Both Hill and Coulson are sitting at computer stations typing up reports. Agent starts off in her lap, but the kitten soon starts trying to climb up the front of Hill's uniform, so he is handed off to Coulson. After a few minutes of getting his claws stuck in Coulson's tie, the kitten is moved to the top of Hill's head. As soon as Agent picks apart Hill's bun, he is set on the floor and has his belly rubbed, then is swiftly ignored.
Agent really dislikes this. He's so tiny and this helicarrier is so big and he's still afraid of other people's shoes. He just wants his mama to scratch his chin with her smooth fingernails and his daddy to rub his whole back with his big hands. Agent attempts climbing up both of his parents' legs before his little claws give out and he plops back in the floor. He mews a few times only to be shushed, and makes a decision. If his parents aren't going to pay attention to him, he's going on another adventure.
On his last adventure, he found a white and yellow fuzzy thing that squawked at him and tried to bite his eyes off, and then he found a very large boot and took a nap in it. Agent is hopeful to find that boot again.
He almost crawls out of the computer lab, trying to be stealthy. Once he is in the hall, he breaks into a sprint and looks for that boot. A couple of agents pass him by without noticing him, and one opens a door on Agent's left, but the room smells weird so Agent moves on. Eventually he picks up the smell of fruit and heads that way, right into the lab.
Agent stares up at the two big men and then proceeds to tangled himself in the smaller one's shoelaces. Perhaps this shoe knows where the boot is. This shoe might take him there if Agent is "persuasive" enough. After a few minutes of interrogation, Agent is finally noticed and picked up.
Agent uses his tiny claws to cling to the big man for dear life and growls because he hates being picked up like this. He prefers being cradled with two hands, not held up by his scruff. He sinks his claws into the man's hand harder, hoping he will let go or get the message. The other man comes over and holds Agent the way he likes, which calms Agent down. The two men begin talking over Agent, but Agent isn't paying attention. All this exploring and interrogation and defensive measures has tuckered him out and if this man is going to hold still long enough, Agent is taking nap.
When Agent wakes up, he's in someone's room. It isn't one of his parents' because it smells like stranger, but also familiar, and this room's decoration looks like his daddy's. Agent looks up and sees another big man, this time bigger too, hovering over him with a smile on his face. The red and blue man coos at Agent and rubs his tummy awkwardly, but Agent doesn't care. At least no one is holding him the wrong way or ignoring him.
The red and blue man picks up Agent and settles the tiny operative on his shoulder and walks to the kitchen. Agent knows this is the kitchen for sure. He's had many a bowl of milk and nibbles of tuna in here. Red and blue man sets Agent down on the table and half disappears into the shiny food box and Agent goes to check all the shiny tools on the table because mama never lets him up here.
As Agent loses himself in a one and one match with the round shiny stick, the biggest man walks into the room and rumbles. Immediately Agent tries to run off the table. Training and experience has taught Agent to assess and then attack and that's his plan. But biggest man grabs Agent with two fingers and hauls the kitten up far too high for his liking. Biggest man grins and puts Agent right back down before talking to red and blue man. Agent decides to hang back behind the large round thing and wait for a plan of action to come to him.
Right when Agent finally devises his plan of attack, a familiar face enters the room. It's redhead lady; he wants to call her auntie, but he's not sure how mama would feel about it. Anyways, redhead lady spots him immediately and Agent runs to her babbling his plan of attack because redhead lady will totally have his back in this fight. But redhead lady just smiles and picks up Agent the way he likes and carries him out of the rooms while biggest man and red and blue man follow her out rumbling loudly.
Sleeveless man, or uncle, Agent hasn't decided, sees them from across the hall and follows the group. Big man and bigger man see the crowd and follow too. Agent starts to get excited. Is he getting a medal of honor? Is he getting a higher rank like his parents? But then Agent recognizes the hallway. He's near the agent computer lab. Oh. Redhead lady is taking him back to his parents. He must be getting the medal tomorrow.
The group walks Agent into the computer lab, and his parents turn and catch sight of him and look shocked. Maybe wandering off hadn't been the best idea. He doesn't like their looks. But mama just grabs him from redhead lady and snaps something at the people. They all leave, red and blue man last with a wave, and Agent is alone with his parents. Mama rolls her eyes and daddy just pats him on the head, and then the two of him work on scratching him behind the ears and rubbing his tummy until Agent drifts off.
The next day, one eyed man carries Agent around all day. Agent likes this. One eyed man likes to sit down in a swivel chair and pet Agent, and when anyone enters the room, one eyed man turns dramatically and both he and Agent stare them down.
Only top agents get to spend this much time with the one eyed man. Agent is on top of the world.
