The windows of the jet eventually became clear again, revealing walls of cascading water all around them.
"Is this Niagara Falls?" Peter asked.
Fury ignored the question and got up as the plane touched down, leading Peter outside.
"This process shouldn't take long. You'll probably be home tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
Fury didn't answer him and just started walking towards the door into the base. Peter followed after him. Fury was quiet as he led Peter through the maze of tunnels until they arrived at a door.
"Mr Parker, I'd like you to meet Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons" Fury said as he opened it, "They're going to help you get set up."
"Agents, this is Peter Parker, AKA Spider-Man."
With that, Fury the left the room.
"So… You guys are SHIELD agents? You see a lot of action?" Peter asked, trying to make small talk.
"Well, we're more into the science side of things." Jemma said "Our friends tend to drag us into their shenanigans more often than not. You would not believe the last two weeks."
Jemma told him a little of their travels while she took a quick blood sample. After that, Fitz asked a few questions about Peter's webbing, offering to help make more.
Fury then returned and lead Peter to another room.
"Meet your classmate…" Fury said, opening the door. A young woman was sitting at a desk inside. She got up, walked over and offered to shake hands.
"Hi, I'm Skye." She said.
"Peter. Peter Parker."
"Mr. Parker here will be joining you in your crash course." Fury said to her. "Your teacher will be here in a minute."
"you look familiar…" Peter said as Fury left. "wait, aren't you Quake?"
"No… no that would be… that would be my sister." Skye said. "Yeah… Sister."
"Oh, really…" Peter said, getting a sense from her tone something was up.
The door opened and another, identical young woman walked in.
"You forgot this." She said, handing a phone to her twin.
"Oh… right." Skye said, "So I have to carry this thing around all the time?"
"It's a phone. You can use it to call Jas whenever you want."
"I can? Sweet!"
The other girl shook her head with a sigh and left.
"What was that?" Peter asked.
"THAT was Quake." She said, "My sister, Daisy."
"And what's a 'jas?"
"Oh, my wife." Skye said with a smile.
She played with the screen like a small child until she found what she was looking.
"Wow… it works." She said with a smile, holding it up to her ear "Hey babe… I… No, I haven't seen him. He's here? He did WHAT!?"
Skye bolted from her chair and ran for the door.
Smack into a tall man who was enter.
"Sorry Mac, I need to go yell at Scott." Skye said, trying to get around him.
"He was afraid of this."
He pulled the phone out of Skye's hands and spoke to the person at the other end of the line.
"It's all taken care of, now go sit down before you burst a blood vessel or something."
The man walked over to Peter.
"Peter, I'm Deputy Director Alphonse Mackenzie, everyone just calls me Mack, so feel free to yourself."
Mac sat down with the two and went over the basic rules and regulations with them, answering any questions.
"Is there a real point to this?" Peter asked
"SHIELD's had it's ups and downs over the last few years. We're trying our hardest to get back into the government's good graces, but it isn't easy. Everything we're doing now has to be official and audited. A few days ago, I could hand you a badge and you'd be all set. Now… It's complicated. That's why Director Fury agreed to come out of 'retirement'. We needed a face the government trusts."
Mack stood
"Now that this part of the program is done," He continued, "on to the next phase."
