Hey guys! Special shout out to alexia1012 for the review! I think this chapter will kinda be like the last one as the new team meets for the first time! I'm very excited to see how this chapter comes out, and all the rest! *NOTE*: This story is set before the Season One Finale! Continue to read and review! Enjoy! –J
Jason's POV:
As soon as Coulson's car pulled up in my yard, my stomach was filled with butterflies. I was nervous to meet the team, to fulfill the task Coulson has placed on us. Coulson smiled and stuck out his hand. I grabbed it and smiled back, but it felt like I could throw up at any minute.
"Nice to see you Agent Seeds!" said Coulson. "Please, call me Jason." "Are you ready to meet the team?" I didn't know how to reply. I knew Coulson wanted me to be a leader, but I'm not much of the leader type person. It feels like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. "It's now or never Agent Coulson." He smiles in return.
After about three hours of driving, we got to the SHIELD "HQ". The new HQ is really just a underground storage room filled with all the SHIELD agents that Coulson and his team could find. "This is where you will be spending the rest of the year. Now, we don't have any bedrooms but all the information on any research after the Hydra takeover is in this room." Coulson says.
I see people frantically typing away on computers. Whatever is going on in here must be pretty serious. "But what could be going on in here if SHIELD has been destroyed?" I asked Coulson. "Tracking down John Garrett." Coulson says. He must have seen the confused look on my face because he says, "We have a lot of stuff to tell you Jason." He then leads me to another room where I see the team for the first time.
In this room I see two twins who seem to be arguing about something to do with Microsoft Excel, a girl with thick brown hair with her nose stuck in a book, and another girl with blond curls that has headphones stuck into her ears. 'Great, this team seems to be getting along well.' I think to myself. Coulson clears his throat in an attempt to get the teams attention, but of course that fail. I try to help him. "HEY!" I shout. The whole team looks up at me in shock. "Impressive." Coulson says.
"Alright guys. Sorry for the late arrival, we got stuck in some traffic. Anyways, this is Jason Seeds, your team leader." Coulson says. I wave my hand and one of the twins actually waves back. "He wasn't waving to say hi Adam, he was waving to show you who he was!" The other twin says. "No, he was waving to sa-" "Jason, they are Adam and Allan. They are the hackers on the team." Coulson says. Allan raises his hand and signifies that he was born 11 minutes before Adam.
Coulson then points at the girl who has went back to reading after Adam and Allan's argument. "That is Maria McCollum. She's the smart one. Give her any problem and she will fix it, or at least try to." Maria holds out her hand and I shake it. 'She seems nice enough."
The next, and last, girl is a lot more interesting than the others. "I think you will like this one. In 1948, a group of people got together and created SHIELD. One of those people was Peggy Carter. This is Peggy's granddaughter, Sara Carter." I look at Sara and think about the history her grandmother brought to the world. The name Peggy Carter sounds familiar, but I will have to look into that later.
"So this is your team. It's time for you to take control Seeds." Coulson says. With a shaky voice, I say, "Alright team. It was nice to meet all of you. I know this team has a lot of potential. So we are going to get to business right away!"
Then the lights go out, and we are surrounded by complete darkness.
A quote my dad once said shivers through me. "Out of the darkness. Into the light."
