In the heart of Manhattan at a small scale coffee shop sat two men, Agent Coulson sat sipping on his cup staring at the young man across from him. The young man wore a black suit similar to his except this man was younger maybe in his mid-20s. Coulson idly kept twittering his thumb on his mug "is this why you came by Mason? After all these years this is what brings you around?" he asked, there was a hint of resentment in Coulson's voice as he spoke but the younger man seemed understanding of his attitude
"Would you like a top off Hun?" the waitress asked pouring the coffee before either one answered her. When the waitress departed it was Mason who spoke,
"I know it's unfair to ask Pony but I need a team and I'd rather it someone I know and trust… there's no one else to ask since…" Mason was abruptly cut off by Coulson's cell phone singing out.
"Coulson here" he answered "uh-huh, uh-huh. Understood agent Hill on my way" Coulson hung up his phone and started paying out his bill "I'm sorry Mason but there's an emergency at work, we'll finish this talk later…" Coulson looked to Mason his eyes had hardened into a more serious stare "if you have the evidence you say you do I'll hear you out later. It was good seeing you again…strange but good" he finished before leaving the shop.
Mason however remained seated at his table stirring his cup watching people pass by and constantly checking his watch before sighing in defeat "Pony…hasn't changed in 11 years" he muttered before he to stood up to face a young red headed teenage girl "well that's a bust" he told her.
The girls jaded green eyes traveled along the café "thought he said he'd hear you out though?" she replied.
Mason smirked a little at the girls naivety she was talented but inexperienced "trust me Vexi it's a bust Coulson's too much of a tight ass these days. Whose left on the list?" he asked.
Vexi pulled a brown file from her table and flipped through the pages, multiple pictures with red crosses covering them "after Phil "Ponytail" Coulson was…there's no one after Coulson this Richard guy is dead" she replied.
Mason nodded but a new pondering look crossed his face "Richard had a son, he'd be your age by now…I'm sure Ben and May will understand why I'm coming to them after so long in solitude"
Coulson sat behind the wheel of his car on his way to his pickup point but his thoughts were elsewhere more specifically to his younger years as a Shield field operative and his strike team.
(Flashback)
Green horn Agent Phil Coulson was sitting in the briefing room awaiting his new teammates. Director Sawyer had given him his first shot at a leadership position with the new Shadow Squadron strike team "Agent Alice Griffon reporting for duty sir" came a very disciplined and advocated voice from the doorway catching Coulson's attention. She was tall for a woman her age but she was lean and sleek with wavy waterfall brunette hair, she stood at attention awaiting her commanding officers orders,
But Coulson merely brushed his ponytail over his shoulder and smiled a calm and laid back smile "we're not the military Agent Griffon there's no need to stand on attention" he explained. The young woman looked slightly taken aback by his relaxed attitude and hesitantly found a seat at the table. "So your file says you're a mission tactician very good"
"Yes sir! I spent 3 years with Marines and planned 221 successful missions sir!"
"Christ! Is she serious? I thought we left this strict stick up the ass crap back at Brag?" joked Agent Mason as he himself accompanied by another young man with chestnut brown hair "sheesh well captain Parker shall we take a seat or do we gotta ask permission?"
(3 years after)
It was just a routine assignment sit and observe but things were complicated this time. Richard the Lion heart Parker and Mason Traverse the Shadow Fox were backed into a corner their pistols were emptied and left with their swords.
They fought with everything they had, blood and bodies quickly covered the floor. The casualties were high but in the end in coordination with the CIA they were able to rescue the Canadian asset and Richard had become smitten by a young woman from the Agency Marry Fitzpatrick (end Flashback)
"that was a long time ago" Coulson sighed "the good times…before the triskilion was compromised and the team was systematically annihilated…why would he come out of hiding now claiming he has the evidence of who targeted us?" a lot of memories and thoughts crossed Coulson's mind but he had to ignore them for it was time to go to work. Norman Osbourne had relapsed into the green Goblin again and even turned Spider-man's team into goblins "Hill I'm here where's the package?" he asked.
"Package is on route Coulson but you'll have to deliver on the go Spider-mans in trouble" Hill replied through the communicator.
During the Goblins mayhem S.H.I.E.L.D Mason and Vexi returned to an undisclosed location hidden from public and all seeing eyes where they were residing "where are the others? He asked as he scanned the room seeing the empty cots on the floor
"I imagine they're training again" Vexi replied, Mason made his way to his computer and began searching through files ever since his meeting with Coulson he had become so vexed with something and it was eating at her. Vexi was Masons second in command yet he was withholding something from her "Fox, why aren't leaving Coulson shot you down?"
Mason kept pressing keys screen shots barely even becoming glimpses to Vexis eyes a few key words did catch her attention Shadow Squadron. Richard Parker survived by Brother, sister in law and 6 year old son Peter "you're tracking your old teammates son down? Sir he's an untrained civilian he'll hinder the team too greatly!" she protested.
"ha-ha" Mason smugly chuckled "Vexi this kids father was the most effective agent you'd ever meet his uncle was the most hard ass military training commander and his mom was a brilliant analyst for the company, it's in his blood a little bit of proper training will bring it out…besides it'll be more poetically fitting if the son dispatches the murderer of his parents" Mason explained "stay here and wait for the others I'll be back shortly get the spare cot on board the Cimmerian made up and find some gear for practice" he ordered before leaving again.
a familiar face returns from Coulson's past asking for help with evidence of prior events.
the Stranger Mason Traverse ( A.K.A Shadow fox) is now looking into recruiting Peter Parker believing him to be an asset if he was anything like Ben and Richard, both of whom he seems to know.
who is this Shadow Fox and why does he need a team, what are his intentions and what part does Peter have to play?
