SHIELD Triskelion - 1100

At the SHIELD headquarters in Washington DC, level seven agent Jonathan Trent was waiting patiently in one of the training rooms. He had been told by one of the higher agents to meet there, but it wasn't specified what time he had to be there. It was odd since there was usually an exact time of meeting, but he didn't ask questions. He knew that he was being drafted to a new team, but he wasn't given the information about who was on the team and who was leading it. Honestly, he wouldn't care who lead the team as long as it wasn't him. Normally he would be granted access to things as simple as who was on his team, but something about the whole thing seemed a little off to him. Normally the team leader would talk to all of the team members and organize them for a meeting, but instead it was higher Agent Phil Coulson, who was a level eight agent. He informed Trent about the team and the meet-up location, and told him that he wasn't the leader of the group.

So here he was, standing patiently in one of the advanced training rooms meant for mutants and people with special abilities. It was like the danger room that was housed in the Xavier Academy, but smaller, and there were more of them so more people could train individually at the same time. He had used them before, and he had no trouble completing the scenarios given to him. He couldn't help but think that there had to be a better place to meet up, like the cafeteria or just about anywhere else. A training room that wasn't active was just a giant silver box when looking from the inside. There were hexagonal panels that lined the walls and ceiling, and the floor didn't have a single mark on it. It was just an odd place to wait at, and he wanted to meet the team so they could get out of the place and do something.

A little ways away from the SHIELD base of operations, a rather strange man was walking through the streets. He wore a dark red striped suit and a red mask with large black eye holes and smaller white ones inside the black. Now, it wasn't all that uncommon to see a superhero or caped crusader in public, but this was just odd. He strode across the sidewalk with unmatched confidence as he whistled a tune to himself.

This was Deadpool.

Normally, he would have been in his normal mercenary attire, but he decided that something as important as going to the SHIELD headquarters would require a certain level of maturity and confidence.

And since he didn't have that first one, he decided to go overboard with the second to make up for it.

This would he the first meeting of many with him and his team, the appropriately named Odd Squad. After bugging Director Fury for long enough, the cyclop finally gave him access to a team, but quickly wondered why he even allowed Wilson on SHIELD grounds at all.

"This is going to be fun!"

Remi sighed deeply in slight aggravation. While she was a proponent of training constantly, she much preferred training in the outdoors. There were more places to swing from and climb on...and less time spent in a Danger Room look alike. But this was where the meeting was being held, so this is where she was.

Remi walked in with a small smirk, dressed in a turquoise blouse, black leather jacket and skinny jeans. If anyone knew Remi well enough, or at least her file, they'd know that she was already dressed for combat. She looked over to her fellow agent and gave him a small nod in greeting. "Hey." She said before she just leaned up against a wall almost lazily.

She had no idea of what was going on with this team, only that she was called up and was told that she was a part of it. As long as she wasn't leading it, she didn't mind joining up. "I feel like I've seen you before." her tone indicated that she could have easily been talking to herself, or maybe even Raze or the other agent. She was apt to be addressing any one of the three equally. Or...maybe someone else. Or no one.

Karuba walked through the SHIELD facility with a stupid looking bear grin on his face. As he made his way to join the team he had been assigned to as an ultimatum more then a few agents tried to pull their weapons on him but he would quickly show them his badge which was pinned to his fur. Finally Karuba got to the door to the meeting room and opened the door with great difficulty with his octo-arm. As Karuba tried to squish himself through the door he yelled "HEY THERE FELLAS! this the team meeting thing?" but as he tried to get the rest of the way through the door he realized he was grade A stuck. "Hey mind giving a freak or nature a hand? I seem to be a little bit stuck." Karuba said with his stupid smile plastered on his face.

The host looked over to the bear...octopus...brain...thingy as it tried to get through the door. The young woman pushed her bangs out of her eyes and shot some of the symbiote webbing from her wrist onto the door. The webbing covered the entire door frame before she attached more webbing onto the talking bear. Wordlessly, she pulled hard on the protrusion, at the same time, the webbing on the door smoothed out like glass as she attempted to pop him from the door.

Jonathan was staring off into space when the first other member of the group walked into the training room. He took in her appearance and nodded back to her. Many Shield Agents didn't wear suits and ties, especially field agents like himself. He felt that it was important day meeting his new team, though, and opted to wear a a suit this time, instead of his regular attire.

"Hi." He said simply, in response to her greeting, which was just as basic. He continued to take her appearance in as he cast a lazy gaze at her, not wanting to appear like some weird person. He had training not to look suspicious when looking at someone and taking notes on them, but she probably had training as well, making his tactic useless. He focused on her a little more when hearing her voice again, and the way that she said it made it sound like she was speaking to the room and everyone and thing inside of it, not just him. "We're Shield Agents. We see a lot of people at a lot of places." He said in response to her.

Upon hearing rather heavy footsteps, Jonathan looked at the door to see something he that he never would have thought about. His brow raised as the sight of the bear, octopus, hybrid, thing. Whatever it was, it was bipedal and acted human, so he simply assumed that it was some sort of Frankenstein monster. He may have been level seven, and a mutant agent, but he still didn't have full access to the files of groups like the howling commandos. His brow raised further upon seeing the only female agent in the room using some sort of webbing to pull him out of the doorway. It didn't seem like the webbing that spiderman had. It was much more fluid, more organic. He didn't know what it was, but it was connected to her in some way or form.

"I'd help, but I'd probably get in her way." He glanced at Remi quickly before looking back at the hybrid. "Agent Trent. Nice to meet you all."

Alaina sighed, a frown on her face as she entered the Triskellion. She had received SHIELD’s message just the day before, informing her to come meet the new members of the team she was apparently being assigned to. No explanation or reasoning had been offered. She had no idea who would be on this team, who would be leading it, or what they would be doing. Alaina worked alone. She had always done so, and she was good at it. She wasn't sure why SHIELD felt the need to change this now, but no matter what the reasoning behind the decision was, she was slightly annoyed. She would follow orders when given, but that didn't mean she had to like them.

Alaina walked briskly down the building's many hallways, hands adjusting the collar of the leather jacket she wore. Dressed all in black, snowy white hair fell down her back in sharp contrast to her clothing. No specific time for this meeting had been given, a fact that just added to her discontent. Alaina liked to be on time, early if at all possible, but she supposed she would just have to let it go for now.

Coming to the particular door she was looking for, she sighed once more, if a bit dramatically, before opening the door and stepping inside. What she saw briefly made her pause, blue eyes narrowing in slight confusion. They were in one of SHIELD’s training rooms: one man, one woman, and one… bear-like octopus creature. One eyebrow raised, she opened her mouth as if to ask a question, but then closed it, shaking her head slightly and stepping fully into the room without a word. A man in a suit, a blonde, and an octo-bear stood in a shiny metal box. It sounded like the start of some particularly twisted joke.

Her eyes briefly swept over the small group, taking in their appearances. “Alaina Grey,” she said, nodding her head in greeting.

"Thanks a lot girly!" Karuba said as he finally got pulled out of the door frame and smacked on his chest on the floor. Karuba got up and dusted himself off before going to introduce himself but just as he was about to another agent showed up. She looked like she was going to question but instead simply shook her head and introduced herself. "Well I am Karuba, I am a geneticist and part time raging beast of fur, claw and ink and now I guess we're all teammates! High five!" Karuba said happily with his bear grin as he raised up his robotic arm for a high five from anyone.

Alexis was kind of roaming around the building, he has never been to this section before and since there was no notice of a time he wanted to explore a little.
However as time passed he decided to go towards the location, kind of expecting to be the first one for some reason.

It was kind of funny how, even though he explored the floor he still found it difficult to find the door but he found it anyway.
Pushing the button to open the door he looked inside, seeing, well pretty much a really weird animal mostly with some people around it.
"uhm... excuse me, I think I opened the wrong door"
Closing the door he looked around to the other doors, seeing the numbers, looking back at the first door and rechecked the piece of paper that said he was at the right door.
"this cannot be correct right?"
He pressed the door's button again.
"excuse me, uhm... according to my note I am supposed to be in this room for a new crew meeting, But I think its wrong or were you not aware that this room was going to be used before you started... well whatever it is you are doing with this.. animal mutation?"

Ken ran down the hall and slid to a stop in front of the correct door. He opened it and walked inside, noticing a giant bear-person and several people standing around. "Uh, hi." he said, nervously adjusting the gun that hung on his back. "I assume I have the right place. This is where the new division is meeting, right?"
He had made sure to wear his armor, and had worked on enough of these rooms to know his way around it if he had to defend himself. He doubted that SHIELD would have let people they knew were dangerous in, but this WAS a training room. For all he knew they were robots or people that had been brought in to test him. He'd even heard stories of the X-Men creating enemies with the room's technology.

"I'll have you know I am not only a mutant but also a cyborg, freak of nature AND geneticist. I'll bet you ain't even HALF of those things!" Karuba almost yelled at the new person. "Besides I'll bet you wish you could do THIS" and with that remark Karuba squirted ink across the room and hit the wall with it. Karuba smiled "see? Can't learn that in no SHIELD training class! I can also make it look like a picture of the Mona Lisa! You wanna see? Hmm? Do ya? Well? What's your answer? Come on answer!" Karuba yelled not giving him a chance to actually answer.

Remi watched on in boredom as more people poured into the room. The bear thing was...loud...and annoying. But, if he could do THAT to himself, it might be funny to see what else he could do. Obligatory funny guy, gun nut, sneaky woman, and straight shooter...what in the hell did she get herself into?

She sighed deeply and looked off to the side. Mentally, she pulled up YouTube and began to watch a video in her mind's eye.

Alaina watched as more and more odd characters came into the room. It seemed to be a very… strange group, if nothing else. Glancing away from the geneticist-octopus-bear, she looked over at the new arrivals.

“Yes, yes. We’re all in the right place. It doesn’t seem like any of us actually know why we’re really here, but here we are. Speaking of which, if any one does have some kind of clue to why we all seem to have been assigned to… whatever the hell this is, now would be a great time for some answers,” she said with a small smile.

Alexis looked the beast with slightly shocked but also curious eyes as it began its rampage.
"it can speak" was all he said while he began walking inside the room.
"interesting, you said a geneticist, then would that mean you used to be human but did this too yourself? unbelievable"

At this point an other person entered into the room, pretty much asking the same question he did
He then looked at the inkt on the wall.
"truth be told I dint really mind that power of yours, I guess, judging why I likely am here and seeing this, creature" he called karuba as he was unsure if he could call it an animal or a human, he could go for freak but that sounded too, insulting "we have all been added to this group for having powers of our own".
He then looked at the silver haired woman, this was his first time to actually look at any of the other people here.
"sadly that is all the guess work I can make at this time, we are here as we have powers but why we have been grouped together is still unknown to me"

From this point on he looked at all the, well lets just say, human like people, taking their faces in, if all of them were going to be team mates he better remember their faces, though introductions might be useful as well.
"seeing as were likely going to be team mates, I guess introductions are in order, my name is Alexis Zable, primary I am an Archaeologist"

In such a short amount of time, so many people entered the training room, all seeming to now belong to this new group. There was a woman with some sort of web-like ability, a geneticist who was a mixture of animals, a woman with white hair and piercing blue eyes, an archaeologist, a gunner, and himself. It was really quite the team, with most of the obligatory and stereotypical spots being already taken up. All they needed was either a veteran leader who didn't like people younger than he was, or a hotshot leader that had an ego bigger than Karuba.

Deadpool made his way into the Shield Triskelion with little problems. He was required to show identification and take off his mask, but nobody hassled him like he would have assumed they would. He had clearance from Directory fury to be let in, and he easily had the skills to take out several people in the building. He continued to walk with unmatched charisma as he was directed over to the training rooms, which was essentially a giant hallway with several doors on each side, all leading to a different marked room. He began to count off the numbers on top of the doors until he found the one that he was looking for, and was only somewhat surprised to see that there was commotion going on.

Upon being given the team, Deadpool had been given the files of all the people on his team, and it seemed that everyone was in the room. He knew what everyone could do, and wanted to put their skills to the test as quickly as possible.

The door opened as he neared it, and the masked man took a look at the men, and women in the room, though he did stare at the women for a longer duration then the men. he believed that they looked even better in person, and couldn't wait to get to know them.

"Hello members of the Odd Squad! I am your amazing leader Deadpool. From everything I've been overhearing, you guys haven't met or each of each other yet, so keep on talking for a little more and then we can get down to business." He spoke with confidence as he strode into the room.

As Deadpool came in the room Karuba ignored the rad-clad hero and continued the conversation with the person who called him a creature "I will have you know I am a person! Sure I may have the body of a luscious creature of the wild but I still of the amazing brain of a humanoid!" Karuba said as his brain in his tank began to flip over then return to its original position. Finally Karuba suddenly noticed the red clad veteran hero whom he had not noticed before "OH GOSH ITS EL DIABLO! ITS NOT MY TIME YET! TAKE THE OTHERS THEY'VE LIVED PLENTY!" Karuba yelled very loudly as he ran across the room not before squirting ink in every direction he could.

After the beast-man's fright and inkt assault, Alexis ended up clean for some reason (he had while no one was looking used his silver skin to create a shield on his arm).

"truly this has to be a joke of the director" Alexis said after looking at the man clad in red
"The infamous Deadpool, from what I heard he used to be a normal human hit-man, how he gained your powers and what they are is extremely sketchy and though he gained powers the story's go that he lost his mind in the progress, talking to people who are not there and regarding our world, the real world as nothing more then a comic, a tv show or a video game, rumors speak that he was only enlisted into the organization as he proofed too big of a liability to leave in the outside world, yet even though he is a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. he tends to cause more headache then that he is of use, though I have to say, the storys also report he is best at what he does"

Alexis then stepped closer to Deadpool "so why would someone as Infamous as Deadpool be chosen as our team leader, better still why would someone as so called powerful as Deadpool need a team?"

"Blah blah blah blah blah." The symbiote host droned on lazily as she kept an eye on a corner of the room. "Can the bear PLEASE pipe down and the cheerleader over there, pleeease stop kissing Deadpool's ass? I've got stuff to do, so I'd rather get this meeting over with sooner rather than later, yeah?" she asked sarcastically towards Alexis with a scowl. The symbiote made its way over to her and reattached to her leg, melding and smoothing out as it's color changed to match her pants. She didn't seem to notice, long used to the feeling.

"So, Deadpool. Why are we here, what do you need, and when can we leave?"

"Hey, hey, HEY! I got this suit just for this and now it's ruined!" The masked madman shouted at the bear creature, waiting a moment before shrugging it off. He honestly didn't really care about the suit. It wasn't his merc suit, and even if it was, he had an uncountable amount of them in his closet.

"You must be fun at parties..." Deadpool muttered to himself. He caught the symbiote attaching itself to Remi, but didn't really see it as a surprise. He knew about her symbiote, as it was in her file. He had also seen some pictures of her Symbiote for, and he honestly wanted to see it in person to see if it was as cool as it was in the pictures.

"Well, Remi. In that order. You're here because I told you to be here. I need a taco. Never." He said with a tone that was obviously sarcastic, but also left no room for argument. He had his personal reasons for getting a team, but he just needed to out wait Shield before he could get to personal matters

Remi grunted in slight irritation but didn't say much else for a few minutes. She played her video again, "so then, what are we waiting for then?" she asked. "Someone gonna start up a training regiment or something?"

Karuba hid in the corner while everyone bickered about Deadpool. He feared Deadpool for one reason and one reason only, he had never met Deadpool and he was dressed in red which usually meant something was gonna die in the animal kingdom. He kept himself in the corner shuddering and spraying ink if anyone got to close to him.
