Chapter 32 B
Melinda May's Point of View
After I told Coulson if anything happened to Skye it was on him, he simply glared at me not amused. "May she will be fine, you need to have faith in her. You cant be there 24/7 to watch her." he replied. After that he walked ahead as I caught a last glimpse at Skye turning the corner. I felt sick as I watched her go, last time she had gone off she had got shot in the gut and this was a more dangerous situation.
Nevertheless I had no choice but to let her go and put my faith in Ward to look out for her. As I caught up to the others I heard them say we were looking for Jemma and Tripp. They had come up with a plan, Garrett would pretend he had arrested both myself and Coulson. It seemed like a solid idea little did I know how wrong I was.
As we approached one of the security doors, they were slowly opened. Once inside Garrett started to give a speech about how he had captured us and how he had shot me. He got close enough to one of the guards and took him out this gave us the opportunity to use our icers on the remaining guards. Once they were all knocked out Fitz jumped into action and started looking for Simmons on the cameras.
I went over to join him, as I watched I caught sign of Agent Hand. "There Agent Hand outside the East Wing Situation Room." I told the others. "This is definetly a situation!" Garrett commented. "Is Simmons there, we don't move until we find Simmons!" Fitz said. "I will say it again best way to save her, use the ventilation system. We get above the sit room use Fitz sweet little devices and put two pullets threw Victoria Hand's heart!" Garrett said. "Well that is an option Sir" Fitz replied sounding nervous.
"Without questioning?" Coulson asked. "What whether she wants to kill us fast or slow?" Garrett shot back. "Garrett last time we did that we killed the wrong man." Coulson explained. "Yes because she wanted us too. She pushed all the right buttons to annoy Agent May!" Garrett replied. "Phil this is a batte for S.H.I.E.L.D.S soul and we are on the front line. History will remember us this day!" Garrett added.
"That's right it is for S.H.I.E.L.D.S soul and murder without considerations is—" Coulson started to say but he was cut off by Garrett. "CONSIDERATION? Consider this, she had one of my men killed by a bomb rigged to his gas pedal. The other two were floating in the hotel pool and they weren't doing the backstroke!" Garrett hissed.
"We could just as easily ice her" I replied shocked by his methods. "You don't put someone like her on ice, she had Skye shot in the stomach because she was CURIOUS. Mike Peterson was burned alive and turned into some kind of freak. She tortured you using that same machine she used to brainwash that bitch in the floor dress and right now she is probably doing the same to Agent Simmons." He said in response. I didn't hear the rest however I was looking at Coulson.
His expression was both of shock and realization. I continued to stare and him waiting to hear what he had figured out. "I never mention that" he said just above a whisper. "I never said Raina had been inside the machine." Coulson said a little louder. I knew then what he was getting at, and it all clicked into place.
Garrett was the one who had my daughter shot! Anger burned inside me as I turned to glare at him. "I must have read it in a report then" Garrett said answering Coulsons statement. "You weren't with us." I hissed. "The point is how many people have to suffer before Vic gets hers!" Garrett said ignoring Coulson. "You showed up right after" Coulson continued. "What are you driving at?" Garrett asked impatiently. "After Skye was shot Quinn said it was so I would lead the clairvoyant to the cure! That's exactly what I did I walked you right in there with me." Coulson told him. The anger was at boiling point now in my stomach. I wanted to kill the bastard, but I forced myself to remain in control.
Garrett started to lose his cool then sensing he was caught, "Phil look its been a long day, I get it but you need to take a second and" he stopped there and took at deep breath before continuing, "Dammit" he whispered. Just as he said that the doors burst open and in came a strike team. "Easy fellas" Garrett said.
"TAKE AGENT GARRETT INTO CUSTODY. HE IS THE MURDERED THEY CALL THE CLAIRVOYANT!" Coulson yelled. Unfortunately Garrett had men in the team and when he gave his orders they shot the ones who were not. "Hail Hydra" he declared when they obeyed his command.
After that he removed our icers. "Guess the three men in your unit asked the wrong questions" Coulson remarked as Garrett paced in front of us. "Until today it was all about keeping the secret" Garrett responded. "Are you going to kill us?" Fitz asked in a scared voice. "That wasn't my plan really if it was I could have done that anytime I wanted. " he explained. I zoned out after that I was too concerned about Ward and Skye who had still not returned.
Garrett must have noticed I was worrying. "Don't worry Agent May my men will find her soon enough" he mocked. "If they touch her, I will kill them all including you!" I hissed. "Tough words from a dead woman!" he replied. "Alright let them have it, but shot that one in the kneecaps!" Garrett said pointing at Fitz who was crying.
Thankfully at that point Skye made he whereabouts known and there was an explosion that knocked the power out. This gave us the perfect opportunity to take out at least some of Garrett's men. A battle broke, out and Coulson and myself battled our way threw the team. Coulson took on Garrett while I took out the rest of the team with ease. Even Fitz chipped in when he shot a guard I hadn't seen sneak up behind me. He even threw Coulson the gun that he used to ice Garrett. Whenever the fighting was over Agent Hand burst onto the scene with a group of men.
"We are not Hydra!" Coulson said as she walked in. "We know we heard everything" she replied. "Who is how deep does it go?" I asked. When she didn't respond I knew it was bad. "We will discuss this later right now we need to get Garrett locked up." She finally answered. After that he was handcuffed and marched away with us slowly following.
As we stood and watched him be led away I saw Skye and Ward appear. Ward looked shocked to see Garrett being led away so Coulson took him aside to explain, whereas Skye came to me. "Mom what happened, why is Garrett getting arrested?" she asked. I turned and looked at her, "He was Hyrda honey he had us all fooled." I replied.
She looked at me shocked so I simply put her arms around her. As I did this however she winced in pain. "What's wrong?" I asked inspecting her. I noticed she was clutching her arm. "I dislocated my shoulder, its nothing don't worry about it," she said biting her lip, clearly trying to stop from screaming in pain. "How did you mange to do that?" I asked concerned. "The explosion blasted me back, honestly mom its fine!" she tried to reassure me. "Besides you got shot in the arm, that's worse!" she added. I looked at her unconvinced but didn't argue ti wasn't worth it.
After that she went to talk to Jemma who thankfully had returned to us safely. The next thing I heard was, "Agent May we are going to head back to the BUS, assess the damage and take a look at Skye's arm!" Simmons said. I nodded and said, "Sounds like a good idea I'm coming with you though!" As we headed back to the BUS we could see that the damage was pretty extensive.
Everything was damaged but Jemma managed to get the X-ray machine up and running so she could use it on Skye. I watched from outside as Jemma took the x-ray once she was done I re-entered the room. "So it was worse than you pretended?" I asked. "Only a little worse, it's just a broken arm I will live. Not like I haven't had one before!" Skye replied annoyed at my concern. "Why what else have you broken?" I asked interested. "Um about 6 fingers, leg, other arm and toe!" she laughed.
"Careless kid?" I asked praying that was what it was and nothing else. "Most of them were my own fault yeah." She laughed in response. "What about the ones that weren't your fault?" I asked concerned. She didn't answer at first so I said, "Skye?" trying to press the matter. "It's nothing just a crappy foster home and a crappy boyfriend. It was years ago totally not important." She replied. I could tell Jemma was growing uncomfortable as she placed the mold of the cast onto Skye's arm. "I'm going to let that set for a minute be right back!" she said racing from the room.
"Skye what happened at the crappy foster home?" I asked desperate to get a real answer. "You really want to know?" she asked.
I nodded so Skye launched into her answer "The dad didn't really like me, he just wanted the money. He had a drink problem and would always beat up my foster mom. One day he took it to far and he shot her. I was sitting on the stairs and saw the whole thing. I tried to sneak out before he saw or heard me, but the stairs creaked and he came after me. He tried to grab me but I manage to shake him off. That was until he got upstairs and then I couldn't fight him off. He threw me down the stairs, hence the broken leg. The only reason he didn't shoot me was because he thought I died from the fall." I felt tears in my eyes the minute she had started the story. My little girl had suffered and I wasn't there to save her!
"Why didn't you tell me that before?" I cried. She looked at me and said, "Because I didn't want to upset you mom. It wasn't your fault I ended up living there so what was the point of hurting you?" I looked at her and said, "How old where you?" Skye looked at me confused and said, "8 why?" This sent me into floods of tears, "So by 8 years old your childhood was ruined?" I cried. Skye reached over and grabbed my hand with her good arm, "No god no, I have some really happy memories as a kid." She reassured me.
This cheered me up a little but not a lot as I asked, "What happened to him?" Skye looked at me with her big eyes and said, "He was arrested I think. I'm not really sure after it happened I was whisked across country out of his grasp."
"I hope the bastard is rotting in hell!" I replied. Jemma came back in after that and we never got to the boyfriend story but I wasn't going to let the matter drop. Skye would tell me that story eventually.
Once Skye's cast was set we left the lab and went to take a look at the BUS. As we sat and waited for Coulson and Ward Skye took out her badge and looked at it, "It's all gone." she remarked. "In pieces at least." Jemma added. Coulson joined us at that. "Skye try and restore some of the firm ware on the planes systems, Fitzsimmons get a crew together help May patch the holes." He instructed us. Skye nodded and said, "No problem AC, quick question where is Ward?" Coulson looked at her and said, "Agent Ward wanted to make sure Garrett got locked up nice and secure, he will be back with us soon I hope." After that Skye left and went to repair some of the damage leaving me alone with Coulson.
"So you still want me on the BUS?" I asked shocked. "Your not a friend but I think you are an ally and we need as many of them as we can get!" Coulson said to me as he walked away. His words hurt me, I had lost his trust. I needed to earn it back and prove to him I was only looking out for him. "What are we planning on doing next?" I called after him. "surviving," he muttered.
Ok so that was 32B as I say it wasn't planned lol Apologies for any spelling/grammar errors I literally just wrote it so I might have missed some things in proof reading :-( The next chapter will take place right after Coulson gave Skye her orders. It will be her point of view. I hope it isn's to confusing. If it is let me know and I will try and sort it :-) Until next time ;-)
