AN1: This chapter is going to seem very similar to cannon, as the story goes on I hope to make the 'episodes' increasingly different.
There will be a chapter corresponding to each 'episode' until it gets to the point where things are going to change dramatically, and I know exactly when that will be.
AN2: Thank you so much for the amazing support. You are all so incredible. PLEASE, PLEASE, REVIEW/COMMENT. Hope you like.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D 1x01
Early the next morning having gotten ready and locked up her apartment securely Bobbi has made her way to the S.H.I.E.L.D hanger that her new team are going to be leaving from.
Finding the plane easily Bobbi walks into the cargo bay and as she does she sees, and hears, the two scientists, Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz arguing about something.
Realising that they aren't going stop anytime soon, Bobbi puts her fingers to her mouth so that she can whistle loudly, to get the attention of the two scientists. As soon as she does they turn to look at them.
"Agent Morse?" The woman, Simmons asks.
"Please, it's just Bobbi." Bobbi requests, "Agent Fitz, Agent Simmons?" she asks, looking between the pair.
"Fitz." Jemma says, pointing to Fitz.
"Simmons." Fitz says, pointing to Simmons, "I'm engineering, she's bio-chem." Fitz explains.
"Nice to meet you both." Bobbi says, "I was told I need to get my Coms receiver encoded." She says, pulling it out of her pocket and takes it over to the table where he starts to destroy it.
"You don't need the external receiver for the inner ear coms anymore." Fitz explains.
"You're going to repurpose the I.D.I.S chip." Bobbi realises, "Use embedded sensorineural silicone matched to my DNA, I just read about that I didn't realise it was being used yet." She admits.
"You read about it?" Simmons asks, as she comes to get a check swab from Bobbi, sounding surprised.
"Yeah, I'm a specialist, but I also have a Biology Degree, nothing like either of you of course, but I do know a bit." Bobbi explains.
"Good to know." Simmons says, sounding thrilled about that, but before she can say more there is the sound of a car and Phil drives into the cargo bay in a car Bobbi recognizes.
"Of course he's brining that damn car." Bobbi says, looking a little amused.
"Have you worked with Agent Coulson before?" Fitz asks, as that reaction seems at least to him, that Bobbi is familiar with Coulson.
"Yeah, many times." Bobbi answers, "My SO was his partner." Bobbi explains, causing Fitz and Simmons to exchange looks, and because of Bobbi's choice of words they can't help but think that something has happened to her SO.
"Bobbi, with me." Phil requests, as he walks to the ladder that leads upstairs.
"I look forward to getting to know you both better." Bobbi says, before following Coulson upstairs.
"This is your first time in a Mobile Command Unit, isn't it?" Phil asks as he and Bobbi head upstairs.
"No, I've been on one before, but only for a few hours. I think twenty-four hours at the most." Bobbi explains to Phil, "Though I remember all the stories you, Melinda, and Izzy used to tell."
"That may not be a good thing." Phil responds.
"I think it is, though I'm still curious about what happened between Melinda and Hand on one of these things that lead to them still not getting along today." Bobbi admits.
"I'm not going to tell you that." Phil reveals, as he is pretty sure that both Melinda and Hand would kill him if he told.
"I figured." Bobbi says, as Melinda walks up to them.
"If you plan to unpack, better make it quick." Melinda says, looking at Bobbi, "Wheels are up in five." She explains, before handing Phil a file, "We may have a hit on one of The Rising Tide's routing points." She explains.
"Good. We need to do some catching up." Phil says as Melinda heads back to the cockpit, Bobbi watching her go as she goes, "She'll be okay, and if not you'll be able to tell." He says, as Bobbi has always been good at reading May, even though most people can't.
"Yeah, I know." Bobbi says, though she is still a little worried.
"You better stow your gear." Phil says, before heading upstairs.
After Phil leaves Bobbi looks around at the bunks and sees that one bunk has been taken, and as she recognizes the bag she claims the bunk next to it as her own.
A couple of hours later Bobbi has been called to the conference area where both Phil and Melinda are.
"Once we land we're going to have to split up." Phil reveals, "Fitz-Simmons need to go to the lab to see what they can find, and they're going to need supervision, but we've also got a location of the person who posted the Rising Tide video." Phil explains.
"I'll supervise Fitz-Simmons." Melinda says.
"Then you and me will get the person who posted a video." Bobbi comments, "What do we know about them?"
"We know it's a her, but very little else. She sees to have no available information." Phil explains.
"That never happens." Melinda comments.
"I know, that's what's so interesting." Phil says, before leaving Bobbi and Melinda alone.
"So, are you going to give me a go flying this thing?" Bobbi asks curious.
"Nope." Melinda says, before leaving.
"Saw that coming." Bobbi mutters, as she knows how protective Melinda can be of Planes she considers 'hers'
A few hours later Melinda, Fitz, and Simmons have gone to investigate the lab in LA while Bobbi and Phil have gone and got the girl who posted the video and brought her back to the Bus with a bag over her head.
"You guys are making a big mistake." The girl, who is younger than Bobbi was expecting says, as they arrive back at the interrogation room and Bobbi helps the girl into the chair.
"You don't look that big." Bobbi says, and she quickly realises that being tough, playing bad cop isn't the way to get this girl to talk, "Look, I'm sorry about the bag, we've learnt that reacting quickly is best." Bobbi explains, being as kind as possible to the girl as she thinks that that will get the best response from her, "We just want to talk to you about what you know, and your group…."
"The Rising Tide." Phil says, realising what Bobbi doing.
"I don't know, what you're…." The girl says, pretending to be confused, though she clearly isn't.
"There are a lot of ways we can go about getting information from you." Bobbi explains to the girl.
"Oh. Is one of them the easy way?" the girl asks, clearly trying to make it seem like she is braver than she is.
"No." Bobbi and Phil answer together.
"Let's start with you name, what is it?" Phil asks.
"Skye."
"What's your real name?" Bobbi asks, suspecting that it's not that.
"That can wait." Phil says, "It's another name we need. A certain hero." Phil says, opening the file to show Skye what they have.
"What makes you think I know that?" Skye asks, and as she does Bobbi moves to the back of the room and watches Phil and Skye carefully.
"Well, you made a little mistake. The phone you filmed the hooded hero with had the same cryptographic signature as a few of the Rising Tide pots." Phil explains.
"Wow. Was that a mistake? Or I now sitting in the centre of your secret headquarters." Skye says, and as she does Bobbi realises that that was exactly what Skye wanted, "What is this? A plane? I got inside, and by now you've discovered you can't beat the encryption on my equipment, so you've got nothing." Skye says, and it is clear to Bobbi that Skye is rather proud of that.
"What we have is fairly strong coincide, you being on the scene right before it went up in flames. Want to tell me what my team is gonna find out?" Phil asks, and Bobbi sees the signs of someone wanting to avoid in Skye's body language, "Want to tell me what my team is gonna find out?" Phil asks, and once again Skye show signs of avoidance, "How did you know the hooded man was in the building?" Phil asks.
"Did you blow it up to draw him out?" Bobbi asks, knowing that Skye's reaction will tell her a lot.
"Did you?" Skye counters, and as she does Bobbi realises that there was flash of horror on Skye's face at the implication that it was her.
"It's not our style." Bobbi says, once more watching Skye carefully to see how she responds.
"I was just kidnapped by your 'style" Skye says annoyed, putting on a brave face, "S.H.I.E.L.D covered up New Mexico, Project Pegasus. Of course you'd be covering up Centipede." Skye says, and as she does Bobbi looks to Phil for an explanation, but he looks just as confused as she feels.
"Holy, no way." Skye says, with a laugh, "You don't know what that is." She says, and as she does Bobbi realises that Skye has some natural reading people abilities, though of course she could have learnt it over her life out of necessity, more time with the girl will tell her which, "Billions of dollars of equipment at your disposal, and I beat you with a laptop that I won in a bet?" Skye asks shocked.
"You need to think about your friend." Phil says, and as he does Bobbi notices Skye react slightly to that, "We're not the only ones interested in people with powers. We'd like to contain him, yeah. The next guy will want to exploit him, and the guy after that will want to dissect him." Phil explains, and as he does Bobbi notices Skye fight to react to that.
"What is Centipede, Skye?" Bobbi asks gently.
For a second Skye looks hesitant, not sure what to say, "Centipede…. It was chatter on the web and then gone. I traced the access-point MAC address to that building." Skye explains.
"What were you after?" Bobbi asks, knowing that Skye's answer to this question will tell her the last piece of information that she needs to know.
"The truth." Skye answers, "What are you after?" she counters.
"World peace." Bobbi answers, and as she does Skye gives a disbelieving snort.
"Sir, a word, outside." Bobbi requests, looking at Phil.
"Okay." Phil says, after a couple of seconds of looking at Bobbi and the two of them head out of the interrogation room, "You've got a read on her, don't you?" Phil asks, once they are in the hallway, with the door to the interrogation room is closed.
"Yeah." Bobbi says, with a nod, "If two of us keep questioning her she's just going to shut down, not tell us anything. She already doesn't trust us, both of us being in there isn't helping with that."
"I take it you have a plan." Phil says, assuming so.
"Turn of the camera, and let me talk to her alone." Bobbi requests, "If you give me a chance, I think I can get through to her."
"Okay." Phil says, handing over the file over, "You've got this."
"Thank you, Sir." Bobbi says, before heading back into the interrogation room. As she walks in she looks at the camera that is in the room, and once she sees the sign that it is turned off Bobbi walks over and sits across from Skye, in the seat Phil was sitting in earlier, "I think we got off on the wrong foot, my name is Bobbi Morse, the man who just left is Phil Coulson." Bobbi explains.
"Are we supposed to be best friends now?" Skye asks, with sarcasm.
"No." Bobbi answers, "You don't trust us, and that's okay." Bobbi says, "Maybe if you know a bit more about us that will change."
"I know plenty about S.H.I.E.L.D." Skye says.
"I'm not talking about S.H.I.E.L.D, I'm talking about us, the people on this plane, the people who are asking you for help." Bobbi reveals.
"I'm listening." Skye says, very much doubting that Bobbi will tell her anything that is the truth.
"I wasn't supposed to be on this team, it's not my usual kind of team." Bobbi admits, "But I'm here because a person I care about, a person you haven't met yet, but who cares about people more than you'd believe, asked me be on this team." Bobbi explains, "This is Coulson's first mission back after being in TAHITI for a while." Bobbi says, having carefully chosen her words, "And we've got two scientists at the lab who have never done field work before." Bobbi says, leaning forward, "Coulson's right, we just want to talk to you friend, and help him if he needs it." She explains, "Skye, I can tell that you're a good person, and you want to help this guy, well that's exactly what I, what we, want to do." Bobbi reveals, "But, we can't help him without you, so work with us, please." Bobbi requests.
"You won't hurt him?" Skye asks, wanting to believe Bobbi, but after everything she has been through her instincts tell her that she can't.
"You have my word." Bobbi says, "And even though you may not believe me you should know I always keep my word." She says, and for well over a minute Bobbi and Skye sit in silence.
"Okay." Skye finally says, "I'll tell you what I know."
"You're making the right choice." Bobbi says, with a smile, "Come with me." Bobbi says, standing up.
Feeling slightly confused Skye gets up and follows Bobbi out of the interrogation room and to the conference room, where Phil is.
"Skye's going to help us." Bobbi informs Phil as they walk into the room.
"I'm really glad to hear that." Phil says, "Especially considering this just popped up." Phil says, before showing a video of a man with super strength attacking his boss.
"That's not the guy I meet." Skye says, taking a step forward, "He was…. He just needs a break."
"Help us give him one." Phil requests, "What have you got?" he asks and Skye pulls a license out of her pocket.
"I picked his pocket." Skye says, as she hands the license over to Phil.
"Nice skill to have." Bobbi comments, looking a little amused, though that reveal gives her another piece to help solving the puzzle that is Skye.
"That's going to help us, a lot." Phil says as puts the license down on the holocom in front of them so that it can be scanned.
For a little while Bobbi, Skye, and Phil collect everything there is on the man and as Melinda, Fitz, and Simmons have returned to the plane the briefing is about to begin.
"Skye, this is Melinda May, Jemma Simmons, and Leo Fitz." Bobbi introduces, and while Melinda is slightly surprised that Bobbi is giving a potential enemy their names she trusts that her former student must have a reason and so she doesn't say anything, "Everyone this is Skye."
"Hi." Simmons greats as Fitz just gives an awkward wave.
"What have you found?" Melinda asks.
"Michael Peterson, factory worker, married, one kid." Phil says, "Gets injured, gets laid off. Wife jumps ship. Good guy, bad breaks. Best guess is, someone tells him they can make him strong again, make him super."
"Who has the tech to do that? And why would they want to?" Melinda asks.
"You know the answer to the second part." Bobbi comments.
"Unfortunately." Melinda mutters.
"Fitz, what do we have from the security footage before the blast?" Phil asks and Fitz starts to play it.
"What are we seeing?" Bobbi asks, confused as the footage isn't exactly clear.
"Well, the man is angry at the other man." Fitz says.
"The data is very corrupt." Simmons explains.
"Yeah, like cold war Russia corrupt." Fitz comments, "I can't sync the timecode without…" he starts to say.
"What if you had the audio?" Skye asks, causing everyone to look at her, "I was running surveillance on the lab. I had my shotgun mic pointed at the window before the blast. The digital file's in my van. There's too much background noise for me, but you could probably…" Skye starts to say.
"You can clean that up, can't you?" Simmons asks, "Find a sync point and use cross-field validation to find…."
"But I can't scrub for expression patterns when the vit-c is all…." Fitz says.
"Well, is there a chrominance subcarrier?" Simmons asks.
"Yeah, attached to the back porch." Fitz realises, "Brilliant, um that audio would be great."
"We will take that audio please." Simmons requests.
"Your van's here, but you were right. We couldn't decrypt the files." Phil admits.
"The encryption's coupled to the GPS. Get my van back to that alley, and then I'm in business." Skye explains.
"Agent May will escort you." Phil instructs.
"Okay." Skye says, and she and May head out.
"We need to get ready to receive the video as soon as possible so that we can assess it and figure out exactly what we are dealing with." Phil instructs, before leaving.
"Do you two need help setting things up?" Bobbi asks, looking between Fitz and Simmons.
"Another pair of hands couldn't hurt." Simmons says, telling the truth and so the two scientists and Bobbi head downstairs.
(line break)
Twenty minutes later Fitz, Bobbi, and Phil are in the cargo bay as Fitz makes the video of what caused the explosion play, while Simmons continues to work.
"Explosives in the case?" Bobbi asks.
To please calm down. Just let me check your vitals. I feel fine. I want to feel more. Where's the doctor? Where is she?! I-if you don't settle down, I-I'll have you sedated. Where is she?! The video says.
"Wait. Did you… did you see that on his arm?" Fitz asks, as he rewinds the video.
"What does that look like to you?" Phil asks, looking at Bobbi.
"A centipede." Bobbi realises, becoming even more worried.
"It's an intravenous filter for his blood." Simmons says, walking over from the lab, "This goo, sir, very similar to the serum Dr. Erskine developed in the 40s for the…."
"Super soldiers." Bobbi and Phil finish.
"I'm reading alien metal, gamma radiation, the serum, every known source of superpower thrown in a blender." Simmons explains, and as she does both Bobbi and Phil exchange looks, both of them feeling extremely worried.
"We need to see the origin of the blast. Run it back from the last point recorded." Phil requests, and Fitz-Simmons do exactly as he said.
"Extremis." Bobbi realises, as they watch the explosion.
"It's new." Phil reveals, to Fitz and Simmons, "Completely unstable." He explains.
"The poor man didn't bring an explosive, and Mike has the same stuff in his system." Simmons reveals.
"Considering his strength I'd say a lot more." Bobbi realises.
"So any minute now, Mike's gonna…." Fitz starts to say, trailing off.
"He's basically a human bomb, he'll take out anyone within a two-block radius." Bobbi realises.
"With me." Phil says, looking directly at Bobbi, "You two keep working." He instructs Fitz and Simmons.
"This is bad, Phil." Bobbi says, as they walk out of the lab.
"I know." Phil says, "We're going to need a plan, and a good one." He says.
"And if we don't have the time?" Bobbi asks her boss who she also considers a friend.
"We'll figure something out, we always do." Phil tells the younger agent.
"I'll go get the rifle ready, just in case." Bobbi says, before leaving Phil before he can say anything.
Even though a rifle isn't the weapon she is the most comfortable with Bobbi suspects that her Battle Staves won't be enough to stop someone who is about to explode and so she walks to the weapon storage, grabs out a rifle and take it up to the conference area so that she can put it together.
A few minutes later Phil is watching as Bobbi ensembles a rifle, hoping desperately that she doesn't have to use it when he hears,
"Sir." And Fitz and Simmons walking over to him, and so he walks over to them, it having been Simmons who spoke.
"He didn't explode because he was angry. The two are connected. It…it's kind of a chemical surge, but calming him down will buy him a minute the most. He will detonate within the next few hours." Simmons explains.
"Solution?" Phil asks, looking between the two genius's.
"Isolate him, get him away from people." Simmons suggests.
"Or?" Phil asks.
"Put a bullet through his brain." Fitz suggests, and as he does Phil looks over at Bobbi getting the rifle ready
"If he's dead, the irradiated metabolic process will stop." Simmons explains.
"We need to come up with a third option, one that doesn't involve Mike's son losing a father." Phil explains.
"We have a couple of hours at most." Simmons realises.
"There's no way we could possibly…." Fitz starts to say.
"Don't ever tell me that there's no way!" Phil yells sounding angry, "It's on you. Get it done." Instructs.
"Yes sir." Fitz and Simmons say, before running away.
As the two scientist walk away Phil starts to head back to the conference room so that he can run over a few ideas with Bobbi, but as he goes he hears a beeping that tells him that someone is trying to get through on coms.
"May?" Phil asks.
"He took Skye." Melinda explains.
"You all right?" Phil asks, trying to hide his concern.
"We'll deal with that later, at length." Melinda says, and honestly those two words tell him a lot., "Right now, we need to figure out where they went." Melinda says.
"That we do. I'll keep you updated." Phil says, before turning off the coms and heading into the conference room, "Bobbi, we got to get ready to move quickly." Phil instructs, as he walks in.
"Has something else happened?" Bobbi asks, being able to tell that there is something off in Phil's voice.
"Mike took Skye." Phil explains.
"Is Melinda okay?" Bobbi asks concerned.
"She said we'll deal with it later, at length." Phil explains.
"Which means she's pissed." Bobbi realises.
"It's nice to have someone else who speaks May around." Phil says, looking a little amused, "Your batons have been updated, right? Do they stun now?"
"Yeah."
"Get them, and meet me downstairs." Phil says, as Bobbi gets the rifle ready to transport.
"Would they even do anything to Mike?" Bobbi asks, looking at Phil, as she really doubts it.
"I don't know, but it's worth a try." Phil says, before heading downstairs.
A little while later Skye has hacked S.H.I.E.L.D's communication to give them her location causing Bobbi and Coulson to head to her location, Union Station, where they see Skye's van.
"Coulson, look around, there are a lot of people around, a lot of innocent lives at risk." Bobbi says, sounding concerned.
"Our jobs to protect everyone, Bobbi, you know that." Phil says, as he's handed a megaphone, "Fitz-Simmons will come through." He says, "Mr. Peterson, good morning. We're not a threat. We're here to help." Phil explains, "But you're in danger, and we need to take you in." Phil says, and as he does the door to Skye's van is sent flying, in a way that almost hits Bobbi and Phil, but they both manage to dodge.
once they are on their feet Bobbi hurries inside and sees Skye manage to get away from Mike, Mike get into a fight with civilians, who get a little banged up but as far as Bobbi can tell none of them get seriously hurt.
Finally, as she gets a little close Bobbi sees an opening and so she runs towards Mike, pulling her batons. Once she is close enough Bobbi puts one against Mike's throat and uses the other to attempt to stun, him, but just like she was expecting it does nothing.
"Look Mike, this stuff inside you is unstable. It'll kill you and everyone in here." Bobbi says, trusting Skye in her assumption that Mike is a good man and thus she hopes that that gets through to him.
"Who's gonna miss us?" Mike asks as he pushes Bobbi back and into a glass signing board, and then over his shoulder and onto the ground.
Once Bobbi is on the ground Mike jumps, a pretty impressive distance, to where Skye is, and as he leaves he is fired upon.
"We're at the north entrance, May." Phil says, as he helps Bobbi back onto her feet.
"You told them to hold their fire." Bobbi says, looking at Coulson.
"I don't think that's us." Phil admits, "We may have a third party here." Phil says to Melinda, "He's gonna head down to the tracks. You stay high, I'll go low." He says, and Bobbi nods and starts to walk away, "Only take the shot if you have to, Bobbi." Phil orders and Bobbi just keeps walking, "Bobbi!" he calls.
"If I have to." Bobbi says, before walking away.
A little while later Bobbi has the rifle and is in position where she watches Phil walk up and drop his gun on the ground.
"What the hell are you doing, Phil?" Bobbi mutters, watching carefully, preparing to intervene if she gets the order if it becomes clear that it is necessary.
"Think that means anything?" Mike asks, "I know you got men everywhere waiting to put me down. I know how this plays out." Mike says.
"I don't." Phil says, "I know you got poison in your system. I know it's burning you up." Phil says, "Mike, the last guy who wore that exploded." Phil says.
"I'm not like that other guy. I'm… it matters who I am… inside, if I'm a good person, if I'm strong." Mike says.
"I have a clear shot." Bobbi says, thought the coms, "Do you copy?" Bobbi says, and because she knows Phil she isn't overly surprised that he doesn't respond.
"I know you're strong. Your boy knows it." Phil says, "He needs you to let us help."
"You took him!" Mike says angrily as his voice breaks, "You took my wife, my job, my house. You think this is killing me? All over, there's people being pushed down, being robbed." Mike says, as Bobbi sees Melinda and Skye get to the floor, and as Skye tries to run forward Melinda pulls her back, "One of them tries to stand up." Mike says, picking up a puller that was destroyed, "You got to make an example out of him."
"You bring this building down on us, will that help them?" Phil asks.
"That's a lie! All you do is lie!" Mike says, as he uses the pillar to destroy a ticking booth, "You said if we worked hard, if we did right, we'd have a place, you said it was enough to be a man, but there's better than man, there's god, and the rest of us, what are we? They're giants, we're what they step on." Mike says.
"BOBBI." A voice calls and Bobbi turns to see Fitz running towards her with what looks like a rifle, but has clearly been modified.
"What have you got for me?" Bobbi asks, looking at Fitz.
"This should help. It's a Dendrotoxin round." Fitz explains, remembering that Bobbi said she had a biology degree and so she should understand what it will do.
"And you think it will work?" Bobbi asks, as she takes the gun from the engineer.
"It's our best shot." Fitz informs Bobbi.
"That's good enough for me." Bobbi says, as she takes the gun, lies up the shot and once more hears what Phil and Mike are saying.
"I could, you know?" Mike asks, "Be a hero."
"I'm counting on it." Phil says, and realising that Phil has managed to calm down Mike Bobbi takes the shot, hitting Mike in the forehead.
For about a minute Bobbi watches in tense silence, waiting, hoping, and then to her relief she sees Jemma smile and nod, telling her that everything worked out so she lets go of the breath she didn't realise she was holding.
For the next twenty-four hours the entire team deals with the fallout and clean up at Union Station, and as that has been done Phil, with Skye who he offered a job, are taking Mike's son to his aunts. Having just finished putting the rifle, which she cleaned, back, Bobbi heads up to her bunk where she plans to put her staves, but when she walks in her bunk she sees a shopping bag.
Walking over Bobbi opens it and when she sees what is inside she can't help but smile, and she knows exactly who got it for her, and so once she puts her staves away she starts to head to the cockpit, but before she gets there she hears,
"Bobbi."
And she turns to see Simmons.
"Yeah?" Bobbi asks.
"Fitz and I ordered food and beer, Fitz has gone to collect it, do you want to join us?" Simmons asks curious.
"Sure, I'd like that. I just have to talk to May first." Bobbi explains, and Simmons nods.
After leaving Simmons Bobbi headed straight to the cockpit where she finds Melinda clearly running diagnostics on the plane.
"Thanks for the Cactus Cooler." Bobbi says to Melinda, from the doorway.
"I thought your stash would be running low, so I took care of it for you." Melinda explains, and Bobbi smiles at that.
"So, Fitz and Simmons have food and beer, do you want to come join us?" Bobbi ask curious, though she suspects the answer.
"No, I have things to do." Melinda says, saying exactly what Bobbi was suspecting.
"Okay. We'll be on this floor if you change your mind." Bobbi says, and after pausing for about twenty seconds Bobbi heads back out into the main area of the plane.
It has been a while since Bobbi left Melinda in the cockpit and honestly she has quite enjoyed spending time with Fitz and Simmons.
"So did you get your biology degree before joining S.H.I.E.L.D?" Simmons asks curious.
"After actually." Bobbi admits, "I was already working as a Specialist when I started to take classes, it took a while, because I was still working on missions, but I eventually graduated." Bobbi explains, having felt rather proud of herself when she pulled that off.
"What's your speciality?" Fitz asks curious, but before Bobbi can answer they hear,
"Bobbi." And the three of them turn to see Melinda.
"May, would you like to join us?" Simmons asks.
"No thank you." Melinda answer, "Bobbi." She requests, and Bobbi gets up and walks over to her friend, "You need to call Coulson."
"Why? What's going on?" Bobbi asks curious.
"There's a suspected 0-8-4 in Peru. We're being sent in to investigate, confirm or deny, and deal with." Melinda explains.
"An 0-8-4, seriously?" Bobbi asks surprised.
"Seriously. Make the call." Melinda says, and once she does she heads back to the cockpit and Bobbi heads back over to Fitz and Simmons to make the call about the team's next mission, suspecting that it might be just as intense, and complicated, as the last, if not more so.
