Carter Eilian
Location: SHIELD headquarters | Tags: Evelyn | Skye | Attolia | Peter
Carter pursed his lips together and watched as Evelyn left the room to wait for them out in the hall. It was pretty obvious that the woman couldn't care less about them, and while he could understand that to some extent, thinking that perhaps she was the type of person to only care about those she knew... No, she was acting like they'd personally wronged her or something. Did they personally wrong her or something? The blonde once more shot a questioning glance toward Fury, but the director gave him zero response. Maybe this was just the personality that Hydra instilled in people. Evelyn sort of reminded him of a friend of his, and how she'd behaved toward others just after escaping Hydra's hold. Like it was her against everyone else. Carter sighed and took a set of earplugs from Skye. "Thanks." He said to her, stashing them into his jacket's pocket for later use. "I'll meet you guys in the hangar. I've got to grab a few things and meet up with someone who's also coming with us." He explained, trailing off a bit at the end. "Oh, and he might need a set of those too." He said with a slight smile, hoping that Skye had more of those earplugs handy. Carter didn't know if Peter's suit could block out noise for him if necessary, but it was better to be prepared just in case that wasn't one of the suit's features. "I won't be long. Just a few minutes." He assured them, knowing that everyone else was ready to head out asap and wouldn't want to held up for much longer.
When he left Fury's office, he spared a small glance toward Evelyn just outside of the doorway, but he figured that if she hadn't just heard what he'd said that Skye or Attolia would explain. The agent first headed off toward the armory to grab some ammunition for his pistol and few other things such as a fresh knife or two. Afterward, he went back to elevator and pressed the button for the first floor, hoping that Peter hadn't been waiting too long for him back in the room they'd agreed to meet back up at. As the lift went down, the blonde let out a breath he hadn't been aware of holding, the fact that they still had zero plan hitting him like a ton of bricks. He was about to bring a kid into a possible war zone with zero freaking plan. This whole situation was one that could end very badly if they weren't careful, but Carter could already tell that his fellow teammates were more of the 'guns blazing' type than the type to sit down and plot it all out. Maybe they'd have time to talk while on the Quinjet, but he still doubted that it would be enough. This was going to be dangerous, and he couldn't even really trust one of those within their rescue party. Great.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Carter set out toward where he knew Parker to be waiting. The walk wasn't a long one and with how brisk his steps were, he'd arrived within a short amount of time and pushed the doors open to find a fully suited-up Spider Man awaiting his return. Good, so the teen didn't run into any problems, it seemed. He'd thought about that later and had to mentally face-palm for not thinking about how awkward it might be if someone spotted Peter and thought that the kid was trying to break into his room. "Hey, sorry to keep you waiting." The blonde was quick to apologize. "So, uh, good news and bad news. The good news is that Fury approved our mission. We've got a Quinjet waiting for us out in the hangar and a small team put together, as well." He explained, stuffing his hands into his pockets. Honestly, Carter had been hoping for a bit more, but maybe a smaller team would be even better than a larger one? Less people would be easier to slip into Hydra's base without detection, at least. "The bad news is that Stark won't be joining us anymore." He told Peter. "I wasn't given a reason, but I guess that something really important came up." Carter said with a slight shrug. Tony was undoubtedly a very busy man. If he couldn't help them anymore, then they just had to assume that there was a good reason for it. Maybe Fury didn't tell him because it was classified. Yeah, that was probably it. "Everyone's ready to head out, though. I told them that we'd meet up with them in the hangar."
