S.H.I.E.L.D. (Framework)

"Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D."

- Patriot

S.H.I.E.L.D. is a virtual recreation of the real-world organization of the same name inside the Framework. Much like its counterpart, it collapsed due to long-term infiltration by HYDRA but reformed into an underground Resistance aimed at taking down HYDRA.

History
"Even though S.H.I.E.L.D. knew she was Inhuman, they brought her back to the States and put her into a classroom. The rest is history."

- Phil Coulson

After imprisoning Melinda May inside the Framework, Aida recreated her life up until the mission in Bahrain. She then proceeded to erase May's biggest regret, specifically her decision to kill Katya Belyakov.

As a result of May's actions, the virtual Katya was brought to the United States of America, where she became responsible for a massacre that would become known as the Cambridge Incident. The general public's response resulted in S.H.I.E.L.D. shutting down and HYDRA revealing itself to the world and taking over the planet. During HYDRA's uprising, 200 S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, including Jemma Simmons, were killed at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Science and Technology. The Hydra Observer reported that the deaths were due to a bio-hazard breach.

However, the Inhuman S.H.I.E.L.D. leader, Jeffrey Mace, was given the location of the Playground by Billy Koenig and started the Resistance against HYDRA. S.H.I.E.L.D. took care for the Inhumans HYDRA searched for and hid them in the base.

Once HYDRA agent Grant Ward discovered his girlfriend Skye was a potential Inhuman, he joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and served as an undercover agent for them. He later brought Jemma Simmons and Phil Coulson to the Playground to meet Patriot and then flew to Holden Radcliffe who Skye had said could help to take down HYDRA. However, Madame Hydra and The Doctor came and took him with them. Later, Alphonso Mackenzie offered S.H.I.E.L.D. his help in the fight.
