NCIS and SHIELD Divided c30
Ellie was freaking out, not again Sam was taken again. She knew Maria was already on the case but for NCIS's benefit she called Maria filling her in on what happened she was sending a team there led by May as Natasha and Bobbie were working from their end. They had the teleporters signature, she knew that Fitz, Tony and Sam were working on a way off book from SHIELD that was why she had Fitz working on the bus not going through SHIELD's channels as what Sam had expressed earlier about it all being connected could be true, on this she was not leaving anything to chance. She also expressed her opinion to Natasha and Bobbie that when they got Sam back she would be grounded… forever if she gets her way. That girl attracts trouble.
Sam woke up, her head was pounding as she recalled what had happened, McGee was taken by the teleporter he also grabbed her she did not know why. If he wanted her dead she would be dead. She looked around the room she was in, it looked like a warehouse there was nothing else in the room except some chains. She could hear trains outside so figured she was near a railway, but also boats thinking she was at some form of docks. She was once again tied to a chair this year was not her year. She looked over at a man that came into the room he looked familiar but she could not place him.
"Agent 22 glad to see you awake. You have some answers I want." He stated Sam remained silent as she assessed him. "No snark or attitude? What happened to the spunk I heard so much about?" he asked one minute he was on one side of the room the next he was right beside her.
"You too much of a coward to face me? You want answers you come and ask me yourself." Sam stated looking at the door on the other side of the room.
"You will answer me." The teleporter stated
"I am done talking to your lackee…John. You have questions, you come talk to me." Sam stated the teleporter grabbed her hair yanking her head back before he could say anything though the door opened and out walked John Garret. He was smiling, chuckling to himself.
"Clever kid, clever. I have to ask how did you know?" he asked stopping in front of her making her look up at him and she really had a strong urge to punch him.
"I'm smart." Sam replied only to get slapped across the face John grabbed her chin making her look up at him.
"How did you know?" he asked again at which she smirked at.
"Is that what you really want to know?" she asked back he stepped back and was looking at her and she could see the hate in his eyes.
"It was a simple question princess, we will get to the others soon enough. Now I will ask again how did you know it was me?" he asked
"Come closer and I may tell you." Sam replied at which he smiled at stepping back.
"Oh you are going to be fun to break. I will get my answers."
"As I recall your friend said that also, it did not turn out well for him." Sam stated at which Garret chuckled.
"Sven? He was a novice. I know how you were trained remember. I know SHIELD protocols princess you will tell me what I want to know." He stated moving a hair off her face before turning around and walking away. Two men came into the room he stopped beside them placing his hands on their shoulders, they did not look that big, they reminded her of soldiers but something was different about them. "These are my friends Burt and Kurt, do you want to know where I found them? The index…Burt here has a particular talent he can make you see your worst nightmares…soon you won't even be able to distinguish what is real or not…so you will be begging me to listen to your answers." Garret stated
"That is why you took McGee building yourself a little army of gifted?"
"Power is everything these days." Garret replied "Don't worry about your cop friend he will soon fall into line. They always do, you should be more worried about yourself Princess." Garret replied as Burt began he watched as his gifts were put into action, he saw that Sam tensed trying to reject his power…he could see the resistance and the concentration on Burt's face before he forced himself into her mind. He knew it worked as he saw Sam's eyes glaze over and her hands clenched into fists. "Give it an hour, stretch it out then let Kurt take over…make it Romanoff." Garret stated with a smile, this was definitely going to be fun.
"Sam? Sam?" Sam felt a slap to the cheek forcing her eyes open, part of her did not know if this was real or not.
"Nat?" She asked seeing Natasha in front of her freeing her hands from the chair.
"Yeah, are you okay to stand?" she asked
"Yeah, my head is heavy. Just give me a minute."
"We don't have a minute, this area is not secure." Natasha stated helping her up.
"What happened to the guys that were in here?" she asked and Natasha moved out of the way to see both of them on the ground dead by the looks of it.
"Taken care of, do you know who is behind this?" she asked
"Yeah, Garret." Sam stated leaning on her as she looked down at Burt and shuddered at the nightmare she was trapped in, she had no idea how long it had been but she hopes never to see that again.
"How do you know?"
"He was here."
"He revealed himself to you? What did he want?"
"Answers, but he never asked any questions. He had his friends work on me first after I made him reveal himself." Sam stated her head was pounding.
"You figured out he was behind it?"
"Yeah."
"How?" Natasha asked as they were now moving
"He was the only one to ever say I had spunk. Kids got spunk he said that time on that mission." Sam stopped talking her head was killing her she placed her hand on her head. When she opened her eyes something felt off, she let go of Natasha and stepped back. When she was looking at her Natasha's form seemed to change. "Nat did you ever read little red riding hood?" Sam asked and Natasha paused staring at her.
"What?" she asked
"You heard me…"
"You seriously want to do this now?" Natasha asked
"Yes, answer…"Sam stopped talking her head seemed to erupt in pain she ended up screaming bending over her hands clutching her head until she ended up passing out.
When she came to she was still tied to the chair Garret was back in the room looking at her, but it hurt her head to think. Instead she focused on nothing, this seemed to lessen the pain as she stared into space.
"How many times?" Garret asked bending down next to her but he wasn't talking to her.
"Six times." Burt replied
"Six? Her mind…" he asked concerned he still needed his answers and most people suffer brain damage after four sessions with him.
"Is still intact. She is strong."
"Samantha? Samantha?" he asked making her look at him "How did you know it was me?" he asked "Answer me and you won't have to go through it again." He stated Sam seemed to go pale at the threat and he couldn't stop a small victory smile. "How?" he asked noticing that her body was slightly shaking he would have to ask what it was that Burt showed her.
"You said I had spunk, the only one to say it." Sam replied and his smile grew he did it she was broken.
"How are you alive?" he asked "You should have died in that explosion, how are you alive and unscathed?" he asked when she didn't answer right away.
"Modern medicine…"
"Not good enough. Is it the same thing that saved Phil?" he asked
"I don't know…"
"Not good enough, once more. She maybe more cooperative after another session. Burt."
"No, please no more." Sam stated struggling against the restraints Garret knelt down beside her.
"How are you alive? Tell me or Burt will do it again."
"I didn't want to die, modern medicine saved me…shield doctors saved me." Sam stated
"No there has to be more. Burt again…this time make it painful." Garret said stepping back happy that he heard Sam cry out but could not stop as Burt once again entered her mind. He stood back and watched as she reacted to what she was being shown, how her hands would clench and unclench. Her body would slowly spasm and even a few tears fell down her cheek. This session last 30 minutes by the end of it she was screaming and thrashing around on the seat her bonds holding her steady in place. Garret gave the signal and she was gasping for breath.
"You used the list I gave you?" Garret asked
"Yes sir, she will find it hard to trust her friends again if she survives." Burt stated stepping back, Sam had lost consciousness. Garret went over to the sink filled a bucket up with water and returned, he threw it over her forcing her awake again gasping she looked around wildly he had to admit he liked that she flinched away from him when he moved her hair out of her face.
"Samantha I do not want to hurt you. Just tell me what I want to know…"
"What do you want to know?" Sam asked
"How are you alive?" he asked again
"I don't know, please if I knew I would tell you but I don't." Sam stated and he could see that she was pleading with him.
"I should have grabbed Phil."
"Why didn't you? Why me?" Sam asked
"Easiest convenience to get to."
"You would do this to Coulson? You were rookies together." Sam stated
"True but he was always Nick's favorite."
"You dislike the director?" Sam asked
"He is an idiot, thinks too small. He has all he needs to be the most powerful man but he doesn't take the next step. Take Burt and Kurt they were meant to be terminated…too powerful, but I saw opportunity where he did not."
"You are sounding a lot like hydra," Sam mumbled
"I was never loyal to Hydra. That was Pierce but you stopped them. I am simply a man wanting his fair share." Garret stated
"You were never loyal to SHIELD though." Sam stated
"They left me for dead."
"You're dying, that is why you want to know how I survived, how Phil survived."
"I started something great, I need to finish it…now that I am so close." He stopped talking and turned back to look at her once again taking her chin forcing her to look up at him. "She shouldn't be able to follow along with this conversation." Garret stated looking at Burt and Kurt behind him. That was when she smirked at him.
"You have other agents working for you, it won't be any scientists you can't stand them, other specialists? A strike team? Rumulow? I never liked him, Barey? No not his team, Sitwell you two were close…yes Sitwell and Rumulow is it his whole team or just him…whole team it is. Any higher ranking agents? Yes there is who? Blake? Chris? Gomez? Gomez okay who else…" she asked reading his expression honestly to her he was not very good at masking his surprise as he punched her across the face this made her laugh. "You don't have all your facts John, I didn't get out unscathed." Sam stated twisting her arm as it broke free of the restraints using that arm she tore her other restraint off punched John in the face she gripped the chair and threw it at Burt before kicking Kurt she then turned back to John. He was laughing…
"How do you know this is real?" he asked and Sam paused looking around the room before moving towards John again only to stop as she went to punch him. Was this real? Sam shrugged before punching him in the face she then took off running for the door. She had to find Tim and get them the hell out.
