ice pack on my jaw waiting for Ward to tell me I could go.
This summer Fury had decided it would be best if I help out/ review at the S.H.I.E.L.D Academy. After the first two weeks the teachers realized there wasn't much they could teach me. It mostly turned into the teachers using me to humiliate the cocky students. Except Ward. He had just graduated himself and sometimes gave me little tips.
"You can go Kendra." Ward informed me. He had set all the other students to work and walked over to me.
"Alright." I replied as I grabbed my bag.
"When are you leaving for school?" He asked me.
"In two weeks." I replied. He nodded in thought. I stood up and almost left, but something stopped me. A question that no one had given me an honest answer to.
"Sir, do you know why I was sent here?" I asked slowly. Ward regarded me for a moment.
"I wasn't told why you came here. But, I think it was to train you in a unsheltered setting. After driving seven tutors away in one week. The higher ups must have thought some time in the real world was needed.
He said coldly.
I nodded and left.

Later that week I was sitting in one of the many break rooms with Dad. A few other agents were in the room, but not many. I was thinking about what Ward had said earlier. I knew it wasn't just that. Something was happening here at S.H.I.E.L.D no one was telling me about.
Mom had left for a mission and was supposed to be back two days ago. Apparently she had been reassigned half way through the mission. Dad was leaving to go to a secret research facility. Coulson and Maria were already there. Before they left, I had overheard Maria and Coulson whispering about Avengers or something.
"In other news, the manhunt for Sirius Black has spread from London to the border of America."
The news anchor said through the T.V. Harry had written about it to me. Sirius Black was wizard who killed thirteen people. He had broken out of Azkaban two weeks ago.
"Dad,"
"Yes Kendra."
"If you and mom will both be gone as of tomorrow, how will I get my school supplies and go to kings crossing?" I inquired.
"Fury and I were discussing that an hour ago. We will have an escort you to the the entrance to Diagon Ally and you will do your shopping by yourself. An escort will also take you to kings crossing."
"Alright. When am I going to Diagon Ally?" I asked.
"You will leave in three days but will not arrive for four days. Then you will come strait back. I am sorry I can't go with you kiddo." Dad replied
"I know. How will I get money?"
"Your mother left money in the bottom drawer of your nightstand." Dad replied.
I nodded, then got up and left. I walked into my room and picked up my phone. I quickly found Hermione's number, then dialed it. The phone rang a few times before a woman answered.
"Hello, who is this?" She asked.
"Hi, I am a friend of Hermione's from school. Can I talk to Hermione?" I explained.
"Of course, I am her mother. I didn't know her friends could use the telephone. One moment."
She said quickly. There was a little shuffling before Hermione answered.
"Hello Kendra." Hermione greeted.
"How did you know it was me?" I questioned.
"No friend from school who has my number besides you can use a phone." She explained.
"Oh. Have you decided when you are going to Diagon Ally?" I asked.
"No not yet. We were hoping to see Harry." Hermione stated.
"Why would Harry be at Diagon Ally?" I inquired.
"Haven't you heard, he blow up his aunt and ran away." Hermione told me.
"He WHAT? He killed his aunt?" I shouted.
"No no no, his aunt is fine. The ministry pulled her out of the sky and deflated her."
"How did I not hear about this? Is Harry okay?" I asked
"I don't know, but Harry is fine. The Ministry pardoned him and he is staying at a hotel in Diagon Ally." Hermione explained.
"Oh good. Anyway, I am going to be at Diagon Ally in four days. Do you want to meet at the Leaky Cauldron around noon in four days?"
"Sure, I was already planning on going there with Ron. Mom and dad are dropping me off at the Weasley's so I can go to Kings Crossing with them the next day. Do you want to stay to? Mrs. Weasley told me to ask."
Hermione replied happily.
"I would love to." I replied, knowing my parents would be fine with it.
"Great I will see you then. Bye Hermione,"
"Good bye Kendra, don't get yourself killed."
Hermione joked.
