Hello everyone,

Here is Chapter 37, enjoy.

April 13th, 2015

The Playground

The tears had been spent and now Three sat still on the bed feeling a cold numbness take over her. It didn't matter that Coulson sat beside her and had draped a blanket around her shoulders, nor that Simmons had come in and put a hot drink in her hands. She was still too shocked and deep in her own thoughts to register what was happening around her. At some point Coulson had ordered Lincoln to be brought back, but why? Jemma was a good doctor, why bring in another unwilling doctor. Three had not moved when Lincoln came into the room and Coulson rose from the bed to greet him.

"Mr Campbell, thank you for returning."

"Yeah thanks for asking 'politely'." Lincoln grumbled, obviously the man was not happy to be dragged back. His desire to not show off his powers and start life anew had kept him from acting out against the SHIELD agents sent to retrieve him including Mack. Something told Three that one way or another Lincoln would have been dragged back.

"Mr Campbell, may I call you Lincoln?" Coulson asked ignoring the young man's attitude, but the man did not answer. Eventually Coulson continued guessing it was okay to call him by his given name. "You may recall Kat helped us back on the Iliad, and that she was changed."

"She has also already adjusted so there is no need for me." Lincoln pointed out.

"There is, she is five weeks pregnant. I need to know if that mist will affect her unborn baby in any way." Coulson said, as Lincoln now looked at Kat. Coulson's statement was what brought her fully back as a new set of worries entered her thoughts. She now looked up at Lincoln with red rimmed eyes.

Lincoln sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. "There was one case before... an accident. One of the hopefuls at Afterlife named Heather. She was in no hurry to go through the mist, was afraid of the change. Jiaying offered to let her, but understood her hesitation. When she became pregnant it was decided that she would wait to make the change. However fate choose differently she discovered her close friend Eva was going to steal a Terrigen crystal for her own daughter Katya."

"The Bahrain mission." Coulson said.

"Heather tried to stop her, urged her to wait saying that when Katya would come into adulthood Jiaying might grant her the honour, then it could be Katya's decision." Lincoln said, then sighed, "But Eva did not want to wait, the two argued and Heather raised the alarm. She tried to grab the crystal from Eva, and it broke. She was seven weeks pregnant at the time when she went through the transformation. There was fear that the mist would change both, but it was unfounded. We learned fairly early on that only the mother was changed not the unborn baby."

"So then the baby will not be Inhuman?" Simmons asked and Lincoln nodded

"The baby will be perfectly normal, but it will most likely have the potential to go through the mist later on." Lincoln said trying to warn them of a potential danger. However Three was more focused on the word 'normal' which did not really fit with any of this. At least the baby would not be affected by the mist, that was the one good thing out of this situation. As Three looked down still lost in the terrible fears and worries of what all this would mean.

"It is going to be okay, Kat." Simmons said as she placed a gentle hand on Three's back. Perhaps it was how she looked or the atmosphere in the room, but Lincoln misread Kat's upset appearance.

"Look there are methods of ending the pregnancy if you-"

"What?!" Three asked horrified as she looked up at Lincoln shocked.

"Well you look like you don't want this," Lincoln started, and Three was not about to let him finish his mistaken interpretation of what she was thinking or feeling.

"I am scared, that doesn't mean I want to get rid of it!" Three practically screamed at Lincoln, "and before you make any more stupid assumptions... I am scared I won't find the baby's father! I am scared that HYDRA has him, and the next time I see him he might try to kill me because they brainwashed him! I am terrified that if HYDRA finds out they will hunt my baby and I down!" The entire time she was yelling at Lincoln she barely noticed him wincing in pain. She did not even know she was doing it, sending her angry thoughts to Lincoln as well as voicing her fears. It was not until at the end that he clutched his head, and fell to one knee in pain.

"Stop!" He cried out. Immediately Three was confused as to what had happened, then looked to Simmons and Coulson. What exactly was she suppose to stop? It was then Lincoln released his head and stood shakily. "You need to be more careful...your thoughts when directed at someone like that can be extremely painful."

"You are saying Kat can hurt people with her thoughts?" Simmons asked perplexed.

"Yeah felt like a vice was going tighter around my head." Lincoln replied, then looked at Three. "I am sorry, it is just you looked really upset over this situation and didn't want this." Now suddenly Three felt terrible for the unintended mental attack. However now everyone knew it was not so much being pregnant that upset her, but the dangers it posed.

'So I can hear thoughts and send them, but if I send them too pointedly it can be harmful to the recipient.' Three thought biting her bottom lip, she was still learning more about her abilities. However that hardly mattered, what did matter was she was pregnant and needed to find Bucky not sit around worrying over what her new found abilities would be like.

"Can I speak to Coulson alone for a minute?" Three finally asked after she took a calming breath, and the others hesitantly vacated the room. When the door shut Three sighed as she looked at Coulson. "It looks like consultant is all I will be for a while..."

"Yeah, when I asked you to be that I had not expected this." Coulson admitted. Again there was a long silence to follow as Three considered everything that was happening to her. Before she had been in danger, but that was on her own fighting HYDRA solo. Now she met Bucky, befriended Coulson's team, and was pregnant. Talk about jumping in the deep end before learning to swim, Three felt like she was drowning. She had come to Coulson for help in finding Bucky and got pulled into one messed up situation after another. Of course she was not blaming Coulson or the others, but at this rate none of them would have the chance to breath much less look for the Winter Soldier. Like with all her friendships and relationships it was time to go before some other disaster occurred and she was pulled into the middle of it. "As soon as I am cleared, it will be time for me to go. I was being selfish to ask for help when you have enough crap to deal with here."

"I promised to help you, and I will that has not changed Kat."

"I know you would but look around you. You lost a hand, you have Inhumans to deal with, this 'real' SHIELD crap, and..." Three trailed off knowing it was only a matter of time before some other problem cropped up. "It feels like you are finding problem after problem, and I am one more problem you do not need."

"You are not an additional problem. You've helped us through the past couple disasters, and I am not going back on my word." Coulson said adamant about looking for Bucky. Three sighed as she looked down at the tiles on the floor, and Coulson must have realized that there was no changing her mind. "No matter what SHIELD teams are being sent to Russia to pick up the trail. Fitz and Skye are determined to run searches. So no matter what you decide we are going to look. Which begs the question what will you do?"

"Keep looking for him," Three replied, "I would not be much good to you in the field anyway. Besides I can pursue other avenues to try and find Bucky."

"You will keep in contact though right?" Coulson asked warily.

"I won't be far." Three said. After that it was just a matter of being cleared to leave. Everybody busied themselves with cleaning up the base, organising Cal for the TAHITI project, and locking up the Monolith taken from the Iliad. It gave Three time to lie back and think about her next move as she stared up at the ceiling. She ran her hands over her flat stomach nervous about what was going on inside her. Mostly she was left alone until Simmons came back and announced she was cleared and could leave. From there Three would pack and get ready to leave, she needed to part ways otherwise she would never find Bucky if she kept rushing off to help Coulson.

Entering the locker room she also found May packing up and holding some red lingerie and wearing a smile. "Special occasion?"

May looked up as she tucked the item in her bag, but otherwise did not say anything. Heading for the locker lent to her, Three grabbed her stuff that had been put there after being retrieved from Afterlife. Like May she started packing. "I heard from Simmons. Congratulations."

"Thanks," Three said softly as she frowned down at her bag and began checking to make sure everything was there.

"You heading out too?" May asked concerned.

"Yeah, past time I got back to soloing it." Three said, then sighed. "I need to find him, and I won't find him hanging about." Three peeked back at May who had that calm passive expression that never really revealed what May was thinking. She seemed to understand as she nodded then picked up her bag to go.

"Good luck." May said, then stopped and went back to her locker to retrieve her gun.

"Never can be too cautious." Three pointed out earning her a rare smile from May. Soon she was left alone in the locker room as May said her goodbye and left. After checking over her gear, Three snatched up her bag too and left the room. She did not get far when she saw Weaver, Mack, Fitz, and Simmons.

"You leaving too Galadriel?" Mack asked, making Three laugh at the new nickname she received for having these new Inhuman powers.

"Yeah, time for me to get back to going solo." Three replied, Mack looked disappointed as he sighed.

"Look we uh... we have never really got along before, but you are a good person. Coulson needs you." This was a lot for Mack to admit, but it was nice of him to admit it.

"And I need to find Bucky, not another disaster. Now more than ever it is important I find him. I won't be far, but I can't keep rushing off to every new disaster the crops up." Three said, then looked to Fitz and Simmons who gave her hopeful smiles. They both knew the need she had and neither wanted to stand in her way.

"Good luck, Kat. I hope you find him." Simmons said as she came forward giving Kat a brief hug.

"We will look for him too and let you know if we find anything." Fitz added as he hugged her, and Three purposely thought to Fitz. 'Thanks, but don't forget to ask Simmons out. The Italian restaurant sounds great, also roses. I am sure Simmons will love roses.'

When she pulled away Fitz was blushing a little, but otherwise pretended nothing happened. That was when Weaver spoke up. "I hope you will maintain contact. Coulson expressed a desire for you to be an advisor to SHIELD."

"I told Coulson I would maintain contact, but I will also be operating independently." Three said calmly as she wondered if Weaver would argue. Instead the woman nodded in agreement.

"Good, I never got to thank you for what you did aboard the Iliad. You saved my life and countless others. You also taught me how close SHIELD was to falling in the trap that would have made us no different from HYDRA. You reminded me of the difference between the two, and we needed that." Weaver replied extending her hand to shake Three's, and Three was surprised that the woman admitted this. Shaking her hand Three wished them well as they continued about their work and she headed for Coulson's office.

Three stopped at the door when she saw Coulson and Doctor Gardner inside talking, so she knocked on the door frame. Both men turned to her as she came in and noticed some blue printouts on the floor. "Sorry to interrupt the meeting. Just dropping by to let you know I am heading out."

"You sure about this Kat?" Coulson asked cautiously, "You just found out you are pregnant."

"I have to go, I have to find him. I kept putting it off and being distracted by the crisis' here. I cannot do that anymore." Three said, then noticed the frown on Coulson's face. "I already said I won't be far, if you need me you need only call and if able I will be back."

"Be careful out there. We will be looking for Barnes, and if you need anything let us know." Coulson said. Saying goodbye to both men, Three briefly stopped by to say goodbye to Hunter and Bobbi, then headed for the exit. That was when she ran into Cal and Skye, the SHIELD agent was simply showing Cal around and spending time with him before he would be sent to TAHITI. Most likely it would be the last time she would see him. Both spotted her and Skye rushed up to her hugging her.

"I heard what happened, are you okay?" The reaction stunned Three, but she hugged her back.

"Yeah, just heading out."

"You are leaving?" Skye asked pulling away to look at her.

"Yes, it is past time for me to go." Already Skye was shaking her head not wanting Three to leave.

"Kat we will find Bucky, you do not need to go."

"I know you will look for him, but I too must resume my own search. I want to find him before our baby is born...the thought of doing this alone is too much." Three admitted.

"Daisy, she needs to do this." Cal spoke up, "Believe me when I say no father should miss seeing their child." Cal smiled at Three as he came forward. "I wish you all the luck in the world that you find him, you will make him the happiest man alive."

"Thank you Cal." Three said grateful that he understood the need to find Bucky. "I heard you are to go through the TAHITI program, are you okay?"

"Yes, I heard I have you to thank for giving me a couple of days with Daisy. Thank you Kat." Cal said he gave her a hug before stepping back to give her and Skye a moment. Three swallowed hard as she looked to Skye.

"You will keep in contact right?" Skye asked, and Three nodded. "Good because we will miss you."

"Really? I thought I was a pain in the ass." Three joked getting both to laugh.

"No, you're a friend." Skye said firmly surprising Three as she hugged her. "Stay safe out there, and if you need anything call us."

"I will the same goes for you." Three replied, then pulled away. Stepping past them she moved up the ramp towards the hanger that held her motorcycle. She looked back at Skye and Cal waving to them before heading through the door and to her motorcycle. From there she focused on getting home and starting her main mission, the only mission that mattered now.

Coming home felt strange as Three entered the empty warehouse. As always the scanners checked and came up empty for trackers. This also surprised Three, before she had to ditch her clothes and items the last time she left. She never expected Coulson to simply let her leave without knowing where. However the trust she built with the group must have been enough to where Coulson made no further attempt to track her. Now alone though the crushing feeling of the situation made Three crumble to her knees when she neared the computers. Breaking down completely at the Playground was out of the question. Sure she had broken down a little with Coulson when she learned the news, but here and now she openly cried unashamed on her knees by the steps. She looked towards the clipboard where a picture of the Howling Commandos were pinned, and looked to James Barnes. "Are you alright Kat?"

"No—ooo." Three answered shakily realizing just how alone she was and how she hated it. While Aida was there, it was still not the same as having a physical person to hold you. "You heard what happened." This was not a question Aida knew she was pregnant because she was given entry into SHIELD's systems.

"It will be okay." Aida said reassuringly.

"Ple—ease! Just find him. Please Aida! Never stop looking." Three said breaking down crying as she sat on the step leading to the computers. She pulled her knees to her chest and rested her forehead against her knees effectively hiding her face. "Please find him..."

May 29th, 2015

San Francisco

This was not where Three intended to be, but what choice did she have. HYDRA's agents were drying up, no money was changing hands and leads were getting cold. Most of those within HYDRA had long since gone to ground or been arrested. Those that went to ground were not guaranteed safety as the Avengers had ransacked every base they knew of. However the only logical reason no trace of James Barnes had been found was because HYDRA had captured him. Both Coulson and Three had been searching for months and finding nothing.

Sadly Coulson was being pulled in a couple different directions, which was nothing really new. Shortly after Three left Simmons was sucked into the Monolith leaving a devastated Fitz. It was the one thing that pulled her back to close contact with Coulson's team. She promised to help find Simmons, so Aida was running constant searches for both Bucky and Simmons. However the other problem was the Terrigen crystals that were dumped into the ocean had now entered the echo-system with devastating effects. Now anyone with the potential could get powers. As terrible as the situation was Three offered intelligence to Coulson while performing her own searches. However anything else was not in the cards, not when her main purpose was to find Bucky.

Thus she had come to San Francisco where one of the last HYDRA operatives was meeting to secure some new game changing technology. Mitchel Carson was supposedly out of hiding to acquire tech from the CEO of Pym Technologies: Darren Cross. What this tech was, she did not really care; what she wanted was Carson's knowledge on the remainder of HYDRA. He would be the one to tell her where they were keeping Bucky.

Tonight was to be the unveiling of this new technology according to what Aida and herself discovered. So it was expected that Mitchel Carson would be in attendance to seal the deal he had with Cross. However securing an invitation was slightly harder to do as was suiting up for this mission. Three was already starting to show, and according to SHIELD doctors she could thank the super soldier serum for the accelerated pregnancy. At least she was not showing overly much, just a slight bump, however in the next couple months that would drastically change.

Due to the delicacy of the situation Three found herself in, Aida discovered an interesting fact. Someone had broken into an Avengers facility with some new shrinking tech, no sooner than this had happened Pyme Tech began tightening security. It was no coincidence, whoever broke into the facility was tied to Pym tech somehow. With the unveiling of the new tech, Three was sure something would disrupt the sale. In fact she was counting on it, and was not disappointed. She had scooped the location out days before learning that it was a highly secure building with few exits. There was a helicopter pad on the roof, and both a main and maintenance entrance with security checkpoints.

Three could probably bypass the maintenance entrance, but there were too many factors and Aida did not want her to risk herself trying to get to Carson. The night of the unveiling, Three had wondered it she had made a mistake in not trying to break in. There were too many chances Carson could escape, or so she feared. Turned out that staking out a building like this was far more interesting than she had originally thought.

First there were the cops that came to arrest the man that started Pym Technologies, Hank Pym. The most amusing part was watching the cop's car get stolen, an amusing diversion to allow Pym to escape the cops. The more Three watched the more amusing it got especially with the two jokers in the van. About then Three was laughing on the rooftop watching them through the scope of her rifle. That was when the chime of her phone came and she looked to see it was Coulson calling. "Hey Coulson what's up?"

"You have not called in a while, we were getting concerned." Coulson's calm voice replied.

"Oh you know me, I have been keeping busy." Three replied watching as the two men were pulled from their van to be arrested. 'There goes tonight's entertainment.'

"Any news?" Coulson asked.

"None, but I am in the process of chasing a lead. Mitchel Carson is a HYDRA operative that disappeared with the fall of SHIELD. He has resurfaced intent on acquiring some new tech from Pym Technologies."

"And he will lead you to Bucky how?"

"We have not found Bucky because I believe he was recaptured by HYDRA. So my only option is to find out where." Three explained.

"So Carson tells and we save Bucky." Coulson stated, and Three smiled that the SHIELD director still wanted to help her.

"Pretty much." Three admitted.

"Problem is you should have contacted me first rather than go it alone. The doctors state your pregnancy is gradually accelerating faster than a normal one. I don't like you in the field on your own. What if something goes wrong? You have more than one person to look out for now." It was not a new conversation, just one Three could do without right now. It was frightening enough that this was not a normal pregnancy, she needed her head in the game not fearing the worst.

"Coulson right now is not the time for this conversation. I am in the middle of watching for this one lead that can help me find Bucky." Three pointed out, just then an alarm had been triggered and people were scrambling outside. "I gotta go, something is up."

"Kat-" Coulson started to talk but she hung up and adjusted her scope to watch for Carson. Amongst the throng of people he eventually came out and was slipping through the crowd trying to escape the chaos. He was alone, so his guards or henchmen must have been killed or knocked out. Either way this was the golden opportunity she had been waiting for. "Aida Carson's leaving the building heading up the road. Keep eyes on him."

Heading to the edge of the roof she used the grappling hook of her rifle to lower herself to the ground. Compacting the rifle she followed careful to go unseen, only to hear a crash and look back. Seeing a tank on a chain crash out of Pym Technologies had to be one of those rare never expected to see things. Three shook her head in disbelief still unable to figure out how the tank just burst out of the building. "Kat, Carson is getting further away."

The words made Three turn to go down the street, the man himself had looked back shocked but wanted to escape before the authorities discovered his presence. She guessed that due to the situation Carson was forced to escape on his own, and no mode of transportation had been acquired. This meant he would call for help soon enough. "Aida I need you to cause a digital blackout for Carson, so that he has no signal to call for help."

"Already done." Aida confirmed as Three followed him at a distance. It was not long before he slipped into an alleyway to hide out, which was perfect. She was careful, quick, and quiet as the older man cursed at his phone. Thus she struck coming up behind him and knocking him clean out.

When next Mitchel Carson woke, it was in an old dingy room of some abandoned building. News papers littered the floor all around him, and the place gave off a funny disgusting smell. Someone had hit him from behind and he winced as he rubbed the back of his head and looked around the area. On the walls was graffiti, and the windows were either dust covered or broken. Finally his eyes fell on a figure leaning against one of the pillars close by.

"Awake at last took you long enough." The person was a woman.

Mitchel rose shakily to his feet. "You will regret this, do you have any idea who I am?"

"Mitchel Carson ex-head of defence at SHIELD, but is actually a HYDRA operative. Should I be shaking?" The woman stated as she stepped forward, Mitchel's eyes widened as he recognized the blackish-purple ninja suit. Mitchel sucked in a breath knowing Katseye never left agents of HYDRA alive. His one solace was he felt the weight of the vial of shrinking serum in his coat pocket.

"You want something, otherwise you would have killed me."

"Correct, but your death is happening anyway. How you chose to leave this world is entirely up to you."

"My allies are coming for me!" Mitchel said trying to bluff his way out of this.

"Oh your allies called on a phone with no signal? No, only in your dreams is anyone coming for you." Katseye replied calmly making Mitchel's heart freeze. "You have two choices you can answer my questions and die quickly, or refuse and I make you tell me and you die slowly."

"You forgot option three..." Mitchel tried to charge her and throw a punch only for her to easily dodge it catch his wrist and twist hard breaking his wrist. The man crumbled to the ground clutching his wrist as pain shot through his arm.

"There is no option three, and I never forget." Katseye replied,"Option two it is then. Don't worry you can scream as loud as you like, no one will hear you." Carson certainly did scream as Katseye proceeded to break bones and beat him senseless. Eventually Carson lay on the ground beaten battered, and bloody. "Ready to answer my questions?"

Weakly Carson nodded. "Good where is James Barnes? Where are you keeping the Winter Soldier?!"

"The—the winter soldier? He disappeared after the Helicarriers incident." Carson said, "No one knows where he is."

"Don't lie to me! In Russia the Ural mountains he helped me destroy a HYDRA base! Now he is gone, the only explanation is HYDRA has him and you are going to tell me where!" Three said, as added incentive she sent her piercing thoughts to Carson causing him even more pain. "Where is he?!"

"I—ahh! I don't know! Teams were sent to Russia—but no one found anything. The Avengers were on the scene!" Carson said clutching his head painfully, "AHHH! Please stop! Beta Squad was sent and confirmed that the Winter Soldier died in the blast! I swear! He is dead!"

Immediately the pain left and Carson could breath again as he realized this news shocked Katseye. "Dead? No!"

The news that James Barnes was dead caused Three to immediately stop her mental attack as she felt lost. This could not be, Bucky had survived worse than this! Tears wanted to spring to her eyes as she fought against the words. 'No! He is lying, he has to be! Bucky is alive and HYDRA has him, it is the only explanation!' So lost in the painful thoughts she did not see Mitchel trying to escape as he crawled away. It was only at a distance that she saw him struggle to his feet and stumble away that she pulled a blade and threw it. A moment later he fell to the ground unmoving and Three shakily walked away not bother to check if Carson was dead. It was too much as she gripped the pillar for support. This could not be, Carson had to have lied! This lead was a dead end, she would find others and find out the truth.

September 27th, 2015

The Playground

Six and a half months since discovering she was pregnant. Yet every lead turned out to be just as fruitless. After interrogating Carson, Three hung up her suit. It was now apparent that she was pregnant, and the SHIELD doctors estimated that it would not be carried to full term. Instead Three was lucky if the baby was not born by next month!

It was just a medical check-up today given by Bobbi since Simmons was still missing. The concerns were still there, but nothing was wrong at least. Bobbi came into the medical room with a notepad. "Hey there Kat, sorry for the delay new Inhuman was just brought in."

"I heard as much when I arrived, Daisy and co were sent to extract him." Three said casually, "How have you been?"

"Bored senseless in a lab." Bobbi replied hating that she was still going through rehab.

"Yeah you and me both. Can't wait to be back in the field." Three replied.

"You sure you will want back in the field after the baby is born?" Bobbi asked concerned.

"I have to, HYDRA is not gone Bobbi just hiding. I don't want to leave this unfinished and have this baby suffer for that mistake later on." Three said then added cheerfully, "Besides I still have to find Bucky."

Bobbi forced an encouraging smile, but Three was glad the SHIELD agent made no comment and instead changed the subject. "Well according to the test from last time you are one-hundred percent healthy as is the baby, but there is concerns that it is developing quicker than normal. Probably due to the serums the father and you carry."

"Yeah that is the general conscientious." Three admitted as Bobbi took some blood and ran some other tests.

"Have you decided on names?" Bobbi asked trying to start a conversation.

"Honestly I have not, I do not know what to name him or her. It is strange to give someone a name when I do not actually have one." Three admitted. Another painful subject touched on as Three was hoping for Bucky's input on names.

"So what have you been up to lately?"

"Mostly looking, and reading.." Three answered.

"Oh what have you been reading?" Bobbi asked.

"Baby books, books on pregnancy, you know those types."

"Well that is good, it shows you are fully prepared." Bobbi said which was strange because Three really did not feel prepared for any of this. A few minutes later Bobbi added, "Well your check up is good, nothing wrong but it looks like you have half a month at most."

Three could only nod hating that the baby might be brought into the world without it's father present. Regardless she bid Bobbi goodbye and got dressed, she figured she would stop by Coulson's office to check in with him. Nearing his office she heard voices inside the room.

"So if this woman is not HYDRA, what is she?" Coulson was asking as Three quietly stepped into the room.

"Everything else," Mack replied, "I mean look at this two years CIA."

"Is that MI6?" Hunter asked.

"Yeah," Mack answered as Three remained quiet looking at the multiple IDs for a middle aged woman. "Under which time she was consulting with the CDC apparently."

"All under different alias'." Coulson added.

"Sounds like me." Three replied getting all three men to almost jump as they turned around.

"Geez Galadriel make some noise next time. You know for a pregnant lady you are creepy quiet." Mack said making Three laugh a little.

"Nice to see you Kat, any advice?" Coulson asked not really bothered by her sudden appearance.

"This woman loves to be everywhere meaning she is high up in the food chain." Three said, "Have you used the algorithm on her?"

"Yeah, it was a no go." Hunter added.

"How are we suppose to track down someone like this?" Mack asked.

"I could make a suggestion..."

"Haha very funny Kat, but no. If we can track down the hardware it could give us a start." Coulson said pointing at the gun in evidence wrapper on the table.

"I was not suggesting I go into the field Coulson, but I could hack into the systems with Aida and give you some more Intel." Three pointed out.

"I know you were, but you should be taking it easy."

"Taking it easy is making me stir-crazy Coulson." Three pointed out, "There are only so many baby books I can stomach and baby stores I can go into before I want to commit Seppuku."

"Sapukey?" Hunter asked butchering the word.

"Japanese... it is ritual suicide by disembowelment." Three explained.

"Okay okay stop there. No need to explain it all." Mack said not wanting to hear this.

"Alright, if you want dig into it. Hunter take that down to Bobbi for analysis." Coulson said.

"Oh no no no no. I—no I'm not going anywhere near Bobbi."

"What are you twelve? Afraid of catching girl cooties?" Three asked as Hunter gave her a look, but Coulson replied as he took off his hand.

"Fine I will take it to her myself, would not want you to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable."

"Yeah I know that is sarcasm and Kat is teasing, but I am going to take your thoughtfulness at face value." Three faked a sneeze as she called out 'Chicken'.

"Oh excuse me allergies." Three said receiving another look from Hunter.

"You have gotten mean in your pregnancy." Hunter replied, as Coulson ignored the banter.

"Mack you should head downstairs assist Skye with intake."

"Daisy." Kat and Mack corrected.

"Daisy damn it. Hard for us to get used to huh?"

"Mmmm no just you." Mack replied getting Three to hide a smile. Three decided it was time for her to get going.

"I will head back to my hideout and start digging. I will be in touch." Three said leaving Coulson's office and heading back out to the hanger and her car. Driving home Three set to work digging up everything she could on the mystery woman with multiple names. For hours she researched and found multiple sightings that she compiled into a file to give to Coulson when she would see him again. It was later that evening while searching for more leads that she overheard the Presidential address airing.

"Good evening. I am here tonight to address growing concerns amongst our citizens of the threats we face that are not of this world. I don't need to remind people of the catastrophes in New York, London, and most recently Sokovia. Tragedies that seem to be growing in number and scale, and the organisation we had in place to protect us, SHIELD brought airships raining down in our Nation's capital. Everyday new dangers present themselves filling our peaceful streets with chaos By executive order I have created a special task force to neutralize these alien threats on our soil. The Advanced Threat Containment Unit or ATCU will be given full license to act with whatever authority is necessary. The laws of nature have changed, and until the laws of man change to reflect that we must do what we feel is right."

"Mr President how do you respond to reports that the recent incidents are in fact due to the spread of an alien contagion?" A reporter asked.

"These are rumours. They are not true. They are fabrications meant to boost ratings and cause hysteria. Any and all possibilities are being taken very seriously by the ATCU. "

"But if this is an outbreak shouldn't the public be made aware?"

"I think we should be careful the words we throw around. The last thing we need is panic in the streets. Any threat will be eliminated I can assure you."

"People have a right to know, are the infected among us?"

"Thank you that will be all for today." With that the president finished his televised appearance, but Three frowned. This was disturbing news and it would herald even more disturbing problems. As if on cue she received an e-mail from Coulson. The subject heading: 'Just a heads up'. It was a projection for the spread of the Terrigen crystals around the world estimating seventeen months and twenty-one days. "Well this is not good."

September 28th, 2015

The Playground

The next day Three came down and was checking to see what her programs had dug up on the mystery woman. Hacking into various agencies was quit revealing, so Three compiling her file on said woman before getting ready and returning to the playground to inform Coulson of her latest discoveries. She had just pulled into the hanger and was getting out when she spotted Coulson, Bobbi, and Hunter. They were obviously preparing for something. "...want to fly?"

"Desperately." Bobbi answered.

"Great here is our destination." Coulson replied.

"Okay what did I miss?" Three spoke up.

"We need a bell for her I swear." Hunter exclaimed.

"Welcome back Kat," Coulson replied, "As for what you missed last night Fitz broke into the Monolith's containment room and nearly got sucked up. He discovered sand brought back from an alien world, and we are heading out to see about getting an expert." During all this Bobbi was looking at the notepad.

"Who is Professor Randolph?"

"This Monolith has been studied for centuries well Randolph has actually been on the planet for those centuries, and he has travelled through a portal, and he is also an alien. So he has a lot going for him." Coulson explained.

"Not a Kree is he?" Three asked.

"Asgardian."

"Oh thank god." Three started up the ramp to the plane.

"And where do you think you are going?"

"With you, besides I got some dirt on mystery lady you might want to hear." Three replied holding up the file she had brought.

"You mean Rosalind? Met her."

"Points for SHIELD, but I got more than a name." Three pointed out dangling the file at Coulson, "So shall we?" Briefly Bobbi and Hunter kissed then Hunter turned to leave obviously to go after another assignment.

"Don't die out there." Bobbi said.

"And Hunter make sure he does." Coulson added, Ward, Hunter was going after Ward. Boarding the plane Bobbi got in the pilot's seat, and Three sat by Fitz.

"Hey Fitz heard you had a crazy moment." Three replied getting the man to laugh a little. The brief chat continued until they were in the air, then Bobbi set it to auto-pilot and came to sit by Coulson. "Alright I manage to get more Intel on Rosalind by hacking the other known alias'. Which meant hacking into the CIA, NASA, and MI6. She has a grand total of eight alias'. Married but husband died of cancer a couple years back, no children. Received special spy training that almost rivals Natasha Romanoff's. Most of these agencies she is associated with uses facial recognition software to keep out potential agents from rival companies. An example NASA would not want their project secrets all leaked to the CIA, somehow though she bypassed it without being noticed." As Three spoke she handed Coulson the file and he looked through it. "Her address and contact information is in the file, but something tells me to be cautious it could be a prop address."

"Prop address?" Fitz asked.

"An address that is a stage per say. The agent does not actually live there, but it is in case he or she is compromised. Often such locations have a nasty surprise for any unwelcome guests. I.E. a bomb or something just as bad. Also while I kept my hack low-key there might have been triggers in place to alert Rosalind to the fact her files had been accessed. She would not have been able to trace the hack but..."

"She knows someone accessed the information." Coulson concluded closing the file. "Great work, Kat."

"We will be landing soon." Bobbi spoke up as she got up and returned to the pilots seat. Soon they landed in Norway, and were met by agents that provided a car.

"So where are we heading?" Three asked getting into the car before Coulson could tell her no.

"A prison, sure you want to come?"

"Please I am not an invalid yet." Three replied. Sure a Norwegian prison was not on her hot spots to visit list, but Three wanted to help find Simmons too. Eventually they arrived at the prison and were checked in to visit this Professor Elliot Randolph. Mostly Three let Coulson and the others explain the situation.

"I am sorry. I can't help you."

"Can't or won't?" Coulson asked. The guy looked bored as he compared two different ways of saying potato as though to ask what the difference was. Three rolled her eyes. "And your reason?"

"The nightly news, cities flying into the atmosphere, government task forces, and now the public is freaking out about alien outbreaks." Randolph said, "Pretty crappy time to be on Earth if you are not a local so I am laying low. And of course there is my current situation."

"Destruction of private property, public drunkenness." Bobbi stated.

"Yes well Asgardian's can generally hold their drink, well one night I tried to hold all the drinks." Three chuckled and shook her head at that.

"Asgardian's are also strong right? You could easily break out." Bobbi pointed out.

"What and miss dinner?"

"The lunch man in the cafeteria spits in the gravy or adds something unhygienic to it to spice it up. Today is meat loaf day, I don't think you want to know what he added." Kat pointed out gaining a few looks. "What? I heard him when we passed a check point." Three added, never mind she heard the cook's thoughts not him verbally admitting it. However Coulson tried to keep from smiling as he knew she mind read the cook.

However Randolph did not seem to believe her as he laughed. "Oh no Norwegian prisons are surprisingly evolved. Decent food, comfy bed, extensive library and no attention being drawn to me. Come back in a few months maybe than I will be in the mood."

"We don't have a few months." Fitz said growing impatient.

"And neither do you." Coulson said to Randolph, "I do not have to remind you that I saved your life, though I did just mention it in case you forgot. But I would have no problem contacting those task forces you just mentioned, I bet they would go bonkers to have an Asgardian to dissect in their labs. I don't know how comfy you would be there."

"Why agent Coulson," Randolph stood up and came to the bars, "Are you threatening me?"

"I wouldn't call it a—well yeah I guess I am. That is absolutely a threat."

"You are different now, you know that?"

"One must accommodate the times, or things get messy."

Now that Randolph was closer he could tell Coulson's left hand was a prosthetic. "What is with the hand?"

"Things got messy."

"Well, you will have to cover my release, and if there is a portal which I will have to see to believe you are diving into very dangerous waters here." Randolph blew out a breath, "Alright well it is not like you are giving me any choice." With that Randolph pulled on the bars and yanked the entire cell door off. Setting it aside, Three sighed as the alarm went off and Randolph grabbed his jacket. They turned in time to see the prison guards coming and Randolph stood in front of them gesturing back to Coulson. "He did it."

Coulson could only smile embarrassed while Three shook her head in disbelief.

Author's Notes:

First off thank you all for the lovely reviews. Otherworlder81, Xuanny, and Rohirrim Girl 2187 asked if the baby Three is carrying will also receive Inhuman powers. I hope this chapter answers that question well enough. I figured it would be complicated enough for Three being pregnant, no need for the kid to have super powers too. As it is the baby will already be different.

Also Kyro232 asked if I based this character off of Psylocke, while I do like the X-Men, and Rogue is my favourite. The answer is: No I did not. The biggest differences are Three was raised in a HYDRA facility and started out as an ordinary human given a serum to give her a perfect memory and advanced intelligence. While there may be some similarities now that Three is a Inhuman, there is still a huge gap. For one I can guarantee you Three will never create melee weapons via telekinetic energies. Appearance wise Psylocke dyes her hair purple, whereas Three merely highlights hers and is still mostly black. On top of that she often wears the colour clip masking her true hair colour. As for the 'Ninja suit' Three wears... Psylocke's looks more like a bathing suit, where Three's looks more tactical less revealing.

Again thank you all for the lovely reviews.

As for this chapter, I mentioned before that Three's unborn child will be relatively normal. Well as normal as the situation allows. The other thing to point out is the other aspect of Three's powers. Aside from mental Instant messenger, the other key feature Three has is a type of mental attack. By sending her thoughts in a type of mental yell she is causing pain to the recipient as Lincoln learned early on. It will give her an edge later on, but I thought I would mention it since in the last Author's Notes I said there was another key feature to her powers.

Also I am willing to bet you caught the Ant Man reference, and what happened to Mitchel Carson. Just something to note I am unsure if Marvel is going to use this character in the next Ant man movie so right now it is questionable as to weather or not Three actually killed him. She did not physically check to make sure she killed him, so if he appears in the next Ant Man movie, then Three injured him but he survived.

Lastly the episode that is featured towards the end of this chapter is Agents of SHIELD season 3 episode 2 'Purpose in the Machine.' In truth Three is never the type to just sit around doing nothing. Hence her off and running with SHIELD even pregnant. Don't worry Coulson is not going to let her go off fighting bad guys any time soon.

Anyway hope you enjoyed this chapter and I look forward to hearing from you. Please let me know what you thought of this chapter.
