Project W017 c28
AN: Hey guys, here is the next chapter, I hope you enjoy. I do not own any Marvel characters. Tell me what you think. Until next time.
AJ was still typing away on her screen when something clicked, she stopped typing away and looked around the room thinking.
"Do we have teams down on the ground now?"
"Yes."
"Are we taking supplies?"
"Yes. What are you thinking?"
"How many QJ have been sent?"
"Some are carrying more agents, while others are carrying medical supplies."
"Where are they stocking up from?"
"The Hub."
"And Here? We are closer than the Hub."
"Yes we have had a couple QJ leave here."
"Have any come back?"
"Two did, one was empty the other had supplies from the Hub, restocking ammunition."
"So that one came from the Hub but the other empty one did it come from New York?"
"Yes what are you getting at?"
"It wasn't empty." AJ stated getting up and running out of the bridge when pain stopped her from going further." She stopped and leant against the wall as her head felt like it was being torn apart.
'Maria please make it stop.'
'I told you not to leave the bridge. That is why you are hurting.'
'I need to get to the Garage, the QJ that just arrived was not empty.' AJ stated over the link as she closed her eyes taking a deep breath trying to block out the pain.
'Come back here. I will send a team to investigate.'
'We don't have time.' AJ argued back but felt the pain intensify, her wolf was begging her to listen to the Alpha. She choked back a scream opened her eyes that portrayed her anger as she walked back inside she glared at Maria, held for all of two seconds before she was looking at the floor. She saw Natasha leave with a couple other agents she noticed were from at least one of the packs knowing they were heading to the Garage. 'Mack.' AJ thought of as that was where he was stationed.
'He's clearing out the worked now.'
'Maria why am I still here. I am more helpful out there.' AJ looked at Maria who was watching her closely, she felt AJ's wolf about to shift out in the corridor only share will stopped it from happening.
'You almost shifted. You are to stay in here where is can keep an eye on you.' Maria informed her. Causing AJ to roll her eyes as she moved over to one of the chairs and slumped down. She knew Maria was right but still she didn't like Natasha going in alone, especially if something is in the QJ from Psi.
'I can look after myself besides I'm not alone.'
'Don't focus on me. Focus on you.' AJ stated
'Relax pup, I know what I am doing.'
'It is contradicting calling your mate pup.' AJ replied 'Stay safe.' She added, Sharon sat down in the seat next to her, her hand brushing over hers as they shared a same armrest. AJ looked at Sharon and saw the concern in her eyes. She gave her a small smile before looking back out at the crowd of agents still working.
'What is he playing at?' Natasha asked
'Why?' Maria asked
'The QJ is empty.' Natasha stated
'Have a close look, even the smallest thing out of place could be something.' AJ stated.
'I'm telling you this QJ came back empty, the agents on it returned and that was it.' Izzy stated
'Agents on it?' AJ asked
'Yeah the piolet and another one came out according to Dave.' Nat stated
'Is there any smells on it?' AJ asked
'Smells?' Izzy questioned
'Yes, the thing you do with your nose. Do you smell anything?' AJ retorted
'Humans, Guns the usual smells metal, petrol.' Mac answered
'Humans?' AJ asked
'It did just transport a team onto the ground.'
'Something doesn't add up.' AJ said cutting the link and looking out window. 'Since we know it is safe can I take a walk I need to clear my head and reset?'
'Fine, Sharon will go with you.'
Together they walked through the halls as agents went to and from the bridge giving updates or swapping shifts AJ didn't know or really care at the moment as she tried to figure out what his next move will be. She thought she had it, that he would do a direct confrontation. Then again how will he know she was here? 'Someone told him.' She thought to herself, she couldn't shake the feeling that he was here. That she was right but the records shows no one came off the jet.
They made a right turn, Sharon staying quiet letting her think through her thoughts. She knew she was there if she needed her, and also that Sharon was on constant alert. She nearly bumped into someone when Sharon pulled her aside as the agent seemed to be in a hurry heading somewhere.
She did a double take when she recognised a scent.
'DO you smell that?' AJ asked over the link
'What?' Sharon asked confused as she scans the area around them.
'I don't know it smells familiar, like I know it but I can't place it.' AJ stated frustrated at not being able to remember where she knows the scent from.
'I don't smell anything out of place.' Sharon replied, AJ felt Maria in her head and felt her go tense.
'What is it?' AJ asked when something else caught her attention, she was on alert already so seeing a door opened that is usually closed and sealed for higher level agents use only had her suspicious. Before another word could be said she opened the door. It lead to another form of storage room, used for level 6 and above. The room was filled with crates, she noted other people in the room who all turned to look at her.
"Ahh Alexa how nice of you to join us." a male's voice bounced across the room.
"Psi." AJ murmured looking over to the menacing figure that haunted her as a child. Now dressed in a SHIELD uniform looking smug as ever made her angry.
