"Rising Tide"

Coulson walked into Stark Tower with Skye, all by himself. He'd asked the others on his team, and, to no one's surprise, not a single one of them was willing to go talk to Alvin at a time like this.

As they approached the elevator reserved for Stark, Coulson was surprised to see Frank Castle, who rarely left Community School, along with his son, Nick.

Under Frank's gaze, Coulson instinctively shivered. Then he glanced at Skye, who looked like a rebellious teenage girl standing beside him.

"She's just a little hacker. Isn't Alvin being a bit too 'harsh' by calling you in?"

Frank glanced at Skye, looking confused. He had no idea what was going on, but he was smart enough to keep quiet. He simply fixed a cold stare on Coulson and Skye, putting enough pressure on both the agent and the girl.

Unable to sit still, Nick tilted his head and sized up Skye, who was clearly under Coulson's control. "What's wrong? Did you get caught doing something bad?"

Nick glanced at Coulson, who was sweating under his father's stare, then lowered his voice and said to Skye, "You're in trouble. Coulson has a habit of eating people. He'll pry open your skull and scoop out your brains with a spoon."

Coulson watched helplessly as Skye shuddered in fright and moved away from him. He glanced at Frank, who hadn't said a word, then shrugged at Nick. "Buddy, watching The Silence of the Lambs at ten is a crime. Your father could get sued over this."

Then he pointed at Skye. "You've scared our guest..."

Nick smugly raised his eyebrows. Without even looking at Skye, he continued slandering Coulson. "You can't fool me. Alvin said S.H.I.E.L.D.'s senior agents are all Blackhearts."

"Which parts do you usually eat first?"
