Chapter Nine (Torture)

Skye grimaced as the two Centipede soldiers threw her into another chair and bounded her by the wrists. She looked up to glare at Quinn who was standing in front of her smiling. "Look," she started. "I don't like you. Nobody does. And this isn't helping. Now, get me the hell out of here."

Quinn's lip quivered, "You know I can't do that, the Clairvoyant wouldn't like that."

"And why isn't this 'Clairvoyant' doing all of this himself?" Skye asked. "Why is he making you do all of the work? Where is he?"

"He'll come in time." Quinn replied. "He just wants to make sure that I can get you to show him what he wants before he comes out."

"Still don't know what it is." Skye retorted.

Quinn ever so faintly smirked, "But I think I know what it is." he stated.

"What?"

"You know there's a reason why you are no longer injured." Quinn stated. "I found it strange myself, but the Clairvoyant thinks he has found what he wants."

A dumbfounded look formed on Skye's face, "Wait, are you saying that I did that? There's no way." she scoffed. "There's no way that it healed like that."

"I'm saying that you healed yourself." Quinn responded. "My boss thinks that you have regenerative healing. You can quickly heal yourself."

"Yeah right." Skye retorted. "I don't think so."

Quinn nodded at one of the soldiers, which in turn dug a wickedly sharp blade into Skye's upper-arm. She screeched out in pain as the soldier pulled out the blade, sending crimson blood flying.

"And let's see what happens." Quinn laughed.

Skye didn't think that anything would happen. A blade just had been dug into her muscle. The muscle was most likely torn apart. She grimaced in pain as more blood stained her already blood covered shirt. "I told you," she huffed. "Nothing is going to happen." But just then, a warm, fuzzy sensation in her wound proved her wrong.

She stared in disbelief as the wound started to close up and disappear all by itself. A few seconds later, her arm looked as though a blade had never been dug into it. "What?" she gasped out, free of the pain. "What, what is this?"

Quinn smiled, "So the Clairvoyant was right. You can heal yourself." he stepped closer to her. "What such a valuable skill. Oh what the Clairvoyant could do with you."

"Cut the Clairvoyant crap." Skye spat. "Like I would give myself to him. Somebody like him doesn't even deserve this kind of power, if he even exists."

Quinn snarled and had the same soldier stab Skye again, this time in her thigh. She screeched out again and glared at Quinn through the blinding pain.

"Don't you realize we could go on like this for a while, it'll probably not kill you." Quinn said as Skye felt the thigh wound heal up. "We can keep stabbing you, over and over. And you'll have to experience the pain again and again. You'll do what I say or I will have them stab you over and over. So, are you going to come with me to the Clairvoyant or are you just going to protest?" he asked.

"Well I don't consider the first option an option. And I'll let you kill me before I would let you take me to the Clairvoyant." Skye snapped back.

Quinn frowned, "Torture it is."

Skye screamed out in pain as another blade tore into her flesh and sent her crimson blood splattering into the air.


"Brace for landing." May said through the Bus' intercom system.

Coulson and Ward geared in the cargo hold of the plane as Fitzsimmons readied more dendrotoxin for the Night Night Gun.

"Ok," Coulson said. "Me, Ward, and May will make our way underground to find Skye. You two keep monitoring Centipede communications for any change and keep us updated. We don't want this to be another dead end."

Fitzsimmons nodded in reply.

"Here, it's all loaded and ready to go." Fitz said, handing the Night Night Gun to Ward. Ward put away the gun.

The plane lurched as May landed it in a field near where the underground facility was supposedly located. A few minutes later, she came into the hold to meet with Ward and Coulson.

"How long are we going to be gone?" Ward asked.

"I don't know." Coulson replied. "First, we don't know where the entrance to this place could be. Second, if we get in, we don't know what kind of manpower they have stationed there. Third, we don't know where they are holding Skye. This is a mission of hide and seek basically. We hide from Centipede and we seek out Skye." he explained.

"Hide and seek, great." Ward mumbled. May shot him a glare and he straightened up.

"Alright Fitz, off we go to the lab." Simmons said, grabbing the engineer and dragging him over to the lab.

Coulson looked to May and Ward, "Are you two ready?" he asked. They nodded in reply. "Good, now let's go find our Skye."


Author's Note: I don't own AoS, Marvel does. Yeah, that happened. Sorry if I made it a little dark, it was supposed to be a torture scene. Skye's power is revealed and Quinn likes to torture. Coulson, May, and Ward set out once again to find Skye. What will happen next? Marvel's Agents of SHIELD will return in a chapter. Keep reading and PLEASE review! ~AwakeAndAliveSpartan.
