Chapter 5: Into Area 51

🦋Chapter 5: Into Area 51🦋

Coulson slowed down before stopping the car, a soldier then approached Coulson's side as he lowered the window. There's no turning back now. 

"Can I see some I.D., please?" One of the soldiers inquired. 

Coulson flashed a smile as he handed him Sharpe's identification. The soldier then inspected the identification. After what felt like hours to me, the soldier returned the identification to him, giving him a nod.

"All right, go right ahead." He announced.

With that, Coulson made his way towards the base. Once we parked, Coulson, Jemma, and I walked out of the car, where we were greeted by a lieutenant. Coulson immediately flashed Sharpe's identification, knowing the drill.

"Gerald Sharpe. Sorry I'm late. Roads all look the same out here." Coulson apologized, wearing a sheepish smile.

"It happens. Welcome, sir." The lieutenant greeted, giving him a smile. He then glanced down at a list he carried in his hands. "You are on our visitor list, but...your secretaries are not."

He then looked over at Jemma and me. I grimaced. All right, Jemma, work your magic. I hope this works if not we're all doomed. Coulson wore an amused smile as he turned to face Jemma, who was searching for identification card in her purse.

"Oh. She's not my secretary. She's my boss." Coulson corrected.

Jemma then took out her card, showing it to the lieutenant as she flashed him a smile. "I think you'll agree I don't need to be on the list. And as for her, she is with me."

I then took out my identification card out to show the man. Jemma immediately cut me off. "You don't have to show him anything, Miss Strange."

Damn, she's taking advantage of playing this role, but it was necessary. She had to sell it or we would all end up in prison or worse...The lieutenant's eyes widened in shock, quickly realizing his mistake, wearing a smile, letting out a nervous chuckle.

"Right. Sorry, ma'am. It's an honor." The lieutenant mentioned before looking over at me. "It's a pleasure to meet you, too, Miss Strange. Uh, right this way, Ms. Carter."

With that, the lieutenant flashed us another smile before he walked ahead, leading us into the base. Coulson wore an amused look as he glanced over at Jemma. "You're enjoying this way too much, Peggy."

Jemma only responded with a smile that grew bigger. Oh she is definitely enjoying this. With that, Jemma, Coulson, and I made our way onto the base, which was huge, containing many buildings. Once we were led into a lab, the lieutenant left us. We were then greeted by a scientist, who introduced himself as Dr. Vega.

The man wore a suit along with a lab coat and thick rimmed glasses. He then led us into the giant lab filled with control panels and tables with all sorts of different inventions.

"Behold...your taxpayer dollars at work. I like to think of this lab as a womb, and we are birthing the future. Jet propulsion, space travel, and, of course, beating the Russians." Dr. Vega announced.

I looked around in awe and fascination. The scientist in me is internally screaming in excitement. There were several scientists in lab coats, wandering around, attendting to the countless old machines here. Jemma looked around, also in awe.

"I always dreamed of seeing this place." Jemma blurted out.

Vega furrowed his brows. "We're only a couple of years old."

I grimaced. Oh dear. Coulson and I exchanged a worried look. Before we could utter a word, Jemma looked at a bulky watch behind Vega with an antenna. She raised an eyebrow, pointing to it. "Is that a..."
