"So, let's set some ground rules. Firstly you may call me either Liutenant, mam, miss or for the code name Quake. I call the shots, approve missions or tactics  and decide on everything. We don't want to have any casualties, so no shooting without my command, understood?"

Ward just smilled at her.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing. Just you being called those silly names. I think Skye is much nicer. Also you are very bossy"

"Thank you for the comment I didn't ask for. You call me like everyone else does and that's it. What should I call you? I've got a couple of ideas: Robo man, Robot, Stoick.." 

He stopped her as she rambled on: "Ward is just fine"

"You don't like your name? I think Grant is nice"

"Ha ha, very funny. No, Ward will do."

"Fine. Ward it is. Now, follow me. We are going to meet the team."
She led him through a maze of hallways, stairs and elevators until she reached glass, yet blureed door on the end of the hallway on level 4.

"An office? Fancy" he remarked. She just ignored him and went in. There  a unit of about 20 people waited for her in a line, all suited up in their mission uniforms. However, not all of them had the same. About 5 people there wore just a simple black combat uniform, armed with guns and nives. The rest had tighter suits, simmilar to Skye's, that had a marking on their left shoulders. A symbol of...red fireworks? Must sybolize the gifted because he has noticed the same marking on Skye's uniform, right next to her star, that sybolized the leader.

"I see you have noticed we have a mixed group here. Good. As you see these 6 are a gift to me from the Supreme Specialist, Agent May, as are you now. The best special ops specialists we have here. You 7 have been selected to aid my unit in a special mission. Your task - to protect us. Meanwhile, my unit, small, but mighty, will do the main task - retrive the target. Madam Hydra her self has selected this team herself to do this. Our target is a high value asset to us that has escaped our custody. This mission has to go smoothly, or a building is going down on all of us."

Everyone understood right away their assignment. The mission came from the very top of the organization meaning there was no place for mistakes.

"We have 24 hours starting now to prepare. Inform yourselves on who you're working for, who is the enemy, who is the target, what is your task. Now go! Ward, you stay."

When her office doors closed, she motioned him to sit down on one of the chairs by her conference table.

"You seem to be the top dog indeed Liutenant" he noticed. "A huge office, a nice size of a special unit, getting the best from the top..."

"The perks of being loyal to the cause" she smilled at him. "As I am to understand this mission is really important to you, it is your final test for HYDRA"

"Yes, mam"

"I've seen you in action even before you came here. I might have not seen you in person, but boy did SHIELD need to protect their files better. I guess, it did, just not enough for Madam Hydra bot to get in"

"Well, it was their downfall. They are too old school for a modern agency"

"True. I have personally selected you to protect me. Don't flatter yourself, because that is just a procaution to keep a closer eye on you. If you want to be a part of us, you better keep all the bullets off of me.

"Will do mam. As I have previously stated, I love being one of the top dogs. If that is the closest I'll get to fulfilling that desire of mine, than I'll do it with a high dedication and motivation."
