May took her time the following morning, getting herself set up and ready, going over a few details in her head that differed from her time in shield, writing out a resume but didn't put all her skills down, only the most importants ones. She wanted to be underestimated for the advantage. May also backed a plastic but incredibly sharp sort of knife, she had enough strength and skill to cause enough harm, either to herself for the way out. The plastic nature made sure it was concealed from metal detectors if the have them and she kept it hidden in her sleeve for a quick draw.

The bruised around her neck she concealed, and the high nature of the collar of her shirt also helped. SHe kept herself doused up to talk, the irritation was beginning to fade from her throat but it's be a few days before it'd go completely while the bruised would take longer. However, if all went to plan, she's be reborn at some point today, either helping the team or by getting out. Rebirth was going to be useful until she could...face Coulson. Death to get away from him… if he lost his head about it again or by her own hand out of panic.

Getting there had been easy, leaving her secured safe house keys to a dropbox since she didn't want to leave them in her jacket if they got left behind. She could see there were a lot of glass windows, good and high too so jumping an option if the glass wasn't bulletproof.

Walking through the security, she let her presence be known before taking a seat, her eyes on her watch then around her, assessing the few of the armed guards, something to keep an eye on no doubt.

"Ms Chen" A voice called. Taking her a fraction of a second to respond as she remembered it was her undercover name.

She turned, putting on her act as she stood up to greet the woman.

"Yes, that's me."

"If you'll follow me we can start your interview. Did you bring your required paperwork?" She asked, leading her through the metal detectors.

"I did." though the papers were quickly taken from her hands.

"Good. We'll start as soon as we get in." Her tone was bossy, her head tilted up a little snootily as well. May could feel herself disliking this woman very quickly.

There was silence as they took a level down from the ground floor, she felt no need to bring up a conversation and the woman also didn't feel the need to as well. It would have been… "unprofessional" in this type of work, she could only assume.

Then the woman led her out of the lift and along the corridor, passing some stars down as well but she didn't have much of a look as she stopped abruptly at a door and walked in so she followed after, stopping in the doorway as she watched the woman walk over to a take with 2 security bosses.

"Please, take a seat while we quickly read through" Said the smaller man of the two, gesturing to the chair in front. May nodded and slid into the offered seat, consciously aware of a older woman in the corner typing as they spoke.

May didn't move though, watching them talk quietly as they pointing out a few things on the paper.

"So, Ms Chan, You spent time in the field as a SHIELD agent?"

"Yes." She spoke, "I was a Supervising offerer to the newest recruits. Training them in hand-to-hand combat and weapons."

This was noted down, watching as one nodded. "How long have you been a SHIELD agent?"

"I was recruited out of Collage into the academy." Close information but she had to stick to some facts, they weren't oblivious to SHIELD's training and the academy now was known for hydra and other third parties. "25 years for a more specific answer."

"Do you still hold any relations to known SHIELD agents?"

"No. When SHIELD collapse My friends were quickly rounded up by hydra or by the US air force if they weren't killed."

"Were you a Sleeper Hydra agent?"

"No, but I am...open to a change of sides." May answered though it was easy to say, she had to sound like she meant it. "No point carrying a badge for something that no longer exists." She added with a shrug.

"Okay." The larger male started. "What made you come to cybertek for a Job?"

This was a question she had expected so she wasn't stumped for an answer. "Many SHIELD operatives quickly took jobs in Stark Injuries and other high industry jobs. I thought that Cybertek would have a less of a swarm of jobs but I've done my research to know you create and deliver high quality technology that could easily fall into the hands of people who don't know what they're doing."

"Interesting answer…" The smaller man said with a deep sigh.

The questions continued for a further 10 minutes before they fell into silence but they were all started by the sounds of an alarm.

"Breach in the science department." Both men stood up, May stood up as well.

"Keep Ms Chen here, we'll get ahead of this." The bigger man called to the woman who had stayed in the room through the interview but as the door closes, May acted fast, knocking the woman and the typewriter woman out and grabbed her keys and dashed out. Taking a left down at the stairs as she saw the two guards run down there first.

May jumped the smaller one and grabbed his radio, hearing another voice come through

'Intruders have barricaded themselves in the hardcopy room, get in there and take them out. Use lethal force if necessary.'

Damn it…

May quickened her step as she ran, punching out another employee as she went. Then she saw a group of armed security guards. From inside the room as she carried on, she heard a loud smash of glass.

She pulled the plastic knife from her sleeve and stabbed it into the arm of the first guard. The Element of surprise giving her the advantage of taking out two before the door to the room was burst open. She pushed through after dropping the now unconscious guard. She pushed though to see Coulson going down a zip line, Simmons just leaping with a iron loop but it was almost for a second seeing it in slow motion as she saw a gun twitch, jumping into movement without thinking before she heard the sudden and loud bang.

The pain flared through her chest at the single shot, her hand coming to her chest, feeling the host flow of warm blood run through her fingers. Breathing was hard but she could feel the blood seeping into her lungs quickly, making her gasp and choke before she hit the ground. Black dots began to spread in her vision but she didn't fight it, the blurred figure above her before she felt another shot of pain before black then the sensation of falling.

May gasped sharply again, suddenly surrounded by cold and water, using her arms to push herself up towards the surface of the water with a gasp for breath. Her heart racing in her chest as she tried to gather her bearing again.

Her head hurt. Gunshot to the head. Quick but painful. She was going to need a couple of aspirins to get rid of the headache but she was successful in her mission. She saved SImmons, Coulson and he were long gone from Cybertek and cybertek were left with her pile of clothes and blood splatter with lots of questions.

Her vision sharpened, treading water before she began to swim back to the lakes edge, obviously secured from the absence of people though she headed straight to the bobbing canister left for her. Making her feel glad now for her mother's input for it.

But she still had work to do and someone to call.

Maria.
