Silver Winter Fest 2
Skye rushed across the street narrowly missing a hit from a truck and dashed into an alley, hoping to hide from her pursers. She ducked behind a dumpster before reaching for her icer that was hidden underneath the back of her shirt. She took a calming breath and peaked around the corner, aiming for anything that entered the alley. Suddenly something landed behind her and she jumped spinning around to see a large man with a mask over his face. She reacted and shot off two rounds straight to his chest, the guy stares at her with his head cocked before he lunged for her knocking the gun from her hand.
Skye ducked missing a right hook to the face and went on the defensive, instantly returning his punches but as her fists made contact with his chest pain shot through them. 'His chest feels like pure steel' she thought as she dove for her gun, only for the guy to catch her ankles in a death grip. She gasped just as she was thrown across the alley and into a brick wall. Skye groaned as pain shot through her body, she pushed herself up and noticed that there was now four men. Three of which had been pursing her from the diner, and the other one who was obviously some sort of meta human.
Skye pulled out a knife from her belt and began maneuvering herself out of the corner, "Who do you work for!?" she exclaimed with narrowed eyes, waiting for an opening to pounce. The ' metal soldier' as Skye had begun to refer to him in her mind looked to the tallest broadest guy of the three who spoke "We are with an organization that wants you for our Arsenal and we insist that you come with us willingly. We won't harm you." he reassured with a slight smirk making her eyes roll. "I am not going anywhere with you, so tell your boss that I am not interested and to leave me alone."
She moved to pass them when the leaders arm shot out and grabbed her arm roughly making her freeze and turn her eyes to meet his. "Big mistake." she moved quickly and slashed the leader in the face before turning around and having her fist make contact with another's lip, busting it easily. The men weren't going down easy to say the least, every time she got one down another jumped back up. Skye was getting breathless as the fighting got so fast it was a blur, one of the super soldier's grabbed her wrist and began to twist as the other punched her in the face causing her to cry out as her lip burst with blood and a bruise began to blossom on her face.
She pulled out a knife and stabbed it desperately into the super soldier's leg, making him release her. She raised her hands and hesitated to use her powers for a second before she let them come to life as the men charged her. Skye used small bursts of her quake powers to throw the super soldier's back after a few moments she began getting agitated "Will you guys just stay down!?" she exclaimed before resorting to more lethal moves. She managed to break one of their arms before one of them grabbed her by her her hair and yanked her back. Her back collided with the metal dumpster making her groan and hold her shoulder.
Before she could get up a fist collided with her nose and immediately blood spirt forth as an audible crack was heard through the alley. Skye's eyes turned to slits as she wiped the blood from her nose and stood up, she reacted quickly taking them off guard and sending a large burst at them. They went flying in every direction, Skye stumbled slightly before moving as quickly as she could to the entry of the alley. She got two steps from being on the sidewalk when a strong arm wrapped around her neck and pulled her back. She tried using her powers but her oxygen flow was being cut off too quickly for her liking, after a few moments her vision began to get spotty.
She was struggling desperately to get free but she couldn't escape especially when the other three men each grabbed either one of her arms or legs. Right as she was about to lose consciousness she heard someone shout her name "SKYE!" the men holding her were startled and their grips on her loosened enough that she could gasp for air. She focused on the figure at the end of the alley only to see that it was two figures "Lincoln! Elizabeth!" she exclaimed weakly only for the grips on her to tighten once again causing her airways to close. Lincoln lunged at one of the guys and soon figured out why Skye hadn't been able to take them down. He opened his palms ready to use his abilities when out of no where the man in front of him was frozen solid.
He turned to see that Skye was now standing wide eyed gasping at the three other men around her being frozen solid, the source being ... "Elizabeth..." whispered Lincoln slightly shocked . Elizabeth took a step back afraid of what the two agents think "I am sorry... I... I should go." she says moving to escape the alley only for Skye to step in front of her. "Wait... You don't have to go. You saved my life!" she says in a comforting tone, keeping all her weight off her left ankle. Elizabeth looked cautiously between the two of them before looking at them with knitted eyebrows and asking "Why aren't you running? Everyone runs or calls me a freak and tries to kill me. Why aren't you two running or trying to kill me?"
Skye met Lincoln's eyes with sorrowful expression before they both took a step towards Elizabeth, Skye smiled at her while Lincoln replied " Why would we be afraid of you? We know your not a freak because we are just like you." Elizabeth stepped back slightly concerned as she quietly asked "What do you mean?" Lincoln held his palm out and let a burst of electricity transfer from one hand to the other. Skye gestured towards the nearby trash can and began levitating it, Elizabeth looked between the two gawking. "Oh my gosh... I am not the only one." The two shield agents gave her a warming smile, before Skye spoke up "So the rumors about you were true. However I think they were a little off when it came to what type of abilities you had."
Elizabeth stepped back slightly and asked "What agency do you work for again? Strike that, I don't want to know but what I do want is for your agency and every other agency to leave me alone. I won't be a weapon." she stated firmly, making Lincoln and Skye lock eyes and have a silent conversation. "We can respect your choice to not bring you into our agency, however we would really like it if we could become friends and keep in contact. People like us should stay together, there isn't a lot of us." she explained with a slight glimmer of hope in her eyes that actually put Elizabeth at ease. "It would be an honor to have you two as my friends."
(1 month later)
Steve groaned looking at a map of the world, a bunch of red X's on various different states and surrounding areas. "He is taking out specific bases, but what does all these Hydra bases have in common?" he asked to no one in particular. Sam was standing behind him rubbing his chin in thought before shrugging "I don't know man, each one had components to hold the Winter Soldier... Although a couple of them were a little smaller in size, maybe they held him before he bulked up?" he suggested as he himself looked over pictures from the previous bases. "We are missing something, Bucky is looking for something... What is it?"
Hundreds of miles away Skye was in a rather intense argument with Coulson. "There is no way that I am going to sit by and let that woman march around here like she owns the place!" yelled Skye her fists clenching in anger. Coulson rubbed his forehead "We need to cooperate with her! Whether we like it or not, they are the replacement for what was SHIELD. Not to mention they have all the funding." Skye's eyes narrowed "She tried to kill Lincoln and kidnap me! We can't trust her!" she exclaimed gesturing to the picture on screen of Rosalind."She is staying. Deal with it! " he stated firmly and took a step to leave only for her to reply "You know... There is someone else who could help us. He has the resources and ability to help shield, why haven't you gotten in contact with him?" she asked cocking her head to the side.
Coulson turned "No! We are not contacting him and that is an order Skye!" he stated firmly, Skye huffed in annoyance before marching from the room. As she turned the corner she came face to face with Rosalind, she went impassive while the ladder smiled "Agent Skye, do to your unique abilities we want you to participate in a series of tests." she said casually, while Skye looked at her gobsmacked. "Ex... Excuse me!? I am not taking a bunch of tests! I have rights! What did Coulson say about this!?" she exclaimed angrily, hoping that Coulson had been against this and she was simply trying to pull a fast one. Rosalind pursed her lips before stating " Coulson has agreed to it, however he did refuse to let me test both you and Lincoln and since I could only choose one I picked you."
Skye's fists clenched as she put on a strained smile "Lucky me." Rosalyn smirked before saying " Be in the lab at 05:30 tomorrow." before turning on her heel and smoothly walking away. She waited till the woman turned the corner before she spun around and ran down the opposite hall as she said "There is noooo way I am taking those tests. Where is Lincoln?" Lincoln was in his room bouncing a ball of the wall as he stared boringly at the tv screen with news of hydra being eliminated. "Pfft, that's impossible." he said changing the channel to another news station. Skye burst through his door making him jump to his feet ready to defend himself.
He instantly relaxed and noticed Skye's furious expression "Errmm... Do you want to talk about it?" he asked nervously before gesturing to the couch he had been sitting on. Skye huffs sitting on the couch crossing her arms before she exclaimed "Rosalind convinced Coulson to let her team run tests on me!" Lincoln looked at her with wide eyes "What!? That's impossible!" he said not at all convinced at the possibility of Coulson betraying Skye in that way. Skye hugged throwing her hands into the air "That's what I thought! But it's true! I can't believe this... Ever since Rosalind came into the picture Coulson hasn't been the same. What should I do?" she asked looking rather confused.
Lincoln was silent for a moment before he looked her straight in the eyes and asked with a raised eyebrow "What do you think you should do?" Skye bit her bottom lip before signing "I guess I have to go get help, there are few people that can get Coulson to see what's really happening." she said with a frown upon her face causing Lincoln to stand up and grab his duffle bag. "What are you doing?" she asked with furrowed eyebrows. Lincoln rolled his eyes before replying "Well I am your partner and I am going with you. No, don't even try to talk me out of it Skye." he finished with narrowed eyes challenging her to argue with him.
Skye relented and replied " Okay, we need to sneak out of the base... We could say we have a possible Ward siting and leave to check it out before he can object." Lincoln shrugged "That should work, I will get transportation ready. You can go to Coulson, just try to avoid Rosalind." The two parted ways with grim expressions knowing that they would be in huge trouble when they returned.
