Chapter 1 - Impact
Enjoy.
"We're coming in 3, 2…" Bobbi heard Lance's voice in her ear just a second before he, Skye, and May burst through the doors of the warehouse. The men were startled enough to hesitate in their movements, giving enough time for the agents to take the advantage. The gunshots didn't take long to appear and before long there was a full-on fight taking place.
One man tried to make a run for it but was caught easily by May who took them down with a swift kick to the jaw. He struggled against her hold on his neck before falling limp and allowing May to move on to another target. Meanwhile, Skye and Lance were working together on a larger scale of opponents, their movements proving their training together had paid off. In no time they had eliminated over half of them using only basic hand to hand combat.
Bobbi was busy with one particular man. The 'ringleader' of the group they were tracking to be specific. He was clearly more agile than the others as he countered each move she made with his own, the two being an even match. She attempted to swing at his jaw with one hand and slide the other towards his ribs but he saw it coming and slid out of her grasp to reply to her hit with one to her jaw. Disorientated, Bobbi couldn't grab the man as he ran out of the warehouse, the other agents oblivious. There was no other option but to try her best to chase him down herself but the knock to her head was forceful enough to hinder her ability. Setting off at a reasonable pace, Lance turned around just in time to see the back of her disappear.
"Bobbi!" He shouted after her but she didn't falter in her strides. Skye and May looked to Lance in confusion but when they realised Bobbi was missing, May led the way to follow.
Outside, Bobbi was hot on the trail of the man whose speed didn't match his fighting skill at all. He'd made it to his getaway vehicle and the engine was already going as Bobbi caught up. A panicked look flickered across his face as he saw she was still there, his foot desperately pressing the pedal causing the car to start moving. Bobbi grabbed onto the back of the vehicle and managed to manoeuvre herself into the back of the vehicle that luckily had an unlocked door. She vaguely heard voices behind her as she swung the door closed but had no time to look back now.
"What are you doing? Get out of my car!" The man exclaimed as she appeared next to him in the passenger seat. Bobbi shook her head,
"I'm not that much of an idiot."
The car picked up speed as they travelled along an open straight when Bobbi realised his plan.
"You can't do this," Bobbi insisted, "Hey, slow down!"
They swerved to avoid the curb as the man made the mistake of looking in his rear view mirror, seeing the S.H.I.E.L.D cars following and getting a little freaked out. A part of Bobbi felt sorry for the guy as he most likely only wanted the money from the job that had all changed now he didn't want to face the consequences of his actions. But she also knew that she was a trained agent and couldn't let her emotions come through at such a crucial point.
"You should never have gotten in here. Got yourself involved in something bigger now," He spat as if he was angry she was on a death route with him.
"Maybe you could just stop and let me out then, hey?"
The man chuckled darkly, "I'm not that much of an idiot, either."
Bobbi could only sit back and put her seatbelt on, regret flowing through her veins at her brainless thinking. The grassland flew past the window, making it more real to Bobbi of the fact that they were travelling at such a speed on this type of road. She turned her head back to the man whose jaw was tense and eyes held a spark of worry in them.
"What are you waiting for? A truck to come storming through? A rock in the road to cause an 'accident'?" She questioned.
"I need an escape. Driving as fast as this will guarantee me one."
Bobbi scoffed incredulously, "You could have just put your hands up back there. Instead you risk other people's lives on the road."
He smiled wickedly, "I like to go out with a bang."
It was then that Bobbi realised this man wasn't remorseful at all, that not everyone was good at heart. She failed to notice the large truck travelling down the opposite side of the road and the small glint of evil in the man's eye before he swerved. Bobbi whipped her head around and her eyes grew wide at the scene right before her eyes. Everything was halted for a second before moving in slow motion. She tried to grab the steering wheel but it was already too late. The impact hurt. A lot. Wheels screeched, metal made an awful groaning sound as it crunched and reshaped. She felt a sharp pain in her ribs and the burn of the airbag and seatbelt forced her backwards. Another force hit the car and it rolled. Once. Twice. Three times before coming to an agonizing halt.
All sound was muffled into one. The voices screaming, crying and the clanging of metal to metal. Smoke filled her lungs making it even hard to breathe on top of the injured ribs. Bobbi couldn't feel anything below her waist and all she could see was a blur which was fading fast.
The last words she thought of were her and Lance reciting their usual "Don't die out there, okay?" before everything disappeared and…
Darkness.
