I just wanted to clarify, I just realized that I named a character in Pineapple Sophia and a character in Child Cavalry Sophia, they are NOT the same person, it is a very common name though. ;)

Sophia Pov.

Her eyes flashed open. All she could see was fog, more fog, clouding her vision, coming for her.

"She is awake sir." That sounded like Simmons, although everything sounded like she was under water. Someone touched her arm, and she tried to pull it away, but it didn't respond. Fitz's face loomed over her, frowning.

"Can you hear me?" He yelled and she covered her ears, this time her hands responded. The fog slowly started clearing and she could see everyone's face staring at her, even Phil's face. His very angry face.

"What were you thinking?!" He yelled. "You could have been killed! You should have brought backup, You could have been killed." He said again. "How could you have been so stupid? You are the sanest person on this aircraft and now I'm having doubts." He was clearly furious. "I am Furious." Yep. That confirmed it. "Why?" He looked in her eyes. "ANSWER ME!" She took a breath.

"My brother, Dimitri, may be dangerous, but he is still my brother. I do not believe there was a bomb, he just said that to get me out of there." Phil opened his mouth. "I am aware that I could have been wrong," She rushed to say and his mouth snapped shut. "But, I am certain he would never hurt me."

"You pull something like that again." He closed his hands into fists. "Don't even think about it." Then he stormed out of the room.

"He really cares, Sophia." Simmons said.

"Yeah. Right." She mumbled.

That night, Sophia awoke and checked her clock, 2 AM. Go to sleep. She thought. But she knew sleep would be impossible. She crept out of bed and snuck out of the front door.

Melinda pov.

She had left again. Melinda got up and followed her, she had a feeling she would try and sneak away. The girl was sitting on the side of the pool with her legs dangling over. Hesitantly, Melinda sat down next to her and searched the girls stone cold face for any sign of emotion. After about five minutes, Sophia spoke.

"I killed them you know." Melinda looked over.

"Who?"

"My parents." Melinda was speechless.

"Why?" She knew it was a dumb question, but it was all she could say.

"They... weren't good people. They killed for fun. For pleasure, and I couldn't take it anymore." The way she said this, like it was almost normal, killed Melinda inside.

"But I saw..." Melinda started and Sophia answered quickly,

"Fury knew I would be in danger if people knew who my parents were. So he found me an adopted family, and kicked me out of the SHIELD base where I had been cowering alone." Melinda couldn't get over the calm way in which she said this. Sophia slowly pulled up her sleeve and let Melinda see her arm. There were Xs all lined up, scars, in a neat row, all going down her arm. But one caught Melinda's attention. One was new.

"Where did these come from?" She gasped pointing a the fresh one.

"Punishments. The new one is for what I did. I almost hurt you." She looked May in her eyes, "The pain relieves me. I have dedicated my whole life to the art of spilling others blood that it feels like a gift, and a sin when I spill mine." Melinda looked at her with a mixture of horror and pity. "Am I a monster?" Sophia asked suddenly and Melinda blinked, she said nothing. "Just what I thought." And then Sophia got up and left.
