Coulson has been looking further and further into what he was able to get, and he was able to get the file on his death and recovery. While everyone else gets told of an incident that happened at the Academy, a device was used to instantly freeze a pool.

"We drew up those concepts years ago. We didn't know they'd be applied in that way." Fitz says as they look over what they were given about the incident.

"This is the device that was found in the frozen pool?" Skye asks looking over it herself.

"Yeah, the instantly frozen indoor pool. It seems like it was planted days before, like it was planted for those people." Ava corrects.

"Well, as far as they can tell, the device used a crystalline nucleation process I designed." Simmons tells them.

"And a delivery mechanism I invented." Fitz tells them. "Which is why we're being asked to consult on the investigation."

"So were going to the Academy?" Ava asks since she's never been before.

"The science and technology division." Peter explains.

"Agent Weaver asked if you two could speak to the student to calm him down." Ward tells Fitz-Simmons.

"After we drop off all of you, Coulson and I have other matters to attend to." May warns them. "By the way, Peter, they sent you the package." She says and passes the package.

"What's that?" Ava asks.

"It's for you." Peter explains and hands it to her.

Ava is confused about what it could be and opens it to see a uniform that resembles a tiger in white and black with a place to put her emblem on the belt. "What's this?" She asks him.

"It's your new uniform, White Tiger." Peter explains to her and pulls it out so she can see the full design. "Bulletproof, knife reflectance, strong fabric, durable to anything it has to throw at it, even fire." He says and she looks over the suit itself.

"Well, I've always looked good in white." Ava jokes loving the suit.

-

They make it to the Academy and Ava changed into the new suit and as it turns out, there's a spot on her mask where her hair actually flows out from.

"Thi was the SSR facility before S.H.I.E.L.D. was even founded." Peter says looking at the facility. "Uncle C loves history."

"Is this where you got all of your PhD's?" Skye asks.

"No, you need at least one to get through the door." Simmons explains.

"No uniforms, no rope course, no defined muscularity on anyone." Ward comments looking at everyone.

"No marching in place, no I.Q.'s in double digits." Peter says back since he's probably S.H.I.E.L.D.'s only strong scientist.

"There they are." Agent Weaver greets them. "So good to see you." She says while shaking their hands. "Agent Ward, Agent Ayala, S, pleasure to have you."

"Agent Weaver." Peter greets. "There's a list of suspects?"

"Based on the level of intelligence it would take to put a device together like the one we found, we've narrowed it down to the top 10% of our cadets." Weaver tells them. "I'm worried there's a bad seed."

"I know you've already questioned the victim, but I have a few questions I'd like to ask myself." Ward tells Weaver.

"I'll arrange for you to talk to Seth Doemer when he's out of class." Weaver promises. "In the meantime, I'd like to get agents Fitz and Simmons settled into the lecture hall." She says and pulls them away.

"Look at them. The popular kids. Who knew?" Skye states.

"We all did." Peter says. "Come on, while we have a minute." He says and pulls Ava with him.

-

Thy head into the Acadamy and ga looks around. "How do you get used to walking around in this all the time?" Ava asks him.

"It's a bit tight in some areas, but you get used to it." Peter says as they walk up to the Wall or Valor. "I like to come here when we are here." He says and Peter points to the list.

"They say S.H.I.E.L.D.'s history can be read on walls like this." Ava says and starts looking over the list until two names stick out Richard Parker Mary Parker. "Oh, now I see it." She says and looks to him.

"Yeah, I've been trying my best to figure out who they were, but Fury says mostly everything went down with them. But he promises to keep me updated when he finds something new." Peter says.

-

Fitz-Simmons are in the lecture hall while Weaver is introducing them.

"Today, we're proud to welcome back two of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy's finest, our youngest graduates to date. You know their names. Please join me in welcoming agent Leopold Fitz and Agent Jemma Simmons." Weaver says and the entire hall starts clapping for them.

"Thank you, Agent Weaver." Simmons thanks. "It's nice to be back, unfortunately, it has to be under these circumstances."

"If you don't know the history of S.H.I.E.L.D. by now, there's no excuse...unless you fell asleep in Professor Vaughn's class, that's a perfectly acceptable excuse." Fitz jokes and everyone laughs at that.

"Our instinct as scientists is to move forward, advance quickly, push the envelope. But given recent events, it makes sense to reflect back on our history." Simmons continues.

-

Ward is with Seth asking him if he knew anyone who would be after him. "You know any reason a top student would want to go after you?" Ward asks.

"No, the top students are my friends. It's competitive here, but we don't resort to knocking each other off." Seth tells him. "This isn't operations, no offense."

"None taken. All these names you would consider friendly?" Ward asks and hands him a list.

"Well, not Donnie Gill." Seth says. "I barely know the kid. He doesn't talk to anyone."

"And he was at the pool." Ward says.

"Studying, But I don't think he's the guy. He has trouble communicating with anyone below a 170 I.Q." Seth explains.

-

"And S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded after the SSR was able to defeat the nearly indomitable force known as HYDRA." Fitz says and Peter's head starts to hurt at the mention of HYDRA for some strange reason.

"Hey, you okay?" Ava asks him.

"I...I don't know." Peter admits never feeling like this.

"We tend to forget that these organizations." Simmons says. "HYDRA, Centipede, A.I.M. Were also made up of extremely brilliant scientists, men and women who started with the same unlimited potential as you or I."

"Potential can sometimes be dangerous. Plutonium has the potential to power a city or to be a nuclear bomb." Fitz adds.

"Today we would like to share a few stories from the field in which we learned this lesson up close and faced the consequences when untested technology or biology lands in the wrong hands. And don't worry, we brought pictures." Simmons Jokes wine Peter's senses go off again.

"Oh, god!" Donnie calls out and they all look to him. "What is this?!" He asks as they look and see he's being frozen. "Help me! Make it get off!" He begs as it completely freezes him over.

Peter runs up and is joined by Fitz-Simmons. "Find exposed skin." Simmons tells them. "He need glucose to raise his body's natural freezing point."

"I need something to break the ice." Fitz says when Peter interrupts by using his strength to break a piece off of his neck. "Right, that works too." He states.

Simmons takes sometime to raise his body temperature. "Somethings doing this to him. Find it." Fitz tells them and Ava finds it under the seats and crushes it using her tiger strength.

As soon as it's broke, Donnie gets free of the ice and they help him out of the room.

"And you can't think of anyone here who'd want to hurt you?" Ava asks Donnie.

"I don't know anyone." Donnie admits.

"Donnie, I'm gonna have you escorted back to your room." Weaver tells him. "You get some rest and stay warm." She says and he leaves.

"No genetic materials or prints found on the device." Fitz tells them. "Components are rare and expensive."

"Freshman pranks are traditional, but these are something else." Peter states. "This was actual attempted murder."

"So, Donnie was the intended target all along?" Ward asks. "He have anything in common with the cadets at the pool?"

"These kids were popular. Donnie was...not. Donnie hadn't made any enemies here, but he hadn't made any friends, either." Weaver tells them. "Youngest we've had since Fitz-Simmons here. 190 I.Q. And failing out of high school when we met him."

"Bored out of his mind." Peter states.

"If things went well, we were considering graduating him early and assigning him to the sandbox." Weaver admits,

"Wow." Simmons exclaimed. "He would love it There.

"And I would've been bored out of my mind." Peter admits.

"Agent Weaver, keep working with investigations, interviewing cadets." Ward asks and she leaves. "She won't find much. We train cadets to keep secrets." He says.

"How about we visit the boiler room?" Peter asks.

"The What?" Ward asks.

"We'll explains on the way." Simmons says and they all leave.

"Fitz, how about you go talk to Donnie. He's withdrawn, might know more than he's letting on. You're a hero. Looks up to you. Even if he knows nothing, he could use a friend." Ward explains.

"Tats a nice idea." Ava states.

"The tin man has a small heart." Peter jokes as Fitz goes off to do that.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. Keeps an eye on everything that happens within the walls, so in the late '60s to escape the cameras, a few cadets started sneaking down to the boiler room to play cards, exchange ideas." Simmons explains.

"So you all cram into the boiler room?" Ava asks as they make it and hear music and much more.

"Well, we made some improvements over the years." Simmons admits as they see everything in the room.

They take some time and have everyone split up to see what they could get from anyone, and since everyone knows Agent S, it doesn't take much to get them talking.

Peter was able to get information on someone who wants to get into the Sandbox and recently lost the top spot, Callie Halagain. He thinks she could be a good place to start.

He gets her into a game of pool to ease her into talking.

"Nice shot." Peter says regarding her shot.

"Elastic collision equations, contact point geometry, and practice." Callie tells him. "So, why is one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s greatest agents hanging out in the Boiler room?" She wonders.

"Looking for the smartest mind you have in the room, trying to put together a Top Shadow unit." Peter quickly lies.

"Shadow Unit for what exactly?" Callie questions.

"Not much to say about it that isn't classified, but that tech used in the lecture hall, could come in handy for assignments." Peter says and she starts to get interested.

"Even though Donnie and Seth got hurt?" Callie asks.

"They're still alive. Accidents happen in science." Peter admits.

"Probably the best thing that's happened all year." She states and that gets Peter's attention.

"What exactly do you mean by that?" Peter asks her as she asks another hit at the pool.

"I'm just saying they got to meet Agent Fitz. They've been talking about it for weeks." Callie tells him and Peter doesn't understand that. They were ordered to come here just this...morning.

Donnie wasn't the victim, he was the designer. The device must've either short circuited or he wanted it to go off to get Fitz to talk to him. "Talking about it to whom?" Peter asks.

"Each other." Callie explains, and that means that they were both in on it.

Peter quickly contacts Fitz. "Fitz, tell me you're still with Donnie." Peter begs his friend.

"I just left him, why?" Fitz asks.

"Donnie and Seth, they staged their attacks to lure you and Simmons to the Academy and to remove them as suspects." Peter explains.

"Relax, you're overreacting. We just had a little hang session. I was helping him solve his...power problem ." Fitz was explaining until he realizes what he just helped fix.

"He's got a bigger version of the machine, doesn't he?" Peter guesses when Fitz hangs up and he takes that as a yes.

Fitz runs back to Donnie's room and sees that he has, as Peter suspected, in fact created a bigger version of the device.

"That's what you're trying to power. A bigger version of the ice machine?" Fitz asks him.

"You weren't suppose to see this." Donnie says when Seth comes up and uses a small air cannon on Fitz sending him into the wall.

"We need to move." Seth tells Donnie and they begin moving the machine.

-

Coulson and May have returned from their mission on finding out more about Skye's parents and all they found was bad news and they join them back on the Bus.

"Any word on the missing cadets?" Coulson asks them.

"Ward's coordinating the search effort with Agent Weaver. They've set up a perimeter and are going building to building." Simmons says.

"How dangerous are they?" May wonders.

"Extremely." Peter answers while removing his mask. "This is a device that can turn any moisture around it to ice very fast, at a great range."

"But Donnie's a good kid. Just felt isolated." Fitz explains. "Seth must've befriended him to manipulate him, using him to finish the...product"

"Product?" Ava asks.

"I think they have a backer." Fitz explains his wording. :the device, the components are rare and expensive, nothing either of them could find in the open market themselves."

"If the parts are rare, I can trace the purchases." Skye says.

"Sometimes it's not a bad seed, it's a bad influence." Coulson agrees.

-

Donnie and Seth have the device in an open field waiting for their employer, who happens to be Ian Quinn, who is on the plane toward their location but after hearing what went down, he's having second thoughts.

"Look, Donnie and I have the device ready to sell, and we solved the power problem, but we ran into some trouble. S.I.E.L.D.'s looking for us now." Seth explains to him through the phone.

"Seth, what did I say was the most important aspect of this deal?" Ian asks him.

"That nobody knows about it." Seth replies.

"Well, now the deal's gonna have to change." Ian says. "Where are you?"

"We're hiding at a parking garage these the Academy." Seth explains. "There's checkpoints set up all around."

"It looks like I'll be turning around." Ian explains, not needing to be caught by S.H.I.E.L.D. "Sorry we couldn't do business."

"No, wait. Can you send a chopper or something to come and get us?" Seth begs the man. "Believe me, it's worth it."

"Prove it, Seth." Ian tells him. "Give me a demonstration. I want to see what I'm paying for in action, right there at S.H.I.E.L.D." He explains hoping that the machine will destroy everything.

"Then you'll come and get us?" Seth asks.

"I wouldn't be able to resist." Ian promises and hangs up before calling his pilot. "The deal is a no go. Return around, go back to the Seychelles." He explains and asks for another drink.

-

In the parking lot Donnie is having second thoughts but Seth is trying to talk him into doing it knowing their only way out now is Ian.

Donnie sees that they will be in trouble if S.H.I.E.L.D. catches them and then activates the machine. It goes dead for a second before sending a blast of energy into the sky.

-

Back on the Bus, Skye gets the information and sees it was Ian Quinn who had them make the device.

"We were worried about bad influences? He's the worst there is." Skye states.

"Ian Quinn, this has to be a joke." Peter states.

"Thermopile radiation sensors. Shipped to Seth's father, who's a lawyer for Quinn Worldwide. He's buying their tech." Ava adds.

"This is his m.o. he finds young talent and takes advantage." Skye states.

"Contact Ward and agent Weaver. Have them widen their search to include Ian Quinn." Coulson says and they leave to do their parts when the computers send a weather alert.

Coulson and Skye quickly talk and Coulson explains what he found out about her family.

-

Donnie and Seth at her as it starts raining hail since their weather machine is working but the hail keeps growing in size and mass for a minute before it stops.

"Is it over?" Seth asks Donnie.

"No. It's just beginning. We're in the eye of the storm." Donnie explains.

"Storm? But crystalline nucleation should only create ice." Seth states.

"It did." Donnie replies as he sees what he's done. "Up there. We seeded the clouds." He says as the storm is becoming a superstorm.

He then turns to the machine ready to shut it down.

"What are you doing?" Seth asks him.

"I have to reverse the process." Donnie says.

"Quinn specifically said he needed a working apparatus to come pick us up." Seth says.

"All the money in the world won't matter if we're dead." Donnie replies to him and Seth sees he's right and they need to stop it.

-

"That storm can't be stopped." Fitz says. "They're in trouble."

"Where's the device?" May asks them."

"My guess, the center of the storm." Ava states. "I've seen Tornado."

"Ward, he are things on the ground?" Coulson asks to their man on the ground.

"We've got almost everyone safe in the Boiler Room. How bad is this gonna get?" Ward asks them from the boiler room.

"Bad. Can you reach the north campus garage?" Coulson asks.

-

"I can get there." Ward promises and opens the door to see wind blowing everything off the ground and closes the door.

"Yeah, That ain't happening anytime soon." He corrects himself.

-

"Is there any way to get to Donnie?" Coulson asks. "Think fast, people."

"We can't just fly the ship into there without the Bus ripping apart." May states.

Peter gets an idea and looks to Coulson. "How about operation High Dive?" Peter asks smiling.

"You know how much I hate that operation." Coulson states.

"You know how much fun I have doing it." Peter quips.

"What's operation High Dive?" Ava asks.

"Something I'm gonna regret agreeing to later." Coulson states. "May, get us in the eye." He asks the pilot and she leaves to the pilot room.

She pilots the plane to over the eye of the storm and Peter grabs his mask and puts it back on while walking to the cargo doors.

"Are you gonna explain what we're doing?" Ava asks him as she followed him.

"We? No, this is an Agent S assignment." Peter replies to her and she stops on her tracks.

"Why?" Ava questions when Peter goes to the open haul doors and looks back at her.

"This is why." Peter says before he does a backwards dive out of the plane into the eye.

"Peter!" Ava shouts trying to catch him as he falls.

"Was he wearing a parachute?" Skye asks.

"No." Coulson says.

-

With Peter, he keeps free falling through the storm and grabs onto anything he or his webs can reach in order to slow down his descent as he gets closer to the ground.

On the ground, Seth and Donnie are trying to shut the machine down.

"Seth, hold the barium hydroxide chamber in place." Donnie tells him when a bolt of lightning hits Seth.

"No!" Donnie yells seeing he's hurt and they can't do anything and runs to help his friend. "Seth." Donnie calls making sure he's okay but sees he's been injured.

Peter grabs onto a passing tree and runs down its bark and lands on the ground and sees the machine and Seth.

Seeing the life of an agent is more important, he runs to help.

"He's been hurt. Please, you need to help him." Donnie begs and Peter runs to see if there's anything he can do, but quickly feels for a heartbeat and has already gone into cardiac arrest. There's nothing he can do to save him on his own but knows he needs to stop the machine so the plane can land and possibly help.

Peter runs back at the machine and sees they were already working on shutting it down and quickly finishes their work and reversed the storm so it vanishes almost as quickly as it was formed.

The Bus comes in to land and see there was nothing that could've been done to save Seth, no matter what Peter would've done.

-

Later on, Peter feels guilty about not being able to save him.

"Gotta say, not a fan of operation Sky Dive." Ava sates as she sits next to him.

"You, Uncle Clint, and uncle C are all on the same boat." Peter jokes along with her.

"Where did you learn that maneuver?" She wonders.

"Aunt Natasha." Peter admits and sees she doesn't know who that is. "You'd know her as Black Widow."

"Oh, that makes sense." She states and he laughs at her.

-

Coulson then returns his office and starts calling Quinn using the number from Donnie.

"Seth, I've got to say, you you have exceeded my expectations." The voice of Ian Quinn leaves the phone.

"We're on to you." Coulson informs him.

"Who is this?" Ian asks.

"Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. We never met, but I'm familiar with your work. And your strange obsession with the Parker's." He informs Quinn.

"So this is a get to know you call?" Ian asks.

"No, just a message that the first time your aircraft drifts over any country where S.H.I.E.L.D. has allied itself with, you will be blown from the sky." Coulson warns him.

"So this is a courtesy call. Well, thank you, Agent Coulson. And I actually have a message for you. The Clairvoyant told me to say hello. And that you should hold your nephew close. Because soon, you won't be able to hold him anymore." Ian says and hangs up leaving Coulson to question what he just said and what he meant by not able to do it anymore.

Do they have something planned for Peter? And if so, what?
