Earth-6161

SHIELD Triskelion [2012]

"Get me Stark on the Line. Have Romanoff bring back Banner. I have unlocked the credentials for his current location." Nick Fury ordered Maria Hill as he paced all but ran towards the roof, where a helicopter was waiting for him, to take him to the Helicarrier.

"Make sure Captain is on his way to meet Subject S1, alone. This-" He reached inside his trench coat and took out a small folder, handed it over to Hill and left the area with Hill looking into the folder with curiosity.

As far as Hill's knowledge went, there were no Subject S1 in the Index, and her access went pretty high up so there was no reason why the Director ordered her to make sure that the Captain met this subject and more importantly, alone.

Still, it was a task assigned to her which meant that she would complete it all the same.

Her eyes only grew wider as she read the lines after lines of data present inside the small manila folder. In the end, her body robotically took her to her office as she immediately began logging into the INDEX platform with the credentials given to her in the folder.

"Get me Agent Hayes. Tell him the Captain needs to dress up, and tell him to dress for tropical weather," SHe added after seeing the current location of Subject S1, and cut off the call from her assistant. Agent Hayes was assigned as the handler to Captain.

There was a single picture, of a lady well into her 50s as the file began loading after taking exhaustive authentications from her, that she dutifully fed through the folder given to her.

Something told Maria Hill that it was one of the most well guarded secrets of SHIELD, considering that the Director was carrying around the information related to this Subject S1 in his pocket.

The file finally finished loading into her computer, only after her computer could confirm that all the doors and windows of her office were closed down and there were no other people that the motion detectors could find. It was, frankly, a level of authentication that she had never seen used before.

Her eyes roamed the text documents, sparse as they were, as everything about Subject S1 and her powers was written inside it.

A naturally occurring Enhanced person.

Level 10 Threat?! 

Omega level Hydrokinetic.

Known anger issues with tendency to resort to extreme measures to threats and coercion, with known aversion to law enforcement agencies of any kind.

"Kill count : 20000?" She muttered, aghast at the numbers she was seeing about this woman.

There was more but it was redacted for her access level.

By God, what was this woman?

On her screen was a photo of a African-American woman well into her advanced years, drinking alcohol on a beach.

–Steve Rogers–

"So, where are we headed?" He asked the agent assigned to him as his handler, Agent Hayes, if his enhanced memory served him right.

"We are heading to..the Bahamas, to retrieve someone. I assume you read the debriefing package?" Agent Hayes asked him as they entered the advanced looking jet after suiting up in standard SHIELD gear.

"Yes and I have some strong opinions regarding it that I would like to tell the Director to his face." Agent Hayes did not know how to reply to that, apparently, so he settled on..

"Ok."

It was a short flight, as they touched down on a small private airstrip, and entered a SUV, which was part of a convoy. He was then given a small computer, if he recalled correctly from his lessons, and the face of a female agent appeared on it.

"Captain Rogers, I am Maria Hill, a level 7 agent. I have been tasked to debrief you about the person you are supposed to convince to join us in the fight against Loki."

"..Wait, what do you mean by convince? Does this person not want to work to protect the planet?" He asked her, confused and she only told him to wait a bit and then the screen changed to show a text document.

His face turned blank as his mind whirled at the stuff he was seeing, especially the small video clip about a series of dead agents, with their entire bodies mummified, as if someone had drained their…bodies.

"So, this is a serial killer? A psychopath? Are you kidding me? This is the type of person we have to turn to, for help? This is a mad dog that we put down, Agent Hill, no matter how powerful they may be." He exploded at the screen as his fingers flew over the screen, rapidly scanning the entire document that recorded all her exploits.

"Please, Captain Rogers. Yes, I agree that this woman needs to be locked up and the key needs to be thrown away but you have to realise, this woman is the only known human to have this level of power. Her power might just help us turn the tide against Loki. We don't have any other power house on her level."

"So, we have to beg her?" He grit his teeth as he asked her, his grip tightening on the laptop.

"No, we are not begging her. We are telling her about a threat to the planet where she too resides. The only reason you are being sent is because she has the ability to sense humans and differentiate between trained and untrained humans. She tends to…escalate if she sees a law enforcement officer heading towards her. We are hoping your enhancements can help you survive."

"Doesn't that make her a traitor of the highest order? A traitor to the entire human race?"

Hill's face remained blank as she replied, "Captain Rogers, you have your orders, please follow them. We can't afford to make an enemy out of her, period, let alone at a sensitive time like this."

His face grew stormy but he kept his mouth shut. Hill was right, right now was not the time for this. "Still, isn't there someone else you can send? I fear I am not in the right mindset for this."

Hill took one look at his face and then softly replied, "Captain Rogers, we have credible proof that you are one of the few historical figures that she admires. We cannot send anyone else not only because they might just be sent to their deaths but also because we need to get the message across,"

He exhaled and nodded, "Fine. I'll do it."

"Fine, your transport is ready. You will have a team with you but they are remote support only. She has a substantial range of detection and as stated before, we cannot afford to antagonise this woman."

He took the dismissal for what it was and shut down the laptop.He was then escorted to the jet they were going to take, which was much smaller than the one taken before. Entering the jet with just a single pilot, he then leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. For some reason, he could not fathom the concept of someone responsible for these many deaths not being put down. Even if they were useful in the fight against Loki, he could not possibly trust this woman.

If you guys would like to support me or read more of where these snippets came from, you can head on to my P*treon. 

I run weekly polls on P*treon to decide which snippet series will get updated (2-3 ch/wk) and ofcourse, I write what my muse brings me as well.

Do note that the 5 extra snippets will be in order of when they were written & uploaded, not necessarily 5 chapters of any given story.
