"Alright, we're almost done. You got anyone else to think of?" Daisy asked Aaron, who leant against the table, watching the screen with a few SHIELD logos. They were Inhuman assets that they were warning.

"Not anyone I can think of, no." He said. Daisy nodded, continuing to go through her own list.

"If our friends in Calgary could take asset 63d948 that'd be better. She's gonna need a cold climate. And remember the relocation data is for SHIELD eyes only. So, if you get any pushback you know where to find me." Daisy was finishing with the agent by the time the Director arrived. "Copy that, Agent Johnson." The agent replied with a smile before the call was hung up.

"Inhuman relocation?" The Director asked as he entered the room, facing the two agents. "The people who wanna kill them have the Darkhold. So, we have to assume that every inhuman is a potential target."

"Senator Nadeer is gonna fight us on this. The Sokovia accords give her a right to their location."

"That's why we have you. To cover for them and us. We can do this. But, politics. Uh uh." Aaron said as he walked over to the man with a folder filled with the calls he would have to make throughout the day. "Good luck." He patted the Director's back before he left the room.

"Details are scarce, but it appears that Senator Ellen Nadeer's office was ground zero in an explosion that looked deliberately set. Many are asking if Nadeer's outspoken anti-Inhuman stance made her a target. Currently there are no suspects, but the FBI...." The reporter on the TV said. Apparently, this war with Nadeer had come to an end.

"Could it be possible, could an inhuman do this?" The Director asked the two inhuman agents, looking to them for an answer. "No way, they've all been accounted for by us." Daisy responded with.

"We can't account for the Inhumans we don't know about or their sympathisers." Fitz brought up. "C'mon you guys, this is just another set up. Nadeer's furious about the relocation. And she wants people to be riled up against Inhumans." Daisy argued.

"But would Nadeer go so far as to bomb her own office?" Jemma asked. "Trust me, she's gonna show up on the news. Having just missed the blast and she's going to pin that on SHIELD. It's what she does." Daisy countered with.

"Daisy." Both Aaron and the Director pointed at the TV as the reporter continued.

"We're just getting confirmation from the FBI that we have four confirmed casualties. And one positive identification. We are sad to confirm that Senator Ellen Nadeer, leader in the anti-Inhuman movement. Is among the dead." She confirmed.

"Ok, well we can't be too sad. She did try and have you killed." Daisy attempted to justify it. "She could've been brought to justice. Now we won't get that chance." The Director replied to Daisy, turning to the others. "But it's not too late to do the right thing. Grab what you need, it's time to show the world what SHIELD stands for."

"I don't know what you guys hope to accomplish waltzing in here with that logo on your jackets. But it's bad for all of us. And especially with you being back here." The FBI agent said as she walked them to the room of the bombing, the last bit being directed at Aaron. Who only rolled his eyes. It was weird being back, and doing this with a large team. With these people. Then again, he was given a badge, he was SHIELD again.

The Director was then approached by some journalists. Whose questions all blended into one noise. The Director held up the tape for the others. "Thank you." Aaron said as he went under the tape. "You said you wanted to show the world what SHIELD stands for?" She asked the Director; her point being made clear. "Well, I was hoping by solving this thing." The Director argued. "We got this." Daisy assured, going under the tape. Aaron gave the man a nod, giving him the same message. The man gave him a smile. A genuine one, "I have no doubt that you will." Aaron nodded one more time before joining the others in the room.
