As soon as it had come, Skye felt the vibrations in the room vanish. For the first time in her life, she was relieved. Her body craved the buzzing back, but her mind begged for the opposite. Katya's body had been lying in the room for about three hours now, well she could only guess at how much time had passed but that seemed like an accurate amount. Her tears had dried up after one hour, and after two hours she had made herself pass out by hitting her head on the wall with as much force her weakened body could muster. But the peaceful nothingness had only lasted half an hour before her bracelet shocked her body awake. Now at three hours she was numb.
"Doctor Avery!" Skye squealed running to the door and jumping into the doctors arms.
The young doctor picked up the tiny child and carried her over to her make shift bed (a worn mattress and a dirty blanket) which were lying on the floor in the corner of the room. After placing the child down, she gestured for the girl to pull her shirt up. Skye did as she was told and the doctor wrote notes on her clipboard.
"Well done, flower. I can tell you've been resting, the bruise on your ribs look better and your breathing seems less constricted. Medicine time."
Skye obediently gave the doctor her arm, watching as the needle punctured it and pushed a blue liquid inside. "My body still hurts and I'm cold, like a lot and I have nightmares which make me sad" Skye cried reaching out to the doctor after she had put thee syringe away.
Avery gave a soft murmur of comfort before pushing the child away. Despite wanting to do everything she could to make the girl happy she couldn't lose her job, in the long run it would mean helping everyone here.
"Tell me the story" Skye begged.
Avery raised an eyebrow "Again?"
Skye nodded and Avery took a deep breath "okay. Once upon a time there was a small girl with long tangled brown hair and big brown eyes who decided she wanted to run away from home. She wanted to go and play with the monkeys in the jungle-"
"Monkeys are big and brown, right?! And they live far, far away from here but one day I will see them right?"
Avery giggled slightly and nodded "yes one day. Anyway the little girl set off on her journey in the cover of darkness. The stars in the sky twinkled above her as she walked and walked and walked, until her feet were very tired-"
"Doctor, tell me about the sky again"
Avery felt her heart break. She knew that this girl, 225 was special. Whitehall had made sure that she conduct as many tests as possible no matter how inhumane but still the child managed to smile. The drugs in her system helped Whitehall to manipulate her powers but often messed with her mind. According to her file the girl had been captured by Hydra when the child was about the age of four and as the years passed she remembered less and less about the 'outside world'. The experiments and drugs didn't help the girl to hold onto her memories either. Avery had met the child about a year ago and since then she had taken it upon herself to fill in the girls need of an education which she was severely lacking. She was surprised the child could still talk, her only communication being limited to the few staff who came in and out, keeping her docile and obedient.
"Okay. So the sky is massive, infinite. It has no end and no beginning, it's just there, above us and protecting us like the ceiling but much more amazing. During the day it's what colour?"
Skye practically jumped to her feet "blue! With fluffy clouds which is like the mash I get served if I'm good and a yellow sun which you can't look at because it burns like the fire sticks against my skin."
"And at night?"
"Black but with shining twinkling stars which look like little eyes winking at us. There's also a big round uh… what's it called again?"
"Moon" Avery prompted.
"Yeah the moon! Doctor, I think I want to see the sky, can we go and see it, please?" Skye made her eyes really big and reached up to the doctors face in what she hoped was in a cute way.
Avery laughed but shook her head sadly "I'm sorry pumpkin. Remember what the rule is?"
Skye sighed "I can't leave or go and see the outside unless Whitehall says because I'm dangerous and a freak and I will get hurt or hurt others"
Avery gasped "Hey, your not a freak ok? Your just different but different can be good"
Skye sniffed but nodded "I just wanna see the sky"
Suddenly the door smashed open and several guards stormed in. "Traitor!"
Before Skye could realise what was happening a loud bang resonated in the small room and the doctor slumped to the side, one hand still wrapped around her shoulder. Red sticky liquid trickled down the lady's cheek, dripping onto Skye's leg.
"Doctor?" Skye whispered "Doctor!" she screamed, grabbing Avery in her tiny fists and shaking her but her eyes remained unfocused.
"No!" the child sobbed until she felt a little sting in her neck and then darkness.
The last thing she remembered thinking was that she needed to see the sky.
In the hours that followed, someone had come in to take the body away but Skye didn't have the energy to lift her head from the ground where she lay. She didn't want to feel the pain anymore. Slowly more and more she was remembering, and it hurt. She was confused, tired, and lost. Nightmares plagued her sleep whilst visions and voices tortured her when awake. The last two years on the run with Ward now seemed like paradise, something she no longer deserved. Her throat was sore and dry whilst her stomach ached painfully, she desperately needed food and water. She had lost track of the time and day which made her mind dizzy and unsettled. She just wanted out.
Ward stormed down the corridor where Bobbi was walking down and quickly pulled her to one side, "Where's Skye?"
Bobbi pushed Ward's hands away and straightened up "I don't know, I've been stuck giving Whitehall security, why?"
"She's not in her cell, hasn't been for the last... twelve hours" Ward vented, "we need to fill her in or this plan of yours won't work"
Bobbi's eye's flashed "calm down. We have two and a half days to get the plan in motion, we will find her. I heard whispers of Whitehall re starting an old project and using one of the small isolation rooms, maybe he's moved her there"
"But why? Unless… oh no"
"What?"
"He's going to actually do it…"
"Do what?" Bobbi pressed.
Ward sighed "Before I ran into Skye, I was Hydra, deep in Hydra. It was common knowledge that Whitehall wanted to complete his life's work, the destroyer of world's. He always had an interest in powered people and if he could just find the right one then he could make an unstoppable soldier who would lead Hydra to victory"
"Great" Bobbi muttered "do you think he's going to do that to Skye?"
"That's the thing, he was about to just before she escaped. If he actually does it then this could either turn her into a monster or it could kill her"
