A government organization.

The strategic homeland intervention, enforcement and logistics division.

I just agonized for like 20 minutes trying to remember when SHIELD's name changed in 616 so FUCK IT

[redrooms]

[The name is wrong, but the acronym... Well.]

And what did you do?

xD

[onthefitz]

I'm a scientist and engineer.

private; and then i forget my html whoops

[redrooms]

Care to introduce yourself? My name is Natasha.

[onthefitz]

My name's Leo. Leo Fitz.

[redrooms]

[She doesn't recognize it.]

Homeland security? That sort of thing?

[onthefitz]

That's putting it a bit lightly.

[redrooms]

Then elaborate for me.

[onthefitz]

SHIELD is a covert agency working outside of the government.

We deal with inhuman occurrences, aliens, superhumans and things of that nature.

[redrooms]

[Alright, screw it.]

My last name is Romanov. [That should click for him, even if he's just working a desk job.] Are you an agent? Be more specific.

[onthefitz]

...As in the Black Widow, former SHIELD agent and member of the Avengers?

[Well..shit.]

Yes ma'am. I'm a field agent working under Phil Coulson. We've been working underground since the fall of SHIELD at the hands of HYDRA.

[redrooms]

[Wait what... the fuck...]

Working underground for Coulson?

[onthefitz]

Yes ma'am.

Agent Coulson was..everyone thought he had died but he didn't. Former director Fury brought him back using alien dna as a catalyst, basically.

When SHIELD collapsed, Fury faked his death and named Coulson director. We've been operating underground since.

[redrooms]

Director of what? An underground version of SHIELD?

[onthefitz]

We're technically the proper SHIELD but it's..a bit complicated.

[redrooms]

There are two issues here: I've never heard of Coulson, and I've never heard of you. Three, if you include the detail about HYDRA infiltrating SHIELD.

[onthefitz]

How

Unless

Unless our worlds are parallels or one another? Alternates. As much as I don't like to consider the idea it

Unless you aren't really Natasha Romanoff.
