MORNING came.
Reyes' men took control of the bus as Skye, Fitz, Simmons, Ward, May and Hayley got tied up nearby the ramp/cargo hold and Coulson on the preparation room
Both May and Hayley were unconscious
"This is my fault" Fitz told them "Should have learned Kung Fu"
"Oh, yeah. But I shouldn't have pushed you into the field in the first place" Simmons told him "You weren't ready"
"It was my job to make a proper threat assessment" Ward told them
"Uh, we weren't ready" Simmons told them
"This wouldn't have happened if Agent May wasn't on the stick" Skye told them "She would have busted out some of her ninja know-how. Or Agent Collins with her reading minds thingy"
"Collins gave me the signal something wasn't right after profiling some of them" Ward told them, frowning
"Yes" Skye agreed "But too late. What about Agent May, then?"
"Agent May?" Fitz asked frowning "No. No, no. She transferred from administration"
"Well, I've seen her destroy a guy, so..." Skye trailed off
Skye, Simmons and Fitz looked at Ward in confusion
"You've heard of the Calvary?" Ward asked, tilting his head aside
Simmons and Fitz nodded "Yeah"
"Uh, everyone at the academy talks about stor-" Fitz told them
Hayley moaned softly, rolling over her head as she slowly woke up, fluttering her eyes open
"She's the Calvary?" Simmons and Fitz spoke together
May opened her eyes, as well just waking up "I told you to never call me that"
May straightened up from her induced sleep. She had been the first one down as they needed to take control of the bus and she was the piloting the bus.
Simmons smiled "I can't believe it. Oh, we're sure to get out of here now" she looked at May "Um, how do we get out of here?"
Hayley struggled to get herself into a siting positing, her head throbbing slightly
May sat up "Can't go through the doors. They're bolted, tied to the pressurization lines"
Hayley leaned against the ramp/cargo hold wall, looking over Ward toward Fitz and Simmons "And you two geniuses. You have nothing?" She asked, wincing lightly in pain
"Agent Collins, are you alright?" Simmons asked concerned, hearing the pain on her voice.
Hayley ignored the concern "Yes. I'm fine"
Skye looked at her in concern "Your forehead is bleeding"
Hayley rolled her eyes, "I'm fine. I've had worse" she replied. Ward nodded in agreement, looking at Skye and Fitz-Simmons "But seriously. You have nothing?" She repeated, looking at Simmons and Fitz
"Yeah, well, it's hard to concentrate in these intense situations" Fitz told her. Hayley cringed, smiling apologetically
"Hey" Ward told them "Don't freeze up. Take a breath. You don't need to come up with the whole solution" He looked at Skye "Just part of it. Right?"
"Yeah. Pieces solving a puzzle" Skye smiled a small surprised smile
Hayley looked between them knowingly, smirking slightly knowing something happened between them
~8~
They were stil tied up, planning on how to get out of there
"Well, that's clearly the worst idea we've heard yet" Simmons told them
"But it could work" Skye told them
"Reyes is gonna kill us the minute we land, regardless, and blame it on rebels" Ward told them "This way, we have a fighting chance. I'll take it"
"What's first?" Hayley asked
"We can't get upstairs without going in the lab" Fitz told them
Hayley leaned her head back, sighing tiredly briefly closing her eyes
"And the only way to release the lab doors is from upstairs" Simmons told them.
Hayley opened her eyes looking at them
"The first thing is, we're tied to the cargo door" Skye told them "So unless you can-"
May thrusted her arms, making something crack
"What the hell was that?" Fitz asked
Hayley smirked slightly "Her wrist"
Fitz shuddered
~8~
A man was at the top of the stairs, pacing. He looked down toward the others, noticing May wasn't there anymore
Hayley smirked looking up.
May was hanging onto the railing below him, flipping up to wrap her legs around his neck, flipping him to the ground. She jumped down, snapping her wrist back into place, looking at the others
Skye, Simmons and Fitz were in shock
Hayley and Ward smirked
~8~
They were now free, standing together in a circle
"Okay, we're sure, right?" Skye asked "Everyone's sure?"
Hayley looked at them annoyed
"We're all on board" Simmons answered
"Yeah, let's do this fast" Fitz told them
"No turning back" May told them "No freezing up"
Hayley backed away, toward a SVU.
"Because if we do, then... " Leo trailed off
"All of us die" Ward told them
"We know" Skye told them
"All right" Ward told them
Hayley smirked revving the engine to get their attention "You all are such goodie two shoes"
Hayley got into the the car
Everyone got out of the way
Hayley drove the car through the lab doors, tearing them down smirking while she did so
Hayley walked out of the car as the alarms blared.
Skye, Simmons, May, Fitz and Ward walked into the lab
~8~
In the lab, Fitz was working over a device.
Simmons took a screw gun to undo the screws in the vent above.
Skye was going though a cabinet.
Simmons took the vent off.
Hayley walked closer
May was keeping an eye out, opening a nearby door walking out, leaving
Fitz was getting something ready. He controlled one of the electrical devices, dwarves, sending one up through the vent
Hayley was going through a bag, finding rope.
Skye found another bag in the cabinet, finding straps
Ward was going through another bag, finding chains.
Skye, Ward and Hayley attached the rope, straps and chains to Fitz and Simmons, and then themselves
They all were getting ready to leave when they heard the intercom "S.H.I.E.L.D 6-1-6, we have radar contact. Requesting confirmation on a change in course. Over"
Skye, Simmons, Ward, Fitz and Hayley exchanged a look
"Agent Coulson, are you there? You have course confirmation. You are cleared direct to the Slingshot. Agent Coulson? Everything all right up there? We heard you had a little dustup on the ground"
"Simmons, forget what I said before" Fitz told her "This is the moment that we'll regret"
Fitz hit a button on his tablet.
They waited for the activation of the O-8-4, sensing the blast from it destabilizing the plane and alarms started to blare
The doors unlocked.
"It worked" Skye told them in surprise
"The drop in cabin pressure released the doors" Simmons informed them.
"Collins and I'll take care of the soldiers" Ward told them. Hayley nodded in agreement, "You guys get to the O-8-4"
"And Coulson?" Fitz asked
"Let's hope he can handle himself" Hayley told them "For now"
Skye nodded as Hayley and Ward walked away.
The others following behind.
