Intrusion Chapter 3

"Are we there yet?" asked Fitz, "I'm starting to become doo-lally"

"We haven't even reached the bridge yet" asserted Coulson. "Keep moving".

It was decided that two of the team would stay at the entrance just in case this march inside the blue box turned out to be a ruse. May and Ward volunteered almost immediately, which was surprising to Coulson, but he accepted. Now he, Skye, and Fitzsimmons were trekking through this weird structure. While the corridors all looked the same and matched the traditional look of an outer space device or vehicle, the rooms were from all different styles of architecture. There was a swimming pool, a library, and what appeared to be some sort of enclave with ivy vines all over the walls. It was amazing to all of them, but especially to Fitzsimmons, who were calculating in their heads how this was all possible.

And whatever they had attempted to come up with was soon blown away when they finally came to the bridge.

It was the size of the George Washington Bridge. But it was in the style of the covered bridges of New England, except the walls were not made of wood; they were made of high strength glass, which was also the material for the floor. It was an awe inspiring sight. Below them was a river that flowed slowly. The river seemed to disappear into the horizons on each side. And that was another outstanding feature. The sky was still light but the sun was setting as if it were dusk.

"What is with this place?" questioned Skye "How far does it go? And why do I feel so relaxed?"

"I don't know but it is very fascinating." Simmons replied and she pulled out some sort of meter. "Ah. Apparently this ro…area is filled with positive ions. That explains the tranquility of it."

"Can we just rest here for a wee minute? I'm tuckered out" asked Fitz, who was bringing up the rear, "Besides how d'we know that this is the right way?" Before everybody turned to look at him like he was an idiot, he defended himself "I'mean, how d'we know there isn't more than one bridge in'ere?"

"We followed the voice's directions to the letter. I'm sure this is the right way." stated Coulson. "Come on, let's go."

"Och" grunted Fitz in frustration.

10 minutes later, they were still on the bridge, and even Coulson was beginning to doubt himself. Maybe the atmosphere of peace clouded his judgment. But then suddenly, he noticed something.
"Get down!" he ordered and everybody obliged.

"Fitz, hand me the binoculars." He took them and put them to his eyes. He saw what appeared to be a girl sat down, leaning on the wall of the bridge. The girl was dark haired and appeared to be svelte in stature and body type. Surely this was not an enemy soldier. But he had seen stranger sights before.

He took down the binoculars and laid out his plan. "There appears to be somebody waiting for us up there. She doesn't look violent, but you can't be too careful. We'll move in as a team, but in case of trouble, I want you ready to move. Fitzsimmons, I want you guys to bail it back to the entrance. I've left infra-red markers indicating our path. Skye, you and me will have to try and stall this person or subdue her if things get out of hand. Are we clear?"

They all nodded. "Good, then we can proceed."

Skye and Coulson advanced as a pair with Fitzsimmons trailing for an easier escape route.

As they were nearing the creature, she seemed to sense their approach and turned towards them.

"Oh good, you made it. I was starting to wonder if he was going to leave me here on guard forever." She stood up and moved towards them. Skye and Coulson had their hands on their weapons. The tension mounted considerably, until for Skye it cracked.

As the girl reached out her hand, Skye pulled out her weapon, and in her best TV Cop voice, she yelled "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, BITCH!" The girl was stunned and backed off.

Coulson shook his head is embarrassment. "Nice job, Kojak" he said sarcastically and pushed her arm down. He then turned to the girl, who also was now on edge. "You have to excuse her, she's relatively new to this line of work. My name is Phil Coulson, what's your name?" he asked in an attempt to defuse the situation.

The girl regained her composure. "Clara Oswald. I'm here to guide you the rest of the way."

"Nice to meet you. This is Skye and these two behind me are collectively known as Fitzsimmons." The scientists waved and immediately came up to talk, noticing Clara's English accent.

"Tis a verre interesting place." mused Fitz "But how…."

"Don't worry. The Doctor will tell you when we meet him. Speaking of which, we better get going."

As Clara led the procession further along the bridge, Simmons whispered to Fitz,

"What did she mean about a Doctor? Doctor who?"

AN: Please review and we'll see where it goes.
