"So, you're Katie. Right?" A female's voice broke Katie from her task of pouring coffee. She turned to the girl, who had a somewhat friendly smile on her face.

"That famous, huh?" Katie replied with, guard up at the new comer.

"I'm Rebecca Sitwell. Aaron's partner." She introduced, Katie shook her hand.

"Like, partner-partner. Or..." She trailed off. Rebecca let out a sigh of annoyance.

"Just partner." She answered, Katie nodded. "Can I ask you something?" the agent asked, Katie nodded again. "You and that guy in there. There anything going on between you or?" Katie let out a small chuckle and shook her head.

"Nah, never really been interested in any of that. I don't really think Aaron is either. You?" Katie looked to the girl in question, a more relaxed posture being adopted, now leaning against the counter.

"I'd go for it. But, him? Not my type." Sitwell's answer made Katie nod, trying to take her brother's advice and try to make a friend. After spending a few days on the base, it had been quiet from her and mainly odd looks from people. Mainly spending it with Aaron, who was either in his room or with Skye in Lincoln's medical room.

"Can I ask you something now?" Katie received a nod, "Can you tell me about Aaron's team. Like, those in there. I know Skye. But, the others?"

Rebecca only pointed to the man first, who stood next to a girl. Both the same height. "That's Fitz. Or his preferred name. Scottish. Engineer. Friendly guy. Girl next to him is Simmons. Bio-tech. They are attached at the hip. And tight. Call them Fitzsimmons mainly. Simmons is the doctor of the team. Fitz is her backup there. They're kind of like the older siblings of the group if you were to look it at from a family dynamic. They all spent nearly a year together. But, those four seemed to click fast. Especially Skye and Fitzsimmons.

Then there's May. Stoic in looks and tone. But, she cares, deep down she does. You can guess her role in the group. She flew the BUS. The thing you were on. Then there's Coulson. The leader of that whole unit. Anything else you want to know?" Sitwell's question wasn't judgemental. If anything, it was a soft tone. But Katie shook her head anyway, not wanting to look like she was trying to pry into her brother and sister's life. Even if deep down she did.

"Two people that you should know about, though. Bobbi and Hunter. Perfect example of a relationship which always seems to bounce back. They seemed to have become the driving force for Aaron. They fit ok together. Still, though, just thought that you should be aware." Sitwell informed her, Katie nodded at the wealth of information.

Rebecca handed the older girl her mug, which she took with a small smile. "Anyway. It was nice to meet you Katie." Sitwell said as she looked at her phone. And gave a small wave before she left. Barely hearing the "You too" that came as a quiet reply from the other enhanced individual.

"Hey guys, Kara." Sitwell greeted as she entered the lab, gaining smiles from all three.

"Your brain scan looks rather normal, considering." Simmons informed Kara as she looked at the tablet. Kara took off the monitor thing off her head.

"What does that mean?" Kara asked.

"Well, you'll still have some memory gaps, obviously. But, any trace of the HYDRA indoctrination that effected your actions is gone. Your minds your own again." Simmons explained. Kara smiled at the two.

"Thank you, both of you. Honestly, knowing that Bakshi's gone helped more than anything. You know as well as I do what kind of monster he was." Rebecca didn't fail to notice the looks shared between Fitzsimmons.
