There is no more SHIELD... Six Months Later
It had all come down so quickly. Just as they were about to roll out a new fleet of Helicarriers, HYDRA had revealed themselves. They'd been nestling agents inside of SHIELD for years, through all kinds of ranks, sites, and positions. The low end estimate had been something in the neighborhood of fifteen percent of the organization. The higher end estimate had been closer to a third or higher.
Those agents who had remained loyal to the organization, Nick Fury, and their country had prevailed in the end, but the damage around the globe had been catastrophic, to say nothing of the damage to their reputation. Hearings were called, accusations leveled. Nick Fury had simply... disappeared. SHIELD had been disbanded, the agents there of mostly found themselves without jobs. A few, vouchsafed 100 % had remained in service, but most had been debriefed and released into the world.
Simon Fitz was one of those. Like so many of the rest, no other security organization would touch him. They all feared HYDRA corruption that they had somehow missed.
He had found well-paying work in the private sector. His skills with robotics and computers were more than good enough for that. But designing security for smartphones? Building the better browser for people to surf the web while on the toilet? Hardly compared to protecting global freedom.
The others probably had it just as bad...

"I can have the paperwork sent here or you can come to the embassy to sign them. Either way, I'll set up a tour of the available facilities."

"Might as well come to the embassy. Kill two birds with one stone."

"Very well. You'll meet some of the rest of my team when you arrive." Nika didn't hold out much hope Gina and Felicity would be overly welcoming. Gina was... just Gina and this one was definitely too scrawny for her tastes. Felicity would likely not like Nika recruiting another tech person. Or would like it overly much for stealing tech ideas.
Fin would be the welcoming one. The size of a wagon and all.
