On some levels, it was probably a good thing that the killer cat with tentacles seemed to have taken a shine to her - but on others, there was a horrifying amount of ways that it could go wrong. What if the cat started getting jealous when she gave other people attention? Or got mad if she didn't pet him often enough and decided to start flinging her around? [color=f6989d]"I'm just hoping Fury doesn't get jealous,"[/color] Bonnie joked with Harry.

	Novikova bit her lip slightly as Maria came into the room. She knew that this was her fault and Maria shouldn't take the blame for this. She had only told her girlfriend about it all today - she wasn't the one making the conscious and long term decision to betray the rest of the team. If there was any portion of her actions that Novikova regretted, it was what this might do to Maria. They had only been dating for a little over a month and a half now. She wouldn't have been surprised if Maria decided to end things with her over this. It probably would be good for optics if she did that anyways. 

	Barton's eyebrows shot up a bit as he saw the postcard that Niah had. Last he heard, Pym Technologies had its headquarters out in San Fransisco. He wasn't a science type - he wasn't Tony Stark or Bruce Banner - but his gut was telling him that whatever information Niah had, it was somehow connected to Novikova's quest to save Agent Sparks. [color=7851A9]"I understand, it's been a hell of a day for you,"[/color] Barton told Abercrombie. [color=7851A9]"I'd like to hear what you've found after Abercrombie briefs everyone,"[/color] he then told Bautista. 

	Bonnie hadn't heard of Ultron before, despite her seven years of working with SHIELD. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat at the prospect of banned technology. She loved working for SHIELD and she didn't want to do anything to jeopardize that. Biting her lip slightly, she couldn't help but think about everything this organization had done for her. SHIELD had been the ones to get her the help she needed after her husband's death. SHIELD had given her the tools to help to save the world and if Ultron was banned, then it had to have been for a reason. 

	She didn't know Agents Sparks and Blake. Her eyes darted towards Cass and she remembered a moment over four years ago, when they discovered her sister had abilities - and when Bonnie had lied to keep Carolina from being put on the Gifted Index. It was an old SHIELD registry of everyone with powers, destroyed in early 2019 by the Brotherhood of Mutants. [color=f6989d]"I don't know how I would be of use but... I'm in,"[/color] Bonnie told Tinley. She winced slightly as Flynn snapped back at Tinley and Barton looked at his Field Commander, his expression a silent question as to whether or not Tinley wanted him to step in.

	Novikova had shifted her weight slightly. While she didn't regret her actions, hearing the slight ridicule of herself and Maria wasn't easy by any means. She wanted to go over and take her girlfriend's gloved hand, but she knew that it wouldn't be a good idea. Instead, she took a breath and looked around the room. Once anyone who had decided to leave had gone, she began to explain the plan. [color=add3ff]"Project Ultron was billed as a means to prevent warfare with other nations in order to get the funding, but it was envisioned by Howard Stark and Hank Pym back in the late 70's as a means to probing the Quantum Realm. This is where you have become so small that the rules of classical mechanics and physics no longer apply... A place where things are not the way they are until you act upon them - where something can be dead and alive, and reality only becomes fixed once it is observed,"[/color] she said. 

	She was pretty certain no one had understood a single thing she said so far. [color=add3ff]"Ultron was missing a key component - the ability to perceive the dimensional energy, allowing it to operate in the Quantum Realm. A device can be used to link my powers to Ultron, allowing the machine to operate properly. Pym and I also... acquired... an AI device from Stark Industries that should work for our purposes as a basis for Ultron's AI system. All we need to do is get to San Fransisco before the probability fields change, hook me up into the system, and Pym can send down Ultron to retrieve anyone currently trapped in the Quantum Realm."[/color]

	Barton stared at her for a moment. [color=7851A9]"I speak nerd,"[/color] he prefaced. [color=7851A9]"So you stole some tech from Stark Industries, and now is the moment when the stars have aligned for this quantum heist of sorts? And all you need to do is hook your brain up to help a robot?"[/color] he summarized. 

	[color=add3ff]"...More or less..."[/color] Novikova explained.

	Barton nodded, before turning his attention to Niah. [color=7851A9]"Mind sharing how your postcard fits into all of this Back to the Future nonsense now? Goose seems interested in it and so am I."[/color]
