A/N: Hey guys! So, here's this chapter! Enjoy!
Skye continued running deeper into the city, hopefully heading in the direction of the airfield. She kept running until her wound hurt so much that she had to stop and lean against a brick building, clutching it exasperatedly.
"Skye!" A voice called faintly, causing her to turn around and see Grant running in her direction.
Skye turned her back to him and continued running, albeit, not as fast as when she had left the hospital in a rush. All she wanted to do was get back to the plane, out of the public eye where she felt vulnerable.
"Skye, stop!" Grant continued to call, picking up his pace, closing the rest of the distance between the two of them as he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into an alley.
The girl continued to put up a fight against him, elbowing him in the stomach multiple times, earning a grunt of pain from him, but he was much bigger and stronger than she was.
"Let go!" She exclaimed, continuing to struggle.
"Skye, babe, stop fighting. You're going to open the knife wound or hurt the baby. Please. The last thing I want to do is give you a sedative." He pleaded, albeit calmly.
Hearing this, Skye stopped fighting and relaxed in his grip, turning around to hug him, her head resting just below his chin.
"What was that all about at the hospital?" He asked, rubbing her back soothingly.
Skye pulled away and looked up at him, brown eyes glistening with unshed tears.
"Marco. His father is the leader of HYDRA. One of them anyway, barely around to spend time with him because he was always traveling, so he lived with his Aunt. Marco and I dated for a year and a half before I dropped out. He physically and emotionally abused me throughout the relationship, all while still telling me he loved me. He partly did it because everyone who claimed to care for him stabbed him in the back repeatedly. He had sworn me to secrecy seeing as I had mistakenly found out about his Dad's job. As soon as I turned sixteen, I broke up with him and bought a van from a friend of my then foster family, with the money I had earned of course, and left. HYDRA's always needed me. Ever since they learned I could hack into almost anything." She explained, finally letting the tears fall.
Grant embraced her, letting her cry into his shoulder.
"Shh. It's alright, we'll put a stop to HYDRA. We'll put a stop to any organization that's a threat. That's partly our job. Find threats and dispose of them." He assured her, pressing his lips to her forehead.
"It's no use. HYDRA is no better than other terrorist groups like HAMAS or Al Qaeda. It won't matter how many of them are killed or put behind bars. They won't stop until they get what they want." She said, wiping the tears from her face.
"Skye, I will do whatever it takes to protect you and the baby. I will die for you if it meant knowing you were safe."
Skye nodded and gave a small smile, hugging him once more.
I'm safe now. Everything will be okay.
