"You can't do this to me!" was the first thing Hayley heard when she finally came back around. She gingerly touched her stomach but didn't feel any pain. The time vortex must've healed her again. Never had she'd been more grateful to have that 'gold stuff' within her. If she hadn't, she would be dead. "You can't. Take me back!" Rose pleaded breaking her from her thoughts. Hayley slowly sat up to discover that she was in the TARDIS, her adoptive sister shouting at the console. "Take me back! No!"

"Rose? What's going on?" Hayley asked, grunting as she pushed herself to her feet. Her stomach churned from the movement but she ignored it in favour of focusing on her sister.

"The Doctor tricked me!" the blonde exclaimed "you've gotta help me get back to him". She turned back to the controls and continued pressing buttons. Hayley stumbled over to her side, grabbing hold of the console, a golden spark jumping unnoticed from her fingers into it. "Come on, fly", Rose urged the ship "How do you fly?!"

Hayley opened her mouth to tell her that it was no use when her stomach lurched. She clapped a hand over her mouth and dashed out of the TARDIS. Rose ran after her sister when the doors suddenly slammed shut, trapping her inside.

Hayley fell to her knees, emptying the contents of her stomach on the pavement. She wiped her mouth, groaning as she straightened up. Then she heard the TARDIS engines start up. She spun around and darted towards the vanishing box. "Rose!" she shouted as it completely disappeared before her eyes. What the hell just happened?! The TARDIS had taken off with her sister to god knows where, leaving her behind.

She was still staring at the spot where TARDIS used to be when Mickey ran up to her. "I knew it! I was all the way down Clifton Parade, and I heard the engines", he said. Then he noticed that the TARDIS wasn't there "Hayley? Where's the TARDIS?"

"She's gone", Hayley said quietly "took Rose with her". She turned her gaze upwards "please be safe Rosie", she whispered.

Months later Hayley found herself standing outside the perimeter wall of Cybertek with Skye and May. She honestly still couldn't believe how they got to this point. Turned out that they had a wolf in the team this entire time. Grant Ward, hers and Skye's SO was Hydra. She never saw it coming. None of them did. To make matters worse he killed Eric Koenig. That man was like the annoying, geeky brother that she never had. She was so looking forward to making Ward suffer. And she knew May was too. The Doctor may have earned the moniker of Oncoming Storm but Hayley was going to show her former SO that she too can bring the storm.

Suddenly part of the wall exploded leaving a nice big hole for the trio to go through. "Nice work, guys", May told Coulson and Trip through her walkie talkie "The window's open".

They entered the building and made their way through it to look for the room where the soldiers were being controlled from. Thankfully all they had to do was follow a guard to their destination. May took down the guard they followed with her ICER. She also took care of the second guard who was stationed just inside the room.

"Coulson, we've found the dealer", Skye reported through her own walkie talkie.

: Copy that : Coulson replied. May positioned herself behind the guard counter while Hayley and Skye went deeper in the room, she latter holding a backpack. The people in the room look at the twins with shock and worry, even backing away from them. Skye holds the backpack up so everyone can see.

"This is a bomb. You know what those do", she said. The head man, Zeller goes to his large command center in the back and hurriedly typed away at the computer. "And you've seen my sister here through the eyes of your super soldiers, so you know what she can do. You don't want to mess with us, is my point".

Hayley deliberately made eye contact with everyone making them all even more scared/nervous. "You're not going to be able to highjack our soldiers", Zeller told Skye as she drew closer to him "We've thought through every emergency scenario, including this one".

"Don't tell me you just switched the soldiers to default directive?" Hayley asked him raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I did", Zeller said almost cockily. Skye and Hayley shot him identical 'bad idea' looks, which immediately sobers him. "A-and how did you know about that?" he asked. The twins just shared smirks.

Hayley then walked forward so that she could take the backpack from Skye as she rung up Garrett. May then walked into the room and proceeded to round up the workers. They didn't need any of them except Zeller.

"Hi, John. Just calling to catch up", Skye said when Garrett picked up.

: Skye : the man said in a teasing tone which Skye ignored : You sound different on the phone…huskier :

"Are you curious why I'm calling from your soldier control center?" Skye asked him.

: No, I'm not too concerned. You see, if anyone but the assigned handler gives a directive to one of my men, well, kaboom :

"Ah, darn it", Skye stamped her foot "Coulson didn't think of that. You outsmarted us again", she said. Hayley knew she was just playing it up for Garrett.

: Phil's around? Great : Garrett said 'excitedly' : We actually have a lot to talk about. Oh, and I wanted you to know – your scientist friends – They were brave until their last breath :

Hayley watched Skye's face harden and then throws the phone down angrily. "Did he mention Fitz-Simmons?" she asked carefully knowing that Garrett has him in his clutches, or at least he did. She had no idea on the fates of the science duo.

"Yeah he did", Skye answered. She snatched the backpack from Hayley and turned back to Zeller. She forced the man to sit down and strapped the backpack to his chest. "Hayley, you got that thing set up on your phone right?" she asked glancing at her sister.

"Yep I do", Hayley said taking her phone out. Skye then turned to the computer to search the floor plans to find out where the factory floor was.

"Looks like the back entrance to the factory floor is on the south side", Skye said into her walkie talkie as soon as she found it.

: Roger that :

Skye puts the walkie-talkie down and addresses Zeller "my sister has to hit 'snooze' on her phone every minute to keep that from blowing", she nodded to the 'bomb'. Hayley made a show of hitting the snooze on her phone.

"I will die before talking", Zeller said firmly "but there's nothing to tell. There's no way of controlling the soldiers unless there's an actual handler at the machine".

"I'm not interested in that. I'm more interested in why you're willing to die for HYDRA", Skye said. Zeller scoffed and looked away from her "Are you a true believer?" she asked "Is HYDRA the plucky little family you never had? Or are you here because of the incentives program?"

That got Zeller's attention, he quickly looks up at her. "She's not going to kill you", Ward said from behind them "neither of them will". Skye and Hayley turn to see him standing there with his gun trained on them. "Skye had a chance to kill me before and couldn't do it", he continued "she hates me…a lot" his gaze flickered over to Hayley who was glaring at him, her grip on the phone tight, almost enough to turn her knuckles white "and Hales hates me even more".

"I feel sorry for you, betraying the only people who gave you a chance at being a decent human being", Skye said calmly "Fitz was a hero because he still wanted to give you that chance after everything. But, some people are just born evil, I guess".

"Yeah, maybe they are", Ward agreed "I've learned things about you both…history, things you'll want to know" he walked closer to the sisters "We three aren't that different".

Skye laughed at him while Hayley kept her mouth clamped shut. It was taking everything she had not to tear him apart there and then. "You're not the evil I was referring to Garrett is evil", Skye said "You're just – weak – doing anything you're told. I hope Garrett orders you to walk into traffic".

"You're right, Skye. You woke up a weakness inside me. And for the first time in a while, I wanted something for myself", Ward said gently. He takes a few more steps towards them "Maybe I'll just take what I want, wake up something inside of you, Skye".

Skye steps up to him showing no emotion. "I'm not afraid of you, Ward", she said confidently.

"Neither of you're not going to kill us with the bomb. You'd go, too", Ward stated.

"No. I have two weapons much better than a bomb that will absolutely destroy you", Skye said giving him a smirk.

"And why's that?" Ward asked.

"One you slept with and the other…you killed her friend. So now, they're really pissed off", Skye said. At those words, Hayley threw time vortex at Ward, knocking him of balance. May then used this opportunity to kick him through a door.

Hayley tossed her phone at Skye who just about caught it before she hurried over to the room where May and Ward were fighting it out. Her former SO had a cable around May's neck and was strangling her with it. Hayley picked up a broken piece o and smacked him around the head with it. It had the desired effect which was to release May.

Ward spun around to face her but was met with a fist to the face. Hayley then kicked him hard in the stomach, sending him sprawling across a work table. Before he had a chance to stand up properly, the brunette was on him and unleashed all her anger. May watched Hayley pummel Ward deciding to let her take everything she'd been holding in since discovering Ward's betrayal and Eric's murder.

Her former SO kicked her legs out from underneath her, knocking her to the ground. Before May could make a move Ward was on top of Hayley, hands around her throat. May grabbed the back his shirt and tore him away from her. She then started to dish out her own beating on the man.

Hayley sat up just as Ward managed to get in a couple hits in. He kicked May in the gut, sending her to the floor. Hayley spied nail gun laying by bench. She scrambled over to it. "May!" she called, sliding the gun across the floor. May grabbed it and fired two nails into Wards foot.

The man screamed in pain and dropped to one knee, grabbing his foot to try and free it. He looks up at May just in time to see her raise a fist. "Wait, May!" he cried holding a hand up.

May just ignored his plea, brought her arm back and punched him as hard as she could in the throat. Ward grabbed his throat with both hands, choking as she'd just fractured his larynx. Hayley stood next to May. "Want to do the honours?" May asked her.

"Gladly", Hayley replied "this is for Eric". She then did a roundhouse kick to Ward's head, knocking him out cold. "Is it bad that I still want to tear him apart?" she asked May.

"No, it's not", she replied. She looked down at Ward "You can if you want. You've earned the right", May added.

"I really, really want to May…" Hayley sighed "but I can't. He doesn't deserve a quick way out. He deserves to suffer first".

May and Hayley walked with a now awake and handcuffed Ward to the factory floor where Coulson was talking to Trip.

"You got a chance to express all of your feelings?" Coulson asked the two females after Trip walked off.

"Is he still breathing?" Hayley countered.

Coulson glanced at Ward "Guess they kept some of it to themselves", he remarked. He knew how upset Hayley had been when she found out the news that the man had killed Ward. Scratch that, upset was an understatement. The brunette had gotten very, very angry and was ready to hunt down Ward then and there and make him pay.

His former specialist should count his blessings that both himself and Skye were able to convince Hayley to postpone her revenge mission. If they hadn't, Ward would more than likely be 6 feet under by now.

Hayley and May walked around to stand behind Coulson. "He's having trouble speaking", May told him "I think I fractured his larynx".

Coulson looked over at her for a moment "Oh, good", he said, pleased to hear it. He took a couple of steps toward Ward. "Your attempt to cross off Fitz and Simmons failed", he said. Oh thank god Hayley thought, extremely relieved to hear that. "But Fitz may never be the same again", Coulson continued "So, I'm going to invent new ways to ruin the rest of your life. And we'll do whatever's necessary to get HYDRA intel from you, but your torture – it's going to be internal".

"And a little bit external", May added.

Without looking away from Ward, Coulson nods in agreement "Sure. Some of that", he agreed "But you devoted your entire life to a deranged narcissist who never gave a damn about anyone, and now he's dead. You've got the rest of your life to wrestle with the question – who are you, without him?"

Ward lowered his eyes away from Coulson. Hayley didn't have the heart to feel sorry for him, not after he tore their family apart by his betrayal.

Several hours later the Bus touched down in an unknown destination. Apparently Fury had left a little cube to Coulson to help him in his new capacity as Director. The group stood together on the ramp as it slowly lowered. A happy smile appeared on Hayley's face when they saw Jemma. She and Sky walked quickly down the ramp to embrace the British woman.

"Fitz, is he okay?" Skye asked stepping back with her sister "Please tell me he's okay".

Jemma looks at them all with tears in her eyes. "He's alive", she replied. They all relaxed hearing this. May looks around at their new surroundings.

"What is this place?" May asked.

"First thing I found in that box was these coordinates", Coulson said. He glanced at Jemma "Another secret base?" he asked her.

"I call it The Playground…", a very familiar voice spoke up. Everyone except Trip who hadn't met Eric, gaped at the newcomer. He looked identical to their fallen friend "…although, technically it doesn't have a name because, technically, it doesn't exist seeing as its a secret base and all".

"Eric?" Skye asked still staring at the man in disbelief.

"Billy…Koenig", the man corrected her "Agent of SHIELD". He lifts up his lanyard showing it to them proudly. "Although I totally understand the confusion. Eric passed away, sadly, but it's great to have company, finally, and I did not mind minding this place".

"Agent Coulson", Coulson said introducing himself.

"I know. I know. And it is an honor to meet you, sir", Billy hurried up the ramp and shook Coulson's hand "I'll get your lanyard shortly". He looked at the others, more specifically Hayley. "Eric told me all about you Hayley" he stepped forward and hugged the brunette much to her surprise "I'm so glad to finally meet you in person" he stepped back "I just wish Eric could be here for this".

Hayley gave him a small sad smile "me too", she agreed.

"But you're here now and hopefully ready to fight the good fight", Billy said.

"More than ready Billy", Hayley told him.

Billy turned his attention back to Coulson "I know we don't have much, but what we have is yours, sir", he said.

"Thank you", Coulson said.

"So…" Billy headed down the ramp "Where would you like to start?"

Everyone looked to Coulson who gestured for them to follow Billy. Hayley walked down the ramp with the others, taking in the large concrete hangar. As she walked, her thoughts turned to the Doctor and Rose. She hoped they were ok, wherever in the universe they may be.

The End!
