S.H.I.E.L.D : Genesis

Chapter Four : Angelus Mortis

Robbie stepped into the arena, the weight of his black ring grounding him as he faced Octavius. The crowd roared, but all he could hear was the pounding of his own heart. Octavius stood across from him, a smirk plastered on his face, energy fields already crackling around him.

Above them , Director Coulson, Daisy Johnson, President Hansen, and fitz-simmons stood above the arena, their eyes fixed on the two figures below. The air was thick with anticipation, and the tension was almost palpable.

"President Hansen, thank you for joining us," Coulson began,
"I am pleased to have you on board with our new programs for the young inhuman generation."

"I am glad to be able to assist with this as well Director , but discussing that isn't the reason I came today " Replied the president his gaze shifting , from the two boys in the arena below prepping to director coulson and the other shield agents beside him.

"We need to discuss Robbie's capabilities. We have already seen his extreme intellect, I mean he has a 4.5 gpa and as we are all aware created the most advanced and sophisticated Ai system ever seen , that only he has access to , Not to mention we only really have a general idea of what his power scaling is ."

Daisy nodded, her gaze never leaving Robbie. "Robbie possesses molecular manipulation abilities, but the full extent of his powers remains uncertain. He wears a black ring that helps control these abilities. However, there's a lot we don't know about his potential. I mean the only time we've seen any hint of his power was years ago , when collapsed that mountain"

President Hansen furrowed his brow, clearly troubled. "That's quite concerning. How much do we know about his control over these powers?"

"Honestly, not much," Daisy admitted, her voice tinged with a hint of regret. "I left Robbie when he was just five. Lillian has raised him since then, so she knows far more about his abilities and his control over them."

Just then, Lillian, who had been standing quietly nearby, stepped forward. "Robbie rarely uses his powers for anything beyond daily convenience," she said, her tone sharp. "He hates using them because they remind him too much of you, Daisy, but most of all he fears them and what he could do upon using them too much."

Daisy's face tightened, but she kept her focus on the arena. "We need to proceed with caution and gather more information until we know exactly what he can truly do. "

Lillian snorted a laugh before looking back at Daisy " And there you go again treating him like some problem that needs to be fixed rather than ..."

"Enough" interrupted Coulson, his tone stern .

Coulson then nodded back at the President , who continued his thoughts.

"Understandably we need to ensure that Robbie's abilities are monitored closely. If he has untapped potential, it could be a significant asset or a major risk. Daisy, you are in charge of the inhuman development program , what do you think?"

"I Agree," Daisy said, her voice firm. "We'll continue to monitor him and try to gain his trust to better understand his capabilities. For now, we should assume there's more beneath the surface that we haven't seen yet."

"Thank you, Daisy," Coulson said. "President Hansen, we'll keep you updated on any developments. It's crucial we handle this delicately."

"Absolutely," President Hansen replied, his gaze shifting to the arena below. "Keep me informed. We need to be prepared for any eventuality."
