She'd known from the start that joining SHIELD - now HAMMER - would be a game changer and that everything would be on a completely different level than what she'd done before, but she certainly hadn't imagined anything like this. She masked her amazement well once they'd touched down, however, strutting out of the transport quite casually to join those whom she presumed that she would be working with as well as her new boss.<br/><br/>Elira knew a bit about Norman Osborn, though it was mostly hearsay or what she'd seen on the news. He certainly seemed different here in person than he did on TV when he was making appearances or giving speeches and the Iron Patriot. However, it was the woman that was with Osborn - his assistant perhaps - who caught Elira's eye the most as they exchanged a momentary glance while she walked up to the small group.<br/><br/>She glanced over at the soldier who'd spoken up first, noting that he looked quite rough around the edges indeed. He's probably come straight from the field, if she had to guess. Even behind the thick facial hair, though, Elira could tell that he was handsome, and there was something to be said about the virility that his disheveled appearance afforded him.<br/><br/>"Elira Kadare, corporal," she spoke up next, her words laced with only the hint of an eastern European accent.
