Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages welcome back. How's everyone today? So anyways here's the next chapter for you guys.

Now on with the show.

"I don't see anything on the scanners," Kara said as she looked up from the dash, "Completely deserted."

"Where could they have gone?" Bobbi asked looking out of the windows facing the compound. "They do have that teleporter," Ward stated. He took one last look out the window before hitting the down ramp button and heading toward the back.

"I'm going to check this place out," he states checking the ammo in the ICER, "Stay here keep an eye on the sky," he said walking out of the quinjet. "Also try not to kill each other while I'm gone," he joked before continuing walking toward the compound.

Ward walked cautiously through the gateway into the compound. Now his mandarin was a little rusty but from what he could tell the writing above him translated to something similar to 'Afterlife'. Ward headed toward the nearest building to the right of him.

He gently pushed the door open with his foot as he scan the room ICER at the ready. All he could see was a fancy decorated room. Ward took one last look and moved on. He checked most of the buildings and found all of them abandon. He was half way through searching one of them before he saw a body thrown lazily; laying down on behind the building.

He slowly made his way to the black clad body and as he got closer he noticed what looks like thorns sticking out of it. He kneeled next to the body and rolled it over to see lifeless yellow eyes. Ward looked closely at the face before he realize who it was, "Raina?" he said out loud.

Ward looked over her head to see thorns sticking out from everywhere. 'You were with Skye when it happened,' he thought to himself. He noticed the puncture wound in her neck, "Well you always were a thorn in other people's side," he mused to himself before closing her eyes and crossing her hands together.

Ward knelt there for a few more moments before he stood up abruptly and made his way outside and headed toward the bridge near the building noticing some kind of coin laying on the ground. He picked it up to see that it was in fact three coins tied together by a string. That's when he remember the conversation he had with Skye and she said she was given a Chinese talisman.

"I guess she made her choice," he said to himself pocketing the talisman. Just as he was about to move on his phone started vibrating. "Yeah," he said answering. "Ward," he heard Kara half shout, "Get back here ASAP, something's going on."

"On my way," he said as he started running back toward the quinjet.

"What's going on?" he asked as he ran up the ramp. Bobbi turned to him, "Distress signal coming from the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship Gonzales used as a base since the fall."

"You don't think that's them do you?" he asked, "I mean it's a big risk for them." Bobbi looked back at the screen, "Well we do have something that's apparently deadly to the inhumans, so yeah I would say they would risk it," she finished.

Ward nodded, "Well it's the only lead we have so," he sighs, "Let's go." He made his way back to the pilot seat and began the sequence for takeoff when he turned to face Bobbi, "Listen S.H.I.E.L.D. probably figured out that you're gone by now so you should check in and make sure that they won't shoot us out of the sky when the chance come," he explained to her.

Bobbi nodded and turned to use her phone. Ward was able to get the quinjet in the air when he heard yelling coming from behind him. He turned to see Bobbi holding the phone at arm's length while what sounds like a man shouting came from it. Bobbi looked back at him before coming back to the front.

"They want to talk to you," she said. "What do you mean they want to talk to me?" he asked. "They want to talk to you; I don't know just take it." Ward grabbed the phone and slowly put it next to his ear, "Hello?"

"What's your end game?" he heard a stern voice state. "Well hello to you to May," he said sarcastically. "I'll ask again; 'what is your end game'?" she asked in an irritated tone. "There is no end game May," he answered.

"Then why help?" she asked. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you why," he said. "Try me," she challenged. 'Now they want to listen,' he thought to himself.

"Listen does it even matter; cause right now we have a ship filled with agents being held hostage by a bunch of inhumans out to do God only knows what," he started, "And let's face it you guys are going to need all the help you can get."

"This isn't the end of this conversation," he heard her breath out. "I'd be disappointed if it was," Ward answered hanging up the phone.

"So are we going to get shot at?" Kara asked. Ward shook his head, "No; I might, but you should be good," he said looking back out toward the window.

AN: And we'll stop here.

So what do you guys think so far? Hopefully you guys are enjoying yourself reading these. So not much to talk about here. Oh so Secret Warriors are coming to season 3 that ought to be cool. Unfortunately I won't be around to watch it. Also if you guys read my Authors note last chapter I said that I was leaving for basic in the middle of July; well that's been pushed back to September now so take it as you will. So this will get completed before hand.

So as always thanks for the reviews and the support. If you have any questions leave them below or PM me with any questions, comments, or smart remarks.

Until next time my fellow readers.
