NCIS and SHIELD Divided c32
It took them another six days to finally track down Garret. They did this by following Rumulow who lead them to an airfield in Georgia. They also had to come up with a way to stop Garret from controlling the enhanced, they learnt from Sam that he had implanted a safety cause by having an implant in their neck and ear, this way they would always be on call. Skye had to find a way to stop the signal along with Jemma and Fitz's help. Maria led the team with her pack and NCIS. Bobbie was the one to find Sam strapped to a table as Ellie went with Gibbs and located McGee.
Bobbie moved around the table untying Sam who at this point was shaking and watching her with caution as she did it. So far she had not said anything whenever Bobbie touched her she flinched even though Bobbie was talking to her reassuring her that she was now safe, even using code phrases for their pack was not helping. She went as far as using the bond but that just made Sam freak out more. Once she was free Sam remained lying down she did not move. Bobbie helped her sit up and placed a blanket around her she went to step back but Sam held onto her clinging onto her.
"You're safe now Sam, he can't hurt you anymore." Bobbie whispered she was hugging her and whispered this into her hair as Sam nestled herself closer not letting Bobbie go even though she could still feel her shaking in her arms. Gun fire could be heard and at each shot Sam seemed to flinch Bobbie only seemed to hold onto her tighter. May entered the room and Sam freaked out only stopping when Bobbie grabbed her attention forcing her to look away from May.
"Jemma's on her way." May informed Bobbie it being clear something was not right with Sam. When Jemma came into the room she tried moving close to check Sam over but Sam tried moving away from her, she was gripping onto Bobbie who winced under the grip she was using.
"Jemma is here to help." Bobbie stated but Sam shook her head trying to shuffle back her hands moved to protect her midsection. Bobbie shared a look with May, she was concerned. Sam had shuffled back on the table so that she was now pressed up against Bobbie who made the signal for Jemma to stop. She wrapped her arms around her protectively kissing her on the head. Sam was watching Jemma and May keeping her back against Bobbie, May could tell that Sam was on alert but also afraid and found herself getting angry at John for making her fear them. Maria entered the room, Sam couldn't hold her gaze and she also seemed to flinch when Maria went to take a step towards her. Maria could see that she was tense, she was still shaking like she was waiting for them to attack her or for something else to happen. Maria could tell that part of Sam thought this was not real, that she was expecting pain at any second. Maria knew this was from lack of sleep and the delusions she was forced into that she was trying to decipher what was real.
"You looking a little lost there." Maria stated making Sam look at her, this was the first thing that Maria ever told her when they first met, it was a code they came up with that no one knew about. Maria was waiting for her to say the response hoping she would say it without being prompted.
"I am exactly where I need to be." She mumbled before looking back down Maria went to take a step towards her but Sam seemed to flinch. So Maria stopped looking from her to Bobbie who looked even more upset but she was being strong for Sam.
"You're going to be alright Sam." Maria told her before making her sleep, they would get her back home then work on helping her. Clint came in and carried her out of the room he had finished securing the enhanced on the premise he was hoping to come across John but it seemed like he was not here. Coulson was with Skye and a team of agents trying to find everything they could on where he could have gone. Maria was just grateful they got Sam back.
"Did you come across Burt Sterford or Kurt…"
"No and no sign of the teleporter either. We came across 8 enhanced, they are detained and secure."
"Any information?" Maria asked
"Coulson is going through that now." Clint stated so Maria sent May to them she was keeping Jemma with her as they made it out they came across Gibbs, DiNozzo, Ellie, Ziva and McGee. He was between DiNozzo and Gibbs were supporting him, he looked to be roughed up but his wounds would heal. He was being responsive to his team, smiling at something agent DiNozzo stated, Maria shared a look with Gibbs who gave her a nod before heading for the exit. Ellie looked from Gibbs to Sam who was in Clint's arms.
"Gibbs?" Ellie asked and he turned to look at her than to Sam and nodded
"Is she ok?" McGee asked
"She will be." Maria replied, she knew what Sam went through will be tough to overcome but she would not have to do it alone, her pack will get her through this that Maria was sure on.
Sam woke up, surprised that she did not have any nightmares in fact it was rather a good dream, she remembered Bobbie…she felt a presence shift beside her making her turn to look at Bobbie. She was no longer tied to a table she was in her bed at the pack house, Bobbie was next to her close enough for comfort but not touching her.
"Is this real?" Sam asked pulling her legs closer to her chest she was happy to see she was dressed in her comfy pjs.
"Am I a fan of Star wars?" Bobbie asked back but through the link this made Sam smirk
"You came to get me." Sam stated
"Was there any doubt?"
"Garrets minions gave me pause. I'm sorry." Sam stated she was holding her arm considering that her hand was off. "You took my hand."
"Garret broke it, Fitz is…" Bobbie stopped seeing Sam tense at the mention of Fitz. "We didn't stop looking, what happened to you…"
"Don't, I know what you are going to say…I-I just can't hear it right now. I will get over this…I just don't want to be around them at the moment…the things they made me see. I can't face them."
"I'm moving closer…is that alright?" Bobbie asked, Sam still would not meet her gaze she was fiddling with her clothes but she nodded her head. So Bobbie moved so she was sitting on the bed stopping once she had her feet off the ground. Giving Sam enough space, if she wanted her she would have to move to her.
"You kept dying." Sam mumbled her voice broke as she said it. "Clint killed you, May killed you, N-Nat killed you over and over…it was so real…so real."
"I am right here."
"I felt your death Bobbie, I felt it. I don't even know if this is real."
"Yes you do. You know this is real, your wolf knows it. You are home." Bobbie stated how she really wanted to reach over and pull Sam into her embrace but knew she had to wait, Sam had to close the distance not her.
"How long?" Sam asked after several minutes of silence Bobbie thought she was going to close off for good.
"Nine days." Bobbie replied
"Nine?" Sam asked
"Technically it has been ten, you slept the whole day. We just took you off an iv, you were dehydrated and we had to give you antibiotics to fight pneumonia. You'll be on them for the next 7 days."
"I was naked?"
"I know. They didn't…" Bobbie couldn't bring herself to ask, Jemma had run a rape kit it came back clear but she was gone 9 days.
"I don't know what was real or not…I ca-can't answer that." Sam stated pulling her legs closer to her. "They broke me." Sam whispered
"Not all of you, the good thing about broken things is that they can be fixed. I am right here Sam. You are not alone." Bobbie stated
"Thought you were going to say that I am not broken."
"Would you have believed me?" Bobbie asked and Sam shook her head before moving over to her she ended up leaning into her letting Bobbie hug her.
"Did you…did you see?"
"Not everything…Sam I hate to ask, but did you find anything more on Cruss and Quin?"
"Somethings coming…he had a plan and wanted to be around for it to happen. Garret's dying. He wants the Avengers gone and the Director he has a grudge with him…it will have to be soon though." Sam replied "I should have gotten more but after Garret figured out what I was doing…he kept pretty tight lipped. My expertise is not interrogation."
"You still held your own, you did get good intel."
"At what cost…nine days?" Sam mumbled still not believing that it was nine days.
"You should get some more sleep." Bobbie stated but Sam shook her head afraid that if she fell asleep she would wake up back there. "I won't leave you. I promise, when you wake up I will still be here." Bobbie promised her she knew that Sam was exhausted still and could use some more sleep.
"I can't." Sam replied and Bobbie could feel that she was still tense even as she held her as she leaned into her, Bobbie wrapped her arms around her just hugging her but Sam took no notice of it she was starring off into space.
"Okay then let's try a shower." Bobbie stated moving but Sam grabbed her arm stopping her she was rigid and stiff. "A shower then some food, I will even make you a hot chocolate the way you like it, with ice cream and marshmallows."
"Jelly tip?" Sam asked
"Jelly tip." Bobbie agreed
"The others…I can't…"
"You don't have to talk to them." Bobbie stated she knew that at the moment Maria and Natasha were the only ones here they had Wanda on standby if things escalated but she was hoping that it wouldn't. Reluctantly Sam agreed but did not let Bobbie go and as soon as they got off the bed she went on alert.
