Ackerly closed Fitz's bedroom door behind her with Orion at her feet. She looked down at the old dog, "Right then, boy-o, what to do now?" He tensed.

"Doctor Ackerly?" Someone asked. She looked up to see an unfamiliar face standing in front of her. He wore the usual suit associated with S.H.I.E.L.D. and was clean shaven.

"Yes?" She raised an eyebrow.

"I hope you don't mind me staying this but I'm a huge fan!" Every part of his body was animated as she spoke. "What you did in New York was amazing and what happened to you is really terrible."

"Which happening? I've had a lot of terrible ones." She said with a chuckle. Orion was still tense. Was he alright?

"Erin Hook."

Wait a second! Only a few people knew that it was her in the gym incident and even less know about the kidnapping. Her eyes widened and he reached out for her. She ducked and head butted him in the chin. As he reeled back, she kicked him in the stomach. He stumbled back and fell into the wall. "Orion! Get help!" Orion barked and took off to find an actual S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. She pinned the man to the wall with all the strength she could muster.

Hearing Fitz's bedroom door open, she made an effort to hold him firmer so he didn't hurt Fitz through her. "D...doctor?" He asked. Lyra bounded out of the room behind him and was at her owner's side growling and snarling at the HYDRA agent.

The man struggled under her. "Fitz," she said hurriedly, "you got anything to knock this guy out?!"

"Oh! I-urm-yes!" He hurried back into his bedroom.

The HYDRA man laughed and sneered, "You can't get away from us, doctor. We're always here."

"That might be true but I'll keep killing you all." She replied, tightening her grip on his shirt. "The more heads that come after me, I'll cut down. You won't stop and neither will I."

He smashed his head against her's, causing her to relent her grasp only for a moment. That moment was all he needed. He shoved her away and something sharp pierced her upper arm. He kicked her in the gut, winding her. Hunched over in pain, she watched as Lyra leaped onto the assailant and latched onto his forearm with an unyielding grip. He yelled in pain and pulled at her collar to get her off to little avail. The doctor took a deep breath to refill her lungs and a gun shot echoed past her ears. The HYDRA agent dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes and Lyra let go of his now limp and bloody arm. Ackerly looked around to find the owner of the gun shot. Up the corridor came Orion, Phil, Meyer and May with their guns aimed but not pulled. Looking left and behind her was Fitz. He shot the HYDRA agent.

She let out a long sigh of relief and rubbed her right arm where she felt the sting. "Thanks, Fitz, I owe you one." He stared at the HYDRA agent, and lowered his gun with a nod.

"Holy crap!" shouted Meyer dashing up to her with Orion. "Are you alright?!"

She nodded, "Yeah, I'm good."

Coulson and May approached the unconscious man. "Care to explain what happened?" May asked, watching the man carefully in case he would wake up.

"I came out of Fitz's room and he was there. He said he was a huge fan but said something I know for a fact he shouldn't know."

"What was it?" asked May.

"I'd rather not say." She continued to rub her arm. "I think he did something to me. He pushed me away and I felt something sharp on my arm... He also said that HYDRA would always be after me but that's not new." She looked at Phil. "Who is he? When did he join? Where from?"

"His name is John Haugen." Meyer said.

"He joined about a month or so ago from a S.H.I.E.L.D. safe house near Oslo." Coulson continued.

"That's too close for comfort..." She murmured to herself. "Did anyone else come with him?"

Meyer nodded, "Yeah, Mikaela Day."

"Find her. Search her rooms. I want to talk to her."

"Why?" May asked as she and Skye hauled the unconscious Haugen to his feet.

"I need to know if they're HYDRA and been following me."

"That's un-"

She cut May off, "Do it."

The Calvary, she shouldn't call her that, she knew where she got that nickname from- she was there. May looked at Coulson who nodded in agreement with the idea. "Do as she says." He told her.

"Okay." May handed Haugen over to another pair of agents and immediately started giving out orders to find Day.

Coulson put his hand on the shoulder of the arm Ackerly rubbed. "Let's see if he did do anything to you." He looked at Fitz. "Good work, Fitz, now get some rest." The young scientist opened his mouth to proest by the DIrect shot him a look that sent him back into his room.

Lyra looked up at her owner then to Orion and then Fitz's open door. "You can stay with him if you want." Ackerly told her. Lyra ambled into Fitz's bedroom where the door closed behind her.

"Alright, come on." Both Meyer and Phil said, ushering her towards the way of the medical lab.

"There's no need to baby me." She pointed out as they got to far into her personal space.

"Sorry." They said.

"It's nice once in a while but I'm a big girl."

Meyer laughed. "I'm sure you are."

They continued through the busy corridors towards medical with Orion walking ahead of them. Suddenly, he stopped and turned his head around to his owner. "Orion, what-" she felt the familiar feel of pins and needles all over her body, "get me out of here now." Phil and Teagan exchanged glances before looking back at the doctor confused. "Now!"

"Oh! Follow me!" Coulson hastily said. The quartet broke into a run and hurried down the corridor, dodging and darting past the confused agents, as they headed towards somewhere she didn't think was out. But they knew this place better than her. Her heart vibrated like a humming bird's wings trapped in her chest and the air temperature rose. Her body began to burn up. Minutes. They had minutes before something bad happened.
