Skye's parachute landed with ease at the boat's edge. Her fingers coming to unclip it and free herself from the fabric as that decended down onto the ice off the edge. Both Hunter and Trip freeing themselves as well and quickly at het sides, guns raised.

"Okay, let's get this over and done with quickly." Coulson called softly though the commons. "How's everything down on the ground?"

Trip took the lead this time, Skye following behind. "Little Chilly, but nothing more."

"Any sighs of Hydra?" Chen called next after a moment.

Skye stepped quietly as they made their way down the boat, suppressing her own shiver of cold.

Their mission was objective since the jump. Coulson had made that clear but it had made her a little uncomfortable at his phrasing. Gill wasn't a weapon for any side but they could help him. Maybe it was fortunate she had brought an ICER as well as her rifle….. If an ICER even worked. She's have to see how things turned out.

"No, all clear." Hunter called through next. Moving past her but the doors into from the desk opened up but Hunter and Trip got there first, shooting them down. "Okay, err, not alone."

Skye could hear him sigh out deeply. "Well… not unexpected. Keep going. Get to Donny before Hydra."

"If they're already talking to him?" Skye called.

"End the conversation..." His tone final but the implication was clear.

"Skye, you stay up here and keep the perimeter clear". Hunter called through.

"You don't give the orders, Hunter." Skye grumbled but took Trip's look and nod to follow through. Moving back and began to quickly more along on the top deck, using her hand gun to take out a few awaiting hydra guards.

Each tolled quickly though the one that fell off the edge was proceeded with a moment of silence then… THUNK as they hit the ice. But feeling confident, Skye set up her sniper file towards the doors; the likely place of exit for any hydra, Gill and their team.

"Gill is on sight, talking to hydra. But not for much longer" Hunter's voice called through quietly. But continuing to listen in, Skye was surprised to hear a thunk and a grump; a clattering following.

Then an all-too familiar yelp, bang then a wooshed sound

"What are we hearing?" Coulson called through. A hint of urgency more obvious.

Simmons? Skye could feel herself a little nervous in concern. Simmons wasn't exactly a fighter and especially against a gifted… her finger twitched on the trigger. Maybe… if Simmons got hurt.

"Trip shot me!" Hunter explained, a little winded.

"It's Simmons. She's on site with hydra. Do we maintain her cover?" Trip called though, unabashed by his actions against Hunter.

"Yes, maintain her cover."

"Your source, Coulson?" Skye called after a seconds back into the comms. That'd explain Simmons's absence but that just opened up a whole lot of new questions than answering them.

"Yes."

"Coulson!" Chen's voice was different, startled. "It's Fitz!"

"What?"

"He's been into the Asset's room."

"Get him out."

"He's leaving. Running." Chen called through but Skye knew she was pulling up the CCTV footage. "Here.."

There was a moment of silence then the obvious sound of the door opening fast and hard.

"Donny!" Fitz rasped, out of breath. "Donny's been brainwashed!"

"What?" Chen asked this time, confused.

"Donny took the sandbox for hydra. He's been brainwashed. Hydra's looking to reactivate it."

"Hunter, Trip get to him now." Coulson ordered, taking to that Intel.

But even Skye could see they were too late as the doors opened, the Hydra leader, Gill, Simmons and a few tactical agents following out.

"They're on deck. I have a clear shot."

"Good. If you can't take Gill in, take him out." Coulson called.

"No!" Chen called through. "Do not take him out, Skye."

"Chen, now isn't the time." Coulson called.

"Oh, no it certainly is. Skye. Injure, maim. Aim for the non-lethal parts of the body. That'll stop him."

"I give the orders, Agent Chen."

"You can't do what Hydra does, Coulson. It's not Gills fault hydra did that to him. I won't let you have another person's life on your hands on account of a hydra agent. Like how Ward played you with May"

Skye's breathe paused in surprise to hear her worlds as much as everyone else and she defiantly knew Coulson had been silence with a blow that deep but she took her orders. Lining up her rile with Gill's arm as he began to freeze the ship's side.

The shot was silent but she watched as it hit. The younger male yelping out in pain, clutching his arm as blood quickly seeping from the wound, aiming a second to his calf but it still occurred to her Hydra could still take him injured. Her hand reached for her ICER, pulling it out and shot at the other tactical agents then Gill who crumpled to the ground; face down. She dropped the ICER back then realigned it to the Hydra leader who was looking around; no doubt for her.

She met Simmons's look then took aim, being careful to fire off aim as Simmons pushed him 'out' the 'way'.

"Let's go!" the man called, Pushing Simmons towards the edge of the boat and towards the helicopter.

There was only a minute or so before it was up in the air.

"Gills's down for medical and containment." Skye called after a moment. "We have a few more hydra prisoners, supplies and Simmons's cover's been maintained." She exhaled deeply. "Where are you, guys?"

"Doors frozen shut. We'll find another way out." Trip called after a moment.

"Bus will land. We can start loading up once we do." Coulson called after a moment, his voice hard.

Skye nodded, "Copy that." She straighten up and began to dismantle the rifle back into the bag and headed slowly down towards Gill, keeping her ICER in hand ready before she nudged him with her foot, making sure to be ready to move back but he stayed there, limp. She crouched down next, pulling him over to see he was clearly unconscious now, the blue veins over his face a clear sign the dendrotoxin was still in-effect. Her eyes flickered to his wounds, pulling out the detachable strap from her bag and used it to wrap around the top of his arm to slow the bleeding; his leg didn't look too bad.

Skye's head rose though as she saw movement in the corner of her eyes, relaxing to see the Bus's cargo door open then a group of agents head out. A couple with a gurney and a med kit. But her eyes went straight to the one in a suit.

Coulson.

She sighed deeply.

"Fitz, go and help Mack with the containment room." Chen ordered softly. "See you all back at base." The comm line closing.

Chen sighed deeply, placing the tablet down onto Coulson's desk. Feeling somewhat conflicted between pleased and worried. Pleased that Gill was alive and they had him along with everything on that boat but worried on Coulson. She was well aware she had hit below the belt but she had every reason to try and save Gill; SHIELD should be better than Hydra. Not sink to that level without considering the other alternatives.

Gill was still just a kid. He deserved another chance.

Chen's mind flickered back to the little girl in Bahrain. This picture feeling uncomfortably close but the difference between it was clear. The child had powers and was consumed by it; not understanding it. Gill wasn't. He had control and understood his powers. He was following orders on the account of the brainwashing. It'd take time, of course, to clear his head but they had the people to help.

After a moment, Chen moved, heading out the office and down towards the labs, her attention flickering to Fitz talking to a group of agents, no doubt engineers and talking them through the schematics of what looked like a containment box but she didn't stay for details, carrying down the corridor but did stop as a series of agents with wheelbarrows full of bricks and tools pass.

"Agent Chen." Mack's voice called. Her head tilting to see him striding towards her, his arms full though held the tablet out. "We're going to need the wall panelling to be imported in as well as furniture and other materials, do you think you could authorise the tab for it." He asked.

Chen nodded after a moment, taking the tablet. "You've been busy… didn't expect this so soon."

"Quite a few agents have free time; not hard to rope them into it as extra hands to get stuff." Mack shrugged. "When Skye gets back, she can help start her input into it's security; we're just building the room."

"Where'd you find the space for it?" Chen looked down towards the corridor.

"A few unused offices, storage cupboards…. This area is primarily under the hanger, so I could be possible to have a room or two directly accessed to the hanger or vice versa. The Containment module is still in its design stage but it won't be hard to erect that with the materials we have in stock. I've designed it so it could be lowered or ascended into or from the hander for transports or containment."

Chen's eyebrow rose. "Sounds like a really good idea…. Stops the possibly of escape once in the base. Plus, each room can be customised with the walls though… white?" He head titling as she examined the colour option he had chosen.

"Neutral colour. Won't feel like a prison… a kill room. Black or grey does have that effects. Especially long term."

Chen snorted. "Fair enough." She sighed the on screen form and held it back to him. "Send a copy of the invoice to me. I want to keep track of finances. Also the schematics of the Containment room. I want to see what's to be built."

"Yes, Ma'am." Mack nodded then headed away.

Feeling a little more satisfied, Chen turned and headed towards the hanger; no time like the presence to face Coulson's anger.

Chen didn't have to wait as long as she thought to see the Bus make it's decent down and the slow motion of the cargo door opening up; displaing a tightly cramped space filled with boxes and boxes of Hydra's goods.

Her eyes following the few agents that began to unload it into the hanger then Skye as she too exited.

"You okay?" Chen asked.

Skye looked to her for a moment then nodded. "Thank you."

Chen nodded, offering her a smile and touched her arm. "I'm glad you took the better option. I know you would have done what he said too but…"

"We're not hydra." Skye finished for her, her eyes flickering down to her hands, though gloved, her fingers weren't and covered in blood.

"Go wash up. We can have a short round with the rifle again in the armoury once me and Coulson have a talk."

Skye's lip twitched, "Good luck with that."

Chen automatically shifted from Skye's attempt to pat her shoulder as she walked past but her eyes lingered to Coulson as he strode out.

"My office." He demanded as he walked past her though she trailed back a few meters as she followed him.

As soon as she shut the door he spoke.

"What the hell was that all about, Chen?" Coulson demanded, his arms folded over his chest. "You not only had Skye defy my orders, but you brought her up?"

Chen stayed in a firm stance, her hands folded behind her back. "Donny Gill is 19 years old, mentally damaged and while a threat, he didn't deserve to be shot through the chest on the account of Hydra's meddling."

"That's not your call, Emily." Coulson snapped. "You could have compromised the mission in a way that Hydra could have still dragged him away, Trip and Hunter could have been killed and you put Skye in danger!"

"But they didn't. We have Gill, Just as you wanted. Taking him out shouldn't be on the table like that. Telling Skye to murder someone…" Chen shook her head. "She may be the one pulling the trigger, but it's still on you for ordering it. We have Gill, we can help him and when he can and wants to help us, we have a gifted willing to fight with his own free will for us."

"You have no right to call me out. Certainly not in front of everyone and certainly not with pulling up one of the worst mistakes I've ever done."

"We're not Hydra, Phil." Chen started, her tone hardening. "If we killed him, then we're no better. If we did, we'd no have reason to use the rooms we're building. Do you really think Skye wants his death on her conscious? Yes, it's a policy but she found a work around to make Hydra think he's dead."

"We got lucky this time. But if you think I'm going to risk it the next…" Coulson stopped, shaking his head.

"Director Coulson," Chen sighed, to let go of the bubbling emotions of frustration; now wasn't the time for that; it could make it worse. "I am sorry for compromising the mission and bringing up the late Agent May. I am aware its relevance was scares and it's deeply personal to you." She moved a step closer "Now, we have to think about Gill, now that we have him and Hydra doesn't. You will need to help him now to clear the mess left behind. Doctor Garner could be an ideal candidate to assess him and diverse a way to work with him. I know you trust him and as his patient, I find him to be extremely helpful."

Coulson stayed stiff and the look on his face did soften before he moved his way to the window and stared out of it.

"I won't deny that you have a point, Agent Chen. Don't ever pull that again." His tone hard and final; the order clear as crystal.

"Yes, Sir." She responded back.
