Natasha flew down to Dallas the day after she notified Steve. She called Clint to update him on the situation. He seemed to be acting more like himself after the news. He had sounded ready to kill whoever had hurt Natasha or Daisy, even unknowingly. She could tell from just his voice and the sound of him pacing.
She quickly went to the destroyed lab which had been left untouched. It had been taped off and Fury had some senior agents watching over the scene to see if Daisy would come back to find answers.
As she stepped into the lower floors a shiver went down her spine. Natasha walked forward silently down the hall. She went to the one that the bodies started in. She noticed the metal table turned on its side. There was broken glass on the floor. Under closer inspection, it looked like broken syringes.
As Natasha looked at the surroundings it seemed familiar to her. As she walked around looking at the room it suddenly struck her why it was familiar. It looked like the room that the Red room had put them in after a treatment to ensure their cooperation.
Natasha internally winced at the thought of her soulmate having to go through this all over again. It could explain the pain that she had felt through their bond. While they had grown resistant it still would hurt them. They must have had a different technique than the red room or Daisy would have broken free.
She stopped dead at that thought. That must have been what happened. They must have tried something in addition to getting the lasting effects of the brainwashing but it had failed. That fact alone gave Natasha some hope.
Natasha walked out of the room to look around to see if she could find any other clues. She couldn't leave her soulmate out there possibly being hunted because of who she was in the past.
She began to follow the bodies again. The carnage seemed to deviate from the exit into a room. Upon entering it Natasha saw the only thing that was intact was a very bent chair in the middle of the room.
Natasha sighed as she knew from how everything was torn up she probably would not be able to get the techs to put the device together so they could find out what it was.
She found nothing else of interest in the route. Fury had already tried the cameras but the system was wiped. There was no indication of Daisy anywhere around the area. Natasha sighed and quickly left to go on a walk to clear her head so she could think of a plan to find Daisy.
Skye drove her van she just bought away from Miles' house. She had been getting very nervous about staying there after a week.
During that time she had gotten herself hired to fix a wealthy man's computer system nearby. He had paid her handsomely. With that money, she was able to buy herself a nice blue van. With some of the extra money, she bought stuff to put into it to make it a mobile home for herself. She had plenty of money left to get herself to any major city she wanted to go too.
Skye sighed with relief as she drove away from where her last memory had taken place. She knew that the men who had escaped would be looking for her. She had tried to find them but was unsuccessful.
She looked ahead and knew that the best place to go unnoticed is Los Angeles, CA. There were all kinds of characters there. She was not going to head straight there either. She was going to take her time traveling across the country to get there.
Skye had debated going to New York but felt that her living in a bright blue van in New York would be odder than if she was in Los Angeles. When looking at a map she would something find herself looking at specific areas. She just thought that it was her mind wondering off.
She looked back at the setup she had made for herself. She had much better computers in the back of the van which she was mentally connected to so that she was always in contact with the Rising Tide community. Over the past week, she had been figuring out who each of the members were so she would not be caught unaware of people who could potentially be very bad.
It took her about 5 months to get to Los Angeles since she took her time getting there. During that time she caught a glance of a project that looked like it could be very bad. It was based in Los Angeles so she was glad that she had made the decision to come here instead of New York.
Skye set up her van near in an alley that allowed her to do surveillance on the building that the project was secretly being done inside. She had gotten herself plenty of equipment for her to us to spy on them. She had been piggybacking the Wi-Fi from the dinner she was parked next to.
She had been posting a few secrets onto the website that the Rising Tide was running. She had found some corrupt institutions and their secrets mainly just to keep her cover intact. She mostly put up videos about the information and to warn other agencies that they would find out the secrets. She had multiple voice filters in the videos to keep anyone from recognizing her voice.
Skye wondered the street restlessly. She had not found anything helpful about her past. She found a document about an asset to Shield that had gone missing. She had seen some of the secrets that Shield was hiding and knew that the Rising Tide was going about this the wrong way. She had thought it over and had decided that she was going to allow Shield to catch her. She had begun to leave bread crumbs for them to find since then. That was a couple of days ago.
She had just about finished her run when she stopped to take a rest. She looked up at the building that Centipede was in just as it suddenly exploded. Skye quickly pulled out her phone and began to record the building in hope to get more evidence about the program.
She was just about to put her phone away when a man carrying a women leaped out of the window and landed near her. She looked at the man in surprise. The hooded man put the stunned women on the ground and then looked up at Skye.
She was the only one close enough to see his face. She had moved her phone away and turned off the recording as she seemed to hesitate on whether or not she should approach.
Before she could decide the hooded guy took off. Skye ran up to the women to check on her since it was the right thing to do. Skye quickly moved away from her when the paramedics showed up. She quickly went back to her van so that the news crews who showed up would not accidentally catch her in their shot.
She quickly made a video and posted it. She hoped that now that there was a powered person involved that Shield would finally show up to take her in. She couldn't help but quietly laugh at some of her videos since it was talking about the hidden powered people that the world was becoming more aware of. She was one of the many that people had no clue about. At least she hoped it was that way so that the men who she remembered from the first memory that she had would not find her again.
She would wait till tomorrow to approach the man she knew was the hooded hero. She had seen him around. Now all she had to do was to wait for things to calm down. She hoped that Shield would come get her soon.
Natasha was back at shield having known that if she had not been able to find Daisy the first couple of months she would not find her on purpose. Even without her memories, Daisy knew how to stay under the radar since it was second nature to her after so many years. She was back at work to try and distract herself. She was always looking for clues still but knew that Daisy would have wanted her to live her life.
She was at the triskellion with Steve. She knew that if she couldn't protect Daisy she was going to make sure that Daisy's family was safe.
Steve was trying to help her but was not successful. He was keeping his daughter's soulmate from falling apart. He could not do much but he was at least trying his best. Since Clint had recently cleared to be back in the field he didn't know how much longer Natasha was going to be his partner.
