Chapter .1.
Castle's Penthouse apartment: New York
Alex Rodgers A.K.A Richard Castle was sitting in his study typing away on his new book when the phone rings. It was Columbia University.
"Hello Richard Castle speaking", Castle says answering it
"Mr Castle you need to come to the University something is wrong with your daughter", the dean says
"How bad?" Castle asks
"Real bad you need to get here ASAP", the dean says
"I'm coming. I will be there in 20 minutes", Castle says hanging up
He dashes to his car and speeds off towards the University. This can't be happening. Castle shook his head to get rid of those thoughts. He arrives at the University in record time and goes to the deans office.
"Where is my daughter?" Castle asks
"In the sick bay be warned it is bad and she has been sedated. She was screaming about her mother and some other stuff we couldn't understand", the dean says leading his to the sick bay
Castle found his daughter as pale as a ghost hooked up to a lot of stuff. Many of the equipment he recognized. She was turning a purple colour. Castle knew this was not a normal sickness. He turns to the nurse and the dean.
"Can I have a minute alone?" Castle asks
"Yes sir. We will be right outside", the nurse says leaving with the dean
Once he was sure them left he picks up his encrypted phone from his ankle and dials 1.
"State your name", a voice says
"Alex Rodgers I need to speak to the director immediately. It is most urgent", Castle says
"What is the code word?" the voice asks
"Thunderball", Castle says looking at his daughter with a pained face
"Agent Rodgers I will get the director for you", the voice says
"I am Director Fury retired Agent Rodgers what can I do for you?" Director Fury asks
"My daughter is deathly ill. And it is not a normal illness. She is turning purple and screaming about her mother she has now been sedated", Castle says
"I will send a team to pick you both up. Wait where you are they will come to you", Director Fury says
"Hurry", Castle says hanging up
He looks at his daughter he couldn't lose her. He already lost her mother he couldn't lose her as well. His normal phone rings but he turns it off. Not caring if it was Kate. He paces the room for 2 hours before he hears raised voices.
"You need to let us in you have no idea what you're dealing with", a male voice says
Castle goes and opens the door to see a team of 6 was out there.
"I sent for them. They are taking my daughter away for treatment", Castle says in authority voice
"Ok Mr Castle. Good luck", the dean says moving the nurse away
"Agent Rodgers I am Agent Philip Coulson this is my team Agent Melinda May, Agent Grant Ward, Agent Leo Fitz, Agent Jemma Simmons and Skye. Let's get your daughter in the car and into the plane we have orders to take her to the HUB", Agent Coulson explains
"You have my permission. But I will be going with you", Castle says
"Do you need to get anything from home?" Agent Coulson asks
"Yes. I will meet you at the airport in 90 minutes", Castle says
"90 minutes it is. Be quick your daughter's life might depend on it", Agent Coulson replies
Castle runs back to his car and drives home. He runs into his study and unlocks the bottom draw of his desk revealing his S.H.I.E.L.D ID, gun and other equipment which he all puts in a bag with his clothing. One thing was for sure he was going to catch the bastard who did this to his daughter. Once he was done he leaves the apartment without leaving a note. He arrives at the airport in record time.
"Agent Rodgers come on board we are ready to go", Agent Coulson says leading his onto their special plane
Castle was used to this type of plane. Actually he knew how to fly it. It was all part of his training.
"Let's go to my office. Your daughter is in the care of Agent Simmons and Agent Fitz are taking samples", Agent Coulson says leading him to his office
"Do we know what it is yet?" Castle asks as the plane takes off
"Not yet. But you are right this is not normal. We are taking you too the HUB. We should he there in 2 hours", Agent Coulson replies
"Thank you Agent Coulson", Castle says
"Please call me Phil. I have heard of you. You are a legend", Agent Coulson says
"Please call me Alex. I knew about you I thought you were dead", Castle replies
"No just badly scared. Where are your scars?" Agent Coulson asks
"I forgot I always wear this", Castle says taking of the wrist band and showing his scars
"There is more than I thought", Agent Coulson says
"That's what everyone says. But I gave as good as I got", Castle replies
"Good for you. Do you want a drink?" Agent Coulson asks
"Sure. It will help calm me about my daughter", Castle says
2 hours later they were landing at the HUB. Where they were meet with S.H.I.E.L.D doctors and nurses who reel Alexis off to the hospital wing.
"Boss it is good to see you again", a woman says
"You too Agent Tallulah Cooper. You have your own team now?" Castle asks as they walk
"Yes. But I am here at the HUB at the moment. Lets get you to the conference room Deputy Director Demelza Thor's daughter is waiting to brief you", Agent Cooper says, "Agent Coulson and your team can come too"
They all follow her to the big conference room where a woman with blonde hair and ocean eyes with a gold ring around them.
"Agent Rodgers it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Demelza Thor's daughter", Demelza says smiling shaking Castle's hand
"You too Agent Thor. What do we know about my daughter's condition?" Castle asks taking a seat
"Well we know it is a new disease. In runs through your system killing all the good in your system", Demelza says, "And makes you remember your worst memories"
Castle pales his daughter really was dying.
"Our scientists are working on a cure. But we need to stop whoever did this. Agent Coulson and Agent Cooper your teams will be in charge of it. Agent Rodgers is their anyone you can think of you would like here?" Demelza says gently
"Yes. My NYPD team, my mother and doctor Lanie Parish", Castle says thinking about his team in New York
"It will be done. Agent Coulson wait for me to get the clearance for them to come here and call the Police Boss to arrange for Detective Katherine Beckett, Detective Javier Esposito and Agent Kevin Ryan to come here and help. Do you agree Agent Coulson?" Demelza asks
"Yes mam I agree. We will pick them up and bring them here", Agent Coulson says
"Good. Agent Cooper show Agent Rodgers to his room", Demelza says
"Can I be a part of the investigation?" Castle asks
"I will talk to the Director about it. Now go and rest I will send someone to get you when your fiancée arrives", Demelza replies
"Thank you Deputy Director", Castle says following Agent Tallulah Cooper to his room
He hoped Kate and the others wound help. And he hoped that would get here soon…
