The three of us walk down to the lab, Jemma was already standing up the table. Skye and I go to sit down, she opens the communication logs and starts reading. Fitz pulls something up on the screen, it looked like the thing Coulson had picked up earlier.
"Gravitonium. It's an extremely rare, high-atomic numbered element" Fitz tells us as he has his hands on his hips
"That powers the device. So extremely rare that most people didn't believe it existed, much less the theory that an isolated positive charge" Simmons finishes what Fitz was saying
"Yeah, would turn the slow from isotopic" Fitz starts moving his finger in a circle but was cut off "Guys? High school dropout here. How was the device work again?" Skye asks them and I smile, I wasn't really understanding a word they were saying either
"Well, gravitonium distorts gravity fields within itself, causing an undulating, amorphous shape." Jemma says as she moves closer to the screen
"Which causes, these, um wiggly bits here. But when an electric current is applied, the gravitonium solidifies. And those gravity fields erupt" Fitz starts demonstrating with his hands "randomly changing the rules of gravity around it. Well, so, now you can imagine what would happen to a big rig at 100 kilometers per hour." Fitz jogs over to his desk and sits down "Or you... Well, you could just remember, cause we saw it already, didn't we?" He says still sitting at his desk, Jemma, Skye and I stay at the table. Skye starts flipping through the logs
"Yeah, and guess which genius published every theory about gravitonium and possible applications? Years ago." Jemma says as she gets closer to Skye and I
"Doctor Franklin Hall." I say as I put my elbows on the table and Jemma stares at me
"Yes" "Correct." Fitz-Simmons say
"And Dr. Hall attended the University of Cambridge at the same time as Ian Quinn." Fitz starts typing
"Coulson may be off in this. Quinn is a notoriously good guy. His charity endowment's something like $8 billon." Skye tells the three of us
"Yes. With the money made from leeching the Earth of its resources. Looks like he's dug up another." Simmons tells Skye as she moves from the table. The two of them start working on different things and Skye starts reading the logs, I walk upstairs to find Coulson, May and Ward in one of the comm rooms
"Could you get the other three?" Grant asks me and I turn and start walking back to the door, I yell from the railing "Guys, Come up here." I turn around and make my way back to them and I stand by Coulson. Fitz-Simmons made their way up but it takes Skye a moment so Coulson just starts talking "The man's a prisoner, and it's up to us to get him out."
I see Skye make her way into the room with us "We've checked the specs. There's no way into Quinn's compound without a large S.H.I.E.L.D strike force or a man inside. He's got neodymium laser fencing surrounding the property." Ward says as he makes his way over to stand by me
"They'll never allow a strike force into Malta." I say crossing my arms
"Plus, This weekend Quinn Worldwide's got its annual shareholders' gathering. We'd risk global outrage. But" Coulson says "If we go in alone" May starts from beside him "S.H.I.E.D can disavow us, claim ignorance." Coulson finishes
"Without a man inside, it's impossible. Unless you're immune to pulse laser emissions." May says as she leans on the table in front of us and Ward starts looking at me
"If we had a monkey we could get in." Fitz tells us and I couldn't help but smile at him
"Oh. Fitz!" Jemma throws her hands up that were resting on her neck
"If we had a small monkey, he would slip through the sensors. and disable the fence's power source with his adorable little hands." Fitz tells us and he wasn't wrong, it sounded like a good idea rather than the whole monkey part
"I could go in." I say "I just need an to get an invitation" I look over to Skye
"To restate, any agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. caught on Maltese soils came be shot death with bullets. Legally." Jemma tells me and Fitz sneaks in a quick yeah agreeing with her
"Not me. I could go in." I tell her the last time I was in Malta I wasn't an agent for S.H.I.E.L.D
"Wait. What are you saying?" Coulson asks me
"Coulson, Trust me. I can go in without breaking these laws." I tell her and he puts his hands in his pockets
"This isn't something we can just trust you on." Ward looks up at me and I can't blame them for not agreeing
"Did you hear the deadly lasers part? Without a brave monkey" Fitz starts
"Lasers are the less of my problems, that's actually monkey work to get past." I tell Fitz cutting him off "We need a man inside" I say
"And you wanna be that man?" May says
"This is child's works for me, I can do it. Dr. Hall needs help." I tell them, I was hurt by Mays comment. I've been doing this stuff since I was a child, seven years old.
"I've got her an invitation" Skye says from the corner of the room holding her phone up, all of us look at her "Well, technically it's an e-vite." She rolls her eyes sarcastically and all of them look back to me.
It was an understanding that I was going to go in, May left to go fly the plane, Coulson and Grant go upstairs to the office, Skye and Fitz-Simmons stay upstairs working. I went down to the cargo hold to just think by myself for awhile, I hadn't done something like this in a while not after joining S.H.I.E.L.D. I was always with a team, this all brought me back to when I was a teenager. It never leaves your mind. I was standing alone when I felt someone come up behind me with a gun to my back, somehow I knew it was Grant. I back into him fast, I grab his hand and I twist his thumb, pull the barrel removing the gun out of his hand and drawing it at him. He just looks at me seriously.
"Why are you doing this?" He asks me, I was genuinely confused as I lower the gun
"What do you mean? This is what agents do, I'm trying to save someone. Why does no one believe in me to do that?" I ask him giving him the gun back and crossing my arms
"You need muscle memory. You wouldn't have us to help you." He says to me backing up from me, I know what he was getting at. I would always have someone with me for back up, he did it all alone.
"I don't need any of you to help me. What happened to "yeah people are saying you're going to be the next back widow"? You don't know anything that I've done." I tell him my accent came out completely, I was pretty offended and he just stares at me
"What have you done, Lynn?" He asks me moving closer, I can't tell him anything but somehow it felt like he already knew.
"I have way more experience than any of you can imagine. Maybe I don't have a nickname to go along with it or a reputation like you but without people knowing it makes me stronger." I look up to him
"I'm just trying to protect you. I had a brother who beat the crap out of me. Me and my little brother. For nothing. For eating a piece of his birthday cake. I had to learn to protect us like I'm trying to do right now." He tells me, he got quiet "That was my moment. I heard you telling Skye about yours." He adds still standing close to me
"So you know I didn't just decide to be an agent out of the blue, I've done this stuff before, I can do it again." I tell him and he just nods at me, we just stared at each other for awhile
"Getting the gun is one thing but pulling the trigger, that is another." He backs up from me and holds the gun up
"Grant, I know. I don't need a gun to kill someone." I tell him but I probably shouldn't have said it, It was too late anyways. Again he just nods. I wasn't too sure how that was anymore.
