Chapter 53: Chapter 53 - Training Begins
After they returned home, the day passed without anything else of note happening, and like that, Lily went to sleep.
The following day was also uneventful, but Lily noticed that her parents had some new reservations about getting too close to her now that they were aware of her physical capabilities, specifically her mother.
On the other hand, her father seemed rather proud in some odd way.
But she didn't mind; she understood her mother's reasoning; after all, she was just a normal weak person. When faced with the fact that the little girl you are tasked to not only take care of but monitor and protect is stronger than you.
It can be very demoralizing.
But that didn't matter; she would get over it eventually.
And like that, yet another day passed without any news from Phil or anyone else.
It seemed they were still discussing it and were probably even going over the various test results to see if training her would be truly wise.
However, they came to a decision quick enough, as on the next day, the 3rd of February, they called her parents and asked for her to be brought back in.
They left not even an hour later, returning to the S.H.I.E.L.D. building.
Rather than going down to the basement floors, they went up to where they had originally met Phil, entering the room to greet him again.
"You've arrived, good. Good day Agents, and how are you doing, Lily?"
Phil said with a smile as he lowered himself and greeted Lily, who replied with a smile of her own.
"I'm doing good, Uncle Phil."
She remembered that he had given her permission to call him Uncle Phil, so she decided to use it. It would make him more likely to get closer to her, which would benefit her in the long run for the things she wanted.
"That's good to hear. Do you know why I wanted to meet you today?"
Shaking her head, Lily said no.
"They only told me that you had something you wanted to tell me."
"That's right, but rather than tell you, I would like to ask you something."
Replied Phil as he took a seat and told her to take one as well.
"What do you think about being taught by us? Not just the basic lessons you would learn from a school, but also how to fight and how to survive."
When he asked the question, he kept his eyes on the girl, looking for some sort of reaction.
They wanted her to officially begin training as an Agent, and doing so from a young age would be better than waiting until she was older. Even if he disagreed with the method, he couldn't argue that she would be able to bare it physically.
But he was worried about her mental state.
On the other hand,, Lily was waiting for exactly this, but she couldn't show that on her face.
She played the part and slightly frowned, her brows in a confused manner as she asked him a question.
"What does that mean?"
"Well, think of it like this, your parents are Agents that work for us, and we would like to train you to be just like them. Would you like that?"
Her parents were somewhat surprised by their intentions, but they were merely Agents, so they didn't say anything and just stood back.
"Will I be as strong as them?"
"Of course, you might even be stronger."
Phil replied with a smile, and after a few seconds, Lily nodded her head, agreeing to their proposal.
"Ok, I want to be an Agent then."
"Great, you're a smart girl; I'm sure you will do well. We will begin your lessons right away since it's early."
It seems they already expected her to agree with them, or if she didn't agree right away, they would do everything they could to possibly make her agree.
Phil stood up and took up a screen from the desk, and after searching through it for a while, he pulled out a routine she would follow.
It was a simple and repetitive routine, and unlike other S.H.I.E.L.D recruits, she wouldn't be trained at a different location or academy but rather be trained in the basement right here.
She would be trained by specific Agents that were tasked with training her in different fields. She would also be taught her common schooling to make it even more distant from normal training routines for Agents.
The routine was simple, but it went something like this;
Monday to Wednesday would be teaching her the common school curriculum during the Mornings; during the Evenings, she would be taught information pertaining to S.H.I.E.L.D. and their brainwashing.
Thursday to Friday, she would be taught physical training from Morning, with a short break around lunchtime; then, she would be trained in different aspects of the job.
Saturday and Sunday were rest days; as she was still young, they didn't want to push her too much and cause her to break.
Also, they didn't have any physical fitness training on the routine since her body was already much better than a human's, so training her fitness would be of little help.
Instead, they focused more on teaching her the techniques she needed to learn.
Which she was gladly willing to learn since she lacked those.
So far, she had been fighting purely on instincts and moving how her body wanted to move like a wild animal. She was predictable and easy to beat if someone as strong as her with better skill than she fought.
As she got stronger and fought even stronger people, techniques would be the deciding factor in most hand-to-hand fights.
So she did as they wished, and like that, her training phase of S.H.I.E.L.D. began.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS

ZeroX0666 Timeskip after this chapter going to be around a month time skip.
Plot stuff is going to happen, meeting some Canon characters.
Chapter 54: Chapter 54 - First Time
A month flew by so quick that Lily didn't even realize a month had passed.
Throughout that month, she had continued to collect mass using her Hive units in the forest, along with having her worms create the perfect nest within the underground of New York for when she was ready to make more units.
She even gained new abilities from eating animals in the forest through her hive units.
Fish Physiology.
Bird Physiology.
Both were new abilities she had gained and had been created after eating various birds and fishes in the forest through her Hive.
Fish Physiology, as the name would imply, gave her the capabilities of a fish. Water Breathing, Cold Resistance to an extent, Enhanced lungs, and Enhanced Senses even in water.
As for Bird Physiology, it was an ability she had gained after a lot of effort since capturing birds was hard without flight.
But, it gave her a lot of benefits, Enhanced Agility, Enhanced Senses, Enhanced Balance, Enhanced Reflexes, Enhanced Stamina, Enhanced Lungs, and Digitigrade Legs, and she also gained Atmospheric Adaptation to an extent, albeit very minor.
She also could now grow wings, wings similar to that of a bird that she could use to fly around. But she hadn't done so, as it would be very noticeable.
The most exciting part about this ability was the fact that she could now create bird-like units, which she would be sure to put to use in the future.
Some of her other abilities also fused together and created new skills since she ate more of their species.
Namely;
Canin Physiology.
Feline Physiology.
Which were self-explanatory, so she didn't bother with them too much.
Aside from the gains from her Hive, she also made a lot of progress under training with S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Agents that were tasked with training her did a great job. From them, she was able to learn many things, not just basic knowledge but knowledge that only government personnel would be able to know easily.
One thing to note, however, was that she only met Phil a little throughout the month as he had other work to do. Still, they also got somewhat closer as he brought her gifts whenever he visited.
For her basic schooling, she did very well. They originally began teaching her from Grade 6 education, stuff a Middle Schooler would learn, but they quickly realized that she was much smarter than she looked.
It didn't even take a week before they finished the entire Middle School curriculum and moved on to High School.
The High School curriculum was somewhat harder, but thanks to her enhanced mental capabilities and learning speed, she was able to finish the entire thing in a little under two weeks, and they had already begun teaching her college-level information.
Aside from basic schooling, they also taught her S.H.I.E.L.D. related information, such as about Mutants, Super Soldiers, Inhumans, Foreign Languages, Weapons, and other information she would need to know in order to be a proper Agent.
As for her physical training, she learned a mixture of different types of fighting styles, from M.M.A. to Krav Maga, Systema, Kenpō, and even Judo, because it would suit her size and strength.
They were challenging to learn for someone that had no form of professional training in them, but thanks to her body being able to keep up with the training and her mind being able to pick up on details quickly.
She was able to learn the basics of them in the month.
Calling her a master would be impossible; she couldn't even take down her own teachers in them without using her brute strength, but that was enough since she had the brute force to complement them.
Naturally, she planned to learn more, but training had to stop for the time being because someone wanted to meet her.
Someone important.
An Agent led her up the elevator as soon as she had arrived for the day, and they went up to the fifth floor of the building this time.
Upon reaching a door on the fifth floor, the Agent knocked, not entering until the door was unlocked from the inside and they were permitted to enter.
The second Lily entered the room, her eye fell on the head of the man before her, a clean bald head without a single hair on it.
Right away, she knew who it was.
'Nick Fury.'
She couldn't help but gaze at him up and down, his looks almost identical to how he was in the movies.
Dark-skinned with a bald head. One eye that was covered in an eye patch due to a certain cat and a short beard that worked perfectly for his hardened looks.
The only difference would be the fact that he looked slightly younger than he was in Avengers, but that was due to the fact that it was earlier in the timeline.
'So he's the important person.'
She thought as she looked at him, confused.
She honestly didn't expect to meet any of the Canon characters just yet, especially not someone like Nick Fury, who was very paranoid about who he met and what he did.
But it seemed something was up.
"Greetings Agent, and Recruit."
He gave the Agent a nod, who left the room and closed the door behind him, leaving just Lily and Fury in the room.
"Agent Coulson has told me much about you. My name is Nick Fury, and I am here to assign to you your first mission."
It seemed he was trying his best not to be as brash as he normally is because of her age.
Which she found quite odd since she wasn't used to this way of Fury's speech.
"But I'm still a recruit, Sir."
Lily replied, unsure why exactly they were already planning to rush her onto the field when it hadn't even been a month since her training started.
"Do not worry; after careful consideration, I decided that you would be best suited for this mission due to your capabilities. Do not worry; I, along with other Agents, will be joining you for it."
Fury explained as he looked at her.
"Understood, Sir."
She had been trained on how Agents should act and treat their superiors, so she accepted the mission without further doubt. It was, after all, an order.
Plus, this went along with what she wanted, so she had no reason to deny it.
"Good; follow me to the briefing room; we will begin immediately."
