New story! And I do intend to continue this unlike my other one. This story is going to be an OQ AU in the Agents of Shield world. If you don't watch AoS fear not, for you can still read this (Promo Police: I do recommend watching it if you don't it's really good.) I hope you enjoy. Remember your feedback is always appreciated and without further ado, Shield my heart.
He ran.
He ran like hell.
He ran as fast as his legs could bloody take him.
But it wasn't fast enough.
He wound up surrounded by police on all sides. With no escape.
Freeze!
Don't move!
Get down on your knees and put your hands behind your head!
And he had obliged out of fear of being shot by the many, many, many semi-automatic weapons pointed at him. And leaving his little boy alone. An orphan. And then from above a bright blue whirlwind came out of nowhere circling all the officers. Robin had to take one of his arms down to shield his eyes and once the light died down and he slowly moved his arm he gasped.
All the officers were frozen.
He looked down at both of his hands in horror.
"First I melt everything I look at and now I'm freezing things?!" He shouts.
"That wasn't you it was me." Comes a voice from behind and Robin turns sharply looking at the source of the voice. A man. He almost looks like one of the militia with armor on but his arms are blue and look like they're frozen. He has blue eyes, short brown hair and looks pretty buff. He walks towards Robin and officers his frozen looking hand and Robin just stares at it for a second before looking back up at his face.
"David Nolan, I work for S.H.I.E.L.D, I'm here to help you."
S.H.I.E.L.D? What the hell is that?
David sighs.
"You don't know what S.H.I.E.L.D is do you?"
Robin shakes his head.
"Well, in short, we help people like you that have powers. We protect you from people like this." He says gesturing to the frozen militia around them.
Robin can't process this information right now. This day has been ridiculous. All he wanted to do was drop his son off at school and then go to Starbucks and get a venti caramel cocoa cluster Frappuccino, a guilty pleasure of his. But he had been feeling hot the morning anyway and was looking to cool himself down then while at work he had gotten progressively frustrated when his credit card was frozen for suspicious fraudulent activity and then some asshat thought it'd be nice to let the air out of the tires for his car and he just got warmer and warmer. So he went back to Starbucks to cool himself down again. And when the barista gave him his Cool Lime Refresher with a smile on her face it quickly turned to a frown when she jerked back from his touch and screamed. He looked down and saw his beverage melt dripping from his hands and as he looked back up he saw that she clutched her hand that had a scorch mark. What the hell had he done? He had apologized profusely but she was having none of it and she ran off frightened. He walked out of the store knowing that all eyes were on him, the handle to the door not only melting when he touched it but catching on fire making him gasp, but he continued out the store running this time. Just as he got outside he heard sirens warring in the distance and swore before running off down the alley knowing his car would be of no use. And that's how he ended up in the middle of route 40 surrounded by police on his hands thinking he was about to go to jail or be executed to talking to this strange… ice man.
"Look, either you can sit there and deal with these officers on your own or you can come with me to safety." David tells him. Robin hesitantly takes the hand he forgot David had offered him and stood up.
"What's your name?" He asks.
"Robin. Robin Locksley."

He remembers that day like it was yesterday. Scared out of his mind. Confused. He remembers all the things he was called that day.
A murderer. A criminal. A monster.
He remembers that as he looks at the calendar. February 1st. 3 years since that day. Now he's a S.H.I.E.L.D agent. Helping inhumans; people with super powers of some sort. And he's never loved his job more.
"Agent Locksley!" He hears his boss Gold yell. Robin sighs finishing marking off his calendar before turning around.
"Sir."
"Get ready, we have an inhuman in trouble." And with that Robin grabs his neutralizing gun in case the inhuman is hesitant while they're in a tough spot with police and need to retreat quickly. He puts on his armor and heads off with the rest of his team.
David Nolan has ice powers. He can freeze anything he chooses.
Mary Margaret Blanchard is telekinetic which Robin is quite jealous of.
Mallory Chencia has fire powers like Robin does but she's limited to only fire while Robin can also melt himself into a puddle if he needs to.
Emma Swan. And she actually isn't an inhuman herself but she's great at martial arts and likes helping to help inhumans like everyone else here.
And his boss Robert Gold is also not inhuman, he just gives the orders.
There are other but they stay here and don't get physical or have powers they do other things that make S.H.I.E.L.D what it is now.
He joins his team walking out of their hidden base and getting into their SUV and heading to where the trouble is. And it didn't take long as he saw a whole group of police cars surrounding what looked like a woman with long black hair that went down to her waist. Her hands were up and she was shaking as she slowly lowered to her knees.
"Gold we have the target, what are our orders?"
"I want Nolan to freeze the officers but I want Locksley to take care of the inhuman."
"On it." they said as they got out of the SUV.
They ran toward the commotion quietly sneaking behind and stopped. David took a deep breath and raised his arms sharply the action freezing the officers from the ground up. He turned to his partner satisfied.
"She's all yours." He nodded. Robin ran through the officers to just behind the woman. She must've not noticed him because she remained on her knees facing away from him.
"Milady." She turned around with her eyes wide as she studied her surroundings noticing the frozen officers.
"You didn't do that, don't worry."
Her eyes got wide as she backed away from him.
"Y-you have…powers too?" She asked.
"I do but I didn't freeze these officers, my partner did."
He thinks that'll calm her but it only seems to scare her even more as she jumps to her feet with her hands up and backs away from him.
"Please! Don't hurt me! I-I don't know how any of this has happened!" She quickly says.
Robin can tell she won't be willingly going anywhere with him but tries anyway. He puts his hands up too to show he won't hurt her.
"Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you. I want to help. I work for S.H.I.E.L.D."
Her brows furrow in confusion and he waits for the question he knows is coming.
"What's S.H.I.E.L.D?"
And then both their heads turn sharply to the left as they hear sirens. It's got to be reinforcements. They don't have much time.
"I'm sorry Miss."
She turns to look at him confused.
"Sorry for w-" But she's abruptly cut off as he quickly reaches down and pulls out his neutralizing gun and shoots her in the shoulder. She yelps and falls unconscious her veins and arteries turning blue. Robin rushes over to her and picks her up bridal style and turns back running back to David and they run to the SUV and they return to their base.
