Thank you guys for your reviews and feedback! It means a lot to me. I'm not entirely sure what's going to happen next so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I should be doing homework, but instead I'm here. Procrastination at its best.
It had been hours since Ward had dropped his facade and revealed his true treacherous self. Skye was still in the same position she was in when Ward left. She went through the last few months in her head, Simmons and the alien virus, Coulson being taken by Centipede, Quinn shooting her. He had been there for all of that. He fought for all of them. A Hydra Agent wouldn't of fought so hard. It didn't make any sense. We were just his mission. His orders were to get us to trust him. She thought sadly, He didn't really care about us. She desperately wanted this whole ordeal to be a dream. No, a nightmare. A very realistic nightmare. She had no idea how much worse it could get.
Finally Skye heard the wall move as the door opened once again. She sprung into action, ready to fight off her attackers. She kicked high and punched hard, but it only succeeded in making her kidnappers mad. One pulled her roughly by her hair while two others slapped restraints on her wrists behind her. Once theyhad her secured, they called for a General Barned outside the door to enter. Another man walked in, Skye assumed he was the General, the one calling the shots.
"Are you ready to comply?" His voice was cold and sharp, Skye winced before responding,
"Bite me." The General smiled, as though he expected that to be her answer.
"Against my better judgement, I'm giving you one last opportunity to help me achieve what I need willingly. Should you choose to comply, you would be sure to be rewarded. Failure to comply...well lets hope we don't get to that."
"Bite. Me." Skye replied slowly, looking straight into his jet black eyes.
"Very well. You will be taught about what happens to those who don't comply."
The guards dragged her kicking and screaming out of the room and into the hall. Outside, Ward stood watching the scene with a bemused look in his eye. As soon as she was dragged close enough, Skye took the opportunity to give him a death glare and spit in his face. She was immediately rewarded with a burst pain on her cheek as one of the guards slapped her.
"You should behave," Grant said, "This isn't even the best part."
They dragged her into another room, this one larger and well lit, with several doors leading out into other corridors. In the middle there sat a shiny metal table with a large chair on its right. The table was strewn with an assortment of medical tools, none of which Skye could really recognize. She expected to be led to chair, to prepare the unavoidable torture they were about to put her through. To her surprise they led her toward the wall parallel to the chair. They attached her restraints to a little chain link attached to the wall and forced her to her knees. Skye allowed herself to relax as she tried to guess what exactly the guards were going to do to her as they disappeared into one of the doorways.
"Now what? Last I checked, moving people from one room to another wasn't exactly an effective way of getting people to comply." General Barnes smirked and moved closer to Skye.
"You have no idea what is going to happen do you?" He took another few steps forward, "You still believe you can walk out of someone can come save you." the General's face was less than an inch away from her face, Skye could smell his aftershave. "You're wrong."
The guards came barreling back into the room.
"Let me go you neanderthals!" Skye recognized the voice of her favorite engineer. She allowed herself a moment to embrace the relief that Fitz was alive, before she began to connect the pieces. No, they wouldn't
General Barnes smiled when he saw the panic that crossed over Skye's face as she realized what they were going to do.
"Being as talented as you are, none of our hackers have been able to crack the security protocol you created protecting your teams intel. You seem to be the only one who can get in. Since you won't help willingly, its been decided that we find a little...incentive... for you. One by one, your team will suffer if you don't comply -"
"DON'T DO IT SKYE! WE CAN HANDLE IT! DON'T GIVE THEM WHA-" A swift punch to the gut left Fitz gasping for air, effectively cutting off his interruption. Skye struggle against her restraints. Her anger rising as she saw Fitz in pain. General Barnes nodded to the guards to continue. Skye screamed as the guards began hurling punches and kicks at the poor engineer. Before long, Fitz gave a little moan as he succumbed to his pain and fell unconscious. Skye turned to look at Ward, to her surprise, he looked uncomfortable with how badly Fitz was beaten. The look only lasted a moment, but it gave Skye hope. Maybe he does care about us. Just a little. Maybe he will come to his senses.
A flood of tears fell down Skye's cheeks as she struggled against her bonds to try to reach Fitz. She sobbed as the guards untied him from the chair and dragged his still body from the room. What am I going to tell Simmons? She thought, I just let them beat her partner within inches of death. The guards were backk, but they were there for Skye this time. They unhooked her from the wall and walked her, defeated but alive back to her cell. She managed to look Ward in the eye as she passed him. She wanted him to know she was not broken. Not yet.
So let me know what you think so far and give me some suggestions as to how you think I should go on, if I should?
