Chapter Three (Reveal)
Fitzsimmons and Ward got up from the seats in the lounge as Coulson and May approached them
"Sir, I have tracking programs running that are trying to located the source of the message." Fitz said.
"Good." Coulson replied. "And I think May and I might have found a motive for all of this."
"And what would that be?" Ward asked.
Coulson sighed, ""You three might want to sit down, there is something that I have to tell you."
"Ok then?" Fitz said, taking a seat on the couch next to Simmons and Ward.
"Listen," Coulson began, not exactly sure how to tell them. "Skye had a really troubled past. She was practically in and out of foster care all the time. Forever, she thought that nobody wanted her. But recently, she, well me and May, found out that she was in and out of foster care to protect her."
"From what?" Ward asked, completely intrigued.
"From a group of pursuers that were trying to capture her." May said.
"What?"
"We," Coulson said. "We found out that she, she,"
"She what?" Simmons asked, urging the agent to go on.
"Well, we found out that about twenty-three years ago, an entire Chinese village and a small SHIELD team died, was massacred, protecting an 084. And the 084 was a girl." Coulson explained.
"Wait," Ward interrupted, "Are you saying that Skye's an 084?" he asked.
"Yes." Coulson replied. "But we don't know what gave her that classification though. According to an agent we asked, she had powers of some sort."
"And she was contacted because of this?" Fitz asked, not really understanding what was going on.
"That's what we think." May replied.
"Unbelievable." Simmons muttered.
A ding sounded from the Holocom, signaling that the backtracing was done. Fitz and Simmons ran over to it.
"What does it say?" Coulson asked, coming over with May and Ward.
"Not much." Fitz replied, panicked. "The message was traced back to a, a,"
"Spit it out, Fitz." Ward stated.
"It was traced back to a Centipede server."
Skye found a small, roadside diner and decided to stop and grab something to eat. She went in, sat down, and ordered a sandwich.
When the waitress brought the sandwich, Skye didn't hesitate to chow down on it.
She had been on the run for a few days now, and she really hadn't had the time to stop and eat something decent. She only had a small amount of food with her, and it didn't amount to much. Right now, that sandwich was about the best thing ever.
Placing the other half of the sandwich down, Skye looked out of the diner window next to her. She thought about the team. She felt extremely bad for leaving them like that. But it was necessary to protect them.
There was no telling who was after her, and she didn't want to know. Sighing, she went to pay for her food. She then grabbed her things and went out the door. And she continued running from the unknown threat.
"Find her." A robotic voice crackled through on a video conference. The robotic effect was masking the real voice.
"Yes sir." a lone business-looking man replied. "I'll do my best to find her."
"I know you have the resources to complete the job." the voice stated. "I know that she's already running, she's left the safety of her precious team. She's completely vulnerable."
"I'll take that into consideration."
"You better not fail me, she is an extremely valuable asset. And if you fail me, you know what the consequences are. And I know that you do not want to face them.
"I will not fail you, sir.' I promise that I will bring her in."
