Rated T? Dark Themes and Violence might change at a later date.

If you guys have any tips or suggestions feel free to suggest. I am still new to writing stories so I will gladly accept anything :3

However he didn't get really far as the Avengers minus Clint quickly blocked the pathway with Tony shacking his head stating, "We would like some answers first."

Coulson got one long glance at Skye before lowering his head and sighing in defeat, "Alright... what do you want to know?"


Natasha tried holding it together but at the moment it all her bottled up emotions exploded out, "How are you even alive? Loki stabbed you, Thor watched it happen... the scepter went through and through piercing your heart. We -I -..." but froze unable to get out all her thoughts as she began choking up.

Coulson filled with massive regret released a heavy sigh before answering, "Well Fury wasn't entirely wrong... I did die on that air carrier."

The avengers extremely confused now, Tony asked, "Timeout... Your saying Fury was able to revive you?" with Bruce adding on, "We all saw the damage, that shouldn't be possible..."

Coulson nodded, "Well it was... It was a SHIELD project Fury formed in 2009 named Terrestrialized Alien Host Integrative Tissue I. or T.A.H.I.T.I. we me overseening the project, we began working on GH, a medicine capable of healing a mortally wounded Avenger if need be..."

Bruce even more intrigued asked, "Alien Host Intergrative Tissue... are you saying Fury injected you with alien blood?"

Coulson nodded answering that question before continuing, "More specifically it was Kree, a humanoid blue alien that compared to humans... has a very extreme regenerative healing factor that allows someone to heal from a fatal injury."

Tony not fully believing it asks, "What's the catch?"

Coulson briefly paused before answer, "I gathered 6 SHIELD agents all having terminal diseases we injected them with the modified blood, with all their illnesses quickly terminated but right before their release, each one began to displaying several signs of insanity the biggest one being these unknown markings. Any place and with any object they would carve into anything they could."

Natasha still recovering from her moment states, "But you seem to be fine... Why is that?"

"Dr. Goodman, one of the doctors of the project discovered the Kree blood was implanting its genetic memory onto the patients. She suggested using the memory overwriting machine which we used and erased all their knowledge of being a SHIELD agent, giving them a new life. But I couldn't continue on, I felt like it was all wrong... I sent Fury my concerns and my resignation from the project, and focused my attention towards the avengers initiative hoping that was the end of it."

Clint the only person not standing, continuing to lay on his side mutters, "But it wasn't..."

Coulson still filled with guilt shakes his head, "No, Fury sent me to the guest house where project T.A.H.I.T.I was worked on. But instead of erasing all my memories, he erased everything relating to my knowledge about the project and implanted memories of recovering on a beach in Tahiti. After my recovering Fury assigned me a mobile command unit where we began solving unclassified cases for SHIELD."

The avengers took a few minutes clearly trying to take that all in except Thor who was stuck on the unconscious girl in the other infirmary bed across from Clint. There is something about her but he has no idea what it is... He briefly continues to stare before looking towards Coulson asking, "What about the girl? You said her name was Skye right?"

Coulson was slightly taken aback honestly was expecting more questions regarding him or even the Kree considering Sif's reaction to them but nods answering, "Yeah her name is Skye... I assume Hill briefed you about her?"

Natasha nodded stating, "It was very brief only about how SHIELD found her and some footage regarding her powers."

Bruce intrigued by the topic asked, "Was hoping you could explain a little bit regarding how she obtained them?"

Coulson nodded a few tears running down his face stating, "Before I answer... I just want to thank you all for bring her back, I thought I lost her again... I am truly grateful."

Tony without a moments thought asks, "What do you mean again?"

Coulson closed his eyes wiping away the extra tears and taking a deep breath before pointing towards Skye, "After a few weeks of Skye being on the team as a consultant, she started training to become a agent... But during a mission she got shot twice point blank to her stomach. We-" biting his tougue as the awful pictures reappeared. Taking a few deep breaths before continuing, "Were able to get her to a hospital but they couldn't offer anything else, she was stuck in life support... But I realized there was a way to save her."

Steve knowing where this was going just states, "Project T.A.H.I.T.I"

Coulson nodded, "We were able to track down the originally lab where it was made, grabbing one of the last vile and it worked, managing to make a full recover rather quickly and right before Hydra's reveal."

Bruce still confused asks, "How does this contribute to her obtaining powers?"

Coulson smirked continuing, "Because unlike me and the other patients for project T.A.H.I.T.I, Skye never showed any of our side effects and required no memory wipe."

Thor perked his head up in realization and asking Coulson, "Did she ever come into contact with any Terrigen Crystals or a Diviner?" Coulson slightly caught of guard but the sudden question just slowly nodded his head to answer and Thor almost jumped in excitement stating, "Do you know what this means? We are looking at a race thought to been erased eons ago, and were said to be some of the greatest warriors across the nine realms. Have there been others?"

Coulson worried about his excitement gestured for Jemma to show him grabbing a tablet and tapping a few screens until displaying Raina and Thor gets the biggest grin on his face before declaring, "We finally found some Inhuman survivors... Its a miracle."

Tony shocked but also confused on what he was saying so he asks, "Ummm Earth to Thor, great to see you having fun but me and the others would really like to know what a Inhuman is?"

Thor chuckled before walking towards Skye stating, "Centuries ago, the Kree were in a long war with high casualties. In need of more soldiers, One desperate faction of Kree decided to genetically modify the DNA of other intelligent creatures across various planets, in hopes of gaining warriors powerful enough to win the war. One of those planets was Earth where they began to manipulate the humans turning them into Inhumans. But shortly after another faction of Kree began shutting down all of these projects down effectively ending the modified creatures or at least Odin thought so but he profited anyone searching for them anyways so we were always led to believe they were instinct."

The entire room was taking all the information in while Coulson continued to stare at Skye before asking, "Any other questions? I would like to get Skye back home."

The Avengers all looked at each other before Natasha shakes her head, "No, not going to let you just appear out of nowhere and instantly leave afterwards."

Coulson slightly shocked begins to counter, "S-"

But then Clint who just finished drinking his smoothie talked over him asking Tony, "We have enough room for them at the party right?"

Tony smirked knowing where he was going said, "Yeah will have plenty of room and the more people the better."

Coulson opened his mouth to say something but Steve shook his head saying, "We all thought you were dead, least you can do. Plus Dr. Cho will give you updates on her status if that will help ease tension. She is the best for a reason."

Coulson conflicted looked back towards his team, almost all of them looking really stressed and it could help ease the tension they have had since the new vs old SHIELD drama. Giving it a few more thoughts be reluctantly shrugs his shoulders stating, "We could sure the break and I trust Dr. Cho's judgement, all I ask is a few minutes with Skye..."

Steve smirks, "Take as much time as you need, Clint you able to walk now?"

He nods slowly tilting up and smirking, "Yep its like it never happened." before jumping off the bed and leaving along side the another Avengers except Cho who began running her Skye's vitals. Steve stopped and whispered quietly to Cho, "Keep the file to yourself, I want to look into first and I don't think they are ready to hear or see the binder."

Cho slowly nodding her head causing Steve to smirk before leaving the room leaving only Dr. Cho, Hill and the other SHIELD agents.


A little while later

Tony walked next to Bruce's as they walked into the Avengers lab, with Bruce asking, "What's the rumpus?"

Tony smirked as he walked to a desk before grabbing a mini tablet stating, "Well, the scepter. You see, we were wondering how Strucker got so inventive. So, I've been analyzing the gem inside" before tapping it in the air causing a 3D orange sphere to appear, "You may recognize."

Bruce nodded his head exchanging greetings, "Jarvis."

With Jarvis morphing around before replying, "Doctor."

He turns towards Bruce stating, "Started out, JARVIS was just a natural language UI. Now he runs the Iron Legion. He runs more of the business than anyone besides Pepper. Top of the line."

Bruce just mutters, "Yes." with Jarvis adding, "I suspect not for long."

Tony quickly walks over to the scepter scanning it with his mini tablet proclaiming, "Meet the competition." and tapping it in the air. Well a blue 3D sphere that is more than twice Jarvis size and Bruce is mesmerized saying, "It's beautiful."

Tony watched as Bruce walked around it asking, "If you had to guess, what's it look like it's doing?"

Bruce continued to study it, "Like it's thinking. I mean this could be a...it's not a human mind, it... I mean, look at this!" throwing his hand into the model causing it shift before continuing, "They're like neurons firing."

Tony nodded before stating, "Down in Strucker's lab I saw some fairly advanced robotics work. They deep-sixed the data, but...I gotta guess he was knocking on a very particular door."

Bruce instantly knew what he was getting at without a moments hesitation saying, "Artificial intelligence."

Tony now excited proclaimed, "This could be it, Bruce. This could be the key to creating Ultron."

Bruce smirked, "I thought Ultron was a fantasy."

Tony corrected him, "Yesterday it was." looking over his shoulder to make sure they were alone before whispering, "If we can harness this power, apply it to my Iron Legion protocol."

Bruce began to pace around the lab saying, "That's a mad-sized if."

Tony walked with him trying to reason, "Our job is if. What if you were sipping margaritas on a sun-drenched beach turning brown instead of green? Not looking over your shoulder for VERONICA."

Bruce turned to him saying, "Don't hate, I helped design VERONICA."

Tony nodded as they paced again, "As a worst-case measure, right? How about a best-case? What if the world was safe? What if next time aliens roll up to the club, and they will, they couldn't get past the bouncer?"

Bruce getting the idea answers, "The only people threatening the planet would be people."

Tony nods before whispering, "I want to apply this to the Ultron program. But JARVIS can't download a data schematic this dense. We can only do it while we have the scepter here that's 2 days, give me 2 days."

Bruce seeing the flaws states, "I don't think we would have enough time especially with the SHIELD agents here."

Tony smirks, "I already took care of that. Do you remember the names Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons?"

Bruce shakes his head, "No can't say I have."

Tony surprised but ignores it continuing, "Well both have Genius-Level Intellect for their age, even made some of the equipment we use here."

Bruce confused asks, "What your point?"

Tony smirked before answering, "My point is they just so happen to be on Coulson's team and would be more than willing to help us."

Bruce shook his head, "How did you manage that?"

Tony just laughs saying, "Nothing bad if that is what you are thinking, kids wanted to make a gadget to help Skye out so I offered my lab in exchange for the help on this."

Bruce rolls his eyes in disbelief saying, "So you're going for artificial intelligence and you don't want to tell the team instead bring in two SHIELD agents to help."

Tony sighs saying, "Right. That's right, you know why, because we don't have time for a city hall debate. I don't want to hear the "man was not meant to meddle" medley. I see a suit of armor around the world."

Bruce still not convinced says, "Sounds like a cold world, Tony."

Tony states, "I've seen colder. This one, this very vulnerable blue one? It needs Ultron." Walking towards the door as Fitz and Simmons who were waiting outside, but stops after tapping tablet a few times proclaiming, "Peace in our time. Imagine that." before letting Fitz and Simmons in to start their work.


So what you guys think? Next chapter will be set up some more stuff and party time! I want to apologize for not updating this story and my other stories in months. I started this working on this chapter in January but every since February, I have been a utter train wreak barely able to even do basic functions.

I am going to try my best to get these updated more often, just know that these stories aren't gone. I plan to update them all, I have just need personal space to recover and hope it never hits that level again.
