~Winter's pov~

Me and Hunter were running through the forest, as we run behind a small hill of dirt "Malick's convoy heading our way" I told him.

"I really should stretch before running" Hunter groaned well I checked my back pockets.

"Wait, where's the...i thought i had it" I muttered.

"Ah, being cooped up in a jet isn't exactly conducive to blood flow" Hunter told me.

"Where's the target designator?" I asked.

"Oh. here. I got it. Here you go, love" Hunter said, and passed me the device.

"Bird to Zephyr, painting target. Do you copy?" i said into my earpiece, as i scanned the two car driving passed.

"Copy that, Bird" Fitz said through my earpiece "Target's lit. we're tracking now...ok, it looks like Malick's convoy's heading for this decommissioned power plant about 30 kilometers away...Zephyr to Bird we have Malick's convoy, I can guide you to them, but you're gonna need some transport. Will that be a problem?" i looked over to Hunter, as he dragged a soldier out a car.

"No, i think we're good" I answered.

"Chop-chop" Hunter said, i got up and walked over to him.

~Time Skip~

It was dark out, as me and Hunter were behind another small dirt hill as we could see the power plant "Zephyr, we're in sight, but no visuals on the target can we get thermals?" I asked into my earpiece.

"Yep," Fitz answered. "We've got eyes on you, Bird, but we can't see inside the plant. The internal lining must be blocking thermal or ground-penetrating radar. They're hiding something"

"Malick's SUV is inside" Hunter said looking through the spyglass "Parked in the loading-bay area, along with several military vehicles. Must be their base of operations during construction" and passed me the spyglass.

"They've wiped out almost 30 square kilometers of forest just to make room for this place. You wonder why the planet's dying" Fitz replied.

"You got that right, mate" Hunter agreed "You and Jemma watch that documentary i mentioned?"

"Oh, yes! The one about the Amazon? It-" Fitz started.

"And you'll talk about it later. We need eyes and ears down there. Malick told me point-bank he's putting together an Inhuman army, so he's either here to add more soldiers or to set up shop" Coulson told us.

"Copy that, if we're gonna infiltrate, a surveillance package would help" I said and looked through the spyglass.

"And guns. Don't forget those" Hunter added.

"I'll send a backup team your way" Coulson told us.

"If we can get to Malick, have we got the green light?" Hunter asked.

"You want to assassinate a former member of the World Council on Russian soil, knowing that if we get caught or our actions are tied to the Us Government in any way" Coulson started as i continued to look through the spyglass "That it'll be considered an act of war?"

"So, you're saying?"

"Pretty sure that's gonna be a no" Fitz spoke up.

"It's a big no" Coulson told Hunter "Find out what Malick's up to and get back to me and keep a low profile"

"Copy. Over and out" I said and turned off my earpiece. I continued to look through the spyglass as I could see Hunter looking at me out of the corner of my eye, I moved the spyglass down and looked at him "Hi"
