Chapter 11

Parker held out his gun waiting to shoot. Skye was right behind him trying to be safe. The agent tried his best to keep his wife protected as she was to put the flash drive in the mainframe so the Trojan horse could be activated.

One guy came towards Parker with his fists clenched trying for the punch but was unsuccessful when Andrew shot him in the gut instantly. He didn't intend to shoot the guy first but instinct came over him from his previous mission.

Skye was able to find the slot for the flash drive after a few seconds. She placed it in and waited for it to begin the upload process. The hacker turned around for a brief second to see a Hydra agent coming towards him with the Berserker staff.

"Drew, watch out!" Skye yelled towards him.

Parker looked up from reloading his gun to find the staff coming towards him. He made a grab on it and immediately spun the Hydra agent around, shooting him with the gun in his other hand. When Hydra released the grip of the staff, Andrew felt a rush go through his body. He knew what the staff did but for some reason what he saw was different then what he had read.

It was a nice home. His first home away from San Diego and the academy. Parker felt safe being there as he stood in the entry way of it. He had a briefcase in hand but couldn't figure out why exactly. His father's flag was hung in hallway as it connected to what he could see was the kitchen.

Parker felt his feet move towards the flag. He couldn't remember the last time he had saw it after his father's funeral. Sara had kept it hidden away for awhile after Andrew went to the academy as it was too painful to look at.

Daniel Alexander Parker

Fallen but not forgotten

2004

Andrew ran his fingers across the metal that read his father's name. He could still remember his day stood still hearing the news from two marines who came to the door shortly after lunch. The agent was taken a back when he heard a squeal running towards him.

A little brown hair blue eyed boy was running towards him. He looked to only four but Parker knew instantly who it was by the smile on his face. He was looking at a boy who shared a smile with Jemma Simmons.

The boy was his baby they had lost back before he was even born in 2010. It had been a memory that Andrew hung on to for a while after everything happened. He would imagine what came for the two scientists if Jemma never lost it. He sometimes still wished he could do something about it as he felt like it was his fault even though it wasn't at all.

The little boy ran into his arms finding safety in his father's arms. He immediately burrowed his head into Andrew's neck and shoulder closing his eyes in the process as Parker walked towards the kitchen.

"Conor Daniel Leopold Parker, I thought I told you to wait until your father came into the kitchen first." Andrew heard a voice.

Parker looked over at the counter where he saw the girl he fell in love with at the academy. She wasn't angry with the little boy but instead she had a loving smile on her face.

"Jem." Andrew whispered before setting Conor on the counter.

"Hello there, sweetie."

Before Parker could do anything else, he felt the house shake. He was taken a back a moment as he tried to grab onto Conor. But that didn't happen, as the little boy disappeared along with Jemma and the house changed into his hotel room he stayed in during his six month mission.

The agent was instead holding on to a phone that said unknown number on the screen and gave the call duration.

"Skye has been shot by Ian Quinn. I'm so sorry, Andrew, your wife is dead." His aunt told him.

Parker threw the phone on the ground and immediately walked over to the desk. He had papers from the mission scattered on it but that soon went on the floor as he angrily cleared it. The agent then went to pick up a chair and then threw it towards the wall.

The chair was what activated something inside him as he went back to being in the basement of the barbershop.

"This ones for Conor and Skye." Parker said through his teeth as he took another Hydra agent out.

As it went on, Skye noticed the anger building up in her husband. She wanted to take the staff herself but knew she had to stay with the flash drive.

"May!" The hacker yelled.

The senior agent looked over and saw Skye pointing to her husband.

"Help Drew!"

Andrew took another swing at an agent before he was stopped by a force. He looked over to see agent May taking a hold of the Berserker staff.

"Let me help." She told him. "Let go."

He did what he was told and immediately dropped to the ground. Parker tried to control his breathing and looked around. He noticed that Trip was leaned up against the wall injured while Coulson was still shooting. The sci-specialist began to feel his eyes close.

"Drew, look at me. Come on, honey, look at me." He heard as someone was hitting his face lightly.

"Skye." Parker mumbled. "You're alive?"

"Of course I am sweetie."

"I missed you so much."

"I know you did." She said pulling his arm over her shoulder. "Let's get you out of here."

Skye lifted her husband up and brought him towards Coulson who had his hand out to help.

"May!" Coulson yelled toward the other senior agent. "Bring the house down!"

Before they knew it the rumble from the building began to come down.

Fitz was trying to fix an important piece so he could get the radio transmitter to work. He looked over at his best friend who was still sleeping soundly. When the pod had crashed, Fitz somehow broke his arm in the fall. Possibly from when he had Simmons fall on him to break her fall. The engineer didn't mind though as he wanted to make sure she was safe. Fitz thought of the rest of the team. Hopefully the tracker they set on the plane was going to be enough to find them. But for now they would have to wait. He and Simmons could think of something.

Both Skye and Coulson were still supporting Parker up when they got back to the jump jet. May had got the ramp open and ready for take off as everyone else got on. Once they were up in the air, it was set on autopilot and May got out of her seat to clean up a few of Trip's cuts.

Parker was still knocked out from when he got a hold of the Berserker staff. Skye wasn't too sure what he had meant when he questioned that she was alive.

Was his unpleasant memory from when he found out she could be dead? The hacker thought to herself.

It didn't last long for Parker to be knocked out from the staff though. He opened his eyes and took a look at his surroundings before putting his head in his hands. Skye watched her husband carefully along with Coulson. From the noises he was making, it sounded like he could be crying. Skye placed her hand on Parker's knee to let him know she was there.

"Drew." She said quietly.

Andrew looked up and saw his wife sitting right next to him. He took her hand and whispered something quietly to her.

"I love you."

Skye immediately unbuckled out of her seat and reached over to hug Parker tightly. The hacker was overjoyed that her husband was okay for now. It wasn't before long that Coulson was asking questions.

"Are you all right now, agent Parker?"

"Yes, sir." Andrew answered.

"Did you see anything?" Skye asked.

Parker nodded. "It was from when Maria told me you were dead."

"Is that all?"

"No, I saw Conor."

Before Skye could ask who Conor was, she heard a beep coming from near where Coulson was standing.

"What is that?"

Coulson was already looking it over. "It looks like FitzSimmons managed to tag the plane.

"That's good right?" May asked.

"It's in New Mexico but it seems they are not answering."

Parker and Skye both looked at each other with concerned faces. They both had one thing on their mind. Could it actually be?

"Sir." Andrew said quietly.

"No. We can't think about that right now."

"They may have been captured." Trip spoke up since he had been quietly trying to mange the pain from his cuts.

"Either way, they risked everything to put a tracker on that plane for us." Coulson paused. "Now we know exactly where Garrett is, and Skye can see what he's doing."

All the agents nodded. They just needed hope that FitzSimmons were still alive and doing okay.

When Simmons awoke, she found Fitz sitting right next to her with a sling around his arm. She had dreamt that she was with a little boy that had her smile but Andrew's eyes. The biochemist imagined it was the baby they both lost a few years ago. They never really established a name or anything since both were busy at the time to get the list down to a few, but she could remember hearing her say the little boy's.

"You looked very peaceful sleeping." Fitz told her. "Didn't want to wake you, but I'm glad your up."

"I had the strangest dream."

Fitz looked at her strangely and then held out his good arm.

"Stranger then being at the bottom of the ocean?"

Simmons nodded. "I dreamt of a four year old looking boy. He looked just like Andrew."

"The baby."

"What?"

"It would of been four or so by now if you had it, Jem."

Fitz was right. It had been getting close to four and a half years since her and Parker were going to be parents.

"His name was Conor."

"He had my name too didn't he? I remember you wanted to put mine with the baby's too if it was a boy."

"Conor Daniel Leopold Parker." The biochemist said sadly. "I haven't thought of it since before we left for Coulson's team."

"I wish we could have met him."

Silence filled the pod. Simmons sat up by the window and watched the sea creatures as they past. Both the scientists were not sure how they were going to get out of this mess.

"I tried to send out a distress code out but no ones listening." Fitz finally said breaking the silence.

"How far down do you think we are?" Simmons asked.

"At least 90 feet. Can't see the surface."

"And your arm?"

"Broken in two places."

"I thought we were dead, Fitz. Maybe that was why the dream happened?"

"We're so lucky." Fitz said ignoring the dream part. "And we don't have much supplies left."

"There's no way out is there?"

"We're going to die down here."

Simmons looked over at Fitz and situated herself to where they were siting side by side. They both watched the outside life hoping something was going to change.

Kind of a short chapter but this sets up for the next part. I have some cool ideas for the next chapter. I also changed a little bit how the Berserker staff would work. I thought maybe it would connect with Parker in a different way then it would for others. Eventually I have a plan to explain why that happens so everyone will have to watch out for that. Please leave a review and let me know. I'm curious to know what everyone thinks.
