Chrome - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Fanfiction

Shocked

Ever since Fitz finished your little machine, you've been focused on perfecting your powers. At first it was pretty simple working one side of the tetrahedron at a time, but as time passed he encouraged you to challenge yourself and try doing different things at the same time. Overtime, you learned to activate every single side, but you still needed practice turning and off certain combinations. You were working so hard, you didn't notice the impending footsteps from the hallway outside.

"April?" Your concentration was disrupted by a Agent Coulson poking his head through the doorway. You jumped at his sudden intrusion and nearly dropped the little contraption. You turned to look at Phil, a look of irritation plastered across your face. He simply smiled and beckoned for you to come with him. "A word, please."

You hurriedly put the little machine down and followed the Director outside.

"I've been watching you work," He said to you as he paced.

"Ah. Not creepy." You remarked.

"I'm a spy. It's what I do." He continued as he led you down the hallway. "It's also what you'll be doing." He kept his eyes ahead, not even facing you as he spoke. You on the other hand, were starting at him with narrowed eyes and furrowed brows.

"I'm not following."

"I think you're ready for the field," He said cooly. Finally he met your eyes. He seemed to notice the look of confusion and terror on you face and quickly added, "Well, kind of."

This didn't do much to calm you down. "What does that mean?"

"It means... Meet your new SO." Coulson said as he led you into a room where someone was already waiting inside.

"Fitz?" You said as your eyes grew wide.

"The one and only." He smirked.

You rolled you eyes, "And he's humble too."

"Very funny." Fitz said sarcastically.

"You'll be joining the team on missions." Coulson informs you.

This time, Fitz sees the look of trepidation and quickly interjects, "Don't worry, you won't actually be in the middle if the action. Just sort of helping from the sidelines."

"Isn't that basically what I do now?" you ask.

"Yes, but this time, you'll be a teeny bit closer to the action ." Fitz said.

"Right now, when you're controlling them, your powers can reach all technology in a radius of about five hundred metres." Coulson said as he made his way to his desk.

"I know this." You furrowed your brows.

"When we found you - even though you couldn't control it - the radius was about five miles." Fitz enlightened you.

Suddenly, realisation dawned on you. Five Miles!?
"Didn't know that," You remarked quietly.

"From now on you'll be training everyday. With Fitz to gain more control of your technopathy, and with May to work on your combat skills." Agent Coulson said from behind his desk.

"Fantastic. I'm going to be thrown to the floor every day of the week." You said with every drop of sarcasm you could muster.

Fitz chortled, "You told me you did aikido since you were five."

"Yeah, but I'm pretty sure May came out of the womb punching and kicking." By this point, you had your arms crossed.

"You'll be okay. She'll be gentle." Coulson tried to comfort you.
