The Bridge

"At 0-800 hours, three men infiltrated the Havenworth Federal Penitentiary." Coulson started to explain.

"Infiltrated? More like cannonballed." Skye added.

"They were in and out in less than two minutes. Left no prints at the scene, but we do have one lead." Coulson said as he waved his hand over the table that brought up a picture of one of the soldiers who had a device on their wrist.

"Centipede." Ward said, Coulson waved his hand a few more times, the photos changing to a lab.

"It seems they salved some of their research form Hong Kong." Coulson explained.

"So, we were right. Chan's platelets solved their combustion problem. Now they can create super soldiers with no fear of explosion." Simmons said with an excited tone. Fitz scolded her on that.

"Two of Centipede's labs have been destroyed but they keep popping back up. Now they have at least three of these guys, maybe more." Coulson said.

"Who did they break out?" May asked.

"Edison Po, former Marine, expert in tactics and rapid response." Coulson replied as Po's information came up on screen after Coulson waved his hand some more, "He fell off the grid in '08, reappeared eighteen months ago at a diner in Boston." Coulson told the team as Ward looked at the file with a squint. Saying about how Po stabbed a friend's eye out before finishing his meal.

Skye joked that he didn't look crazy, everyone looked at her before she defended herself that she was obviously joking. Coulson told them that he shouldn't be too hard to track down, he also revealed that they wouldn't be working alone this time.

"It's not good, at all. The guy was a ticking time bomb, literally." Ward argued as they watched footage of Mike as he saved someone.

"HQ wouldn't have sent him if he was still combustible. They must've found a way to stabilize him somehow." Fitz said. Ward asked if they stabilized his attitude. Simmons talked about how they opened their doors up to people who had questionable backgrounds, nudging her head towards the two, Skye looked offended, while Aaron just rolled his eyes.

"Not cool, but true. And don't worry about Mike, he's a good guy." Skye assured them.

"Who's been in the Centipede program." Simmons threw in.

"Exactly. He can give us some superpower backup." Skye said.

"Yeah." Simmons agreed with her friend.

"Just saying, this could easily go sideways." Ward argued. As Ward continued his little rant, Aaron saw Mike enter the office.

"Ward." Aaron stopped his rambling, Ward looked at him as the boy nudged his head to signal behind him, before he finally caught on. Coulson introduced everyone, introducing Aaron as someone who was there. He gave a smile and a wave. Skye asked Mike how his son was, the team found out that he was with his sister. So, he was ok and out of harms way at least.

"So, what do we have?" Coulson asked.

"Not so much on Po. I checked his previously known addresses and old military, came up empty." Skye informed him.

"We've been looking for where Po might be on the outside. Let's look at his life on the inside, at the prison. See if that gets us any leads." He ordered Skye, who nodded.

"Anything on the Centipede Soldiers?" Coulson asked Simmons.

"We found a facial recognition match on one of them." Simmons said as Ward hit a button on the table and brought the information on the soldier.
