  • Continued from: Major Problems
  • Eleven Hours Later



    Fury was indulging in another cigarette -- his eighth in the five hour span since the technicians he begun work on this little renovation project. He watched quietly from the overhead observatory while they worked below. On the table, their prize of the evening, the cyber-terrorist who had attempted to sabotage their field operation in Westchester. When everything had gone to hell, they had managed to recover the woman in a critical failure state.

    S.H.I.E.L.D. was no amateur when it came to manipulating their adversaries and Fury made sure to fast-track their guest into one of their notorious 'rehabilitation' programs. The woman was like a Christmas present for the lab techs, it was an opportunity for them to get their hands on some new toys and they left no stone unturned, stripping the equipment and reconfiguring almost everything mechanical. There was some technology they kept for themselves, things that would jump start the R&D labs for years to come. Others were much more familiar and easy to manipulate.

    "They're ready for you, sir," an Agent informed Fury after entering the room. The Director picked up the file the man offered him and followed him out of the observatory to the elevators.

    "Give me the short story," Nick requested once they were on board. He thumbed through the file, picking out several pieces of information, but turned to the accompanying agent for the details.

    "Sir, Project Koestler has managed to identify and reprogram the major directives associated with the subject's cybernetic systems. Due to the extensive nature of the subject's modifications, Project Koestler gives us a basis from which to effectively control the subject. Multiple failsafes have been implemented including, but not limited to, a localized EMP implanted within the subject's cerebral cortex, an embedded tracking device, and voice command recognition capabilities associated with that of Executive Director Nicholas Fury,"

    "And how does she feel about this?"

    "Sir?"

    "Does she remember anything?"

    "The procedure included a complete system reboot of her electronic functions. Anything in her computer memory database has been erased though it is possible that she has retained the knowledge stored within her human capacity. She will remember her name and perhaps her life prior to her original modification," the man replied as the elevator came to a stop and they entered the lab. As the pair crossed the room, the technicians stepped aside and the operating table inclined, bringing Animus to a standing position.

    "Is she on?" Fury leaned close. There was still some cosmetic work to be done. The primary task of the lab techs had been to reprogram the woman and many of the injuries that she had received during the battles remained prominent as exposed metal and muscle caught the pulsating glow of the lab lights.

    "Subject will respond to physical stimuli as well as your voice commands, sir,"

    Fury put out his cigarette on the steel table, exhaling a long stream of smoke as he gaze shifted between the Agent and Animus, "Rise and shine sweetheart, tell me your name and why you're here,"

She looked at him and didn't really quite recall the why but she knew who she was and who she had worked for before this, however the why she was here seemed like a vague memory that her mind was still processing along with a million other newer and faster signals that were running though her. "Nicole Tesla, and I must think for a second about why. My memory is a little shaky given circumstances, however no matter what should he or any of his agents move I will be there to stop them... The demon who held my soul will act, for the key is now also the guardian to stand in his way." Her words were resolute as she remembered having to fight for her own life within her own prison, she remember being the servant of a Beelzebub who then tried to use her to break another part of his seal. Those moments defined who she was, but also the fact that they had saved her life and were working on rebuilding her also meant that her requests for help she never remembered making had not gone unnoticed.

"Sir there's something interfering with out readings, but it's not showing up on any scans. When she was brought in this happened to but vanished after we replaced all the systems, it seems to have returned and wait it's gone now..." One of the techs spoke up all of the sudden as he brought the visuals onto a nearby monitor, the energy was much like that from the gateway to th demon realms when it was open everything that had gone into her so far even if it was not part of the original work had been integrated.

Nicole knew what this was and figured to let them figure this out, while she lost her teleportation she had retained the very essence that once fueled it and her. The dark magic that surrounded her remained, as it was her edge against the demons and their agents in this world. It was her final power to fulfill her vow, it was the darkness and light within her and reflecting her resolve to be the guardian and sentinel against her former master. "I'm here because I owe you my life, and such a debt can never truly be repaid. I am here to work for you in the end I assume, am I not correct?" She was speaking in a tone that showed no disrespect, yet she showed as much respect as he could while unclear why she was here and what her future would be. He should have realized what the soul knew could not be erased, as it was always where the biggest scars were.

    Fury grunted but otherwise remained silent as Nicole answered his inquiries. He wasn't hung up about the demon or the talk about souls, as far as S.H.I.E.L.D. was concerned it wasn't nearly as important as the reestablishment of the New Ultimates and Avenger Initiatives. The Director glanced at the various monitors representing all of their guest's vitals and other readouts. It was too soon to start anything yet, there was no approximate timeline for all of the woman's systems to be green and S.H.I.E.L.D. approved.

    It was a formality to wait for everything. The analysts were quick to assure Nick that the Koestler subject was already operating well beyond initial predictions and optimal performance would only require several sessions within the lab itself, "Good answer," Fury replied, "Because when we found you, your ass was a heap of scrap metal. This is United States tax investment, whether you think your debt can or cannot be repaid, trust me when I say it will not be for lack of trying,"

    He walked to the opposite side of the room instructing the lab computer to release the woman's safety restraints. Pulling the blinds, the Fury looked over the water below through the false window and bathed the room in "natural" light, "You work for S.H.I.E.L.D. now. And S.H.I.E.L.D. works for me, it won't take your supercomputer to figure out what that means,"

"I wanted to live, that's why I sent the messages I did when I was lucid. I understand that I work for you, and you will have my full support and the Tesla family legacy at your disposal." She replied and then took in a breath, she was still not one hundred percent but she had plans for a weapon stored safely away. Maybe now it would be possible to build, but she would first give up her stolen weapons and hellfire bomb. She could be a hero again, and she seemed more than willing to accept this reality. Looking at Fury in the eye she did not blink, in fact she only closed her eyes when she'd finished speaking.

"This is where you can find the stolen guns, and many designs you may be interested in. I would ask that they be under my supervision, should you find any feasible. Tesla, two, four, tango, charlie, five, seven, gamma, baker, romeo... That will give you full access to my facility, and any Tesla coil designs I may have. There is a prototype generator for my systems there, the first use of the coil should not be as a weapon." She gave him the address as well as a copy of the code in her voice so it could be recorded in a manner to perfectly simulate her voice, so that it would unlock the entire place and disable security. All of this was a show of faith that she had spoken true when she stated her understanding of the conditions. Both S.H.I.E.L.D and the government saw fit to give her a second chance so she would not waste it, but she would still act as a masked hero just under a different name when it came to her own problems and her own redemption.

She had spoken while walking around to get her sense of balance and feel for being back on her feet, she looked out at the false window and wondered just what they had done when they fixed her up. Perhaps they had already raided her facility and found what she was talking about, even so it was not good to assume anything when it came to most things. "He may come after S.H.I.E.L.D by mere association, though I could eliminate the man he would use. Senator for the state of Pennsylvania, Micheal Lansig. He has other agents, this man thrives on the wars he starts..." She spoke from memory as had met the man once on a task, and she had worked with him to help ignite a conflict with what had been labeled a terrorist act that he publicly spoke out against.

    Several of Fury's aides scurried as he waved his approval for them to follow up on the leads Seraphim provided. All in all, Fury was starting to feel like there was some semblance of the world he had known before Magneto's breakdown finally showing through. The reinstatement of the Avengers and Ultimates was well on its way, and the Director was even monitoring a situation regarding the Claremont woman's connection to Charles Xavier's work.

    Things were slowly returning to normal.

    Fury raised an eyebrow in amusement at the warning his Koestler subject conveyed, "And when he gets here, we'll kick his ass too," the Director declared in full confidence. S.H.I.E.L.D. had withstood much more than anyone was ever fully aware of -- between Reed Richard's reality hopping misadventures and Hydra's near daily rule-the-world scheme, they had a lot under their belt.

    "Lansig? We didn't reassemble your fried carcass for you to eliminate a United States Senator. If you have information, relay it to the technicians and we will look into it," Fury remained expressionless, omitting the fact that intelligence already had a rather substantial file on the man. It was all compiled as part of their dossier on the Ghost Rider, and really tangled stuff. Fury turned away with his hands clasped behind his back, "You're here as part of a revitalization program involving the old Avenger Initiative. We have already uploaded most of the relevant information about the previous incarnation and their major duties to your system so there's no need to get detailed. You will be based out the Triskelion, but you are free to live as you will. We have a direct line through our SigInt Division for communication."

    "Once you feel sufficiently well, you're free to go," the Director paced to the door and opened it before turning back, "Oh, one more thing... what should we call you?"

She merely nodded and the information about the Avenger initiative as she went over the data they had uploaded, however what struck her was that the group was never the same each time. Things made sense as to her exact role, however she had offered Fury her expertise should he green light any of her designs. “I notice several systems upgrades as well, including new systems and subroutines outside of your fail safes. Everything is understood, as for what to call me the answer is simple. Dark Seraphim, I find that name fitting. If that is everything colonel, once I am back at my facility or fitting workspace you will have an outfit within a few days.” She looked out the window and even though there was still some wounds, she did have one thing she wanted to do as well. If she had a choice she would carry on her work as a scientist and engineer, however her expertise would benefit S.H.I.E.L.D since she had to rely on herself for a while and had to get good.

“Then I believe that I shall wait for what your men gather, while I recover I would like to learn about what enemies you have. You will know what I find on him, the means do justify the end however.” She finished and then scanned the dossiers of the other members of this new Avenger initiative, she would have to upload her dossiers on Lansig and other agents of beelzebub and augment them with whatever info she could get here. She would try to leave Fury out of her personal agenda, Lansig and any others were hers to take out. Though right now she would focus on recovering, and then plan accordingly based on how things went.

The world was not right and this age of intolerance had to end in her mind, looking at what was visible and realizing that from her reflection in the glass that she would have to face her crimes one day. “Perhaps some of your designs could also use upgrades, especially when it comes to viral attacks... A recommendation, nothing more.” She hoped he would have the answers, she could feel it in her systems and through her spirit. She had no idea what this power was, before it was there now it was a mystery since all it did was sit there and permeate her systems and body.
