A/N: Hello everyone, Sorcerer12 here with another fic. If you have ever watched Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. than this fic will be following closely with that timeline with a few tweaks some major, some minor here and there, overall this is about Naruto and his time on Coulson's team. I will try and follow the timeline as best as I can in terms so when stuff happens in the movies as well, But I am human, I make mistakes. This fic is set after Ironman 3 as apparently that's when this T.V. Show starts in terms of timeline.

(Fury's Office)

Fury was sitting at his desk pondering the current decision that he was about to make. 'Should I really bring him in in case shit hits the fan and May can't take care of things?' he thought to himself as he held his phone in his hand that had Naruto's contact open on the screen. 'Fuck it, he did say if I ever needed his help with anything not pertaining to this world to just call.' he finished his thought before he hit the call button and put the phone to his ear.

"What do you need Fury, I know this isn't a social call." Naruto said answering the phone in a slightly annoyed tone

"I have a favor to ask, you said that I could call and ask for help with something that technically doesn't pertain to this world. Come to my office and we can talk about it." Fury responded

"I'll be right there. Just let me finish up here." Naruto responded before hanging up the phone

Fury put his phone back in his pocket, and just sat at his desk waiting for Naruto.

A few minutes later a portal opens in his office and outsteps Naruto, causing Fury to get out of his chair to go and shake Naruto's hand.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice." Fury said gratefully

"Yea, tell that to my wife. We were kinda in the middle of bonding time with the kids." Naruto said still slightly annoyed

Fury then walks over to the window in his office, where he can see Coulson's "Bus" in the hangar, "I need to bring you in as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent to watch over one of my most trusted friends." Fury began to explain, "You remember Agent Coulson from the Helicarrier that you saved right?"

Naruto was now on edge because last he remembered, Coulson took Loki's scepter thru his heart killing him, "Fury what the fuck did you do this time."

Fury turned around furiously, "I did what I had to, to make sure that this organization would be in good hands when the time came to pass the mantle on. I resurrected Coulson using serum from a shutdown project by the name of T.A.H.I.T.I., now before you go looking into T.A.H.I.T.I. to get more information let me expand on what T.A.H.I.T.I. is, T.A.H.I.T.I. is an off-the-books project that we started up back in 2009 with the goal of creating a medicine that could save a mortally wounded Avenger, the head of this project was Agent Coulson that you met. Using the remains of an alien corpse of Kree origin, we used its blood to create this medicine and it initially had promising results with some of the test subjects recovering from terminal illnesses but after a while, they began to show signs of insanity including, becoming obsessed with drawing strange drawings. I already have someone else looking over Coulson but I want you to be there in case shit hits the fan, I want to make sure that my efforts in bringing back Agent Coulson weren't for nothing. I can bring you into S.H.I.E.L.D. as a level 10 0-8-4 considering what you can do, which is an object or person of unknown origin under the Alias 'Agent Maelstrom'. Only I would have access to your file, I will even let you put the encryption on the file yourself so that no one can crack it, I would be putting you in a team under Coulson as their supervisor, putting you both above and below Coulson at the same time, with your secondary mission to keep the team alive. I know that Tony is retired from being Iron Man, so you have some spare time. I don't mean to sound like an entitled dick let me just get that straight." Fury explained

Naruto sighed before running his hand down his face, "You really shouldn't be mixing biology as there can and most certainly will be uncertain effects as a result."

"I know that, but it was necessary to make sure that S.H.I.E.L.D. had a worthy successor when the time comes." Fury replied still looking out the window, "I also need someone like you to make sure that Coulson stays safe when I pass on the mantle."

Naruto sighs before picking up his phone and dialing his wife.

"Hey Honey, what's up with Fury?" Sakura asked

"Fury wants me on a team to watch over someone that he trusts and holds dear to him." Naruto answered

"What about Scampi and Rose. Will they get to see you often?" Sakura asked

Naruto looked up at Fury, "How often will I get to see my kids in person, without having to use a clone?"

Fury looked at him, "As often as Coulson's plane is grounded. If need be, you can leave a clone with Coulson and see your kids. You could also leave a clone with your family so you don't miss important milestones."

"As often as I can according to Fury, and if I really need to see you guys, he says that I can just leave a clone in my place. He also brought up an excellent idea, I can just leave a blood clone with you guys so I don't miss important milestones." Naruto answered

Sakura sighed over the phone, "If Fury really needs you that bad I am fine with it, just make sure you leave a blood clone with us." Sakura reluctantly said

"I love you Honey." Naruto said

"I love you to Babe." Sakura said back before hanging up the phone

Naruto turned around and stuck out his hand, which Fury grabbed and shook, "I'm in. Where do I meet the rest of the team?"

Fury brought him to the window in his office, "The plane in that hangar over there is where you will meet the rest of the team." before pointing towards the hangar from his office. Fury then hands him a golden S.H.I.E.L.D badge, one that he personally had made for Naruto.

Naruto pockets it before Fury walks over to his computer to bring up the file on Naruto so that he can encrypt it. Naruto spends about 30 seconds putting unbreakable encryption on his file before opening a portal and giving Fury a salute, Naruto then steps thru the portal and into the hangar that the 'Bus' is in. No one sees the portal that he opened so he just walks out and toward the back of the plane.

Upon arrival at the back of the plane, he is met by another man that he can only presume is another agent assigned to the team. As he walks up the ramp, he is greeted by 2 people arguing while one grabs a rifle from the other.

"Would you watch it, that's the Night-Night gun." the man said in a Scottish accent

"Well, it was on my stuff, and it doesn't work as far as I am concerned, also there is no way we are calling it the night-night gun." the woman said in a British accent as she grabbed another suitcase

Naruto saw that she had a decent number of bags on her and decided to see if she needed help, "Miss do you need any help with your bags?" he said making his presence known getting both their attention

The woman smiled, "If you wouldn't mind." she said before handing him the suitcase that she was carrying before heading into what he could only assume was the planes lab. She pointed to a table, "Just set it over there if you wouldn't mind. Oh, I am Simmons, and that is Fitz." the now-named Simmons said before pointing to Fitz.

"Nice to meet you, Simmons, and Fitz, I am Agent Maelstrom, at your service." Naruto said with a bow causing Simmons to blush a little at his modesty.

He stood back up straight again before he decided to ask about the rifle, "Dare I ask what that rifle is?" he said in a joking tone

Fitz decided to speak up and explain, "This rifle delivers nonlethal, heavy stopping power bullets that break up under the subcutaneous tissue, delivering a dose of only .1 microliters of Dendrotoxin. I call it the Night-Night gun."

"We are not calling it the Night-Night gun." Simmons said once again causing Fitz to frown, it was at this moment that the other man that Naruto saw walking up the ramp decided to make his presence known.

"Fitz-Simmons." the man said in a clearly annoyed fashion

"Well, you already know who is who, I am engineering. Simmons is Biochem." Fitz spoke up, "Agent Ward?" he said curiously

The now named Agent Ward pulled a small black phone-like device from his suit, "Coulson told me I would need to have my comm receiver encoded." before handing it to Fitz who took it over to a table and proceeded to smash it to bits.

"That was the latest model." Ward said even more annoyed

"He'll have to repurpose the I.D.I.S. chip." Simmons explained before Fitz grabbed a tiny piece of tech from what he had just smashed with tweezers.

"Simmons, would you please give Maelstrom his comms receiver. It should be on the table over there along with his earpiece." Fitz said pointing to a table not too far away from Simmons.

Simmons walked over to the table and grabbed the small phone-looking device and handed it to Naruto along with the earpiece that he immediately put in his ear.

"Ward you don't be needing the external receiver in the inner-ear comms anymore." Fitz said before he came back with the new encoder and earpiece.

"How exactly does-." Ward began to ask only to be interrupted by Simmons taking a cheek swab from Ward

"It has an embedded sensorineural silicone match to your DNA. Fury sent one to use ahead of time for Maelstrom, so he doesn't need a cheek swab." Simmons explained

After Simmons was done, she capped the swab before looking to them both, "So, are you guys excited to be on our journey into mystery?"

"Sure, I am just here in case things get ugly." Naruto said with enthusiasm

"It's like Christmas." Ward said still in an annoyed tone

Soon Naruto and Ward heard screeching tires causing them to look back, only to see a cherry red Chevrolet Corvette drive up the ramp and park.

"It's one of Coulson's old S.H.I.E.L.D. collectibles, even calls it Lola, has flame throwers, worlds first GPS." Fitz commented as Coulson got out of the car and headed for the stairs

"Maelstrom, Ward with me." Coulson said as he began up the stairs quickly followed by Naruto and Ward, "People tend to get confused between the words, 'New' and 'Improved'."

Once they were on the second floor Coulson began to explain the plane to Ward and Naruto as they walked, "This mobile command, planes like this were in heavy rotation back in the '90s, but then came the Heli-carrier."

Soon they were met by a Chinese-looking woman, "If you plan to unpack make it quick. I've got wheels up in 5." the woman said before handing Coulson a binder, "We may have a hit on one of the Rising Tide's routing points."

Coulson took the binder and began to look thru it, "Great, we are in need of some catching up." before the Chinese woman walked away leaving a stunned Ward.

"Is that who I think it is?" Ward asked

Coulson looked up to Ward, "She is just the pilot." he simply said before moving back to the binder

Ward had a dumbfounded look, "Melinda May is 'Just the Pilot'? Come on Sir what game are you really playing here?"

Coulson looked up again, "You better stow your gear." he then turned to Naruto, "You might want to go and get your stuff."

Naruto nodded before he went to get off the plane and teleport home to get his stuff. All in all, it took him about 3 minutes to get everything and get back, astonishing Fitz, Simmons, and Ward, before picking a bunk.


(20 Minutes later – Unknown Van in an Alley Way)

Naruto, Ward, and Coulson were standing outside a van that was parking in an alleyway listening to the person on the other side. They waited a couple more seconds before Ward opened the door, surprising the woman inside. She then turned to them with a smile.

"Hey. What up?" was all she said before Ward put a black cloth bag over her head so that she couldn't see but could still breathe.

Ward then grabbed her and pulled her out of the van and over to their SUV, before putting her in the back seat.

Coulson motioned for Ward to drive the van.

"You guys going to tell me where we are going?" the woman asked only to get no response, "Okay, so it is going to be like that?" she added on before she decided to just stay silent and wait till they got to where they were going.


(20 minutes later)

It had been a decent bit of time since they had put her inside the SUV, but now she felt the vehicle stop and the doors open. Soon her door was opened, and she felt someone grab her and pull her out of the vehicle, once they had her out of the car, she heard the doors close before the person that got her out of the car began to drag her in an unknown direction.

Soon they were at the ramp to the bus, "Watch your step." Naruto told her before pulling on her again.

Soon they were in the interrogation room. Coulson motioned for Naruto to remove the bag from her head. Naruto walked over to the woman and pulled the bag on her head.

The woman took in her surroundings, "You guys are making a big mistake." she said

"You don't look that big to me." Ward commented before walking over to Coulson

"Sorry miss for the lack of finesse. Agent Ward here has a little bit of history with your group, you know the rising tide." Coulson said in an apologetic tone.

The woman looked away from them and down at the table, "I don't know…what you're talking about."

Ward was already getting angry with this woman, "Alright, there are two ways we can do this."

"Oh. By any chance is one of them the easy way?" the woman asked

"No." Ward simply said before getting a look from Naruto

"Don't worry, I won't let him do any real harm to you." Naruto said reassuring the woman

"What is your name?" Coulson asked

"Skye." was all that the now-named Skye said

"What is your real name." Ward asked

"Ward that can wait for now." Coulson said, "What we need from you is another name – the name of a certain hero that you have come across recently."

Skye took a deep breath to calm herself, "And what makes you think that I know."

"Well, for starters, you make a little mistake. The phone that you filmed the hooded hero with has the same cryptographic signature as a few of the rising tide posts." Coulson explained

Skye paused for a second, "Wow, but was that really a mistake, or am I now sitting in the center of your secret headquarters?", she began to look around, "What is this a plane? I got inside, and by now you have probably discovered that you can't beat the encryption on my equipment, so really you got nothing."

Naruto laughed, "I'll give it to your little girl, you got spunk and I like that. I could easily beat the encryption on your equipment, but I am going to give you the chance of doing something good for yourself."

"We have a fairly strong coincidence—" Coulson said as he opened the binder that May gave him and pulled out some pictures before setting them in front of Skye, "You being on the scene, right before it went up in flames. You want to tell me what my team might find there?"

Ward walks right up to her side, "Did you blow it up to draw him out?

Skye looks up at him with an outraged look, "Did you?"

"That is not our style Skye. We don't blow stuff up and put people in danger just to draw people out." Coulson said

"I was just kidnapped by your 'Style'" Skye said with an applauded expression, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has covered up thing before like New Mexico, Project Pegasus. I wouldn't be surprised if you were trying to cover up Centipede as well."

This caught Coulson and Ward by surprise, which didn't go unnoticed by Skye, "Holy shit, no way, I know about something that you guys don't?", Skye laughed, "Billions of dollars of equipment at your disposal, and I beat you with a laptop that I won in a bet?"

"You need to really think about your friend. As we are not the only ones interested in him, in people with powers. We would like to contain him, yeah, but the next guy will want to exploit him, and the next dissect." Coulson explained

Ward put his hand on the table and leaned over Skye, "What is Centipede?"

Skye sighed before getting up from her seat, "There was chatter on the web, and then it was gone. I traced one of the access-points mac address to that building."

"What were you after exactly." Ward asked

"The truth." Skye simply stated, "What are you after?"

"World Peace." Ward said in an irritated manner

"You pseudo-anarchist hacker types love to stir things up. But you guys are never around to see the fallout. People keep secrets for a reason, Skye." Ward said as he got closer

Naruto stepped in a pushed Ward back, "Back off Ward, don't get physical with her."

"Well, just because you're reasonable and arrogant, doesn't mean that you're not an evil, faceless government tool bag." Skye said

Ward was getting really tired of Skye, "Just give us your guy's name."

"What don't you people get, he is not my guy." Skye exclaimed

"You do understand that he is in danger." Coulson said

Skye turned to Coulson, "Then let me go. Let me talk to him not the T-1000 here."

Ward scoffed, "You want to be alone with him. Of course."

Ward then looked at Coulson, "She's a groupie, all this hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D., tracking powers—she might as well be one of those sweaty cosplay girls crowding around Stark Tower."

"IT WAS ONE TIME." Skye exclaimed

Coulson got up and opened the door, "Ward, outside now." he then turned to Naruto, "You continue the interrogation." he told him before he walked out as Ward followed him.

After the door closed Naruto got out of his seat, "Skye, please just sit down and relax, I mean you no harm unlike Dick bag McGee out there." Skye reluctantly sat down in the chair where Naruto got behind her and started to rub her shoulders relaxing her, before moving up to her head and massaging that.

When he got her all relaxed he silently dove into her mind with his telepathy to search her mind for the information that they were looking for, before implanting a memory of her telling him what he found in her head. Once he was done he stopped massaging her head much to her protest.

"That felt really good. I might have to have you do that again some time." Skye said in a seductive tone

"I am married." was all that Naruto said before he moved towards the door, opening it and motioning for her to follow.

Once they exit the interrogation room, Naruto and Skye meet up with Coulson who is at a table with a white lit-up surface.

Coulson looks to Naruto, "What did you get."

"She managed to swipe his ID off of him when they met at a dinner." Naruto said before motioning for Skye to give Coulson the ID.

Skye gives Coulson the ID, which he puts on the table causing it to bring up all the information that S.H.I.E.L.D. had on the now named Michael.

Naruto looked to Ward, "Sometimes being an asshole with interrogations isn't always the way to go." causing Ward to frown

Coulson looks to Naruto, "Great work, let's see what you got."

Coulson pulls up some news feed showing their guy destroying equipment and killing someone before they look to Skye.

"This is not the guy that I met, when I met him, he was…He just needs a break." Skye said

Coulson looked at Skye, "Then give him one, lets see what you got."


(20 minutes later – The Bus – Main Room)

Everyone was now gathered around the Main table, Coulson put the ID back on the table as all the information poured on screen.

"Michael Peterson was a factory worker, currently married, has one kid. Gets injured, gets laid off. Wife bails. Good guy, Bad breaks. Best guess is, somebody tells him they can make him strong again, make him super." Coulson explains

"Who has the tech to do that? And why would they want to?" May asks

Coulson looks to Fitz, "Fitz, what do you have from the Security Footage before the blast?"

Fitz pulls up what he managed to scramble together onto the screen, "What are we seeing?" May asks

"Well, the man is angry at the other man clearly." Fitz says sheepishly

"The data is very corrupt." Simmons comments, "Yeah, kinda like cold war Russia corrupt. Yeah." Fitz comments

"What if you had the audio?" Skye asks causing everyone to look at her, "I was… running surveillance on the lab. I had my mic pointed at the window before the blast. The digital files are in my van. There's too much background noise for me."

Simmons looks to Fitz, "You can clean that up can't you? Just find a sync point and use cross-field validation." she says before they converse among themselves. "Yea, that would be great thank you very much. We will take the audio please." they say simultaneously.

"Your van is here but you were right – we couldn't decrypt any of the files." Coulson says

"I made it so that the encryption is coupled to the GPS. Get my van back to that alley, and then I'm in business." Skye explains

"Agent May and Agent Maelstrom will escort you in case Michael shows up." Coulson says before motioning for them to get going


(Alleyway with Skye's van)

Skye had just finished uploading the audio files, "Audio file should be coming through now it's not compressed, so it might take a minute."

"Uh, yeah I am getting it now." Fitz said before hanging up

Skye quickly and secretly moved something aside to reveal 3 SD card's she grabbed one and put it in her bra going unnoticed by May but not by Naruto.

"That should do it." Skye said

"Alright, it's time to go Skye." Naruto said only for Michael to jump down and toss May into a wall knocking her out.

"Mike what are you doing?" Skye asks

"Saving you from the Men in Dark Suits. And your gonna help save us? Just let me finish off this guy." Mike said before he threw a right hook and Naruto only for him to catch it.

"Michael, you need to leave." Naruto said only for Michael to take another swing with his other arm, surprise Naruto caught that one too. Naruto then tosses Michael into the brick wall 5 feet away, knocking him out temporarily surprising Skye.

"Skye, we need to go I knocked him out for a little bit but it won't last for long, grab the boy while I grab May, and get him in the SUV. I'll be right behind you." Naruto commanded which she promptly followed

Naruto walked over to May and picked her up bridal style carrying her over to the SUV where Skye opened the door for him to lay her down on the seat. During all of this Michael regains consciousness, long enough to see his son in the SUV before Skye closes the door.

"ACE. GIVE ME BACK MY SON." Michael calls out before getting up and charging Naruto

Naruto turns around and prepares to send Michael into the wall across from him and knock him out cold. When Mike is within range Naruto grabs him before spinning him around using his momentum and tossing him into the wall where the impact knocks him out cold causing him to fall to the ground.

After this Naruto quickly hurries over to the driver's seat of the SUV and hops in before driving off leaving Michael knocked out on the ground.


(The Bus)

Naruto, Ward, Skye, Coulson, and May are gathered around the main table with Ace sitting a ways away in a chair with a juice box and a snack.

"We need to find a way to neutralize the extremis inside Mike, any suggestions?" Coulson asks

"We could put a bullet in his head." Ward suggests getting glares from Skye, Naruto, and Coulson

"There will be no killing, Simmons and Fitz are working to up the power of the Night-Night gun as we speak. Any other suggestions." Coulson asks

"If he has had extremis in his system for this long then the only factor that plays into him going kaboom are his emotions, I have some experience with extremis, if he gets angry enough his body will release chemicals that will react with the extremis and make him go Kaboom." Naruto said, "Just keep him calm and we go from there basically."

Coulson looks to Skye, "Do you have any way to find Mike?"

"I can run facial recognition." Skye says as she begins typing away

Seconds later they get a hit from a Train station in New York, they pull up the feed for the camera only to see Mike destroying stuff in the train station. They look closer to see his lips moving.

"Skye, can you get the audio on this camera?" Coulson asks

"Yea give me a second." Skye said

"GIVE ME BACK MY SON, OR I BRING THIS WHOLE PLACE DOWN." Mike screamed before he destroyed another pillar, they could see him begin to glow.

"Skye get me into the intercoms at the train station NOW." Coulson ordered

Skye gets right on it and 5 seconds later she is in, "Your in."

"Mr. Peterson, we have your son, he is not harmed, please calm down, we are on our way now. Just please stay calm." Coulson said before they saw Mike calm down as he slowly stopped glowing.

Coulson closed the feed before going over to Ace, "Do you want to see your dad?"

Ace shook his head yes, "Alright let's got see him than he is waiting for you." before leading Ace toward the stairs.

Coulson looked back, "Maelstrom you're with me on point. Ward I want you at a distance with the Night-Night gun ready if he seems out of control. Simmons you're on standby for medical." they all nod and pile into the SUV.


(Train Station)

Naruto, Coulson, Ace, and Skye enter the train station that Mike has been causing havoc in. Upon entry Mike immediately sees them.

"Hey Ace, have they been good to you? Have they hurt you?" Mike asked

"No dad, they have been really nice." Ace answered, "Dad what have you been doing, what's going on?" he asked a bit worried

Coulson sees this and looks to Skye, "Take him somewhere so he doesn't see all this." he says before handing Ace off to Skye

"Where are you taking my son!?" Mike demands starting to glow slightly

"I don't think you want your son seeing you how you are now. It could affect how he feels about you." Coulson answers trying to calm Mike down

Mike sees the logic behind his decision and calms down, he looks up at Coulson not missing Ward in the distance with the Night Night rifle trained on him, "I know you have men everywhere waiting to put me down. I know how this plays out."

"I don't." Coulson says trying to reassure him, "I know that you got poison in your system. I know that it's burning you up on the inside. Mike, the last guy that wore that device exploded."

"I am not like that other guy. It matters who I am on the inside if I'm a good person If I'm strong." Mike reassured himself

"I have a clear shot. Do you copy?" Ward said

Coulson chooses to ignore Ward to keep Mike down and keep the situation under control.

"I know you are strong Mike. So does your boy. Your boy needs you to let us help you." Coulson said

"You took him! You took my wife, job, house, everything." he said hysterically before pulling down his sleeve, "You think this device is killing me?! All over there are people being pushed down, robbed, and when one of them tries to stand up. You got to make an example out of him." Mike finished before grabbing part of a pillar and swinging it around in the air.

"And you think bringing this building down on us will help them?" Coulson asked angering Mike causing him to swing the pillar into a stand destroying a part of it.

"That's a lie, all you do is lie!" Mike counters everyone could see the extremis suddenly flare up before going away, "You said if we worked hard…If we did right…we'd have a place. You said it was enough to be a man. But there is better than man now. There's gods and the rest of us what are we, just ants for them to step on. They are Giants, and we are the ants that they step on." Mike finished slowly walking up while he was talking until he was almost faced to face with Coulson.

"I know. I have seen these Giants up close, and it cost me nearly everything. But the good ones…the real deal, they aren't heroes because of what they have or what they can do that we don't. It's what they do with it. You are right Mike. It matters who you are on the inside." Coulson explained

"I could, you know. Be a hero." Mike said in a tearful voice

There was a moment of silence before Mike's head jolted back and he fell to the ground, "WHO THE FUCK FIRED THAT SHOT." Naruto yelled in anger before looking around, when his eyes landed on Ward he saw that his finger was in the trigger well and came to the conclusion that Ward fired the shot.

Naruto kneeled over Mike making it look like he was checking for a pulse when he had already sensed that Mike was still alive, he put 2 fingers on Mike's neck pretending to take his pulse. "He's alive." was all that he said before Naruto got up and marched up to where Ward and Fitz were perched.

When Naruto got there he yanked the rifle away before tossing it across the train station shocking Fitz and Ward. "Who the fuck gave you the order to fire?" he asked

"I did what I thought was best in this situation. Mike was too close to Coulson and I didn't want to take any chances." Ward said defensively

Naruto grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, "Let me make 1 thing very clear pretty boy, the next time that you do something like this without orders, I will kick you off this team." he said before tossing him like a ragdoll into a wall knocking him out, turning around to watch the paramedics take Mike away. Coulson gives Naruto a smile before nodding silently telling him to collect Ward.

Naruto walks over to Ward and tosses him over his shoulder before walking back to Coulson. Coulson touches his earpiece, "Everything is all clear, he is in a stable condition." before they all head back to the SUV


(The Bus)

Coulson and Naruto were cornering a still unconscious Ward who was now slowly regaining consciousness, "Ward I did not give you the order to fire that shot. What made you think that it was okay to act outside of my orders?"

"I did what I felt was best considering how close he was to you." Ward said defensively

Coulson turns to Naruto, "Gather everyone and have them at the Main table in 5, that should give Ward enough time to regather his bearings." Naruto nodded before going to gather everyone.


(5 minutes later – Main Table – The Bus)

Everyone was gathered at the main table, "What's up boss?"

"It's time that I reveal Agent Maelstroms' true purpose on this team. He is my second in command, acting both above me, and below me. He takes orders from me, but also has the power to give orders, he is the supervisor of this group in short." Coulson explained, "He is the go-to person when shit hits the fan on our operations."

Ward decides to speak up, "Under whose orders?"

Coulson looked everyone dead in the eye, serious as can be. "Director Nick Fury himself. You are all dismissed."

Coulson looked over to Skye, "Come on Skye we have to deliver Ace to his Aunt." before they both head for his corvette.


(A few hours later – With Coulson and Skye)

Coulson and Skye had just dropped Ace off at his Aunt's house, and were now in the corvette, suddenly Coulson's phone rang.

"What's up?" Coulson asks

"Sir we have a code 0-8-4." Ward said shocking Coulson

"Is it confirmed?" Coulson asked skeptically

"They want us to go in and confirm it." Ward answered


A/N: So the way I am going to do this to make it more manageable is I'm going to do 1-2 episodes per chapter, probably 1 as to not confuse you guys.

I don't know what that table that they put Mike's ID on in the first episode it so I am calling it the main table.

Until next time Ja Ne
