A/N: To answer your questions Pornoy SP (and for any other people wondering how the hell Ward survived the plane crash...) the plane was on the ground when he was thrown from it and he used his 'special skills' to slow himself down (without realising it of course)!

It was eight weeks before the 'bus was ready to fly again. In those weeks the team had been busy trying to find out what had happened to their plane. They had looked over weeks of satellite footage and, as of yet had no answers. They were back in the 'bus and were flying to the latest catastrophe. A mine had collapsed in Malaysia. They suspected the electro-pulse they had seen at every scene would be present there as well. They were an three hours out and Skye was studying the satellite image of the incident.

"Woah, Skye go back." Ward told her. He had noticed something on the satellite image that recalled a distant memory. "Can you zoom in on that?" He asked her.

"What have you seen?"

"A flash, a memory"

"You're not making any sense." She told him as she zoomed in on the spot where he told her to.

"Now go back 30 seconds." She did as he asked.

The bright orange flash was more pronounced than ever.

"I saw an orange flash when Simmons helped me out of the pyramid" He explained. "I didn't think much of it, 'cause I wasn't exactly with it, but could it be linked?"

They spent the rest of the flight pulling satellite footage they had already seen a million times to look for this new lead. They found an orange flash at every single one of the scenes. Ward starting pinpointing the locations of the flashes and their corresponding destruction.

"We seem to be dealing with a long range weapon" he noted as he placed the final pin,

"You two have been busy!" Coulson commented as he came into the Lab to tell the pair to buckle up for landing.

"We've identified signature and pinpointed the origin of each attack." Skye told him.

"Yeah, it's not good".

"Tell me when we land."

The team congregated in the Lab to hear what Ward and Skye had come up with. They found no flaw in this explanation, except it did not identify the weapon used, or who had used it. Then Coulson remembered something else about the first attack.

"What if, those rebels weren't rebels?" he asked the group.

"Buyers?"

"Could be. They could have used the plane crash to test it out before buying it."

"But why turn up at the pyramid?"

"To collect."

"I saw that flash inside the pyramid. That secret door would be the perfect place to hide something, especially if people don't know what they are looking for."

"We still don't"

"We better go and look at this mine. See if we can get any more clues. Ward, Skye, stay here and keep working on this. See what you can come up with."

"I think I've got something" Skye said a couple of hours later.

"What?" asked Ward. He'd hit multiple dead ends.

"Now we know the locations that the device was set off, I cross referenced dates with passport control. This guy" She turned the computer to show him "was stamped through immigration control days before each attack, leaving hours after."

"Could be a coincidence."

"Every single country Ward."

"Look into his background, you know the drill. Where he lives, financials.."

"..arrest records, known associates, education history, parents names and places of birth?" She finished.

"You got it!"

By the time the team had got back they had a partial profile of their suspect.

"Good work guy's" Coulson said to them, a little shocked they had managed so much in so little time. "How do we find him?"

"That we don't know."

"Seems there are only select few who know where this guy lives and they would die protecting that."

"He isn't registered as living in any country, although he has a South African passport, he doesn't appear on electoral roles, council property registers, nothing."

"He certainly knows how to hide. I should leave you two alone to work more often!"

Skye and Ward looked at each other before turning back to Coulson.

"We managed to track where one of his bodyguard's hangs out." They said together.
