"What's the problem?"
"It's gotten worse"
"What?" Nick Fury spat out, "I thought you said you fixed the system. How is that possible? You were rumored to be one of the best"
"This pattern is very complex. I don't know how to read them" the woman told the commander, "It's almost like as if they have scrambled around on their own, but are still functioning correctly. I don't really know how to explain it. It's like nothing I have ever seen before"
"So then what could it mean?"
"A mutant" Maria spoke up, "Wasn't there a mutant who could control technology? Maybe this is him? There's no other explanation"
"That person is locked up in prison"
"His files were one of them that were missing" Maria gawked, "You've got to see that there's a connection in-between here"
"All mutants' files were erased"
"So what? Are you going to blame this on my sister again?" Maria suddenly snapped, "She's only here to teach Captain America, she wouldn't do this. I know her"
"If you knew her so much then why didn't you know she was an assassin?"
"The same reason I didn't tell her I was a SHIELD agent. To protect the ones I love. You don't think for a second what the Mutant Mob could've done to me and my eldest sister if they found out about us?" Maria questioned, "Especially if they found out I was an agent. They'd probably kill her and me off. You don't understand how vicious these creatures are!"
"I am fully aware of how evil they can be"
"But not all of them are. Think about Professor X" Maria told him, "He's opened up a school for young mutants. He's teaching them how to control their powers. You can't see any harm in that"
Maria stopped talking as she realized that she was not directing orders like she should be. Fury was staring at her as if like it was the first time. Maria cast her eyes down to the ground and placed her hands behind her back. She finally let out the breath that she felt like she had been holding in all morning.
A blaring alarm came throughout the room, making Maria nearly jump from being startled. Fury looked over to the monitor and couldn't help but glare at the screen. Maria stiffened as she noticed that the vault was on high alert. They're weapons have been invaded and she could only guess which one would be missing.
Maria closed her eyes, "Damn it"
She turned around and walked out of the main headquarters and followed the rushing people over to the vault. Maria noticed that the barcode was completely destroyed as she walked into the vault. She stopped and noticed that it looked like it had been through a tornado of some sorts. Maria stopped and stiffened as she realized that the weapon to be used against mutants and extraterrestrials alike was missing from its case.
