Melinda felt betrayed, she thought she knew Bobbi, not as a friend but at least as someone she could rely on who had her back. All Bobbi had done was use that time to find the perfect place to bury her knife. To say she was stunned would be an understatement, Melinda was beyond stunned. There'd been a separate splinter cell of SHIELD growing inside SHIELD, it was HYDRA all over again.
It had all happened slowly, first Mack had left with Hunter, she'd assumed on a mission. When Mack returned without Hunter she'd got suspicious only for Bobbi to then vanish. A day later she returned with a full platoon of 'real' SHIELD agents, catching the playground by surprise and quickly overwhelming the agents. She'd not been her best if she hadn't been as worried about Leo and Skye she'd probably have noticed the attack coming. Luckily she'd had enough time to get Coulson out of the base and safe, she hoped. She felt very guilty about not telling Leo, the truth about SHIELD when she'd last talked to him. But he had his own problems to be worried about.
Now May herself was under scrutiny by the 'real' SHIELD leader, a Robert Gonzales. Somehow he'd found out about her connection to Leo and the mutants.
"Good evening, Agent May or would you prefer Ambassador. I need to know everything you know about protocol 8-9-8," was the first thing he said to her.
"You have no authority to be asking that."
"You don't know what you've done, do you? Your protection of the mutants has lead to the attack on the President."
"I have recently been told about the true perpetrators of that attack."
"Ah yes, your more than familiar relationship with Agent Fitz."
"How.."
"Agent Morse bugged your phone, this is how we've been able to glean so much about the mutants inner workings. Leopold Fitz should expect to be expelled from SHIELD should he choose to show his face, helping a fugitive of SHIELD escape custody."
"If you choose to punish Fitz for doing what was right and not what was easy you'll come to regret it. Trust me you do not want me to be your enemy I have contacts and favours owed to me that span the world in every intelligence agency across the globe."
"This is not about you or even directly about Agent Fitz. No, this is about the pressing problem of mutants and the threat they pose to the safety of America."
"You don't mean..."
"I do, we can't allow them to go unchecked they pose a very real threat to our safety we need to know what they can do."
"Do you hear yourself, you sound like HYDRA, talking about cataloging mutants so you can use them for your own aim. What happens when they fight back."
"We shall meet them with the appropriate force."
"Your fighting scared children and you expect to win. You may not fear the threat of me but fear the teachers at that school, if you harm a hair on the head of any of the children there will be nowhere you can run from them."
"That is why we need to understand their powers incase one of them decides to attack the president again or something worse."
"You do what you have to and I'll do what I have to," with that she turned and stormed from the room or at least she tried to.
"I'm afraid I can't have you notifying them you'll have to stay here." With that he unveiled an ICER and shot her before she could open the door.
