Chapter 44 - New power and the truth about Skye (1/2)
-Inselheim-
Elijah was busy looking through some DNA sequencing while Natasha was next to him.
He had decided to use a chamber that he created using several technologies that could grant people powers similar to those of mutants and inhuman.
Natasha:” So what should i do ?”
Elijah showed Natasha a thub-like chamber: ”You need to lie here and bear the pain. The power you receive will be something which you are more attuned to.”
Natasha nodded and took off her clothes and rested in the chamber then signalled to Elijah that she's ready.
Elijah looked over the parameters one more time before he activated the machine. After a while a searing pain enveloped Natasha. Despite her high resilience, she wanted to scream but she held it in. After more than 10 minutes the pain subsided and Elijah confirmed the success of the operation and waited for the result of the scan to reveal the power she got.
Natasha got out and Elijah helped her. She looked fairer , her skin looked almost as white as Elijah's and when he touched her skin ,her temperature seemed very low. Elijah guessed she may have cold related powers.
After few moments , the results got out.
After looking over them, Elijah said:” Well congratulations, you have gained the power to manipulate ice and cold. Try to think about a small construct of ice and try to manifest it .”
Natasha nodded and concentrated then a small cube of ice formed in her hand albeit Elijah could feel her energy a bit more chaotic needing more training and power ȧssimilation.
Natasha looked elated at having more power to protect herself and her brother.
Elijah kept performing tests until he was ȧssured that Natasha is more than fine and she only needs training.
Elijah:” You will be staying in Inselheim to work on your powers, get used to it and try to see what are the limits of your powers.”
—————
Elijah decided to oversee S.H.I.E.L.D while Natasha was away. It was a transition and Elijah needed S.H.I.E.L.D to serve its purpose in helping him protect the planet from outside or inside threats.
Elijah was sitting in the director office listening to Victoria Hand's report . She was a diligent woman and with her help, the transition went smoothly.
Elijah:”is Coulson's team ready?”
Victoria:” Yes they are . Like Director Müller instructed, we ȧssigned agent Bobby Morse to them.”
Elijah :” Please call them in. I need to talk to them about important matter before they go in the field.”
Victoria nodded respectfully and called team Coulson in. They came in after a few minutes.
Coulson :” Sir, agent Hand good morning.”
Elijah and Victoria nodded while Elijah said:” Agent Coulson. Good morning, please come in , your team too.”
Elijah began reviewing their file and resume then said :” the work that Fury ȧssigned you before HYDRA uprising was fitting for your team and your work was exemplary except some mistakes that needs to be avoided in the future. It was decided by me, Natasha and agent Hand to reassign you to the new BUS. It will serve as a mobile command center for your team. You will be travelling the globe and will be dealing with high risk missions and alien investigation as well people with power that you will be ȧssigned to investigate.
Now we need to deal with one problem in your team , Skye aka Daisy Johnson.”
Skye suddenly went stiff, she was afraid ever since the new S.H.I.E.L.D began , she was scared that she will be booted out by the new management.
Coulson stepped forward and tried to defend Skye:” Sir, she may be new but she has good skills that could benefit the agency. ”
The rest of the team all followed in defending her while Elijah looked stoic as ever.
Elijah just looked at them then said :” as much as i admire your team spirit, we need to clear things about you Miss Johnson. You joined the agency so you can find more about your parents?”
