May had managed to get back to the bug but had missed most of it, glad though she had put it to record so she played back, locating to when they had gotten back to the motel then played it on.

Scribbling down a few notes of info that was important. Coulson's voice though, hearing him speak put her on edge, her heart picking up an extra beat. Every time, same effect. Was that the matter with her…

Her mind flickered to Bahrain. The trauma and fear lingered long after that. But Coulson? Yes, he was the cause of another trauma. He killed her. That was the difference between her last death to him killing her. She knew what to expect… to know what was going to happen because she had accepted her situation with death.

But with Coulson, no warning, no expectations or knowing she'd live after. All those piled on top of the brutal method of depth, unable to say her side, the fear that was lingering still. Fear of him that went deeper than conscious thought. How long with it take for her to get over it?

May let out a low sigh, resting her head in her hands, before reaching for her water, her head still aching. The pain meds would kick in soon enough.

Though her head rose as she listened though their plans; more specifically with Skye's directive on her alias.

Of course… May rolled her eyes after a moment. That was going to complicate things. But not impossible. If Skye found nothing then it'd solidify the fact it was an Alias, but she could find a few things…

May picked up her phone, a few ideas coming to mind.

"May, what now?" Maria called through, sounding stressed.

"Bad time?"

"LIttle bit."

"Me too, Coulson's having SKye look into the ALias. He doesn't trust that asset. I got an idea."

"What do you need? Remember, i can't pull a lot of strings."

"Fake files on my Alias and a new face."

"Come again?" She could hear doubt, no doubt on the latter.

"A new face. Natasha still has the nano mask Tech, right?"

"Yeah, but I don't think-"

"I need one, He already has a description of a witness who saw me dig up his grave so I i need a new face to wear, mostly for photo ID."

"That's not gonna be easy, May."

"I know, I can do most of the initial SHIELD files here but I need you to encrypt it and send it out into the data stream of Romanoff's SHIELD dump. Skye can find it then and given the amount of data, it'll take her time to get through it, We have the time."

"Wouldn't it be easier to forgo and confront him, May. He's torn up about your death."

"He murdered me in cold blood, as you know Maria. Out the both of us, I was on the receiving end of it. It affects me deeply, Maria. I'm not… emotionally stable for that. Remember Bahrain…"

It was a bad string to pull but It was necessary to get what she needed… to get her point across too. Maria had seen what Bahrain had done to her and authorised her transfer to Admin.

"Dirty pull, May. Fine, but you can't keep coming to me if you need stuff. I'm not SHIELD any more and It's putting my ass too close to the house fire."

"I know and I really do appreciate it. Once I've sorted out Coulson, I won't call unless I have to."

"Right."

"Maria, I have no one else to go to right now. You and my mother are the only ones that know I haven't kicked the bucket. So I'm making do. I am sorry about that."

Maria let out a deep sigh of aspiration. "I don't have the time to argue or anything. I'll send you a template files, you can fill that out, I'll send you a few faces to chose from for the mask but use the photos for the ID on the file. The mask will take time to get to you… couple of days at the least to a drop spot."

May frowned, She didn't have that time but she'd have to make do until it arrived. "Okay, I can work with that…" She answered. "Thank you."

"Bye, text me when you have the mask." Maria answered before the line died.

May dropped the phone off with a deep sigh. She did understand Maria complicated position but she was of higher power out of everyone at the moment. But May knew she couldn't rely on Maria for everything. That was fine and she knew she couldn't pull the Bahrain trauma or her death again. It wasn't a good thing to use and May didn't plan to bring it up again.

Her phone beeped, peering to the screen as she saw it was the files, sending them quickly to her laptop then began to look through the few faces for the ID photos.

All the faces were of asian ethnicity and no doubt keeping to her own appearance from the description from the witness. May had planned to use a white woman's face to aid the deception with the name, specifically the last name. Rice. Skye had been quick to figure out the Alias with the description given. But she had to adjust to the change of things.

There were 3 pictures in total, their ages were hard to pinpoint but that wasn't an issue. May could see some of the features were very similar to hers… head shape, forehead… even her eyes. Computer altered for be unique. May knew her reflection well enough. Two looked more related to her than the last. Coulson would spot those similarities or ponder on it for a while.

But the last that had less faction features, that was promising. The eyes here slightly larger still held the same shape, the shade of eye colour was darker, her lip were subtly fuller though slimmer jaw line that contrasted well. It was what May had wanted; a new face. Unique.

May dragged that image to the ID box, then began to fill through the files. Skye as right that the name would work as an alias so she could use that, Use another name.

She put the name she had given Cybertek; Emily Chen. She doubted Cyber tek could be bothered to dig into looking about her file. She was dead to them after all too. The new face looked younger too so she changed the birthdates to what she felt was appropriate.

Given her times in Admissions.. That was definitely paying off now, typing fast, filling out reports and making them intertwin with missions she knew and read about. Even with her own missions as Melinda May, making sure to intertwin them so there was a connection.

Emily Chen should know Melinda May on paper too so it wouldn't look too suspicious to how she knew so much about 'May's' missions after all, giving her a level 7 clearance but a note of transfer to a different base to reason to why she hadn't been seen about.

It took 10 minutes to finish, reading through it and correcting any mistakes before sending it back to Maria to deal with. But it was a weight off her shoulders that it would spare her time and keep Coulson's trust in the alias. He was still busy.

Coulson had been going through more of the files when Trip jogged into the room. His head darting up. "We got a lead?"

Trip nodded, "Cybertek shipments. Originating from different counties but end up in Havana, Cuba."

"We used to have a SHIELD base there…" Coulson answered, perking up and jumped off the bed. "Good work, Trip. Can you get the plane ready?"

Trip nodded. "Yes. SImmons finished the inventory on what we have, we should have enough."

"There might be a computer there too. Skye should be able to take over their systems once it's in."

"Let's hope, Sir." Trip nodded. "Skye's still on her computer, SImmons has joined Fitz, though Not sure what they're doing now."

"Probably at the plane, getting it ready. We should go meet them." He tossed the files into the cabinet then headed past him. "Let's go."
