Coulson walked into the room, causing the two to go silent. "hello Julia, how are you feeling?"
"hi coulson, Im not to fond of the ropes, but I'm fine besides that, Simmons is taking care of my fingers. So whats up?"
"I've come to talk to you about the videos" she sighed "fine."
"could you give us a few minutes." asked Coulson and Ward left.
Coulson Sat at ward's spot on the stool and said "Julia, i want to talk to you about the videos of your brother and sister."
"you can watch them"
"pardon?"
"i don't need a long conversation for you to convince me, but you can watch it. The ones that want to can too, but I'm telling you now, those who have trouble sleeping already, don't watch it."
"it's really that terrible?"
"it's a 10 year old girl and an 14 year old boy getting ripped apart, pumped strange fluid, cut into, all while their awake and screaming. You tell me if it's that terrible."
"Julia, there's one more thing."
"what is it?"
"they didn't send 2 videos. They sent 3"
That caught her attention.
"3?"
"yes, your sister's, your brother's"
"and mine. Alright New rules. The others can watch if they want to, but you are the only one that's allowed to watch mine. Dont ask questions, you're lucky I'm not making you destroy it. No putting it on shields data base or anything. And you will only tell the others thay there are only 2."
"I understand." Coulson walked to the door "do you want me to send ward back in?"
"sure. It'll be nice to think about something other then this."
"alright." and he left.
Ward opened the door, but Skye walked up to him. "ward, could i speak to you for a second." he hesitated, Julia knew he didn't know what to do, so she answered "what are you waiting for, it's not like I'm going anywhere. I'll still be tied up when you get back." ward then closed the door and Julia could just slightly see Skye talking ti ward. She struggled but managed to slip off her ring and heard what the girl was saying.
"I've been thinking, and coulson's made me realize that I have been a bit tuff on you lately and I wanted to say is, well... What I'm trying to say is, I'm ready to give you a second chance."
"really?"
"yes. But if you pull anything like that again, i will go in your sleep and cut off your tongue." then she left.
Ward walked in. "an apology isn't complete without a death threat ag the end."
"so you heard that?"
"you mean the part about her cutting off your tongue, no, I didn't hear any of that." she said sarcastically followed by a short laugh. "Will you never learn that i can hear thru doors." Ward then heard a small clinging hit the floor. "dammit, could you pick that up for me please?" she asked.
Ward bent down and found her ring. He looked at it as he set back down. "is there a story with the three different colored stones?"
"I wouldn't really call it a story. It's our birth stones. The Crystal blue is my brother's birthday in December, the emerald is my sister's birthday in May, and the light purple is my birthday in june. It's so I can remember the memories, and so I know that I'm alive because of them."
Ward slipped the ring back on her finger and they just talked for a while.
Simmons came in later and unwrapped Julia's hand, rewrapping her fingers individually. She told her that they were heading well and that she should be fine. "what about the serum? Do you know when you'll be able to untie me?"
"no, we still haven't found an answer yet. But to do it faster, i would have to take a blood sample. I know you don't like needless, but it would help the process so much."
"ok. I can't hit anyone while I'm tired down anyway."
Simmons came back with a small syringe. "ready?" and Julia nodded. Simmons stuck the needle in her arm and Julia had the memory of Slite putting a needle in her arm, but this time, she shook off the memory and let Simmons take some blood. She soon took the needle out, said "thank you." and left. "that wasn't to bad" ward stated. "ya, guess."
