BORN AGENT → AGENTS OF SHIELD AU

CAMBODIA IN THE SPRING

As it turns out taking the quinjet almost nine thousand miles takes a while, although clearly shorter than the ride Magnes had waiting judging by the two days after they arrive it takes her to get there. The difference in travel time is mostly due to the Canadian detour but at the moment she catches up with them they are unaware of that, and the group is rather more shocked to see her following the radio silence since their first unfortunate meeting. 

"I was starting to think i was right about you", she's greeted with the apparently constantly stoic May who is the middle of moving supplies from the jet. 

"Give me a break I don't have access to government resources anymore, besides i was feeling a little outnumbered so I decided to make a detour"

"Please tell me this is not the moment when you reveal you have an even less trustworthy identical twin who happens to also be your partner in crime, because that would be literally insane". This time the voice comes from behind May, walking suavely down the quinjet ramp is Tripp. He's accompanied by who she heard Daisy refer to as Fitzsimmons, aka the two quiet ones attached at the hip. 

May interjects, "assuming its not an eviler twin then, who's the backup exactly?". 

Magnes thinks for a moments, carefully choosing words on how to summarise her mystery partner, "my tech guy basically, helped build the watch that I was wearing when we met, you know the one that was able to bypass all your security"

"So let me get this straight, the backup that you felt you needed so badly that you decided to take a detour in the middle of a critical operation is a tech guy. Because we don't have two hackers and two scientists here right now," May sneered clearly unimpressed.

Before Magnes could answer the half of fitzsimmons that at this moment in time she believes to be Fitz quietly added, "Also do you call everybody that you work with my 'miscellaneous criminally useful profession' guy" he signals apostrophes sarcastically before looking back down at the drone he's carrying. 

"Only the one's I'm in  a relationship with, which is just him to clarify because as much as I'm for new age liberalism, polyamory is not my thing."

This makes May scoff before adding to last unanswered question, " So you bought him because he's your boyfriend"

"That and he's a sharpshooter, thought having a sniper on the team wouldn't hurt when we are majorly outnumbered, if you hadn't noticed that minor detail"

"Where do you meet these people", tripp raised an eyebrow.

"sadly that is a story for another time guys, since we have activity at the site" Coulson appears for the first time since Magnes had arrived, wearing an almost identical suit from what she had seen him in before.

"Wheels up guys, we've got the co-ords for a closer location". He nods briefly to Magnes, before walking up the ramp again into the jet"

The jet ride was relatively short and they found themselves at what appeared to an abandoned warehouse the only other feature in sight being a church around three hundred metres away which looked like it had even less use than the warehouse,this was supposedly where the weapons pickup was happening. They had intel that Hydra weren't far out, and proceeded to get into position in pairs. To May's dismay she was paired with Magnes, watching the back of the warehouse towards where the entrance to the site was. Daisy and Hunter were guarding the front entrance to the warehouse, Tripp and Coulson were scouting from a distance and rightfully so Fitzsimmons were on comms and far away from the action.

Magnes leaned against the harsh brick, holding herself up with her left hand and flicking a curved knife round in her right. So far there had been nothing but radio silence from Hydra, and no visual sightings either from any of the three posts. May was perched on the black railing, silent and almost completely still, quickly surveying the area back and forth waiting for movement. soon enough their wishes were fulfilled and the path ahead of them came to life, amber lights revealing the area in front of what appeared to be two convey trucks. Based on the brief scout of the interior of the warehouse, the two vehicles would just barely carry the mass of ammunition and artillery that was inside. 

"This is May we've got visuals on two vehicles at our twelve o'clock entering on the south-east, looks around six people per vehicle at least, heavily armed. Stay down until targets are closer and we've got some of them in the warehouse. After that divide and conquer."

The first team to respond ends up being Daisy and Hunter, " we've got the front so we''ll take the men on the inside, Coulson and Tripp backup. May and Magnes take any guards watching the warehouse or vehicles. Tripp, Coulson do you read"

"Got it girl, we're on it", predictably that comes from Tripp.

Just over half of the incoming men stride ahead towards the warehouse, eventually managing to shift the metal lever on the entrance. The door swings open making a grating screech as it does so and seven men enter the building, Daisy and Hunter on their tail. Magnes and May move up to the rotating guards, and men waiting for follow up orders and crates to load onto the trucks. May charges towards the two guards circling, waiting until they are both in line to take them out in one swift motion. Magnes flanks around the first truck, shoving one guy back before slamming the vehicle door into him, knocking him cold. The commotion caused however sadly gets the attention of the remaining five men. Magnes breaks into a brief sprint, sweeping the legs from under one of the armed men before manoeuvring herself below another and slamming him onto the ground. She grasps at the knife attached to her side, sending it flying into the chest of another. Meanwhile May is making easy work of the other two, easily dodging hits before throwing the last guy into the wall of the warehouse. 

From beside them the brickwork of the building collapses, a sudden force sending two men from inside the warehouse flagging onto the ground. As the dust clears all that can be seen is Daisy standing behind them arm up, waves of air pulsing away from her hand. 

Magnes is taken back at the revelation , surprised that she had not heard anything about the fact that Daisy is apparently inhuman now. "So, that's new"

Daisy looks towards her,  "must have slipped my mind to mention", she smiles before beginning to walk out of the freshly created hole in the wall. Coulson, Tripp and Hunter follow icers in hand. 

May also takes the opportunity to look towards Magnes, sizing her up again before answering, "Well that wasn't half bad i guess"

Before Magnes has the chance to retort with a thanks or even a half-snarky remark laced with sarcasm, there's the unmistakable click of a gun behind them. Their heads snap to the source of the sound, and one last guy is standing, gun in hand. Before they can react , there's a piercing sound of a bullet. But instead of one of the six agents, and Magnes collapsing, the man himself does. A red dot forming on the centre of his chest, spilling onto his protective vest. The echoing that follows the shot leads to the realisation of the presence of a sniper, coming from the church not too far from the building.

Magnes, not for the first time is the first person to speak up, "I told you there was a good reason I invited Rob", she looks between her current allies.

May doesn't look relieved, "Who the hell is Rob?".

Tripp answers for her, clearly having already connected the dots, "The boyfriend who happens to also be a hacker and sniper".

"That's the one"

Comeback city (Maybe). I know it's been forever since I updated this, and I still have no writing ability but I re-read this and realised how bad it was. Altered and edited it (Still bad but ah well), found a lil inspiration to write another chapter, (also comments from the end of last year asking me to continue). 

A new box of plugs to spill
