Warning: You're about to see Skye kick some major Hydra ass! Don't know if you should be scared or excited, so… you have been warned.
"We're idiots." Simmons exclaimed to the team assembled in Providence.
"No we're not, Jemma." Fitz argued.
"We let two Hydra agents on our team and let them kidnap Skye! How are we not idiots?" Simmons snapped.
"Arguing with each other won't help us or Skye." May interjected, bringing an end to the duo's argument.
The team had assembled in Providence after discovering Koeing's body. They had tried to contact Skye without response. After seeing the footage of her and Ward taking the BUS, they had figured he had taken her to Garrett. They had been trying fruitlessly for the past hours to find them, but Hydra covered their tracks too well. They had caught neither sight nor response of Skye, Ward or Garrett. Suddenly, Coulson's phone started beeping. Everyone turned their heads to face their leader.
Coulson's face broke out into a smile. "What's up, Coulson?" Trip asked curiously.
"I know where Skye is." Coulson answered simply. All of them, excluding May, gaped at the statement.
"What? How?" Fitzsimmons asked together.
"Ward's SHIELD dog tags." Coulson responded. After receiving some curious glances, he explained, "Ward's SHIELD dog tags have a tracking device in them. When he traces the letters and rows in a distinct pattern, they send a signal to my phone. He just activated them."
"So, he's leading us to Skye?" Simmons concluded skeptically. Coulson nodded, "That doesn't make any sense."
"Yes. It does." Coulson said, "He would do anything to keep her safe. Including betray Garrett." The team gaped at him again. Ignoring them, Coulson turned to May, "How long till we can get in the air?"
"She's ready when you are." May answered smoothly.
"Good." Coulson commented, "Let's go get our girl."
Skye had the plan formed in her head. She had to act. She couldn't waste any more time. For all she knew, Garrett could have killed Ward already. The cold sensation in her hands amplified at the simple thought. Now was the time to act. If her emotions controlled her powers, she would have the most power right now. She was angry with Garrett for even just threatening to kill Ward. She was overwhelmed at the discovery of her 0-8-4 powers. And… she was in love with Ward. She had finally accepted it. He was the only guy willing to die for her safety. That fact alone made her smile.
It's now or never, Skye, She told herself. You can't waste time with Ward's life at stake. She took a deep breath and gently touched Ward's dog tags. Hope this works. She pushed her hand as far out as they could in the handcuffs. Bending her hand, she touched a finger to the handcuffs. Within a second, the handcuffs had turned to ice. Skye tore them apart with ease. Standing up, she rubbed to rid herself of the irritation. So far, so good. Now just to get past the guards and find Ward.
Walking towards the door, she opened her palm to the handle, the ice around it thickened and she elbowed it, breaking it. The door opened and she stepped out, flexing her fingers. This power rocked. "Hey! She escaped!" A shout of a Hydra guard brought her back to reality.
Please let this work, Skye pleaded silently. She opened her palm to the floor. A sheet of slippery ice covered it and two of the guards slipped. She internally cheered herself on as she ran down the hall she saw the guards take Ward earlier. As she met more guards, she protected herself with ice. Suddenly, she heard Garrett shout, "Go out there and see what the hell's going on!" from behind a closed door a little ways down the hall.
The two guars that took Ward from her cell came out of a door and aimed their guns at her. She held out both palms and froze their guns. They dropped the weapons and they shattered to pieces on the floor. She then pinned one of the guards to the wall with icicles. The last guard looked ready for a fight. Skye rolled her eyes. Fine, she thought to herself.
She ran up and swung a leg at his head. He ducked and swung his leg out to pull out her feet. Skye jumped and then thought, this is taking too much time. She shortened the fight by opening to her palm and pinning him to the wall with a sheet of ice. Skye turned to the door the guards came out of.
Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the door. The sight in front of her made her blood run cold… well, colder than it already was. Ward was handcuffed to a chair with Garrett in front of him, holding a gun to Ward's head. When they saw her, Ward's eyes sparked with relief and… love. She liked that look in his eyes. But Garrett's darkened with anger.
"How the fuck did you escape?" Garrett demanded.
"With this." Skye snarled, opening her palm to the gun in his hand. It froze just like the guards' and he dropped it to the floor. It shattered into about a million shards of shining ice. Garrett and Ward looked at her and the shards in shock. She sent them a smirk back.
"That's what you can do!" Garrett exclaimed.
"Yep." Skye said, popping the 'p' "Don't know how I didn't find them before, but right now I don't care." She held out her palm, but didn't shoot, "Funny. I just thought of this plan like 5 minutes ago and it still worked." Skye laughed a little at the thought.
"How the hell is this happening?" Garrett asked with a little twinge of fear in his voice.
"Can't explain the actual science, seeing as I only discovered this power just after you dragged Ward away," Skye commented, "But all I know is my powers are connected to my emotions. And you brought a shit ton of emotions out of me." Her eyes darted to Ward, who was still handcuffed to the chair. "Now step away from him before I freeze you."
She took a few steps closer to Ward and Garrett backed up accordingly. With her free hand, Skye froze Ward's handcuffs. He tore them apart like a piece of paper. Ward stood up and smiled at Skye. She smiled back.
Taking advantage of their distraction, Garrett grabbed Skye's wrist and flipped her over like a pancake. Ward heard Skye gasp in pain and he was immediately in action. He didn't care if this was the man who broke him out of juvie. He was not letting Skye get hurt. Ward grabbed Garrett by the collar and shoved him against the wall. He started throwing punches until he had blood on his knuckles. That's when he heard Skye say, "Grant."
He immediately stopped and turned to her. Within an instant, he dropped Garrett and ran over to help her. He stood her up and she pulled away from him. "Skye, what is it?" He asked as he tried to reach out for her again but she pulled away again.
"I've seen what my powers can do." Skye said quietly looking down at her hands, "I just got them and I haven't learned to control them that well. I can't risk hurting you, Ward. I just can't." Tears started to fall down from her eyes but landed with a tinkling as they turned to ice and dropped to the floor.
"Skye, I can help you learn to control it." Ward argued.
He reached out to her and she gingerly let him take her in his arms. He rubbed soothing patterns on her back and she calmed down. "Ward, can you promise me something?" She asked quietly.
"Anything." Ward answered seriously.
"Don't tell the team." She ordered, "I can't let them know I'm some… freak. I can't. If I do, there's a bigger chance I could hurt them and that's not happening. I won't hurt any of them."
"I know you won't, Skye." Ward responded, "And if you don't want to tell the team, that's fine. We won't."
Okay. I know it was a pretty short chapter, but I just wanted to get it up there tonight because I have two projects to do and I don't know how much time I'll get on the internet this weekend. So, sorry about the short chapter, R&R please and answer the poll on my bio!
