NCIS and SHIELD Divided c26

Sam woke up, at first she was confused she didn't know where she was and she had a flashback to the basement. She looked around the room and her heart rate settled when she recognized her room in the pack house. She got up off the bed stretching her legs they still felt stiff and sometimes would ache but she was not worried about them. Her arm was gone, they had taken it off when she was placed in her room. Wait, how did she get there? She moved over to the door and out into the hall heading for the lounge…there she saw Alexa and Wanda on the couch, Alexa was teaching Wanda something on a computer. She scanned the room and her gaze landed on Natasha talking with Maria over near the kitchen. Maria turned around to face her, their conversation halting as Sam made her way over to them.

"How did I get here?" Sam asked

"You were asleep on the ride over, we brought you here. You are still recovering." Maria stated and Sam nodded she rubbed the mark on her shoulder.

"My arm? You took it off?" Sam stated she had looked for it in her room but it was not there. Maria looked over at the table and Sam followed her line of sight it was sitting on the table she went over to it and connected it to her arm. "Can I go out?" Sam asked with her back turned to Maria she did not want to look at her encase she lost her nerve.

"As long as someone goes with you." Maria replied

"I don't need…" she choked back her protest and winced under the pain of questioning Maria she looked down and tensed especially when she sensed that Maria was moving behind her and placed her hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry." Sam automatically stated at the contact.

"Let's go for a drive." Maria stated

"Y-you're coming with me?" Sam stuttered her eyes widening "Sorry, I-I mean…let's go." Sam mumbled she let Maria go first and followed her out to the car. Maria was driving at first Sam had no idea where they were going, part of her was nervous to be around Maria but another part was loving this attention from her Alpha. She didn't want to do anything to anger her, or make her upset so she found herself sitting in silence not wanting to say the wrong thing. Until she couldn't take it.

"This is ridiculous." Sam stated finding some courage "I mean, I have been your rookie for 6 years, known you for 8. Now I am nervous being in your presence, I keep apologizing not wanting to offend you…I want our old relationship back." Sam stated her hand slamming over her mouth, she had no idea why she stated that it was like she could not stop herself. "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me." Sam stated she tried making herself smaller in the seat, looking down at her feet and revealing her neck to Maria even though Maria was still driving.

"Sam…Sam, sit up. I am not going to hurt you. You did nothing wrong. I told you to share what was on your mind."

"Y-you did?" Sam asked not recalling Maria saying anything, they had been sitting in silence the whole time. "Silent command, sorry forgot about those." Sam stated she pulled her legs up so that she was hugging them. "Maria?" Sam started to ask but stopped herself

"Yes?" Maria could tell that she was needing some further prompting.

"The case we were working with NCIS on before…what happened?" Sam asked

"Blake took a team to work on it, with agents from the LA division of NCIS." Maria replied but she could tell this was only a small part of whatever was troubling her so she waited to see if she would ask what she was really wanting.

"What is the issue between us and NCIS?" Sam asked after several moments of silence had passed between them. "You don't have to answer that." Sam stated after several seconds passed by and she had not answered her.

"There is not really an issue." Maria replied and part of Sam knew she was lying but because of the bond she didn't question her. "Where do you want to go?" Maria asked when Sam made no further comments.

"There is this dinner down the road." Sam stated

"The one you met Ellie at?" Maria asked

"Yeah." Sam stated looking down she seemed to pull her legs closer to her chest.

"We've moved on from that." Maria stated knowing that Sam was thinking back to that time when she ran from them.

"We never really discussed it though. You bit me and that was the end of it. The thing is I don't even remember why I did it." Sam stated but stopped when Maria sighed "Sorry." Sam said looking out the window.

"You were right." Maria stated

"About what?"

"We were compromised…Coulson took over your case, not because of the pack but because he and his team knew how to deal with the enhanced. He was a teleporter, that was why there was no evidence."

"Did they catch him?" Sam asked

"No, we can track his signature but so far he has not been active…what is it? Sam I know that look, what are you thinking?"

"It's all connected…I still don't think Ward was the leader…Has he said anything at all?" Sam asked

"No, he has kept quiet…even Nat couldn't get him to talk." Maria replied as she pulled into a carpark. They sat there for a few minutes before getting out and heading inside…where they got food and coffee. "Is there a reason for this diner?"

"They make good bacon." Sam replied as her food came out, she still found it weird to use the robotic hand but was happy with how it worked. She knew that Maria was watching her closely but was choosing to ignore it. Once they were finished Maria's phone went off and she frowned at the message.

"Work?"

"Yeah, come on."

"I can drop you off then head back…"

"You can come with, this shouldn't take long."

"Okay…can I drive?" Sam asked but Maria's response was getting into the driver's seat. "I am not that bad." Sam mumbled moving to the passenger side before climbing in Maria took off heading for the Triskelion.

When they arrived they walked through the halls wearing stoic expressions Sam noticed several agents look up as they walked past. Sam followed Maria onto the elevator deciding to get off and head to her locker considering Maria was called into a meeting with Nick agreeing to meet up in her office. At her locker she pulled out her good jacket that she had left here before the incident and went to head up to Maria's office when she saw May and Coulson. She went over to them greeting them with a smile.

"You guys here on mission too or debrief?" Sam asked she saw that they shared a look with each other.

"Stop over." May stated

"Right. Cool, are the others here?"

"On the bus." Coulson replied as he did it was then that Sam clicked something familiar was nagging at her only now did she place it. They smelt like Ellie…her smile slipped from her face going stone cold as pieces began to slip into place. She took off for the elevator to their apartment. It was the direction that May and Coulson had come from she ignored their shouts at telling her to stop, she sensed they were following her.

"Sam…"

"Coulson don't…I better be wrong about this." Sam interrupted him as they were in the elevator. When the doors opened on the floor reserved for the packs did Sam freeze, she could smell Ellie's scent stronger now. She all but ran down the hall following the scent when she reached the door she stopped…because May had placed her hand on her shoulder stopping her. Sam growled at her whacking her hand off her shoulder she entered the room…she saw Ellie lying on a bed looking sick…an all too familiar look. Sam moved over to her so she knelt down by her head placing her hand on her forehead she felt her sister shudder under her touch.

"Sam?" She asked her eyes opening to look up at her.

"Yeah, its me. I'm sorry El…"

"Sam." Ellie stated taking hold of her hand pulling her close she could already sense the start of her wolf forming.

"Ellie…" Sam stopped considering she had fallen back asleep. "Did she volunteer?" Sam asked not turning around to look at Coulson and May who were in the room with her.

"Sam…"

"Did she volunteer? Or was this forced onto her?" Sam asked now standing up and turning to look at Coulson, May she could not get a read on but Coulson she could usually tell and today was no different the look on his face told her plenty. "I'm going to kill him." Sam stated anger clear in her voice she moved away from Ellie, she looked calm but her eyes gave her away they held a fire in them as she moved for the door pushing past Coulson and May heading for the elevator.
