Alex Summers	125th Street Fault line, Southwest Harlem/Manhattanville. The fault line has been demonstrating a very minor shift over the past 3 weeks thus triggering a USGS investigation. Alex Summers contracts with various agencies. Some are archeological in nature, others corporate, and then there's the USGS. He happened to answer the call from the agency and accepted the contract. That put him on site 3 hours ago to check the monitors located in the subway system beneath the street and adjacent to the fault line itself. First investigation was to check for signs of structural damage to the walls of the subway, the second was to inspect for the epicenter triangulation, and the third, was to enter the subway tunnel itself toward the epicenter that's right along the tunnel.     Alex is wearing coveralls of brown, work boots, a construction protective hat, carrying a flashlight in the right hand, and an illuminated cell phone with a map in his left, and backpack on his back. He's tracing the tunnel toward the place that the readout indicates.
Skye Johnson	Skye wasn't here on official business. Let's face it, SHEILD had bigger things to worry about *unless* they were called in. They weren't. But Skye? She's been bothered by the fault. It's off. Out of order. Sure, they had surprise movement every now and then - it happens. This fault though shouldn't have been an issue. Even with surprise movements it should have settled down long ago. So, without being a problem for the workers whose jobs it was to investigate, she stood close enough to watch. Just in case. And if her skills were helpful in an emergency? So be it. Come to think of it.. maybe she should introduce herself, and offer to help.
Alex Summers	Alex will find that he has company and he'll shine the light in her direction before announcing himself, "Alex Summers, USGS." Then he'll ask in a professional tone, "Who are you and why are you down here?". He slides his phone into his back pocket freeing up his left hand.
Skye Johnson	A small smile comes with the answer. Hopefully he won't remember her claim to fame years ago during the Rising Tide fiasco. Sure she had been cleared, but some people still didn't trust her. "Skye Johnson. Agent of SHIELD. Though I'm not here on any official business. I was thinking I could help? I've got a way with things like earthquakes." Amongst other things. "Are people trapped?" Even as she asks that, she listens with her vibrational sense looking for missing bodies. Heartbeats. Etc.
Alex Summers	"No one is trapped. We've had readings of increased activity down here. I'm here to investigate. But, Skye Johnson, Agent of Shield. How is it you can help?", asks Alex as he moves to the tunnel wall looking for cracks https://tinyl.io/Bzax . Then notices a side access tunnel and shines his light down the tunnel to reveal the actual cracking. https://tinyl.io/Bzat     He moves in that direction while he listens for Skye's response. He clearly doesn't recognize her. But he knows who SHIELD is.
Skye Johnson	While Alex didn't know who Skye was, Skye knew of Alex. Not a lot - after all he was on the good guy roster. She normally looked for bad guys. Without an open case with him, the odds are that she wouldn't have any secrets on him/ "Well, I suppose you can't use my hacking abilities." She shrugs. "But you may have use for my other abilities. I also go by Quake." 'Quake' he should be familiar if only for the basics.
Alex Summers	"Quake? That's familiar. Like the girl who nearly leveled the city last year? Or was that Magnitude? I can never keep the names straight." and he grins while entering the smaller access tunnel. Shining the light on the ceiling to see the longitudinal crack that runs the length of the tunnel. He pulls out his phone, sets the screen to camera, and then starts taking pictures for documentation.
Skye Johnson	"I haven't levelled anything by accident for years!" Ask Logan about the time when.. but that was when she had first manifested her powers. It took time to control. Years. "I surprised HYDRA in t Shrugs. "I mean, I'm still a weapon. But not a weapon of surprise anymore. They now have things to use against me. Not that they are useful." Yet. There is always that yet. "I can't really put it back to the way it was, though I can make it more stable until the workers can fix the worst of it." Still, she doesn't move. As long as it isn;t an active quake, she knows better than to budge her way into someone else's work.
Alex Summers	Alex grins as he reflects upon leveling things. He then walks back out of the access tunnel and asks, "You can't put it back the way it was? Jeez. How about stopping an actual earthquake? Maybe stopping the plates from shifting Can you do that?" He remains standing on the elevated platform of the access tunnel. Only 2 feet above the level she stands on. He's curious about the nature of her powers. So he asked details.
Skye Johnson	"Not exactly? I probably could blunt it, or stop for a few.. minutes? Earthquakes are huge. Not just where you can see the result. To stop them you would need to spread your abilities to the edge, and them some. I can make avalanches easy. They are one little area to start. Easy. To stop one, would be harder. I would be better off directing the avalanche around me. It's a hell of a lot easier to nudge the outcome than to stop." "Mind you with smaller things such as stopping bullets? That I can do, within some boundaries. They are more localized than earthquakes." Seeing as the movement is stable, Skye doesn't mind explaining at all.
Alex Summers	"Interesting... So a lot like Avalanche, or Richter. Lots of tricks, but not fundamentally altering the event. While Magma could probably stop and even reset the tectonic shift. But still, none can truly fix the damage once it's been done." Alex speculates naming off various mutants with abilities like Skye's. Then he steps down off the elevated platform and says, "I've got my data. I'll get this submitted and turn it over to engineering. There's not much to see here, per say, just a few cracks. For now."
