mmat: Sorry it took me a while to answer your question on chapter four. Yes, I will be bringing some characters from Barry's earth and maybe Kara's. However it will be later in the series, not in this story.
Jemma opened her eyes as her vision blurred, it took a moment, but Jemma's vision eventually cleared, she realized she was in the hangar. Jemma got up in desperation and tried to run, but she couldn't. Jemma looked down and saw handcuffs on her wrists, the cuffs were chained to the stairs.
"Yeah, we can't get of here." Ward said behind her.
Jemma turned and was grateful to see Ward standing next to her, Ward also cuffed and chained to the stairs like how Jemma was.
"Are you okay?" Jemma asked
"Yeah, I'm fine." Ward answered "What about you?"
"Glad to see you fine." Jemma said, kissing Ward.
"Okay lovebirds, we get it." Garrett said, standing at the lab door as he got Ward and Jemma's attention.
"I swear, John." Ward said "When I get out of here, I'm going to rip you to halves!"
"Well, look at that fire." Garrett said, keeping his distance from Ward and Jemma.
"You want to kill us?" Jemma asked
"Of course not, Agent Simmons." Garrett said "I need you. You can come now, Mike."
From behind the lab, Mike (or as he was better known, Deathlok) came from the lab and through the door. Mike stood next to Garrett as the 'clairvoyant' smiled at the two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
"Now you see, I need you Jemma, to transfuse Barry's blood to me. All I need you to do is improve the cellular structure so I can get his speed and transfuse it to me, I've already got the blood."
"That's why you had Skye hurt." Jemma realized "All because you wanted The Flash's blood!"
"Yes!" Garrett snapped
"I should've seen this coming a long time ago." Ward said "The only person you care about is yourself."
"What have I taught you, Grant?" Garrett asked "Never get close to anyone and fight for yourself. But instead, you got soft and you fell for Jemma."
"It was better than a life with you in it." Ward spat
"Maybe, but for every positive there must be a negative. Right, Jemma?" Garrett said, looking at Jemma
"You told Thawne to kidnap me." Jemma realized "Everything he did was what you told him to do: the prison break, sending Godspeed, killing Godspeed. It was all you."
"It was." Garrett said "Enough chitchat, get to it, will you?"
"I would die before doing anything for you!" Jemma spat at Garrett
"That makes two of us." Ward said
"Goddamn it." Garrett said as he turned to Deathlok "You know what to do."
Deathlok stepped forward and looked at Jemma for a moment before he finally sighed.
"Don't make me do this." Deathlok said "Just do what he asks, Agent Simmons."
"Mike, you won't hurt me." Jemma said, slowly stepping back.
"You're right I won't." Deathlok said as he turned to face Ward. "But I can't say the same for him."
Deathlok pointed his arm at Ward as a small projectile was fired and caught onto Ward's chest, the small, circular device activated as Ward dropped to the ground, gasping for air. Ward suffocated as his heart stopped due to the device.
"Grant!" Jemma cried as she crouched by Ward's side and looked at the device.
Garrett and Deathlok watched as Ward suffocated, struggling to breathe as he went into cardiac arrest.
"What's it doing to him?!" Jemma cried, looking at Deathlok.
"Stopping his heart." Deathlok answered "He doesn't have long, so who're you going to choose? S.H.I.E.L.D. or him?"
"Jemma..." Ward said, struggling to breathe.
"Grant." Jemma said as tears poured out of her eyes
"Don't...don't give...him...anything." Ward said as his eyes closed and his body stopped moving, Jemma turned to face Deathlok and Garrett.
"Alright I'll do it, just let him go." Jemma begged
"No tricks?" Deathlok asked
"No, just please, let him go!" Jemma cried
Deathlok pointed his arm at Ward's body as the device on Ward's chest retracted back to Deathlok's arm. Ward gasped for air as he was finally able to breathe. Jemma stayed at Ward's side as she looked down at Ward.
"Grant, Grant, are you okay?" Jemma asked
"I'm fine." Ward replied "I'm okay."
"Alright, that's enough." Garrett said as he nodded at Deathlok.
Deathlok removed Jemma's cuffs as he grabbed her by the arm, Jemma tried to resist, gripping Ward's arm as tight as she could. Ward tried to hold onto Jemma but he was too weak from what the device had done to hold on.
"Let's go." Deathlok said as he grabbed Jemma and took her to the lab.
"No, please!" Jemma cried "Grant!"
"Jemma." Ward said softly as he struggled to get up from the stairs
"Grant!" Jemma cried, before she was forced into the lab by Deathlok as Garrett looked down at Ward.
"Sorry, son." Garrett said as Ward's face collided with Garrett's, Ward's whole world went black once more.
At the Triskelion, Coulson and the rest of the team had just arrived on the Quinjet. Barry and Skye had just finished explaining to them what had happened and that Garrett and Deathlok had taken Ward and Jemma.
"So you guys came to the Triskelion to arm up with an arsenal?" Hill asked for confirmation
"Yeah." Skye replied
"And then Garrett and Mike (or Deathlok) took Jemma and Ward?" Trip asked
"That's it." Barry said
"What could he want with them?" Fitz asked
"I don't know." Barry answered
May come from the lab at that moment.
"I think I do." May said "I checked the lab, there's a label in the blood closet that says Barry Allen/The Flashand it's empty."
"That's why Garrett had me shot." Skye realized turning to Barry "He knew you would give me your blood and he got his hands on it."
"That's why he needs Simmons, but why does he need Ward?" Trip asked
"Jemma's the scientist, Ward's the field op boyfriend." Hill explained
"So Ward's just there to force Jemma to do Garrett's dirty work." May realized
"Barry, could Garrett copy your speed with your blood?" Coulson asked
"With Jemma?" Barry asked "Highly likely."
"Great." May groaned "Another evil speedster."
"We need to find Jemma and Ward before Garrett can copy my speed." Barry said as he turned to face Skye "Can you track the Bus?"
"Yeah, I can." Skye said as she typed onto one of the keyboards in the command center.
After a few seconds, a digital map appeared on the big screen with a dot flying over the Atlantic.
"There." Skye said pointing to the dot "Right over the Atlantic ocean."
"Alright. Skye, you stay here and monitor everything. Trip will be with you in case Hydra tries to attack the Triskelion again." Coulson commanded as he turned to everyone else "We're gonna go and get Simmons and Ward back."
"Let's do it." Barry said
"Alright. Let's go." Coulson said as Barry, one by one, sped everyone but Trip and Skye to the Quinjet.
Skye looked outside as she saw the Quinjet taking off, worry filled up inside of her. What if Barry can't stop him? Skye painfully thought What if Garrett's too powerful? What if-
"Barry'll be fine." Trip said as if he were reading Skye's mind "He'll kick Garrett's ass."
"I know." Skye replied "That's not the only thing I'm worried about."
"What else could you be worried about?" Trip asked
"I'm worried that if Barry stops Garrett, he'll kill him for what he did to me." Skye answered "After Thawne... if Barry kills anyone else, I'm worried he'll lose his soul, his identity, who he is."
"'Cause he's not a killer." Trip realized "I get it. Do you want him to kill Garrett?"
"Not if it costs Barry becoming a killer." Skye replied quickly "I wouldn't want him to do that for me."
"Then when we stop him, tell Barry that." Trip said "If there's anyone he'll listen to, it's you."
"I hope so." Skye said as turned to face the large board, which had two dots on it. One for the Quinjet and one for the Bus. Barry'll be okay. Skye thought.
Jemma finished transfusing Barry's blood to Garrett as she removed the syringe from Garrett's arm and placed it back on the lab's counter as she looked back at Garrett with hate and anger. So much anger, for what he done to Ward, not just now but to him his whole life. He deserves to die for what he's done to Grant. Jemma thought.
"It's done." Jemma said "You should have your speed in about half an hour."
"It'll work?" Garrett asked
"Yes." Jemma said, gritting through her teeth as Garrett got up and looked at her.
"All his life, I've only done what's best for Grant." Garrett said "No matter what."
"No, you made him your servant. Made him think he's indebted to you, when in reality he owes you nothing but a bullet in your head!" Jemma spat
"You won't understand now, but maybe later." Garrett said "Now let's go."
"Where are we going?" Jemma asked
"To see your lover boy." Garrett said "I'm not a good man, but I'm a man of my word."
Garrett walked through the Bus as Jemma followed him to Ward as she followed him hurriedly. Jemma was desperate to see Ward, after what happened to him, he could have had a hard time walking. Garrett led Jemma to a containment module, Ward was inside as he walked around in circles. He's walking, that's a good sign. Jemma thought hopefully. Garrett opened the door as Jemma rushed inside and hugged Ward tightly while Garrett closed the door of the module.
"Are you okay?" Ward asked "Did he hurt you?"
"No, he didn't." Jemma answered as she looked up at Ward. "Did he do anything to you?"
"No, I'm fine." Ward replied "What's wrong?"
"He got Barry's blood inside him and he made me edit it to give him Barry's speed." Jemma replied
"So he'll become a speedster." Ward realized as he imagined the horror of Garrett moving around in flashes of lightning.
"That's right son, I'll be the 'Hydra Flash'." Garrett said smiling as outside the cell doors, Deathlok arrived and stood guard.
"There's a Quinjet on our six, sir." Deathlok said
"Is it S.H.I.E.L.D?" Garrett asked
"Most likely." Deathlok answered
Garrett looked at the control panels that would drop the containment module and sighed, Ward and Jemma looked at Garrett in horror, knowing what he was going to do next. He would drop them into the sea.
"Sorry Romeo, you know what this means." Garrett said as he made his way over to the control panel and tapped on the controls.
"Garret, no!" Ward yelled "Don't do this!"
"Please don't, please!" Jemma begged as she and Ward banged on the doors inside the containment module.
"Garrett! Don't do this!" Ward begged "I'm begging you! You said I was like a son to you! I know you care about me and S.H.I.E.L.D!"
Garrett paused for a moment as he had a flash of memories:
Garrett teaching Ward to shoot a sniper rifle.
Garrett and Ward betting on who would in a fight between Iron Man and Captain America.
Garret pulling a 15-year-old Ward out of prison and teaching him how to survive in the world.
Garrett finally breathed a deep sigh.
"You're right." Garrett finally said "I do care... and it's a weakness."
Garret finally pulled the lever as the hangar door slid open, he turned and looked at the sliding containment module as Ward and Jemma banged on the module's windows as hard as they could. Outside, Barry and the team looked in horror as they saw a containment module falling out of the Bus as it's hangar closed.
"Guys, it's them." Fitz said, looking into a device. "In the containment module."
"How do you know?" Barry asked
"I put a heat sensor inside, just in case. I'm getting two heat signatures." Fitz replied
"Get us right above the water." Coulson commanded
Hill nodded as she slightly hovered the Quinjet just above the water, near the sinking containment module.
"I got 'em." Trip said
Trip kept his arms in a swimming position as he dived into the water and swam over 15 feet before cracking open the containment module door underwater. Trip offered Ward a hand as Ward took it, he looked over at Jemma, who'd passed out due to hitting her head on the module's wall. Ward picked up Jemma as he and Trip swam out of the module and towards the surface. Ward and Trip gasped for air as they both climbed onto the Quinjet, Jemma suddenly woke with a start as she coughed out some of the water that got inside her.
"Jemma!" Ward cried as he got her aboard the Quinjet and climbed inside.
"Grant!" Jemma cried back as she jumped at Ward and hugged him.
The Quinjet hangar door closed as it took off into the skies. Trip looked at Ward and Jemma as the entire team had smiles on their faces, forgetting about Garrett as they were happy to get their two teammates back.
"How are you guys?" Barry asked
"Glad to see all of you." Jemma said "It's Garrett-"
"He copied my speed, we know." Barry said
"Barry, I'm sorry." Jemma pleaded "Garrett, he-"
"It's okay, Jemma." Barry said "I would've done the exact same thing in a heartbeat if it was Skye. Right now, let's focus on stopping Garrett and building S.H.I.E.L.D. back up again."
"Well said, Allen." Hill said as she put the Quinjet on autopilot and got up from the pilot seat.
"Where are we going?" Ward asked
"Well," Coulson said "The plan was/is simple. Step 1: get you guys out of the Bus, which we did. Step 2: find Mike's son, get him on our side and to turn against Garrett. Step 3:-"
"Kick his ass." Fitz interrupted
"I think he was going to say stop him, but what Fitz said." May said, looking at Ward and Jemma.
"Where exactly is Ace?" Barry asked, turning to face Coulson.
"We tracked Deathlok's son to an unknown military base, possibly Hydra." Hill answered
"Let me guess, in North Carolina." Ward said
"Garrett told you about it?" May asked
"He told me about a military base that was pro-Hydra, said it had someone important to Deathlok and was in North Carolina." Ward answered "He didn't say anything else."
"Okay." Barry said as he looked at the entire team "Let's go stop Hydra once and for all.
"We have a problem." Hill said
"What problem?" Ward asked
"One of the prisoners from the Fridge is free and with Hydra, Hydra also got their hands on some deadly alien tech from the Battle of New York." Hill replied
"Who's the free prisoner?" Coulson asked
Barry looked at the i-pad and stared in shock as he couldn't believe who was walking out of the Fridge with Garrett.
"Barry, who's the free prisoner?" Skye asked
"Ian Quinn." Barry answered "The man who shot you."
North Carolina
Unknown Hydra Military Base
"Alright, I'm here." Barry said as he stopped running one mile out of the Hydra base.
"Okay, let's see what we're dealing with." Skye said into comms as the Quinjet flew above Barry and surrounded the base.
"There's a generator outside, should I cut it?" Barry asked
"Yes, do it." Fitz replied into comms
Barry ran inside in his unmasked suit as he vibrated his hand and cut off the generators from the rest of the building, the generators surged with electricity as they powered down. Back inside, Quinn and Garrett looked shocked as the power in every room (except for the one they were in) went dark with red flashing lights and alarms blazing.
"Allen." Garrett said to himself
"Allen? As in Barry Allen? As in The Flash?" Quinn asked "I came here for my gravitonium, not to face off against The Flash."
"I'll handle him. You stay put." Garrett said as lightning coursed throughout his entire body and he disappeared in a flash of lightning.
"Since when is he that fast?" Quinn said to himself
Back outside, Barry ran into the Hydra base as he took out all 30 enhanced soldiers inside in just seconds. Barry looked around the entire room when suddenly, a flash of yellow lightning came hit him. Barry was sent flying across the entire room as he hit a wall and fell to the ground.
"Barry?!" Skye half-yelled into comms "Barry, are you okay?"
"Yeah." Barry said, slowly getting up. "But we've got a problem, Garrett copied my speed."
"That's right." Garrett said
"You guys take out the base." Barry whispered into comms "I'll take care of Garrett."
"Come and get me, Barry." Garrett said as he chuckled maniacally.
Barry and Garrett ran at each other as fast as they could, they both went for a punch at one another's chest. The two of them both succeeded as they were both sent flying by one another's hits. Back outside, Skye, Fitz, Jemma, Trip, May, Hill, Coulson and Ward entered the base through another door. Ward and Trip took out all of the 14 Centipede soldiers with their new and improved I.C.E.R's that Fitz made for them and the actual S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, not the Hydra double agents. The team members went in as they found themselves in a hallway with multiple.
"Search every one of these door, don't stop until you've got Ace." Coulson commanded
"On it." Ward replied as he and the rest of the team began searching the doors for Deathlok's son.
In another room of the base, Garrett kicked Barry off of his feet as they were fighting. Garrett picked Barry up and threw him against the wall, Garrett sped over to Barry and threw multiple speed punches to Barry's chest. Garrett then speed punched Barry in the face with a strong left hook, blood dripped from Barry's mouth as he groaned in pain, lying on the ground as he was weak from the punches Garrett put on him.
"You know, in a perfect world, you and I would be good friends." Garrett said as he vibrated his right hand "I almost feel sorry for you and Skye."
Garrett lifted his vibrating hand, ready to deliver a killing blow to Barry's heart when suddenly, a blast of yellow energy hit Garrett as he was sent flying over 20 feet. Barry looked over in shock as he saw Fury standing there, holding the same weapon Coulson did when he had died.
"Fury?" Barry asked in shock
"Damn right, son." Fury said as he walked over to Barry. "Now get up, Skye would really lose it if you died."
"Yeah, she would." Barry said as he took Fury's hand as Fury pulled him up.
The two S.H.I.E.L.D. associates turned and faced Garrett, Coulson arrived at that moment.
"Fury?" Coulson asked, confused.
"Hey Coulson." Fury said
"What're you doing here?" Coulson asked
"Helping you and 'speedy' here kick ass." Fury answered "Can we get to it?"
"Please." Coulson said as he stood with Fury and Barry.
The trio turned to face Garrett as the evil Hydra agent cracked an evil smile across his face.
"Fury. You really are indestructible." Garrett said
"It took you until now to realize that?" Fury asked as Barry chuckled at Fury's words.
"God, how are you and Stark not best buds? You both got some impressive egos." Garrett said "I can see though why you consider Barry a son to you, though. You really dig those super-powered people, huh?"
"Right now I'm just digging the fact that I'm gonna kick your ass with these buds of mine." Fury replied, pointing to Barry and Coulson as he handed the weapon in his hands over to Coulson.
"Hey, I'd love to keep chatting but I got some business to attend to." Garrett said
"You'll have to go through us." Barry said
"And even if you do manage to get past us, which you won't..." Fury began
"... we've got even more agents ready to kick your ass." Coulson finished
"Where are Skye and the others?" Barry asked Coulson
"Destroying and erasing all of Hydra's data." Coulson answered "And destroying and erasing Hydra and taking out the centipede soldiers."
"NO!" Garrett yelled "You will regret that."
"Make us." Barry dared
Garrett and Barry ran at each other and this time, Barry had the upper hand. Out of rage, Garrett went for a punch to Barry's face as Barry countered by speed-punching Garrett's fist 20 times, alternating hands. Garrett groaned in pain as he clenched his wrist with his other hand, Fury and Coulson then glanced at Barry.
"You good?" Fury asked
"Never better." Barry replied as Fury and Coulson nodded before running out of the room to help the rest of the time.
Barry put a hand on Garrett's chest as he held onto Garrett's shoulder with the other hand. Yellow lightning came from Garrett's chest as Barry absorbed it's energy, Garrett felt his speed drain from his body.
"What the hell are you doing to me?" Garrett asked as he groaned in pain.
"I'm stealing your speed and it's actually mine. It's a neat trick I've been practicing, didn't think it would work until now. " Barry replied as he took his hand off of Garrett's chest. Garrett was finally drained of his speed.
"I don't need speed to kick your ass, Allen." Garrett grimaced
"Watch your words carefully, Garrett." Barry said as he ran over to Garrett and began speed-punching him as many times as he could, as fast as he could and as strong as he could.
That's it for this chapter, see you in the next one. Please send reviews, bye.
