When Antoine Triplett signed up for SHIELD’s Academy of Operations, he knew that he was signing up for being, quite literally, the shield of the world. He doesn’t like showing off his heritage, because to him, it has never been as much a matter of blood: it was more a matter of the life example his Grandpa and his comrades have set for him. He knew what entailed being an Operations specialist, and he had been trained for it; that’s why the way Jemma acts in the field came as that much of a surprise to him.
He found about it from stories first; Skye was very keen on making him feel welcomed into the team, and that included telling him all the crazy missions they had been on before he met them. Trip has always been good at listening to stories, but damn, how could he not listen to those stories? Ever since Garrett told him about Coulson’s unit, Trip always thought of it as something like a splurge Fury did in benefit of a loyal Agent that had seen it rough, rougher than most, but somehow got to tell the tale.
He couldn’t have been more wrong.
