Daisy Johnson POV
Once Natasha had been fixed up by the doctor, I found myself sitting between Fury and Maria. Coulson's team, my own and Sam sat on the other side of the table. "So, an explanation." I started to say before taking a deep breath. "To answer the questions, you asked earlier Steve. The reason why we let you guys think Fury died at the hospital." I started to say, knowing that we had to start somewhere. "Any attempt on the director's life had to look successful." Maria continued, her voice short and to point. "Can't kill you if you're already dead. Besides, I wasn't sure who I could trust within those walls." Fury continued to say.
"In other words, welcome to Deep Shadow Condition." I translated. "If HYDRA were to move away from the shadows we knew they were hiding within, Deep Shadow Condition was to be activated. Basically, it meant that I would take all of you here for safety during the time we figure out our next move. Letting HYDRA think they could take out Fury was a part of the plan I wasn't really happy about at first." I then continued, and I could see a few heads nodding at that. "Now that we are all here, let's go over the next part of the plan." I finished, and Maria took out a picture of Alexander Pierce.
"This man declined the Nobel Peace Prize. He said, 'Peace wasn't an achievement, it was a responsibility.'" Fury started to say, his eye narrowed as he looked at the picture. "See, it's stuff like this that gives me trust issues." He then added, and I could not help but to roll my eyes at his comment. "We have to stop the launch." Natasha pointed out and doing a quick scan around me I could see that Steve and Sam had told Coulson and the others what had happened, since neither of them looked confused. "I don't think the Council's accepting my calls anymore." Fury said as he put a case on the table and open it up, showing of the three chips that were inside.
"What's that?" Sam, Trip and Fitz asked at the same time as they were looking at the chips. "Once the Helicarriers reach three thousand feet, they'll triangulate with Insight satellites becoming fully weaponized." Maria explained. "We need to breach those carriers and replace their targeting blades with our own." Fury continued the explanation. "One or two won't cut it. We need to link all three carriers for this to work, because if even one of those ships remains operational a whole lot of people are going to die." Maria took over saying once more.
"We have to assume everyone aboard those carriers is HYDRA. We need to get pass them, insert the server blades, and maybe, just maybe, we can salvage what's left…" Fury started to say once more only to be stopped by Steve. "We're not salvaging anything." He points out and all eyes were on him. "We're not just taking down the carriers, Nick, we're taking down S.H.I.E.L.D." He then added, and I could feel how my eyes grow big. I had expected a comment like this to happen. However, I never thought it would come out of Steve Rogers mouth.
"S.H.E.I.L.D had nothing to do with it." Fury quickly defends with, his arms crossing over his chest. One look towards Steve and I knew Fury had already lost this fight. "You gave me this mission, this is how it ends. S.H.I.E.L.D's been compromised, you said it yourself. HYDRA grew right under your nose and nobody notice." Steve continued saying. "We did notice, or have you already forgotten Rogers?" I could not help but to say. There was more ice in my voice than I had expected, and it made everyone in the room freeze up themselves.
"Besides, Fury had no idea about Barnes." I then added, my own arms crossed now, and I could see a hint of shame flash in Steve's eyes. "S.H.I.E.L.D, HYDRA, it all goes." Steven than said, letting go of the other part for the time being. "He's right." Maria agreed, this made both me and Fury look at her out of surprise. Fury turned his head to look at everyone else that was sitting around the table. Every single one of them nod their head in agreement. "Don't look at me. I do what he does, just slower." Sam was the only one to answer and Fury turned his head to look at me. "I'm sorry Nick." I told him, knowing fully well that Steve was right.
"Well… Looks like you're giving the orders now, Captain." Fury told Steve who nodded his head. "Damn right I am." He answered, and I rolled my eyes at that. "Alright, now that we got that part out of the way it's time we really do something about it all." I commented and leaned forward on the table. "I thought Cap was the one giving orders." I could hear Sam whisper, only to have Natasha wave her hand at him. "We need to split up in three teams." I then continued, looking at the group in front of me. "Clint, you and Coulson's team will head for the HUB. Make sure Hand has all the help she will need." The group in question nodded their heads at that and I could feel how May was eyeing me carefully.
"Stark, Pepper and Bruce." I then continued and the three in question looked at me. "Make sure there is an army of lawyers waiting for us all once all of this is over." I told them, Tony smiling big at this and nodded. "That is easy fixed." He answered with a grin. Looking towards the rest of the agents in the room I took a deep breath. "That means we will take care of the work on the front line. Natasha, do you mind impersonate a council member?" I then continued, turning my eyes towards Natasha and she nodded her head in an answer. "Good, Maria. For this you are going to have to be our eyes and ears in all of this." I told Maria, even she nodded her head at that. "Just get me inside and I can take care of that." She answered me, and I smiled a little at that.
"Fury, you will stay close by to Natasha at all time. I would recommend, however to do that outside. If this is to work properly we need your eye to unlock and release all information there is about both S.H.I.E.L.D and HYDRA." Looking towards Fury as I spoke the older man nodded his head, still being clear that he wasn't all to happy about this plan. "And for the rest of us?" Sam asked, turning my head towards him I smile. "We will take down a carrier each." I told him, and Sam lowers his head at that. "I was afraid you would say that." He commented, and I rolled my eyes.
"Once the secrets are out and S.H.I.E.L.D is no more, you all need to go into hiding. I will contact you all a week later to give you a location to a safe place where we can meet up and decide from there on what to do." I finished, and heads were being nodded again. "Good, now head out." I told them and stood up. Seeing how both May and Coulson stood up at the same time too I had a strong feeling they were going to try and change the plan. Walking towards one of the hallways I could hear how they followed me, coming to a stop I leaned towards the wall and crossed my arms.
"I will not change my mind." I told the two of them before they even had the chance to say anything. "Skye…" Coulson started to say, and I rolled my eyes. "Daisy." I corrected him, and I could hear how he cursed quietly under his breath. "Daisy, maybe it's better you let Clint do this and you can come with us. Hand would react better if you were with us and Clint has more training when it comes to things like this." Coulson finished of saying and my eyes narrowed in a bit of anger. Opening my mouth to comment on it I remembered that Coulson was still in the dark about one thing and I took a deep breath.
"I will be fine. Besides, I'm trained to do things like this too. Natasha, Maria, Fury and Steve will be there all the way." I told him, only to see that he was not happy over it. "Just be careful. I want to see you before the week in hiding is over." May cut in to say before Coulson had a chance to continue. "The point of us going into hiding is to make sure no one else gets hurt. So, no contact during that week and you know that." I told her, giving her my full attention. I could see that May wasn't happy over any of this. However, she had accepted that there was nothing she could say and do to make me change my mind. "I better hear from you within the week." She warned me as she gave me a hug. "I will, just make sure the rest of the team is safe." I told her, hugging her back.
"I will." Was the only answer I got from her before she released me. Turning my head to the side I could see that Coulson had finally given up and before I knew it he was hugging me, something I did not expect to happen any time soon. "Be careful." He whispered into my ear and I nod my head. "I will." I assured him, and Coulson released me. "I need to take care of a few things, you guys should head out as fast as possible." I told them and the two senior agents, the two people that were the closest thing I had ever had to a mother and father, nodded their heads. They turned around and walked back into the meeting room once more and I took a deep breath.
"I would recommend the Providence once all of this is over." A voice said from behind me and I just rolled my eyes, not surprised that Fury had managed to sneak up on me. "If you say so sir." I answered him, turning around to look at him I could see a small box in his hand and I narrowed my eyes. "Don't even think about it. I do not want to have that thing! That is not what I am." I told him, my eyes narrowed, and my mind set. With that, I walked passed Fury in search for Natasha and Maria.
