Skye had just arrived in her Van at the Airfield holding "The Bus", she parked her Van just outside. Skye had just finished unloading stuff when Naruto walked out, seeing her with all her stuff

'Might as well ask if she needs any help' he thought before walking up to Skye

Skye watched Naruto walk up, "Need any help with your bags?" he asked

Skye smiled before nodding, "Sure." before he picked her bags up as she carried her box of equipment

As they walked away a Man walking towards her Van caught her attention, "No Joyriding ok, that's my home." Skye called out with the man just saying, 'Yeah, no worries'. before putting a black triangle-looking device on the hood of her van, soon the engine started up before Skye turned around.

Skye and Naruto continued up the ramp, "Congratulations on becoming a consultant of S.H.I.E.L.D." Naruto says with a smile causing Skye to blush.

"Thanks." was all the embarrassed woman could say

As they continue to walk up the ramp they are met by Fitz and Simmons exiting the lab, "Oh joy, Agent Coulson told us the news. What a fabulous surprise. Now isn't it Fitz?" Simmons said with enthusiasm

"Yeah." Fitz said sounding dead inside, getting an elbow in the stomach in return from Simons

"It really is wonderful." Simmons reassures her

"Yeah, it's also a surprise." Fitz says recovering from the elbow to the stomach

"You must be very excited, Skye." Simmons says

Skye smiles and looks around, "Yea, kinda like my first day of school all over again." before handing her equipment off to Fitz.

After a second of awkward silence, Fitz and Simmons excuse themselves before heading up the stairs to the second level, soon followed by Naruto and Skye.

As they are walking to the bunks Fitz decides to make conversation by explaining what the hell they are in, "Officially this is a mobile command station, they were in heavy rotation back in the 1980s to 90s before they were replaced by what we now know as helicarriers. But we call it the bus, the name is better to use in the field as it is shorthand."

"Yea I know, I have been up here before, just didn't see much because of the BAG that Agent Ward put over my head." Skye said emphasizing 'bag' as they passed by Coulson, Ward, and May in the main command center.

"Yeah sorry about all of that." Simmons said in a sheepish attempt to apologize for her fellow Agents' actions against their newest team member.

"Wheels up in two, lock it or lose it people." May said over the intercom

Naruto and Skye continued on their way before finally reaching the bunks, "Pick a bunk and put your stuff down." Naruto told her

Skye looked at all the bunks before looking at Naruto, "Which bunk is yours?"

Naruto pointed to the middle one before Skye walked into the one to the left of it and put her stuff down, after walking back to Naruto who raised his eyebrow, "Any reason you picked the one right next to mine?"

Skye got a shy look on her face, "Because you make me feel safe."

Naruto smiled at this before bringing Skye into a hug which she gladly returned, "You remind me of my daughter Rose. Smart, Fierce, but always around those that make yourself feel safe."

After a few seconds of hugging Naruto tries to gentle remove her but finds that she is persistently holding on, "Skye you can let go now."

Skye immediately let's go before blushing, "Sorry it's just you have such a welcoming and warm aura about you that I didn't want to let go."

Naruto waves her off, "It's fine I get that a lot from my wife, and kids."

A few seconds later Ward walks up to Skye and hands her a pamphlet, "Read it, this plane isn't like others." he says before walking off but not before bumping shoulders with Naruto.

"Son, you better watch it before I knock your teeth in." Naruto said with a frown

Ward turns around, "Don't call me son you don't know me, and your just as old as me."

Naruto laughs, "Boy, I look a lot younger than I really am. Realistically speaking I am probably old enough to be your father."

Ward frowned, "Don't call me that either." he said before walking off.

Skye looked between Naruto and where Ward just exited, "What does he have against you?"

Naruto shrugged his shoulders, "Probably still salty about how I tossed him like a ragdoll into a wall and knocked him out."

Agent Coulson walked up, "Everything alright between you and Agent Ward, Maelstrom?"

Naruto nodded, "I have no problem with Ward aside from his disobedience last mission which I have since gotten over. He is probably still mad about being tossed like a ragdoll and knocked out."

"Sweet ride by the way Coulson." Skye commented

"Thanks, I got it when I got hit right before the Battle of New York." Coulson replied

"Wait you took a bullet?" Skye asked shocked

"Kinda but not really, it was more like a Chitari scepter being rammed into my heart by an Asgardian. Although the effect was eerie similar. I got a few weeks off and this plane. I had it completely refurbished. Studs up and no spared expense." Coulson explained

"TAHITI must have been great." Naruto commented with a smile

Coulson smiled back, "It's a magical place."

Naruto, Coulson, and Skye felt the bus starting to move

Coulson sat down, "We should probably buckle up." prompting the other 2 to sit down

Skye looked to Coulson, "Where are we even going." she asked

"Peru. That's where the 0-8-4 was reported." Coulson replied

"And an 0-8-4 is what exactly?" Skye asked

"An object or person of unknown origin." Naruto answered

"What happens with an 0-8-4?" Skye asked

"A team goes in, determines whether or not it's useful or a threat. The last 0-8-4 we encountered was pretty damn interesting." Coulson answered

Skye opened a bottle of water that she had just grabbed and took a sip, "And what was the last one?" she asked

"A hammer." Coulson stated


(A few hours later)

They had landed and now were on their way to the temple/ruins that held the 0-8-4. Upon getting there the cars stopped before everyone got out.

"I spotted tired tracks 40 meters back, I'm going to check them against the site's trucks. Make sure we are the only ones here." Ward announced

May opened her door and looked around, "Too much exposer around here, I'm gonna find a place to park the SUV." before she got back in and drove away.

Fitz and Simmons walked together hearing Animal chatter, "I would so love to see a capuchin out here in the wild. Maybe even a yellow-tailed woolly monkey." Fitz said , "You know, Peru has 32 different species of monkey."

"Yea, they also have close to 200 different species of snakes. The shushpe has a fascinating venom." Simmons responded, "It's Neurotoxic, Proteolytic, and Hemolytic." she added before letting out a chuckle

"That sure is fascinating." Fitz responded back

Soon they were at the entrance to the temple

(With Skye, Naruto, and Coulson)

They were just out of earshot of Simmons and Fitz, "If the 0-8-4 is potentially that dangerous. They are already dealing with Anti-mining rebels and the local terrorist group known as 'The Shining Path Guerillas'. I could post something." Skye offered

Coulson shook his head, "You remember the panic from when that Anti-Matter meteor splashed down just off the coast of Miami, the one that nearly devoured the city?"

Skye shook her head, "No."

Coulson turned back towards her, "Precisely. Because we kept it all quiet and contained."

Skye looked confused, "So what am I doing here?"

"Well if stuff does get out I might need you to create something to throw them off the trail." Coulson answered

"So basically everything that I am against." Skye said flatly

"Yep." was all Coulson said before continuing on followed by Naruto

Coulson was soon met by the on-site professor, "Good Morning to you professor. I am Agent Coulson with S.H.I.E.L.D., I understand you have made quite an interesting discovery."

The professor sighed, "I am not sure how to explain it exactly. The temple dates back at least 500 or so years. It is filled with pre-Incan artifacts. One of them is impossible to be an artifact looks dangerous even."

"Well, that is why we are here." Coulson said motioning for him to lead the way. The professor made his way in followed shortly by Naruto, Fitz, Simmons, Coulson, and Skye

As soon as Naruto got into the room he immediately sensed an eerie familiar energy he was all too familiar with…Tesseract, it wasn't exactly Tesseract but it was very very similar.

"Exactly as we found it." the professor said as both he and Coulson walked closer to it

Coulson looked at it, "Who else knows about this?"

"Just the ministry." the professor responded, "I believe that they are the ones that contacted you." he added

"Sir, I am going to need you and your team to evacuate the site. Until we determine the risk of this device." Coulson instructed all the while Fitz-Simmons were getting all of their equipment ready to examine the 0-8-4

One of Fitz's drones flew up to the professor, "Fitz leave the man alone." Simmons said before the drone moved on to the 0-8-4

Coulson looked back at the professor, "Now please, it's for your own safety." before ushering the professor out.

"There is nothing about this anywhere. It's quite amazing. I searched every data stream." Skye said as she looked up from her phone slowly moving towards the 0-8-4.

Just as she was about to touch it Fitz spoke up, "Whoa, Careful, I wouldn't do that."

"The object's placement in fossiliferous rock formations suggests it's been here for at least 1,500 years. That pre-dates this temple by a millennium. Ah my god! Maybe it's alien." Simmons explained

"Yeah, but by the shape and craftsmanship, it's almost german like."


(A few minutes later)

Naruto looked up to Coulson, "We've got company outside, might want to check it out." he said second before Ward called him over the radio.

"Sir, we have a situation." Ward called

Skye looked to Coulson and Naruto, "There are lots of rebels in this area."

"And not enough gunfire." Coulson added

"Keep working." he said before bringing his radio up, "I am on my way." he said before looking to Naruto

"You stay here, cover them in case things get ugly." Coulson said getting a nod from Naruto before he exited the temple entrance


(A few minutes later)

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing? It's like it's alive." Fitz said

This caught Skye's attention, "What do you mean like alive alive?"

"It has a functioning power source." Fitz stated

"Sleepy is reading radionuclides, but none of them match and known isotopes on record." Simmons added

"I get temporal matches, but even than, it seems like they shift. How is that even possible?" Fitz added on

Skye felt out of place, "I'm going to go and check on Coulson."

Just then Coulson walked in, "We have got company, National Police."

Fitz and Simmons looked confused, "Why are they here?"

"They heard about this object. And they are probably here to protect it. The area around here has lots of rebel uprising." Ward said walking in towards the 0-8-4

"Yeah, people are fighting back against the government's mining policies. It's actually pretty kick-ass." Skye said defensively causing Ward to turn to her.

"Yeah, it's kick-ass, all that violence." Ward countered

"You know that's not what I mean." Skye said countering him

"No, your right, it's what you're typing. In your van, all alone, where it's safe." Ward said angrily

"Ward, back off." Naruto said with a frown

"You know it's true. Maelstrom." Ward said staring at Naruto, "Anyways, How much longer?" he asked

"What's the hurry? We aren't in any kind of danger are we?" Simmons asked

"Not if everyone does their job correctly." Ward said


(A few minutes later)

Naruto was chilling in the corner with his eyes closed and arms crossed, suddenly there were explosions heard outside, Naruto moved towards the entrance.

"Fitz, Simmons wrap it up please, we are going to need to leave soon." Naruto said as he reached the entrance to the temple

Fitz began calling his drones back to their storage case, Skye moved in to try and help.

"Skye please just let us do our thing." Simmons said before Skye backed off

"We need a containment case for the 0-8-4." Fitz said before Ward moved towards the 0-8-4, preparing to pull it out

"There is no time." Ward said as he reached for the 0-8-4

"But it has a fluctuating power core inside. You could cause the whole thing to go off." Fitz warned

"Sorry, but we need to move." Ward said before he grabbed the 0-8-4 pulling it out of the wall before walking over to a spare bag they had putting it in it.

"What do you think your doing!? What is the matter with you? Do you realize we do not know the amount of photon emissions coming off of this thing." Fitz said panicing

Ward finished putting it in the bag before shoving it into Fitz, "Carry it."

"We don't even know what will happen if this thing gets too excited." Fitz pleaded

"Just stay close." Ward instructed

Just then another explosion shook the temple, "Fitz, come on." Simmons called out


(Outside the temple)

Everyone had just exited the temple entrance, and there was gunfire everywhere. As soon as they exited the temple they were being fired upon. Everyone minus Naruto and Ward froze when they saw the guns trained on them. The gunners fired and everyone closed their eyes and waited for the feeling of pain. After waiting a few seconds and hearing the gunfire stop they opened their eyes. Only to be shocked by the sight of Naruto with his hand extended in front of him, bullets suspended mid-air.

Naruto didn't even look back, "Is anyone hurt?"

Skye was the only one to speak up, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?"

Naruto sighed, "I'll take that as everyone is fine." before he dropped his hand and all of the bullets dropped to the ground

Coulson and Camilla were hidden in some foliage not too far away from where his team was. Camilla's mouth was wide open at the sight in front of her. Coulson saw the position that his team was in.

"Maelstrom, crumble em." Coulson called out

Naruto grinned before thrusting his hand out in front of him extending his magnetic reach grabbing onto the rebels weapons before yanking his hand back pulling the weapons from the hands of the rebels towards him leaving them to float around him. Then Naruto clenched his hand into a fist and everyone watched as the weapons crumbled into balls of useful metal, dropping to his feet. After that May drove up in the SUV.

"GET IN NOW!" Naruto called out as he opened a door for Fitz, Simmons, and Skye to get in before getting in himself as everyone else got in before May hit the gas and they sped off.

Ward looked back and saw the truck behind them with Coulson and Camilla, "Coulson is secure in PMP's truck. Take the south route to the airfield."

"Okay." May replied before turning down the path to get to the airfield

Ward turned around to face Naruto, "Maelstrom, What the fuck was that back there?" he asked his face demanding answers.

Naruto frowned, "Ward, I don't have to tell you shit. Everyone has their secrets."

"Can you slow down?" Fitz asked before Skye gave him am 'are you serious' look

"You're joking around right?" Skye asked skeptically

"Listen we have to be careful. There is a binding energy structure that could overheat and blow us all up." Fitz informed them

"I'll row down a window." Simmons said before going to roll down the window only to be stopped by Naruto

"NO." Naruto stated just before a bullet hit the window, "Just stay quiet and keep your fucking heads down for God's sake."

"Head left. The ravine empties." Ward informed May before she turned, afterward she hit the LCD screen in the SUV and opened the cargo ramp to the Bus.

Ward turned to May, "How fast can you get wheels up and away?"

"Fast." May simply stated as they pulled up to the Bus

The cargo door was down so May just drove right up. Ward and May got out at the same time, "Ramp." was all that May said before Ward headed over to close the cargo ramp.

"Ward don't you dare. Coulson is still out there." Naruto commanded as he got out followed by everyone else

"Everyone get off the ramp. You're in the line of fire. I'll cover you." Naruto ordered

Camilla's truck stopped before her men hopped out of the back providing cover fire for the Coulson, his Commander, and his comrades.

Soon everyone was inside and Naruto hit the switch, raising the cargo ramp, "Cutting it pretty close Coulson."

Coulson smiled, "I didn't want to leave behind if I could help it."

Skye was catching her breath, "I can comfortably say that I miss my van now."

Ward turned to Fitz, "So what exactly was the problem before?"

Fitz looked to Ward out of it, "As I said before, this device has a high-frequency, fluctuating, sub-material compression-."

"Damn it, Fitz, in English." Ward said out of patience

"This thing has Tesseract-like Tech inside it. Probably what its power source is." Naruto said causing Fitz, Simmons, Skye, and Ward to look at him funny

"And how exactly do you know it's not exactly Tesseract Tech?" Fitz and Simmons both asked

"I can sense the energy signature within, I have come across the Tesseract before and know its energy signature. That thing has a signature that is eerie familiar to the Tesseract but not exactly." Naruto explained causing everyone to give him weird looks

Naruto sighed, "Everything living has a unique energy signature. Whether it be a baby, person, animal, anything living it has a unique energy signature. I have the ability to pick up, recognize and differentiate between those energy signatures." he explained

"Agent Maelstrom, what exactly are you? First, you manhandle me like I'm some toddler. Then you freeze those bullets in place, then you pull those guns and crumble them into metal balls all without touching them." Ward asked

"I am not entitled to answer that. Be lucky that I explained how I was able to tell that was close to tesseract tech." Naruto said, "Now let's get this thing into a secure container." he added before Fitz picked it up and brought it into the lab followed by Naruto, Simmons, Ward, and Skye.

Naruto grabbed a stool from one of the tables before going to a corner of the lab and meditating while the rest of the team did their thing.


(Bus Cockpit)

"And the 0-8-4 is in your possession Agent Coulson?" H.Q. asked over the comm

"It is in fact on board, and contains a Tesseract Fuel Cell, so there is that." Coulson responded

"Copy that. You are to go for check-in guidance through restricted airspace. We wish you safe travels." H.Q. responded back before putting the Mic back

"Top speed is a priority May." Coulson said, "I am sorry about today. I know you didn't want to see combat."

There was a moment of silence before Coulson decided to speak up again, "Do you need anything else before I go check on the device fueled by evil that is sitting in our cargo hold?"

"Yeah I do, what the hell was that back there with Maelstrom?" May asked

"You remember the portal that let the Chitari invade earth right?" Coulson asked getting a nod from May

"Maelstrom was the Supervising Avenger that took care of the portal, he was the one that broke thru the barrier of pure energy to grab the cube and shut the portal before sending his nuke thru to finish them off." Coulson explained before walking off leaving a stunned May to pilot the ship.


(Bus - Lab)

"Not to worry. The device is as stable as can be. Well not that it couldn't just explode any minute. Especially if hit with Machine-gun fire. But things like this do happen from time to time when I the field, and at first, yes it is very unpleasant, and you regret your decision to leave the lab at all." Simmons explained to Skye trying to keep herself from freaking out

"Are you mental? I did explain to you in great detail exactly what I meant, using the queen's bloody English!" Fitz berated Ward

"I use this thing called Normal English. You know words like 'Duck', 'Run', and 'Might blow us to pieces'." Ward countered

Naruto was in the corner of the room sitting cross-legged with his fists pressed together on a stool.

"Oh. WOW! Congratulation, Agent Ward you actually managed to string 3 different words together into a sentence." Fitz mocked

Coulson finally made it to the stair, coming down to the second level, "Is everyone alright?" he asked checking on Camilla's men

"A little banged up but alive nonetheless." One of the men said as they put their gun in a box, "Thank you for the extraction by the way."

Coulson then closed the box, before putting in a code and locking it.

"But we lost a lot of men today as well." Camilla said

Coulson looked up to her, "We'll make sure the rest of you get home safe and sound."

"Are we really safe? With that thing on this plane with us?" Camilla asked

"There is a PMP Airfield in Iquitos. It's a short distance from-." Camilla said trying to convince Coulson to stop somewhere still within her jurisdiction only to be interrupted by Coulson

"We will burn as fast as we can for a S.H.I.E.L.D. Containment Facility. There is no safer place for us to go." Coulson informed Camilla

"Sir, If I may? You got anything to drink on this plane?" One of Camillas men asked

"Yea, there's a bar upstairs which has some drinks. You should find it quite comfortable up there." Coulson answered before all of Camilla's men got up and headed for the stairs

"I hope you know I expect a grand tour." Camilla told Coulson

Coulson smiled, "I know you do." before turning and entering the bus's Lab only to be met by yelling between Fitz and Ward

"Maelstrom, what's the problem in here?" Coulson asked

Naruto finally stood up from his stool and opened his eyes, "Ward has a stick up his ass because Skye, Simmons, and Fitz aren't exactly 'Combat' ready."

After hearing this Ward got all up in Naruto's face, "Just because you knocked me out once doesn't mean that you can talk about me like that."

Naruto frowned, "Son, I suggest you step back and get the fuck out of my face before I show you once again where on the food chain you stand."

Coulson could see that Naruto and Ward were about to come to blows so he decided to defuse the situation before it got out of hand, "Maelstrom, you can leave now. I got it from here." getting a nod from Naruto before he started to walkout

"If any of you minus Ward need me I will be in my bunk." Naruto said before continuing to the stairs, and up them to get to the second level towards his bunk leaving Coulson to reprimand them.


(Later that night – Naruto's Bunk)

Naruto was meditating in his bunk when Skye decides to peak over the wall separating their Bunks, "Can I help you Skye?" he said without opening his eyes or moving

"What was that back there at the temple?" Skye asked

Naruto sighed, "I don't exactly trust you or anyone on this team enough to tell you exactly as we just met and I don't tell me secrets to just anyone." causing Skye to frown

"And how exactly do I earn your trust?" Skye asked

"There really isn't anything specific that you can do to get me to trust you. It's more of a thing that you earn over time." Naruto explained before he was broken out of his meditation by the sound of fighting further up the plane.

Naruto grumbled, "Ward just can't keep his emotions, temper, or really keep to himself at all can he." before getting up from his bunk only to hear Skye gasp

Going into full combat mode Naruto opened the door to his bunk, only to see one of Camilla's men pointing a gun at him. Naruto frowned before quickly disarming the man before stepping out only to be greeted by another one of Camilla's men holding a pistol to Skye's head. Naruto quickly substituted with the man before kicking him in the leg with an audible snap causing him to crumble to the ground holding his leg in agony.

Naruto turned to Skye, "Are you alright?" getting a nod from Skye

Naruto heard the fighting louder now that he was outside of his bunk, "Stay behind me." he said to Skye only receiving a nod in return before she got behind him

Naruto continues making his way towards the sound of fighting before he sees Coulson come down the stairs from his office and turn to the main screen drawing his attention to the screen, seeing one of Camilla's men with Fitz in a chokehold with a scalpel to his neck.

Naruto looks to Coulson as if asking him what to do. Coulson shakes his head no signaling Naruto not to risk it and surrender. Naruto nods before he puts his hands up motioning for Skye to do the same, Skye quickly follows Narutos lead before another one of Camilla's men comes and ties their hands behind their backs and escorting them down to the Cargo bay.


(Cargo Bay)

Camilla's men had finally rounded up Coulson's team and had placed them at the very end of the ramp. May was to the right of Naruto unconscious, with Skye to his left.

"This is all my fault. I should have learned Martial arts." Fitz commented

"Well, yeah, but I shouldn't have pushed you out into the field in the first place. You simply weren't ready and neither was I."

"Don't worry guys I'm pretty sure that Maelstrom has something up his sleeve." Skye said with a smile before looking to Naruto, "You do have something up your sleeve right? Please tell me you do." she added

"Working on it and getting us out of here and reclaiming the bus. Amongst other things." Naruto said

"Why don't you use that strength that you used to manhandle me last time to break the bindings?" Ward suggested sarcastically

"Ward…Put a sock in it." Naruto said as his patience with Ward was wearing very thin, "May are you awake?"

"I've been awake, listening to everyone complain and whine." May responded

"Alright great, when I break my bindings I am quietly going to free you of yours. When I pull the guards over the railing with his gun I want you to rush him and take care of him." Naruto instructed

Naruto gave her a glare, "Don't ask questions. Just stay put while me and May deal with the guard." as he silently broke his binds before breaking May's

May quietly moved into position, Naruto than used his magnetic field to pull the guards gun over the railing with the guard following sending the guard to the first level where May was waiting. May quickly disarmed the guard before knocking him out.

"Great job May." Naruto said as he stood up before moving onto his other teammates removing their bonds

"Thanks." Fitz said as Naruto removed his

"Much appreciated." Simmons said as hers were removed

"You're awesome." Skye said as hers were removed

"What's next?" Ward said as his were removed

Naruto looked at him, "What's next is I make my way up the plane and retake it while you guys stay here so you don't get hurt." as he moved up towards the stairs

"We are a team. We will take the bus back together." Ward said throwing Naruto off-guard

"Oh, so now we are a team. I thought you worked alone?" Naruto doubting Ward's change of heart

"Can't let you do all the work now can I." Ward said with a smirk

Naruto gave Ward a blank stare, "You not going to listen to me no matter what I say will you."

"Nope." Ward simply said

"You really need to work on taking orders from me." Naruto commented getting waved off by Ward before walking up to the door, jamming his fingers into the door, and ripping it from its hinges, shocking everyone on Coulson's team minus May.

"Just what the fuck are you?" Skye, Fitz, and Simmons all asked

Naruto looked back and smiled, "Your teammate and guardian. Now Ward you cover Fitz while he gets the 0-8-4." he then turned to Fitz, "When you have the 0-8-4 bring it back to the lab and put it in a secure container, we don't want any mishaps after this." getting a nod from Fitz, he then looked to Simmons, "You get Coulson, bring him back to the lab and make sure he isn't injured." getting a nod from Simmons, he then turned to May, "And you retake control of the plane.", a 'No shit' look from May.

Naruto then folded the door in half before making a make-shift handle to hold it like a Shield. Naruto then handed the Makeshift shield to Ward. "That should cover you when you and Fitz go for the 0-8-4."

Naruto then turned around, "Alright let's do this." before he continued forward, as soon as they rounded the corner they were under fire.

All the bullets hit Naruto and just stuck to his magnetic field. Ward quickly dispatched the men shooting at Naruto, before they continued on. May split off and headed for the pilot's cabin, Ward went with Fitz to get the 0-8-4 covering him against the gunfire. Soon they made it to the table holding the 0-8-4 and Fitz grabbed it before both of them fell back to the lab with Ward covering Fitz.

Naruto went with Simmon as cover while they made their way to Coulson. When they reached Coulson they were met by Camilla. Simmons went to go and undo Coulson's bond but was stopped by Camilla

"Little lady, I recommend that you just move and give up. We already have the 0-8-4 back in our possession. And I think we both know that you can't take me on and hope to win." Naruto said trying to reason with Camilla

Camilla sighed before, putting her gun down and getting on her knees, "I surrender."

Naruto nodded to Simmon signaling to her to go and take Coulson to the lab to check him for injuries. Naruto then took Coulson's restraints and bound Camilla and put her on the couch, where she would stay until they landed and the authorities took her.

Fitz comes backs back and looks at Naruto seeing all the bullet holes in his shirt as well as the bullets stuck in his skin, "The 0-8-4 is stable, but we should get it to the Slingshot ASAP. You should probably head down the lab so that Jemma can fix you up."

"Yea, I'll probably head down there now." Naruto replied before heading back to the lab


(Bus – The Lab)

Naruto came down the stairs to find Simmons patching up the cut on Coulson's head.

"Is he okay?" Naruto asked

"Yes I am okay just a little scratched up nothing to serious." Coulson answered


(A couple of hours later – The Slingshot)

They had landed at a Containment Facility and the 0-8-4 had been unloaded and locked away. Camilla had been taken away to a holding cell.

Fitz and Simmons came down the stairs with a cooler and some beers, "Come on. You guys your not going to want to miss this." Fitz said as they both headed for the end of the Cargo ramp

Soon enough everyone was sitting on the edge of the ramp with Skye to Naruto's right and May to his left, and Ward on the other side of May.

"So, it will take about 180 days to reach the sun at the speed it goes. Now, yes, it could be faster if they used hydrogen-fueled APUs, but they wanted to have fun." Fitz explained

"Exactly how many beers have you guys had?" Skye asked as she leaned into Naruto

"Skye-, it's important when in the field to unwind from time to time. Especially after a hard day like today." Simmons explained

"Yeah, what happened today isn't something that happens every day. It's an anomaly – an irregularity. Not something normal." Simmons continued slightly drunk

"All clear for liftoff." they heard off in the distance

"Oh, it's time for blastoff." Fitz said before plugging his nose, "In Three…Two…One…We have liftoff."

"You know the trajectory will take it beyond the Lagrange point so it doesn't run into Herschel." Fitz explained

"And there have not been any coronal mass ejections, so it shouldn't lose any telemetry." Simmons added

"Guys, English please." Ward commented before everyone went silent to watch the rocket take off

"You know if Skye is going to become a field agent she is going to need an S.O.." May commented getting Skye's attention

"What do you mean an S.O.." Skye asked confused

"S.O. is a Supervising Officer." May answered

"Ohhhh, Can Maelstrom be my S.O.." Skye asked before grabbing Naruto's arm causing everyone else to smile, "Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. I promise to be good." she begged Naruto

"My God, you really remind me of my daughter now. Fine, I'll be your Supervising Officer." Naruto said before ruffling Skye's hair

"Thank you." Skye said before fixing her hair

Just then Skye's phone vibrated, "I've got to take this." before she got up and went to the lab


A/N: As you can see Skye and Naruto's relationship will be that of a father and adopted daughter

Until next time Ja Ne
