Once she was finished, more or less, with the conversation with Tempest and Pym, Niah had come up to them just as Tempest walked off to take care of Novi. Tinley would never admit it, but she had a sinking feeling she was about to be told something that would affect her, especially if Niah was so worked up about it to the point where she needed to speak to her alone. The two of them had never been "close" per se, but she had respected Niah's abilities and drive. To see her tense worried Tinley greatly.

[color=FF8CBD]"Sure, you can always talk to me. What's up, Agent Bautista?"[/color]

Niah nodded and stepped in closer so Tinley could hear her. [color=0080ff]"The postcard from Goose, it was right. Mind you it took a bit longer to get to it then I hoped. Instead of Vision, we used Ultron and he went nuts. By now he had already escaped our attempts to kill or disable him. That's why Flynn and I are so tense right now. We just spent six months losing members of our team slowly in a fight against an unbeatable enemy that came from this very moment. Flynn, Raynor, Susan Storm, Doctor Strange and an agent that you don't know Roman Carter and I went back in time. I spoke with Pym and was able to convince him to change Ultron's code and he made Vision."[/color] Niah pointed over her shoulder at the machine that was talking with Flynn. [color=0080ff]"There is more. A lot more, but that's the basics. Pym can attest I was there in 1984, he remembered me. He wouldn't have seen the rest of the team, but I suspect Fury could back it up."[/color]

If anyone other than Niah told her about some alternate reality where something called Ultron went on a rampage, killing off their team and the only way to save it was to go back in time to alter its code, she would have thought them insane. She still felt it was insane, but at the same time, possible. [color=697017]"Yeah, she was there - Dr. Bautista told me what would happen to my family if I didn't listen...."[/color] Pym responded. Tinley took a beat to collect her thoughts.

[color=FF8CBD]"Ok, I have probably a million questions. What is Ultron and do we need to worry about Vision pulling something like he did?"[/color]

[color=0080ff]"Sorry if I came off more threatening then I actually am Doctor, but time was short."[/color] Niah apologized to Doctor Pym. Then she looked at Tinley and thought for a second. [color=0080ff]"I think the Doctor held up his end of the bargain and Vision is not a threat. Well maybe to Flynn's family tree, but not to any one's actual lives. Ultron had some sort of secondary code that activated after he pulled everyone from the Quantum realm. Doctor Pym didn't know what it was at the time so I figure he didn't put it in there, which means Vision's code should be clean of it. But Ultron was basically the same thing as Vision just...evil."[/color] She didn't know for certain what was different in the coding, her knowledge of robotics, while expanded recently, only gave her conjecture on the issue rather than exacts.

[color=FF8CBD]"Ok, well this is a lot to take in. I believe you, of course. There's no reason to lie about something like this. So what happened after Ultron turned evil? You said we lost agents. Who did we lose?"[/color] She wanted to ask more. Was she a casualty in the war? What happened to the other heroes? But she would start small. Give Niah time to process it and tell her. She wondered who else knew.

Niah gave a small sigh of relief when Tinley said she believed her. [color=0080ff]"Do you mean in the first fight? Or before I time traveled? Cause in the first fight Novikova was dead at 3:15 am."[/color] She remembered Bonnie announcing her time of death just after Ultron had blasted her. 

[color=0080ff]"Then we blew up Ultron but he had uploaded himself to the internet by then. After that, it was months of fighting between us. There was maybe a dozen of us left, and I mean between SHIELD the Avengers, anyone. They had all gone to work for Ultron or died trying to kill him. We made two plans. You took a few people and a virus to upload into Ultron to hopefully destroy him. You had the Hulk, Captain Marvel, Wanda, Cass and Maria."[/color] Keeping that version of Vision out of it for now so it wouldn't get confusing. In her full report, she'd explain how the team had broken Vision to the point where he broke off from his programming. 

[color=0080ff]"The other group I was with Flynn, Raynor, Susan Storm, Doctor Strange, and Carter, we went back in time. I don't know if your team succeeded, but we did."[/color] It felt weird to list the names of the only people she knew was alive at the end. Such a shortlist of people. And that wasn't even mentioning her promise to Doom, which she hadn't forgotten, but wasn't particularly looking forward to keeping. She would though.

Upon hearing the names of those who remained, Tinley's heart sank knowing they had lost so many people, most likely mourned their deaths and moved on, and now here they were. Here she was with no recollection of any of those events or what happened. Niah's team had succeeded, sure, but did her's? Who would know, if any of them? [color=FF8CBD]"I have to know what happened with my team. I won't be able to rest unless I know. There's a part of me, however small, that feels like this is missing. Would Cass or Maria remember?"[/color] She was talking to herself, really, but she shook it off. [color=FF8CBD]"For what it is worth, Agent.....Niah. I am glad you spoke to me about this. We'll need to debrief everyone once we take care of the injured fully. If you are up for it, I'd like you and whoever else remembers the alternate timeline to present the case, but I also understand if you don't feel comfortable doing so, in which case someone else or even I can state what you told me. Up to you."[/color]

Niah hadn't expected Tinley to call her Niah, it felt like a tiny piece of what had happened was still there. [color=0080ff]"You can ask them, but I suspect they remember as much as you do. I don't know Wanda's powers well enough, but she might remember? Or maybe Novikova's powers would allow her to see what happened? But it might be a while before she should risk something like that."[/color] She took a deep breath. [color=0080ff]"I can do the debrief. I would appreciate Flynn, Ryanor and Carter's help with it. They can fill in some blanks. I also have some things I need to do. Promises I made I have to keep."[/color] She glanced at Bonnie, sadness written deeply on her features. She looked as if she expected everyone to just drop dead.

Tinley nodded her understanding. [color=FF8CBD]"Seems we all have things we need to do. We'll see about Wanda first, give Novi some time to rest. Good work Niah."[/color] She patted her on the shoulder, giving her a warm smile before she turned to walk back towards where Novikova rested, allowing Niah to do what she needed to do.

[color=0080ff]"Thank you Tinley."[/color] She winced slightly as she said it hoping it wouldn't be overstepping. Her hand went for her necklace again. She closed her eyes. That was something she needed an answer for, but that could wait. She couldn't change it anymore. Niah opened her eyes and looked at Vision, begging the universe to just let this workout.
