Chapter 41
Ward stood by the backdoor to the building they were holding Skye in. Things were in the work, and everyone was in position. This was his one and only chance to save Skye. He couldn't let her go through that pain again, that so desperate pain she had experienced. He had to save her before that happened.
Ward swept Simmons key card over the door, hoping that it still worked even now. The door clicked, and Ward takes a breath, coming through the door. The key card worked now, but how much longer now was, he wasn't sure.
Ward gets in the building, and prepares his ICER. He knew that things would work out, and that as long as everything went as planned, they could save Skye.

Simmons wakes up in a white room. Raina stood by the door. "I really don't understand why someone so brilliant would be choosing that thing, over science."
Simmons bites her lip, feeling the handcuffs having been put on her. "She's not a thing, or a specimen. She's Skye, and she's my friend." Simmons defends. "I don't care that she's not human, all I care about is saving her."
Raina scowls. "But think of what you're missing!" Raina, walks closer to her. "Skye could be the answer to cures for the common cold, and so many other things."
Jemma frowns. "You're lying, and your chance to win me over won't work. Skye doesn't hold that in her DNA, or I would have found it."
"Well a girl can try one last time, but the possibilities are endless with the specimen." Raina just smirks, bending down to look Jemma in the eye. "Your right, Skye doesn't hold anything like that. What she holds is, much, much better." Raina rises. "And now you'll be helping us find it, in a very different way."
Raina walks out the door, leaving Simmons alone in that room. "Please hurry." Simmons mumbles. "Please." Simmons looks at the button in her jacket pocket. She had faith in her friends. She had faith they could save both her, and Skye.

Fitz and Triplett walk in through the front door. A few guards stop them as they come in. "Halt, what are you two doing? Only people with authorized access can come in here." Fitz and Triplett pull the gasmasks over their faces. "What are you…." Fitz pulls out an air bomb of a semi toxic gas. The room starts filling with smoke, and people start coughing. Fitz and Triplett make their way through the crowd, while Fitz grabs a key card out of someone's pocket. Using it to get in the elevator, the two move to the floor Simmons instructed Skye to be on.
The elevator doors open, and Fitz and Triplett get out, hiding behind a wall and pulling off their gasmasks. "You know what to do?" Triplett asks Fitz. Fitz bites his lip.
"No, Trip we have both Ward, May and Hunter going for Skye, I'm going after Simmons." Triplett just shrugs his shoulders back.
"I understand, I'll go to the control room by myself." Just than the alarms go on. "Darn, the key cards will be useless now, guess we have to make this count." Triplett extends his hand to Fitz for a fist bump.
Fitz takes it like a handshake. "Good luck." He offers, as they both head in different directions. Fitz look at the device showing where Simmons is, he was ready to go save and find her.

Bobbi walks over to look at the view out Ian's window. "It's quite pretty." She compliments.
"Well this is my building, so I do deserve the best view." He wraps his hand around Bobbi's waist. She has to choke back her disgust. "I've heard that you're pretty spectacular yourself."
Bobbi turns around, and brings her finger over his chin. "Before we get to that, I want to know more about this 0-8-4 girl." Bobbi walks towards Quinn's desk. "Gosh, I thought she was annoying from the start, so it's nice knowing that she's not even human. But how did you even find that out?"
Quinn frowns and fixes his tie. "The girl was discovered in China as a baby, your organization—Hydra, was posing as Shield as it is now, to go recover the girl. She you see had a special gift that I knew I had to get my hands on." Quinn smiles to himself, as if remembering. "Of course the real Shield agents involved in the mission got in the way. And the girl escaped from my clutches."
"How'd you get her back?"
"Money." Quinn answers honestly. "I took orphans who fit the description and age and narrowed them down to one girl." Bobbi's eyes go wide. "Of course it cost millions, possibly billons. Along with all the illegal work with it, and when we finally find her and are so close to discovering her secret she's gone from us."
Bobbi sits atop his desk. "How can you be sure it's Skye?" Bobbi asks him.
"I've had the best scientist look at her over and over, and through many experiments we saw that it was indeed her." He rolls his shoulders back. "Besides, that night changed everything and if we had any doubts before, they were exposed in that fire."
"The laboratory fire that she escaped during?" Bobbi remembers from the files she'd read.
"Oh we covered it up and said it was a laboratory fire, but what it actually was, was the demonstration we needed. What she'd done as a baby when Shield was first sent to find her." Bobbi arches her eyebrows, confused.
"I don't understand. Can she control fire or something?"
Ian Quinn just laughs. "It's something much, much better than that." Ian taps the end of his desk. "She has the ability to give."
Oooo theories from the last line anyone? I'd love to hear what you think Ian Quinn means by 'to give'! Mostly just a setting up chapter , but reviews are appreciated.
