Sy
She sat in the swivel chair, gently swinging herself from side to side as she tuned her violin. Just because she was going to help fight a god, doesn't mean she should stop practicing. Especially with that concert in Germany coming up. She hardly glanced up as she heard the heavy engines change their rumble as they lifted into the air. The doors behind her swung open, admitting what sounded like three people, but in such a busy room she couldn't really tell.
She was a little out of practice if she was honest. Since the war, she didn't have much reason to train her sensitive ears. And if she was honest, listening to her surroundings less helped to keep her anxiety down. Fake it till you make it right?
Steve Rogers crossed the room in front of her, a look of amazement on his face. She saw a rather nervous looking man retreat away from the busy agents. Bruce Banner, she identified, remembering the debriefing packet. Also known as the Hulk.
Maria Hill reported that they were level from her station. Fury looked at her and said,
"Good let's vanish." He turned around to look at the newcomers. Sy smirked at Steve as he approached the SHIELD director. The super soldier just shook his head slightly, the look of amazement firmly on his face.
"Gentleman." Steve handed the director some cash. Fury and her exchanged a glance. Well, she did try to warn the man. She quietly tuned her violin as Steve continued to explore the bridge. She began to pluck out a soft scale as Fury approached Banner.
"Doctor thank you for coming." She swiveled in her seat the watch the interaction. Banner hesitated before shaking the director's hand.
"Thanks for asking nicely." Sy rolled her eyes at that statement before placing the instrument under her chin. She tuned out their conversation as she gently dragged the bow across the strings. Her fingers fluttered across the neck of her instrument as she strung random notes together, not paying much attention to what she played.
"We're sweeping every wirelessly available camera we can find. Cell phones, laptops. If it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us." Coulson's voice rang out strongly over her quiet playing.
"That's rude. Stay out of my tech." Sy muttered, not that she had any. Even children of minor gods avoided technology. It was always a bad idea. Too many monsters. Even being on the massive helicarrier was a major risk for her. Sy refocused on her music, the sweet notes soothing her nerves. She really didn't want to be attacked by a monster.
Her fingers flew, keeping pace with the song. She looked at Natasha crouching next to a monitor, one with Agent Barton's face on it. She felt a flash of pity, remembering when she had to fight against people who she thought were friends. At least with Clint, it's because of magic, not because of a decision they made for themselves. Her music changed, the inflection and tone adjusting to her mood. She quickly put the violin down. No sense in accidentally influencing everyone else's emotions.
"That still won't find them in time." The assassin said. Sy plucked nervously at the strings of the instrument in her lap.
"We need to narrow the field. How many spectrometers do you have access too?" Banner asked as he removed his coat. It seemed when he was asked for his expertise the timidity she had noticed earlier melted away. Fury gave him a look.
"How many are there?" He asked, crossing his arms. The doctor folded his coat over his arm.
"Call every lab you know, have them tell them to put their spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them to gamma rays. I'll rough out a tracking algorithm, basic cluster recognition. At least we can rule out a few places. You got somewhere for me to work?" Fury gestured to Natasha and Sy. She rolled her eyes even as she got to her feet. Sitting in the bridge playing music would be no different than sitting in a lab and playing music.
"Agent Romanoff, Miss. Melos. Show Dr. Banner to his laboratory please." The redhead lead them all away. Sy rolled her eyes as she followed Natasha. She'd never been on the helicarrier before, she didn't know where she was going.
"You're gonna love it doc. We've got all the toys." Natasha said. Sy rolled her eyes again. At this rate, she should just make a video of her doing than and just play it on a loop.
"Hi, I'm Sy. Nice to meet you." She said as she cradled her instrument. The doctor looked a little surprised.
"Bruce. Aren't you a little young to be here?" She smirked.
"I'm here as a special favor to the director. I'm an... expert you could say, in Asgard and other mythos, which happens to include our friend in green, Loki." The scientist nodded before they dropped into an uncomfortable silence.
