Halloween wasn't a thing when I was a kid. I don't think we thought about getting dressed up to beg for candy, not when we got really good begging a pie from old Mrs. Filmer. She made the best pumpkin pie. Buc

[SITWELL]

You have one of these things, right?

[AVENGERS + SHIELD]

Sitwell is legit.

[SHIELD]

There's something I probably should have mentioned awhile back. The GH.325 - the drug that was used to bring me back from the dead, has been known to have adverse side effects in test subjects. The project was scrapped by SHIELD after the tests and I was the one who shut it down. It was decided that it would only be used in the case of an Avenger - where the possibility outweighed the risk. Director Fury decided that I qualified. I still do not agree with this decision.

Garrett took a higher dose of the drug and it destroyed him.


I felt you all should be aware. Data is being kept as to any behavioral or physiological changes.

[Avengers]

It might be good to have a meeting maybe Thursday of next week?

TOWER RESIDENTS:

Um.

Hey. So I was told to get on here and say hello to everyone else who's staying at the tower, because this is easier than going door to door. There are a lot of those. And I'm probably not allowed in all of them.

I'm Julie. Tony said I could stay here for right now, so... I'm going to be around. Is it really 2014

Grant Ward is being moved to a private suite in Avengers Tower. He'll have limited floor access and will be fitted with a tracking bracelet.

...special dispensations will be made for dog walking. I never thought I'd type those words

Only complain or ask questions if they're ones I haven't heard before.

[SHIELD'

There's been increased reports of vigilante activity, both the normal and super powered kind. I'll be divvying up assignments for select Agents to investigate these reports.

Skye - We have something right up your alley. Kate Bishop, daughter of the wealthy businessman, Derek Bishop. She's been searching the internet for SHIELD related topics. A lot. Usually when people do that, there's something more to it than curiosity. Maybe she's just a fan, but it's good to make sure. I'll forward you the information we have on the case, so far.

Bobbi Morse - Several weeks ago, an eye witness reported a a situation between two individuals where one of the suspects displayed super powers, it looks like heightened strength and possible flight. Look for the details of the case in your Inbox.

[Clint Barton]

You don't happen to have a daughter, do you? Or maybe a clone?

[SHIELD]

Why does Grant Ward have a journal?

Are we just going to forgive him for what he did that easily?

So, apparently I've been upgraded from books to actual communication. I don't really understand why but I'm not sure how much of an improvement it'll be, but we'll see.

So. Is everyone...recovered?

So, New York. What up?

I haven't been here in ages. I think I was eleven. I remember the pizza was good.

[May]

You're in charge for a few days.

[SHIELD]

I'll be out for a few days. May's in command.

[Fitz]

Not sure if they've let you on this yet, but glad you're awake. I'll stop by to visit as soon as I'm back in town.

[Billy Koenig to Director Coulson and Team at the Playground]

I understand you'll be leaving the Playground, soon. It was great having some company around, but we all have work that must be done.

Before you leave, I'll be collecting your lanyards to keep safe in the event of your return.
