Tinley let the blonde comment go, especially since she knew she was about to kick his ass. Before she could unleash said ass-kicking, Goose came around. It was bad enough he was running around here begging for food, but now was not the time! As Agent Wu came at her, she braced for a block before Goose, of all things, sprouted tentacles from his mouth and bashed Wu around the room. Tinley could only stare in shock and awe as the HYDRA agent was knocked out. Dixon had ran off, with Flynn on his tail.

As Cassandra and Harry left to go take Dixon and Wu to the holding cells, she received a message from Fury. He was, of course, privy to what had just occurred. Of course, he was. She sent a quick reply. [color=FF8CBD][i]"Purifiers outside of base attacking two agents. Tempest unleashed security measures and kill them. Dealing with more HYDRA agents in our midst."[/i][/color] She rubbed her temples. [color=FF8CBD]"All right, while they handle those guys, I'm going to check on Smith and Novikova."[/color]

She entered where the girls were, seeing Smith awake. She walked over to them both before she stared at Novikova. She came up to her face before she spoke. [color=FF8CBD]"Agnet Novikova. You are going to wake up from unconsciousness and sit up straight and listen to what I am about to tell you. Afterward, you will be free of my control and able to speak your mind, but until I say so, you will sit and listen. Now, wake up."[/color] After the command, Novikova's eyes would open and she would sit up straight and look at Tinley. She assumed Maria would do the same given what she witnessed.

[color=FF8CBD]"Now, on to business. I've had a hell of a day, in case you two aren't aware. Not only did I have tow agents sneaking out with technology and gear from us, they had to go and alert nearby Purifiers. On top of that, I had to deal with two HYDRA agents continuing to infiltrate our ranks. And deal with a cat who apparently can now sprout tentacles from its mouth like that's a thing. And the cherry on top of this is the dead bodies outside of our door that the local police are now dealing with."

"Needless to say, girls. I'm rightly pissed. But I am pissed for more than you might think. Agent Novikova, I know what you were trying to do. I saw the file you looked into. Hank Pym. Ultron. I get it. You want to try to bring Sparks and Raynor from the Quantum Realm. And you thought the best possible way to go about that was to sneak around behind my back. And you got Agent Smith to help you, though I imagine that took little effort, am I right Agent Smith?"[/color] She stared at Smith, obviously knowing the two's relationship.

[color=FF8CBD]"No, what upsets me more than all of this is the knife in my back. Do you think I am sitting here in my office playing Sudoku all day? Drinking tea and watching Netflix? Do you not think I haven't been planning and thinking of a way to bring back the both of them from that blasted place? You don't think it is eating me up inside, knowing it was my fault they are there in the first place? You would have been there too had I not prevented you! I am trying! But I also have a team here and now to take care of too and I am trying my best to make sure this all goes well so having you two go around me like that hurts! I give respect and, yet, can never seem to get any in return."

"For now, the two of you are to go back to your rooms and rest up. When you are feeling up to it, I expect a formal apology from both of you. And any knowledge you have gained from your efforts. Anything that could be used to bring them back, I want on my desk. As soon as possible."[/color]

With that, Tinley exited the room, making a beeline for her own quarters.

Tempest knew she was in for a chewing out. It really was the anticipation that killed you. Perhaps she could do something to butter up Tinley? She figured Flynn and Novi and Maria were more in trouble than her. She hadn't tried to kill them. It wasn't her fault they picked weak imbeciles to be Purifiers! Still, she needed to do something.

The security cams showed the local authorities roping the area off. So far, it seems they hadn't discovered them and were only tending to the bodies. [color=841536]"Cameras show the local authorities dealing with the bodies. I'll keep monitoring them, but I think we are in the clear as of now."[/color]

She also needed to inform Niah of what she found. Goose of all beings inside this building being the one to leave that post card. What did that mean?
