"You knew Coulson was behind this project himself!" May shouted.
"Yes, I DID know," Sanchez said. "But even if I would, I couldn't tell it. That is how the rules work, and that's everything I have to say about it."
Sanchez went inside, and slammed the door behind her. Inside, Fitzsimmons and Skye were watching the news.
"Deathlock is still alive? Crap. That lightingbold should have killed him."
"I still can't believe you produced such a lightingbold," Simmons said. "That's scientiffically-"
"Simmons, the entire me is scientiffically impossible," Sanchez grinned. "But what's Deathlock doing in Bogota?"
"Why would he kill a drug lord with no ties to Hydra?"
"If they really are in Colombia, then Garrett and our Hijacked plane may not be in American airspace," Skye said. "We have to expand our search."
"He's not in Europe or Asia," Sanchez told them. "I would know that."
"Can't you just beam him to us or something?" Skye asked. "That would make everything way easier."
Sanchez started to laugh.
"If I did everything with my powers, the entire world would come to me, seeking help. So no. I only use them when I want to, or when I am commanded to."
"But why-"
"Gosh Skye, for the so maniest time, that are the rules," Fitz sighed. "I know you are used to break them, but she explained it plenty enough times. She just can't."
Someone knocked on the wall.
"Guys, you wanna come in here for a minute?"
Coulson called them in to the other room, where May was drawing on a board.
"This is just about everything we've been dealing with. And this connects them all," Coulson explained, pointing at the 'Hydra' part on the bord. "Cybertek built Deathlok, shipped items to Quinn, who was working for the Clairvoyant, who turned out to be Garrett, who planted Ward on our bus because he wanted to know why I didn't stay dead. Should have drawn another chart for this part."
"No, I get it," Fitz said. "Garrett has been developing Centipede's serum all this time."
"Yes."
"And he wants GH-325 as his final ingredient, a way to stabilise his soldiers," Simmons said.
"And it's why Ward came back for the harddrive, it had all of our research about Coulson and Skye. It's all on there."
"But it's not the only thing on there," Coulson explained. "Skye left them a little surprise."
"A trojan horse. It's been slowly mapping every system they've uploaded it to."
Fitzsimmons were all excited, and Sanchez grinnend.
"I bet it's as good as the siege of Troy. Can't forget the look on that one soldier's face when we took the city."
Everyone looked at her.
"Too soon?"
"But there's still a little problem," Coulson told them, ignoring their comment.
"I didn't have enough time to build it, so we need to plug this into one of their computers, to activate it," Skye said, pointing at them with an usb stick. "Spoiler alert, we can't seem to find one."
"I think we have," May said. "Garrett and Cybertech have been working together for years. If it's on Garrett's system-"
"It's on Cybertech's."
"Which is why we're going in into one of their offices," May continued.
"We have no authority to do this. We're no longer SHIELD agents. We're-"
"Vigilantes," Fitz said.
"I was gonna say, doing this because it's the right thing to do, but, yeah. So if you're with me, I'm gonna finish what I started. I'll be dammed if I'm gonna let Garrett and Ward get away with murder. And I want my plane back."
Sanchez laughed. "Couldn't have said it better myself. But, to act like a vigilante, there is one specific thing to do. Something very important."
"Which is what?" Simmons asked.
"Don't give a damn."

"Okay, we'll see you this afternoon."
Coulson did his Phone away, while he walked to the others at the pool.
"We're on with the R&D department up at Cybertek's Palo Alto offices," he told the others. Fitz leaned back in his chair, with a head like thunder.
"It'll be okay, Fitz," Skye said. "No matter how deep they dig, they'll only find the new identities I've created."
