I woke with a start. My dreams had been plagued by the black hole as usual. I looked around, taking note of my surroundings. I appeared to be in a cell of sorts, cuffed to a bed.
Fan-freaking-tastic.
Then, like a punch in the gut, it hit me, and I remembered what happened.
"Crap!" I muttered to myself silently. I looked around, trying to find some means of escape. 'No way out around me, nothing below, like a sewer, buuuut... Aha!'. I looked up to see a large oak branch hanging roughly 10ft above my head.
"I won't ask again, put your hands up and get on the ground" said the blonde woman who threatened me earlier.
Perfect.
I put my hands in the air and bended my knees making it look like I was going down. I began slowly inch towards the ground, buying myself more time to think of a plan. Half way down, I sprung up grabbing onto the large tree branch and proceeded to climb further towards the sky. I reached the top, and was wondering what to do next when suddenly, I felt an icy cold prick on the back of my neck before plunging into darkness.
Ok sooo, I'm not dead, not complaining or anything, but how am I alive? And how the HELL did they get me out of that tree?! Did I fall? As these questions swarmed my mind, my eyes glanced over to the left corner of the room. Security cameras watched me like large, metal flies on the wall. 'This day is turning out just perfectly,' I thought miserably.
I needed to calm down. 'Song. Yes think of a song. Ummmm. Ok let's hope these cameras don't have audio feed. How does it go again? Oh right.'
"When the sky's are looking down my dear and your heart's lost all it's hope. After Dawn there will be sunshine and all the dust will go. The skies are clear my darling, now it's time for you to let go. I won't be there to wake you in the morning, with tea and toast" I sang this and tried to remember the next verse but my thoughts were interrupted by the door opening. The blond woman who threatened me earlier walked in with two smaller, ginger haired people close behind. One boy, one girl. Twins perhaps?
The tall blonde woman held the passive expression on her face and asked
" Are you ok? No pains?" I mirrored her calm face and said
"I'm fine. But one quick question."Who the hell SHOT me?" I blurted out. The two "twins" started laughing under their breath while tall-blonde-and-evil formed a small smirk.
"Did you shoot me?" I asked the blonde angrily.
"No. Agent Hunter did. He was also idiot also didn't manage to catch you when you fell," she replied, actually smiling!
"Oh. Well that explains how I got out of the... WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN I FELL!?" I asked in shock. How am I still alive, and unhurt for that matter? Before I could speak she leaned over and undid my handcuffs, saying
"I'm agent Morris, but most people call me Bobbi. Your name?" I weighed my options, and decided it would be best to cooperate.
"Echo" I stated simply.
"And a last name?" Bobbi inquired.
"Don't have one" Bobbi raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. Making the most of the silence, I asked, pointing to the twins,
"And you two are? Are you twins?" The girl started laughing and stated in a British accent,
"No, we're not twins, or even related. I'm Simmons"
"Fitz" said the boy in a Scottish accent
"Well now that we have introductions out of the way, would you mind explaining the neon colored elephant in the room?" Bobbi gestured at my back.
'Ohhhh crap... My wings must have come out when I got hurt! Well, this will fun to explain...
