Agent coulson is one of shields best agents

He was tasked with taking down the sleeping dragons before they expanded into America and beyond.

It was easier said than done, Coulson knew  the black dragons were not a simple gang, so when he found out i-one of their best friends was on the run he saw an opportunity.

-

"Why concern yourself over the sleeping dragons?" Y/n asked calmly as he held his tea cup.

"Normally Shield wouldn't get involved , but we have agents all over the world for a reason, and we have firm reason to believe they blan to expand their influence beyond japan." Agent coulson explained taking a sip of coffee.

"Hm...im aware mifunes plans were grand but i hadn't noticed he had already begun making moves..." y/n spoke in concern. "But why take this long to make a move?"

"Unfortunately its not like i have an army on standby to just attack so i had to play this carefully, but thats why i came to you." Coulson motioned over to y/n. " who better to help than someone whose clearly high on the ladder."

"Hm...wise choice." Y/n spoke simply.

"Now i know you may feel sometime of way about betraying your friends-

"They're not friends." Y/n cut off coulson sharply. "Never were."

Agent coulson stared at y/n curiously. "What happened kid? Why join a gang? And what did you do to earn yourself such a large bounty?"

Y/n took a sip of his tea and sighed. "I had no choice in the matter... mifune murdred my parents and took me as an infant, i was raised to be loyal and be his weapon, its all i knew for a while, when i found out my true origins i knew I owed them nothing and finally had the guts to break his chains on me, as for why the bounty well...lets just say i didn't just put in my two weeks notice." Y/n spoke bitterly.

Agent coulson looked at him with sympathy, there was little on the boys records, the only connectiom being a married couple who had been murdered in their home, something which the police declared a cold case he hoped it wasn't the case.

"Im sorry to hear that." coulson said.

"I dont need pity agent, circumstances or not it doesn't remove the blood on my hands..."
y/n spoke shaking his head.

"Maybe...but you doesn't make you one of them." Coulson said firmly. " your actions after the crimes show that."

Y/n didn't look so sure.

"Help me out kid, we pull this off and i promise il have your back." Coulson spoke with conviction.

Y/n took another sip of his tea before looking at coulson. " you ow me noting coulson, if i am to be imprisoned by the ned of this  i will not resist, but i will tell you everything i know, regardless of what they did  to me the sleeping dragons must fall."

Agent coulson respected the kids accountability the kid may not believe it but hes showing hes more than what they tried to make of him.

Coulson pulled out a folder and a stack of papers a pen and a recording device. "Whenever you're ready."

-

I told coulson everything i knew,  how we moved, how we fought, our hangouts, the details of their best soldiers, even areas where they could slip away from their eyes.

It took some time but soon enough we were devising the plan to wipe out the sleeping dragons once and for all.

-

"Y/n you have to know this is suicide." Phil spoke as he watched y/n strap his sword to his side.

"Victory Cannot be achieved without sacrifice  coulson." Y/n said as he put on his coat.  " with all the top lieutenants away partying I can go straight to headquarters and bring back mifunes head by sundown."

" at least let me arm you properly, i have plenty of shields best weapons available."
Coulson suggested as going in with a sword and knife seemed very foolish.

Y/n shook his head. "Firearms aren't my style Besides...i have exactly what i need to even the odds."  Y/n spoke  looking at sento now at his hip.

Coulson wasn't enthusiastic about the idea but the sword didn't look normal so he decided to have a little faith. "Well..dont get another scar kid."

Y/n actually chuckled a bit as the agent was referring to the new scar on the side of his temple going down his left cheek. " i don't plan on it, please, take care of my fish for me." Y/n spoke as he headed off.

Agent chuckled as he looked at the bowl housing the three fish. " not like it will be hard, gold fish don't do much." He said to himself, suddenly the three fish swam up used their tails to flick water at him.

"What the-!" Coulson exclaimed in shock, and he swore the three fish looked offended.

-

The plan was set, while Phil struck at the sleeping dragons strategically at key points around the japan, i would cut off the head of the snake.

It was time to pay my captors back in blood.

-

If one were to enter the headquarters black dragons, you would see its soldier, layed across the ground, its halls decorated with their blood.

Those who still hadn't succumbed to death could still hear the faint sound of fighting before they did.

"AGHH!" Mifune cried out in pain and anger as he stood on the ground, looking to y/n .  "....do you ..think this changes anything?...do you believe this makes you a better man than me?"

Y/n glared at Mifune.

Mifune stood up chuckling holding his sword. "  you may have your revenge child, and what little it will give you In return.....but you will never be more than you are....a tainted weapon."

"i know...." Y/n  spoke lowly before getting into his stance. "..but I am your weapon no longer..." he growled, his eyes glowing faintly.

Mifune entered his own stance, ready to make his final move on y/n.

They pressed forward and struck.

.....

Mifunes blade broke.....

And  his head separated from his body...

It was done...

-

I had done it, sent the photos and it spread like wild fire

Anybody still loyal was now demoralized.

I had regrouped  with Coulson  and helped him round up anybody still fighting, I had hoped to take down Genichi but he opted to retreat, promising they would have their dual when the time was right, and we would..

Soon everything would be under shields control, and I was uncertain about what to do next...

-

Y/n leaned over the railing, looking out into the vast ocean.

" I can feel the internal conflict  a mile away."  Coulson jokes as he also leans on the railing alongside him. "  upset we couldn't get the maniac?"

"No, Genichi may have escaped but the good that has been done today trumps losing him."  Y/n spoke simply.

" that's good to hear, so what's really the problem?"Coulson asks

" well let's get this out of the way then, are you gonna arrest me?" Y/n asked wishing to know if he would be punished for being associated with the black dragons.

Coulson shook his head. " No, I considered it but given  your circumstances  and that very thing you have given me has turned out to be true I'm willing to let you off the hook."

" i thought I said I didn't need pity agent." Y/n said

" this isn't pity y/n, it's a second chance, a chance to really turn things around for yourself, a chance they didn't give you." Coulson spoke firmly.

" a second chance..."  y/n thought to himself, looking down at his hands. " I don't even know where to go from here."

"Well it's up to you to decide that but..." Coulson hands out 3 books. " maybe this is a start."

Y/n accepted the odd books, his eyes widened when he realizes these were a few of the books mifune used to write in, and the contents within, it related to not only the mystical...but the yamada clan as well....his family.

"I....i don't understand....why give me this? Didn't you say you needed everything you could find?" Y/n questioned in confusion.

" we already of more than enough, 3 little books are of no consequence, especially not ones dealing in all this magical business , not really what shield deals with." Coulson explained, which really wasn't wrong, despite the presence of a Norse god, all this might ass well be an old man too into conspiracies and legends. " but I'm sure you can make the most out of them, consider it me paying you back for helping me out ."

Y/n looked down at the books and back at Coulson. "....thank you Phil...truly." He then outstretched his hand, which Phil accepted.

" no need for thanks kid, your life is in your hands now, no one else's." Coulson said firmly, he then pat y/Ns shoulder. " just try to stay out of trouble alright?"

Y/n managed small chuckle. " you have my word."

Coulson nodded with a smirk, he then took out a black card from his pocket. " if you ever feel like you're in a bind, just call that number and il see what I can do." Coulson spoke before walking away. " catch you later y/n."

"Until next time agent." Y/n responded, eyeing the black card with the numbers imprinted on it before pocketing it, he then looked back out into the sea, wishing to be in his own thoughts a while longer.

-

Soon I had come to a decision.

With Mifune out of the picture and the yakuza effectively being dismantled thanks to me and Coulsons efforts, there was nothing keeping me in my homeland anymore

I now wished to not only discover my origins and learn more my family, but experience the world that I had been forcibly sheltered from.

I packed what I needed , grabbed my passport and began my travels

My first stop was the island of Tsushima, which is where the yamada clan began

I was able to speak to some elders, regarding their history

-

"Clan Yamada, was perhaps the greatest clan of warriors of their time." A female elder explained. "When The clan decided to experiment with magic and Sento was forged a ripple was felt throughout Japan." She explained.

" they were feared." Y/n said, and another elder nodded.

" some felt such such a sword didn't belong in their hands....others felt they had taken the mystical blessing to far...and there were those that felt they would be a problem if they weren't taken care of , so they joined forces and went to war." The elder explained stroking his long beard.

" clan yamada was great, but even they could not face such numbers from all sides, they were all soon hunted down, Sento was passed down from family to family, now in present day ending up in your hands." A bald elder spoke.

"Am i the last one?" Y/n questioned, wondering if he was truly the sole survivor of his clan.

"Maybe...maybe not, clan yamada may have lost their war but with them being written out of history it is all unclear, Some may be still out there, perhaps they have remained in hiding and moved on, whos to say?" The female elder explained.

Y/n sighed, he eyed sento as it was laid infront of him. " Sento...the only reason i found it was because it called out to me, gave me vague visions..." y/n said, curious to know the blades capabilities.

"That was Sentos power at work, it is said that the blade carries the essence of  the yamada family, it is highly likely  they tried to communicate with you, to ensure the sword was finally in the hands of one of its warriors once more." The bearded elder explained.

"Your very blade is enchanted by magic, as well as the sword, you will no doubt discover more about your families gifts, but you will have to discover them yourself as you continue your journey." The bald elder spoke.

The female elder pulled a scroll from her sleeve. " these scroll carries more recorded locations that the clan touched upon, perhaps they can be more informative than us." The female elder spoke as she outstretched the scroll to y/n.

Y/n accepted the scroll. " you have been a big help." Y/n then bowed his head to the ground. " thank you , great elders."

The elders bowed back. " No thanks needed young one, may your journey ease the turmoil in your heart." The female elder spoke with a light smile.

-

I had soon followed the locations of the scroll as well as locations of my own interest.

I had covered much of Asia and Europe, It really allowed me to see how the world was beyond

Expanding my knowledge, whether that be language,  history or my prowess in combat,  any expenses  were covered my treasures I found on my travels.

But the most  beneficial aspect of my travels was discovering  my magical prowess

-

Y/n currently walked through an abandoned excavation  sight in turkey, hoping to find a book that was never recovered, as he approached the cave entrance however he felt he wasn't alone.

"Hamada...."

Y/n quickly turned around and was greeted by the sight of monsters.

"Sento..." One of the monsters growled out, making their intentions known.

Y/n glared at them as he flicked his blade open, ready for battle, when one of them jumped he drew his sword and suddenly a wave of energy of energy was unleashed and the monster and the boulder behind it were cleaved in two.

Y/n stood in shock as his sword glowed with energy.

-

Sento was a firm piece of evidence that magic had been around me for all my life.

The Swords Mifune And genichi wielded , my enhanced prowess, the stories i had read

Even My Beloved companions , who i had soon found out were my familiars.

It was a completely new world to me, and really reminded  me that  there was always something beneath the surface.

I had learned much on the mystical world, whether that be spells of different variety,  mystical objects, those recorded in history and those that are not.

And had even come to meet a few interesting figures...

And  honestly, it had given me a sense of purpose,  learning about mystical arts, discovering hidden treasures and decimating magical creatures, i felt like my blade was finally being pointed in the right direction.

I had my freedom and i was finally doing something that i felt had some meaning... i still felt...empty, back then i was a very closed off individual, My upbringing didn't allow me to be sociable but now that i could make own decisions i still held back on building relationships with anyone, platonic or otherwise.

And the guilt of my actions directly responsible or not had perhaps done more damage to my mental health than i realized.

So after a 4 years, i decided to settle down and put my travels on pause until further notice, believing if maybe i slowed down that it would allow my mind and heart to clear,

And in that thinking, i would soon meet up with an old friend.

-

Y/n was currently on a train going from france to london, seated in the back wnd currently enjoying the peace and white noise of people conversing as the train began to take off.

Y/n watched as the buildings passed by him, holding sento closed to his side.

"Well aint you a sight for sore eyes."

Y/n looked up to see a man , suddenly take a seat in hid booth, y/n had recognized the suited man in front of him.

"Coulson." Y/n said, a rise in his tone after going  a long time without seeing him in person.

"Heh, now there's a reaction I haven't seen before." Coulson chuckled as while the reaction was smile it was enough to see that y/n had grown out of his dead tone a bit. " and hey im off duty, just call me phil."

"Hm, long time no see phil." Y/n said with a small smirk.

"Yeah, 4 years, you sure have grown since the last time  i saw you." Phil said as  y/n appeared to be 6ft 2 now, his scar was still visible but it had healed very well,  if he got surgery on it it would be gone. " good to see you've been staying out of trouble."

"I gave you my word." Y/n responded.

"And you kept it, but real quick." Phil pointed at sento, his wakazahi and tanto . "How did you get the sword in here?" weapons weren't  allowed out in the open in public transportation.

"Hm, a magician never reveals his secrets."
Y/n says  simply, he had performed a minor illusion spell  to avoid unnecessary attention, he was no sorcerer supreme but magic had certainly made navigation and laws much easier to deal with.

"Right...well, a few coworkers notified  me about appearances  ranging from china all the way to iceland,  i thought  you would  have remained in japan." Phil said,  he hadn't ordered anyone to watch him  but since y/ns name was on a high profile operation he was always notified on where he was at the time.

" i had no reason to remain in japan, i felt  traveling would  allow for some...soul searching, so to speak." Y/n responded simply.

"Hm, has it been helpful?" Phil  asked curious, knowing that he must have been in a tricky spot mentally.

Y/n looked up in thought. "  it has proven beneficial in many ways, it really opened my eyes to how vast the world really is, and the beauty of different cultures." Y/n spoke honestly.

"But?" Phil asked sending there was more to it.

"..it hasn't removed the hollow feeling in my chest,  i assumed maybe setting a goal in mind whether that be learning a new language or  adopting a recreational would be helpful but perhaps that was naive of me." 
Y/n continued looking out the window for a bit.

Phil  was honestly impressed with y/ns maturity first and foremost, he was always wells poke but it was clear he had grown in a healthy way since the last time he saw him,  though he could definitely see that he was sorting things out for himself.

"I see, so whats the plan now?" Phil asks.

"Well currently i just aim to roam london a bit and think about where i should settle down." Y/n said.

Phil raised his eyebrows in curiosity. "Are you saying you don't have a home for yourself? Not even some property in japan?"

Y/n shook his head. " No."

"Wait are you saying you've just been wandering asia and europe for 4 years?" Phil asked in shock.

Y/n nodded.

"D-do you at-least have a drivers license?  How do you cover traveling expenses?" Phil asked genuinely confused about how he has been able to travel so comfortably.

"Ive pawned off gold and jewels ive found to cover any expenses,  walking and public transportation  serves its purpose." Y/n says simply gesturing to the train they were on.

Phil sweat dropped looking at y/n. "He says this so causally!" Phil yelled in his mind.

"A-Alright, well what places have you considered living in?" Phil said composing himself.

"Hm, perhaps one of the major cities of the world, where my presence could fade into the background and i could be left to my own devices." Y/n expressed giving it some thought.

"Well what about New York?" Phil asked suddenly.

"Hm , ive certainly been considering it as well, why there specifically?" Y/n asked wondering why he singled New York out specifically.

"Look at who your talking to, as an agent of shield i can get you your citizenship in half of the time and set you up with a house." Phil explained with a smile.

Y/n eyes widened a bit in interest. " i hadn't considered that angle, but agents of shield are able to provide people homes?" Y/n asked curiously.

"Heh no no, i have an apartment in new york i haven't used in a while, since its just collecting dust at this point i can just shift ownership over to you."  Phil explained.

"Phil..you don't have to that, im more than willing to get a place of my own." Y/n said not wanting phil to do this much.

"Hey i repeat it's not like im using the place, and besides we're friends aren't we? doing this is no trouble at all trust me."  Phil reassured with a smile.

Y/n looked unsure but ultimately gave in, even growing a small smirk. "Very well, if it is as you say."

"There we go,  now don't worry, i think you're gonna love new york, who knows  you might finally get yourself  a girlfriend." Phil joked lightheartedly.

Y/n didn't  acknowledge the joke , girlfriend? Him? No, that was not in the cards for him.

-

I would soon learn that i was very wrong.
