20 minutes later, Mac came in with the bowl and a roll of paper towel. "here you go."
"thank you." he set the bowl in the table then pulled a book from his pocket. "coulson told me to give you this. It looks like a good book, we don't have meny selections here." she took the book and passed her hands over the cover. 'fablehaven'.
"thank you, this is perfect." she said while placing the book on the table. "so why the bowl and paper towel?"
"I eh... I wanted to wash my face."
"and you didn't ask for a real towel."
"no, I-I'm used to paper towel."
"alright." Mac said with walking towards the door. "you know how you can tell if someone is lying. Well it's not hard to tell when your lying. If you need anything, just say it." he said while leaving.
He went upstairs and found Skye watching the monitor. "what do you think she needs it for?" "Im not sure, but she doesn't want us to know." he said while walking away. She watched as Julie sat opposite from her and did very little movement, blocking the view of the bowl or the paper towel.
It had gotten late and Julie held up something to the camera. Skye zoomed in and saw that it wrote 'sweet dreams whoever's watching'. She put down the pad of paper and lied down on the floor with her jacket over her eyes.
Ward went in a few minutes later to take away the bowl when he saw that the water had taints of red and the paper towels had it on them aswell. He looked at her sleeping on the ground with her arms wrapped around herself, and saw a piece of paper towel sticking out of her shirt.
He walked over and looked closer to see that it had the she red on it. That's when he realized that it was blood. He shook her awake. "what?" she grumbled. "your hurt"
"no I'm not." she said half asleep.
"then what is this?" he said while reaching his hands to her shirt. She slapped it away. "hey, off limits. And I told you, I'm fine." and she turned to her other side. He put his arms under her and picked her up.
"Hey! What are you doing?" she said while being transported. "I'm taking you to Simmons" "but it's late" she whined.
"It's 10 o'clock" he said.
"what ever, it's hard to tell time when your shoved in a small room."
"can't your hear the clock?"
"listen to just the ticking if the clock and tell me if you can tell what time it is." she closed her eyes again, felling tired again.
Ward walked into the lab and Simmons looked at him with Julie in his arms and thought the worst. "is she..." she started.
"no Simmons, I'm not dead. Casanova over here dragged me down here. He thinks I'm hurt." "you are." ward argued.
"I'm also tired." he set her down on the table and Simmons came up to her. She pulled down her shirt, exposing the red paper-towel. "he's right. You are hurt. Why did you not tell us that you were hurt?"
"because it doesn't bother me." Simmons took off the red patch and saw a big gash just under her collarbone.
"how could that not hurt?" she asked.
"oh it does sting, but I've been thru worst."
They looked at her. "don't ask cause I won't answer. Plus I didn't think that I should bother you guys with that. Thought you had more important things to deal with" Simmons got out her first aid kit and said "alright, I can fix it, but I can't get to it if your shirt is in the way."
Julia looked at ward and twirled her finger, indicating him to turn around. "close your eyes. and don't peak cause i'll know if you saw cause your heart will beat faster. Don't feel bad, it's like that for every guy." Ward closed his eyes as Julia pulled off her shirt and put on a black bandeau that Simmons handed her, covering her chest and bra. "ok, you can turn around now. And good job, your heart didn't race. So ether you didn't look or your just really gay."
"oh I think it's option 2" said triplett as he walked in.
"look at that, its are brave soldier."
"triplett's fine." he said.
"so, your getting patched up to?"
"yup, so what's happened to you?"
"got shot, you?"
"don't know. Think I got cut. Could have been when those jerks shoved me in a van."
He took a closer look and said "how did you not know that that was there?"
"I was kinda thinking of other things. Plus I didn't think I needed to tell you that I was hurt cause I didn't want to bother you and I could take care if it, hence the water and paper towel."
Simmons continued cleaning then she wrapped it with a bandage and let Julie put her shirt back on, where she kept the bandeau underneath. "ok well I am going back to sleep. Good night everyone."
"I'll come and check on your wound in the morning." said Simmons.
"alright just not to early." she said joking.
She walked to the door of the lab then turned on her heels. "can someone show me back to my little cage, I was kinda half asleep when I came here."
"sure." said triplett and they walked away. They walked into the room and he said "ok well if that's all, then good night."
"actually, would you guys have an extra pillow and blanket?" he smiled and answered " ya, let me check." A few minutes later, he came back with a pillow and a warm fluffy blanket. "thank you." she said while taking it and laying it on the floor as triplett left.
As everyone started going to sleep or getting ready for bed, May went up to Coulson's office. "coulson, I need to talk to you about the girl."
"what is it may? I know know that you don't like new people aboard but she was there when the spiders were."
"exactly. What if she's lying, what it she's just pretending to be hunted so she can get information from us. It wouldnt be the first time that someone lies to us." she grumbled the last part.
"is this about Julia or about Ward? Look, I know you dont like having him on this plane but he has proven himself and I am willing to give him another chance."
"but.."
"it is my decision and if you have a problem with Ward, you'll just have to sort it out or to push it back. Understood?"
"yes sir."
She said before leaving.
