SHIELD Animal Spirits c11
Angel entered the room, no one paid her any attention which was what she wanted she stood at the back until the last of the stragglers came in that was when the doors were closed. She was waiting by the door and when they finally were shut she placed the small device on it sealing them shut. Gideon Malik was up front he was addressing the crowd, Daniel Whitehall was in the front row with Secretary Pierce, Garret and Romulow were on either side of Pierce. She looked around the room crossing names off the list the only one that was missing was Ian Quin oh well she will track him down later. By this point Gideon was still talking about something she didn't understand, she looked at her watch it was time. Moving to the front of the room it fell into a hushed silence.
"Who are you?" Gideon asked
"Me? I am the answer to your problem." Angel replied and the room rifled into laughter.
"What problem is that?"
"You tell me."
"We don't have any problems…who brought her?" He asked looking around the room but no one replied
"No one brought me…like I said I have the answer to your problem…what you all have been working towards."
"And what is that?"
"The secrets of the Animal Spirits." She replied and the room once again fell into silence.
"She is the one that has stolen the artefacts." Someone called out from the back, as that was said several guns were now aimed at her.
"I know the answers that you have been working towards for years and your first thought is to shoot me…no wonder you haven't accomplished anything." Angel tuttered moving so she was sitting on the desk at the front of the room. "I have something that may be of interest to you."
"What is that?" Pierce asked and Angel pulled out a silver orb.
"This…this is what you need."
"Why tell us? What makes you think we won't kill you and take it?" Romulow asked
"Because only one of you can use it. There is 35 people in this room and only one of you gets the prize." She stated chucking it from one hand to the other…"Sure you can kill me then none of you can have it, you see seeming I formed it from the artefacts only I can give it to someone…you see my problem…too many people. How do I know you are serious about your desires?" she asked as she asked it, there was a gleam in her eyes that screamed predator. That was when the shooting began, Angel easily made it to safety as she wasn't the one that was being shot at slowly they were all killing each other. She looked up when the shooting stopped but the sound of a gun cocking made her freeze as she looked up at John Garret and he was grinning.
"Clever, very clever…getting us to kill each other smart move. What are you going to do now?" he asked making her stand and when she did she saw there was only six of them remaining.
"You know I had my suspicions that you were going to make it, after-all all of you have killed countless others as you let others do your dirty work.
"Who sent you?" Pierce asked
"IS that really what we want?" Malik asked
"That depends you tell me what it is you want?"
"Will that connect us to the Spirit Animals realm?"
"Why would you want to be connected to that?"
"We are not idiots, we are not going to reveal our plan to you."
"I already know your plan, so why will I want you to reveal it?"
"You're an assassin, who sent you? And I will kill you quick." Romulow stated his gun aimed at her head.
"I am not the assassin you need to worry about. One of you brought one today and well he is really pissed at you…You know the whole brainwashing thing…if only someone knew how to undo it, oh wait I do." Angel stated and there was a confident smirk in her tone especially when Pierce's eyes widened he looked around the room he dropped to the floor moving away from the windows.
"That would be a wise choice if he had his rifle." She pointed out, she turned to Daniel Whitehall. "You created the techniques correct?" she asked him he had also moved out of the line of view from the window. "I was told not to kill anyone, but you I will make an exception." She stated just before killing the man who created the brainwashing techniques she pulled the pen out of his throat and chucked it to the floor.
"He isn't out there." Pierce said turning to see Whitehall fall as the back door opened and the Winter Solider came in killing Malik, Garret, Romulow, and Hale before grabbing Pierce's throat and breaking his neck when Pierce tried gasping out his activation sequence. Looking down at the dead Whitehall before settling his gaze on the girl across from him.
"Thank you." He stated
"Bucky?" Steve asked as he and Natasha entered the room with the others a step behind. Only to stop making everyone else stop and look at the former dead Howling Commando hero.
"Hey Steve." He said looking down not being able to meet Steve's eyes.
"Bucky?" Steve asked again before going over and hugging his best friend not believing his eyes. "How?"
"Him." Angel said pointing to Whitehall before moving over to Maria.
"I am handing myself over for disciplinary action. I failed your objective." She stated handing over her weapons consisting of a gun and a knife. Waiting for further orders.
"They're all dead." Clint stated
"They killed each other for that silver orb. What is it?" Coulson asked, but Angel was only looking at Maria.
"You have so much to explain." Maria stated, Angel looked over at Skye seeing the files that she was holding.
"You found it?"
"You were right, buried deep within SHIELD Archive but everything was there." She said handing Angel the files she turned them over to Maria.
"Your proof." Maria looked from her to the files in her hand flipping through them before handing them to Nick.
"I will get on this, you better get her and him out of here." Nick stated after flipping through several of the pages. Maria agreed taking Angel, Natasha, Steve and Bucky away. The building became a crime scene, Nick made it clear that they killed each other with the documents showing that they weren't good guys.
