Disclaimer: I do not own Skye, Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Grant Ward, or FitzSimmons. I only own the variation I have created off of this very popular idea.

I firstly must thank Neeeeeal who, as the author of Turn Back Time, has done such a very interesting and lovely job on their story I wanted to give my attempt of it a go.

However, because I cannot find B.J. Britt's wiki page or his age, I'm going with Ward. But that's not the only reason. It's because with the Hydra plot, I see no room or logical way for this story to make sense. So... It's AUish. Ward isn't hydra. Yay! Because I really did love Ward.

Warning, MAY include Avengers. I upped the rating for my own comfort.


Sitting in the dark interrogation room Dr. Verde, a forty six year old woman with dirty blonde hair and narrow green eyes, sat stiffly in her metal chair. She sat on one side of a metal desk, her wrists were connected to handcuffs connected to the desk itself and restraining her movement in every which way. The room had a sort of glow despite it being dark, large dark hexagons filling the walls with light filtering in between the spaces. Suddenly, a door behind Dr. Verde opened, two sets of footsteps entering.

Standing across from the dear doctor was Commander Hill with a tall, muscular, and blonde haired archer. She knew he was an archer because of the quiver hanging off his back.

"Dr. Verde, this is my associate, Agent Barton," At that, the archer nods in greeting. His hair was slicked to be pointed up like usual. He looked at the other blonde as Commander Hill took a seat across from her, leaning against the nearby wall. Barton didn't exactly know why he was here, but apparently Director Fury gave the clearance for him to be here today. As was Romanoff, but she had to decline due to... a prior responsibility.

Despite appearing unfazed, Dr. Verde had a sick knot forming in her stomach about this. Commander Hill had been trying to get answers out of her since she got here yesterday. She expected torture, threats, bribes... She also sort of expected Avengers but not this quickly.

"Commander Hill as I had explicitly told you yesterday on my arrival, you will not be getting any information from me," There was just this small quiver in her tone. She held her hands close together, clasping them nervously.

"Dr. Verde," Maria Hill was not leaving until she got these answers, "I suggest that you begin to participate in these interrogations. Because the sooner you do that, the sooner you can go on and have lunch."

Hill had purposely removed the scientist before breakfast began so she had a very good incentive. Dr. Verde gave a soft glare at the Deputy Director before she spoke.

"Dr. Verde, explain to me how and why you were recruited into this cause."

The scientist stayed silent and stubborn, so Maria tried a different approach, "Dr. Verde, we have in our custody Jonathan Nash. Have you ever encountered Mr. Nash?"

Dr. Verde frowns, knowing very well that Nash would just give her lie away, so she went for the truth, "Once."

"When was that?"

Dr. Verde had to think, "Two months ago, about two days before the subjects came into our care."

"Under what terms were you meeting under?"

"We were discussing terms of which we wanted our subjects brought to us as. We didn't want our subjects to be heavily injured, and had set boundaries on how to incapacitate them. It was him, myself and two other colleagues."

"Do you know any of Nash's acquaintances? Any of the people who assisted him in capturing our agents?"

"No..."

Maria Hill nods, glancing over at the bored Barton. He looked at the scientist, tapping his foot.

"Ok, so you know the guy that kidnapped the agents, swell... It's a good start it is... But we know he was hired to do this, for a really good deal of cash. Why are you involved?"

Dr. Verde kept her mouth shut, the only sound was the occasional growl of her hungry stomach. Barton looked at her, "You must be hungry."

Just as he said that, the smell of bacon filled the room, accompanied with the scent of lasagna. Dr. Verde clutched her hands, hitting down on her lip. She was so weak.. Quivering at the scent of food, her boss would have never let her leave that facility alive if he knew of her weak will.

"Just tell us..." Barton slowly pressed, "How'd you get recruited?"

"It was five years ago," She gave in, "I was in the unemployment line, my husband was sick and father had died so I was very emotional and prone to being a bit unnecessarily violent. I was running low on money for my husbands treatment, and then.. He came up to me."

"He?"

"My advisor in the facility, he was one of the right hand mans' for the boss. He offered me a spot because of my useful scientific accomplishments and understandings." Satisfied with these answers, Hill went to the door. When she returned to the table she placed half a BLT sandwich and a small cup of water in front of her. Hungry, the scientist ate quickly, trying very hard to keep her decency and pride while she ate. Hawkeye watched her indifferently, waiting for her to finish the food they gave her.

"What were you in charge of at the facility? What were you working on?" Hill asked. But Dr. Verde refused to speak.

"Dr. Verde, what were you working on at the facility? What was your role in it?" Hill repeated.

It happened fast, nearly in a blur. Dr. Verde was on her feet, free from the restraints she had forced open with a hair pin and running to the door. However, she crumbled in the doorway as a sharp pain seared up her right calf, mixing with the flow of blood. Hill stared at the fallen near-escaped scientist with the arrow protruding from her leg, then to the archer who had done it so smoothly, she hadn't seen him notch the arrow.


I don't know how to describe Hawkeye's hair but you get it. So... yeah... You all get the image of what I'm saying.

Ok I have some names for the Project that did this to Skye, FitzSimmons and Ward.

1) The Ponce De León Project

2) Fountain de León Project

3) The Ponce Fountain

There's a reason they're like this. I personally like 1 first, but I want opinions.

A little break from Coulson, May and the kids. :D Who will visit in the next chapter. Here's a hint

"I told you I don't want to join your super-secret boy band."
