Chapter 2

"So are we clear on what I'm asking you to do?" Ward asked Coulson slowly, trying to make him understand, which he had failed to do for the past hour and a half. "You extract her on my word and you'll all be safe. I promise you that." He repeated for what felt like the sixth time since he'd been in the room. "She asks any questions you think could be bad for her you don't answer." Ward told him.

Coulson nodded with a frown, still processing everything he'd been told by the younger Agent. "Got it. You know the chances of her accepting all of this are slim to none right?" He asked and leaned back in his leather chair. "I can't help you out of the mess you're creating. But I will keep her safe." He promised before opening the door from his desk.

"That's all I ask." He nodded before getting up, knowing that the opening of the door was his cue to leave. "Thank you sir." Was what he said as he was leaving, leaving Coulson on his own once more.

"Well look who finally decided to show his face around here!" Skye called over to Ward as she saw him coming down the spiral staircase from Coulson's office. "Thought you'd left me again!" She teased before turning her cards when she realised Fitz was trying to see what she had. They were in the middle of an intense game of Go Fish and she didn't appreciate him trying to cheat. She'd won the last four games they'd played and he wasn't taking away her winning streak just yet.

"Leaving you was a one time thing and it stopped us both getting blown up. We met up a few hours later. It wasn't like I'd abandoned you forever, I mean I'd tried to but you're just too good at finding me apparently." He played along and walked over to her. Skye had gotten back into her game while he talked but he knew she was still listening.

"I'm going to ignore the fact you made a joke because it wasn't a nice one." She told him with a small smile. "Any five's?" She asked Fitz who just shook his head. From behind her Ward held up six fingers with a smirk directed towards the young engineer.

"Any sixes?" He asked and Skye frowned before handing over the three sixes she had in her hand.

She bit her lip when she saw Fitz not so discreetly wink at Ward, man he needed to work on his subtly skills. She dropped the cards face down before turning in her seat. "You didn't happen to have anything to do with that did you, Grant?" She asked. She only used his given name when she was being deadly serious or when she was playing with him, which often made it very hard for him, or anyone, to guess whether she was going to try attack them or just burst out laughing.

"Me? No I'd never do that to you." He shrugged casually but the look on his face said something completely different. "You know how much I love you winning at everything and putting everyone down when you do." He said sarcastically.

"I don't put people down, do I Fitz?" She asked and turned to him with a glare.

"No-I...You never do...well maybe sometimes." He stuttered, the almost deadly glare putting him off and made him stumble over his words.

She smirked at him. "You know I don't like cheaters but seeing as Ward is technically the cause of this all I'll just put the blame on him."

"I'm okay with that." Fitz replied before he put his cards down and quick walked back to the lab, away from them.

Skye frowned and looked at the cards that were now on the table. "Wanna play Go Fish? Looks like I've been ditched." She asked him, only to find him shaking his head.

"I'm off to start training. Need to feel fully prepared for this mission. I just have a bad feeling about what's going to go down." He admitted before he walked off.

"What are you talking about!" She called after him but didn't get a response from him.

"Rumour has it that Garrett's still in the building." He mumbled to Skye. They'd already gotten into the building, which was surprisingly easier than either of them had anticipated. "If you see him, don't approach him. He's mine to take down." He mumbled his past with him was complicated to say the least, thanks to that man.

"I'll do what's needed but I'll keep that in mind." She whispered from beside him. "Don't lash out at him purely based on your past, you know I can't stop you from doing anything stupid once you start." She sighed, last time she'd tried to help it resulted in her getting her legs kicked out from underneath her, since then she'd found it easier for the both of them if she just stepped back when she knew the outburst that always followed.

Ward took out a man that came around the corner quickly with his gun, no icers. He needed Hydra dead, he wasn't going to go easy on any of them, Skye on the other hand only used icers, she didn't enjoy having blood on her hands, innocent or not.

"They know we're here." Ward told her and looked around the hallway for cameras, shooting one on his sweep around. "Why didn't we see any cameras on the sweep around the building from the Bus?" He asked her. "We found the computers from the Bus, how come we saw no cameras." He asked.

"They must have installed them after we'd done the scans, or they were deactivated during the scan." She replied. "Or they're the motion ones, only activate to movement. It would make them practically impossible to locate if people rarely came down here." She told him. She looked at the guard that had been shot down by her partner. "There should be more of them coming. We need to get moving Ward." She told him. As she finished her sentence the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard. "Or they've already realised we killed one of their own." She hissed before grabbing his arm. "Forget about the damn cameras, we need to get moving."

Ward pulled his arm away before he quickly led her down a hall that came off the one they were on. "You get to the computer, I'll get anyone who comes down this way. You only have two minutes max." He warned. Skye tried to open the door when they came to it but failed. Ward shot the lock twice before the handle came off. "Go." He muttered and turned back to face the hall again.

She jumped at the sound of gunshots but still copied everything onto the memory stick as quickly as she could, occasionally looking behind her to check the door had stayed shut. She turned around once she'd pulled the usb out and shoved it in her pocket. She instantly froze when she saw the scene behind her. Ward was stood in front, Garrett behind him with a few other guards surrounding them, guns pointed in her direction.

"Put the drive on the side Agent Skye." Garrett told her, his voice an even tone.

She glanced at her partner to see what he wanted her to do. "Do what he says." He told her, his hands behind his back as if they were handcuffed.

She nodded a took a deep breath, nodded and placed it back on the side besides the computer. They'd been caught before, but never by Hydra, she wasn't sure of what they were capable of. She turned back to all the men. "You've got what you wanted, can we go now?" She asked.

"No." Was the simple response.

"Thought not, it was worth a try." She muttered.

Ward got shoved across the room, close to her. "Hey." She whispered and looked up at him. She quickly ran her eyes down his body, checking for injuries. "You hurt?" She asked and he shook his head before reaching for the gun at her side. "Trust me." He whispered to her as he pocketed the gun.

She nodded before turning back to all the Hydra Agents. "So plans for us..?" She started before she felt Ward grab her hands from behind her and she felt cold metal tighten on her skin.

"Ward..Grant..what are you doing." She growled and pulled away from him, pulling on the metal but she knew it was a lost cause. She wasn't going to break them. She watched him carefully as he turned to Garrett, who gave a quiet laugh before Ward turned back to her, a sinister smirk on his face.

"Hail Hydra." He told her.

A/N Dun Dun Duuuuun.
