Chapter 018: Hindsight
Skye woke up to find herself lying in her own compartment on the Bus.
My head still hurts a little, but it's good to know that I'm safe. It's just that something with a little fluff and warmth is rubbing against her lap, making her a spirit again. Fortunately, when she almost bounced up, she found that it was a cute little puppy. Look at the breed should be a pit bull.
Wait, pit bulls? It's not a coincidence, right, so the 'absentee' teammate has finally arrived? But didn't that teammate say he went to foster a bulldog?
Subconsciously holding the self-cooked dog, Skye just came out of the cubicle when she saw that Fitz and Simmons outside had the same haggard faces as her.
Is this the result of a hangover, or is it because of the drugs in the wine? Skye didn't know. And just as she was about to ask Fitz and Simmons, the two science babies, if they had figured out what the reason was and how they came back, she found out that the two science babies were talking to someone else.
It's Coulson and May.
"Vampires, vampires! I knew they existed! "For someone who had just woken up and had been drugged, Fitz was really excited.
"Fitz's tone was a bit exaggerated, but yes, I can confirm that what he said wasn't exaggerated." That being said, Simmons was not much less excited than Fitz, if not more. "Biologically, vampires shouldn't exist. Whether it is due to external factors such as pathogens or internal factors such as autonomous mutation and evolution, there is no environment that can produce corresponding changes. But now! Knowing that they do exist proves that the biologists' previous analysis is wrong, or that there is a loophole. If I can get some of their tissue and blood samples, maybe I can find out how they were born and solve this mystery that no one has been able to figure out for hundreds of years! Hehe, I'm a little excited to think of this! Sir, am I honored to do so? By the way, it would be nice to have brain cells and stem cells! β
"Simmons, are you serious?!" Fitz looked at Simmons in shock β well, a little frightened. "The man cut off the head of a vampire in front of our faces, in two pieces; He also stabbed the other vampire in the stomach with the glass he had removed from the cupboard, and not only that, but he also stirred it up a few times...... Do you remember what we saw when he pulled that piece of glass out? The intestines, the intestines of that vampire, the big intestine and the small intestine What the hell! And now, your biggest idea turned out to be to dissect a vampire and then get his tissue samples, blood samples, brain cells, and stem cells? Simmons, are you sure you're really okay like this?! β
"Of course I don't have a problem!" Simmons stared at Fitz with wide eyes. Her eyes, which had been larger, were now largerβwhat she meant when she told Fitz that she felt offended. "It's science, Fitz! You can't let a little sensory frustration affect the search for science, right? You have an unprofessional attitude! Besides, I'm just using my curiosity to deflect my discomfort! You don't need to repeat what happened last night. And now you're bringing back bad memories for me! It's all your fault, Fitz, and Skye must agree with me. Right, Skye? β
Apparently Skye's presence had already been noticed by them. And the 'they' here include, but are not limited to, Simmons.
"By the way, Skye, I wanted to ask before Simmons complained, what are you holding?"
Simmons rolled his eyes: "It's a little puppy, a cute pit bull." But Fitz, I'm disappointed in you. In order to accuse me of being too methodical, you even asked such a question......"
"No, I didn't." Fitz was very innocent now, "Of course I knew it was a pit bull. What I really want to ask is, how did it come to be and why did Skye sleep with it in her arms? β
Fitz's voice fell, and then with Simmons, the scientific duo, who had been arguing so much that no one else - including Chief Coulson and Cold Rider May - couldn't find the space to speak, looked at Skye at this time, with the same meaning on their faces, all curious about the 'how' and 'why' of Skye and the Bulldog.
Skye, who was stared at by the two of them suddenly, was still not used to the way the two science babies communicated for a while, and it took about four or five seconds before she came back to her senses.
"Oh, I didn't sleep with it. It's cute, but it's ...... Well, it appeared in my bed on its own, and it was there when I woke up. Skye hesitated. By the way, I suspect it's the dog our teammate who hasn't met yet and said he's going to foster it. He's arrived, right? I think he should give us a reasonable explanation. β
As she said this, Skye subconsciously stroked the back of the little pit bull. And the little bulldog curled up in her arms with his short legs, looking like he was enjoying it, and seemed to be very familiar with her. This made Skye's words sound a little less convincing.
And after Skye said that, the focus of the scene finally returned to normal, and came to Coulson, who should have spoken the most.
"Oh, finally, I can talk!" Coulson said angrily at the first sentence. "Yes, your teammate who hasn't met yet is here. The bulldog in Skye's arms was indeed his. According to him, pet centers throughout South Florida didn't want to take it in, so he had to take it on the bus. Still, I wonder why it's so close to you when it's always been so close to us. In addition, he said that he had not yet received the allotted bed, so he slept in the car first. yes, the car you drove out last night - I'm never going to let him touch my Laura, and so are you. And, yes, he hasn't woken up yet. But it's no wonder that he did a lot of things last night to clean up for you. And that reminds me of ...... Are you mistaken? Three young agents with no combat skills, without any support, infiltrate a nightclub run by vampires? What if he didn't happen to be there? What do you all think! β
Listening to Coulson's words, the three young people 'consciously' filtered the words they didn't want to hear. Although Coulson's words carried a lot of his own emotions, worried, happy, angry, etc., some of them were still something that the three young people could not and should not ignore.
For example, the last paragraph.
"Wait, we didn't know it was ...... before we went in."
This is Fitz's words, half a sentence. It was supposed to be a complete sentence, but before he could finish it, Skye pushed him away.
"Yes, we found those vampires." She said as she gestured at Fitz and Simmons, "But we were afraid they were going away, so we followed you before we could contact you." So...... That's what that Regamalick told you? β
At this time, Fitz and Simmons also guessed what Skye was doing. She's downplaying or even hiding the fact that they just said they were going out for a bite to eat but did a lot of extra things, and ended up even going to a nightclub. However, the two science babies almost never lied, so their awkward smiles betrayed Skye in one fell swoop.
Well, it's not just Skye.
"Yes, Malik told me that you went into the nightclub while you were following a group of vampires, and you ran into him who was also spying on the vampires. But now it seems that he is not telling the truth. So you suddenly want to go to a nightclub to pass the time? Coulson was even angrier. Okay, you're grounded! β
Skye glared at Fitz and Simmons in hatred, then gave Coulson a flattering smile to try to get a 'commutation' or a 'probation'. However, before she could speak, there was the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground from the loading ramp and parking space downstairs.
There was silence for a moment, and then Mei, who had not spoken, spoke.
"Looks like the conversation between Agent Ward and Agent Malik wasn't very pleasant!"
