He was nearing the end of his rituals however. Director Hill's eyes narrowed, looking at Tinley with a gaze of pure calculation, as if she were attempting to determine the easiest way to build and then instantly destroy something. Power corrupts - and absolute power corrupts absolutely. She had been groomed by Fury to take over his position, and as a young woman early in her career, she couldn't afford anything less than a stellar performance. Hill would be judged twice as harshly and given only a quarter of the praise by the Council in comparison to her predecessor. Her eyes seemed to flicker for a moment, as if they were changing color, but it must have just been a trick of the light. [color=#76D7C4]"I sent you on a mission to determine why the inhumans had unleashed the Terrigen Mist into the atmosphere - not to defect to them and take their orders as gospel, Abercrombie. Maybe it was a mistake for me to have an inhuman lead that mission. As for communication and relaying what was going on... You weren't the one piloting the quinjet. You could have sent a transmission, however brief, while in transit."[/color] [color=#76D7C4]"I'm glad that your team performed well,"[/color] Hill continued. She eyed Oliver. [color=#76D7C4]"But I cannot trust you to lead. Agent Sullivan... go fetch Agent Reed for me. Agent Abercrombie, this is a temporary reassignment for now. We'll discuss this more later. You'll have an opportunity to defend your case with a council of the other senior agents present."[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=f6989d]Bonnie Chase[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/8k67nDb4/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=f6989d]Location:[/color][/b] Virology Lab [b][color=f6989d]Skills:[/color][/b] Jack of All Trades (Medicine), Enhanced Surgery, Enhanced Physiology [/center][hr] Bonnie's mind was focused on the work ahead of her. Had she not been, she likely would have shed a few tears for Raynor. She didn't like him at all, finding him extremely unpleasant and difficult to work with. He was one of the most frustrating agents that she had ever met, but he was still a person. He didn't deserve to be replaced by a skrull, without any sign of what had happened to him. She had to focus on getting Cass' blood so they could make a cure for Sparky and all the other mutants afflicted by M-Pox. Mourning a teammate would have to wait. [color=f6989d]"Good thought, Matt,"[/color] Bonnie said, managing a slight smile. She hadn't even realized that they could use his power of paralysis in order to keep Cass still. Sparky was ranting and raving, something Bonnie didn't blame her for but again, she just didn't have the processing space to deal with her. Maria was handling Sparky though - she was grateful for that. [color=f6989d]"Flynn, get your leg seen to by Tempest if you can. And then please keep Sparky from getting up, she'll just injure herself and make her condition worse."[/color] She frowned slightly at his comments about Tinley and Hill. [color=f6989d]"Stay still,"[/color] Bonnie instructed Cass, even though it was impossible for her to move. Agent Simmons assisted Bonnie with the procedure, helping to steady Bonnie's hands as she took the needle and gently pushed it in through the upper corner of Cass' eye, navigating the optic tissue. Bonnie felt incredibly tense, afraid that one wrong move would result in Cass being blind. [color=00ccff]"There,"[/color] Simmons agreed, giving Bonnie a nod. [color=00ccff]"You should be able to draw now."[/color] Bonnie nodded as well, slowly pulling back on the syringe. The needle itself was quite lengthy, easily double the length of the syringe. They were taking the largest blood sample Bonnie dared, not wanting to drain Cass' head of too much blood. The red liquid emerged into the syringe chamber, slowly filling until they had the syringe about three quarters full, the most they could do. Bonnie gently guided the needle out, not daring to breathe until it was out of Cass' eye. [color=f6989d]"There,"[/color] she said, as Simmons took the syringe and quickly transferred it into a pre-labeled vial. [color=f6989d]"Strange said he could accelerate the creation of a cure with that from his powers... Matt, I don't know, can you un-paralyze Cass? We're done with her hopefully. And could someone go fetch Strange?"[/color] There was a knock on the laboratory door. Peering in through the window, her silver hair braided back and ruby red shades masking her eyes, was Dominika Novikova. [color=add3ff]"Can I come in?"[/color]
