"Skye, my name's Skye"

"Skye…?" he answered hinting for her second name.

"Just Skye, no last name" She smiled, to his back. She'd often wondered whether she should make up her own last name, but in the end she decided she quite enjoyed having one name. It made her feel more mysterious.

"Call me Ward"

"Got it, Ward" she emphasised his name goofily. But he kept his emotionless expression firmly on his face.

They walked down the same corridor for what seemed like hours but in actual fact it was probably just under ten minutes. She tried talking to him every now and then by asking him simple questions like 'where'd you come from' but he only gave 1-2 word answers like 'Massachusetts…mostly' and then he just kept quiet.

Eventually they got to two large metal doors. He turned to her and put his hand in front of his chest warningly. "Just stick behind me, don't say anything unless he asks, ok?"

"Sure." She grinned at him, but he just gave her a look that suggested he was secretly worried. When he'd turned around she took a deep breath. Her pulse was quickening. Her breath hitched as his large hand rested on the door handle. He must've heard her because he turned his head to face her.

"Ready?" He asked wearily. She stepped forward and put her laptop against the wall before she returned to her original position. She could feel Wards eyes on her as she moved.

"Um-hm" He pushed the door open.

None of the men in the room seemed to acknowledge their arrival so she took the opportunity to study the scene around her. There was an older man probably in his mid-forties bent over a metal case studying whatever was inside. To his left was a tall, black man with half his head covered in burns, as she looked him over she noticed most of his body was covered in some sort of metal machinery. Around the edge of the room were 3 men all stood the same, with same emotionless expression, the same posture, the same common look and the same level of creepiness.

"Ward, nice of you to join us" The older man paused for a second as his eyes flickered to Skye "and it looks like you brought a friend." He walked towards them, his mouth curved into a smile. "Please, Ward, do introduce me."

"Skye-Garrett, Garrett-Skye" he stood in between them with his back to Skye as if he was ready to defend her from Garrett.

"Nice to meet you sweetheart" she only smiled in response.

"Ward, what's she doing here" his tone was relaxed and he said it light heartedly but she could sense the bitterness there.

"She thinks she could be an asset." He replied with absolutely no emotions evident in his tone.

"And what do you think?" Garrett asked.

"It's not my decision" after a raised eyebrow from Garrett, Ward let out a sigh. "She could be useful, with some serious work."

"So, Skye" He stretched her name out creepily. "Why would you be 'n' asset?"

Skye swallowed, hard. "I'm can hack, quickly and easily-

"Skye" Ward groaned, stretching out her name a bit.

She rolled her eyes. "I can do telekinesis… and see people's past" she mumbled just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Hmm, interesting. Why don't you show me what you can do." He gestured for one of the men stood at the wall to come closer. The bulky guy walked right up to them and stood next to Garrett, facing her. He then turned to the soldier "kill her." His voice was cool as if he hadn't just ordered her death.

The soldier took two steps forward before her instincts kicked in and she threw her arms out in front of her, her palms facing him. Immediately he flew back hitting the wall, hard. His body crumpled to the floor in a heap before he pulled himself back up and headed towards her. She held her hand up and clenched it into a fist. He stopped a few meters in front of her and gripped his hands around his throat choking and gasping. She clenched as tight as she could until she could see he was about to pass out when she let him go. He looked like he was about to get back up to attack her again - was this guy insane or something – But Garrett stopped him and walked to about a metre in front of her before Ward took a step closer as if it was some sort of warning.

"Impressive, but what did shield do that made you hate them so much that you would join an organisation of murderers?"

Well, when you put it like that. "They've kept me locked in a cell since I was a baby; I have never even been outside because they were scared I would escape. I've been watched constantly my entire life because I had abilities, because I was different. They have to pay for what they did to me. And I want to be a part of that, seems to me that hydra's my best bet at revenge."

"Smart girl. But don't worry; Shield will pay with or without you." Her heart sank, after all that, he was just going to discard her like a piece of trash, this was a mista- "although, I could use someone of your abilities on my team, you can stay." Skye couldn't help but turn and give a quick grin to Ward. This was actually happening. She was in, Skye felt like jumping up and down in glee.

"But I have some conditions." She swallowed down her excitement and nodded, trying her best to look serious. "Ward trains you, every day, hand-to-hand combat and weapons training"

"I can shoot" Skye interrupted, a little offended. She'd lived her entire life with Shield; of course they'd have shown her how to shoot.

"Well, when you can shoot as well as my boy Ward here can, you can drop weapons training, but you're sticking on a routine with hand-to-hand combat."

"Deal" She felt relief flush over her. It could of gone a lot worse.

"Well then in that case, Welcome to hydra."
