A wave of nausea hit Shannon as her vision blurred, black spots fluttered across as she tried to focus on the sets of boots coming her way "Stay awake." She ordered herself as she tried to move again, the pain shot through her body, beads of sweat of sweat fell from her face as she gritted her teeth. Unbuckling her seat belt she turned towards Samantha, gently she lifted her cuffed hands to her foes face and closed her eyes "I know you hated my kind but I will always try to protect your son and I'm sorry you got stuck in the middle of this." She stretched her arms past Samantha towards the busted window, the pain pulsed inside her left shoulder, it pulled and was dragged with her right hand. She bit the inside of her mouth to stop herself from screaming as her fingertips reached the metal, the air just touching the tips of her fingers as she stretched as far as she could.
An explosion of sound came from behind here as metal was crushed against metal, her fingers grasped the side of the door as she began to pull herself up with one hand, she could taste the freedom. Suddenly she was dragged by her legs back the way she had come, panicking she snatched on to anything to stop her being pulled she caught a glimpse of what remained of her door that had been firmly on and was now in a crumbled heap on the ground. She kicked as hard as she could, her feet connecting with something hard as adrenaline coursed through her body, turning she realized what she had been kicking. One of the owners of the black boots was the tall blonde surfer looking guy from New York , the other was a man of metal, built like a gladiator encased in a sheet of steel, his eyes caught Shannon's as she fought off his grip, his shovel sized hand held tightly around Shannon's right ankle. They both wore black and both looked like they were itching for a brawl.
"Hey Colossus relax man, I know you've been under cover for a while but go easy. Knight wants her in one piece."
Using his other hand the metal man known as Colossus smiled a sadistic smile "Get the van Beef." His voice full of menace as he again began to drag Shannon along the tarmac floor. Shannon shot her power against them both, Beef was thrown against the eight wheeler truck while Colossus dropped to his knees returning to the human form of a dark gladiator. Shannon struggled to her feet as she blindly ran as far away from the metal man, she staggered trying to focus on where to run, the blood from the gash in her face caught in her eyes. She felt him gaining on her so she balled as much power she could and lashed her hands around, the pain ripped through her arm causing her to scream as her balled up fists got caught in Colossus's vice like grip, another blast caused him to go off balanced as Shannon pulled back, he caught the metal chain holding Shannon's hands together freeing her hands . She threw her weight back and blasted her power in to Colossus's face but he dodged and grasped her by the throat with his left hand, tightening his grip,his metal fingers dug in to her skin as Shannon gasped for breath. "You won't win." He scoffed as she struggled in his hand. He pulled his right hand back as Shannon could feel her conscious ebbing away, the black spots returning. struggling to focus on the metal fist aimed at her she braced herself for the pain, finally giving in to the darkness.
Colossus released his powerful fist towards the helpless creature in his hand expecting to make contact with flesh, vibrations shocked his body as his hand contacted with metal. "The Soldier." He spat as he lost his grasp on Shannon, a kick to the gut sent him to the ground.
"Shannon oh god Shannon wake up." James fell to his knees at Shannon side, cradling her battered face in his hands, her eyes fluttered open as they struggled to focus on him. "James." She croaked as she lifted herself up smiling she placed her hand against his cheek. "Man I'm happy to see you." He laughed as he helped her on to her feet. She was unsteady for a moment but regained her balance. "We have to go." James spoke quietly as he began to guide her away from the wreckage, past the truck that had taken out the police car and turned it in to the deformed heap it now was. Colossus suddenly appeared swinging his arm at James, he blocked his metal arm taking the impact and pulling his knife out of his boot. Shannon fired her power at Colossus's mind making him swing his other arm blindly at her. It connected sending her hurtling in the air and connecting her back against the police car.
"Hey beautiful you missed me?" Beef stood, blood sending his blonde hair a dark red at the back of his skull. Shannon struggled back to her feet this time it taking her a little longer to regain her balance.
"Shut up and fight me." She spat at Beef preparing herself for his attack.
Metal hit metal as Colossus and James striked each other, sparks flew off as there metal arms connected with each other or with the truck at the side of them. James's held his knife in his right human hand, he lunged it in the direction of Colossus's abdomen, the metal man grinned a sickening smile as the sound of the blade crunching on impact echoed between them, James dropped the useless, mangled weapon to the ground.
The stared at each other, ice blue eyes staring down in to metal covered one, Colossus threw his metal fist at James but he dodged causing Colossus to create a hole in the side of the truck. As Colossus pulled to break free James striked at his legs causing them to buckle, a roar of fury erupted from Colossus as he charged towards James, arm still caught inside the truck ripping a metal hole as he went to charge towards him.
Beef circled Shannon, she watched his movement making sure her back was never in his way, he jumped from side to side mocking a boxer's stance "I'll give you this, you don't go down easy." He smirked as he flew at her, she shot her powers at him but they were weakened because she had lost so much blood so he fought on, toward's her connecting with a blow to the ribs and another to her arm. She fought to protect her left, battered shoulder as he striked blindly at any part of her unprotected body, catching her leg she lost her balance and dropped to the ground, he was on top of her in a split second. "Oh baby is it my turn on top?" Laughing he threw his right battered and bloody hand back to gain momentum in his strike.
Shannon's power suddenly hit her body like a bolt of adrenaline, she shot her right hand towards Beef sending him backwards on his back, he gripped his ears as droplet's of blood appeared between his fingers. She could feel her power replacing her pain, making it slowly ebb from her body she allowed it and she felt nothing, the power from her shoulder gone just power. "Finish it." A voice murmured from the darkest corner of her mind. "He would do it to you." It spoke again. Shannon made her way towards Beef as he grunted on the ground, his hands were still gasped to his ears. Raising her hand again she twisted her fingers sending Beef's body in to a spasm, he screamed louder as his body followed her twisted movements, tears spilling from his eyes. "Just like Hydra." James words spoke in to her mind, realizing the destruction she was causing she watched Beef sob on the tarmac road bloody and broken.
"Oh" Shannon stared at him as her power retreated back, allowing the pain back in, she could hear James and Colossus fighting near and she became painfully aware that they were not alone on the road anymore.
"Shoot." Knight's voice ordered from behind, she heard the blast of the electric guns and felt the shock from them instantly all across her body. She screamed in agony as the pain finally became too much, dropping to her knees she struggled to catch her breath. Defeated.
James kicked against Colossus's back sending him stumbling forward, he grabbed his throat against his metal elbow, flexing he listened as Colossus began to gasp for breath, the distinct sound of metal cracking intensified with each movement from his arm . Shannon's scream echoed in James's ears, forgetting about the monster he lunged forward in her direction, running towards the sound that turned his blood to ice. He caught a glimpse of Shannon on her knees next to a battered Beef surrounded by Hydra agents, dressed in SWAT like gear like before. Knight smirking in a very expensive black suit behind them. James made to run at Knight, anger pulsing from his body, he dove forward but was caught by the metal grip of Colossus big hand around his throat, he struggled as he was dragged towards Knight.
"Well, well look what I have here." Knight smiled as he moved in to the circle with Shannon, she struggled to catch her breath as she stared at the droplets of blood that were forming a puddle in front of her, she held tightly on to her left arm. "The famous Winter Soldier." Knight motioned at James who tried again to pull from Colossus's grip " And my favourite master piece." He pulled Shannon's head up with her hair, she stared in to his cold dark eyes."You will never escape me." He smiled sadistically at her, she never blinked away. Turning he walked towards the now stood up Beef "What did I say about no noise?"
Beef gripped the back of his head, he stared at the ground."Sir please I don't mean to sound like a kid here but Colossus was driving the truck." Knight walked a little away from Beef and sighed, quietly he pulled a 9mm hand gun from the inside of his suit and fired in to Beef's unsuspecting body, Knight gurgled in shock as he fell back to his knees. Knight approached him as he crumbled to the ground "I don't like failures." His attention turned back to Shannon as she watched Beef gasp for breath "And what to do with you and your man." Knight lowered his stance to match Shannon's "What is fitting for the great Whisper and the Winter Soldier hmm?" Thinking for a second that smile returned. "I know, Colossus kill him, he is the biggest failure Hydra has and I will not be taking a risk with him anymore. As for Whisper get her in to the van."
The air escaped James as Colossus's grasp tightened on Knight's orders, he struggled as he focused on Shannon as she rose to her feet, he couldn't see her face as it was bowed, her hair hiding it from view. The black spots closed in as the Hydra agent's moved in on Shannon, the sound of there reloaded guns crackled in to James ears as he fought to focus on anything. Suddenly the spots disappeared as the hold on James throat was lessened "Don't come to save me." Colossus spoke Shannon's words as she raised her head revealing her white eyes, with one strong swing James was thrown from the road, he hit some trees that lined the tarmac, his body crumbled as it struggled with the pain.
Shannon forced her power out sending the agent's back away from her, turning she threw Knight back against one of the van's he had arrived in, she raised him from the ground without making contact as he too began to choke as her power coursed through her body in to his. "I'm going to kill you." Shannon spoke in to his purple face, his eyes flickered to movement behind her and then Shannon realized all too late who it was as she felt the thud of Colossus behind her then nothing.
"Get up." James ordered as he forced himself up with the help of his metal arm, he heard the distinct sound of car doors, forcing himself to his feet he charged in to a run, moving as fast as he could manage, back on the road he charged towards the disappearing van's that were speeding away
"NOOO." He shouted as his heart hammered in his chest as they disappeared, leaving him behind. "She's gone, they have her." The thought ripped in to him as he dropped to his knees, he shouted in anger as he realized he had lost her. "What do I do now?"
"Please." The faint whimper brought him round as Beef lay where Knight had shot him, he held out his arm as James quickly moved to his side, he gripped his hand as he glimpsed the blood coming from his chest. "Do you love her?" Beef asked as he struggled to speak. James nodded as he held his dying enemy. "Then you need to move quickly." Beef coughed then continued "Because Knight does too."
"Where is he taking her?" James spoke as he saw Beef struggling to breath.
"Hell." Beef coughed gasping her air, he stayed with Beef until he went to the other side, standing he made his way to the police car taking as many weapon's as he could find and began to walk in the direction that Hydra had gone. He held the shot gun behind his head as he marched forward. "I'm coming Shannon hold on."
