SHIELD could be a very dangerous line of work and a stressful one to boot, so the organization was always keeping an eye out for new recruits for the training program. They were hand-picked for recruitment, and even then, they still had to complete the program to successful standards. Not everyone made it through. Only about five percent of the candidates they saw today would even be considered to train with them. It was possible none of them would ever become SHIELD agents. Tora had been through this process herself shortly after coming to the United States, though her superpowers set her apart from the pack.
Still, it was a stressful process. SHIELD always asked around for agents who wanted to volunteer to be on-hand, answer questions, give honest feedback about recruits. Tora went to these mixers occasionally just to make people feel more at ease. She had even spent the night prior turbo baking and was manning the refreshment table with a name tag introducing herself as Agent Icemaiden.
"Excuse me Miss, I'd like to eat your muffin."
Tora looked up at the male recruit who was sporting an amused look on his face. Any rude euphemisms were lost on her, but the look he was giving her was not. She hated when men looked at her like that. Instead of getting angry about it, however, she just smiled. "They are actually cupcakes, but they look quite similar!" She handed him a cupcake and a napkin. "Enjoy!"
