A/N: Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update last night, I was sick yesterday! I may or may not update tomorrow cause I have this thing at school that lasts from 10 PM to 6 AM. Enjoy!
Over the next two weeks, all was quiet, no dangers to the human race or SHIELD, no green rage monster issues, or anything that may cause any damage.
Until one day, that is...
"Got a mission. We have a suspicious shipment in an abandoned apartment building." Coulson said, throwing some files in front of Skye and Ward as he, Agent May, and the two scientists joined them.
"Explosives?" Grant asked, picking up the files and looking them over.
"Possible. Might be something different all together. We have reason to suspect HYDRA. They have a hostage by the name of Rikki Falco."
Skye's head snapped up at this and grabbed the file from Grant.
In the file was a picture of a woman around Skye's age, her black hair covered her dark green eyes.
"Do you know her?"
"Barely. We were in a foster home together when we were sixteen before I was...let go. She goes to med school part time, I believe. I'm not sure what HYDRA wants with her though." Skye answered, looking over the information carefully.
"When was the last time you spoke with her?"
"I skyped with her about two weeks ago."
Coulson nodded and walked over to the cockpit with Agent May, who followed behind briskly. Neither giving any indication as to what that was all about.
Moments later, everyone sat around the table, trying to come up with the best plan to get in and get out with very minimal injuries.
"Well, we can't really go in without breaking any international laws." Fitz said, sighing as he looked at the poorly drawn map of the warehouse.
"Well, the shipment containers and Rikki are being kept on the top floor of the warehouse, right? How about Coulson and Agent May keep watch outside, and Grant and I will go in with Fitz and Simmons, grab the shipment and Rikki, and get out?" Skye asked, growing tired of the arguing that would soon follow.
"That's actually not a bad idea." Melinda said, looking over at Coulson, who sighed.
"I guess we could do that..." He said, trailing off as he looked at Grant for some type of agreement.
"As long as I can be with Skye and make sure that she's not hurt, I don't mind." Grant said, not wanting to disagree with Skye and risk getting smothered by another pillow.
"Okay, then it's settled."
A little more than an hour later, the plan landed at the airfield in Argentina, and everyone wasted no time in leaving the safety of the air craft, heading towards the direction of the complex
Skye, Grant, and the two scientists watched anxiously as Agent May and Coulson worked diligently to bound and gag the guards, Melinda adding a swift kick to the head for good measure.
Coulson nodded to Skye and Ward, who ran into the building, Fitz and Simmons following cautiously behind.
"So, where are the_" Grant started, only being cut off when he saw something in the distance. Skye followed his gaze in the dimly lit warehouse and saw the concrete stairs to the upper twenty or so levels were broken, bits and pieces of concrete spread out in every direction.
"Looks like they broke the stairs with some type of dynamite." Fitz said, his head snapping in the direction of someone shuffling objects around, and they saw Skye moving a bunch of crates together, as if to make stairs, to get up to the cat walk, which would in turn, get them to stairs that weren't broken, and up to the top floor.
Skye climbed up them in ease as Grant followed her while Leo and Jemma had stunned looks on their faces.
"Skye! Should you even be doing this in your condition? This is so stupid and reckless!" Grant whispered urgently, trying to climb up faster towards the long black catwalks.
"Then why are you following me, Grant?" She asked, looking back down at her boyfriend, seeing him roll his eyes as Fitz and Simmons finally snapped out of their shock and started to follow.
"I don't freaking know!" He exclaimed as they finally reached the catwalks and waited for the other two and were finally able to take the stairs.
"The shipment and Rikki are on the last floor. I don't think they're expecting us...unless we tripped on a silent alarm or something..." Fitz said, trailing off as he struggled to catch his breath, heading towards the staircase, taking care not to fall off the beams.
Skye ran up ahead of them, running down the long corridor as they reached the last floor, until it came to a door at the end of the hallway, a supply closet, with two guards standing in front of it.
Agent Ward pushed Skye, Fitz, and Simmons down into another hallway, allowing for them to peer around the corner without being seen.
"Everything...and Rikki, is being held in there."
"No, really? The question is, how do we dispatch of these guards without alerting the rest of HYDRA we're here? I highly doubt there are only four members of HYDRA in this whole complex." Simmons explained, looking at Fitz who reached into his back pack and pulled out an object that appeared to look like a grenade.
"What are you doing?"
Leo didn't respond, only peered around the pale blue wall as he pulled the pin and threw the object as hard as he could.
Everyone ducked as the grenade exploded, but instead of the guards being blown to pieces, smoke came out of it, confusing the guards, and the Agents.
The Agents didn't seem to know what was happening or what Leo's plan was until the guards fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Knock out gas?" Simmons asked, looking at her partner in awe.
"Something of the sort." He answered, earning a pat on the back from Grant and a high five from Skye.
The plan was in action.
