As she rose from her bed, she looked around and saw nothing but her normal room at SHIELD HQ. She was about to lay back down when she heard it again. She gets out of bed and wanders around the room in her pyjamas. “Hello..?” She waits for a moment before turning around to go back to sleep. As she turns around she was faced by a blonde bearded large built male in armour but he was transparent. [color=a2d39c]“...Beware the Trickster...”[/color] And then if she somehow knew who he was, she reached out to him. “Theoric..?” She seemed to remember his face from somewhere. He reached out his hand toward her and touches it before disappearing. She stood there pensively for what seemed a lifetime, before sitting on the edge of her bed. “Who are all these people...The Trickster? Who is that...” She wondered before heading out to the training room in her SHIELD uniform. The Valkyrie was hard at working out when Agent Phil Coulson walked into the gymnasium. She was using the heaviest weights that Captain America used. She seemed to be pushing herself even harder today. [color=6ecff6]“You're up early.”[/color] “Couldnt sleep.” She states firmly between lifts, panting slightly, only barely breaking a sweat. As if she were in competition with herself. [color=6ecff6]“You're not sleeping a lot these days, anything troubling you?” [/color]Phil asks with concern written on his face as he handed her a file. [color=6ecff6]“Your next assignment.”[/color] He was a fatherly figure to the young agent. But he didn't seem to want to pry into her life too much. She gets off the weight machine and opens the file whilst grabbing a towel to put around her neck. “An invitation to the 'Parrington's annual charity ball.....featuring a debut appearance by their very own Angel and Valkyrie....Victoria Parrington'.” Her tone grew more monotonous as she read through it. “Are you kidding me?!” She looked at Phil with disbelief. Phil smiles. [color=6ecff6]“Fury approved their request for you to go. He has arranged for you to meet your next assignment there.”[/color] Victoria reads further. “Victor..Von..Doom?” She looks back at him again with disdain. [color=6ecff6]“You are to be his escort while on his trip here around the States.”[/color] Phil continues to explain. “The leader of a country, needs MY assistance? Is his security not good enough?”She asks Phil as they leave the training room and walk down the hall together. [color=6ecff6]“Apparently he wants the best. So we're sending you, and your parents had some persuasion, something about 'setting you up with an ideal suitor at the same time'?”[/color] Phil chuckles as he pats her arm and walks off ahead of her, leaving Victoria in the hallway with a scornful expression. “Fury is going to get his ass kicked for this.” - - - - Well, here she was. Standing in her childhood bedroom as the party was just about to begin. Gazing out the window she saw a lot of citizens stood outside the gates, just wanting to get a mere glimpse of the Parrington's daughter, Valkyrie. They held plaques and banners that read “Our Saviour is Here” and various other positive slogans. She adorned a long emerald gown with hair partially swept back and long and wavy cascading over one shoulder.

[color=f7976a]“You look positively radiant my dear”[/color] Her father Reginald came in right behind Malicia. “We never knew you could so such wonderful things. You saved all those people.” Her mother took her hands in her own. [color=bc8dbf]“The children haven't seen you in ages, you must stop by the Orphanage soon, they miss you.”[/color] [color=f7976a]“And young Mr Stark is attending this evenings events but I think he is a little too young to be a good match for you, but Von Doom on the other hand is quite a catch.”[/color] Her father added with one hand held neatly behind his back in that upper class manner. Feeling a little overwhelmed by her parents, she took herself back from them. “I believe Mr Von Doom has got [b]better[/b] things to do with his time. And stop trying to set me up with a husband. I don't need one.” She folds her arms tight stubbornly in her lovely evening gown fit for an Asgardian goddess. They look a little disheartened at their daughter's continued defiance. Victoria just hated the thought of being arranged to marry someone,as if she'd been through it before. [color=bc8dbf]“Oh...well...then come down and meet the people who we've helped this year with the Trust's money. We were all hoping you would sing for us with that beautiful voice f yours.”[/color] Her mother leads Victoria down the mansion's hallway and down the grand steps to the foyer where all the guests were having champagne and appetizers served. Immediately spotting her old friend Pepper Pots, Victoria makes her excuse and dashes toward the red head adorning a modest white long dress. She hugs the young budding business woman. “Thank god you're here.” Pepper raises an eyebrow at her, [color=ec008c]“Thank God...?”[/color] She then folds her arms at the Valkyrie. [color=ec008c]“When were you going to tell me you had WINGS? Do they just appear out of your back or something..?”[/color] Pepper asks as she inspected Victoria's bare back. Victoria spins around to stop Pepper poking at her shoulder blades. “SHIELD likes to keep everything a secret, sorry.” [color=ec008c]“Are you the result of an experiment or what?”[/color] Pepper demands to know. Victoria backs away and was then inundated with guests swarming her, asking her all sorts of questions about her powers and whether she really did bring people back to life. It was then she realised, she really felt alone and that nobody could understand what she was. Agent Phil came to her rescue and shooed them away. Various SHIELD agents were amongst the crowd. Classical light music started up and Phil lead the Valkyrie away from the guests and onto the dance floor space and assumed the male lead stance and she instinctively followed. “I didn't know you could dance, Phil.” The Lady of the Hour smiled at him, taken by surprise. [color=6ecff6]“I don't have everything on file. You know, you should smile more. It suits you.”[/color] He smiled back at her as they danced together and her parents entertain their guests, welcoming all who came through the door. Pepper watches her good friend with suspicion, slightly annoyed by being kept in the dark. [color=6ecff6]“I must say green doesn't usually flatter women, but on you it works.”[/color] Phil attempts a compliment as they dance but Victoria's smile faded. “Thanks...” [color=fff79a][i]“Siguna....” [/i][/color] There it was again, that same whisper. She couldn't help but look over his shoulder to spot a woman in the crowd with long blonde curly hair, she too wore emerald and had a...distinctive air about her. A chill was sent down her spine, the woman did not appear to look very friendly at all. Again, it [i]felt[/i] like as if she knew her. But then she disappeared from view and she gazed the room unable to spot her again.
