A/N: I normally dont put Authors note cause ... cause I don't like it but I make exceptions once in a while. Just to inform you all this story will follow the show. Only adding my OC Hayley Collins. Everything you see and don't recognize are my own changes. I don't own Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D it would be cool if I did. :)
With that, I add that I only own Hayley Collins and her storyline as well as if you see Amy other character not shown in the show.
Thank you for reading and I hope you like it :)
New York - SHIELD's headquarters - 1403 hours
Hayley glanced over the window as they reached a building, she had been quiet all the fly back to America, thing the Agents escorting her didn't mind as she thought them to be boring. She didn't even spared them a glance.
Once the car stopped, Hayley didn't bother to say goodbye as she climbed down smoothing her cardigan walking towards the building. Her dark clothes had been replaced for jeans and a red sleeveless shirt, a scar and her cardigan.
It was her way to mock SHIELD on their clothing style.
As soon as walked inside, she made a face at the robot looking agents pacing from one room to another. She stalked forward, purposely marking each step she made as if she were angry. Which she wasn't, only annoyed by being pulled out of her mission, mission she wasn't fine with it in the first place
Like she had told Max Jens the night before, she wasn't on SHIELD willingly. She had been given an ultimatum. Work for us or rot in the Fridge.
The Fridge being a type of prison/Jail where SHIELD stored dangerous people or objects. According to SHIELD, she fit into the dangerous people category so it was safe to say which option Hayley chose.
No one wants to rot in a prison cell, right?
But that didn't stop her from acting the way she did. She wasn't kidding when she told Jens that she had made a deal. She had told when given the choice that if she accepted, she could react or feel the way she wanted to.
As she reached the elevator, she didn't bother on showing her ID as pretty much everyone now knew the woman. 'The Angry SHIELD agent who isn't willing working with them. An agent with authoritative issues'
As soon as she climbed the elevator, she pushed a bottom which allowed the doors closing and raising her up to the floor Agent Hills was waiting. She needed to know why she was pulled out of her mission without finishing it. It was enough being trusted into one in the first place when she didn't want to and then been pulled out of it.
The elevator electronic voice pulled her out of her thoughts as it made its way up. She liked those elevators. They were made of glass and she could see New York from up there. She looked back to the front when an hologram appeared in front of her, making her sigh in annoyance as the elevator stopped moving.
She looked up at the camera, allowing the thing to scan her face and give her access to continue moving or she would have stayed trapped.
"Agent Hayley Collins, level 7, Access granted" Along the electronic elevator voice, her SHIELD badge appeared in front of her, showing her basic information
COLLINS HAYLEY
Tittle
SPECIALIST
Sex Hair Height
F BRN 5-02
With that, also the expiration date and her card serial number.
Hayley sighed impatiently rolling her eyes at the music she was sure Agent Fury had installed and was relieved of it when the doors opened. She walked out of the elevator as soon as they did, not wanting to be listening to that music another minute
Hayley seemed to know where she was going as she reached a glassed room where she saw the back of Agent Hill and another Agent. Analyzing his posture she could he as well was a specialist used to danger. Not the same specialist as her but she could tell the cockiness from miles away.
Next to them was another Agent, this one differently to the others was wearing a grey suit making a small smile to play on her lips. Her eyes flickering to the big screen in front of her as she made her way inside.
In the screen she saw an obviously gifted man saving a woman from a fire. Her eyebrows knitted together seeing every Agent with their undivided attention to him, making her press her lips together in a thin line.
She knew the tactic of SHIELD in that case. Find him. Befriend him or threaten him or even arrest him. She wasn't sure as SHIELD could be unpredictable sometimes. But one thing was sure...
Once SHIELD had their eyes on you, gifted of not. There's no way you can hide from them.
Hayley Collins, herself being an example of that.
Hayley crossed her arms walking to stand behind Agent Hill, speaking as loudly she could, making sure to add annoyance in her words "Can you tell me why the hell did you pull me out from my mission?"
Her loud and calm voice startled some agents watching the screens and looked behind them to find said rebel Agent looking at their superior with her hand in her hip, tilting her head aside.
Agent Hill turned around, unfazed by the Agent's snapping. Hayley seemed impatient and angry as she raised her eyebrows expectantly.
"Agent Collins, welcome back" Hill greeted calmly with a curt nod of her head.
The brunette agent scoffed rolling her grey eyes. The other Agent watching with furrowed eyebrows
"Don't give me that crap, Maria, I want answers" Agent Collins demanded, making Agent Hill chuckled a bit
"Why don't you let him explain you?" Agent Hill answered her gesturing at the gray suited agent next to her, who hadn't yet to turn around to face the young Agent.
The old man had a small smile playing on his lips as he turned around stepping forward to Hayley.
"Hello, Hayley" He greeted, making her uncross her arms in slight surprise. She was so used to everyone calling her by her surname by now she still couldn't get used to someone calling her name like this Agent
"Philip" Hayley smiled waving at him, smiling lightly.
Agent Hill looked between them with a sigh, turning to Agent Collins
"Agent Collins, the reason you were taken out of your mission was because Agent Coulson has requisitioned a mobile command unit, to which you and Agent Ward are assigned" Hill explained, nodding her head at the agent next to her.
Said agent scoffed in annoyance and Hayley smirked at him in amusement
"We already explained to him what we need" Agent Coulson told her quietly, looking at the big screen where Hayley could now tell that the recording from the gifted man was coming from The Rising Tide, a hackers' group
Agent Coulson knew Hayley pretty well and knew what reaction would be with the situation. That's why he needed her
Hayley narrowed her eyes at them
"You want him, don't you?" It wasn't a question, but still Coulson nodded with a hopeful smile glancing at the brunette. He knew was taking a chance by asking that, she knew how she reacted towards cases where gifted people were concerned and he needed that reaction.
Hayley shifted her weight to another leg, conflicted. She didn't know what do...
Well, by now she knew she had no choice in the matter if Agent Hill was commanding it. But Coulson was asking...
At difference of other agents, she liked Agent Coulson. He was the one putting her out of a sticky direction but in the moment, putting her on SHIELD's radar. But he hadn't been threatening about it. He never forced her to make a choice or treated her like a criminal deserving going to the Fridge. She hated S.H.I.E.L.D, that was for sure but she didn't hate Coulson, who had helped her become the agent she was now...
So, what to choose?
