"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the birthing suit. I am here today to introduce you to the newest addition to the team of this bus."
Jemma and Fitz had confused looks on their faces. We were in the lab, where I had said I was going to be unveiling a surprise.
Sitting on the main table was a figure about 50 centimetres tall, covered in cloth. Fitz would love this.
"This is," I whipped of the cloth, revealing a small monkey. "The Chimpanzee Humanly Integrated for the Monitoring of Phenomena, or C.H.I.M.P. for short. He's a little something I build for help in the lab and to satisfy Leo's desire for a monkey. C.H.I.M.P. runs on a rather simple AI based on Tony Stark's personal butler and is equipped with almost every radiation, chemical and biometric scanner known to science. What do you think?"
Jemma and Leo just stood there with gaping mouths and wide eyes. I snapped a picture on my Stark phone and sent it to Dad with the caption 'I think I broke them."

"Wait, let me get this straight. You actually dumbfounded two of S.H.I.E.L.D's brightest scientists with a monkey?" Coulson asked me in disbelief.
I leant back into the office chair. "Yup. And it's a Chimpanzee, not a monkey."
We were in Coulson's 'conference room', as it was officially named. Everyone just called it an office. Phil shook his head.
"I really shouldn't be surprised. Don't you have more doctorates than your Father did at your age?"
"We try not to let that get out. You know, 'Family's safety first' and all that. But dad is kinda jealous. He's 46 this year, isn't he supposed to be more grown up?"
"You would think. Anyway, you what do plan to do about Ward? I can already tell that he doesn't approve of you being here without any known training or records."
I had already thought about this for a bit. If he was one of those stuck-up types, then this whole team could fall apart. I didn't want my first legitimate 'assignment' to go to the dumps because someone refused to understand that they weren't told everything.
Ward didn't seem that extreme, luckily.
"As long as he doesn't start accusing me of anything serious, I'll be fine. And if it comes to a fight, he'll get his ass whopped."

"So how does C.H.I.M.P. work exactly?" Leo asked me.
"Well like I said earlier, C.H.I.M.P. runs on an A.I. He's equipped with basic structure recognition software and is perfectly capable of movement so we can direct him to any anomalies out in the field. Once reaching the target, he will proceed to perform a full scan on it unless instructed to specifics. Anything else?"
"Uh, yeah. How did you build this from scratch with no prototype or previous model designs in under six hours?!"
"Well..." I scratched the back of my head. "I may of just finished off the final project today and hacked Tony Stark then recoded a small part of his A.I. to recognise and process the relevant data."
"So now your telling me that you also successfully hacked possibly the smartest person in the world, stole one of his most highly protected and hard to get creations then rebuilt it to act as a MONKEY?" Fitz was yelling so much that it was a wonder that we were still in the air.
"Pretty much." I casually replied, as if it was no big deal.
Leo Fitz did a total fanboy and fainted.

"Jemma, he's waking up."
After Fitz collapsed, I called Simmons and we moved him onto a table. Jemma is the official medic on the team- I, with my various PhDs, would only help when needed.
"Wakey Wakey Fitz." I said. "Congratulations, we haven't even got to the mission site yet and you've already been unconscious." Admittedly, it was for less than two minutes, but it still counted.
"Speaking of that, Coulson wants me to get a lock on the Extremis signature before we get there. See ya!" I exited the room to go to my pod and left Fitz in the undoubtably capable and skilled hands of Jemma Simmons... He he, get it?
It wasn't that hard to locate where the Extremis soldiers where. Through my laptop I had J.A.R.V.I.S. use the same program that dad used to find Killians's experiments from a few years ago. He pulled them up on a map with their location and distance from my current position.
The scary thing was that there were three signatures on the map. Even further worrying was that by the looks of it, one was going to explode any minute.
And the Bus was going to land right next to it.

I dashed to the cockpit as fast as I could.
This was serious. As much as I wanted to get down there and help save the guy -who was most likely a test subject- and all the people who would be injured in the blast, it was to risky.
As cruel as it sounded, it was better to let these people die, stop the other two experiments and capture the organisation behind all this.
"May!"
"Not now rookie, I'm trying to land a plane."
"Don't! Listen, I've located an Extremis signature right by the airstrip, and based on recent thermal readings, it's going to explode within-" I checked my watch. "Six minutes. We need to get everyone evacuated and out of the immediate area before then or a lot of lives are going to be lost."
Even by S.H.I.E.L.D. standards, May didn't hesitate long.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. Airbase, this is S.H.I.E.L.D. Globemaster 6-1-6. We have received information of a bomb threat to the building and all inhabitants in the vicinity. I repeat, a bomb treat has been reported in your area. Immediate evacuation is required."
Less then thirty second later, the Airbase had relayed the message over the intercom and S.H.I.E.L.D. staff had begun pouring out onto the grass. They were safe.

No one had been injured in the explosion- except the Extremis Soldier, of course.
The team and I entered the building. We were the only people allowed in. Coulson's security clearance had made sure of that.
Fitz was, one again, muttering under his breath. "Never realised- D.W.A.R.F.s just finished- bloody monkey- had to be out done- damn useless.
"Fitz," Jemma said gently. "Just because C.H.I.M.P. is more equipped than the D.W.A.R.F.s doesn't mean that they are redundant. The drones are more mobile, plus they're modular. They can do things that C.H.I.M.P. can't. Stop complaining and look on the bright side of things."
That seemed to cheer him up. We both set up our equipment and they started scanning the area for evidence and information on the soldier. I walked over to Jemma.
"That was a nice thing you did there. Not many people can cheer people up so easily. What do you say, Jems?" I waggled my eyebrows suggestively. "Got anything to say to me?"
She blushed and turned around, but not before I saw how coloured her face was. Mission Success.

"Okay, so, with some motion estimation, Bayesian interference, a beam splitter and a little bit of diffraction theory we can holographically recreate the scene from the room before the explosion." Fitz was explaining to Ward, May and Coulson.
"Don't forget to cross match the surveillance cameras with S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite images then factor the data from C.H.I.M.P. and the D.W.A. ." I added.
"Yes, yes." Leo flapped his hand at me, still geeking out over all the information our scanners detected. Seeing how this was the first field test for both our creations and we hadn't ironed out any errors in the programming, they had performed quite well.
"And... Done!" We now stood inside a virtual reproduction of the room. The detail was rather good for prototype software, which Fitz and I were quite proud of.
"That thing on his arm... What is it?" Coulson asked.
"It seems to be a series of injectors for the Extremis serum..." Simmons explained. "But there is more then the usual amount. Could they be attempting to combine Extremis with a recreated super soldier serum?"
"It's a possibility. FitzSimmons, get back to the room. Make a second sweep and see if there is any leftover DNA. Skye, get online and see if you can find where they could of gotten information on the super soldier serum from."
"Yes sir." Jemma and Leo said.
"Fitz, take C.H.I.M.P. as well." I suggested. "He might be able to find any biological matter you guys miss."
I turned and walked out of the room. If people were meddling with products like Extremis and Dr. Erskine's formula, things could get messy. There was only one person who I could think of that would be able to predict the affects of this.
And for once, it wasn't my dad.
I had to make a call to Maya Hansen.
AN: Terribly sorry for the cliffhanger and mistakes I've missed. This is the longest chapter that I have written at about 1.6 thousand words. Thank you for all favourites, follows and reviews. PM me if you have any questions.
