Prologue 1: The Agent

Author's Note:

Hey everyone, SirEmperorKhan here with another story! This story came out later then I would have liked, (I was unexpectedly busy the past few days) but I have finally finished the first chapter of this story!

This fanfic is the second story in my Marvel Fanfiction Universe. For those of you who don't know, my MFU is a series of fanfics that are connected like the Marvel movies. The first story in the MFU is "The Guardian: Jack Frost". (which don't seem to be getting much attention at the time of writing) I recommend everyone who is following this series to check it out; it will become relevant in the future.

I'm also looking for a beta to check my stories, so if you are interested check the author's note at the end of this story.

Enjoy!

Queens, New York

Barbara "Bobbi" Morse (AKA the Mockingbird) is one of SHIELD's greatest asset. Not only is she a good fighter, she is skilled in nearly every other field, including, but not limited to: hacking, piloting, tactical planning, recruitment, and, interestingly, biology.

So one can imagine that she would feel underwhelmed and underused when she was told to investigate into the "Lizard incident" and the mysterious vigilante who saved New York from turning into lizards.

Stupid biology PhD Bobbi thought to herself. Apparently, she was a perfect fit for this mission. Her vast knowledge in Biology can help out in the investigation and she has the skills to protect herself in case there are any more crazy Lizard people.

Now if only I needed the skills on this mission. The investigation went off without a hitch, no more lizard people, no attacks, nothing. And the other investigators did not trust her to help them even with her PhD. "A piece of paper doesn't mean anything." They said. "Besides we're used to working together, you would only get in the way.

The only thing that she thought would be interesting would be tracking down the vigilante known as Spiderman (so creative) who is believed to be able to climb walls and shoot some sort of spider web from his writs to swing from building to building.

However, before Barbara could even begin her search, the Spiderman showed himself. He casually walked into the scene of investigation and gave a witness report. The police were weary and uncomfortable around him but did not arrest him. (He was the hero of the city after all.)

Agent Morse had managed to contact Spiderman and worked together with him to take down a dangerous street gang. She even offered him a position in SHIELD, which he declined since he still wants a normal life outside of crime fighting. However, her time with the mysterious vigilante would be much more enjoyable if he wasn't so annoying.

Right now, she is standing on the roof of a tall skyscraper in New York City, waiting for her last meeting with Spiderman before she is allowed to return to the Helicarrier. Finally, after an entire year…

Just then, Bobbi heard a thump behind her and instantly recognizes it to be the sound of her awaited date.

"Well if it isn't the spider," The Mockingbird says mockingly as she turns her head just enough to see Spiderman from the corner of her eye.

"Ah, the bird of prey, what a pleasure meeting you here." Spiderman answers humorously while he gave a small bow.

As she turned around to face Spiderman, Bobbi simply answers him annoyed. "You're late."

"Good to see you too, Agent." Spiderman deadpan.

The Mockingbird sighed in reply to his statement. "Look, I'm just going to get straight to the point."

"Aww, no petty arguments this time? But why?" Spiderman asks mockingly.

The Mockingbird was more than happy to explain and glares at Spiderman throughout the explanation for effect. "This would be our last meeting, and to be frank, I can't stand being around you any longer."

Spiderman takes a step back and place a hand on his heart in mock pain. "But… but why?" The Spider asks with mock sadness "I thought… I thought you were my friend."

"And the Oscar goes to…" Bobbi trails off with a roll of her eyes. But before she could say more, her phone started ringing. With an annoyed sigh, Bobbi checked the caller ID. Coulson, what does he want this time?

"Give me a second." Bobbi tells Spiderman before turning around and picking up the phone. "Thank God, Coulson; I can't stand another second with this idiot." Bobbi said to the phone just loud enough for Spiderman to hear.

"Coulson? I missed Agent Coulson! How's he doing?" Spiderman exclaims loudly in the background with humour, although Spiderman had only a short meeting with Coulson when the investigation was wrapping up.

On the other side of the phone, Coulson is standing in the Helicarrier making the call. He had spent the last few hours making phone calls to prepare the response team and Phase 2 to counter the new threat that has arisen, and he needs all the help he can get, even from the so-called idiot.

"I'm sure you can survive a few more days." Coulson answer through the phone. Right now, he is looking through some files about Spiderman and the famed Mockingbird. "We might need his help with this mission. It's important."

Bobbi took a glance back at Spiderman, who was pretending to be in a serious call too. 'How important?"

"A new threat showed up and levelled an entire SHIELD base." Coulson simply stated. "There will be a proper briefing when you come aboard the Helicarrier." Coulson purposely withheld some of the details, not wanting her to be too distracted. "You think you can convince the Spider to join."

Bobbi turned back to Spiderman who was sitting on the floor and playing a game on his phone. "I don't know, but I'll try. When my ride coming?"

"Tomorrow morning a quinjet will pick you up from the local airport. O-nine-hundred sharp.

"Alright, well, see you tomorrow." And with that Bobbi ended the call and extends the invitation to Spiderman. "So, do you want to take a mission? It sounds serious."

"I don't know…" Spiderman trailed off. And for the first time, Bobbi saw a mature and serious side of vigilante. "I mean, I have a life outside of Spiderman and…and I have a job and a family. Don't you have other heroes like Iron Man and other super spies?"

Bobbi sighed and stared at the gravel under her feet for a few seconds before lifting up her head and staring Spiderman in the eye. "Yes, but you can help make the job easier." She chose her words carefully as she tried to convince the vigilante to help out. But it's hard when she knows so little about the actual mission. Curse your vagueness Coulson.

"I don't know, I mean, if thing get too out of hand I'll help out but…I have a responsibility here." Spiderman reasons. For a split second the memory of Uncle Ben dying cross his mind and gave Spiderman more resolve. "I'm sorry but… I'm staying."

Bobbi stared at Spiderman and judged him for a second. He voice indicates that he actually believes that it is his responsibility to protect New York. He doesn't seem like he's chickening out of a dangerous mission…

Bobbi resigned with a sigh, and reached into her pocket and pulled out a futuristic wristband. "Alright, but here's a communicator, just in case things do get out of hand." She passes the small device to Spiderman who takes it with caution.

"Can't you trace me with this or something?" Spiderman askes suspiciously as he observes the device.

"We could, but we usually respect the rights of privacy." Bobbi reassures him.

But Spiderman quickly notices a catch. "Usually?" He asks just as suspiciously, perhaps even more.

Bobbi sighs in annoyance at his lack of trust. "Unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Fine, I'll take it." Spiderman says as he puts on the band. "Thank you, I guess." He lifts up his arm to look at it and realizes that it's the same colour as his costume.

When Bobbi sees that he notice the colour pattern she tells him, "We took the liberties of making sure it blends in with the costume."

"Well thanks, again." Spiderman says in gratitude as he starts to walk backwards. "Well I best be going, need my beauty sleep to function properly tomorrow. You'll need sleep too if you're going on a dangerous mission. Good night!" After saying that, Spiderman jumps off the building and swings back home.

"Right," Bobbi muttered under her breath as she turned and walk away. "sleep,"

Author's Note:

Thanks for reading my story! I would appreciate it if you would leave your thoughts on this chapter and how I can improve in the reviews. I would also appreciate it if you would favourite and/or favourite this story.

Now, for those who are interested in being my beta reader. Grammar and spellchecking are not my main concern for my stories (I use Microsoft Word with its own spellcheck) but should have good English in case anything got pass the spellcheck. I am more interested in a creative person who is good with words. I am really worried on how my story sounds like when read. I would also like to be able to discuss future plans with my beta. The person should also be well-informed when it comes to Marvel comics and the MCU. If you think that you fit these qualifications, please PM me. I'm hoping to get a beta before I upload the next chapter.

For those of you who are still reading up to this point, I would like to reward you with a sneak peak of the next chapter!

"I'm afraid that the X-men cannot help you with this mission."

"I understand your concerns, which is why I have found an alternative,"

What mission? Why can't the X-men help out? Who are these people? What alternative? Stay tuned to find out. And hopefully the next chapter should be up by next week.

SirEmperorKhan out.
