A/N: Because it's getting a bit confusing, here's a basic summary of the last few chapters: Daisy has spent her time in S.H.I.E.L.D building her relationship with the team, including May and Coulson. In the last chapter, Daisy went on a mission with Fitz, Jemma, May and Trip to hack in Laura Station to find the Kree Temple however, they were ambushed by HYDRA agents. The person leading the HYDRA ambush is Calvin Zabo, a man who claims to be Daisy's father and knows about the experiments that Daisy was a part of…

Now…

Chapter 21

Skye had assumed that she would go home with her father and start living with him. God, she was stupid. Instead, he changed her name to Skye and left her at a facility named HYDRA. He told her to never speak of his name and never to tell anyone about his existence.

"Skye" Skye was standing in line with a few other people who were either as old as her, or were way older. She looked up when her name was called and step forward, "You are assigned to Anton Ivonoff"

"I get assigned to this little bitch?". Skye shot him a defiant look but didn't say anything when the Russian man walked over to her and inspected her height.

From the day that Ivanoff was assigned to be her S.O, Skye was forced to undergo training that no man could survive. She had to not only learn self-defence by actually fighting and figuring it out for herself, but she also got stabbed a few times because her S.O enjoyed using knives a little too much.

"Get up!" Ivanoff shouted as Skye clutched her stomach from being kicked. He looked at the weak little girl in front of him and spat on her, "You will die by the end of the month" That was the last thing he said before kicking her in the face, causing her to black out.

However, despite his words, Skye managed to not only survived a month, but she also climbed the ranks by killing her opponents during the tests. Every division had weekly tests where they would have to go up against someone else from their division and kill their opponent for survival.

During their training, Ivanoff got more harsher and Skye ended up with more injuries than she had the month before. Months turned into years and now Skye was known to be one of the most ruthless assassins in HYDRA. Ivanoff not only taught her how to use knives due to her small figure but he also taught her to use her speed to her advantage.

Ivanoff had to admit, he was growing fond of Skye. He initially thought that she would die in the first trial but she managed to survive. She not only survived, but she also was the youngest person to complete a mission at the age of 12. He was proud of what he had done as her S.O.

He had created the perfect killing machine.

"Number 804 vs Number 345"

Skye's lifeless eyes shot open when her number was called. She stood up with a straight back and walked into the arena with her weapon of choice in her hands. Her eyes scanned the target in front of her, he was 180 cm and visibly more buff that she ever could be. The muscles on the older man would make him slower, so she will use her speed to her advantage.

"Bitch, I've been wanting to fight you for a long time"

Skye tilted her head to the side as she waited for the cue to start the fight. She didn't understand why this man was attempting to taunt her when he was going to die in a few minutes by her hands.

"Heard that a mere 15 year old took out my brother. God, if that little shit was taken out by you, than I'm glad his dead"

Why did this guy talk so much? Maybe she should make him stop talking by cutting his tongue out? That seemed plausible. It was better than listening to him talk nonsense.

"You may commence with training"

Skye's ears perked up at the sound of the bell ringing, indicating that she could kill this man. She watched as the man tightened his fingers around the golden knuckle buster. She internally rolled her eyes at how pathetic this man was.

His first mistake was charge straight at her with no formation or defence. Skye easily bent her right knee, allowing her to swiftly dodge the punch and cut the man's stomach. It wasn't deep enough to kill him, but it was enough to make him groan in pain.

"You bitch" he growled as he touched the blood on his stomach. The bored expression on Skye's face only enraged him even more.

His second mistake was letting his emotions drive him. He stomped towards her again but his stomach was left wide open, so Skye kicked a powerful push kick that forced the man to stumble back. When he got off balance, Skye threw a knife into the air, caught it and then threw it straight between the man's eyes.

Skye watched as the man's now lifeless body collapsed with blood pouring out of his head. Skye turned her head to look at the scientist and her father who were watching her from the glass box above. There was one rule that her father implanted into her head; no matter what, she should never mention that he was her biological father. She made everyone think that she was an orphan.

"I think she's ready. She's one of the best assassins of her division"

Calvin smirked as he watched his daughter unwrap the bandages from her arms and dropped it on top of her dead opponent, "I know… prepare the CRISPER"

Skye wasn't sure what they were talking about but she didn't care. She walked over to the door and pressed the red button, allowing her to exit the room. She made her way to the cafeteria where she spotted her friends. She grabbed an apple that was provided for lunch and made her way to the table where her friends were.

"Chica, you finished training already?" Yo-Yo was the fastest agent here, hence her nickname. She held the record for the fastest killing in HYDRA history. She killed over 6 people in 2 minutes.

"The guy was a complete amateur" Skye said as she sat next to Katya who was only 8 years. She broke the apple in half and gave one to Katya, "Eat up"

Katya gently shook her head and mumbled, "I'm full"

Skye sighed when she heard the weakness in Katya's voice. The youngest girl was malnourished due to the limited food that the facility provided to them. On cue, the little girl's stomach rumbled which caused both Skye and Yo-Yo to laugh, "Your stomach says otherwise"

"How about you?" Katya asked as she eyed the apple. Skye could tell that the girl was already salivating at the sight of the juicy apple.

"They gave me something before my training" Skye lied, she looked at Yo-Yo who was eyeing her because she also knew it was a lie, but she didn't say anything.

"You can eat half of mine" Skye turned her head to see Lincoln walking over to them with a halved apple. He placed the apple in front of Skye.

"You guys are making me look like an asshole" Yo-Yo said as she ate all of her apple before anyone came. Both Lincoln and Skye smiled.

Skye bit into her own apple and passed the other half to Yo-Yo, "You have another session in 20 minutes"

Yo-Yo felt guilty for taking Skye's apple, especially since she was older and should be taking care of her but Skye had been here longer than her which gave the girl a sense of seniority over her.

"I'm feeling a little left out" Ward said as he came to sit on the table next to Yo-Yo.

The four of them began talking amongst themselves while Katya excitedly added her childish thoughts into the conversation. They were definitely an odd and dysfunctional group. One minute they will be in the training room, and the next they would casually share tips on how to be more efficient. They all trained together too. Yo-Yo helped Daisy with her reflexes while Ward taught her how to take a strong punch. Lincoln would teach them basic first aid and Daisy taught them to never let their guard down as she always got back up and threw the final strike.

Everyone in the cafeteria suddenly went quiet when they heard the sound of hissing… it was almost like gas was leaking into the room.

"What's that sound?" Another inhuman asked as he stood up from the table and looked around. Everyone began looking for the sound of the gas but before they could spot it, a flashback was thrown into the room, blinding everyone in the room.

"Katya!" Skye grabbed the little girl and Katya behind her body protectively. She didn't know what was happening but she could tell that this wasn't a training drill. Skye began to hear bodies dropping, she turned around, trying to find the person tranquilizing them but there was too much smoke now. The last thing she saw before she got shot with a dart, was Yo-Yo, Ward and Lincoln collapsing.


"Chica...Chica! Wake up!"

Skye slowly regained her consciousness when she felt small hands shaking her shoulders. When she remembered what happened in the cafeteria, she suddenly shot up and looked around the caged chamber.

"Skye!" Katya was now tightly clingly onto her stomach as she sobbed into her shirt, "I thought you were dead"

Skye looked at Yo-Yo but the older Columbian women looked just as confused as she did, "Can't get rid of me this easily" she muttered as she gently pushed Katya off of her so she could stand up. Katya continued to cling onto her leg but she didn't really mind, she was used to the younger girl being clingy.

"Where the hell are we?" One of the men that Skye was trapped with shouted.

"Fuck, they're going to kill us all" Another one muttered pessimistically.

"Come on, have some faith"

"Oh shut the fuck up"

Before they knew it, everyone began bickering in the chamber except for Yo-Yo and Skye. Instead, Skye was worried about Lincoln and Ward, "Any signs of the boys?"

Yo-Yo shook her head, "They're probably in another chamber"

Skye rubbed her forehead tiredly, this was a new situation. She looked around the room and found that they were literally trapped in concrete. There was only a door but it was made out of metal so it would be impossible to break out of unless she wanted to break her shoulder.

Everyone suddenly went quiet when blue gas began seeping from the floor, "What the hell is this?" Yo-Yo muttered.

Not even a few seconds later, everyone around Skye began to turn into a rock, "Yo-Yo? Yo-yo!" she shouted as she tried to find a way to stop the rock from consuming Yo-Yo but it was too late.

"S-Skye… I feel weird"

Skye looked down at Katya who petite hands were being casted with rocks and it was rapidly spreading, "Katya!" she grabbed hold of the younger girl's shoulders but it was too late, the younger girl was completely embodied by the rocks.

She could fill the tears in her eyes begin to well up as her brain couldn't comprehend what was happening. She looked around the room and saw that everyone was turned into stone. Wh-What… What was happening?

Skye suddenly collapsed on her knees as she felt the insides of her body burn. The last thing she saw before succumbing to the darkness, was the terrified face of her friends that were casted with stone.


The next time Skye woke up, she found herself sharing a room with someone who claims to be an inhuman, Jiaying. The older women who looked like she was in the 30's, claimed to be much older and wiser. Eventually, Skye began to see Jiyaang as a mother figure as she spent the next 2 years sharing a room with her, and being experimented on by scientists. She remembered being awake when they cut her open or prodded her body with needles, she had begged them to stop and just let her die but no-one listened to her… no-one heard her screams.

The first time she had died was on the operating table where they attempted to inject her with a liquified version of the gas that turned her friend's into stone. However…

Skye's shot open and she suddenly gasped awake with a pounding headache. She gripped onto her head as she sat up from the bloodied concrete and tried to observe her surroundings… this wasn't the lab… and she was no longer laying on the table but in her room.

"Shhhh, it's going to be okay"

An overpowering feeling of nausea washed over her all of a sudden, forcing Skye to jolt up from the cold concrete and scrambled to the toilet seat where she poured out the contents from her stomach. Skye could barely feel the person rubbing her back as her body tried to get rid of the poisonous substance that was injected into her body.

After what felt like hours but what was actually only a couple of minutes, she could no longer throw anything up. Her throat was burning from the acid and her lips were bleeding from dryness. She could tell that hot tears were running down her face but she couldn't care right now

"Deep breaths Skye", the soft and gentle voice helped her take in deep breaths. Skye turned her head to see Jiayang offering her a cup of water. Jiayang gently pressed the plastic cup against Skye's lips and poured it down Skye's throat. Skye welcomed the cool water that soothed her burning throat, "What did they do to you?"

Skye tried to string a sentence together but she felt weak. Something was inside her body and her immune system was trying to purge it out of her.

Jiayang saw the youngest struggling to speak, "Shhhhh… it's okay". Jiayang was trying not to cry as she watched her youngest child gasping in pain. "Something's wrong" she whispered to herself. She had seen everyone go through terrigenesis but no-one has had this kind of reaction before.

"Jiayang" Skye breathed out as she tried to sit up on her own, "I… I think I died"

Jiayang's eyes widened at that, terrigenesis didn't kill you, it turned you into an inhuman, "No… Skye, that's impossible" she whispered as tears ran down her face.

Skye shook her head, she remembered being dead.. Don't ask how she knew that she was dead because she just knew it, "I died… I-I shouldn't… "

Jiayang continued to rub Skye's back as the little girl tried to form a comprehensive sentence, "No Skye… I think they put you through terrigensis"

Skye blinked her tears away and shook her head. She didn't know what the hell that was, but it didn't sound or feel good.

"N-No… they put something in me… and I died… I know I died" Skye stumbled on her words due to the disorientation and her attempt to make sense of everything. She gripped her head in pain and tried to take deep breaths but everything was hurting. Skye was certain she had died because she saw herself in hell.

"Skye… I need you take deep breaths" Jiayang wished that she had the ability to take away the pain. If she had Katya's powers than she would be able to control it and use it to ease Skye's pain.

"I c-can't" Skye clutched her chest as she tried to breathe. She screamed at herself to breathe but nothing was working… why couldn't she breathe? It was an easy job, it was bloody human nature yet she couldn't even do that.

"Skye, you're having a panic attack"

No, this wasn't a panic attack. Skye knew what a panic attack feels like and it wasn't this. This… this felt like her heart was on the verge of beating out of her chest.

"Jesus Skye, you're burning" Jiayang gently leaned Skye against the wall and got a towel and made it wet with cold water. She knelt down beside Skye and put it on her forehead.

The girl wasn't getting any better and she was afraid that Skye was going to develop pneumonia or maybe she has an infection. She turned her head to look at the guards outside and contemplated on calling them out for help. Skye saw Jiayang turn her head towards the cell door and shook her head, "P-please don't"

Her pleadings eyes and weak voice that were filled with pain stopped Jiayang from acting on her intuition. She knew that if she made a ruckus, then they will send her back to the lab.

"Okay" Jiayang gently picked Skye up and put her on the mattress. She put the blanket over the shivering girl who was now feeling cold and began wiping the sweat off of Skye's forehead, "You'll be okay, I won't let anything happen to you"


Things from then on slightly changed for the better and for the worse. For one, Skye was being injected with this substance every week and had died a few more times before her body began to adapt and withstand the substance being injected into her bloodstream. But on the birght side, she was building an immunity to it.

Everything changed the day she finally got her powers.

During the 2 years that they had been stuck in here, the lead scientist, whomever that may be, gave them an upgraded room for their 'corporation'. There was a small bathroom, a bunk bed and a small training area for Skye to practice her skills. Honestly, if Skye wasn't being used as a blood lab rat, then she wouldn't mind being stuck in the room. Apart from recovering from the messed up experiments that they had performed on her, she spent the majority of her time in the training room.

Skye was throwing strikes at the boxing bag, trying to get back to her old strength but she felt like she was growing weaker and weaker the more time she spent here. At this point, she wouldn't mind dying on the operating table… well permanently. Being resurrected was one of the most painful experiences that someone can go through.

Skye heard the cage door opening, indicating that the guards were here for her. Jiaying looked up from her book and stood up from the chair. She hated seeing Skye going with these men. After 2 years of the same routine, Skye gave up on fighting the guards. It was just a waste of energy at this point.

Jiaying walked over to Skye and cupped the younger girl's cheeks, "Stay strong"

Jiaying was the only reason why Skye hasn't lost her mind yet. If she was alone in here, she was pretty sure that the isolation would drive her mad and cold. Jiaying planted a kiss on Skye's forehead and watched Skye walk with the guards to the laboratory.

One of the guards stabbed a needle in Skye's neck, rendering her unconscious. When Skye regained her consciousness, she found herself lying on the operating table which wasn't a surprise. However, there was one thing that was different. As her vision cleared and her eyes focused, she saw a man standing next to her… a man that she recognised. Confusion swelled in her heart as she looked at the man, "D-Dad?"

Skye didn't know what came over her, but she felt the urge to cry. Her father who she hasn't seen in god knows how long, was here. The confusion was soon replaced by hope. Hope that her father was here to save her but something about him was off… he had a crazy look in his eyes.

"W-What are you doing here?"

Calvin brushed the involuntary tears from his daughter's eyes and whispered, "I've always been here with you"

Skye looked at him with confusion, she then noticed his attire and the blue gloves that were stained blood… her blood. Realisation hit her like a truck, this entire time her father had been the voice that she heard in her nightmares. Her eyes widened with fear, anger and betrayal, "Y-You did this… wh-why?" she stuttered as her dry throat felt like it was closing up.

"I'm giving you a chance to be amazing" Calvin sadistically smiled, "After all these years… we finally perfected liquidating the terrigenesis gas"

Skye shook her head as hot tears ran down her face. She couldn't believe that Calvin, her own father had subjected her to this kind of treatment. Skye could hear the machine monitoring her heartbeat beep like crazy when fear began settling, "D-Don't do this" she whimpered pathetically as she watched Calvin pick up a massive needles that was filled with blue liquid. When she felt Calvin swapping an area on her forearm with alcohol, she knew that he wasn't going to listen to her, "I...I will kill you"

Calvin gave her a sad smile, "No sweetie… you won't even remember me"

Those were his last words before he injected the needle into her arm. The blue liquid began flowing through her veins and all the scientist could visibly see liquid coursing throughout her body.


Calvin watched as Daisy's heart beat remained steady, it has been several hours since his daughter remained unconscious and underwater but it was part of the process. The process was 89% complete. He started humming a tune inside of his head as he put the tablet down and walked into the next room where Lincoln was hooked up to a machine that was pumping a drug that could subdue him.

He picked up a needle and walked over to Lincoln's unconscious body, "You are going to be my little puppet", he injected the needled into his arm and a wicked smile appeared on his face.


No-one could believe what Jemma had just revealed to them. Daisy.. The person who has been helping them since the day they met, could be the secret weapon that could bring chaos and destruction.

"It makes sense" Fitz muttered, gathering everyone's attention onto him. He saw Jemma give him a look of disappointment but he shook his head, he didn't mean it like that, "Think about it. The seismometer that I built didn't detect any incoming earthquake within the area of cargo ship. I initially thought that it was just my brain… but what if it wasn't… what if it was Daisy?"

May remembered the feeling of the cargo ship shaking, it was almost like there was an earthquake on the cargo ship which was impossible.

"Bobbi also mentioned that she felt like the ground was shaking beneath her when Daisy trapped her in the truck. Daisy claimed that she planted a bomb but if that was the case, Bobbi would have recognised the sound of an explosion"

Oh god, there were too many coincidences that suggested Daisy was the secret weapon. Jemma was hoping that she was wrong, she was hoping that the chances of Daisy being an enhanced was slim because that way, they could cross Daisy out as a traitor, "But in all those instances, she used her abilities to help us, not destroy us"

"I'm not saying she's a traitor… she's not like Ward who knew what he was doing" Fitz wanted to believe that, he wanted to believe that Daisy was good. Maybe it was because of his own selfishness of not wanting to be betrayed again.

"The Destroyer of Worlds Program.. sounds ominous, doesn't it?" Coulson was like Jemma, he didn't want Daisy to turn out to be HYDRA's puppet.

"What do we do? If Calvin is the one who initiated the program, then he's probably the person who brainwashed her" May stated as she began thinking about this situation logically.

"The fear and anxiety that you guys saw in her eyes could be her subconscious response to her seeing a face that performed the brainwashing on her", Jemma stated out loud. This entire situation was giving her a headache, she wondered how Daisy would feel if she knew that she was brainwashed.

"So we're concluding that Daisy is a threat" May didn't say it like a question, it was more like a statement.

"Not a threat" Coulson didn't think that Daisy was a threat, not unless she was provoked. If they went to her with guns blazing, then she would feel threatened and might retaliate against them. Right now, they had her trust and he wasn't willing to break it over the fact that Daisy might be the secret weapon, "We treat her like a member of our team"

Jemma sighed in relief, she was glad that Coulson was the type of man who only saw red when being given such information. She knew that she could trust Coulson with any kind of information and the way he was handling the Daisy situation was reinforcing her belief in him.

"Okay, but what do we tell the others? Mack and Morse are already sceptical. Trip will trust your judgment and Hunter just goes along with the crowd" May stated, she agreed with Coulson's decision about how to handle Daisy. She knew that if Coulson had asked them to treat Daisy like a hostile, then she would follow his orders and treat Daisy like a hostile… but if he have her that order, she would be going against her own morals.

"We need to tell them" Fitz hated secrets. The reason that the HYDRA takeover was so sudden and unexpected was because of all the secrets that Nick Fury had. Fitz didn't like the way that Fury tried to hide everything from them, it was one of the reasons why he respected Coulson who tried his best to tell them everything.

"Fitz, you heard the way that Mack was speaking about Daisy. If he finds out that Daisy is a secret weapon then it'll only fuel his paranoia" Jemma didn't trust Mack

"It's not paranoia if it's true" Fitz replied. He saw that Jemma still didn't like the idea but she, just like him, knew how dangerous secrets ar.

"Fitz is right" Coulson didn't trust Mack or Bobbi, hell, he didn't even trust Hunter that much but they were a part of his team. He knew that they were going to find out sooner or later and if they find out that they all knew, than they will be even more pissed, "When they come back from their mission we will brief them on everything. Right now, if Daisy is in the hands of HYDRA then she could be subjected to brainwashing and be used to turn against us. FitzSimmons, since you guys are on speaking terms again, I want you guys to work together to create something that can block Daisy's powers. I know it is going to be hard for you because you can't study her biological structure but we know that she can create earthquakes"

"If she can create earthquakes then she probably has the ability to control vibrational frequencies or something like that" Jemma stated.

"Right, and we can probably create a device that absorbs the vibration"

Jemma and Fitz nodded their heads at each other and made their way to the lab.

May turned to look at Coulson who looked just as she felt, confused and guilty.

"She's just a kid" Coulson hated the thought of someone as young as Daisy being used as a weapon for HYDRA.

"I know" May immediately thought of the little girl in Bahrain when Jemma announced that Daisy was the 804 created by Calvin, "She doesn't deserve this"

"No she doesn't", Coulson couldn't believe that Calvin had used his own daughter to be a weapon for a terrorist organisation. He could only imagine the experiments and torture that Daisy had to go through inorder to become the person that she was today, "I want to save her May"

May picked up the pain in his voice. That was the thing about Phil Coulson, he would always bear the burden of saving everyone even if it was impossible. Yet again, Coulson was the impossible, however, May was more rational. Someone had to be the rationalist in this partnership, "And what if we can't"

"I don't believe we can't" Coulson wasn't going to give up on Daisy. Not now, not ever.

May smirked when she saw the determination in Coulson's eyes. She hasn't seen this kind of determination in him a while.


"Skye...Skye wake up"

Skye let out a soft groan as she felt her entire body ache. She slowly began to open her eyes but she needed to blink a few times so she could focus on her surroundings. The first fast that she saw was Jiaying's terrified and tearful face looming over her, "Jiaying… what happened?"

Jiaying helped Skye sit up from the operating table. Skye scanned her surroundings and saw nothing but destruction. Tables were flipped over, the lights were broken and sparking with electricity, there were unconscious bodies all over the place but more importantly, she was free from restraints.

"You happened sweetie"

Skye looked a Jiyang with confusion, she then looked down at her arm and winced when she poked it. It felt like 1000 bees were stinging the inside of her skin, "I… I don't understand" she muttered with fear in her eyes as she looked around her and saw nothing but destruction. Jiaying hated seeing the fear in Skye's eyes so she pulled Skye close to her and gave her an embrace.

Skye was taken aback by the sudden embrace but she found herself melting into Jiaying's arms. She closed her eyes and sucked in a shaky breath as she breathed the women's scent. Skye began to realise that she needed to get out of here. She pulled out of the hug and looked at Jiaying, "We need to get out of here"

Jiaying nodded her head and followed Skye who bent down and looted the guy's keys. The scientist didn't have any weapons other than scalpel, so she picked up the scalpel and hoped that she wasn't too rusty.

She wasn't just stuck in the room for 2 years, she was also allowed to train. However it's been a while since she actually fought another person.

When she stepped out of the room and into the hallway, the sound of the red alarm was getting louder. She was going to assume that the sound of the alarm was going to be the way out so she and Jiaying ran up a flight of stairs.

When they reached the top, Skye saw several men with guns running towards them.

"Use your powers"

Skye looked at Jiaying like she was crazy, "My what?"

"Trust me" Jiaying grabbed Skye's arm and aimed it at the men, "Now breathe in…. And breathe out"

Skye followed Jiaying's instruction and suddenly felt something build up in her palm… it felt like vibrational energy. She suddenly released it on the men but instantly felt her arms ache from the use of her powers. She ignored the pain and the fact that she now had powers, and continued to run to the door. She tried to open that door but it was locked. She swiped the scientist's keycard but there pad said, 'Lockdown Mode. Access Denied'

She rolled her eyes and thought, why the hell not try quaking the door down. She gently pushed Jiaying behind her as she aimed her hand towards the door handle. She hoped that she could create a small blast but instead, the entire door went flying which startled the guard in the room, "Oh shit"

A man charged at her and due to the strain on Skye's body, she was too slow to dodge the man body slamming her to the ground. She felt the air being knocked out of her lungs. Before the man got the chance to strangle her, Jiaying touched the back of the man's head and began sucking his life force. Skye watched as the man's face paled and the skin began to shrink.

Skye quickly moved out of the way before the man fell on top of her. She stood up and looked at Jiaying with an impressed look, " So that's your ability"

"Are you okay?" Jiaying asked.

Skye nodded her head as she made her way to the console room. She looked at the monitors and sighed in relief when she saw Ward, Lincoln and Yo-Yo. They were all locked in cell but at least they were alive. She had spent the past 2 years thinking that they were dead, despite Jiayings reassurance that the rock was just a caste. But wait… where was Katya? She didn't have time to look at all the monitors because she saw various guards entering the cell room, "Okay… I need to figure this" she muttered as she looked at the buttons.

Jiaying pointed to the red button, "Press that" Skye looked at Jiaying and shrugged her shoulders. Why the hell not? She pressed it and saw as all the cell door opened. She ran out of the room and down to the cell room where she saw a riot break out.

A guard ran up to her with a baton in his hand but she swiftly dodged his attack and kicked him in the stomach. She looked around and saw how everyone was fighting with their fists and not with their powers, Skye turned to Jiayang who stole someone else's life force, "I thought you said they went through terrigenesis"

"They did, they must have inhibitors on them"

Skye looked at everyone's wrist and saw a bracelet. That must be blocking their powers.

"Skye?", Skye turned around to see Ward staring at her with disbelief in his eyes. No, this was impossible. Skye couldn't be alive.. She had died. She had died 2 years ago, "You're not Skye"

Skye saw anger and pain in his eyes and realised that he had thought she was dead, "I am Ward", she tried to plead with him that she was real… that she was still the same Skye that he knew.

"Skye is dead" Ward growled as he took a step forward with his hands tightly clenched into a fist

"No I'm not", well… technically she had died… several times on the operating table but she was still her, at least she thought that she was still her, "The first time we met, I was 10 years old and my name was Mary Sue Poots, you had made fun of me because of how stupid it sounded"

Skye let out a soft sigh when she saw the disbelief turn into realisation. Ward ran over to her and pulled her into a hug, "I thought you were dead… we all did"

Skye pulled out of the hug when she saw a guard coming up to them and kicked him in the stomach while Ward punched the guy who was coming up from behind Skye.

"Yeah it's a long story" Skye muttered, she looked around and saw Yo-Yo and Lincoln, "Where's Katya?"

Skye saw how the happiness was practically sucked out of Ward's face when she mentioned her name, "Sk-"

Before he could tell Skye what happened to Katya, he suddenly collapsed in pain, "Ward!". Skye looked around and saw everyone collapsing onto their knees as guards stormed in. She turned to Jiaying who also collapsed onto her knees, "Wh-What's happening?"

"I-Inhibitors" Jiaying choked out.

"Subject 804! Stand down!"

Skye clenched her jaw as men dressed in HYDRA uniform surrounded her with guns aimed at her. She felt her heart begin to pound out of her chest. There was no way in hell she was going to go back to that hell hole. It was odd, she couldn't remember the details of the experiments.. but she knew that whatever they did to her was bad.

As her heart rate began to increase, she felt pressure building up in her arms and an unsettling feeling in her stomach. She felt time slow down as she the man shouted, "Fire"

She felt the vibration of everything in here, including everyone in the room.

Suddenly, everyone in the room began to look at their wrist that was shaking and then they looked around the room.

It was an earthquake.

The last thing Skye remembered before falling unconscious was seeing all the men fly back and hitting the walls while the buildings began to crumble like a avalanche had hit it.

Ward drummed his fingers along the wooden armchair as he looked at Agent 33's face that replicated May's face. The main difference, and the most noticeable difference was that there was a massive burn on the side of May's face.

This… was just creepy.

"Eugh… nice face you got there" Ward pointed out awkwardly. Whitehall didn't trust bum yet, which was fair, but it meant that he was being monitored by this brainwashed agent.

"Doctor Whitehall implanted a Photostatic Veil"

Right… her robotic tone made him cringe. He knew about the brainwashing project that they had going on, they even subjected him and Daisy to it but it didn't work on them. Guess being an Inhuman and trained since a young age had its perks.

"Why not change your face then?" If Ward had the ability to change his face, then he would make himself look like anyone other than Agent May. He would also use to get rid of the scars that were painted on his body.

"Doctor Whitehall hasn't given me the order to"

Oh… this woman was going to annoy him. He knew that he was no better, especially because he was used to completing missions without questioning orders, but this chick seemed like she didn't have any thoughts of her own, "You don't need his orders to change your face"

"I will wait for Doctor Whitehall's orders"

Ward rolled his eyes, yep. She was boring. It was times like this he missed having someone around who wasn't so boring. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette to put into his mouth, "Want one?"

Agent 33 tilted her head, "Cigarettes are prohibited in the building" she walked over to Ward and slapped the cigarette out of Ward's mouth.

"Hey!" He suddenly stood up from the chair, knocking it over as he glared at the Agent. He was about to say something but before he did, the phone Daisy gave him started to vibrate. The woman was lucky.

He took his phone out of his pocket, expecting a message from Daisy but instead, he was greeted with the screen blaring a red message that said, Self-Destruction Mode Activated. What the hell was this? Suddenly, the phone began to heat up in his palm and a second later it began sparking. Now the heat didn't hurt me but the sparks did. He let go of his phone and watched it practically fry itself, "What the hell?"

"Agent Ward, what was that?"

Ward raised his eyebrow at ther, despite her asking a question, she still had the same monotone voice, "I don't know". He had a bad feeling about this… why would Daisy fry the only form of communication that they had with each other? His only explanation was that Daisy was in danger and someone had tried to get into her computer system.

A knock at the door interrupted Ward's thoughts. He felt the rage and fire coursing through him when he thought about what danger Daisy could be in, "What?" he shouted at the person interrupted him.

A man who dressed in odd-fashion attire and had really bad shabby hair, opened the door with a stupid grin on his face. The second that Ward saw his face, he immediately got a bad feeling and he didn't know why, "Agent 33, Whitehall wants you"

Agent 33 looked between Ward and this mad-looking man. For a second, Ward thought he saw hesitation in her eyes, but it disappeared the second that she blinked her eyes. She nodded her head and left the room, leaving Ward along with this man.

"Who the hell are you?"

The mad man's lips curled into a sadistic smile, "No-one that you remember… Subject 805. '' Instantaneously , Ward's eyes began to glow bright orange and the temperature in the room instantly increased. The man smirked as he felt the heat, "Beautiful... but I wouldn't do that if I were you". The man lifted his phone up and showed Ward a live video footage of Lincoln being strapped into a chair unconscious.

"What the hell did you do to him?" He growled, a bead of sweat dropped on the man's face due to the increasing heat in the room.

"Decrease the heat hellboy or else I'll kill him" The man flicked a switch which caused Lincoln to jolt awake from the sudden shock.

"Stop! I'll do it!" Ward shouted, his eyes stopped glowing and he clenched his fist to restrain himself from lighting this man on fire.

"Good" The man walked into his office and tossed Ward the phone so he could keep an eye on Lincoln. He went over to a spinning chair and sat on it, "This is quite comfy. I should get myself a chair"

"What do you want?" Ward was getting tired of this man's shit.

"Oh right, I got off topic" The man shook his head and lightly hit himself in the head, "My mistake. I need you to complete a mission for me"

"Like hell I will" Ward wasn't going to do shit for this guy if it put the other inhumane in danger. So he better not ask about the location of the others.

Daisy knew the location of almost every inhuman that were in the labs. Of course there were some that went rogue and wanted to be lone wolves, but those who wanted to stay and go to the Afterlife were tracked, just like Lincoln. He wasn't living there but he visited from time to time. Yo-Yo was also being tracked, she would go back to Colombia to fight back against the injustices that plaques her hometown.

Ward wondered if that was the reason why his phone exploded, maybe this guy tried to hack into her van.

"Don't worry, I don't care for your inhuman community. What I want is more… of your expertise. I need you to collect Raina and return her to Whitehall. I know that you leaked the information about HYDRA wanting her to S.H.I.E.L.D"

Ward wasn't even surprised. The new guy suddenly comes in and information gets leaked? Who else are you going to point the finger to?

"Why do you want Raina?"

The man started laughing, "You're not in a position to ask questions,'' he suddenly stood up and walked over to Ward, "Complete the mission in 4 hours or else subject 373 dies".

"How do I contact you after I complete the mission?" Ward growled through his gritted teeth.

The man pointed at the phone in Ward's hand, "I'll know when the mission is complete. You'll get a location on the phone… and if yoh fail… You'll watch him die"

With his last threat, the man walked out of the room leaving a pissed off Ward.


"You're telling me that she's a weapon who has the potential to create earthquakes?", Mack knew that Daisy was already dangerous enough as she is but when adding the fact that she has the ability to cause a natural disaster, she was more than a danger, she was a threat.

"And that she could be brainwashed by HYDRA but wouldn't even know it?" Bobbi added on more calmly. She shot Mack a look that said calm down, but he completely ignored her.

"Yes" Coulson nodded his head as he looked at his members. He knew that Mack wasn't going to take the news well, especially since the guy didn't seem to trust him to be the Director, "Which is why we are to use non-lethal force if we engage with her"

"What if non-lethal force doesn't work on her? I mean she has superpowers now. It was hard enough with Deathlok" Trip liked the girl, she had spunk, but he didn't like the idea of fighting Daisy who had superpowers. He hasn't seen her in action but from the stories, he was going to assume that she wasn't an easy opponent to take down.

Everyone looked at Coulson expectedly. Coulson knew how dangerous the next words coming out of his mouth were. If he said they could use lethal force, that would be executing the young girl, and if he prioritised Daisy's safety over his own team, then he wouldn't be a fit director.

"You don't have to worry about Daisy's abilities" Jemma walked into the room with Fitz who was carrying a small box.

"What's that Turbo?"

Fitz opened the box and showed everyone… a bracelet?

Hunter scoffed when he saw the device, "How is that going to stop a superpowered freak?"

"Hey!" Coulson shouted which caused everyone to look at him with confusion at why the director was suddenly shouting at them. They never heard him shout like that before. It was only one word, but the voice carried weight, "Daisy is not a freak. If what Raina said was true, than Daisy was subjected to years of experiments against her will"

"Coulson is right" Bobbi wasn't like Mack, she wasn't willing to forget the fact that Daisy was a human being, just like the rest of them. She considered Daisy to be a friend and if anything, she wanted to get Daisy back and bring her to S.H.I.E.L.D' s side, not HYDRA, "Daisy hasn't shown any signs of betrayal. First she used her powers to save Simmons from being exposed and even used it to protect me from having bullets in my ass. Not only that, she helped find Whitehall's identity, programmed our entire security system online, and even solved Director Coulson's carving problem"

Coulson tried his best not to look relieved by the sudden save of FitzSimmons and Bobbi.

"Right… don't call her a freak. Got it" Hunter muttered as he walked over to the chair and sat down.

"What is it?" Everyone had forgotten that May was here. May was quietly watching them argue for the past 10 minutes over Daisy being a threat or not. If she wasn't so quiet, she would have told everyone to shut their mouths before she shut them permanently. Especially Hunter, she really didn't like the guy.

"This bracelet is made up of compressed microfibres that absorb the vibrational waves that Daisy emits. If we get this on her, then theoretically she won't be able to use her powers" Fitz explained as he showed everyone the bracelet.

"That's great Turbo… but the problem isn't her powers. It's her. You think she's just going to let put that thing on her?"

"If she's not being mind-controlled, then yes. I think she'll be quite compliant" Jemma knew Daisy for a couple of months now, unlike the rest of them. Despite the snarky remarks and violent gestures that often got Daisy in trouble, the girl avoided getting into a fight unless it was necessary, or the person was just plain annoying.

"That's a big leap" Trip didn't like their chances.

"A leap that I'm willing to take" Jemma responded. Trip looked at Jemma in the eyes and saw how she wasn't going to relent, so he simply nodded his head.

"It's a leap that can get us killed" Mack stated.

"If you can get a bullet in then you can get a tranquiliser in" May stated with a bored expression. They were simply wasting time by arguing. Another second here is another second that Daisy is potentially brainwashed.

The team was currently on the BUS, on their way to Puerto Rico to start drilling a hole to the underground temple. Coulson needed to balance his time destroying the temple and finding Daisy. Right now, they have no lead on Daisy so until then, he was going to go to this underground temple and blow it up.

Suddenly, a red alarm went off, alerting them that there was another aircraft looming over them. May was the first one to move out of the lounge room and into the control room.

"What's happening?" Coulson asked as he looked over May's shoulder to see what she was doing.

May looked at the screen with confusion, "Someone's hacking into our communication feed"

Just as she said that, someone appeared on the projector and everyone immediately recognised the man's face.

"Ward" Fitz growled as he clenched his fist in frustration at seeing the man who tried to kill him and Simmons.

Ward completely ignored Fitz, usually he would make a snarky remark about Fitz looking better than ever but he really didn't have time to, not when someone he saw as a brother was being trapped by that mad man, "Look, I don't have time to catch up with you guys. I just need Raina"

"You must be out of your mind if you think that we're going to just hand her over to you" Coulson didn't know what game Ward was playing, but he wasn't surprised to see Ward here, betraying them again.

"We have 4 missiles aimed at your plane. If you don't hand Rain-"

"Pick a side Ward" Coulson interrupted him, he knew what Ward wanted and there was no way in hell that he was giving them Raina, "One minute you're working with HYDRA, then you're working with Daisy and now you're back to HYDRA"

Ward then noticed something, he could clearly see the entire team. There was FitzSimmons who were glaring at him with disgust. May and Coulson who were shooting icey daggers at him. Trip who glared at with anger. And there were the trio new guys.

But no Daisy.

"Where is she?" Panic began to settle in his stomach, what did shield do to her?

"You shouldn't have come back Ward. The only reason why we haven't sent a nation-wide man-hunt out for you is because Daisy got you pardoned. But Daisy isn't here now"

Everyone was surprised to see genuine fear and anger in Ward's eyes, "What the hell did you do to her?"

Coulson and May shared a look of confusion, "Whitehall took her. Don't play dum-"

"Whitehall doesn't have her!" Ward slammed his hands down onto the tablet and glared at them. If SHIELD doesn't have them, and HYDRA doesn't, then who the hell had her?

"Calvin doesn't work for HYDRA?" May questioned as she looked at Coulson who was getting more and more confused as time passes.

"Calvin? Who the hell?" Ward was officially ready to light his entire office on fire. Not only was Lincoln missing, but now Daisy, "Describe him to me"

"Shabby hair, Crazy Eyes, speaks like a madman. Claims to be Daisy's father" Fitz said. He was growing more and more concerned, he had assumed that HYDRA had her but now Ward was saying that Daisy wasn't with him. He could tell that Jemma was thinking the exact same thing.

Oh, this was not good for Ward's stress levels. He looked down at his hands and saw smoke coming out of his hands. He began pacing up and down as he tried to process everything. The description that they had just given him sounded exactly like that man who he had met, but now he was claiming to be Daisy's father, "Fuck!" He knocked everything off of his desk.

"Ward! I don't know what the hell is going on with you but you need to start explaining why you hijacked our plane!" Coulson shouted, the anger and anxiety that was radiating off of Ward, was starting to affect him too.

Ward closed his eyes and took in a deep breath to calm himself down. He needed to deal with this problem, one step at a time, "Look, this madman that you're speaking of has a friend of mine…"

"You have friends?" Fitz scoffed with his arm crossed over his chest. Ward shot him a glare but Fitz wasn't even in the least, a bit intimidated, which Ward had to admit, it was an improvement and he respected that.

"In exchange for Raina, he will give me the location of my friend. If this is the same guy that kidnapped my friend, then this guy might have Daisy"

"And if he gives you the location, then you might be able to find Daisy" Realisation settled in Coulson's eyes, this was their lead.

Mack walked over to the mute button and slammed his finger down, "You can't be considering this". He thought that this was a bad decision, working with the man who is known for his betrayal? Yeah, as if.

"Watch yourself Mack,'' No one was allowed to undermine Coulson's authority except for May.

Mack shot May a look of annoyance, he, just like everyone else on this damn BUS, knew how biased May was when it came to Coulson, "This is a terrible idea. Do I need to remind you guys that Raina can hold the Obelisk and that HYDRA now has the location of temple?"

"We're talking about Daisy's life here. We technically won't be losing much since we're blowing the temple up anyway. If Raina gets a hold of the obelisk and goes down the temple we won't be changing our plans. We will still blow the temple up. I doubt anybody will miss Raina if she's gone" Jemma stated coldly, everyone turned their heads to look at her, "What? She not only worked with HYDRA on the centipede program that created Deathlok but she also put Coulson in a memory machine"

"Jemma is right" Bobbi added in, she knew that Mack was going to give her a lecture but right now, she was focused on finding her friend, "Daisy might be used as a secret weapon for HYDRA or… for whoever has her. We all know how deadly Daisy is without powers, just imagine her with powers. It's better to have Daisy on our side, whether that be as an enemy, or ally"

Bobbi really hoped that she was able to persuade Mack with logic. She sighed in relief when she saw Mack's shoulders begin to relax.

Coulson was glad that they had reached an agreement, because whether they agreed or not, he was going to save Daisy. He wasn't going to let an innocent 20 year-old girl who has been manipulated by HYDRA, to be used as a weapon. He shared a glance with May, and knew that this was getting more and more personal for May. May had already failed to save a young girl from being used as a weapon, she wasn't going to let Daisy slip through her fingers.

"Good" Coulson unmuted the communication feed with Ward and said, "We will give you Raina however, you have to share the location that Calvin gives to you"

No. That wasn't part of the deal. If Lincoln happened to use his powers, than he would have to kill Coulson and his team, he didn't want to but he would. He will kill anyone who is a threat to his family.

"Daisy is a member of our team and I won't let you, or anyone else get in the way of saving her"

Ward tilted his head to the side, trying to find a warning sign that told him that Coulson was lying… but he couldn't. Coulson was determined, and that was both a good and bad thing. It meant that he would never give up, even if the odds are stacked against him.

Ward rubbed his eyes tiredly, he really didn't have time to go back and forth, "Whatever. Just give me Raina"


Exactly 4 hours has passed and Ward was impatiently waiting on the BUS with handcuffs around his wrist, for a message from Calvin. The phone was on the table where Coulson, May and FitzSimmons were crowding the room. The rest of the team were organising drilling the hole to enter the underground temple.

Ward bounced his leg up and down as he looked around the room. It was a nice touch up from the last time he was in here. The broken windows were fixed, the clustered papers were gone and they had some new tech.

While he could feel the anxiety in his chest rising due to the sheer thought of his family being in danger, he couldn't help but notice the way that Fitz was glaring at him. There was something in Fitz's eyes that he had never seen before, a rage that can not be untamed.

Ward opened his mouth to ask, "How's you brain injury?"

But he immediately got shot down by everyone the room when they said, "Shut Up Ward", simultaneously.

So instead, they were sitting in silence. He looked over to May and notice that something in her eyes has shifted… it was odd seeing May look… less robotic and more emotional. He knew that May was the mother hen if the team, However she never showed it. May hid her true feelings behind her silence, which was more dangerous than anything. Despite all of that Ward managed to find a spark of protectiveness in her eyes whenever Daisy popped up in conversation.

May wasn't the only one, Coulson got the fatherly look in his eyes. Coulson was determined to bring Daisy back to S..H.I.E.L.D and he couldn't understand why. Daisy was HYDRA, at least she worked for them, so he wondered why they were so attached to her. Wait, was Daisy attached to them?

He didn't know why, but the feeling didn't sit right with him. He looked around and saw Jemma's expression, she was getting better at hiding her feelings, but not good enough. He could tell that Jemma cared about Daisy too.

This was going to be bad if they found out about her secret. He would have to kill them and he wasn't sure how Daisy would react. She was fiercely loyal when it came to the people she cared about.

He let out an annoyed huff which earned him several glares, "What? I can't even breathe now?"

"No" May straightforwardly shot back.

"You lost that right when you tried to kill FitzSimmons" Coulson had made Daisy a promise to pardon Ward, but he never said he was going to be nice to him if they came face-to-face.

"So we're not going to let bygones be bygones?"

"Go to hell Ward" Jemma's spiteful tone was almost venomous enough to hurt him… if he actually cared about how they thought of him. Unlike Daisy, he was cold and heartless, it was in his nature. For Daisy, being cold and heartless was a facade to protect her from feeling too much.

"What do you expect Ward? You betrayed us. You tried to kill us! And even worse, you broke our family!" Fitz growled, he looked like he was ready to throw something at his head.

Ward started to chuckle at that which caused everyone to shoot him an even more murderous glare, "Family? I'm sorry to say this, but you're not family. I have a family and so does Daisy"

Coulson would be lying if he said that he wasn't curious about Daisy's relationship with Ward and the guy Ward was trying to save. There must be a story that goes beyond training together. It looked like they were bonded over something more. He also wondered if Ward knew about Daisy being a secret weapon… there were so many questions he wanted to ask, but those questions weren't directed to Ward, but to Daisy.

No-one said anything more because they were all wondering the same thing. Who would Daisy choose? Them? Or Ward? Everyone was falling into their own self-spiral of doubt about Daisy but if there was one thing that Coulson was certain, it was that he was going to save Daisy no matter who he had to fight. Just like Daisy fought for him when he lost hope. His only concern that the Daisy they met, wasn't going to be the Daisy they knew.

The silence was interrupted by the phone ringing, Ward made a move to reach for it but he had forgotten about the handcuffs. Coulson picked up the phone but confusion was written on his face, there were two locations, "Clandestine Clinic and Ponce De Leon Theatre"
