"New world... Hmm."
Ward nodded noncommittally and asked, "Why did you transfer me back from Paris?"
Hill crossed her arms, "Then you'll have to ask Agent Coulson."
Ward chuckled upon hearing this.
"Come on, I have Level 6 clearance. I know that before the Battle of New York, Coulson died in action. I've read the full report."
Just as he spoke with certainty...
Tap tap...
Two soft footsteps from leather shoes sounded.
Coulson stepped out of the shadows in the corner, smiled at him, and said, "Welcome to Level 7."
Ward: (⊙?⊙)?!
…..
Ghost Spider Club.
Skye's Office.
"Submit this document to the development department in Silicon Valley."
"And this one, send it to the partnered component company in three days."
Skye raised a finger and carefully instructed her subordinate, "Got it? Hmm?"
"Yes, Ms. Skye, I understand everything."
The subordinate took the documents and nodded seriously.
"And also..."
Skye opened another video file.
It showed footage of Mike Peterson saving people from a fire.
"According to information from Silver Sable Security, this man is an experimental subject related to stolen project data from the institute. First, log his information into the superhuman database."
Subordinate: "Understood."
"Hmm..."
Skye pondered for a moment before continuing, "Also, check for any documents related to the dark side of the moon..."
"Mhm mhm mhm."
The subordinate nodded repeatedly. "Anything else, Ms. Skye?"
"Not for now, you may go."
Once Skye was alone in the office...
She pressed a switch.
Click.
The one-way glass door automatically closed, activating a holographic projection outside showing Ms. Skye diligently working.
Of course, it was fake...
"Mhm~"
The young woman lifted her strapped high heels, crossing her shapely legs on the desk.
She grabbed a nearby laptop, placed it on her round thighs, and began typing away...
"The dark side of the moon... creatures on the moon's dark side..."
"Hmm, why can't I find anything? Li shouldn't just be messing with me..."
Ever since Li told her that there was a race on the dark side of the moon related to her...
Skye couldn't help but keep thinking about it, growing more and more curious...
"Might as well ask him directly. If he's lying, hmph~"
She muttered to herself softly and dialed Li's communication—
Li: [Skye]
Skye greeted intimately: [Li, I miss you~]
[Miss me? Uh... now? This isn't usually the time you call…]
Li hesitated: [Uh… I'm a bit tied up right now… Can you wait a bit, Skye?]
[Tied up?]
Skye had only been calling out of habit, but upon hearing her boyfriend's suspicious response, she narrowed her eyes...
[Do you have a naked girl next to you, trying not to make a sound?]
[Is it Gwen, Jessica, Felicia, Cindy, or Barbara?]
[...Don't tell me they're all there?]
Li: "..."
[What are you thinking...]
Hu!
He sat up from the clone soldier control pod, his figure flashed with blue light, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Skye.
"Eh?"
Skye glanced at her fully dressed boyfriend, her slender fingers paused on the keyboard, and her expression turned slightly awkward.
"Looks like you're more serious than I thought..."
"What are you doing?"
Li bent down, his right hand resting on the glass desk.
His left hand naturally caressed the girl's smooth legs...
"Mmm..."
Skye bit her lip, feeling the skillful touch of his hand...
...Starting from her open-toed high heels, to her slender ankle wrapped in straps, lingering for a while at the tight curve of her lower leg, then sliding past her smooth knee, gradually moving upward along the soft skin of her thigh...
"So, you've been curious about this all along."
While moving his hand, Li leaned over the desk and glanced at the content Skye was searching on her laptop.
"Yeah, I called you just to ask about this."
Skye playfully stretched out her untouched right leg, nudging him lightly with her toe. "You're not lying to me, right?"
"Of course not."
Li withdrew his hand, walked to her chair, grasped her waist with both hands, and gently lifted her up—
—then sat down on the chair himself...
"Since you're so curious, I'll explain it to you in detail..."
"Eh! Wait!"
Skye clutched her laptop tightly to prevent it from falling.
"If you're going to explain, just explain! Why are you lifting me up... Are you teasing me again? Put me down—ahhh—!"
Just as she was speaking, she let out a soft yelp~
It turned out that Li let go, allowing her to fall gently into his warm embrace.
"Oh... so you just wanted to hug me... You should've said so earlier instead of startling me..."
The girl's soft body squirmed slightly in her boyfriend's embrace before settling down, resting the back of her head against his chest.
"Alright, tell me now. What's in the shadows of the moon? And what does it have to do with me?"
Li glanced at the beauty in his arms, her tempting office attire, as his hands roamed over her while he slowly explained.
"In the shadows of the dark side of the moon, there is a city called Attilan."
"And within Attilan, there is a race known as the Inhumans..."
