Chapter 45: Agents of SHIELD

After Coulson called his team to his office, a few people appeared and gathered at the side of the office.

A woman with shoulder-length black hair and a stern face.

[Melinda May - Cavalry. Affiliated with SHIELD.]

A bald man with a large build.

[Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie - Agent Mack. Affiliated with SHIELD.]

Another bald man but with a leaner yet fit build.

[Antoine "Trip" Triplett - Agent Trip. Affiliated with SHIELD.]

A man with short curly brown hair.

[Leopold James "Leo" Fitz - Agent Fitz. Affiliated with SHIELD.]

A woman with long brown hair that looked like Hermoine from Harry Potter.

[Jemma Anne Simmons - Agent Simmons. Affiliated with SHIELD.]

A woman with long blonde hair and a curvaceous body.

[Barbara "Bobbi" Morse - Mockingbird. Affiliated with SHIELD.]

And finally, a woman with shoulder-length dark brown hair.

[Skye / Daisy Johnson - Quake. Affiliated with SHIELD. Has Inhuman genes.]

At this point, Coulson spoke up.

“Everyone, I believe you already know him but let me introduce to you Captain Benjamin Freed of the EPD. Captain Freed, these are my best agents. Agent May, Mack, Trip, Bobbi, Skye, and finally, Fitz-Simmons.”

Benjamin nodded and took a step forward.

“Hello everyone. Feel free to call me Ben. I’ll be here to assist you guys for a while.”

At the side, Skye leaned closer to Bobbi and whispered.

“He’s kinda hot.”

“He sure is.”

“I call dibs.”

“Damn, aren’t you too fast?”

Benjamin naturally heard that with his enhanced hearing and could only smile wryly.

He turned to May and nodded at her.

“Agent May, right? Natasha had mentioned you a few times before. It seems you gave her quite an impression.”

May shrugged with a smile.

“We spar every now and then. She’d lose sometimes.”

“Have you sparred with her recently?”

“Recently? No. Haven’t gotten the chance to spar with her for a few months now.”

“Well, that’s good. She recently got a…power up, so it would be hard to win against her again.”

“Oh? Now that just makes me want to fight her again.”

May revealed an interested look and thought of looking for Natasha later.

Benjamin could only offer his condolences in advance since it will no longer be a fair fight between them as Natasha’s physique has been enhanced by the symbiote.

He then looked at everyone again and nodded to them.

“Well, that’s as far as I know about Agent May. I don’t know much about any of you but I’m sure we’ll get along.”

Right after that, Jemma spoke and approached Benjamin.

“Yes, umm. I’m also interested in getting to know you. Can I have a sample of your blood? How exactly is your body capable of emitting electricity? It’s amazing!”

Then Fitz.

“I’m more interested in that bio-armor thing you showed at the conference before. What material is it made of? How is it able to form like that?”

Benjamin felt overwhelmed by these two scientists who seemed as if they were about to start dissecting him…

“So. Mind briefing us on the mission? Before these two start dissecting Ben here?”

Trip asked Coulson.

Coulson nodded and pulled up a file from a tablet then displayed it on the large screen on the wall.

An image of a small crate with a stamp of [Item No. 084] written on its cover was displayed on the screen as well as several files.

“You all know what an 084 means.”

“Item of unknown origin, right?”

Skye confirmed and Coulson nodded.

“This isn’t just an 084. But the very first 084. Tagged by Agent Peggy Carter herself back in the day. Now, we don’t know exactly what it does but HYDRA wants it. And anything they want can’t be good.”

“How did we know HYDRA wants it?”

Mack asked.

Coulson then nodded at Benjamin for him to explain.

“I have a source inside HYDRA.”

“EPD has a spy on HYDRA?”

“You can say that.”

Said spy is actually the new Madame Hydra though.

“Any idea what this 084 is?”

Bobbi asked.

“I do. They call it the Obelisk.”

“First, the Tesseract. Now the Obelisk…Hydra sure likes to name things like these.”

Skye chuckled while shaking her head in exasperation.

“Anything else we know about this Obelisk?”

May asked.

“While we can stand here and discuss this at length, I do advise retrieving the object first before we talk. Seeing is believing after all.”

“I agree. Wheels up in 5. Get ready.”

Coulson ordered and everyone began to prepare.

When the rest of the team is gone, Coulson turned back to Benjamin.

“Can you give me an idea of how dangerous this thing is?”

“I don’t believe Whitehall knows what it is. At most, he’s most likely planning on turning it into a weapon. Which is stupid and inefficient.”

“How dangerous of a weapon we are talking about here?”

“On a small scale, about as dangerous as a bomb. On a large scale, a nuclear bomb.”

Coulson fell silent before asking again.

“You said it’s not a weapon. Then what is it?”

Benjamin smiled.

“A Diviner.”

“Diviner?”

Benjamin nodded but didn’t elaborate any further yet.

Soon, Coulson led Benjamin to the hangar where a rather large plane was parked. Above that large plane was another smaller plane attached to it as well.

“Looks nice, doesn’t she? Officially, it’s called Airborne Mobile Command Station. But we just call it, the Bus.”

“It does look cool.”

Benjamin nodded and followed him inside.

When the doors to the cargo hold lowered, Benjamin spotted a red ‘62 Chevrolet Corvette parked inside along with a black van beside it.

“Sweet ride.”

“That’s Lola. Don’t touch her.”

“You should see my DeLorean sometime.”

Benjamin chuckled.

“Can it fly?”

“And more.”

“...Now I want to see it.”

Coulson’s eyes lit up as they discussed.

At this moment, Skye and Trip approached them.

“The Bus is ready to go, sir.”

“Good. Get May to send us in the air as soon as possible.”

“Where to, boss?”

“The Fridge.”

The Fridge. A 100 stories tall building of SHIELD used to contain dangerous items recovered by SHIELD as well as a prison for some of the dangerous special criminals that SHIELD has captured.

Speaking of prisons, Benjamin has also started to plan out a special prison for the EPD’s use. Although he still can’t decide on a location.

His best options at the moment were, Mars, the Mirror Dimension, Limbo, or a shrunken prison using Pym Particle.

Trip nodded and left them to inform May, the pilot.

It didn’t take long for them to start flying into the air.

“Feel free to look around. Skye, you’re the newest member here. Give him the tour.”

Skye rolled her eyes at that but still did as she was ordered.

Coulson then left and went to his office while Benjamin followed Skye around the place.

“Well, since we’re here, let’s start with the cargo bay.”

Skye pointed at Lola and stared at him seriously.

“That’s Lola. Don’t ever touch her. Otherwise, you won’t hear the end of it from Coulson.”

“Haha, yeah. He already told me.”

Benjamin chuckled.

“Well, cargo is cargo. Not really anything special here. Moving on, that’s Fitz-Simmon’s lab.”

Skye pointed at the lab with glass walls at the front of the cargo bay.

Inside, he could see Fitz and Simmons checking on the equipment inside.

“Why do you guys call them that? Fitz-Simmons. Like they’re one person or something.”

“I dunno. I’m kinda new here and everyone calls them that so I just do it too. Guess it’s cause the two of them are inseparable.”

Skye shrugged.

Moving on, Skye continued to show him around the place. Where the cockpit was, the lounge, the briefing room, and the living quarters.

“And this is my bunk. Any questions?”

“Just one.”

“What is it?”

“How come your bunk is part of the tour?”

Benjamin teased while leaning closer to her.

Skye didn’t shy away and teased back.

“So you know where to find me.”

Benjamin chuckled and stopped teasing her.

He then looked around the lounge and asked.

“So. What do you guys do here for fun?”

While Benjamin hangs out with the other agents, back in New York, inside a certain police district, Jake was having the time of his life showing off to his previous colleagues.

He touched Boyle’s shoulder and ‘watched’ his shirt’s memories.

After a while, he said.

“You ate a double cheeseburger and fries for lunch didn’t you?”

“How did you know!?”

It was just a few hours past lunch so he was able to see up to that far in the past.

Jake grinned but didn’t explain just yet.

He moved on to a different target and tapped Amy on her shoulder.

“You had steak for lunch didn’t you?”

“Uhh, yeah?”

Amy rolled her eyes and didn’t bother with him.

“You also found a 10 dollar bill and pocketed it instead of looking for the owner. Aw, Amy just did her first crime! I’m so proud of you!”

“Ah? What!? No! No! I didn’t! You’re lying!”

Amy immediately panicked.

How did he know!?

Jake kept grinning and approached Rosa.

Rosa didn’t lift her head and simply pointed her gun at him.

“Don’t even think about it.”

“...”

Jake sweated.

He knew she was just joking and won’t actually shoot but…Rosa just makes it so believable.

Jake quickly backed away and approached Terry.

“You had salad and…uhh, what’s that weird green smoothie?”

“Don’t ask…”

Terry said with blank eyes.

Jake felt awkward and left him alone.

Next, he touched Hitchcock…that was a big mistake.

“Ew! What the fuck Hitchcock!? Why were you doing that in the bathroom!?”

Hitchcock sneered.

“Oh come on, Jake. Don’t we all do it in the bathroom?”

“Not during work!”

Hitchcock just shrugged.

Amy finally couldn’t bear it and asked.

“Ok, what’s the deal here, Jake? What are you doing?”

Jake immediately went back to his cheery old self and smiled smugly.

“Guess who now has po~wers~?”

“No way!”

Boyle’s eyes opened wide.

“That’s right! Me!”

Jake laughed.

“I can now see a recent memory of any object I touch. Pretty kewl huh?”

Amy was speechless.

“That’s cheating! You’ll be able to know who the criminal is just by touching the corpse or the weapon!”

“I know right!? Hahahaha!”

“So, what? Are you a mutant now too?”

Rosa asked and Jake shook his head.

“No, Ben called me an Inhuman. It’s different from mutants and their X-genes. Apparently, I’m part alien and had an Inhuman gene so I gained that ability.”

Terry sighed in relief.

“I always knew you weren’t human…”

“...”

Jake was speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, another figure appeared in the bullpen.

It was Captain Holt.

“Whatever you are, your ability changes things. Sergeant Jeffords. Bring Peralta to the evidence room and have him touch evidence from any current ongoing case.”

“Uhh, it isn’t all that powerful I can only see a few hours into the past at the moment.”

“Then you better start training. In the evidence room.”

“...”

Jake was speechless again.

He came here to brag and show off but he’s now going to be forced to work for a long time under the guise of training…

…I shouldn’t have come here…
