- "You didn't have to take this house. You could've sold it."
"But I didn't. And now I'm in default. I can't afford the house. I can't afford to leave." - ―Alphonso Mackenzie and Ruben Mackenzie[src]
The Mackenzie Residence is the place of residence owned by Ruben Mackenzie.
History[]
Family Residence[]
- "Why is this still here? When Mom and Dad left you the house, they had to leave this, too?"
- ―Alphonso Mackenzie to Ruben Mackenzie[src]
The Mackenzie Residence used to be inhabited by John and Lilla Mackenzie as well as their children Alphonso and Ruben. The parents eventually left the house, which was reclaimed by Ruben, although the price was too high for his resources.
Alphonso used to leave his motorcycle in the house's garage while he was away working for S.H.I.E.L.D.[1]
Watchdogs Invasion[]
- "We know our way around this house with our eyes closed."
- ―Alphonso Mackenzie to Ruben Mackenzie[src]
Taking some time away from S.H.I.E.L.D., Alphonso Mackenzie returned to his family house to visit his brother Ruben, taking the opportunity to fix Ruben's motorcycle. As they spent some time in the kitchen cooking and watching TV, they witnessed the destruction of an ATCU facility. Due to the distance between the Mackenzie residence and the site of the attack, Alphonso was instructed to go there and investigate, forcing him to leave the house, much to his brother's displeasure who remained at the house drinking beers alone.
Alphonso returned to the house at night, where he faced his brother's anger and frustration. Ruben also revealed that he was behind his payments regarding the house's mortgage, leading to an argument between both brothers regarding ownership of the house and Ruben's admiration for the Watchdogs. Later, Alphonso once again left the house for S.H.I.E.L.D. duty in Easterling Farms, leaving spare parts for Ruben to install on his bike. Unbeknownst to Alphonso, Ruben followed him shortly thereafter, discovering his brother's work as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
Once they were both back at the house, the two brothers once again argued over Alphonso's secrets. However, they were forced to work together as the Watchdogs burst into the house looking for Alphonso. Alphonso retrieved his father's shotgun from a closet and led Ruben throughout the house after cutting down power. Taking down two Watchdogs, they were able to reach the kitchen, but could not exit the house due to other Watchdogs guarding the door. Alphonso was then shot in the arm by another Watchdog, but was able to incapacitate him with a cleaver, which he then added to his weapon to create a makeshift Shotgun-Axe he used to take down the remaining Watchdogs.
As their escape route was finally free, both Alphonso and Ruben were able to make it out of the house alive, with the former being taken care of by a medical team accompanying Daisy Johnson who had come to the house as reinforcement.[1]
Alternate Universes[]
Stranded in the 1980s[]
Alphonso Mackenzie living alone in his house
- "It seems you've gone full cabin fever."
- ―Deke Shaw to Alphonso Mackenzie[src]
During S.H.I.E.L.D.'s endeavours to stop the Chronicoms throughout history, Alphonso Mackenzie was stranded in an alternate 1982. He set himself up into his alternate parents' residence as they had been killed, which left the house empty as his younger alternate self and his brother now lived with their uncle. Mackenzie lived in a relative seclusion, spending his time drinking and building toy cars. He was occasionally visited by Deke Shaw, who had also been stranded in the 1980s and provided Mackenzie with groceries, although Mackenzie always received him poorly. One night, Shaw left a note through Mackenzie's door, urging him to come to Swayze's Bar.[2]
