Chapter 100: The Interdimensional Traveler
It had been a month since the incident at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, and once the organization's secrets flooded the internet, its fate was sealed.
Governments around the world were furious. An intelligence agency as deeply infiltrated by Hydra as S.H.I.E.L.D. was no longer something the world could tolerate.
Hydra—the shadow behind World War II, the puppeteer in the darkness.
Nations didn't just distance themselves from S.H.I.E.L.D.—some went as far as to label it a terrorist organization, banning all operations in the name of S.H.I.E.L.D. on their soil.
Within days, the once-mighty S.H.I.E.L.D. was dismantled. A few loyal agents wandered in disbelief, unable to grasp how an organization so vast could be reduced to ashes overnight.
It was over.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. that had once loomed large was now driven underground—if it even existed at all.
Before disappearing from the public eye, Nick Fury handed over the reins to Agent Phil Coulson. Though "Director of S.H.I.E.L.D." was now a hollow title, Coulson accepted it.
What remained of the organization? A slightly dated aircraft with some high-end instruments and a mysterious suitcase Fury gave to Coulson.
That was all.
