They soon got facial recognition on one of the super soldiers and found out he had only one living relative, and decided to go get information from her.

Coulson had taken Ward to see the woman, and on the way Ward got him talking about one of his past love interests that hadn't ended well. She was a cellist, and had thought for months that Coulson was dead, so he had thought it was better to leave it that way.

"Maybe if she'd been part of the agency?" Ward suggested that it could have worked out.

"In my experience that's just asking for trouble" Coulson admitted.

"…Right" Ward sighed.

"However…have you heard of the quote 'better to have loved and lost'?" Coulson asked.

"Yeah, what about it?" Ward inquired.

"Just something to think about" Coulson said with a small smile on his face.


"Po only had one visitor during his prison stint...her. You notice the outfit? Miles said a girl in a flower dress asked him to hack S.H.I.E.L.D. This could be the same girl" Skye explained.

"Can we hear the conversation?" May questioned.

"That's the bummer...there was no audio, but it's not a total loss. I was able to use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s lip-reading program, because we have one of those!" Skye exclaimed, getting another nudge from Kayla.

"It didn't work on the girl because she never looks up at the camera, but Po did...once and it caught this" Skye told them, turning on the audio.

"The Clairvoyant does not like to be touched" The computer stated.

"I wrote that down, so we don't have to hear that again...ever" Skye insisted.

"The Clairvoyant" May stated.

"Yeah. Does that mean anything to you?" Skye asked.

"No. But it means something to them...to Po and whoever that woman is" May exclaimed.

"Her name's Raina" Mike told them all.

"You know her?" Skye inquired.

"Yeah, she recruited me for Centipede, came up to me at the hospital where I did my back therapy out of the blue. Told me she could change my life" Mike explained.

"Well she certainly did that" Kayla sighed.

"We should call Coulson" May insisted.


"We're running her through our systems. Maybe we can get an I.D., but we're guessing she's Centipede's recruiter and Po's her latest recruit" Skye told him.

"Three super soldiers dive-bomb a prison, pluck him out? He's her number-one draft pick" Coulson explained.

"But why him?" Skye asked.

"Centipede's making more soldiers. Maybe they want Po to coordinate them, lead them" Coulson suggested.

"His background's tactical strategy. He fits the bill" May added.

"So, these guys have super soldiers, an expert military strategist, and a Clairvoyant who can see the future. Anyone else thinking about switching teams?" Skye joked.

"They couldn't have a psychic. There are none on the index. They're a myth" Coulson stated.

"Uh…so were people with telekinesis until I showed up" Kayla insisted.

"Maybe it's an alias. Run it through our database and see if anything pops up. Ward is approaching Hayward's sister now" Coulson told them.

"What story did you go with?" May asked.

"Handsome man offering you lots of money…she'll call her brother" Coulson explained.

"Well I think Kayla here would just rather run off with the handsome man" Skye teased, making Kayla roll her eyes.

Later, once Coulson and Ward had come back, Mike was trying on his new suit for the mission.

"I think it's quite smart" Simmons stated.

"How does it feel?" Fitz inquired.

"Feels good. Comfortable" Mike replied.

"Having powers is cheating, but the suit's pretty cool" Ward mumbled in the background.

"Aw, is someone jealous of all the attention the new guys getting?" Kayla asked, from where she was sitting on the hood of the car.

"No, just stating the facts" Ward grumbled.

"…So jealous" Kayla laughed, as she went to listen to Coulson's orders.

"Hayward's cellphone has been traced to an abandoned factory about eight miles from here" Coulson announced.

"Probably Centipede's new lab" Ward stated, walking up to them.

"Certainly been there M.O…we destroy one factory, they set up another, putting us back to square one. This time, I want answers" Coulson explained.

"Means we go in quiet, do minimal damage to the facility and the people inside" May told them.

"Ward, May and Kayla you'll go in through the west entrance. Mr. Peterson and I will enter through the loading dock. You'll run the back end from outside" Coulson ordered.

"We're doing this just us? We've been playing whack-a-mole with these guys since Ward first picked me out of my van. Shouldn't big S.H.I.E.L.D. be sending in backup?" Skye asked.

"Trust me, they already did" Coulson insisted.

"Let's move" May told them.

"No pressure" Fitz said, patting Mike on the back.


They were at the warehouse in a matter of minutes, but it seemed that they were too late, because the place was bare, when suddenly the super soldiers started emerging from the containers.

Two super soldiers advanced on the three of them, much stronger than them all. Ward took on one of them, while May fought another soldier off with some pipes. One of the soldiers was about to hit her, but Ward pushed her out of the way, getting thrown himself.

"Ward!" Kayla shouted, as the soldier advanced towards him.

She quickly made a grabbing motion, using her telekinesis to bring one of the pipes into her hand, then ran towards the soldier, and stabbing him in the neck with the pipe. The soldier then fell to the ground, blood pouring from his neck.

"Thanks" Ward stated, as she helped him up.

"No problem" Kayla replied.

"Who's behind centipede? Who's doing this?!" Coulson shouted, at one of the soldiers Mike had been able to knock down.

"I won't say anything. I promise" The man exclaimed.

"No, please…don't do-" The man was cut off as something in his eye exploded.

"Damn it, is he alive?" Coulson asked Kayla, pointing to the soldier she had taken down.

"No, sorry" Kayla replied.

"You killed him?" Coulson questioned, surprised.

"What was I supposed to do? The night night gun didn't work" Kayla exclaimed.


"Are you alright?" Ward asked, as he drove Kayla back to the Bus.

"Yeah, why?" Kayla questioned.

"Well you did just a kill a man" Ward explained.

"Not the first guy I've killed" Kayla shrugged.

"Oh…really?" Ward asked, surprised.

"Yeah, I'm not some stupid damsel in distress you know" Kayla replied.

"Unlike me" Ward sighed.

"Nah, you were right earlier. Having powers is cheating" Kayla admitted.

"Oh, so now I'm not jealous?" Ward asked, a small smile on his face.

"No way, you're totally jealous" Kayla exclaimed.

"…But you know I can see why, as Jemma would say, he's so firm and symmetrical…" Kayla trailed off, watching how Ward glared at the road and clenched his jaw.

"Ha! Jealousy, right there" Kayla laughed.

"Pft, that's…I'm not!" Ward insisted.

"Don't worry Ward, Mike's not my type" Kayla admitted.

"What is your type?" Ward inquired.

"Secret" Kayla said, tapping her nose.
