They talked for a bit. Julia then closed her eyes, sighed and said "you know what I miss ward?"
"what?"
"I miss the rain"
"the rain?"
"ya. I miss the rain. How it feels when it hits your face. And you know what the best part is? The rain drowns out all sound. All that you hear is the rain."
"sounds nice"
"oh it's heaven. That's the only thing I miss about being down there, the rain." Before ward could answer, Hunter came to switch with ward.
He walked in, looked at her tied up and joked "well this is a new side of ward that i've never seen" ward started turning red. "your just mad he beat you to it." Julia joked back. They both started laughing as Ward became a tomato. "alright, Im here to relieve you of your dutties." he said to ward. "thank you" ward stood up and left.
Hunter sat down on the stool and said "so how long are they keeping you like this?"
"I don't know, but it's starting to get annoying. Like my nose is starting to itch" Hunter started laughing. He then reached over and scratched her nose. "better?"
"ya, thanks Hunter"
He slouched back into the chair. "so what's the deal with you and ward?"
"what do you mean?"
"well, the guy who shot you in the head and who you punched is now your best friend? How'd the hell did that happen?"
"idk. I guess I saw something in him that you all blindly ignored"
"and what's that?"
"that when he cares, he's the dedicated person, but when he feels unwanted, he hides. What i've Seen is that people can change."
"Right, you sound like a therapist."
"thankyou. Now, what about you and Bobby?"
"what do you mean me and Bobby"
"what's going on between you two?"
"nothing"
"that's the worst lie I've ever heard. I know you still have feelings for her."
Hunter went silent. "don't feel bad, it's a normal thing to still have feelings for someone"
"ya well... Let's change the subject."
"alright. So how'd you get into shield?"
"technically, my friend got me in."
"thats great. Is she with you here?"
"she actually is the one that turned to stone." Hunter said softly.
"oh shit, Hunter im sorry."
"it's ok. She was... She was a good friend. And I got her a proper funeral."
"that's good. What was she like? If you don't mind me asking"
Hunter started telling julia all about her. How she laughed, what they talked about. Even how he saw her die. Time passed as he was telling his story if their lives and how they met.
After an hour, Simmons knocked on the door. "hey. Any good news?" Julia asked. "actually, I do. I looked into your blood vessel and I have not found any traces of the serum in your blood."
"and what does that mean exactly?" asked Hunter.
"it means that you can finally untie me." Julia answered.
Hunter stood up and untied her hands then her ankles.
The first thing she did, was stretch and turn her ankles and wrists. She then swung off the table and stood up, immediately getting a head rush and grabbing onto the table and Hunter to stabilize herself. "well that was a bad idea" she said while shaking her head and getting her balance back.
She walked upstairs and found Ward in the kitchen, his head in the fridge. She creept up on him and said "boo" he jumped a little bit. Julia laughed as she saw that his hand was gripped on the sauce bottle, the hardest thing in the fridge.
"what were you gonna do? Murder me with salad dressing?" and she laughed.
"I see you've been untied"
"yup, no more ropes. Simmons didn't find any trace of the serum un my blood, so I'm cleared."
"that's good. So are you hungry?"
"ya a bit"
"then why dont you help me?"
"sure, why not"
They started cooking then the others started pouring into the room. "smells good" said Mac. "thanks, want to help?"
"eh..."
Fitz walked in with Simmons. "what are you all up to?" Simmons asked
"we're making super. Do you guys want to help?" Julia asked.
"um, well, were not very... Um, good at cooking and... Ya" the two stumbled.
Julia walked over to the three and said "all you need to do is cut the vegetables. Think you can do that between the three of ya?" they all nodded. "great." Julia went back to help Ward with the rest of the food as the three cut the vegetables.
After a while, the entire team had sat down and ate. Coulson was the last to arrive and saw everyone eating and talking. "did I miss something?"
"Julia and ward cooked us super" answered triplett. Coulson sat down and saw that the only one that want there was May. "is May still flying the plane?"
"I believe so" replied Simmons.
Everyone sat down and ate, by the end of the meal, Julia and Bobby were washing the plates. May came down the stairs and saw everyone sitting on the couch. "we've landed" she stated.
Everyone's smile suddenly grew weak as they rememebered why they were there and who they were going after. "thank you, we will get things ready in the morning." said coulson. "shouldn't we start getting them ready now? We still don't know when and where they're are stationed." she retorted. "I hate to say it, but I agree with May" said Hunter. "coulson said that we're going to start in the morning." said Bobby.
Soon, they all started going back and forth. Julia sat in the middle of everyone arguing. It soon turned into shouting. All the loud voices started hurting Julia's head and she was getting sorta scared, memories of her brother and her parents arguing. Everyone was shouting when all of a sudden, Skye heard something.
Upon one summer's morning
i carefully did stray
down by the warls of wapping
where i met a sailor gay
She looked at everyone then realized that it was Julia that was singing. She tapped triplett who was next to her and he watched Julia sing, her eyes closed as if concentrating on the music.
Conversing with a young lass
who seem'd to be in pain
Saying, William when you go
I fear you'll ne'er return again
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I distain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my Jolly sailor bold.
Soon, everyone realized that she was singing and they were listening to her angelic voice sing softly.
His hair hangs in ronglets
His eyes as black as gold
My happiness attend him
Where ever he may go
Hunter started a word but May, of all people, shushed him. "listen" she whispered to him.
My father is a merchant
The truth I now will tell
And in great London city
his opulence doth dwell.
My heart is pierced my cupid
I distain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold.
She opened her eyes and looked around at everyones ether shocked expression, confusion or just plain amazed. "I don't like when people fight, it hurts my ears." Julia stated softly, stood up and walked to her room. Everyone waited a few moments, not wanting to break the silence. "I-I think we should all get some sleep. We'll talk in the morning." said a hesitating coulson. Everyone agreed and went their separate ways.
