As a sort of initiation onto the team, Coulson was having Lincoln spend some time with each department. This day, he was hanging out with Mack in the garage.
When Lincoln arrived, Mack greeted him with a handshake.
"Before we get started, I just wanted to apologize for knocking you out," Mack said. "No hard feelings?"
Lincoln registered a slight bit of shock at the revelation. He hadn't known who had done it, but was relieved to find out.
"Oh, no. No hard feelings," Lincoln responded with a smile. "It was a crazy time, extenuating circumstances and all that."
"Good. Have you spent any time in a garage?" Mack asked the newcomer.
"I've tinkered a bit, but nothing serious."
"Well today, I'd appreciate the help with this tune up."
"No problem."
Mack popped the hood on the SUV and got everything ready to work, pulling over a cart of tools.
"Are there any tools here that you are unfamiliar with?"
Lincoln looked over the cart and shook his head. He was pretty sure he knew each one.
"Good, we can get started then." Mack walked to the other side of the vehicle. First he did a visual check for any leaks. Not noticing any, he leaned in and asked Lincoln for a wrench.
The Inhuman found the requested tool and placed it in Mack's hand.
"Ouch!" Mack dropped the wrench and shook his hand.
"What happened?" Lincoln asked innocently.
"Just a bit of a shock. Strange, this place is specially built to avoid those."
"Oh, it is? Hmm, wonder how that happened," Lincoln replied. "Maybe it was just a fluke?"
Mack stared at the man. "Yeah, maybe."
He picked up the wrench and got back to work. A few minutes later, he asked for another tool.
Once again, Lincoln found it and handed it to Mack.
"Ow! Okay, what's going on?"
"What do you mean?"
"One time, is a fluke, twice is not," Mack stated, then remembered something. "... what's your power?"
Lincoln opened his hand and let a few sparks fly from his fingers and palm.
"Sorry, payback's a bitch."
"Okay, I'll give you those, Sparky, but no more, deal?"
"Deal!"
