“Yeah, he kind of did act like a cool dad. Brought me coffee. I expected more of a 24-style interrogation, especially since they didn’t tell me what agency it was at first, with Jack Bauer busting down my door and beating me until I told them which enemy country I was working for. Instead he was pretty chill and in the end offered to let me come here. Best case scenario, all things considered.”
“Now that is awesome. Are they actually gods, or just aliens? Can you even tell me that? Sorry.” Alexis looked away a bit sheepishly. “No need to spill state secrets.”
“So, they don’t tell you what agency they’re from, but they have their logo on everything? Honestly. I’ve seen it on water bottles. They’ll probably fire me for this, but S.H.I.E.L.D. isn’t that good of a secret organisation,” she retorted. “In all seriousness, he’s great. I’m lucky to have stumbled onto him and not some other stone-faced prick, even though he hogs the mic and will hold a grudge if you say something negative about Captain America.”
“Both, actually. ‘God’ is a man-made term. The technical definition would be ‘aliens that arrived to earth, shocked the fuck out of everyone and as mankind had never had contact with creatures from other planets, jumped straight onto the opportunity of giving them credit for this,’” Skye motioned all around herself with her hand, then setting it down onto her lap again. “Alexis, I’ve worked for an anonymous hacker group that was hellbent on establishing freedom of information. I can tell you everything if you want to.”
