I met with Fury at a bar in Nepal, where he tried to slap me for doing what now was considered America's greatest terrorist attack, he was in a way, both happy Hydra had almost no foot in the USA, and angry, I had eliminated them the way I did, without telling him.
"I still can't believe you bombed their asses," Fury sighed, a small smile perking up his lips, beer at hand.
"Well, crazy or not, you can't say it wasn't efficient," I replied with a smile of my own, as I asked the bartender to refill my drink.
"Nobody can say that, but nobody can know you did that, the government would go bat crazy if they knew someone had the ability to bomb any location at any given time," Fury chuckled, taking a sip of his drink, "Which is why this attack was done by Equinox,"
I raised an eyebrow at that, "Equinox?"
"It's how shield is naming the one responsible behind those bombings, a new terrorist organization," Fury elaborated, "They assume that behind this attack, there is an organization, one that is a threat to the world, to the country, obviously they assume wrong, but that works for us, right?"
I nodded, "I plan on bombing the other bases around the world too, weakening Hydra even more,"
"How many bases do you think there are around the world?" Fury asked.
"I don't know, a few thousand at least," I shrugged.
"Hydra really plays by the Mythos," Fury chuckled, "But… so do we, now we have our own Heracles, the mighty demigod that will slay the beast, saving us all."
I snorted at that, "I suppose,"
"How's little Emily, and… the human eating cat?" Fury inquired.
"They are doing fine," I replied, deciding not to tell Fury about Emily's training with the Ancient One, in fact, he knew nothing of her, for now, I would keep that information. "How's the new partner?" I asked, looking at Coulson, who was out cold, thanks to my magic beer.
"He's okay, a bit naïve, but we all go through that phase," Fury replied, taking a sip of his beer, "He has a good heart, and wants to help the world, so, he's okay in my books."
"It could've been worse," I chuckled, remembering the first thing that Fury asked me when I greeted him at the bar, is Coulson clean, aka is Coulson with Hydra, the look of relief when I nodded, was precious.
"It could've been worse," Fury chuckled.
"So, any missions?" I asked.
"You know that's classified, but no, no missions, for now," Fury replied, "After Hydra is gone, would you consider working for Shield?"
I laughed, "I won't change a master for another Fury, but I can be a contractor, if you have the dough…" I grinned.
"I suppose that works, I never expected you to join us, I mean, you following protocol?" Fury snorted, "I think I would have better luck with the lottery there."
"Amen," I chuckled, raising my mug of beer.
"Well, no that this hasn't been good, but I have to go," Fury said, standing up from the bar stool, "If I ever happen to need you, I will call you at this number," at this he handed me a phone, one of those phones people used once and threw again.
"You will, in one year," I winked, grabbing the phone. It was, after all, 1993, November. Meaning it one year, and a few months, Fury would need me, Captain Marvel was coming.
"I feel like I should ask, but I also feel you won't answer, so fuck it, bye," Fury waved, grabbing the unconscious Coulson.
"Bye," I waved back, seeing Fury exit the now empty bar.

[December - 1993]
It was my first real X-Mas with Emily, and we were celebrating like we should have been since we escaped Hydra. As for gifts, everyone gave something to Emily, The Ancient One, gave her a bracelet with protection spells, I gave her a bag I enchanted to have bigger space than it should have, and I also gave her an invisible ring that allowed me to know where she was at all times, thanks to the location spell the ring had, Fury gave her a taser with enough firepower to knock down a rhino, a big one, and Goose gave her the privilege of letting Emily pet her on her belly, for that day only of course.
Oh, I also gave her a pair of VIT enhanced earrings.
"This is for you," Emily said, snapping me out of my dream boat.
I looked at her hands to see a badly wrapped present, which only helped to melt my heart, why? Well it was obvious she had wrapped the present herself, "I wonder what it is?" I asked with a teary smile.
"Open it!" Emily giggled.
With care, I tore the gift wrap open, to see the first thing I have given her, the coloring book, accompanied by a picture of us sleeping on the couch together after Disney movie night with a letter that said.
~I know you didn't plan to have me, and that I was forced upon you in a difficult situation, I know you had to sacrifice a lot to keep me safe, I know it all, I know that even with all that, you never stopped loving me anyways, thanks for being there for me, and I hope you continue being there for me, for I couldn't ask for a better Dad, and I will try to be the best possible daughter, with love. Emily Walker~
I said I would not cry, but come on! How can I not after this?! "This is… I think I have an allergy to the Ancient One's cookies,"
"You are a terrible liar, Mr. Walker," The Ancient One replied amused.
"I know," I chuckled, hugging Emily with a bear hug.
"I love you, thanks for being my dad," Emily said with a soft tone.
I smiled, ruffling her hair, "Now and always, little champ."
