~Winter's pov~

"Eight dead, six of them Navy" Trip told us.

"All a part of an anti-Hydra unit" May added.

"Any idea what was used to carry out the attack?" Hunter asked.

"Nope, but the effects appear similar to those from the Obelisk" Skye said.

"Great" I said sarcastically.

"Which we must assume is in Hydra's possession" May said, continuing from where Skye left off and we walked into Coulson's office "Heard back from your Navy contact?"

"Radio silence" Coulon answered.

"Any chance we could find a way in? Maybe poke around a bit?" Skye asked.

"Entire fleet's closing ranks. These were their men, no one other than the CDC, Navy's top brass are setting foot in that room"

"Ok, then, that's a dead end" Hunter pointed out.

"What about Agent Simmons?" Trip asked "She's inside Hydra. Any chance she has some intel?"

"Still waiting for her to make contact" He replied.

"Sir? What is that?" Skye asked looking at his desk.

"Uh, just sketches...if the Obelisk is back in play, we need to know what this writing means, any process on your end?"

"I put some feelers out to my Rising Tide contacts about the painting we recovered in Miami, and no one has seen anything like it" Skye replied.

"Keep looking. Something will turn up"

"What about the writings you've been giving me? Why don't you tell me your source and I'll follow up?"

"I'm afraid that's classified"

"Well, you're the boss man, maybe you could declassify it?" I asked.

"I could. I won't" He told me.

"Why not?" Skye asked.

"I already answered the question, Skye" He said.

"No, you didn't. You skirted it, there's a difference"

"Then it's difference I'm comfortable with," he said stepping closer to her "but if you continue questioning my authority, then you and I are gonna have a very different conversation. One you will not be comfortable with. Is that clear?"

"Yes, sir" She said and turned around and walked out.

"Still nothing" Hunter said, sat across from me

"Still nothing" Hunter said, sat across from me.

"Copy that" May answered.

"Yeah, I know you said the same thing 5 minutes ago" I told him, he rolled his eyes.

"Incoming at four clock" May said.

"The tiny girl in the flower dress?" Hunter asked "That's who everyone's making such a fuss about?"

"I was worried you weren't going to accept my invitation...but perhaps I wasn't the only one looking forward to our next meeting" I heard Riana say.

"Is she hitting on him?" I asked, Hunter nodded.

"Yep" Skye answered.

"That's what she does" May added.

"You implied there was something urgent to discuss so here I am. Either way, you're gonna give me what I want" Coulson told her.

"You've changed. Agent Coulson"

"Might just be circumstance, considering last time you had me strapped into your little memory machine"

"I was only trying to help"

"You wanna help?" Coulson asked "Tell me where to find the Obelisk"

"I'm afraid it's out of my hands, that really doesn't work for me, I've seen what that thing can do, it's too dangerous to be out in the real world"

"You've only seen the beginning. Just because something's powerful doesn't make it dangerous"

After a long conversation between, Hunter got up from the table and walked over to them and sat at their table

...

"If you ask me, Coulson let you off easy" Hunter told Riana opening the door for her.

"I didn't ask" She replied and started to walk away.

"Good luck out there, love"

"I don't think she likes you" I pointed out.

"Hm, weird, normally-" He started.

"Yes, I've heard your 'magnetism thing'" I told him.

"It's true"

"It's not" I teased.

~Time Skip~

"You want drinks?" Hunter asked as we walked through the hangar door.

"Yeah, the wine at that place was not good, I just don't like wine" I replied, we walked into the common room and Bobbi was stood there talking to Mack.

"Bobbi?" Hunter asked.

"Hey, Hunter. Nice suit" She replied.

"Nice suit? Really? That's what you're leading with?" He asked "What did you do to your hair?"

"Ever heard of undercover?" Bobbi asked.

"I prefer you blonde"

"Well, I didn't do it for you. Two seconds in, there's already a tone"

"This isn't a tone, this is my speaking voice when I'm upset with an unreasonable person!" Hunter exclaimed "Anyone mind telling me what the bloody hell she's doing here?"

"Bobbi's one of our best agents" Coulson told him.

"Oh, that's rich. Then mind telling me what I'm doing here?" Hunter asked.

"That's easy. I vouched for you. And her"

"Why the hell would you do that?" Hunter exclaimed.

"Play nice" Coulson told Hunter and walked away.
