For years the truth was hidden.

People from other times, other worlds, heroes.

But now we know they're among us.

What does S.H.I.E.L.D. stand for, Agent Ward?

_________________1____________________.

And what does that mean to you?

It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out S.H.I.E.L.D..

I'm Clearance Level 6.

I know that Agent Coulson was killed in action before the battle of New York.

Welcome to Level 7.

What is that?

It's a superhero, Agent Ward.

We work the cases that S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't classified: the strange, the unknown.

It's not spy vs. spy anymore.

The whole world is in on the action.

You're in danger.

What do you mean danger?

S.H.I.E.L.D..

I should carry a shield?

Scary men in dark suits who come after guys like you.

Is that who I think it is?

She's just a pilot.

Melinda May is just a pilot?

Fitzsimmons?

Fitz.

Simmons.

I'm engineering, she's a bioche.

It's not of this earth.

And nothing can stop us...

Hey.

There are two ways we can do this.

Oh, is one of them the easy way?

No.

Oh...

I'm not exactly a team player.

_______________3_________________.

I've seen giants.

The good ones, they're not heroes because of what they have; it's what they do with it.

We're not the only ones interested in people with powers.

Only take a shot if you have to.

We have a couple of hours at most, there's no way that we could...

Don't ever tell me there's no way!

Don't touch Lola!
