Maveth

(H.Y.D.R.A. Castle, Gloucestershire, England)

Lyra's POV.

After Hunter and Morse told us that Coulson sky-dived into the Monolith portal, they joined Zephyr One as we have four Quinjet around us including The B.U.S., and I now step up to the Quinjet to meet Hunter and Morse.

"One of you want to tell me what Coulson was thinking jumping out of the Quinjet like that?" I ask Hunter and Morse incredulously as I meet them on the landing bay.

"I would say he wasn't so much thinking as feeling... Feeling that Ward needs to die." Hunter explains to me.

"And you didn't try to stop him." I say to Hunter incredulously.

"Full disclosure... I was planning on jumping, as well. Again, less thinking than feeling." Hunter explains.

"Coulson went into the Monolith Portal to get our people." Morse says to me.

"'Our people', what are you talking about?" I ask her confused.

"We believe that Ward took Fitz or Simmons through the portal with him." Hunter states.

"Hopefully, Coulson can find them and bring them back safely. All we have to do is take control of the castle and open the portal so they can return." Morse explains.

"So, just take the ultra-fortified H.Y.D.R.A. Castle and open the alien portal. That's it?" I ask them, and Morse shrug slightly, motioning a 'Yes' "You know, you're wired different than most folks." I say to them.

"I'm not saying it'll be easy." Morse admits.

"I wouldn't mind hearing it's gonna be easy." Hunter admits.

"It'll be easy." Morse assure him a lie.

"Doesn't work if I know you're lying." Hunter tells her.

"Lyra-or, director, you guys should get down here." Skye says to me over coms.

Myself, Hunter and Morse then all head up to Zephyr One and meet up with May, Skye, Lincoln and Gutierrez and Skye shows us one of the wall computers where it shows live Infra-red footage of the Castle and H.Y.D.R.A. agents, and they seem to be unloading possible more weapons from some trucks.

"This is H.Y.D.R.A.'s compound outside the castle. And these two trucks were just unloaded." Skye explains.

"What are they bringing in now? More weapons?" Lincoln asks us as I look closer at the infra-red.

"Inhuman's." I state "They're stockpiling Inhuman's. Looks like 10 or 12 of those gel-matrix containers, all of which we're going to save." I explain.

"Garner, he's probably down there, as well." May says to me.

"Then we save him, too." I assure her.

"Okay. So, are we rescuing Inhumans or saving Coulson or attacking H.Y.D.R.A. or is there some kind of combo? Sorry. New guy just trying to understand how this whole S.H.I.E.L.D. thing works." Gutierrez says to me.

"This is how S.H.I.E.L.D. works. You make a plan, plan turns to rubbish, we make a new plan. Oh, just to be crystal clear, this is the part where the plan turns to rubbish." Hunter explains to Gutierrez.

"Whatever the new plan, we need to make sure those Inhumans are safe." Lincoln says to me.

"And find Fitz and Simmons." Morse says to me.

"And we get Coulson back through the portal." Skye says to me.

"Would everyone just shut up a second?" I ask them, and they do so "Even cloaked, H.Y.D.R.A.'s missiles will find us if we get too close. And I will not be the one who has to tell Coulson we got his fancy new plane blown up. Now, the only way to take the castle and secure the portal is on the Q.T.'s That means no gunfire and no backup. We leave all tactical support up here. Is that clear?" I ask them, and they all nod, yes "Two infiltration teams... One to search the compound for Fitz or Simmons and one to secure the portal. We'll take care of everyone, including the Inhumans." I tell them all "Johnson, satellite's at your disposal, find us a back door." I order Skye.
