Ward leaned on Skye's open door, and cleared his throat.
Skye was watching something on the computer with her ear bugs, laughing. "Skye, what's so fun?" Only until ward talked to her again did she sense his presence. "Hey, robot! What's up?" Her face still remained a grin when she turned her attention to ward. Ward straightened his body, folding arms across his chest. "Nothing. Coulson said mission debrief in five. See you down there." Without saying another word, he turned on his wheel. "Wait! I'll go with you!" Skye yelled as she rushed out her bunk. Ward sighed in frustration. It had been two weeks since Simmons announced that Skye was completely recovered from her gun shot. It didn't take long for Skye to become that out-going talkative mischievous hacktivist he knew again. This made him feel relief-he need to confess. He even had to admit that how uncomfortable he was when that captivating voice disappeared for at least one week. Or miserable is a better description of his condition. Despite he was eager to being with her all the time since the "foreseeable" accident, he also had to stay professional as a black op specialist. And that means he would wear a I'm-a-stoic-robot-you'd-better-stay-away-from-me mask. Few seconds later, Skye managed to catch up with Ward who was apparently lost in his thoughts while waiting for her. She patted his back mischievously. "Time to go, !" ward lolled his eyes. "Skye, I'm not a machine." "No, you're. Definitely. You can confirmed that to our computer engineer, Agent Leo Fitz, and let my dear biochemist run some tests on you! What do you say?" Skye chuckled, grabbing his arm. Her tiny warn hands were touching his bare skin, which he thought was cozy and satisfied.
-The Command centre-
When Skye and Ward arrived, the rest of the team were already down there.
"So, what's our mission?" Skye released Ward's arms from her hands. "A man with some unknown super power." Coulson opened the file and gave it to the four younger members. Skye was surprised by the tawny papers. "Wow, since when S.H.I.E.L.D. prefers paper files than an electronic one? Or may I ask how old he is?" Fitz answered after he put them on table. "Bartholomew Colin. Born on April 23, 1930. Well that's old enough." Ward frowned. "That doesn't make sense. S.H.I.E.L.D. must have his file in the system since he's alive." "Wait, but the file says he was died in 1996!" Simmons exclaimed, not knowing what was going on. "So that could explain why we don't have his file in our system. But is that has anything to do with our case? After all, he's died." "Don't tell me Colin's a human version of GH-325!" Skye eyed Coulson suspiciously. "Exactly!" "What? That's impossible!" "It can't beexplained!" Fitz and Simmons yelled at the same time.
"Recently, he showed up at a local instrument store in Gaborone, Mauritius. It was the first time he exposed himself in public after his in 1996." May pointed the picture in the big screen placidly. Skye narrowed her eyes, turned her head to May after observed that photo. "You gotta be kidding me. This man looks only at his early 30's. How could it be Colin? I mean, even if it's him indeed, shouldn't he be at least 60?!" "That's what we're gonna find out." Coulson replied briefly. "That's weird. How could it be? A man with his regeneration body system?" Simmons murmured, looking through the medical records, Fitz took a breath. "Actually his medical records is empty. We can't get any valuable details from those paper. Not a clue."
"It used to have a copy on our data base. Only being erased because of his death." Skye nodded. "Then I think I can restored it." "Be quick. We will land in three hours." Without saying another word, May walked out the command centre, heading to the cockpit. "How long will it take?" Ward asked with a robotic tone. Skye tapped the keyboard. "Accurately? 30 minutes top, you impatient robot." "How many backups will we get?" Ignoring her naughty comment, Ward turned to Coulson. "You wanna bring him in? Because I don't think we have a right to arrest a man just because of his power, not even mentioning he hasn't break any law so far. And how did S.H.I.E.L.D. find him in the very first beginning?" Silence was filled with the room the next few seconds, the tapping sound becoming the only sound in the centre. Ward leaned his body against the table, remaining emotionless. "I know it is none of my business, my last question, but it would be a big help for the mission if we know the reason. I apologize that -" "You don't to be sorry, agent Ward. You're right. It do have a great help. It's not that I don't want you guys know. This previous mission of capturing Colin is level 8." Coulson trailed off Ward's sentence with a mix emotion on his face, which Simmons only had seen when Coulson was with cellist, obviously hesitating whether he should tell them the truth. Fitz argued. "But that would be known once Skye restore the erased file." "Or it's because this file is above our clearance." Simmons looked at Fitz with a hint of smile. "Come on, let's go to the lab and prepare anything you need in the mission. We have known nothing about the guy up till now. So the more we prepare the better." "Good. When Skye manages to do her job, all of you will be debriefed again." Coulson nodded at Fitz-Simmons when they were about to leave. "So, am I not allowed to read the file which is decrypted by me?" Skye faked a grimace. "Level 8, Skye." Coulson wagged his head. "Sir, I'll take her out once she's done." "Oh, Seriously?!" Then she gave Coulson puppy eyes. "do I really need to be out of this? The last time you tried it do this, Fitz and Ward were almost dead!" coulson punched his nose ridge, exhaustedly. He still had some important things to solve. Something that involved with both of the mission and May. "Skye, we will talk about that later. Ward, tell me when you finish." "Yes, sir."
