A/N: I had a hard time thinking of what to do for this chapter. I probably would've given up by now if so many of you didn't like this story, so thank you for encouraging me to keep going. If you guys have any ideas on how the story should continue, tell me. It would be really helpful. Hope you guys enjoy this long chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters.

Skye's POV

Donovan stands in front of Ward. "Do you know any information on how the scientists changed Steve Rogers?"

Ward glares at him. He doesn't answer.

Donovan looks over at the guard in front of me and gives him a nod. The guard reaches in his pocket and pulls out a taser. I panic. Before I could say anything, I feel a painful electric shock go through my body. I tried to keep my mouth shut but instead, I let out a scream.

Ward winced at the sound.

The pain finally stopped. My body feeling sore. I was gasping for air.

"You know, that was only 5 seconds. Every time that happens, we'll add another second. So be warned. Answer my questions correctly and that won't be a problem." Donovan turns his head back at Ward. "So...are you going to answer my question this time or will poor Skye go through another shock?"

There was a long pause. I closed my eyes and waited for the shock to come.

"I don't have clearance to know that. I'm only level 7. What your looking for is level 10 information." Ward said angrily.

I hear footsteps getting closer until it stops right in front of me. I slowly open my eyes to see Donovan staring me down.

"You're a hacker. Can you hack into SHIELD's database and get that info?"

I tried to answer but I couldn't move my mouth. My body was slowly falling asleep.

"Looks like she needs a boost to keep her awake."

My eyes jumped open when I felt the pain come back. I screamed again, hoping that it could help with the pain. It felt like all my organs were frying in my body.

The pain stopped and Donovan asked again. "Now that you're awake. Can you or can't you get the info?"

I tried getting air back into my lungs. "You...can go to hell."

"Been there, done that." He nods at the guard in front of Ward and shocks him.

I could hear the taser and grunts of pain from Ward. Sweat was forming on his face.

"Stop!" I yelled.

The guard stopped the taser. Ward was breathing heavily.

I glared at Donovan. "Seems like you don't know much about me because if you did, you wouldn't need to ask that question."

"Oh, I know a lot about you, Skye. I know that you're a really good hacker. You found out about SHIELD in a van with a laptop that you won from a bet. I just wanted to see if you're willing to do it for me?"

"Why would I do that, if your gonna use us as test subjects when you get your hands on it?"

Donovan sighed and gave a nod to the guard again. I turn my head to see Ward getting shocked.

"Fine! I'll do it."

"S-skye..." Ward tried saying.

Donovan smiled. "Good. You'll be doing that tomorrow. I'm exhausted, how about you?"

Ward and I both gave him a glare.

"Guards, give them some water. Looks like they need it." He opens the door and walks out.

I drank the water hungrily, like it was the last time I'm going to have it.

The guards left and closed the door. It was quiet for a really long time. I look over to see Ward staring at the cuffs around his wrists. I could tell he was still angry of what Donovan said about me.

"Ward. I'm sorry, but hear me out, please?"

He tensed but continued to look at the cuffs.

"Ok. I'll just tell you anyway, whether you want to or not."

He still didn't change his position.

I sighed and looked down. "I didn't have a choice. When I was sent back to my foster care, after my 3rd foster family didn't want me, I ran away. I didn't want to go through the process of hoping to find the perfect family for me again. I lived on the streets for a couple years, stealing food and clothes. One day, some strange woman came up to me and asked if I needed a place to stay. At that time, it was cold and I ran out of food. I went with her. Instead of bringing me to her house, she brought me to this secret company building. I didn't know what it was, but later I found out it was for the Rising Tide."

I could see Ward shift in his seat in the corner of my eye.

"They gave me what I needed and taught me how to hack. At the time, I thought they were just trying to show me how to use a computer. But when I got older, I found out that they were making me hack into illegal things. I wanted to get out, but I couldn't just walk out. I knew too much information. So I escaped. I stole some money from them before I left and used it on my van. I played poker and pool to get more money. That's when I got my laptop. They found me later on, captured me and tortured me for leaving. I begged them to stop. I said I would do anything if they would stop. They agreed and said that I had to get on SHIELD's radar. Once I'm in SHIELD, I have to give them info that you guys have on your database. I refused but they said that they had information about a sister that I have. I didn't know I had a sister but they showed a lot of evidence that we were related. I got to meet her and talk to her. We found out that we really were sisters, but the Rising Tide took me away. They said if I didn't give them SHIELD's information, they would hurt her."

I paused, thinking about how I felt at that time.

"So, I agreed. While I was trying to get SHIELD's attention, I found that SHIELD could probably find out what happened to my parents. You and Coulson found me, Coulson added me to the team, and I gave them what they wanted. I started getting attached to you guys, but I couldn't leave. SHIELD has information about my parents and the Rising Tide has my sister in arms reach."

Ward turns his head to me.

"I want to get out. I really do, but I can't. I'm roped between two agencies. If I pull too hard on one side, the other will come crashing down on me."

Ward looks at me with apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry."

"Yeah...me too."

"Once we get out of here, we'll find a way to get you out of Rising Tide and keep your sister safe. Ok?"

I give him a small nod. "Sounds good."

Thank you for reading again. I have no idea when the next chapter is going to be up. Hopefully real soon. And if I don't update before New Years, then I want to say have a safe and happy New Year! :) See you soon
