Silver winter fest
Ward sat sifting through old hydra files, his gun on top of a stack of files to his right. His eyes scanned over each page, before it landed on a reference to the name of Artic Rose. He sat up straighter as his full attention was now devoted to the report. He was shocked about what he was reading, but all in all relieved that he now had an advantage that SHIELD had no knowledge about. He looked to the door and shouted "Rodriguez!" A large muscular man entered the room stone faced " Sir?" Ward looked impassively to his agent before saying "I need you to find the Arctic Rose, go through all the files that we have. I want to know where this asset is and how to access it, and I want this information immediately."
Rodriguez marched out of the room while Ward sits back in his chair, he rubs his scruff in thought before he grabs his phone and hits one of the speed dials. "Agent Rumlow, I need you on the first flight out here ASAP." A second later he ends the call and looks down at a picture frame on the desk, The frame holds a picture of Skye. " I will have you Skye... With this Ace, not even your inhuman buddies can stop me now."
Meanwhile in undisclosed location.
"Come on Lincoln! There is no way that's happening!" playfully exclaimed Skye with a determined look. Lincoln smirked before leaning forward and cockily replying "C5." Skye's eyes narrowed but she remained quiet, refusing to say anything while Lincoln's smirk widen as he taunted "Say it... Come on Skye... SAY IT." Skye smiled as she replied " Miss! E 1" Lincoln looked startled before he whispered in shock "You sunk my battleship..." Skye beamed before exclaiming "Yes!" Director Coulson came walking past and casually said "Dajavu... We have mission, briefing in ten." Both inhumans looked to each other confused before shrugging and cleaning up the Battleship game.
"Simon Mathis, he did a nickle for petty theft, however it seems that he has stepped up his game." says Coulson before swiping the screen, several images of a blond five foot ten medium build tattooed man. May swipes a picture onto the screen " He got out two years ago, he was off radar until two days ago when he went and he suddenly appeared at a bar where he met." she starts before sliding another picture on screen that made Skye's fist clench as she growled "Ward." Hunter rolled his eyes "How is that guy still bloody alive?" he exclaimed in annoyance making Fitzsimmons frown in agreement.
Coulson clears his throat " This is the first time Ward has surfaced since the inhuman incident." Simmons frowns "The last message we received from him stated that Agent 33s death would be avenged and he would make Agent Skye see the light." Everyone looked to Skye to see that she went completely blank of any emotion making everyone look back at the Director " We need to find Simon Mathis, find out what his connection with Ward is and if necessary put a stop to what Ward is planning."
Lincoln looks at everyone before asking "Any suggestions on where to start?" Skye frowned while Fitzsimmons began muttering about several different options, however none of them getting high points in succeeding. Skye sighed "I will reach out to a few people through the web and through our inhuman network, it's possible they might know or find a way to get us that information." Coulson nodded his approval and Skye walked out of the room followed by Lincoln. "Meanwhile I want Bobbie and Hunter to go to the bar and canvass the area, see if by any chance Ward is a regular or any other known hydra associates."
Bobbie and Hunter both nodded before turning on their heels and whispering as they left the room. Coulson turned to Fitzsimmons and said "Your dismissed until we have further Intel." The science duo both walked out of the room leaving May and Coulson to sigh and watch the video screen as Skye and Lincoln both grabbed their gear to leave the base in search for answers. "Are you sure we should keep them teamed up together?" asked May with an impassively blank face. Coulson shrugged "They have bonded and unlike Ward he is pretty easy to read, Lincoln cares for her and I think that that bond will keep them safe. Besides they both have powerful abilities it will take an army to separate them."
Three hours later
Skye and Lincoln both walked through the streets of Los Angeles dressed in casual summer clothing, blending into the surrounding crowds perfectly. " So why are we in Los Angeles again? " he asks looking to her with a smile. Skye looks at him before rolling her eyes and once again explained "I was talking to one of my contacts about Ward's location, he didn't have any info on Ward. But he did have information on a inhuman here in LA." Lincoln's eyebrows shot up into his hairline and his body slightly tensed before he asked "One of our kind? What do we know about him? Age, abilities, is he the only one and when was the guy exposed to the terrigen crystals?"
Skye pursed her lips stopped walking ,to look at him as she crossed her arms and amusingly replied "Who said anything about the inhuman being a He? Actually the possible inhuman is a she. Her name is Elizabeth Rogers, age 23 no family and abilities are something related to the weather I think. However if my contact knows about her then that means Hydra or another organization could target her." Lincoln nodded organizing the information within his mind before asking "So are we headed to her home or..?" She shrugged "Actually we are headed to her work... It's an intelligence firm at the end of the block."
Lincoln and Skye walked briskly into the office where she was greeted by a cheerful blonde secretary. "Welcome to Winter Intelligence Firm, my name is Alisha how may I help you?" she asks looking between the two with a welcoming smile. Skye looked to Lincoln gesturing for him to speak "Hi, we were wondering if we could talk with Elizabeth Rogers it's kind of important." Alisha moved behind her desk and began typing on her computer scanning over the list of Ms. Rogers appointments. "She should be available, let me go get her for you." she said before gesturing for them to take a seat as she walked down the hall to presumably her bosses office.
A few minutes later Alisha returned with a smiling brunette that was average height and weight, and was wearing a pencil skirt business suit. "Hi, I am Elizabeth Rogers. How can I help you two today?" Lincoln and Skye smiled to each other before Skye pushed her hands into her jean pockets and spoke "Hi, I am Skye and this is Lincoln, we were wondering if we could speak with you for a few minutes?It is important." Elizabeth's eyebrows furrowed before she gestured towards the front door "Um... Yes of course. I was just about to get lunch, would you two care to join me? (Both Lincoln and Skye shrug) Alisha redirect all calls to my cell."
Elizabeth led the way to the nearby diner shop, Skye and Lincoln both walked behind her whispering "What's the plan?" asks Lincoln making Skye quietly reply "First find out if anything suspicious has been happening and then we go from there." Lincoln nodded as the two entered the diner, sat at a booth and ordered food. "So what exactly is going on Ms. Skye and Mr. Lincoln? " asked Elizabeth taking a sip of her cold Diet Coke. Skye took a deep breath "We work very closely with an agency that has become aware that you could be in danger Ms. Rogers." Elizabeth began coughing as she sucked in too much soda as she gasped at the same time, both inhumans looked at each other slightly uneasy.
"Why?... Why would I be in danger? Who would be after me? I am a no body!" she whispered loudly across to them making her look frightened and confused. Lincoln cleared his throat before asking "Has anything strange happened over the last few days? Sudden computer hack, Un marked cars in the neighborhood, people seemingly watching you?" She began to shake her head negatively "Nothing at all, like I said before I am harmless and no one should be interested in me." Skye opened her mouth to reply only for her phone to buzz alerting her to a text message. She opened the text and her fist clenched as she saw a picture of her, Lincoln and Elizabeth taken a minute before.
"We are being watched, Lincoln any ideas?" she asked showing the picture to him, casually she looked around the diner for any cameras or other devices. "Not the security cameras it's the wrong angle, meaning it's from a phone." he replied before gesturing to Elizabeth and saying "It's not safe here, we have to leave." Elizabeth's eyes widen before her head whipped around wildly looking for any obvious signs of danger, Skye sighed before saying "It was sent to my phone so that means they are after me, Lincoln go with Ms. Rogers get her to safety we will meet up after I lose the tail." Elizabeth looked like she was ready to protest but upon Skye almost completely bolting out the door and throwing some money down on the table she decided to go along with.
She scrambled to grab her purse just as Lincoln came to her side and pulled her out the back door. Skye moved quickly out the door and casually looked over her shoulder only to see three men in black clothing moving towards her with blank faces. She took off running, completely ignoring the fact that she was running into people. Skye turned the corner and ran straight into a wall of muscle , pushing her back and onto the ground. Skye huffed before getting to her feet "Oh my gosh! I am sorry I didn't see you. Are you okay!?" exclaimed a man with blonde hair and dark roots with a very Russian sounding accent. He looked her over for any obvious signs of injuries but found none "It's okay I am fine. I got to go." she says before bolting past him.
Pietro watches her for a moment before shaking his head and stating "Women in tis country are very weird."
