Hello again! Sorry for procrastinating so long! This is Skye's chapter, but not my favorite so far. I like Skye, but she's a little hard to put in a story for me and still be on character. I've decided that I must get 3 or more reviews to continue, so just say something! I take constructive criticism, so you can give me suggestions. Looking at the previews, I think Skye really needs a break. I mean, she's crying in what looks like a bathroom! In the scene were Simmons said Triplett could be trusted, Fitz's face was awesome. He's got to be jealous! Remember: review (more than once if necessary)! Note: I don't know anything about hacking, so the information is almost certainly wrong.
Skye had never felt more pain in her life.The man named Vladimir, whom she assumed to be Russian, had put the screwdriver-like tool against her head. It sent a pulse into her body, and she shrieked in agony. For what felt like centuries, the pulses kept coming, one by one until the man finally stepped away.
Skye would later be told that only six, red pulses came from the YAЖC, and she only screamed for eight seconds. Skye took in oxygen, and let out carbon dioxide, but she didn't feel alive. Every pain receptor in her brain had been stimulated, and Ward was sure she was dead. However, she used all her strength and looked up at the men.
"Go to hell, you bastards," Skye said, glaring into the black holes that the men had for eyes. The men looked at each other and smiled. Ward frowned, worried their captors had more in store for the team.
"Well, that was only one question that won't be answered. You've given us lots of information, though. Everyone has a weakness, and if your's isn't physical pain, it's psychological. You two may be hardened by training, but are your friends? If you won't give us the answers, we'll ask them. As strong or loyal as you think they are, we can have them on their knees begging for death. Oh, we'll oblige them, but only after they've given us SHIELD's every secret. Can you live with that guilt?" With a wicked smile, both men turned to leave the room. "If you change your minds about giving us the information, just scream. You appear to be very good at it, Skye." With that, they left the small, dark enclosure.
Out in the hallway, the men stopped outside the door.
"We will wait a couple of minutes, and if they don't give us the information by then, I doubt they ever will. Either way, we'll go interrogate the two scientists next. They'll give us information and research Agents Ward and Skye could never understand. Hail HYDRA!" Vladimir exclaimed.
"Hail HYDRA!" the other man saluted.
Skye looked at Ward, a tear forming in her eye. She knew that the scientists couldn't handle interrogation, but Fitzsimmons would hate her if she gave up secrets on their behalf. Unable to speak, Skye simply thought. Ideas buzzed through her mind, but none of them would get everyone out alive.
The shock the torture device gave her brain must have ignited some sort of change. Skye's mind analyzed what the men had said, and looked for patterns. A part of her brain was activated, and she could now clearly see patterns, not only in speech, but everything. May favored faking a punch with her right side first, but then attacked through her left side. The Fibonacci sequence in nature Simmons had tried to explain made sense. All the patterns Skye had seen but never recognized were made apparent, but she had no idea what they meant.
"Stop!" Skye shouted in frustration. All the thoughts made focusing on one hard. Ward looked at her in surprise, then worry.
"Are you okay?" he asked. Skye apologized and explained the sudden revelation. Only one idea came to Ward's mind. Skye's 0-8-4 power had kicked into full gear. Somehow she had been using the ability to recognize patterns all along: for hacking. Now she was much more powerful… and dangerous.
Again, I'm sorry for the long wait. For those of you still reading, I really need reviews, okay! I'm also glad that people from the international community have read my story! Thank you to my guest reviewer from France! Fitzsimmons is next!
