They all hold their breaths wondering what will happen next , Skye gulps making any evidence of emotion drain away as she picked herself up and with a calm demeanor whispered " I am sorry I can't not right now," She looks to Dr. Banner and with a weak voice said "Its not wise for the tests to be done while we are in the air... just please leave me alone." And with those words she left the room head low and in silence leaving everyone concerned but only Ward ran after her caring too much for her to be in pain. Colson looks to Dr. Banner and says " Something bad happened to her while she was kidnapped and I don't think it would be wise to push her while this plane is at 35,000 feet in the air, we don't want her to provoke the hulk by being her normal stubborn self." Dr. Banner nodded before heading back to the lab, Romanoff looked to Colson and May before signing " I will try to talk to her she may let me in ?" May and Colson looked to each other quietly communicating unknown to the rest before May replied " That might work." But suddenly iron man stepped up and interrupted " Red be careful try not to activate her powers... from what I studied the red electricity is so powerful that only four people on this team can take direct hits and survive." Colson eyebrows raise as he asks " Thor and ?" Captain America decided it was a good time to step into the conversation and finished for Iron Man " Thor because of his lightning and hammer , Stark because of his armor, Hulk because nothing so far can kill him and Me because of the super soldier serum and my shield. Although I don't think she will shoot at agent Ward no matter how mad she gets at him." the last part was said with a quick shrug of the shoulders making everyone silently agree with him.
Meanwhile Skye walks through the hallway wondering where she could possibly hide in a plane full of Avengers, she could hide in her bunk but then that would be one of the more obvious places, or she could go to the gym and pretend everything is alright. Skye decided to go with option number two and headed down the stairs to punch the boxing bag, she went over and grabbed the hand wraps and slowly wrapped her hands perfectly just as her S.O taught her to. Ward looked every where for Skye except the cargo bay and the lab which he knew she would die before going to right now so he headed for the makeshift gym, he stopped mid step as he sees his rookie punching the life out of the punching bag and to his happiness her form is perfect. Ward leaned against the railing watching her when all of a sudden his heart ached as he saw Skye pick up her pace in punching the bag and noticed silent tears trickling down her face, he rushed down the spiral stairs and came up behind Skye careful not to startle her he put his hand on her shoulder. "Skye..." she ignored him as she began to push herself throwing punches harder and faster till Ward grabbed her arm mid swing and looked her directly in the eyes as he firmly stated "Skye enough! Pleaseeeeee" his eyes flooded with desperation causing Skye to lean into him in exhaustion, he wrapped his arms around her and let his chin rest upon her head as she mumbled through his shirt " I'm sorry." He hugged her tighter before whispering into her ear " Skye let me in... tell me what you're feeling what you're thinking... I want to help." Skye pulls herself from his chest looking up into his caring eyes and instantly her resolve melts as she growls playfully and replies " Okay robot for your ears only... come on let's go to my bunk no way am I talking about this in the open." He nods and begins removing her hand wraps once they are removed his eye witches at the site of her bleeding knuckles, he grabs the first aid kit and let's her lead him to her bunk.
The avengers and The remaining team members spot Skye going into her bunk with bloody knuckles they look to Ward concerned and he just shook his head saying ' don't ask' before following Skye and closing the door behind him, Colson looked to widow who nodded understanding his look and approached the door with the intention to talk but suddenly a red electric force field sprung up surrounding the bunk making Widow back flip away drop it barely avoiding gasped in surprise and looked to Stark who stepped up to the force field and began studying it for a few moments before clicking his tongue and replying " Its a field that's completely comprised of electrostatic red energy or electricity in other words don't touch unless you want to become toast... Agent May how long till we arrive in New York?" She looked at her watch then replied "Two hours tops" everyone left the room.
(In Skye's bunk)
" Firstly I don't want anyone interrupting or listening in." She closes her eyes and then opens as a sizzling sound surrounded the bunk but her eyes had a slight red glow to them she has a gorgeous smile thought Grant as he pulled her to sit down on the bed to which she obeyed and held out her hands as he pulled out a alcohol swab and bandage wrap before he gently cupped her right hand before he cleaned off the blood from her knuckles making her hiss from the burning. "Sorry, why don't you start telling me what happened before we came and rescued you?" Skye bit her lip before looking into the distance taking a deep breath drawing strength from her S.O being in the room.
She began "I woke up in a empty white room tied to a chair, Simmons and you were no where to be seen... A armed guard entered followed by a scrawny guy that I late was told to call Kathos. He pulled out a briefcase that was full of ... torture devices, Ward he knew things about me... things no regular person should know." Ward looked up at her when he heard fear enter her voice abandoning bandaging her left fist he gave her hand a quick comforting squeeze urging her to continue " He told me that my mother was human but my father wasn't ... he knew of my 084 status and wanted to know what powers I possessed but I did what you taught me and closed myself off turned into a robot." She said with a small smile causing Ward to chuckle.
" After I refused to tell him anything Simmons was brought in bound and gagged where Kathos used leverage to attempt to get information... if I didn't answer a question truthfully Simmons would be hurt and if Simmons didn't answer his questions I would be, I ordered Simmons to not cooperate no matter what was done to me but I made sure Simmons came out unharmed by answering questions about me with half truths but Simmons resolve was starting to break as my torture was brought to the point of cuts and electrocution. I closed my eyes wishing she wouldn't see anymore of the torture and she seemed to relax ...for almost a hour I was tortured by a car battery being attached to my metal chair and turned on. The pain was awful but I was determined to show no weakness so I took it they wanted to know how AC is alive and how I lived after I was shot twice point blank. But I wouldn't tell him anything my main priority was keeping Jemma from being hurt like you would with me , we didn't tell them anything." She said with a proud grin on her face hiding any pain behind it.
"Suddenly Kathos got orders from someone on his come and a guard came in with the berserker staff, Ward I was so scared and Simmons was about to pass out ... I looked inside myself and released something when I opened my eyes I saw the red electricity fry Kathos and send the other two guards into unconsciousness, I got Simmons and I out of the bindings but suddenly a explosion made the ceiling cave in on us , I was so scared that I wouldn't see you or the team ever again that I throughout my arms preparing to be crushed but I wasn't ... that's how I learned how to do this force field, then a couple dozen fully armed guards came into the room and I saw the berserker staff. ( whimpers) I had no other choice my powers only worked at random points so I used the staff till Capt came in I was too engaged in fighting that a gun went off and Simmons was shot in the leg...I told Capt to shield her just in time before... Ward I let my rage consume me and my powers activated... I killed over a dozen men!" She wraps her arms around herself and cried making Ward's heart break he pulled her into his lap and caressed her face making her look at him with a quivering lip as she saw his compassion she looked away and whimpered " How can you even look at me ?! I am a murder and a freak!" Her insecurity was getting the better of her making Ward look at her in awe as he gently cupped her chin making her look into his majestic caring eyes.
"Skye you're not a freak nor a monster and I will be here for you no matter what you know why?" He said as she was entranced with his eyes and voice that she nodded no and he started leaning closer as her whispered "Because I have fallen for you...I love you Skye"
