Who: Helen "Jenkins" Janos and SHIELD members
When: Monday, April 12th, 2010
Where: SHIELD HQ, New York
What: Chimera starts her new inside job as a SHIELD intern
By the time she got to the security guard Helen was already resentful. Her idea of clothes was whatever was practical and could be pulled out of a hiking backpack: the legacy of living out of one for years across Europe and Asia. She was a cargo pants and tank top kind of girl, so the black slacks and crisp button-down just made her want to curl her lip in disgust. Government types were all just show anyhow.
Still, she knew she'd have to be pleasant and helpful and all that while she was here. Great. She was pretending to be a farm girl who'd gotten a degree in English out in Idaho and gee golly, now she thought working for SHIELD and serving the people of the USA would be a wonderful career opportunity. She could still play the naive new girl in the big city pretty well--she'd been one once, before she'd seen the world.
She passed through the metal detector in the lobby. Please. Like she couldn't rip them all into shreds with her dragons in a hot minute. Taking the elevator to the twenty-third floor as indicated to report in, she gave herself ten seconds to turn the air blue with every curse she knew in numerous languages, and that was a lot.
And then she stepped out with a nervous smile on her face, hoping she just looked lost and pitiable. But once they "helped her settle in", she'd make remarkable progress quickly.
