Project W017 2.0 chapter 2

May walked with Daisy through the halls as they had just finished their workout session, she was now going to work with the gifted individuals on controlling their gifts so May went to find Phil. He was in his office going over paperwork but sensed her presence and looked up at her when she stepped through the door and smiled at her.

"You know I still can't believe how much paperwork is involved even after all these years. I thought I was on top of it but I came in this morning and there was a new stack...I am starting to see why Maria complains so much." He stated sitting back in the chair looking over May. "How was training?" He asked

"Daisy was upset that Alexa was transferred." May stated

"You know why she was." Phil replied and May only huffed. "I am glad we are finally bringing her on to this project." He added "that is if she agrees, what if she doesn't agree? What if we lose her because of this?" He asked now slightly panicking.

"She will agree." May states

"How do you know?" He asked

"Because you are on it." May simply replied.

"True, and you are as is Fitz and Simmons. Yes she will agree. Maria will be here tonight." He added

"I know, she is bringing Natasha." May smiled she was looking forward to sparring with her again.

Daisy was nervous, she was called into conference room 3. She knew Natasha Romanoff was here and Commander Hill she knew Coulson and May had been with them all afternoon as she worked with the gifted individuals. She stood outside the door for what felt like ages until she worked up the courage to enter the room. Not only was she meeting an avenger but also May's previous rookie. When she entered the room she felt like she was once again a child entering the principal's office. She looked over at Coulson and May but it seemed that Commander Hill would be leading this conversation. Daisy sat and listened as Maria started talking she had to admit she had no idea where this conversation was going until Maria pulled out a file. On the top it was labelled classified with a clearance higher then hers and the name of the project. Project W017. She figured she was being read into this project and that her team were part of it, she knew all along that they had been keeping something from her and for a long time it had bugged her and now she was finally getting the answers.

"Let it be known that once you read this there is no going back, by opening that file you are agreeing to be part of this. Are you sure you want this?" Maria warned her and Daisy looked up at her as she seemed to calculate what she was wanting. She opened the folder.

She could not believe what she was reading, the room was in a tense silence as they watched the young agent before them read through the file.

"You want me part of this?" Daisy asked

"Yes."

"Why now?" Daisy asked she had been part of the team for three years and only now they were reading her in.

"We were going to bring you in earlier but then a lot had happened. Hydra trying to take over, you getting powers...this project has been on hold for a while." Maria replied

"I need some space." Daisy said getting up but noted that Natasha Romanoff was blocking the door.

"Let her go." Maria said and Natasha stepped to the side as the young agent left the room. Maria could feel Phil's emotions as did May who had placed a hand on his leg. Daisy headed to one of the SUVs and sat in the back, it had been a while since she has done this and the comfort of the enclosed space helped her think and digest everything she had read. Human experimentation on wolf DNA practically making werewolves part of her really wanted to laugh at that. This was so ridiculous and out there she could not believe it. Then she looked down at her hands and thought how she has powers and how accepting her team was of her. She sighed, she knew what she was going to do. Despite knowing what she was going to do she waited in the suv for over an hour when she decided to go in search of Coulson and May. Surprised that they were still in the conference room.

"When do you want to start?" She asked looking at those in the room who turned to her when she entered.

"Now if you are ready." Maria replied she could feel the relief come off Phil as Daisy nodded. "Great go grab your go bag, we will meet you at the quin jet." Maria stated seeming they will be taking Daisy to a safe place away from other agents, knowing that the next few weeks for Daisy will be hard.

It had been two weeks since Izzy and Alexa had returned to the hub and in that time they have been training. Alexa was introduced to Victoria Hand as Izzy's wife and soul mate, both agents noticed the confused look on her face when they said they were soul mates but neither questioned it. Izzy has finally taken off the power dampening gloves as Alexa was once again working on an engine.

"Hey we have a mission. Briefing in ten." Izzy told her so Alexa quickly finished what she was doing before going to the briefing room. Where Agent Hand was with another agent and both of them were wearing serious expressions.

"Agent Shaw this is Agent Morse and Agent 22 the four of you will be taking this assignment." Victoria stated handing Alexa a folder as she flipped through it. She looked to Izzy who was standing next to Agent Morse, she nodded before they all left the briefing after Victoria had all the details lined out. Sam had went to get her bag and met Izzy and Bobbie at a quin jet.

"Alexa, Bobbie and Sam,...Sam, Bobbie meet Alexa." Izzy introduced they shook hands as Alexa made her way over to a seat as Bobbie went to pilot the jet. Izzy joined her in the co pilot seat leaving Alexa with her thoughts, Sam sat across from her leaving her in silence but it was clear she was assessing her.

"What?" Alexa finally asked Sam

"How old are you?" Sam asked

"20. Why?"

"You just look younger, I am looking forward to working with you."

"Can I ask a question?"

"Sure."

"You and Bobbie, you're soulmates yes?"

"Yes, Why?" Sam asked her this time.

"No reason, this mission looks interesting. Who has lead?"

"Izzy…this time."

"You have worked with her before?"

"Many times, she talks of you, she says you have potential."

"Potential?"

"You're young."

"So are you." Alexa pointed out

"Been part of SHIELD since I was 17, in this line of work…sometimes I feel old."

"Really Sam, stop messing with her." Bobbie called back making Sam grin and Alexa gave her a pointed look she was messing with her.

"Lighten up, we have two hours before we reach our destination. Besides I have a good feeling about her. Plus Izzy stole my seat." Sam stated back getting up and moving to stand behind Bobbie and look out the window before stealing a kiss on her cheek before making her way back and getting comfortable on the seat.

"Child." Izzy stated but was chuckling making Sam grin at her before turning her attention back on Alexa.

"Don't worry kid you will fit right in." Sam reassured causing Alexa to sigh, she had a feeling if she asked Sam not to call her kid the name will stick. But seeing this side of Izzy was new, she only hope she would fit in with her friends. It looked like they were a good team Alexa could tell as it seemed since they were given this assignment they had a certain look to them, a confidence she only hoped she would be able to keep up with them.
