Michael Makes His Move

"You want me to what?" Alfie asked deadpanned.

"I- I know it sound crazy or- or even stupid, but he is just not in his right mind…" Daisy said.

Some time ago she grabbed Alfie to the side to ask him something.

"Really?...how long have you been an agent again?" Alfie asked as he drank a bottle of beer.

"I don't know 9 years? 10?" Daisy said unsure.

"And you are telling me even after all those years of being an agent you still have the thought of feeling bad for bastards you are going after?"

"I can't help it, guys like that can't catch a break." Daisy said.

"Have you...have you ever taken a life before, dear Daisy?" Alfie asked as the young woman seemed to not be cut out for this kind of work.

"Actually, have any of your friends there ever taken a life?"

"Yes...but not often, it's a line we are not comfortable in crossing." She said uncomfortably.

"Line?" Alfie paused.

He doesn't know what S.H.I.E.L.D. has come to in the future but in his past life the supposed director was Nicholas Fury.

His actions can be questionable but he would do whatever it takes to protect humanity, and that means no lines are forbidden.

He may lie, trick, or even do some dark shitt but he was damn dependable on things needed to be done.

But now he was seeing that another man was the so called director, he was bald but he was no Nick Fury.

"Yeah, unlike you we have lines we don't like to cross-"

"Daisy, in this kind of work, there is no "Line", there is no "comfort" in what you do...there is only do or don't." Alfie said.

"Huh?" Daisy raised an eyebrow.

"You said it yourself right? S.H.I.E.L.D. is a defense nationally hell even globally, but here, you agents are worried about not crossing a stupid line and not feeling comforable with shitt when behind you is the lives of the innocents?" Alfie started with an expression not serious or playful.

"You say that as if it's easy, we are not you, if we keep cross the line then we-"

"This is not about you!! It's about the people behind you!! If you can't understand that then this kind of work is not for you, not when there is too much drama." Alfie said a bit pissed.

He is not the type to care about people or what they do but when someone is doing something and can't see the weight of their work then he needs to voice out something.

"Your director over there? He can't keep his emotions in check, his girlfriend had to keep consoling him, another reason he is not fit to be an agent, but to have a relationship with one of his agents? This has to be an unstable agency." Alfie said a little too disappointed.

"I understand where you are coming from, Alfie, but we help each other and work together, we are close and with that we have protected and served the people no matter how much we've been through." Daisy retorted.

"That's the thing, again this kind of work doesn't mix with "friends" or "feelings", and I am willing to bet that throughout your days as an agent you have made many rash decisions just to save friends rather than following direct orders." Alfie said.

"Those rash decisions came out to be the best decisions we have made, and because of it we overcame so much and became strong." Daisy said.

"That is good and all but that also means you can't follow simple orders and your judgement will be easily clouded once your friends are in a bind, it just goes to show that you're something else, but not agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

It was a weakness.

"Speak for yourself, I've seen your history, your reports, you can't be controlled, you do whatever you like even during the war, you may be the wolf or America but you and orders do not mix." Daisy said, crossing her arms.

"Bahahahahahh, oh little duckling, don't compare me to you and your little friends, a wolf doesn't listen to the cries of sheep, let alone an Alpha." Alfie said with a firm smile.

"Wow...your ego is like...overwhelming me." Daisy walked away with a facepalm.

Alfie also walked to the group of so called agents, James went somewhere while Howard was extracting information out of the young men he was with.

Alfie interrupted and got everyone to get this over with and make a plan.

Howard with Fitz and Shaw were to work on a device that would track this Mikael, Michael in their mouths.

Howard was able to keep up easily with what the two were talking about and such, he was starstruck with every device the two took out.

For Howard the things they were doing and talking about wasn't that hard to get, some new words might be spouted out but with a simple and small explanation it clicked.

Howard was like a Playstation 3 controller and his mind worked like it as well, the two could be an upgraded Playstation 4 controller and such but all in all they have the same buttons and symbols.

Howard was just limited by the current technology.

Coulson, Mack, and Yo-Yo were to head to the base and stay close to Steve Rogers while Alfie and Daisy headed out and spent a day in public.

And so time went on.

Mack and his team made it inside the base and took on roles and military officials, somehow.

They were now keeping a close eye on Steve Rogers for any movements on this Michael.

Mack gave a warning that this Mikael is mot someone Alfie can handle alone, let alone Captain America, but Alfie got more excited thinking of the potential challenge.

So Alfie used the time he has with Daisy and asked her everything about this Michael.

Michael has enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, and durability.

Not Michael but the suit he wears, apparently it also has some parts in the suit that is able to protect him from different kinds of powers from people recorded to have abilities.

For example, Daisy wasn't able to use her vibrations to blast Michael back, it was some kind of Anti-vibrational padding in the suit.

And someone like Yo-Yo can't get too close either because one touch and you are electrically blasted away.

Other than that there were also some defensive and offensive tech he carries around, the agents weren't able to see much but the ones they've seen so far were pretty formidable.

And the tech in that suit wouldn't work without a big, small powersource.

One as big or maybe even bigger than Tony Starks reactor.

Which is what Fitz, Shaw, and Howard are working on.

To find a big walking powersource countrywide

But at the moment the others are still waiting for the science groups' words.

And for Alfie and Daisy, the two were in a bar taking shots and talking.

Alfie was slowly getting information about the future, Daisy said she won't say anything about the future but she was clumsily hinting big events that would soon happen.

One such as the invasion of New York, a falling city, a clash of heroes, even things that arenews to Alfie.

And Daisy won't say anything about his personal future but he didn't care, as long as the word Thanos was non-existent in the future.

But before that he will have his fun.

Another thing he asked was if he was close to her, she doesn't know why she would look familiar to him but she said she was close to someone he was closer to.

Which brought up more questions in his head.

Night started to appear and Daisy got a bit too drunk.

Alfie was surprised because she would let down her guard so much that she would get drunk with him?

Alfie wondered if this woman was his girl from the future, but it doesn't look like it since even drunk she doesn't look at him that way.

In the end Alfie picked her up and took her back on his shoulder, as she was mumbling and slurring her words about something Alfie would regret.

But he didn't really pay any attention, he could ask when she was on her right mind.

By the time they got to Howards suite, he was surprised that on the couch was a knocked out Mack, bandaged Yo-Yo and a tired Coulson.

Oh and James was standing in front of the couch with his arms crossed, his clothes tattered with holes, blood, and scratches.

"Boy did I miss a party, what happened?" Alfie asked as he picked Daisy up with his right hand and put her on another couch effortlessly.

"It was an assassin, after Rogers." James said.

"That assassin is Michael." Coulson said.

"He seemed like he gave you a challenge James, was he fun?" Alfie asked.

"He was a good challenge…" James growled as he sheathed and unsheathed his claws.

"...but those tech things keep getting in the way, he isn't skilled much, I think he uses his instinct more than anything else." James said.

"You seem to like him, I wanna have a go, but I'm guessing he isn't around?" Alfie asked.

"No, he disappeared."

"Where were you? We tried calling you guys." Fitz stepped in.

"How the hell was I supposed to contact you guys, this little girl had the earpiece thingy but she didn't get anything, she was drunk." Alfie said pointing at the drooling Daisy.

"Michael was able to wound Steve Rogers in the base, he would have killed him if we didn't interfere…" Coulson chimed in.

"...and Michael also would have killed us if James didn't happen to appear and saved us." Coulson said as he looked to James and nodded his head in thanks.

"Steve ok?" Alfie asked.

"He should be fine." James responded.

"But, his shield was taken from his stored gear, we checked and Michael most likely has taken it." Coulson said.

"The bastard took the shield? Well I hope Steven won't pout over it."

"What the hell does he want with it anyways?" Alfie asked.

"It's not as simple as taking it, it's also taking what it represents, the shield is used by Captain Steve Rogers, an American hero and taking the shield would almost be like taking a national treasure or what represents Captain America." Coulson said.

"And I believe his next goal is to either kill Captain America, or take your sword." Coulson said.

"Hahaha, does he think taking my sword will make me less dangerous? How ridiculous." Alfie said amusingly.

"Well, the sword is one of the most dangerous weapons in history, the fact that it can even shoot beams or create energy shields is already something of its own-"

"Huh?" Alfie interrupted Coulson's talk.

"What the hell are you on about Coulson?" Alfie asked, because shooting beams with his sword?

"Well yeah, the sword itself is mysterious and many wanted to know where you got it but...are you telling me…"

"Shooting beams? Make shields?..." Alfie was lost.

And with a work of his hands the katana appeared out of nowhere, unsheathed from his fingers literally out of nowhere.

"This sword?"

"Y-yeahss."

"Shooting beams? Really? I mean installing magic shields on it was on my mind...but the beam also sounds nice…"

"You mean, it doesn't have those...abilities at the moment?" Coulson asked.

"Of course not, I mean the closest thing I can do for a magic sword is…"

Alfie pointed the katana upward and grunted, the others wanted to know what was going on when the sword finally lit up golden.

Numbers of gasps went around, then small comments were made oh how it should be impossible, or how beautiful it looked.

"H- how?!"

"It's called Chi…" Alfie exhaled as the shine disappeared.

"But I'm not able to control it expertly outward, but thank you for the advice, I'll keep that in mind when I decide to upgrade it soon." Alfie said before leaving the awestruck group.

James followed, he was surprised but not for too long, he just let out a grumble.
