Reporting For Duty (SHIELD/Open)

[Deleted]

“No need to apologize, it happens to us all”. Phil smiled and chuckled a bit. “She does but if you do get it done early then Maria could back off unless she has other tasks for you to do. Thankfully for veteran members of SHIELD, we do have pull to get her to back off at the same time”. Phil told her as the man looked at his watched and noticed that it was early still. There was no sight of Maria Hill marching down the hallway to demand people get back to work or else suffer the consequences. Nick Fury demanded better but at least he was kind of more chilled out.

“I have some connections in SHIELD that can cover for us while were gone. We should be good to go but I think we’ll be fine in the end. Besides, it’s not like we’re leaving SHIELD for good, we’ll be back before anyone notices it”. Phil told them but at the same time, knowing Maria Hill she most likely would track whatever Phil, Bobbi and Ava were doing. In Maria Hill’s eyes, she would call it slacking and not doing any kind of work. If there is anything that Phil has learned, never double cross or try to go against Maria Hill or you’ll regret it in the end.

Bobbi did notice that Ava had gone quiet and was curious, but maybe she had just made up her mind and was ready to get on with it. She listened to Phil, nodding as he seemed to think they could handle everything on the helicarrier for a while, and finally suggested "So should we take your car then? Might make more sense, especially if we're getting coffee." She turned to include Ava, hoping everything was okay.

"Maybe we'll stop and check on the cat first, that way the coffee will be hot still when we come back" she suggested, looking forward to some time on the ground yet still a bit nervous. As Phil said he had some people to cover for them, she nodded and said "That's good! At least someone can jump in if needed." She then started thinking about getting a biscotti or some kind of cookie to go with her coffee, she for sure deserved a treat.

[Gummy]

Ava smiled at the thought of going off ship.

"I call shotgun!"

Then made towards the shiny red car. Well it was beautiful.

"I'm on my off day. So only on call."

She looked at the car without touching it. The dash was similar to her own bike but with several differences. The controls looked easy enough. She knew she wasn't allowed to drive it but part of her hoped that she could one day. Just to be in the car was one thing but to drive it... a whole different matter. Yes, she had passed her driving test but she was still only allowed to drive in a few areas of the world. Whenever she asked to fly she was always laughed at and told a profound 'no!' which really wasn't fair. Perhaps when Siesta was here she might be allowed to at least be in the co-pilot seat.

As normal Ava was taking every little detail in and part of her was giddy with excitement, although she tried to hide it there was still a glint in her eyes.

“Of course, besides, I doubt it would be better than getting a ride from Tony Stark. The man has so many inventions, he could turn his own car into a fighting machine”. Phil joked, but from going to Avengers/Stark Tower from time to time and speaking with Stark on the issues that affect the planet overall, Tony had a lot going on. Phil would come in the middle of Tony working on the next set of armors or whatever he was fixing up. It was amazing how one man could do all these things and still be the Co-Director of SHIELD.

Making his way out to the Heli carrier with the ladies, Phil took out his keys and pressed the button for the doors to open, which it did. Phil got in and made sure he was comfortable before the man checked the controls amongst everything else when it comes to his baby in LOLA. Others wouldn’t understand what made Phil so admired when it came to this red car vehicle. It goes all the way back to his childhood and to have it now to this day amazed Coulson. “Alright, are we ready? Just to be clear, what’s our first destination?”

Bobbi grinned as Ava called shotgun, she would gladly take the backseat! She also smiled at her friend when she said it was technically her day off, just being on call, and replied "That's nice! I'm usually weirdly tense on my days off, waiting for the phone to ring." She supposed she'd gotten a bit cynical over the years, expecting the worst, but at least she could still enjoy the good things in life at the same time.

She laughed at Phil's statement about Tony Stark making his car be a fighting machine, and replied "Yeah, I can totally see that! Wouldn't be surprised if there were blueprints somewhere in his office, or even notes scribbled on a piece of paper!" She walked to Lola and slid into the back, waiting for the other two to be ready, making sure she had her money on her. Wouldn't want to get to the coffee shop and not have a way to pay! When Phil asked where they were going first, she waited for Ava to answer, since she'd mentioned checking on her cat.

[Gummy]

Ava jumped into the front seat with ease. It was a lovely car. She just had to remember not to try and make any sparks otherwise they would all be in trouble. She had been banded from fighting on the helicarrier as well due to the risks she could pose. A warm smile shone on her face.

"First stop, Harlem YMCA. Sasha Cat will love to see more friends. The man who runs my old home was relocated to Harlem last year. He took Sasha Cat with him to make sure she was looked after. Need to pick up some fish or fish sticks. She just loves a good fish!"

It was going to be good just to feel free for a little bit. Even if it was only for an hour or so. She was excited but who wouldn't be and she didn't mind the excitement even if it would be with Coulson and Bobbi. She was really starting to like Bobbi but still she hadn't let her guard fully down with her. That would take a lot longer. Coulson had been on several missions with her already and had helped debrief her a few times. She knew he was always looking after her especially after Alexei. Why did she just think of him. Now she fell quiet whist maintaining her smile so as to hide the pain she felt.

“Alright then, first stop, Harlem YMCA. Make sure you guys are buckled up because we’re in for one heck of a ride”. Phil puts his seat belt on before he puts the coordinates in as he turned on the ignition feeling the car slowly move up. Once it was in the middle, they were all in the clear and Lola took off with Phil’s one hand on the driving wheel as the three of them left the Helli carrier and making their way to where Ava wanted to go. Phil sat back and made himself comfortable as he felt the cool wind beat against his face where he didn’t mind it at all.

Right with Lola in the air as they completely left the Helli carrier, Phil felt totally at east. It was moments like these where Phil didn’t have to worry about a darn thing. The thing with being a SHIELD agent that has worked his way up in the ranks, you got a lot of good things coming your way. Phil, despite the moments that had tested him in SHIELD, came out on top and learned everything that Nick taught him. There were no easy way out of serving SHIELD, you just must take what’s in front of you, life as a SHIELD agent felt so good.

Bobbi buckled up and waited for the others, smiling as Ava mentioned where her cat and friend were and nodding as her friend mentioned getting some fish. "Is there a grocery store close by we could stop at?" she asked, settling back in the seat and working her jaw just a bit as her ears popped as they took off. She was so used to being on the helicarrier that being in a smaller aircraft of sorts threw off her equilibrium. She was still having fun though and that was the important part!

She peeked out over the edge and looked at the ground far below, half nervous and half excited, even in a plane she wouldn't get this kind of view! After a minute, she looked up front and smiled, excited about going on an adventure with coworkers. Speaking of, she asked "Phil, how long did it take you to get used to a flying car? How long have you and Lola been together?" She then settled back again, ready to hear a good story.

[Gummy]

Ava fascened her seat belt easily and she couldn't help but enjoy the excitement. A little bit of her was screaming to get going, that was suppressed but it didn't stop her pulse from rising making her watch beep. Looking down she tapped to see the reading but then forgot about it. She was going to enjoy this as much as she enjoyed riding her harley. Just the feeling of having weight but being out in the open air was enjoy to make her want to squeal like a little girl but she didn't. She heard Bobbi speak and thought for a moment.

"Should be."

Work had kept her busy and she normally picked up the fish sticks from a stop enroute so she hadn't needed to look for a grocery in the neighbourhood before. Ava piped in.

"I can't wait to learn to fly!"

Although part of her feared flying due to her powers but if she was able to master them. Move forward then just maybe... maybe she could learn to fly a quinjet or perhaps even Lola. For now though she was happy not to spark up. The storm was almost always there but it was never as bad as when she is on a mission.
