One After Another

In an alley in Italy...

"H-how!? I mean how did they know we are not from here!? Our cover is blown!!" The man named Fitz panicked as he walked back and forth.

"No, there is no way they would know who we are, there has to be something else that makes us feel different." The black man who was named Mack said trying to calm Fitz down.

"Yeah, you heard what they said, on their files it said that their senses are extremely high and that must be the reason we were suspicious to them, they must have sensed something from us." The brown skin woman Daisy said.

"We are lucky enough that they didn't ask anything, in fact they just ran off without saying anything...ugh i'd rather look for Steve Rogers than Alfie McBride, this man is too unstable, he is dangerous." Fitz said.

"He is a dangerous man, but if it's the right situation he is a very dependable man and could be trusted." Coulson said as he crossed his arms and thought about the situation.

"So what now? Do we still watch him or back off? I doubt the great Deathstroke would be all nice and warm once he figures out that we have been watching him…" a new voice spoke, one with scruff beard and looked to be in his late 20's, the man seemed spooked.

"Of course we back off, do you not know the story of that madman!? He is petty and would look for any reason to chop someone's head off, I knew this was a bad idea." Fitz said frustrated.

"Okay I agree with Coulson, I've met Alfie and he isn't that bad, only when he is angry or has enemies in front of him, but the guy can be depended on…" Daisy said.

"What are you saying?" Mack chimed in.

"I'm saying...we tell him-"

"No! Not happening, we are not here for a team up or to mess with the timeline, we've already screwed it by following that bastard here, we can't just mess with it even more." Mack said completely against it.

"But Mack I know this guy, he is smart, he knows how to do things and smoothly too, he taught me how to-"

"This guy is a psychopathic killer, and he is not the Alfie from our time, we don't know what kind of person he is now." Mack said ending any further discussion of the topic.

"You should know how unpredictable and uncontrollable he is, he is way too unstable to work with." Mack said.

"Even so if we were to significantly mess this timeline up, then it's not our past we are messing with but theirs...and I doubt I would be happy if my past were being messed with so I'm with Mack- Director Mack on this one." Scruffy beard who was named Shaw said.

"There is more at risk than messing up history, we have that bastard running around trying to end all-"

"Enough!! We don't have time for this while we talk, Michael is putting his plans in action, if we don't stop him then everything we have done until would be a waste of time, we are splitting.

Coulson, you Daisy and Fitz will head to the base here in Italy and get close to Steve Rogers, me, Yo-Yo and Shaw will find Alfie McBride and watch out for Michael." Mack explained the plans to them before splitting the team.

"Yes! Thank God, I'm not dealing with Deathstroke…" Fitz said.

As they were about to move out a voice rung out in the alley.

"I can't help but feel offended...I have not met you yet you know know me, you even don't like me…"

The group looked to the back to see Alfie walking their way with a cane knocking on the ground every step and James walking on the side without his coat.

"Ah, well this is not good." Fitz said.

The group was ready for anything, this man Alfie was most likely gonna attack since there will be a misunderstanding, and the misunderstanding can't be avoided since they can't say much to...un-misunderstand it.

"Still think we shouldn't say anything Mack?" Daisy asked.

Because if they could just explain it to these two then there wouldn't need to be a fight, but it would risk things telling them about things they shouldn't know.

"I'll stand by my word." Mack said as he walked forward in front of everyone to talk.

"Sir, we have things to do, so if you don't mind, we are gonna go our own way, I hope you can let us be." Mack said to Alfie.

"What kind of business? Because I could have sworn you said my name a few times, am I wrong?" Alfie turned to James asking.

Alfie continuously looked back and forth at Coulson and Daisy because he knew one while the other looked familiar to him.

He hasn't watched Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. so he wouldn't know much about these faces.

"We...we spoke your name because we are fans, who wouldn't know about the Wolf of America? We wanted to get your autograph but we are out of time for some...business." Daisy stepped up.

"I see…" Alfie said and there was a moment of silence.

"..."

"..."

There was a sudden shock to the group as Alfie disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of Daisy with his eyes wide looking at her.

"Why do you look so familiar?" Alfie asked.

Most would be freaked out for the fact that Alfie McBride was in front of their face and the big pressure would be too much.

But the girl seemed to be holding it alright, she didn't look scared at all.

Mack, who was surprised that he appeared beside him, grabbed the man on the shoulders.

"Hey, back off-kuggh!!"

He couldn't finish when Alfie grabbed the hand and did a simple side kick kicking Mack to the side.

With a sudden panic everyone did their thing, mostly taking out weapons, Daisy did a frontal kick pushing Alfie back a bit before she raised her hands to do something.

Alfie and James senses went high alert, James felt the movement of the area in front of Daisy and sensed...vibration?

James lowered his body and his arms on the sides grew their bony claws.

Alfie felt the enormous potent energy coming out of the young woman's hands and he immediately moved to her side, grabbed her arms and did a turning back kick coming to her back knocking her forward disturbing the power execution.

But before he can do anymore, time stopped for everyone, time slowed to be specific.

But it slowed down so much that it seemed as if time itself stopped.

Behind Alfie was Yo-Yo, who came up and pushed him away from the group, before time went back to normal.

Even though it was a small push from that Hispanic Yo-Yo, when time went back to normal Alfie was thrown to the wall besides James before Yo-Yo helped Daisy up.

The others had their weapons on Alfie and James ready for any movement.

"Hahaha, see I told you they were mutants." Alfie said looking at James.

James growled at that, and when Alfie saw that James had his claws out he whispered to him to not injure anyone badly and to put it away.

"Mutants?" Daisy asked.

"Yes, my friend here is also a Mutant, I see that you don't know what you are, you seem to know how to use your powers though." Alfie said.

But he then looked to Yo-Yo to see what the hell happened just then.

"Mutants come to their powers by experiencing traumatic scenes in their lives, I'm guessing you two have?" Alfie asked the two women.

"We are not this Mutant thing you say." Yo-Yo said.

"We are Inhumans." Daisy said not caring about secrecy in the moment.

"Damn it, Daisy!!" Mack yelled at the side getting up.

"Inhumans?! Well shitt, that changes things, I didn't think there were any Inhumans in this Universe…" Alfie thought out loud.

"You know about us?"

"Oh I probably know more than you, sweetheart." Alfie said.

Daisy frowned, because the Alfie in her timeline never said anything about Inhumans or this Mutant thing.

"You there, what can you do?" Alfie asked with a smile looking at Yo-Yo provokingly.

"You don't seem like much in this small group, what do you do?" Alfie asked again as he slowly walked up disregarding the others' warning.

"Is a woman like you useful nowadays?"

That was the last thing he said before both he and this Yo-Yo woman disappeared and appeared near the wall again with Yo-Yo having her elbows on Alfie's neck against the wall.

"This I can do." Yo-Yo said.

"No, don't getso close to him!!" Daisy yelled, she had experience with how dangerous Alfie can be.

"I see, hahahaha, a speedster!! Who would have thought!? There is so much I don't know in this world still!!" Alfie said almost crazily.

The only speedster Alfie could think of in the MCU is Quicksilver, yet there stands another one in front of him.

Alfie brought his right arm and grabbed Yo-Yo's arm, gripping it.

And using her speed Yo-Yo disappeared again but still appeared where she was with Alfie holding her arm still.

"Haha I may not have experience with speedsters but I know about an idiot who is also a speedster." Alfie said, his eyes shining in golden CHI.

(Barry Allen, the idiot who speaks to criminals rather than getting shitt done and stupidly gives them the chance to use their powers)

"You may be fast but you can't free yourself from something gripping you hard." Alfie said.

Alfie saw that Mack was running at him from the side but he didn't even glance at him, because before Mack can tackle him down, James rammed into him instead taking both of them to the side for a match of strength.

His attention came back to Yo-Yo who was trying hard to get out of his grasp, Alfie grabbed something from his wrist which was a needle before plunging it into the forehead of the speedster woman as she seemed to have lost consciousness and fell backwards.

"That's it with the troublesome one, now let's see who's left-!!" As Alfie finished his speech he was blasted back onto the wall by Daisy.

"Stop it, Alfie!! We are not your enemy!!" Daisy yelled out as she walked up to him and blasted him with her power so he could stop moving.

As he was being blasted by her vibrations, he looked up smiling at her.

"...I...grghh...know…" he said with effort before he kicked with his right leg moving to the side out of her range, but before she can get him again Alfie did a low back kick sweep knocking her on her back before running at the other 3 holding ICERS.

A non-lethal handgun for shield agents.

As Coulson, Fitz, and Deke Shaw started shooting at Alfie, it didn't do much damage due to the CHI energy protection.

But it did slow him down as he grunt through it before doing a jump and bringing down an axe kick knocking Fitz Icer then landing doing a turning kick to his face knocking him out.

That Deke Shaw guy was an easy work, just one palm to the jaw and another on his chest got him dizzy on the ground.

Alfie turned to Coulson and didn't do anything but take his gun, Coulson tried to test himself on Alfie but Alfie didn't even dodge and just backed off.

"OH MY GOOD!! YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!! WOULD YOU JUST STOPP!!" Daisy screamed as she looked at Alfie.

Everyone that was fighting paused and looked at her, and with a raised eyebrow Alfie did stop.

"Who are you? And why do you look so familiar?..." Alfie asked, because she was looking at him as if she knew him personally.

"I'll answer your questions, but just stop, this is all...a big misunderstanding okay?" Daisy said really hoping for the fight to stop, there was no time.

"Damn it, Daisy!! Stop talking!!" Mack who was kneeling next to the still cigar smoking James said.

"Fine, little girl, you will explain later." Alfie said before he grabbed the two man on the floor he just struck and dragged them to the wall Yo-Yo was still paralyzed at.

"Hey, what are you doing now?" Daisy asked as she looked at Alfie who was ignoring her.

"Just moving things out of the way." Alfie casually said before telling Coulson who he pretended he didn't know to move to the wall as well.

Mack came to Yo-Yo and called for her, but there was no response, they seemed to be intimately close.

"Out of the way for what?!" Daisy asked.

"Hey, what the hell did you do to her?!" Mack came up and grabbed Alfie's shoulder and turned him to face him.

"She is fine, I'll free her later." Alfie said to Mack.

"Oh right Yo-Yo." Daisy realized before she got on the ground next to Yo-Yo and pulled the small needle from her forehead which freaked Alfie out.

"Wait!! You idiot you can't just pull that ou-" Alfie paused as he saw this Daisy woman do the right steps before safely waling Yo-Yo up.

When Yo-Yo woke up she tried to get back into fighting but Mack calmed her down, though he was still glaring beams at Alfie.

Daisy got up smugly with the needle and dropped it on Alfie's palm with a smirk.

"Okay...how-" Alfie tried asking again but she interrupted him.

"You taught me." Daisy said.

"Uuuh, no I didn't-..." Alfie paused forgetting something.

'Right, time-travel.' He thought.

"I could have explained if you had just stopped!!" Daisy said.

"Eh, maybe later, now stay out of the way little girl." Alfie said even thought they seemed like they were around the same age.

"Stay out of the way for what?!" Daisy asked as both Alfie and James stood in front of them ready for something.

Then the small group of time-travelers saw as more than a few shadows fell from the sky, or more like roof, and occupied all the free space the others weren't at.

Looking clearly, Daisy and the others saw who these shados were, they wore full black covering even their faces except for the eyes with red linings here and there.

"Ninjas?" Yo-Yo muttered.

"Really?! Ninjas in the 1940's?! This can't get any weirder." Mack said.

"Its the Hand." Daisy said.

"The what?" Mack asked clearly lost.

"The Hand, an ancient organization in the shadows that existed for as long as…" Coulson explained.

As the ones in the back spoke, Alfie and James up in the front also spoke up.

"I see you punks doing things differently now, ehat you tired of lurking in the shadows?" Alfie said.

Ignoring the facts that the alley was filled with Hand ninjas along the roof edge and failings.

There was no answer from the dark clothed shadow lurkers.

On Alfie's left, Daisy walked up near him and put her fist up.

"I'll help." She said determined.

But she was suddenly lifted from the ground, she looked to the side and realized Alfie picked her up from the back of her clothes effortlessly.

"Now now little girl, this is the best fun me and James will have in the city, and you can't ruin it, plus you need to protect your friends and stay out of our way." Alfie said as he walked back to the group and put her down.

"She's pouting, maybe she is your daughter." James jabbed when Alfie came back.

"No way!" Alfie denied, but he glanced back with with an eyebrow raised.

"Let's just start." Alfie faced the group of ninjas without a sword, but he just needed to take one.

"Now, did you guys come to talk or-" He didn't finish as the horde of shadow warriors rushed at them.

Alfie wasn't worried about the group from behind since 1, they can protect themselves, 2, the ninjas don't usually take hostages or target ones that isn't their target, and 3, they weren't his responsibility to protect.
