Elsewhere-
After finishing breakfast, Amador, who had gone back to bed for a nap, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.
She heard a woman's voice: "Can the people watching you monitor audio?"
Amador looked in the direction of the voice. It was May, who had already infiltrated the room.
"No, but they can use facial recognition software to confirm you're a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent," Amador replied.
May calmly looked at Amador and said indifferently, "Then I don't need to introduce myself."
Amador asked, "Did Coulson send you?"
"No."
"He feels sorry for you. I don't."
"I'm here to bring you back to S.H.I.E.L.D. You'll get a fair trial without endangering others."
As May spoke, she approached Amador, who was still on the bed.
Amador shook her head. "You don't know anything."
May responded, "We know you're following orders."
Amador, maintaining her composure, said, "Then you should know that once they see you, only one person is walking out alive."
"They've installed an automatic fail-safe."
Hearing this, May's expression turned more serious, though she said nothing further.
Amador continued, "If I don't kill you, they'll kill me."
May replied calmly, "You should stay in bed."
At that moment, Amador suddenly drew a gun from under her pillow and aimed it at May.
But May, known as "The Cavalry," reacted even faster, swiftly kicking the gun out of Amador's hand.
Seeing her weapon disarmed, Amador immediately closed the distance and engaged May in hand-to-hand combat.
Though both were women, their hand-to-hand combat skills were exceptional. The two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.
"Ha!"
As the fight wore on, May, being more skilled, eventually gained the advantage and managed to knock Amador to the ground.
Amador threw a kitchen knife, but May easily dodged it with a sidestep.
Realizing she was outmatched, Amador noticed that the room was illuminated only by a nearby lamp, and the curtains were tightly closed, letting in no light.
She punched the lamp, shattering it and plunging the room into darkness.
With the lights out, the room became pitch-black, and May lost her visual advantage.
Immediately, May assumed a defensive fighting stance. Meanwhile, Amador activated the X-ray vision in her artificial eye, making May's movements visible.
Amador spotted her gun on the floor, where it had been kicked earlier. It would be safer to kill May from a distance, so she quickly bent down to pick up the gun.
Just as Amador grabbed the gun and was about to shoot May, the door was kicked open.
Killer Bee burst in, appearing next to Amador in an instant. Before she could react, he knocked her out cold with a chakra-infused lightning strike.
Seeing Amador unconscious, Killer Bee looked at Coulson and said, "It's done."
Coulson holstered his gun and turned to May, saying, "May, that was reckless."
With the door broken down, light from the hallway flooded into the room, and May could see the gun in Amador's hand.
She realized that if Coulson and his team hadn't arrived in time, she might have been killed in the line of duty.
Lowering her head, May apologized, "Sorry."
Seeing that May had already admitted her mistake, Coulson didn't reprimand her further and simply said, "Let's take Amador back."
…
Elsewhere-
Inside one of the rooms on the aircraft-
Everyone had gathered, and as they looked at the unconscious Amador that Coulson had brought back, Skye spoke up:
"So you brought her back so quickly. Looks like our mission is complete."
Coulson shook his head. "The mission isn't over yet."
He then turned to Fitz and Simmons, asking, "Have you managed to create a receiver like the one in Amador's eye?"
Fitz nodded, then shook his head. "I haven't made an exact copy, but I did create a pair of glasses that can achieve the same effect."
"All we need to do is hijack the signal from Amador's eye and transfer it to these glasses, and everything should work fine."
Coulson nodded in approval and continued, "The device in Amador's eye has a fail-safe switch, which can control her life and death."
"She received a new mission just before we got her, and time is running out. We don't have time to carefully dismantle the device in her eye. We'll have to proceed on two fronts."
"One team will dismantle the device while another carries out her mission, using the transmitted information to track down whoever is behind this."
Everyone nodded in agreement with Coulson's plan.
Coulson glanced at the group, his eyes lingering on May, Ward, and Killer Bee. Considering May's earlier mistake, he decided to leave her out.
At that moment, Ward spoke up: "Killer Bee is still young. His field of vision might not align properly with the glasses, and even with the access card, a young boy entering the Todorov Building would draw too much attention. I should take on this mission."
Coulson nodded at Ward's suggestion.
"Alright, then you'll take the mission."
"Skye, Killer Bee, you'll support Ward."
"Due to time constraints, Skye, you'll hack into the signal en route and redirect it to the glasses."
"Killer Bee will provide backup. If anything goes wrong, he'll ensure you make it out safely."
He then looked at Fitz and Simmons. "As for you two, your job is to remove the device from Amador's eye."
"Yes, sir!"
With Coulson's orders clear, everyone acknowledged them and began preparing for their tasks.
Coulson then took Akela Amador to a separate room, waiting for her to wake up.
Amador, who had been unconscious, soon opened her eyes and saw Coulson in front of her.
"Hello, Akela."
"You're safe now."
As her vision fully returned, Akela Amador sat up, startled.
Coulson calmly reassured her, "Take it easy for a moment."
"Killer Bee only knocked you out."
Amador, still facing away from Coulson, spoke gravely: "There's a kill switch in my eye. Why hasn't my handler triggered it yet?"
Coulson explained, "Your handler only knows that you fought with Agent May and both of you went down."
"And then you woke up, left the hotel, and continued the mission."
Amador shook her head in disbelief. "How is that even possible?"
