He had decided to just let her hide under the blanket, not sure if she wanted to talk to him or not. While Fury seeing them was less than ideal, he had a wary suspicion that his cousin might have had something to do with it. It was the sort of thing he did - putting people into awkward and compromising situations. He was unbearable on Valentine's Day, yet he knew it likely wasn't him. He was an entire reality away, after all. [color=d86615]"Hey, Princess..."[/color] Raynor greeted softly, seeing Sparky poke her head out at him. [color=d86615]"Look, I um....I'm really sorry that happened...I'll take full responsibility..."[/color] [@Peridot]: Wherever Sami is, he'll receive a message from an unknown source. Of course, his gut will tell him that the sender must have been from someone high up in S.H.I.E.LD. command, if not from Fury himself. It also corresponds to the brief conversation that had previously. Unfortunately, it isn't news about his still missing uncle. Instead, it's a simple message, under five words: [i][b]Eliminate von Bardas.[/b][/i][hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=add3ff]Dominika Novikova[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://s22.postimg.cc/nchx8lext/tumblr_nwr7ad8_V011si3tc1o1_500.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=add3ff]Location:[/color][/b] the Lounge (Level Two) [b][color=add3ff]Skills:[/color][/b] Dimensional Energy Perception (Passive)[/center][hr] [color=add3ff]"I'm fine, listening to Black Sabbath,"[/color] Novikova said, taking her headphones off. She set her head lightly against Maria's chest, careful not to touch any of Maria's skin, as she relaxed slightly. They were friends first and foremost, and she felt incredibly safe around her. As Maria brought up Sparky and Raynor, Novikova nodded slightly. [color=add3ff]"There's something weird about him, Agent Blake...Like he [i]knows[/i] something..."[/color] Of course, if he hurt her BFF and former roommate, he'd be dead, no doubt about it. Novikova then glanced up at Maria. [color=add3ff]"You don't think he's HYDRA, do you?"[/color] she asked softly. As Tempest entered the room, Novikova couldn't help but appreciate the girl's looks. She was [i]stunning.[/i] And helping to repair the imbalance between Communications, Operations, and Sci-Tech on the Bus. Yet her mind was still on Agent Blake, not knowing that they were going to be plunged into a mission shortly. He had been spending an awful a lot of alone time with Sparky - and maybe Tempest knew something about him? They both were agents with experience. She didn't know if they had worked together previously or not. [color=add3ff]"Tempest...What do you know about HYDRA infiltrating SHIELD? Is it really over?"[/color] Novikova asked, curious. She was leaving Niah be, not sure if she wanted to talk or be a part of this conversation. Evidence had come to light that Nikolova was involved with HYDRA as well. [color=add3ff]"And Agent Blake....What is he? A mutant?"[/color][hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=gray]Director Fury[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://s22.postimg.cc/nj07pcdfl/source.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=gray]Location:[/color][/b] C.O.'s Office (Level Three)[/center][hr] Jim shook his head at Cass' comment about the Brotherhood. In his experience, movements like Jakobsen's only served to further empower groups like the Brotherhood. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger - and with O.M.E.N.'s transgressions against mutants, more were beginning to think that Magneto was right. They only narrowly avoided genocide - if they stood by idly, what's to say that wouldn't happen again? [color=773FE3]"If it was that simple to discourage Magneto and his band of asshats, the X-Men would've retired ages ago,"[/color] Jim pointed out. Fury gave Jim a bit of a side eye. [color=gray]"The weapons vary in design - they're constructed out of salvaged remains after fights involving the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Defenders, Alpha Flight...You name it, they're picking up the leftovers and seeing what they can put together. Intel says von Bardas' top engineer is calling himself the Tinkerer - since everyone needs have a fucking codename these days."[/color] [color=gray]"The location is Castle Doomstadt in Hassenstadt, the most populous city of the Latveria region. Fucking medieval ass castle was converted into the state house, von Bardas will be there. It's also where we believe the weapons are being shipped off to the highest bidder - and of course, made in some dank ass basement below. Weather is prone to rain like shit, so be prepared for that, and the temperature is fairly cool...And yes, Agent Abercrombie, stealth. This [i]cannot[/i] and I mean [i]cannot[/i] be traced back to the United States."[/color] There was a silent implication to that. If they were caught, S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't be able to come save them.
