Skye was lying on an air mattress set up in the containment unit. She had a stress ball that she was throwing up in the air and catching it. It was the same stress ball her dad had thrown at her during her first training mission. She was bored. She had gotten all her schoolwork for the year done. Her friends were all at school. Everyone at the compound was busy. Easter was just a couple of days away so everyone was getting ready for that or they were out trying to figure out who or where in Hydra was the person or persons who could get into her brain. Skye had convinced them that she was okay in the containment unit alone. Even in the containment unit, Hydra managed to get into Skye's brain and she had managed to shake the compound more than once. Thankfully the containment unit had kept it to a minimum and she hadn't hurt anyone.

She was sure that she must be terrifying at the very least Morgan and James but neither seemed to be bothered by it. According to her dad and Tony anyway. She kept throwing the ball, higher and higher until it hit the ceiling and ended up coming back down faster than she anticipated and it hit her on the forehead. She whimpered a little and rubbed at her head.

"Miss Rogers, are you okay?" F.R.I.D.A.Y asked.

Tony had programmed the AI to watch her very carefully and to let him know of any issues.

"Yeah, Friday. I'm okay," Skye said. "Can you tell me what everyone else is doing?"

"Mrs. Potts, Captain Danvers, and Dr. Banner are in the kitchen cooking. Morgan and James are playing in the living room. And everyone else is out on a mission," F.R.I.D.A.Y. told her.

"Thanks, Friday," Skye said with a sigh.

Skye stood up and went and grabbed the ball that had rolled to the other end of the unit and picked it up before she went and flopped back on the air mattress. She landed too hard causing the mattress to pop and deflate.

"You have got to be kidding me!" She said angrily as she threw the ball hard against the wall, got up, and started to pace.

"Miss Rogers, are you okay?" F.R.I.D.A.Y asked.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" She snapped at the AI.

"You sound frustrated," F.R.I.D.A.Y said.

"Friday can you just shut up?" Skye asked.

The AI system went quiet and ten minutes later Bruce came into the room.

"The AI system told on me?" Skye asked from where she sat on the floor hugging her knees.

"Told on you for what?" Bruce asked.

Skye looked up at him.

"Friday told me that you popped the air mattress, was it on purpose?" Bruce asked.

"No. I just didn't think through flopping on it like I do my bed," Skye said.

Bruce nodded. "I can get you another mattress. Not a problem."

"Thank you," Skye said.

"How are you doing? I know you are probably running out of things to do," Bruce said.

"Yeah. Pretty bored," Skye said. "Have you heard an update on the team?"

"Yeah. About half an hour ago. Everyone is okay. Nothing has been found yet," Bruce said.

"Okay," Skye said.

"You have your end-of-the-year exams coming up soon. Do you need to study?" Bruce asked

"I have already done them. Doing online schooling means I can do them whenever. It's all done online," Skye said.

"You are done your school year already?" Bruce asked

"I am," Skye said.

"I know you had a summer reading list when you went to in-person schooling. Anything like that for online school?" Bruce asked.

"No," Skye said.

"Any books you want to read?" Bruce asked

"I do have a list," Skye said taking out her phone.

"On your phone? Text me the list?" Bruce asked.

Skye pressed a few buttons and sent a text. "Done."

Bruce checked his phone when it went off a few seconds later.

"Perfect. I will see what I can do to get you some of them," Bruce said

"Thank you," Skye said.

"How are you doing mentally?" Bruce asked.

"Well. I told an AI system to shut up," Skye said.

"Ah. Is that what you were wondering if it told me?" Bruce asked.

"Yeah," Skye said.

"The AI system has no feelings," Bruce said. "It just did what you asked."

Skye nodded.

"So it's not going to tell on you for something you did that it doesn't even realize is not nice," Bruce said.

"Logically I know that," Skye said. "But I think I'm losing my mind a little in here."

"Do you want to get out of there and go outside for a bit? Fresh air will probably do you some good," Bruce said.

"I'm scared," Skye said. "I don't want to end up hurting you or anyone else."

"I'm not going to force you out here but if you change your mind you can just let me know. Okay?" Bruce asked.

Skye nodded.

"I'm going to go see about finding you another mattress. I'll be back soon. Okay?" Bruce asked.

"Yes. I'm okay," Skye said.

Bruce left the room and Skye went and picked up the stress ball and started to play with it.

Soon after Bruce came back with another air mattress and brought it into the unit for her and took out the old one.

"Thank you," Skye said.

"Of course," Bruce said. "You sure you don't want out for half an hour?"

"I'm sure," Skye said.

"Okay," Bruce said before he left the pod and locked it behind him.

Skye put all the blankets on the new air mattress and laid down. She felt a headache coming on. She texted Bruce.

Skyler: "I think the headaches recently are connected to when they are trying to get in my head. And I currently have a headache coming on,"

Bruce saw the text and went back down into the room.

"Fight it," Bruce said. "I know you have been told to drop down those walls. But put them back up. And don't fall asleep."

Skye took a breath and tried to do what Bruce told her to. The more she fought it the worse the headache got. "The headache is getting worse."

"They are probably trying harder because you are fighting it. Keep doing it. I'm sorry I know it hurts but keep doing it," Bruce said.

Skye kept fighting against it. "I – I don't know how much longer I can fight this," Skye said as she put pressure on either side of her head the pain was getting worse.

"If you have to, let go but keep trying. You are doing great," Bruce said.

"It hurts!" Skye snapped banging her hand on the ground causing the pod to shake a little

"Fight it, Skyler," Bruce said sharply.

"Oh yeah get angry at the person who is in pain," she snipped at him as fire grew in her hands.

"Keep fighting it," Bruce said. He knew he was being hard on her but he hoped that being a little tough on her would make her fight it harder.

The entire room started to shake.

"Skye. I need to you take a breath," Bruce said.

Skye shook her head.

"Is this actually Skyler?" Bruce asked.

Skye's eyes darkened and she started to shoot fire blasts at the walls of the dome.

"Damn it," Bruce said. "Skyler. I know you are in there. You can fight this. Think of everything you have already fought through to get here. You are so much stronger than this."

The door to the room opened and Carol came in. "Thought maybe I could help."

"You really should not be in here when she's in Hydra's control," Bruce said.

"She is secure in there," Carol said.

"Yes. But we don't know if she can break it. She has come pretty close. Steve and Bucky would be furious if something happened to you," Bruce said.

Carol walked up to the glass. "Skye wouldn't hurt me. Not when I'm carrying her sibling."

"It's not Skye in there," Bruce pointed out.

"A part of Skye is in there,' Carol said.

Skye shot fireballs right at the spot where Carol was standing.

"Yeah. You need to leave," Bruce said.

"Nope," Carol said.

Bruce shook his head.

"Open the door," Carol said.

"There is a snowball's chance in hell I am opening the pod right now," Bruce said.

Carol let out a breath shaking her head.

Skye screamed and her entire body encased itself in flames. She slowly lifted herself from the ground.

"Please, Carol. Leave," Bruce said.

"No," Carol said.

When Skye got up to the sealing she dropped herself to the ground hard and shook the entire room in a full earthquake. Knocking Bruce and Carol down and cracking the glass on the dome.

"Shit," Carol said.

Bruce got up and helped Carol up and out of the room. "Do not come back in. I'm ordering you as a medical professional. And go make sure the few upstairs are okay," he said before he went back in. Skye was kneeling on the floor looking at the ground.

"Skyler, are you back?" Bruce asked.

Skye slowly lifted her head and just stared at him. Her eyes weren't dark anymore.

"Skye. Are you okay?" Bruce asked.

Skye shook her head.

"You are back right?" Bruce asked.

"Yes Sir," she said softly.

"Okay. Are you physically hurt?" Bruce asked.

"No," Skye said. "Is Carol okay?"

"Yeah. I think she's fine. A little shaken up," Bruce said.

Skye nodded. "I broke the dome."

"You cracked it yeah," Bruce said

"I have never felt so angry and powerful," Skye said.

"Did you like feeling that?" Bruce asked.

"I liked feeling powerful I think. But not angry," Skye said. "I think I fully understand my abilities now. While the anger is supposed to only control the fire part of the abilities. I think the true trigger is anger."

"That is a big thing to understand," Bruce said.

"I'm ready to leave the room," Skye said.

"Skye. Are you sure?" Bruce asked.

"Yes," Skye said.

"Okay," Bruce said punching in the code.

Skye got up and walked out of the room.

"I'm sorry," Skye said.

"It's okay. You had no control of it," Bruce said.

Skye nodded and went upstairs and found Carol. "I'm so sorry. Tell me you and the baby are okay," she said in tears.

"We are okay. It's okay," Carol said. "Can I give you a hug?"

Skye nodded and Carol hugged her tight. "This was not your fault."

They broke the hug and Skye went to her room. She went into the bottom drawer of her desk, lifted up a false bottom, and took out the teleport device. She had hidden it there before she was locked into the containment unit. She knew she would need it. Once she figured out what she would need to do to fix it so Hydra couldn't do this to anyone else. She knew what she was about to do could kill her. But she also realized the reason Hydra wanted her. They knew. They knew she was the key to true destruction. And whatever side had her, she would be the key to bring down the other side. She knew that she had to put a true end to Hydra. She took out a pen and paper and sat at her desk. She wrote a letter to each of the family members and Tucker. She explained what she had to do and that she loved them all. Thanking them for all they did for her. Once the letters were done she put the notes on her desk.

She grabbed her bracelet that was on her bedside table and put it on her wrist before she teleported herself around the world to all the places she knew there was a Hydra base. The benefit of Hydra being in her head is she was able to learn about all the bases.

One by one she used her abilities to destroy them. She knew by now the world had to know something was going on. Meaning her family knew. Meaning her family had found the notes. She couldn't stop now. She had one more place to destroy. A place where she knew there was a major Hydra base. No one could get in. Avengers and SHIELD had been trying for years. She knew this had to be the main base. She knew if she destroyed it, it would be the final step in ending Hydra once and for all. She teleported to the location and took a deep breath. She was exhausted. She lifted herself from the ground and started to build up the anger in her body. Within ten minutes a building that spanned what would have been twenty blocks was slowly crumbling down and Skye kept digging more and more into her anger. Everything she had spent her entire life holding in was coming out in anger and she had destroyed ninety percent of the building before her body started to give out. She fell to her knees and her strength was slowly depleting.

At that exact moment, all the Avengers original and young, everyone from Wakanda, SHIELD agents, and even people from the academy from where they had the conference showed up.

Steve went over to her on the ground and put a hand on her shoulder.

"No. I can do it," she said shakily.

"You've done most of it. Let us finish," Steve said softly.

Skye looked at him in tears.

"You never have to do this alone," Steve said softly

Skye nodded and Steve picked her up while everyone else took down the rest of the building.

Once it was destroyed. Steve set Skye on her feet so she could see.

"It's gone. You did what you were supposed to do. You put an end to Hydra," Steve said.

"We did it," Skye said softly before she turned to bury her face in her dad's chest and sobbed out.

Steve wrapped his arms around her and lifted her off the ground. "Skyler. You are the bravest person I have ever known. I am unbelievably proud of you."

"Thank you for coming to save me. Again," Steve said.

"We only came to help," Steve said.

"I wouldn't have been able to do it without you," Skye said.

"And no one ever came anywhere close to destroying Hydra once and for all. You did it, Skye," Bucky said.

"And now we all get to go home," Steve said.

Skye nodded.

Everyone got teleported home.
