The Light Sentinel (Marvel/Star Wars Crossover)

Chapter 12: A Code Yellow

Days went by, and we worked hard to try to find the next destination of the lookalike Phil and his crew. Elena and I had just gotten the file containing Benson's analysis of the area where fake Phil sent some sort of flares up in the sky like fireworks. She had the file in her hand, while I had my holopad in mine. As we made our way to Mack's office, I spoke up. "So, when do you plan on telling Mack what's going on between you and Keller?"

Elena scoffed. "Mack's not going to want to know. Besides we've got bigger problems right now."

"Alright, but at least consider it." I advised. "Sooner or later, you'll have to tell Mack."

"Alright, I'll at least consider it." She assured me.

We then walked into Mack's office to tell him know what new intel we discovered from Benson's analysis.

"Mack, we got back..." Elena began.

She trailed off upon seeing Keller with Mack. I was just as surprised as Elena was. Well, looks like Elena may not have worry about tell ing him after all. And this sure felt awkward...

"Is this a bad time?" I inquired.

Mack shook his head. "No, not at all."

"Benson did a full analysis of the area where fake Coulson put on the fireworks show." Elena informed him as he passed the file to Mack."

Mack then glanced down, reading the file. "No atmospheric toxicity, didn't disrupt air traffic, but trace amounts of statically charged particles?"

"Suspended in orbit." I clarified.

"Eyewitnesses described a pattern in the sky, a grid. So, we were thinking, maybe they were making a map." Elena mentioned.

"But the jewelry store, firing off a cannon seems like a lot of trouble if they could just check GPS." Keller chimed in.

"You think they're looking for something." Mack replied.

Elena nodded. "We do."

"But who knows what it is." I added.

"Alright, Elena, Keller, let me know if you find anything else." Mack advised.

"Of course." Elena replied.

With that Keller and Elena left, no doubt to discuss what just happened. I remained behind as Mack tried to keep himself occupied by reading the file. Once I noticed he was staring at the same page for quite some time, I spoke up. "Mack, are you all right?"

Mack glanced up upon hearing my words. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"Because Yo-Yo and Keller are together, and I know how you feel for her." I commented.

"It doesn't matter now...She's with Keller." He replied.

I furrowed my brows. "How did this happen? Last time I was here, you were both getting along."

Mack hesitated. "...Things changed."

Before I could say anything else, I received a hologram from Ahsoka. May sat beside her. No doubt they were in a Quinjet.

"We're headed back to the Lighthouse with a team." Ahsoka informed us.

"Did you find anything?" I inquired.

"We found a dead body in Reno." May explained.

Mack and I exchanged a look before Mack spoke up. "We'll meet you at the entrance."

Once we met up with May and Ahsoka, we walked past the hangars and into the hallways, while the agents made their way, taking the dead body they found in Reno into the lab.
