Nikolay soon found himself looking up towards the big friendly giant in the room: Henry. Ah, hell. That man... boy(?) was an absolute unit of a specimen of humanity. He hadn't really noticed the man's size until now, but being this close... well, he felt like a little grasshopper beneath Henry. Still, he had been with people that were taller than his good self; some of his friends back in Sakhalin were quite tall too. They paled in comparison with the Titanic German that was... asking him and the others to a dinner. To that Nikolay made a thumbs up with the Fists, and bowed slightly as he turned towards Cynthia, who had something to say. And hell, that was... aggressive.
"Uhhhh... That's terrible.", Nikolay simply replied as he listened to Cynthia express her desire to hang someone from a flagpole on their underwear. Admittedly, he snickered at the thought of seeing Vane in such a humiliating position, but he forced it in as he answered the girl's question. "Well, my strength is completely relative to the amount of firepower my enemies throw at me. And electric boy Natty is strong, but he... well, he is unable to be precise with the usage of his abilities. I think he could cause a brown out if he went out of control. At least that is what he told me that one time. And, well I don't know if he'd like to hang someone from a flagpole. Nath is too... kind."
Nathaniel Gregorio
"Ah... well. This is a little.... hmm, awkward.", Nath thought as Hailey gave him a nice hug (to hell with the height difference). Most of the time, it was the boy that was supposed to be taller, so this felt a little off. Still, he was glad to be of service towards making someone else happy.
Right now, he was sharing a Subway Sandwich with Hailey. Actually, he had his own Subway... so technically this wasn't sharing, but rather, a donation. Henry looked like he was asking people to dinner though...
Nath tilted his head in slight confusion as Hailey began to weep in front of everyone, speaking as of how she had friends that actually treated her as a friend. It was really odd, even for him, whose eccentricity knew absolutely no bounds. He hadn't really seen someone cry in school before... not in front of everyone, at least. Sure, a friend of his cried for thirty minutes straight after finding out that he has been cheated on by his girlfriend (not to mention that she basically threw him away for a tall, handsome, and rich Swedish boy that she had just met a month before that)... and another friend wept in the canteen, but at least she decided to hide her unparalleled anguish by hiding under the lunch table while being hidden by Nath and the aforementioned boy that was cheated on and made into a rebound. What he was seeing right now was markedly different from what he had ever seen so far.
Still... he understood what she meant, and already had a theory as to why she seemed to be overwhelmed by the shows of kindness that everyone that she had met so far had given to her without ceasing. Henry gave her a... hmm, massive hug, Oscar was just being nice as always, and Nath himself was just... well, being himself. And maybe a little simpy. He liked her, after all, though he had little idea. Guess that this here is just destined to happen.
Fortunately enough, she started crying when he had offered her food in lieu with the coach's suggestion to eat. Maybe...
"Hey, hey... here now. We're all friends here, Hailey. Being nice to you is part of our job description, yeah?" He then held out his arms; an invitation to a hug. "We are here if you need some place to pour out... things, okay?"
Nikolay was still chewing on that pair of Stick-O's when Hailey began to weep tears of joy. And then Nathaniel, that little boy with those electric revolvers practically gave her the typical comforting phrase. He then replied to Oscar, making one of the Fists make a thumbs up while doing so. "I-i-i-indeed, lads. There will be a gooooood session today, mhmmmm.. yes. Yes. Indeed."
The boy paused, cursing to himself that he stuttered, again. He didn't like that he kept speaking in sentence fragments and stutters, as he had already nailed a few accents. It was like an ever present curse that hounded him whenever he was out in public. Fortunately, none of this was present when he was in private. Just like a dual personality...
Nikolay leaned on the wall, adjusting his glasses as they looked like they were really cloudy. He then put them back on just in time to see Cynthia come in. It looked like she she was looking for something... or someone.
"Ah, hey. Cynthia.", he called out to her as soon as the Germanic lady was within earshot. "You looking for something... or somebody?"
Oscar would be met by an aghast expression as he explained the American point of view when it came to asking people the sizes of their shoes. Nathan's mouth remained open as he stared at the other boy with utter shock and disbelief. "Oh... oh. Holy crap. That is what it meant...?" He put his hand on his forehead as he started to breath a little funny, wiping the sweat that had begun to form from the revelation that had come from Oscar's shocking revelation. "Oh, hell... thank God that you are the first American person that I asked that question to... huff... well, thanks for letting me, uh, latch on you for this long. Ha... I think I'll start running the laps."
With that, he stood up from using Oscar's shoulder and stretched his arms and legs in preparation for running a set of laps. "Hngggh. Much better." There was the sound of joints being stretched and popped as he straightened his back. After wiping his glasses on his jacket, he then walked out towards the runways in order to start his laps, though it would be rather noticeable that was stealing glances at Hailey as he did so. Nath, however managed to hear their PE teacher tell Hailey to eat, at which he had an idea. The best way to the heart was through the stomach, right?
"Hailey... um. I have... extra food in the bag. If you like... yeah."
Hah. What a simp.
Nikolay Ivushkin
It was at this moment that Nikolay arrived on the gym, walking in while chewing on a pair of Stick-O's. He came in just in time to hear Nath offer Hailey food, at which he snickered. "Ah hah. Typical... you're hopeless, you and I..."
He still wasn't extremely satisfied with his recent lunch, though, what with his body's metabolism being faster than normal people. His Fists shimmered into existence, handing him another pair of Stick-O's that he had been keeping in the pocket of his backpack in a paper bag. Nikolay then sent them away, biting on his food, perhaps in preparation for the calory burning that was the upcoming PE class.
The Russian sat down a little to the left from the trio that was sitting on the benches. Bored, he greeted them with a Scottish dialect. "Heya... good day to train, no?"
Astrad nodded as his superior, Agent Jaspher Sitwell (whom he called Jas inside his mind, thankfully Jasper did not have any telepathic abilities) issued orders to his station through the radio. Apparently, there were really no orders for any aircraft to pass through this airspace; this was in an area being used by SHIELD to search for two powerful assets being used by the squid heads in HYDRA after all. Still, it seemed odd that there were no sounds of engines or anything close to that sort; even cloaked Quinjets made a lot of noise when making a landing, so the three unidentified flying objects that had just landed must be some kind of stealth craft that have been optimized to touch down without being detected at all. But… they were detected on radar. Something isn't adding up. A lot of things were really out of place. Either way, Agent Lungren was going to follow his orders either way, but the oddness of the timing of their landing, the lack of engine sounds, and the fact that they were still detected on the radar made Astrad a little nervous. Inhumans and mutants were another possibility, as some of them have already been documented to possess the power of self powered flight, what with having wings and the ability to manipulate gravity.
Astrad proceeded to fulfil his orders, taking one last look at the monitors that were monitoring the area just to see that there was indeed no aircraft landing at all. Instead, there were three people, all of them women, dressed in mostly casual clothes. "Hm. Strange.", he thought to himself as he looked around. Ah, right. He did not have an ICER. Not the pistol variant anyway, as he has never been very good with closer ranged firearms anyway. He had good aim with rifles, sure, but he had no vantage point from which to aim his trademark rifle without startling the entire neighborhood. This will have to be taken with an entirely different approach. Who knows, these might even be SHIELD agents too, working in undercover just like himself… Maybe they just had a bad day and fell out of a plane?
He quickly went outside, dropping the cat on the floor as he pulled up his scarf. It didn't take Astrad long to get to the location of the landers; it was no less than a block away. The women were there, talking. Oddly enough, one of them looked like she had just vomited, as evidenced by the stain on the street. The people in the suburb were giving them weird looks. Perhaps because they just landed there without parachutes.
Deciding to use his own friendly nature, Astrad walked up to them, pretending to be a very helpful person. "Hey, hey, who just threw up?", he asked no one in the three in particular. "I have a lot of meds in the house…"
It was here that he tried to conjure ice chains, but instead he merely covered the ground with a layer of frost. Still, he adapted, and visibly showed ice beginning to form on his hands while showing the SHIELD badge that was set on his shirt inside his jacket. "I am agent Lungren of SHIELD, and you three have just flown over and landed without authorization. Identify yourselves or I will have three more popsicles for my fellow agents to load into the Fridge."
If the American boy had thought of the possibility of the question being a possible innuendo being directed towards him, Nath simply hadn't thought of it as one. Hell, he knew nothing about the convoluted innuendos and idioms of the West, so he just tilted his head at Oscar's answer, and took out his phone. "Oh, perfect.", Nathaniel replied to Oscar as he texted rather furiously, even though he was using only one of his thumbs. "My uncle that is living in America periodically sends a lot of stuff over here to the Philippines, you know, clothes and stuff. Heck, this jacket that I am using right now,", he said, "... is from California. He had to look over the children's section to get something that fitted me though, as... well, as you can see, you people tower over us."
He exhaled shortly, sending another round of texts. "My uncle asked me to get the shoe sizes of my friends and classmates so that I can give stuff out when my birthday comes around. He got really affluent in the States, you see. Perks of being married to someone in Hollywood, I guess."
Nath looked over at Hailey and Henry, and wondered at they were saying. "What did they say by the way? I don't know any German, hah... oh."
Was that a blush?
"I'm sorry... did I say something weird? Or... did I say something... wrong?"
By this time, it looked like Henry had Hailey's temporary episode of PTSD under... well, how should it be... under control. The height difference was a little unsettling to look at though, as Henry had a full foot over the girl that was already three inches higher than his good self, and it looked dlike he could reduce her to atoms if he squeezed her too hard. That looked very far from the case though, as his current proceedings seems to indicate him as a big friendly giant. Hell, he just have her a hug.
Oscar was still the hopeful boy that he has always been when Nath had confided that he had sort of an attraction for Hailey, and just said that he do what he likes. "Aw, thank you so much.", he whispered to the American's ear as he just lay his head there. Truly, there is no friend like Oscar. So nice. A literal radiator of hope.
"By the way, I should ask.", Nath said to Oscar as squeezed a little bit. "What's your shoe size?"
"Ah, thank you.", Nathaniel quietly said to Oscar as the much taller boy did not mind him using his shoulder, and adjusted himself just make him more comfortable. Nath looked over the distance, watching as Hailey ran her laps and spoke to Henry, who seemed to have some sort of business with Oscar and Jordan. He then wrapped his arms around Oscar's waist and lay his chin on the man's shoulder... it was a quaint little backhug that he liked to do. It was understood that this was simply his nature and not anything... else.
When Oscar answered that he wasn't into Hailey, Nath frowned a bit. "Oh... you blushed... though I could just be making assumptions. Haha. Well, that's a relief... because I'll admit that I am while you are not."
"Oh...", Nathaniel managed as Hailey began to tear up once Oscar touched her shoulder. She said something about the dread not being this bad... could it be that her Noble Arm was something that had a bad side effect on her mental health? She sure needs some comforting, but the kind of comforting that he was used to give wasn't really suitable for this time and place.
Either way, she went off her own way, running the laps like anyone else should. Nath just tilted his head as he watched her run and sprint, though he didn't take long to notice that Oscar had a slight blush while watching her. Could it be...
"You like her, don't you.", Nath privately whispered to Oscar as he walked behind the taller hybrid. Oscar was a very friendly boy, one can give him that, but to blush? Now that was something else.
Nath yawned, and then put his chin on top of Oscar's shoulder, though he was careful not to press. Oscar would have by this time experienced Nath's touchy-feeliness, perhaps more so than others who did as he was so nice. "Do you mind if I do...?"
Name: Nathaniel Dela Costa Ramon Aliases: Breacher, Agent Ramon, Natty, Big Crybaby, Sweet Babey, Revenger, Squidhead Chopper, Maroon Ninja, Unhinged Portaller, Zima, Lemons, and Adopted Child. Species: Mutate Powers: > Breach Portal: Breacher is capable of ripping open tears in space time, which he uses as portals to travel between two points as long as they are somewhere on Earth. However, he can also use these rifts for offensive and defense purposes, as if they close at just the right time, they slice through anything that hasn't successfully crossed over. He is able to use longitude and latitude coordinates for the rifts.
> Breach Blast: Breacher is able to fire blasts of dimensional energy from his hands against targets within line of sight. These are usually strong enough to knock back a fully grown adult human several feet in the air. They can also be set to set objects on fire upon impact. Age: 33 Nationality: American Birthday: December 2, 1987 Birth Place: Minneapolis, United States Gender: A Man S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy: Operations Qualification: As a former unwilling asset of HYDRA and a very street savvy man, he was an excellent fit for Operations. Years in the Field: Four years
Appearance
Height: 5'9" and 1/4 Weight: 78 kilograms Build: Ectomorphic Eyes: Grey Hair: Black (sometimes dyed either white or light brown) Skin Tone: Slightly tanned Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Some scars on his face due to being beaten a few times. Personal Style: Unlike most SHIELD personnel, who always have that black standard issue jacket, Nathaniel carries on the style that he had during his youth. He usually has a maroon leather jacket, a scarf, light red undershirt, grey pants, sneakers, and a beret. When out of duty, he wears casual clothing. This one depends on the weather.
Sexuality: Straight Relationship Status: Single Personality: Nathaniel Ramon is a pragmatic agent, much like Victoria Hand. However, while Hand sees fellow agents as expendable as long as the mission is fulfilled, Nathaniel sees the rest of the team as more than just friends; he considers SHIELD to be the only family he ever had in his adult life. He also has a witty sense of humour (some agents have likened him to Agent Coulson in this respect), though he differs in that he is snickering on his jokes quite often.
Unlike most men his age, Nath is open with what he feels, and is sometimes called a crybaby for that. However, when on a mission, it would be as if he is a stone as he is entirely focused on the task at hand. This, however, is just a facade, as he is merely putting his mind on the job to keep his attention away from the memories of the past. He is rather close to his fellow agents that he had known as his friends, and is described as 'sweet'. Habits: Nathaniel often puts his hands on his face whenever he is frustrated. He also often moves his head when talking. Hobbies: Tinkering with machinery; some say he could be in Sci-Tech if one goes by these skills with alone. Unfortunately, he has no formal education. Fears:
Going back to being alone.

History
Why did you want to become an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?:
Nathaniel joined SHIELD out of gratitude that they saved him from the brainwashing that HYDRA had put him through. He also says that there wasn't anything better for him to do in the world; after all, he'd rather leave the place that he had a lot of bad memories in and go out with purpose. SHIELD was the one organization that could accomodate a mutate that he trusted, so he's there now.
General History:
Details on the circumstances surrounding Nathaniel's birth are scant; all known records point towards him being found by a single mother on her doorstep in a low income neighborhood in Minneapolis as an infant. What was strange, though, was that it looked like whoever left him there ran out of baby clothes and just put him on clothes meant for a fully grown man. The single mother, Felicita Ramon, didn't care if the infant on her door looked like he abandoned maybe too hard; she knew that this child was now her responsibility. Life was hard, sure, but she wasn't about to abandon this little thing.
Nathaniel, for the first few years of his life, lived a hard one in Minneapolis' low income sector. Life sucked, and he resorted to selling water bottles, lollipops, and pens at an age of six just to scrounge enough money for the four members of his family to eat. He was only able to go to a public school, but he did do very well.
When Nath was 14 years old, his adopted mother died from a chronic illness. Lacking the funds to even buy medicine, she would have a painful deathbed, though all three of her children were there to keep her company. They later cremated her corpse, as there wasn't enough money for a casket, let alone a coffin. Because of this tragedy, Nathaniel's bright mind slumped, and he wasn't able to qualify for any scholarships that would have gotten him a good education as he was simply so devastated. He dropped out and ekked out on the streets until he was 23, when something powerful awakened inside him.
That power was of unknown origin; if one took a test, he would neither be Inhuman nor a Mutant, but rather, a Mutate. He gained the power to rip open tears in the fabric of reality, though he prefers to use their contemporary name: portals. With this ability, he became a very efficient thief in the streets, disappearing out of sight before anyone knew what happened.
Of course, this would not go unnoticed for long. HYDRA was eternally in a hunt for enhanced assets, and when they found out about a mutate that could make portals, the organization immediately sought him out. Taking a methodical approach, the HYDRA operatives stalked into his bedroom and injected Nath with tranquilizers, bringing him into their headquarters for "reeducation".
What followed was a terrible ordeal; Daniel Whitehall forced him to look into a screen of shifting colors without blinking, programming his mind to be far more open to suggestion and control through these words: "Take a deep breath. Calm your mind. You know what is best. What is best is you comply. Compliance will be rewarded."
Nathaniel resisted greatly, but just like all before, HYDRA swayed him unto their side. Through this, he was made into a dangerous HYDRA asset that was used repeatedly in assaults against SHIELD.
Nathaniel, however, was extraordinarily strong willed, and when confronted by a SHIELD agent inside a building, was able to mouth the words of "Save Me" before the Faustus took over again and made him flee back to HYDRA headquarters.
It was just in time for SHIELD to be ready for him, utilizing quantum disruptors designed by Leo Fitz to trap Nathaniel inside a single room. The SHIELD Agent that he had confronted earlier shot him with an ICER, allowing SHIELD to bring him into their custody.
After several months of detainment (though he was very much glad to stay there instead of HYDRA once he regained some semblance of self control), SHIELD's Sci-Tech division was able to completely purge the Faustus Programming from his brain, effectively freeing him from HYDRA's codes. It was there that he was offered the chance to become an Agent of SHIELD, and he accepted it without question.
Unknown to all, even to himself, Nathaniel Dela Costa Ramon is not his true name. He comes from another world in another time... (spoilers for AOS Season 5 are in this hider)
The truth is that his true name is Deke Shaw, and he comes from Earth-670 in the year 2091. In this other earth and time, the planet was torn asunder, allegedly by the power of the Inhuman agent known as Quake, but in truth, it was Glenn Talbot infused with Gravitonium that did, destroying the world as he sought for the extremely rare element. Nathaniel, or as he was known in his past life, Deke, lived as a scavenger in the Lighthouse, a massive underground bunker that was now host to the remnants of the human race and the Kree that enslaved them.
His life was a terrible one. When he was nine years old, his mother, the daughter of Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz, was dragged away and murdered by the Kree for being a person of remarkable intelligence and her belief that SHIELD agents from the past will come and liberate humanity from alien tyranny. His father, Owen Shaw, persisted in those beliefs despite his son's pleas to stop, and he would be banished to the surface, which was infested by an alien insectoid race called the Vrelnexxians.
Deke Shaw, however, was clever. He managed to uncover records that survived the erasure that the Kree had wrought upon humanity, and came across the concept of travelling through time. He then recalled what his mother had said about the curious white stone that she got from her parents - "This is the key of the tides of time."
He hadn't gotten far in his attempts to construct a time machine within a fragment of the Framework that he managed to get to work when those agents of SHIELD that were believed to be destined to come by his parents did arrive in the Lighthouse. In subsequent events, the Kree were expelled with the help of his good self and the Lighthouse residents, and Deke found himself attracted to Quake, aka Daisy Johnson, who was one of them, though she didn't feel the same way. The agents needed to return to the past, however.
While he did managed to help the agents return to the past, he was struck by a shard of the White Monolith while doing so; a stone that allowed time travel, and was sent back to the past to another timeline. In the process, however, he was turned to an infant, lost almost all of his memories, and was exposed to extradimensional energy, which in turn caused him to gain the power to open breaches in the fabric of reality. Now, he walks as an agent of SHIELD named Nathaniel Dela Costa Ramon, but little does anyone know that he is not of this world...
