A source of hope 25
Skye is peacefully asleep when all of a sudden the towers security alarm goes off making her jump up and quickly untangle herself from the bed sheets and grab her gun, her tablet and slipped on some converse shoes. She looked at the time and it was one in the morning, she quickly started making her way to the command center to find out what was triggering the alarms. Skye got to the command center and put her gun beside the computers key board as she began typing, suddenly JARVIS's loud voice boomed through the speakers making her wince "INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!" she types faster and pulls up security cameras. Her eyes narrow as she sees approximately three dozen fully armed men break through the towers lobby doors and swarm in some heading for the elevator and the rest taking the stairs, the four security guards were shot on site.
Skye began activating the lock down protocols effectively shutting down the elevators and out a emergency alert to the Director of SHIELD and Tony Stark, she grabbed her gun and started towards the armory on the floor above. Skye's heart was racing as she tried to stay focused on what she should be doing, she took the stairs and could here footsteps coming up the metal steps from ten floors below. Skye flung the stair doors open before closing them behind her and barricading it with various items in a minute flat thanks to her powers. The hacker spun around and rushed around a corner towards the armory, her gun was kicked out of her hand and she immediately jumped back and used her powers to summon any nearby object and as she was about to throw them in the direction of the attacker a female voice spoke quietly . "Skye?! Oh good you managed to get up here... Come on Bruce is in the armory." Skye relaxed as he saw Natasha come out of the shadows holding her gun out for her to take.
They rushed to the armory but stopped when the heard a 'ping' then suddenly glass shattering, Skye spun around to see two men fully armed zip line through the window. Skye and Natasha immediately started shooting at them, but the men seemed barely fazed. "Centipede super soldiers!" growled Natasha as her mag emptied. Skye frowned before she threw her hands out and all surrounding objects big and small all flew at the centipede soldiers at a bone breaking momentum. Both Super Soldiers crashed to the ground with a grunt before jumping back up, Sky used her powers and relentlessly persisted in bashing them with the objects over and over till they didn't get back up. Natasha pulled Skye into the armory where Bruce was breathing deeply, "Are you two alright!?" he asked seeing them wide eyed, " I AM FINE... WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE THEY ARE CENTIPEDE SUPER SOLDIERS BULLETS WONT DO MUCH TO THEM." replied Skye quickly signing. Bruce frowned when JARVIS suddenly spoke through the alarms "LEVELS ONE THROUGH TWELVE HAVE BEEN INFILTRATED... INTRUDER ALERT!"
Meanwhile still in Texas Tony gets the alert before directing his attention to his team "Avengers tower is under heavy assault according to the security cameras I can access they are Centipede super soldiers and to many for Widow and Skye to take care of... Bruce is trying to keep from unleashing the hulk as soon long as possible." he said with a grim expression and immediately Steve and Clint took off running to their jet while Thor, Tony and Falcon flew to the jet. Clint had it in the air in five minutes flat, Steve pulled his phone and dialed Bruce's number. At the tower Bruce has his tablet in his hand trying to navigate them as far away from the danger when his phone goes off causing Skye to impassively tense from the loudness of his cell phone. " Hello... Yea they are Centipede... Natasha and Skye are both with me. We are on the fifteenth floor going up, how long till you guys get here? ... What do you mean they are after Skye?" he says communicating with Steve, Skye whirls around clearly showing fear at the thought of her being the intended target.
Natasha immediately snatched the phone from Bruce giving him a silent apology "This is Widow explain quickly... So they lured you guys there knowing it would take you guys a couple hours to get back and she would be gone?" she said phone pressed up against her ear as she grabs various magazines and attaches them to her belt. "I understand... We need to move from our current position... Don't worry we are fully armed and I am sure the hulk will smash anyone who tried to take her. Of course bye." she says before tossing the cell phone back to Bruce and looking to Skye who was fighting to remain emotionless. "WE NEED TO GET TO THE SEVENTEENTH FLOOR ... STARKS ROOM HAS A HIDDEN EXIT THAT TAKES HIM DIRECTLY DOWN TO HIS BASEMENT THAT CONNECTS TO HIS GARAGE." she signs but both Bruce and Natasha look at her incredulously and Bruce hesitantly asks "How do you know that when even we don't know that and we have been here longer?" Skye shrugs before signing "I AM A HACKER I KNOW THE TOWERS BLUE PRINTS... LETS GO!" they make there way out of the armory and up the stairs. They make it to the seventeenth floor only to discover twelve guns pointed at their heads. "Give us Skye and we will leave in peace." says one of them.
Skye looks around the room trying to figure out how they got up here before they did when he saw that the outer windows had been shattered and a zip line was connected to the adjoining building. Natasha growls "If you want Skye your going to have to get past us." and the centipede soldier chuckles before cracking his knuckles with intimidation as he says "It looks like we have to do this the hard way."
