Agents of The Clone Wars (Book 1): The Clairvoyant Conspiracy

Heroes in Time of War

Mike and Ace continued walking down the street until Ace pointed at the sky. A building nearby was on fire and Mike leapt into the upper window of the building and retrieved a red haired woman who was coughing violently from the smoke. A crowd of people stared in awe at the sight and some of them started taking pictures. Mike smiled and picked up his son and placed him on his shoulders. The woman named Debbie profusely thanked Mike by shaking his hand vigorously.

Skye grinned at the sight. She was confident there was no possible way that Shield could abduct Mike. Skye decided to send Shield a message to let them know she and her fellow hackers Rising Tied would protect ordinary citizens from Shield. She turned on her computer and faced the camera on top of the computer screen.  

"The secret is out. For decades your organization stayed in the shadows. Hiding the truth. But now we know...they're among us. Heroes...and monsters. The world is full of wonders. We can't explain everything we see. But our eyes are open. So what now? There are no more shadows for Shield to hide in. Something impossible just happened in plain sight today and the frequency of that statement being said is increasing. You teaming up with the Jedi means nothing. Soon we'll learn the Jedi Order's secrets too. So, what are you going to do about it? What now Shield? What now Jedi Order?"

The van door opened and four people stood in front of her. A teenage alien girl with orange skin and long bright white hair with blue horizontal streaks. Next to her stood a tall handsome young man with brown hair and blue eyes and next to him stood an even taller and just as handsome Shield Agent with dark hair and blue eyes. Rounding out the quartet was a middle aged man with brown hair and sun glasses who was also a Shield Agent. Skye was shocked to be found so quickly by two Jedi and two Shield Agents and was at a loss for words.

"Your days working for Count Dooku are over Skye. And Rising Tide is finished." The teenage Jedi said with a smirk

She brandished her lightsaber at Skye and Skye promptly raised her hands in surrender.

"Do you always have to snip and joke every 5 seconds? I should call you snips from now on." The male Jedi groaned

"What? I can't celebrate a successful end to the mission Master?" She argued

"We still have to interrogate her." He said with gritted teeth

"Oh...I knew that." She replied with a sheepish grin

"So...is this a we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way situation?" Skye asked jokingly

The middle aged Shield Agent placed a bag over Skye's head. Skye was grabbed and placed in a plane of some sort. They flew to a hidden base and when the bag was removed from Skye's head she was in an interrogation room. The three men sat across from her but the teenage girl was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's the girl? Did you people get rid of her for knowing too much? Is that what you're doing to me? Am I that much of a threat to your little Shield and Jedi alliance?" Skye questioned

"I'm Phillip Coulson and this is Agent Grant Ward and the Jedi is Anakin Skywalker. We need to know if you or your group of hackers are allied with Count Dooku and the Seperatist." The middle aged Agent explained

"We don't want to hurt you. Also Ahsoka is fine just a little enthusiastic for interrogation work." Anakin explained

"Is she your protégé?" Skye asked

"She's my Padawan or in layman's terms my apprentice and I'm responsible for her training in the Force and the Jedi way." Anakin answered

"Oh..ok. Um...I still don't trust any of you. I know you'll torture me to get the information that you want. So just get it over with. I know what kind of organization you are." Skye accused
