Skye's Point of View
As we returned to the BUS after our super fun day/night out our next mission was waiting for us. Coulson said we could read about it and then get to work in the morning, as we were all tired from our early rise and late night. So we headed for the table as usual and waited for Coulson to give us the information. As he walked into the room he looked serious.
He set up the screen and started to talk. On the screen we could see a middle aged man with short grey hair, he was more bald than anything.
"This is Edison Po he escaped from prison earlier today. From what we know super soldiers broke him out. Before leaving through the same hole they blasted in the wall. Po was in a high security prison and has since been linked to Centipede." Coulson explained.
"Is he a major threat?" I asked.
"Yes Skye he seems to be. To win this one I think we need to bring in Mike." Coulson told me.
The others gasped in response.
Mike was the reason I was brought into S.H.I.E.L.D. He was used by centipede to test their super solider serum and now had pretty cool skills.
"Mike? You want to bring Mike onto the BUS?" May asked with a hint of sarcasm.
"Coulson the last time we crossed him he tried to blow up a bus station, strangle Skye and shoot everyone else!" She continued.
"I know that May but I believe he has changed. Mike was scared then and didn't know what would happen to him. To beat centipede we need to fight fire with fire therefore we need Mike on our side." Coulson reasoned.
The rest of us stayed out of their little discussion. We didn't want to take sides with someone who could kill us with one hand and the other who could fire us in the blink of an eye.
"Fine but don't say I didn't warn you when things don't go to plan." May added to end their disagreement.
"I won't need too. If things don't go to plan I'm pretty sure you will say I told you so!" Coulson smirked.
May glared at him, but a smirk was playing on her lips.
"We can pick Mike up in the morning he is at a S.H.I.E.L.D training base. However I think right now we all need to get some sleep and hopefully not have nightmares about acapella singing!" Coulson joked signalling the end of the briefing.
"Yeah I hope you don't have those AC you're a horrible singer!" I joked.
He laughed in response and bid us all goodnight.
The group slowly filtered away until it was just May and myself left in the room.
"Today was a good day." She commented.
"Yeah it was a lot of fun. We should do it more often seeing as how we are always in really cool countries. We could have a tourist day!" I grinned.
"If we did that in every country we went to we would never work!" May laughed.
I nodded in agreement before a huge yawn escaped my mouth.
"Well I'm beat I'm going to head to bed. See you in the morning May. Ohh and if you feel up to it… Fancy making your daughter breakfast again?" I suggested hopefully.
"Goodnight Skye!" May winked in response.
The next morning I awoke to find a large pile of pancakes and some toast sitting on my chair.
There was a note on it that read, 'don't tell the others. I'm not cooking for them every morning. You are an exception so when you come out say you're not hungry or eat something small! Love May x'
I couldn't help but laugh as I reached over to get my breakfast. It was as delicious as ever and by the time I was done I was stuffed. So I decided to go with the, I'm not hungry excuse as I went for a coffee.
Ward looked shocked when I said I didn't want anything, as did Coulson. I was offended that they all had the impression that I was a bottomless pit.
"Where are we going exactly?" I asked changing the topic from that of my eating habits.
"That's classified it's a top secret S.H.I.E.L.D training base." Coulson told me.
I rolled my eyes why did he even bother saying top secret when we were flying right to it!
Shortly after May gave the 'belts on' notice and we prepared for landing.
It was as smooth as ever and before long we were standing in the base.
"We won't be here long so Skye and Fitzsimmons just stay on the BUS ok?" Coulson instructed.
As I was about to object May came down the stairs.
"Don't bother with arguing it won't work. So can you just try and follow the rules and stay here?" She asked me.
"Morning to you too, and I don't always break the rules May." I replied.
"All the time you have been here, you have broken practically ever rule set. Why would this be any different?" May whispered as she passed me.
I looked at her, thought for a moment and realized she was right.
"Well you might be right on this occasion but don't point it out. Ohh and thanks for you know what!" I whispered back.
"I am always right Skye and you're welcome!" She smiled.
After that she left with the Ward and Coulson.
They were back within the hour and May pretended to faint when she saw me sitting in the lab.
"Haha very funny!" I said rolling my eyes.
"I'm sorry I just can't believe you listened to me!" She joked.
I smiled sarcastically at her as I went to greet Mike.
"Hey Mike it's been a while how have you been? How's Ace?" I asked.
"I'm good I have been training with S.H.I.E.L.D so I'm learning how to control my powers as for Ace he's doing really well!" Mike told me.
"That's really good to hear Mike you're looking a lot better too!" I smiled.
Mike smiled embarrassed and muttered "Thanks Skye…"
After the greeting we went to show Mike who we thought was the best lead. As it turned out the solider who was our lead had a sister at university nearby. Coulson and Ward decided they would go and talk to her.
Before leaving Coulson ordered Fitzsimons to check Mike over to make sure he was stable and healthy. He then requested that May and myself look at the prison security cameras to see if we could identify anything or anyone who was familiar looking. In particular he wanted us to look at anyone who had contact with Po before he broke out of prison. We agreed and went to work. It was nice that he asked us to work together it was the first time he had done so. However I didn't count on May being as controlling.
As I set up the security footage including anyone who visited Po, May started to complain.
"Skye you are going too fast we might miss something!" She whined.
"May all we can see is an empty room I'm pretty sure if someone comes in we will see them as I fast forward!" I snapped.
I continued at the speed I was going at until she pulled the controls off me.
"You're going too fast!" She complained again.
I glared at her before looking back at the screen. About an hour into the video visitors stared to appear in the prison. Po himself had one. It was a girl with curly hair who was wearing a flower dress. As I brought up on the screen what they were saying Mike appeared.
"Hey I know her. Her name is Raina she was the one who put the drug in me. She works for centipede. " Mike informed us.
An hour or so later Coulson and Ward returned with a location from the soldiers sister. It was a Californian warehouse. May set course and we were off.
May's Point of View
As we reached the warehouse I had to make sure Skye didn't decide to tag along. I gave her strict instructions to remain in the car. That was after she refused to stay on the BUS.
Last thing I wanted was to have to watch her when we didn't know what we were walking into. We drove to within a few metres of the warehouse before getting out. As we walked inside it appeared empty that was until super solider burst out of the crates and charged at us!...
Ok so thats it hope you enjoyed :-) Until next time ;-)
