//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Lucy // Story: Ponies Of SHIELD // by enwruble //------------------------------// "COULSON!!" I screamed, clutching the edge of the cargo ramp. The wind was so strong, my hands were so sweaty, it was fate I was gonna fall. "Hold on!!" Coulson yelled over the wind of the tornado. Trip reached up holding a bungee cord and a protective bullet proof vest, and wrapped the bungee cord around a pulley on the ceiling. The bungee cord clicked onto the front of the vest. He threw the vest to Coulson, who tossed it to me. With one hand, I slid one arm into the vest, then using that arm to hold my grip on the cargo ramp, slid my other arm in. I clicked it together, holding the ramp with my elbows. The second I heard the click, I fell into open space. I gripped the bungee cord and bounced in the air. "PULL HER UP!" I heard them yelling as they began to crank the pulley. They helped me to my feet, and we all clicked into our emergency seats as May sealed the cargo ramp. Before we knew it, we were being pulled into the tornado as I squeezed Skye's hand so hard I swear I may have permanently cut off the blood circulation to her hand. My name is Lucy. I'm sixteen years old. I have no last name, and the only real blood family I have is my sister, Skye. However May and Coulson are my new "parents", and Trip, Simmons and Fitz are my "siblings". Fitz is sort of, umm... Brain damaged. We had to leave him on the ground so we could track this tornado. There was something strange about it. There was a strange signal coming from the tornado, and we couldn't risk him getting hurt while we took a look. When we found the tornado, we kept getting pulled closer. Me, Coulson, Simmons and Skye went down to get clipped in while Trip and May tried to steer us away from the twister. We hit a turbulence, and Trip pushed May and May accidentally hit the Open Cargo Ramp button. I tripped due to the turbulence, fell, screamed for Coulson, and here we are. The plane swerved, and a flash of lightning filled the plane. We all went blind before we went down. We all woke up with no plane, no hands, no fingers, and no toes, and surrounded by colourful ponies. I thought the lightning had fried my brain. One older looking mare with a white mane and tail and - glasses? - stepped toward us as we attempted to walk on all fours. "What in Celestia is going on here?" She cried, looking back at the town, then back at us. "Who are you?" We were all too scared to say anything. I flinched as I heard hooves galloping toward us. It was a purple unicorn!! What the heck is wrong with the world?? "Wait!!" She yelled, stepping in front of us. "They're some old friends from Canterlot!!" Canterlot?? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE? The old horse looked over her glasses at the unicorn. "Twilight, are you honestly telling me that these pegasi that just fell from the sky are old friends?? They don't even have cutie marks!!" Pegasi? I looked over my back to see two pale blue wings, a cloud white tail that fell in perfect springs and spirals, and hopefully a ruined mind. I urged the wings to flap once. They did. Twice. They did. Three times. Six times. They did. What is going on? "Very well," the old mare adjusted her glasses. "You may take them to your library, Twilight." "Thank you, Mayor Mare," The unicorn - Twilight - says. "Come on, guys." And we follow her down the pathway.
