SLIDING the bunk door open Sienna caught her sister's attention, "There's a mission briefing in five. Coulson was going to come tell you, but I'd figure I'd take the opportunity to come see you. You know because you haven't come out of your bunk since the last mission."

"Yeah yeah, I'll be there in a sec." Skye replied her eyes still trained on the glowing screen of her laptop. Sienna sighed heavily and crossed her arms across her chest.

"Skye, the plane's about to be blown out of the sky by little green men."

"Okay-" Skye turned around in confusion. "Wait, what?"

"Ah glad to see your back on my level of reality." Sienna looked closer at Skye's screen. "Katherine Shane? Who's that?"

"According to these files, she could be our mom." Skye turned back to her computer smiling.

"What makes you think that?" Sienna narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"Oh Coulson didn't tell you?" Sienna shook her head. "The person who dropped us off at the orphanage was a woman. And a SHIELD agent."

"Okay...that doesn't mean she's our mother."

"Well I started looking into all the female agents active when we were born." Sienna raised her eyebrows. "Needle, haystack, I know. But then I factored in age and marital status, and then I built a program to narrow down the field."

"Even if the woman who dropped us off is our mother, you're still looking at a very long road."

"Well, it would be a lot shorter if I could access more files. But Coulson won't remove my internet nanny." Skye waved her hand in the air for emphasis.

"Your what?" Coulson spoke up as he descended the stairs.

"My tracking bracelet."

"Oh."

"So you'll remove it?"

"No. But I did ask May to look into SHIELD's more restricted files." Coulson answered.

"I was kind of hoping to keep this private. You know between the three of us." Skye gestured to the triangle that was formed between Sienna, Coulson, and herself.

"Agent May specializes in quiet. Let's go."

"At 0-800 hours, three men infiltrated the Havenworth Federal Penitentiary. They were in and out in less than two minutes." Sienna observed the video camera footage of the break-in that Coulson had mirrored onto the screen. "Left no prints at the scene, but we do have one lead." Coulson zoomed in onto one of the men's arms.

"Centipede." Both Ward and Sienna said at the same time. They made eye contact and Ward's glare made Sienna feel uneasy.

"Seems like they salvaged some of their research from Hong Kong." Coulson continued.

"So we were right. Chan's platelets solved their combustion problem. Now they can create super soldiers with no fear of explosion." Simmons announced happily.

"Maybe don't get so excited about that." Fitz whispered into Simmons' ear, Sienna smiled at the dialogue that only she could hear because she was standing next to Fitz.

"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 continued...again.

"Who'd they break out?" May asked.

"Edison Po, former Marine, expert in tactics and rapid response. He fell of the grid in '08, reappeared 18 months ago in at a diner in Boston." Coulson mirrored Po's mugshot onto the screen that was displaying all his other information.
