Once he'd woken up, there was a lot of protesting and stubbornness until Shigeru agreed to help Owen sort out moving from the hospital he'd taken the priest to. He hadn't known Owen's history, but it happened to be the hospital Owen had originally been turned away by some of the doctors at and he didn't want to stay there and risk it happening again.

Seeing as Shigeru absolutely refused to let him just return to the rectory he lived in, Owen had at least decided to try to contact the 'Inhuman specialist' he knew from SHIELD to see if he was able to help in any way. Turns out he could. Ray managed to pull some strings and got permission to at least get Owen assessed by SHIELD medical, seeing as he had powers (and Ray may or may not have …firmly pointed out that if Owen were to get too stressed at a public hospital, SHIELD might have to go sort out a public use of powers issue later on). It helped that Ray had already been working with the priest to help him understand his abilities and try to uncover some of his background.

Ray had also sent someone to check if Grayson was working, or at least available once he'd heard Owen knew him and the young man was familiar with the priest's discomfort surrounding medical treatment. 

He was surprised when he entered the room, both at seeing Shigeru of all people sitting in a chair and at seeing the usually calm and cheerful priest lying on the bed, pale and clearly uncomfortable.

Owen had been out of the hospital for over a week now and had spent most of that week simply resting or coming in for checks. They were still no closer to finding a solid answer though, which was a little frustrating but rather than dwell on it, Owen had taken up the offer to work with Ray Hartell to improve his control of his abilities.

With permission, Ray had helped him test his barrier. It was interesting to see just how it worked - and didn't. In fact, Owen could keep out specific items or people if he focused properly, while also allowing others in. The barrier could also range from a shield in front of himself to a full bubble type one around himself and anything else he let in. He could also simply use the barrier to keep everyone and everything but himself out for as long as he could hold it. But they were limited in time to train, with Ray's work schedule and Owen needing to rest.

It was late afternoon, nearing sunset. It had been a long day, where Marco had been caught up in a long list of interviews and meetings and paperwork and irritating office workers in other departments who 'couldn't' give him files he requested despite his Clearance. Marco suspected either they had no idea what they were doing, or deliberately chose to mess with him. The third, equally irritating option was that some higher ups simply didn't want him accessing the files.

Regardless of what the problem actually was, he was in a foul mood when he finally was able to check up on things in the training room.

He stood watching Ray testing one of Owen's bubble-type barriers. At first Ray was able to pass his hand through as the priest seemed to be not focusing properly. Afterwards, Ray quickly found himself repelled, thrown backwards off his feet, onto a pile of cushions he'd set up over the training mats.

Rather than getting up and approaching again, Ray sat there. At first he didn't seem to be doing anything but as Marco continued watching, he realised that Ray wasn't simply staring at the barrier, but focusing on it. Surprisingly, after a moment, where the barrier was preventing Ray from reaching Owen with his powers, Marco could actually see the colours linked to whatever the empath was projecting. He had no idea on the association to them, but Marco could see blues, which then were replaced by bright yellows and oranges as Ray seemed to notice the reaction himself.

Well that's certainly interesting, Marco thought. But can he stop actual offensive powers?

"Try this," was all the warning Marco gave before flinging a hand out, sending a shadow hand at the barrier.

Seeing the form he relied on so much simply burst as it collided with the barrier only seemed to add to Marco's sour mood. He shook his head and with an angry wave of his arm, sent a waist height wave of shadows speeding toward the priest. When that broke too, Marco made a sharp, upward gesture with both hands.

Ray let out a quiet curse as the training room grew darker and tried in vain to get Marco's attention, stopping his own powers.

Shadowy hands rose out of the floor around Owen and his barrier, which was bright enough to serve as a lantern in the dark. It hurt Marco's eyes. The hands attacked the barrier, hitting it and some trying to tear it apart. The priest looked scared and it flickered for a moment.

"No!" Owen said, firm and clear. Rather than disappear then, the barrier flickered, then brightened. It seemed to grow stronger, Marco's shadow hands all bursting as his light grew.

Marco had to quickly fling an arm up to shield his eyes as the light spread in a wave, quickly wiping out all Marco's shadows from the room. He said nothing. His usual frown or neutral expression was replaced with a rare sight of genuine fear. The Training head stepped back and then disappeared in his own burst of shadows as he teleported out of the training room.

@empatheticagent asked:

"Don't." Ray gave him a 'don't bother' look. The 'I'm fine' response just wasn't going to work with him.

Ray was probably the one person who would know without a shadow of a doubt if he was 'fine' or not. He could see his very aura, feel his feelings, and yet Sterling had tried to tell him verbally. The man knew better and Sterling should have known better too.

He nodded to the floor, accepting that he had been caught, and sighed.

"I'm... I'm tired. Very very tired. But I..." He trailed off, wanting to assure Ray that he was, in fact, fine, but he didn't know how.

Because he wasn't sure anymore.

"I've got it under control. This year is better. I can feel it."

"So, what part of 'stay clear of this, Ray' did you ..." Thera stopped, huffing out a breath and scrubbing both hands over her face. There was very little point in minding her tone, pretending she wasn't angry. Ray could most likely see it flaring off her like the hyped up neon over a sex shop door.

Had he also seen the flash from her when he got hurt, that second of surprise-horror-fear before she throttled it down? Who knew (besides Ray himself)? But throttling down again was probably a good idea.

"Mm ..." Was she going to have to report this? That struck her as uncomfortably close to being a tattle-tale - a dobber, in his terms - but it was going to be a bit obvious for the next little while. With a sigh she reached into the first aid kit, then paused and pulled out some latex gloves, first, instead.

"It's only skin-to-skin that sets you off, isn't it?"

The Truth Always Comes Out

@empatheticagent

It was almost easy now, since she first came back, which still felt like it was a week or barely a month ago rather than years ago. If she wanted to, Natasha could pretend none of it had happened, but she wasn't the type. However, she couldn't, no matter how hard she worked at suppressing her situation, the truth that she was hiding, it didn't make it go away. Despite her expert self control, all the rigirous and torturous training of her past, she still had days when she felt that empitness, that ache of her soul not being there, and today?

Was one of those days.

Much like an animal, Natasha hid her pain well, acting for all the world normal. The void throbbed inside of her, and she felt it down to her bones,  a coldness that made her feel numb from her finger tips, to her toes and even her hair.

Taking a breath, that suttered as it left her lips. Everyone has breaking points, even those who were taught not to have one. Even without her soul, Natasha was very much human, and she was feeling it today, and her struggle to contain it, to hide it, was becoming almost beyond difficult.

At least she was alone, and she could duck out of sight into the first alley she came across, leaning back against one of the buildings, eyes closed, trying to catch her breath, one hand against her chest, fingers curled like claws.

Do you have any doubts in your Shield team's loyalties? In who's, if so?

"I don't have an official team. But the ones I work most regularly with would be Weimaer, Martin, Hartell and Sterling. I trust them all far more than I do the rest of SHIELD."

[agentsterling]

How different would Sterling be if Merc never happened, both as an agent and at home?

I actually sort of did a magic anon a couple years ago for the Mercversary where Sterling switched places with himself in a world where Merc never happened. Mercless Sterling was very similar to who he was before Merc. He was more casual and laid back, he joked more, and he played pranks. When SHIELD fell he left and proceeded to try and have a normal life as a civilian. He didn't look back. Never returned to the chaotic life of an agent.

One thing I would change about that other him though is I think Sterling might have ended up with Penelope Morgan if Merc never happened. Or maybe even Lyra Stark. Pen had been flirting with him hard core at the time and when Merc took Sterling is when she got close to who eventually became her husband as they bonded over the investigation. Lyra was also Sterling's crush at the time but he asked her to wait to date him until he could sort himself out mentally from what had happened to him. However, she started dating someone else and he respected her decision to move on.

So overall... Happy. Normal. He doesn't regret his time at SHIELD but he wouldn't go back to it either. That chapter is closed. He is... largely unbroken in that world. But he doesn't have Chen. He doesn't have Ara. He isn't a department head as he always hoped to be. There are pros and cons on each side. Seeing this other life made Sterling appreciate where he was in his now. Sort of brought him peace and closure since he always wondered what he'd be like if it never happened. Knowing helped him move on and appreciate what he has.

What is the last thing that they totally overreacted to? What’s their opinion on naps? What do they find they spend a lot of time wondering about?

What is the last thing that they totally overreacted to?

“Me? Overreact? I react just as much as I should for a situation. That being said, the last time I was accused of overreacting, I might have pushed some brunette bimbo off her bar stool for something she said.”

What’s their opinion on naps?

“Naps are underrated and people should take more of them. Preferably on a white sandy beach somewhere warm.”

What do they find they spend a lot of time wondering about?

“I wonder what it’s like to be someone like Khloe Kardashian or Adriana Lima...cameras on them 24/7 and people at their beck and call. Or I wonder where I’m going to fly next or if I’m going to get that gig that I auditioned for.”

How do you feel about Ray Hartell?

Ask my character "How do you feel about ______?" Can be an idea, person(s), place, or thing, and they'll have to answer honestly.

The hardened expression that he normally wears whilst in the office slowly fades and you get a glimpse into his amusement when his lip quirks up for a moment. He’d met Ray Hartell under very…. Interesting circumstances. The man had very literally snapped at him to keep his shit to himself when he’d been doing nothing more than walking down a hallway with an arm full of files heading into yet another meeting. “He’s an interesting man and very likely the only person to tell me to keep my shit to myself.. using his words of course. Interestingly so I do just that.” His tone is light, amused, he wouldn’t mind getting to know the other man more than their limited interaction. 

#empatheticagent #I will always be amused with how they met and clearly as is Mason XD
