An hour later, Julia had walked into the lounge room where triplett, bobby and Mac where. "hey, you feeling better?" asked triplett. "ya, a bit. Sorry about that."
"don't worry about it, we understand." answered Bobby.
"did you watch the videos?" she asked quietly.
"no, coulson didn't want us to see it before talking to you." answered triplett.
"alright, well I'd better go see him."
"ok, we'll see you later" said Mac as Julia walked up the stairs.
"poor girl, I hope she's alright." said Bobby.
She walked up unto coulson office, knocked and watched in. "agent coulson?" but there was no answer. She stepped in and looked at the little objects that were glued down on the shelves. She then looked at his desk and saw the tablet with the picture of a video on it. The picture of her sister, a video waiting to get played.
As she looked at it, the second spider creaped in under the door. It crawled up to the desk. Julia thought she saw something, she slipped off her ring and listened. She heard taping, looked around but still couldn't see anything. "hello?" she said but nothing happened.
As she turned her head, the spider jumped on her neck and stabbed its stinger in her neck. She tried clawing it off, but the spider injected a blue liquid in her neck which caused her to stand up straight and stop resisting. She moved everything off coulson's desk and scratched at the wood.
Downstairs, coulson had walked into the lab with May. "Simmons. What's the urgent news?" "sir, we took a closer look at the spider and saw that it was remote controlled."
"yes, we already knew that" said May
"but, it also had another compartment with blue liquid. It's was a controlling serum."
"how much damage could that do?"
"to a normal person, it would be harder to get controlled. Maybe a few images or gestures. But for someone who is unstable... It could take over the mind."
Coulson realized what she was saying. He almost ran upstairs. "where's Julia?" he asked triplett, Bobby and Mac. "she went upstairs to your office, why?" he didn't answer and ran upstairs, followed by triplett and Mac.
He opened the door and found Julia scratching at his desk. Her nails bloodied by the splinters and how fast she was moving. Her head was shaking but she just starred at the desk. Coulson went up to her and grabbed her arm.
As he pulled it away, she screamed and continued to scratch. Coulson saw that it looked like letters then the symbols of the spiders of the world. "Julia! Julia you need to stop!" he yelled, trying to pull her away, but she resisted. Triplett and Mac ran to hold her down. They pulled her away and she was surprisingly strong. She kicked and tries to continue scratching the air while screaming.
Ward had run up with May and saw her struggling. Ward walked up, took out his icer and shot her in her head. Her body went limp in the arms of the two men holding her back. May walked up and pulled the spider from the side if her neck, showing it to Coulson. "bring her to simmons, but tie her down, we don't want her to start again." coulson ordered. The two brought her downstairs and into the patient room where Skye was held when she was dying.
Julia grumbled and slowly opened her eyes. Pain shot thru her fingers and to her arms. She looked around and saw Ward looking at something in his hands, his back facing her. She tried moving but couldn't and slammed back on the bed. Her wrists were tied together and to the top of the bed and the sane was with her ankles and the bottom of the bed.
The bed was hard and the fall made a slight thud, which Ward heard and turned around. "so your finally awake"
"ya. What happened anyway. It feels like I out my fingers thru a wood chipper"
"close. We found you scratching at coulson's desk."
"that's why my fingers hurt. Do you know what I was doing?"
"you don't remember anything?"
"no. What happened?"
"well, good news is, we found the second spider."
"great, let me guess. That's what make me all wack?"
"yes."
"what did I carve out?"
Ward brought what he was looking at and put it over her head so she could see it. It was a picture of what was on the desk. It said in messy letters and splotchs of blood 'i am coming for you' and the symbols of the spider over the planet was carved on the bottom, only missing a few details since she was interrupted.
Julia closed her eyes. "this is just great. First my friend gets killed, I see my life long stalker, a video of my siblings getting experimented on, punched a car and now I probably damaged all of my fingers to carve something that someone controlled me to do."
"actually, not all of your fingers are damaged." Simmons said as she walked in the room with a tablet.
"hi Simmons."
"hello Julia. So, I looked at your hands and it looks like you mostly used your index and your middle finger when you were scratching, so they're the most hurt but the rest are only slightly damaged. But I've bandaged your entire hand, just for today so it won't get infected before I wrap them individually."
"and how long do I have to stayed tied like this?"
"coulson said until we are certain that you don't have anymore serum in your system."
"got a time frame?"
"maybe a few days."
"ok. Well, atleast I won't have top worry about anything. But how am I gonna eat? And what if my nose is itchy or something."
"that's where I come in. I'm here to help you with anything that I dont deam completely insane. We're all gonna take turns" answered ward.
"why do I feel like I'm being babysat"
"because you basically are." he answered. "anyway, I will back to check on you I'm a few hours" Simmons said before leaving the room. "bye." answered Julia.
Ward sat down on the stool next to her. "so how did you guys get me tied down without me noticing or waking up?"
"I shot you in the head with an icer"
"what is it with you and shooting me in the head?"
"well if you weren't as insane, maybe I wouldn't have to as often." Julia laughed, making her stomach lift a bit, but she was reminded of her bounds.
She sighed, pulling on the ropes. "this sucks" she stated. Ward smiled
"it could be worst."
"how could it possibly be worst? I'm tied up on a bed"
"it could be rapists that tied you up and not us."
"true"
Skye was in the conference room, watching the screen of ward talking with Julia. Coulson walked in and she said "I've never seen him this calm before. Not even when he was still a part of are team."
"when he was still a part of are team?" Skye realized her word trip. "that's not what I ment"
"no, it's exactly what you ment. And I understand, Ward has done unforgettable things, but I have seen a change in him the last few days. "
"ya, he doesn't hide in his room as much."
"more then that. He actually participates and is trying to talk to everyone. All because he finally found someone to talk to, someone that will talk back and see him as he is now and not for what he was before. Someone he can care about." they looked back at the screen and saw the two laughing. Skye looked down. "I'm going to talk to her, but remember what I said." and he left.
