S.H.I.E.L.D. (closed for Mairu)

[Ins_spacetime87]

"Welcome to level nine..."
Ward had been repeting these words over and over in his head for the last few days. "Level nine, what did Iget myself into? " he thought as he saw Coulson coming down the stairs from his office in his ridiculously well outfitted plane.
After the events in new-York Coulson had been regarded as a mythical here. Not an easy feat, concidering the heroes S.H.I.E.L.D. already had on its payrole. But his heroïsm, that had cost him his life, had brought together a group of very special people, people that could not possibly work together. The Avengers had come to be because of Agent Coulson, and it had cost him his life...
At least, when you were a level eight agent...
"Welcome to level nine" Coulson had said when he drafted Ward to his secret team, revealing he was not as dead as director Fury wanted the world to think.
Ward looked around the table in the Planes situation room. Agent May looked gloomy as she had from the first day he met her... as for Fitz-Simmons.... they looked as unready for fieldwork as the day he had first met them.
"A fine team we have here " ward thought... An recently promoted undercover operative, a former undercover operative with serious mental issues and to fresh academy graduates, lead by a dead man. He couldn't help but smile.
"Is Something funny ward?" Coulson looked quite severe, something serious had to be up. "Two hours ago, a man climbed a burning building by knocking holes in the brick wall, saved a woman from the fire jumped from the top of the building and ran of. We have no idea where he is now, and to top it all of, Rising tide seems to have better video footage of the event than we have!"
May nodded her head and turned to Fitz, "any luck getting past their security to find out what they know of this event?"
Fitz sounded a bit unsure as he said: "not so far, their security measures would befit our own organisation, they use a programming language I am very unfamiliar with, it seems to be developed for and by the hacking community"
"We did make an interesting discovery though" Jemma put in, "we are not the only ones trying to get a peek at their files."
"Yes, we detected someone trying to get past their security measures, he didn't seem to be succesfull, but he did use this weird programming language."
"it's something" said coulson, "we have no other lead what so ever, you have this guys location?"
"Not yet" Said Fitz as he opened his laptop, "but I do Now"he hit a few more keys on the laptop, "and now the coördinates are in the planes computer."
May got up, "wheels up in five!"

Three hours later, ward found himself looking at the ugliest hippie van he had seen in years... Expectig a fat balding guy with an unkept beard in there, he knocked on the door...
Man, was he wrong....
Welcome to level nine....

Sky was exasperated, trying to get past Rising Tide was like trying to stop a train with a little squirt gun, especially when she was getting bad WiFi in the van she lived in. She had been an orphan, the system hadn't helped her and she hadn't been adopted so she was living in her van, trying to get past Rising Tide using their very annoying language. "Damn all this! If I just haad better equipment..."

Sky sighed and then got out of the van and went into the restaurant, getting a chicken sandwich and a drink to-go. She ate and then relaxed a bit hoping to try again in a little bit.

Sky was just going to try again when she heard a bunch of footsteps and then she saw shield agents and just blinked for a second before snapping to action and running. What the hell? What did she do to have Shield on her tail?! "Oww!" Suddenly she was tackled by the female. "Calm down, we need you to not run and come with us. We aren't going to hurt you." Yeah right. Just take all of her stuff away and question her like a criminal she thought, but she stopped fighting and got up and then she saw the other people. A very smart looking woman, an even smarter looking guy, and a very strong and almost handsome guy and then the woman that had captured her, also very strong woman. "Does anyone want to tell me what exactly shield wants with me because, I am not a criminal. Yes I may hack certain organisations but I never tried to hack you guys!" Sky was getting scared but tried to keep her calm look on while these people had her surrounded.

In the split second it took for Ward to see the look of recognition on the girls face, she was allready running. Ward didn't even bother to pursue. "Here comes the cavalry" he though. 5 seconds later the girl was pinned to the ground by May. She was struggling, but it was utterly futile, she wasn't going anywhere. She was making quite a fuss though, screaming that she was innocent that she never commited any crimes. Ward looked around nervously, the Van was parked in a back alley, but this was bound to attract attention... "please shut her up May, we need to get of the street!"
May fixed her with one of her scowls that could freeze a lake overnight and whispered something. Ward could not understand what she said, but the girl shut up immediatly and even though she still struggled a bit, let herself be guided off the street and towards their car. Ward gestured towards Fitz, who in minutes had the an running. The drive towards the plane was without incident, thank god.
Thegirls eyes didwiden shen she realised shewas taken to a plane, but she didn't say anything.
Coulson was polishing Lola when they drove up the ramp.
"Interrogation room?" Was all may asked when she got out of the car.
"Lets save the scare tactics for later shall we?" Coulson answered, "bring her up to the situation room, and please get us in the air May"

"So,"The girl put in as she was brought into the situation room, "Are we of to Guantanamo then?" She seemed to have regained some of her feistyness now that May had left the room. Ward took some time to look her over. She was very pretty, with shoulder long brown hair and beautiful doe eyes.
"That depends entirely on your coöperation," Coulson answered, "We found out you are quite interested in an organisation called Rising tide..."
The girl started spewing a torrent of complaints, how dangerous Rising tide was, and that we were wasting our time and recourses pursuing her while the real bad guys were out there.
Coulson shut her up with a gesture of his hand...
"good, because we need your help to hack them"
She looked dumbstruck at Coulson, so he continued: "I see we have your attention, do you have a name?"

 

[Mairu]

Sky was still struggling a tiny bit when the one guy said for someone called May to shut her up. Then the woman who had caught her scowled and whispered that she needed to shut up or she would not get out unbruised. That quickly shut Sky up. Then May she assumed with the other 3 people guided her to a van and she only struggled a tiny bit, wondering why her. After a few minutes they drove up to a plane and her eyes widened. A PLANE? WHAT THE HELL?! Oh man, she was so doomed. She kept her mouth shut though even though inside she started to panic slightly.

Sky then saw a slightly older guy, polishing what looked like an older car. Then May said about an interrogation room and Sky froze until the one guy said no for now. She put in her sarcastic comment as she was taken up now that May was gone, regaining her toughness and looked around at these people warily. Then the one slightly older guy said that it depended on her cooperation. Then they said about rising tide and Sky went into a fut until guy 3, finding numbers easier right now, held up his hand. He said good because they were wanting to hack them and Sky just looked at him, dumbstruck. What?! Then he said about having her attention and about her name. "Yes I have a name. It's Sky. What about you? Do you have a name or should I continue to think of you as guy 3?" Sky continued to hold this guys look and continued to be wary but also curious.

Ward let Coulson do the introductions.
"I am agent Coulson, and this is agent Ward. I am sorry for the way we had to collect you, we are on the clock and Hackers in vans don't tend to respond well to requests from our organisation. Then he turned to ward "I need to discuss the situation with Fury, explain to Skye what is going on and take her to the lab to see if she can help Fitz-Simmons solve the problem."He started up the stairs to is office, but turned before he entered: "And Ward, don't leave her allone with Fitz-Simmons."
Like he was going to.
Ward hated to be the baby-sitter, but he had to admit he was a little bit intrigued by this young girl who seemed so unimpressed by everything that was happening to her.
"We need to find someone,"He explained, "someone who is in danger from himself and might be a danger to the public" The problem is, we don't know his wehere abouts, Rising tide might know more, but our specialists can't get through their cyberprotection. They did however notice you knocking on the door..."
Thet had come to the entrance of the lab. seeing the equipment through the glass door, Ward could see Skyes eyes become as big as saucers. She tried to enter, but before she could open the door he stopped her and asked: "Why were you trying to hack their systems?"

 

[Mairu]

Skye listened as this guy Coulson introduced everyone and as he introduced Ward Skye thought the name was perfect. Chage it Warden and you had the most amazing name ever. Then she let out a little huff. "Of course they don't, because you people aren't really known for your kindness to outcasts!" Oh yes Skye was angry. They could have asked nicely, though she was the one who ran first so she couldn't really blame them. Then Coulson said don't leave her alone with these specialist people. Yep, his nickname was officially Warden. There was just no way she was calling him anything else now and it suited him perfectly.

Then as they started walking he started to explain and Skye wasn't really surprised. Rising Tides always had the best stuff and without Rising Tides language you couldn't get through. You also had to have good equipment. They then reached the lab and Skye's eyes got as big as they could and Skye almost opened the door before Ward stopped her and she sighed. "Well if you must know Warden," she put tons of emphasis on that word, "Rising Tides has information on my family and I'm trying to find it. Now can you please let me through, I won't touch anything I only want to look. I'm in prison on a plane, I'm not going to try and run so would you cool it."

 

[Ins_spacetime87]

"The name's Ward," Ward said as he opened the door. He wondered why she put so much emphasis on misspelling his name, was she joking? The rising tide having information on her family seemed a bit farfetched, but he decided to accept it for now, as the current matters were more pressing. However, he made a mental note to press her a bit more on the matter later.
"This are Agent Fitz and agent Simmons, our technical specialists. They can very much use your help right now, I hope you can be of service to them. Fitz, tell her where you are stuck, Fitz"
Fitz sighed in experartion as he looked at fitz who seemed not to be noticing any of his surroundings but was just eyeing skye. His annoyance was replaced by amusement as Jenna wacked Fitz over the head with the stack of papers she was holding. "seriously Fitz, Manners!?"
"A yes,"the recent graduate stuttered "the problem, right, its this stupid code they seem to use, it doesn't make sense, everytime I think I'm in. I just get kicked right out again and can barely kick of the counter attack. We noticed you didn't get in either, but at least you didnt seem to trigger their counter systems. I would like to learn why... If that is okay with you."
The conversation soon started to get a bit to technical for Wards liking, so he contentended himself with standing back and letting the brainy people do the work, while he did as he was ordered.. keeping his eyes on Skye.

 

[Mairu]

Skye just smiled as he said his name was Ward and then she went in after him. He then introduced the two people. "It's nice to meet you both." Skye then raised an eyebrow as Fitz seemed to be to out of it to pay attention, before Simmons wacked him overnhim the head.'Those two must be good friends' Skye thought. She turned her attention to Fitz as he started speaking and Skye nodded. "Well the reason you probably didn't get in is because of their language, which I happened to learn because my friend was one of them before he ran off. I didn't get in because my WiFi was crappy and slow and they found out I wasn't one of them before I could get in. If I could use your equipment I could get in. The other option is teaching the language, which takes about a month. I do understand if you don't want me using your stuff, I'm just saying it would be faster." A whole lot faster since, Skye wouldn't hack them since she wanted to be out as quickly as possible so she could get back to her, almost normal life.

 

[Ins_spacetime87]

Ward looked on as Skye started working on cracking the code. He could see thenervousness of Fitz, letting someone who wasn't asso iated with S.H.I.E.L.D. working on his delicate and powerfull hardware. But as Skye progressed, he could see both Fitz and Simmons get more excited. So of a Bitch, she might just do it... he heard simmons mutter.
SuddenlySkyelet out a yelp. "We are in"
Within seconds, Fitz had his data aquiring alogorithms pulling file afterfile from the encrypted rising tide data.
Speedreading through the data,simmons quickly came up with a few usefull bits of information.
" The good news, they dont know exactly where he is either, " she said, "the bad news is they identified a him and are planning to boafter him." Suddenly she froze, " Oh my god, he has a little boy!"
"Damn" ward thought, "this could get ugly". "Do we have a location?" He asked
"we do," Fitz answered.
" okay, send the coördinates to May, wheels up in five"
" Wait," he heard Skye yell, " you are done with me right? You should let me go first!"
Ward hesitated for a second, but Coulson, who had just apeared in the door made the decision for him.
" there is no time, wheels up in four, agent ward, show our guest to a room"

 

[Mairu]

Skye was relieved when they let her use their equipment and soon enough she got them in and they had the data. Skye wanted to ask if she could look for something else but didn't as it would be dangerous to let them know. The others talked and thrn she panicked. "Hey wait!" She then heard Coulson and she went even paler then she already was. She sighed as she let Mister Ward lead her to her new room. "Sooo Warden, why are you with shield?" Skye asked, making sure to put emphasis on how she said his name, walking righg behind and sort of to the side of him.
