Chapter 12: Chapter 12

16 Months Later

A video was playing of a hooded man falling from a window into the street with a woman in his grasp, "The secret is out. For decades, your organization stayed in the shadows, Hiding the truth. But now we know... they're among us. Heroes... and monsters. The world is full of wonders. We can't explain everything we see. But our eyes are open. So what now? There are no more shadows for you to hide in. Something impossible just happened. What are you going to do about it?"

Naruto smirked looking up to Fury and Maria, "She's baiting you."

"Hn." Fury grunted as he took the tablet, "I didn't call you here for that."

"Then what am I here for?" Naruto asked only for a folder to be handed to him, with a raised eyebrow Naruto speed read the file and as the last page flipped over he was frowning at Nick, "You revived Coulson."

"Project T.A.H.I.T.I. was a S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 9 project ordered by me and overseen by Agent Coulson. It involved the harvesting of an alien corpse for medicinal purposes. The tangible results were only to be used if an Avenger had died. I considered Coulson just as important, so I put the project in action after Coulson was killed by Loki during the Attack on the Helicarrier.

"This serum, GH.325 has the effect of completely regenerating cellular tissue and implanting fragments of cellular memory of the host to the receiver." Maria said bringing up a video of the serum, "Six S.H.I.E.L.D. agents with terminal illnesses were chosen by Coulson to be participants in the project. After each was injected with GH.325, their ailments ceased. However, before Coulson could sign-off their release, the patients began showing signs of insanity which included writing in symbols. Coulson conferred with Doctor Goodman, suggesting ending the program and destroying the alien specimen. Goodman adamantly disagreed; she suggested that the genetic memory of the alien was implanting itself onto the patients, so the Memory Overwriting Machine could be used to scrub the brains and give the patients new lives."

"So Phil is a walking corpse with no idea?" Naruto asked getting a nod

"I have a mission for you." Nick said causing Naruto to scoff

"I'm not a S.H.I.E.L.D agent."

"You will be paid. Coulson has been going stir crazy so I have given him a team that he thinks he put together. Melinda May assembled the team of agents to keep an eye on Coulson's recovery and tackle the cases that had not been classified yet. The team will consist of Coulson, Melinda May, Grant Ward a specialist to put down Coulson if necessary, Leo Fitz a technician to reprogram Coulson's brain, and Jemma Simmons to repair Coulson's body. I want you there to make sure these agents won't have to follow through on their tasks."

Naruto frowned as he looked to the photo of Phil, "I don't agree with this, but Phil is a friend, so I will help him in anyway I can." he said getting a nod

Nick was about to speak when in a cloud of smoke a scroll appeared in Naruto's hands that he spread out, "Prick your fingers and place your hand on the seal." Naruto said causing Nick and Maria to raise an eyebrow as Naruto bit his thumb and put blood on his fingers before placing a hand on a seal that glowed

"Why?" Nick asked

"This is how all my contracts are sealed." Naruto said before with a sigh Nick grabbed a letter opener and pricked his fingers before he placed his hands on the other seal

The two removed their hands as the seal glowed and slowly the terms of the mission began to appear in their blood, "Now as per the terms I won't be able to tell Phil about any of this, and while I work alongside your new agents I will only use the abilities that I am known for under my Godspeed persona. You will not be able to change the contract, and soon as Phil learns about what has happened to him, the contract will be ended." Naruto said getting a nod from Nick as the scroll snapped shut and vanished in a cloud of smoke, "Let's get started." Naruto said
