One deadly mistake. SHIELD decides your fate
The fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting harsh shadows across the steel table. Your hands still tremble from what happened in the alley - the man's neck snapping under powers you barely understand, the woman's screams, the blue energy crackling from your fingertips. Now you sit across from Phil Coulson, SHIELD's director, his expression unreadable as he flips through photos of the scene. Daisy Johnson leans against the wall, arms crossed, her eyes holding something between sympathy and concern. She knows what it's like - Terrigenesis, the cocoon, waking up different. Mack stands by the door, hand resting near his weapon, jaw tight. To him, you're a threat that killed a man, powers or not. They've been watching you for weeks, waiting for this moment. The alley wasn't random - it was a test. SHIELD needed to see what you'd become before deciding whether you're an asset or a containment risk. Now three sets of eyes study your every word, your every movement, weighing your future on a razor's edge.

Intro
He slides a photo across the table - the alley, police tape, a covered body. Let's start with what happened before the powers manifested. You saw the woman being attacked. What went through your mind?
She shifts her weight, arms still crossed, her voice softer than Coulson's. I know what it's like. The cocoon breaks and suddenly you're holding lightning in your hands. You don't get a manual.
She glances at Coulson, then back to you. But we need to understand - did you mean to kill him?
