Kidnapping of Chan Ho Yin

The Kidnapping of Chan Ho Yin was one of Centipede Project's initial tasks in order to capture an enhanced individual who would lead them to perfect their serum.
==Background==
Chan Ho Yin was an individual gifted with pyrokinesis powers after an industrial accident, which caught the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Chan tended to use his powers as part of his magic show in the streets of Hong Kong. Chan and his abilities were put in the Index, and Chan was placed under the supervision of Agent Quan Chen, who instructed him not to display his powers in public. Although frustrated by this order, Chan never drew too much attention with his powers, still occasionally using them along with his more mundane tricks.
However, Chan eventually got the attention of another organization: the Centipede Project branch of HYDRA. Thanks to information sold by Rising Tide hacker Miles Lydon who had hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D. at her request, Raina located Chan in Hong Kong, and saw in his powers an opportunity to perfect the Centipede Serum and fix the instability that had affected previous users of the serum.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 1.05: Girl in the Flower Dress
==Kidnapping==
Raina traveled to Hong Kong and managed to find Chan Ho Yin. She approached him by attending one of his street performances, claiming to be genuinely impressed and interested in his gift. Using her charms, Raina was able to persuade Chan to bring her to his home. There, she asked for more details about his powers and how he had acquired them. Chan remained elusive, being on the verge of mentioning S.H.I.E.L.D. keeping him from fully utilizing his powers.
Raina insisted that Chan's powers deserved recognition and that he had been chosen. She then asked him to close his eyes, which Chan did, but he then realized that two other men were now present in the room, wearing fire-proof clothing. The two men immediately seized Chan, who tried to defend himself using a pair of scissors he used to stab one of his attackers in the leg. However, Chan was eventually knocked unconscious and taken away by Raina and her two acolytes.
==Aftermath==
Chan Ho Yin was taken to the Hong Kong Centipede Base, where Raina patiently waited for him to regain consciousness. When Chan finally woke up, Raina requested permission to do some tests to further assess his powers. Chan initially refused, expressing his wish to leave the facility, but Raina then explained that this was his only opportunity to become as famous as the Avengers. Upon being assured by Raina that he would get all the recognition he had ever desired, Chan accepted to stay with her, taking the name of Scorch that she had suggested. Chan was however unaware of the Centipede Project's true intention regarding his powers.
S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Quan Chen noticed Chan's disappearance and investigated in his house, leading to the discovery of a piece of fire-proof clothing that had been torn out from one of the kidnappers' suit when Chan defended himself. The case was then brought to the attention of Coulson's Team, who used Skye's abilities to track down Miles Lydon after being alerted by Quan that S.H.I.E.L.D. had been hacked by the Rising Tide. This later led to the arrest of Lydon.
