Agent May piloted the S.H.I.E.L.D jet as they flew across the atlantic to their destination. She was checking over the controls when she saw a flash of black out the windsheild. She blinked and saw nothing, she checked if she missed it but there was nothing. She knew something was there.

A knock interrupted her pondering.

"Hey" Skye came in "Coulson asks how long until we get to wherever it was were going"

"Tell him we'll be in Long Island in five minutes" the agent said roboticaly. She pushed the blur of black that came out of nowhere out the jet to the back of her mind and focused on flying the jet.

"Why Long Island?" Skye asked. She sat down in the other pilot seat "What's going on there?"

"He didn't tell you?"

"No, he said he'd explain when we get there, but since you know" she had the look of a hopeful puppy on her face "You wouldn't mind sharing some details...?"

Agent May glanced at her, keeping silent for a moment, then said "There have been some unusual events recorded in that Island, and large power sources have been spotted in that exact area, were being sent right now to check it out"

"Nothing out of the normal then" Skye mutterd then left back out to join the other members of the team.

"I'm just worried okay?"

Simmons sighed and took off her gloves "Fitz, calm down" she said to a very jumpy looking young agent.

"I am calm, I am just a tad bit concerned that the Island might still have more alligators lurking around" he stated.

"From what I heard, it was just one that attacked" Agent Ward said.

"And it could still have offspring swimming about in the place!"

"Could still have what swimming where?" Skye inquired walking in the lab.

Simmons was about to speak when Fitz spoke first "There was a freak alligator attack on that Island, a huge one, it was able to swallow a whole horse with one bite!"

"And then it was captured" Ward concluded plainly crossing his arms.

"Fitz is scared there might be still more of them out there" said Simmons

Fitz started another rant/lecture about how it was highly possible and the other concerns about the Island.

On the other floor, just above the lab was Agent Coulson's office. He was reafing through the file when the screen in his office lit up and out came the image of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D, in all his eyepatch glory.

Coulson jerked his head up and quickly got to his feet.

"Director Fury" he greeted though surprise was evident in his voice.

"Agent Coulson, we have an emergency, stop whatever you are doing and head back to S.H.I.E.L.D H.Q stat" Nick Fury orderd, his voice had a tremor of urgency.

The agent felt his gut knot in worry but he didn't show it in his features.

"What is the emergency?" he asked. His sixth sense was telling him it was worse than he had imagined. He wad almost dreading to hear the answer.

Fury went silent for a moment looking almost in hesitation. He was debating to tell Coulson this, not sure if he was going to take it okay. He looked at the agent a minute before speaking.
