Skye Ghul or Skye Coulson chapter 4
"ana la 'akhtabi." (I am not hiding) Sam said standing up and moving in front of Skye and the others so that three arrows were aimed at her. "You know why I am here so why are you?" Sam demanded
"The reason you are here is why we are here." He replied in a thick accent.
"He did not send you?" Sam asked looking at the three of them carefully she recognized them. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Sam asked when they released the arrows she caught two of them and the third one missed her as Steve deflected it with his shield. Sam didn't wait she ran at the three of them and began to fight. Knocking back one only to be greeted by another that was when Tony was there in his suit firing at them only to get an arrow to the suit shutting it down before a second arrow could hit the defenseless man Sam caught the arrow and threw it at the man he easily dodged it. Bucky and Steve jumped in and ended taking on two of them as the third tried going towards Skye so Sam grabbed the closes thing around her which was a beer bottle and threw it at him. "siad al'akh you do not want to do this."
"You will not stop me." He replied as Sam grabbed the table cloth then ran and jumped on the couch using the cloth to wrap around him she yanked him backwards. Then stealing his dagger she stabbed him in the neck before getting up and rolling now she used his weapon to shoot at the one Steve was facing forcing him to turn to her. Steve then managed to catch him knocking him out before securing his hands. Bucky did not knock his opponent out he was dead. They turned to her, she now had guns aimed at her and Iron Man's repulses.
"Drop the weapon." Steve said
"Sam what is going on?" Skye asked May was keeping her back with Fitz-Simmons with Bobbie and Trip standing protectively in front of them. When Sam turned to look at Skye she froze, the look on Sam's face she did not recognise and it scared her. "Don't fight them please." Skye asked as Sam looked at her, she looked ready to fight but instead she stood straighter and dropped the weapons in her hands. Holding them up to show she did not mean any harm.
"Wait." Natasha told her teammates as it looked like Steve was about to move in she shared a look with Bucky they both knew the league if caught would choose death over capture. Before she could say anything else though Clint shot her with a sedative arrow. She looked down at the arrow pulling it out from her shoulder and turned to look at him.
"That was rude." Sam said looking at him as she dropped the arrow to the floor. She soon followed after a look of panic shone in her eyes before she met the ground. Steve moved over to her only to turn back around in time to see the one he had restraint had managed to move his hand to his mouth after saying something in Arabic before he too fell to the ground Steve ran back to him but it was already too late.
"She is from the league?" Clint asked totally confused everything he knew about them this girl was the total opposite of.
"I thought they turn their back on their previous lives so why stay in contact with Skye? Why come here?"
"I have met her before." Bucky stated he had been racking his brain all night trying to remember where he had seen her now he remembered coming across her and Nyssa daughter of the Demon on one of his missions. They bet him to his objective as Sam fought him and Nyssa killed the man he was meant to kill once the objective was done Bucky walked away. "We fought, I almost lost against her but the need to complete my mission stopped when her friend killed him so I left. She could have killed me but she didn't." Bucky said looking around the room.
"Can someone please tell me what is going on?" Pepper asked
"Those three men were assassins and by the sound of it… So is Skye's friend." Tony informed her looking at Skye who was looking at Sam on the ground.
"She isn't going to harm herself is she?" Steve asked
"The way of the league is death over capture but she did not try to kill herself before Clint sedated her. It is not adding up."
"What did he call her?" Skye asked looking at Natasha. "When He first came through he called her something and she responded."
"malak saqit." Natasha replied "fallen angel." She added as Skye was about to ask what that meant.
"She is here for a reason what could that reason be?" May asked
"We will have to ask her when she wakes up."
"We will need to put her in something more secure. She could easily get out of those."
"We have never caught a member of the league before, not before they killed themselves. It will have to be so she can't harm herself or escape." Maria stated looking to Natasha.
Sam woke up in a room, her hands were in secure restraints and her legs were chained to the floor. She knew she could get out of the restraints given a little difficulty but remained where she was after sitting up and looking around the room. She was in a room the walls looked to be made of glass but she had a feeling it was something a lot stronger her gaze landed up Natasha who was standing on the other side watching her.
"Is Skye alright?" She asked making Natasha surprised even though she didn't show it.
"Why are you here?" Natasha asked
"You know of the league?" Sam asked back
"Yes, I also know that over capture you choose death so why haven't you?"
"Chosen death? I like living for one thing, another I was never good at following rules."
"You and I both know the type of training you go through to become a member the rules you have to follow. So I ask again why are you here?" Natasha asked
"You have had come across the league? You have not undergone the training though so what do you know?"
"I know that you serve Ra's al Ghul and he expects nothing but loyalty to him. That by joining the league you turn your back on your past life and by his standards are born again is that not right malak saqit?"
"You are not the only one that has done research...I found it interesting researching you all."
"Us? We are your objective to what purpose? You cannot honestly believe that we will trust you even if you killed your own brothers to do so."
"Those men were not my brothers they turned their back on our code."
"A code you yourself are breaking? You have interacted with your past life? By doing so you have put her in danger?"
"My code is still intact. I owed her a debt we always repay our debts."
"What possible debt could you owe that ended up exposing yourself?"
"She saved my life, until the debt is repaid I..."
"You What?"
"You can't seriously believe that this will hold me?" Sam asked now looking at Natasha
"We have made precautions. Even our Asgardian friends cannot get out of this room." Natasha stated
"Challenge accepted." Sam smirked
"That was not a challenge."
"Too bad I am taking it as such. You know I am surprised you have not asked more questions about the league, this is the first time you have one in your custody no?"
"I thought you would have been more tight lipped."
"Ask away?" Sam said moving slightly this made Natasha critically asses her.
"How long have you been part of the league?"
"Pass next question." Sam said with a smirk
"I see what you are doing. Using snark and attitude so that we might see you on friendlier terms."
"Is it working?" Sam asked
"No, you are an assassin."
"So are you."
"My loyalties are not in question."
"You are right, Russian assassin turned American operator leaving Russia for America leaving America for the world. Avenger a hero your story not fully known by most but by those who do...who do you follow? Nick Fury? Tony Stark? Steve Rodgers I couldn't tell who the actual leader of the avengers is...the world security council? The United States government? I am messing with you...honestly I think what you have overcome and achieved is amazing a true hero and someone to look up to, a lot of people look up to you, you are inspired mostly in the covert operations and not as much as Rodgers or Stark but still enough to feel good. But you don't do it for them you do it because like Rodgers you are a good person and has seen enough evil to know that the world needs good. It needs what is necessary sometimes doing a bad thing is necessary to prevent more bad things from happening." As she did Sam was now standing her restraints undone and was free from the chains. "I think your computer is having a little..."
"Sam." Skye was there making Sam turn from Natasha to look at her.
"Skye." Sam said looking at her and not moving.
"You lied to me."
"I have never lied to you."
"You are an assassin not a cook?"
"I do cook, not a lie."
"When did you? How did you? Why?"
"After I left some bad things happened. I was in a dark place and a little screwed up."
"You were 16 when you left." Skye stated
"Exactly."
"Those four years?"
"I came across you by chance that night."
"This debt you are talking of, that is why you stayed in contact?"
"I repay my debts." Sam replied
"I don't believe it, you...you..."
"Care for you?" Sam asked guessing what she was trying to say.
"We did not go through everything we went through for you to just push me away. You do not get to throw me aside like everyone else. We made a pact."
"We were 11."
"Look me in the eyes and tell me it was only for the debt?" Skye cried out she could feel her powers just below the surface dying to be let free as her emotions were all over the place. Sam turned to Skye with those cold hard eyes, usually full of warmth and a glint of mischief but were now strangers eyes. "Fine then the debt is repaid you do not owe me anything else." Skye said looking at her as she did her powers slipped only for her to reign them back in. Natasha had turned to Skye as she felt the building tremble only to glance back around as she heard glass breaking Sam had gotten out of containment. She grabbed her gun scanning around her only to freeze Sam was next to Skye holding her.
"You are my weakness Skye, I keep my word." Sam whispered before grabbing her and taking her towards the window.
"Let her go." Natasha stated the gun was aimed at her.
"There is nowhere to go, we are 18 stories up." Steve said
"You still underestimate me, dangerous thing to do." Sam said and as she did she mumbled "I know who your father is. When you are ready leave a message and I will meet you at our lowest point." in Skye's ear before running towards the window. It broke and she jumped out. Skye spun around calling out her name as she dived for the window looking down but could not see her. Stark flew out in his suit but could not see her and the footage they found made little sense one minute she was falling the next she disappeared
