Lost In The Time Of Memories

Chapter 15

"The team taught me everything I know now" I started again, explaining my time with SHIELD. "Coulson would teach me of the importance of SHIELD history and telling story's of their past missions. Jemma and Fitz were like parents to me, they took care of me and taught me everything I know about sciences and medical. Mack would teach me about mechanics and how to drive while Emily's mom, Bobbi would teach us both how to read and write as well as act for undercover missions. Daisy and Hunter always made sure we were taking breaks and enjoying our childhood, we would play video games and board games together or simply watch movies and sing songs." I continued the story.

"What about May? You seem to be very close with her" Zachary pointed out.

"She trained me to be the agent I once was."

"The cavalry?"

"Yes, the cavalry" I sighed. "That was originally her name from a mission in Bahrain where she had to kill an inhuman girl to save the lives of all the agents who had been taken under her control. It truly destroyed her and turned her into the stone cold May you know"

"So she trained you and handed down the name?"

"Not exactly. She trained me, yes. She taught me everything from flying to shooting to hand to hand combat against ten men double my size" I explained the rigorous training I had experienced.

"Wow" he sighed in amazement. "And the name? How did you get it then?"

"It was my last mission in the field as a specialist agent."

"What's the situation?" May and I arrived at the crime scene where shield had blocked in the building.

"Someone inside has hostages and they are making threats" a man explained to my SO.

"Any way to sneak in?"

"There's a small window in the back but it's too small for any of us to fit through" the agent continued.

"I'll go in" I spoke up with determination.

"Thea, no" May sternly ordered.

"I'm the only one small enough to fit through that window which means I'm the only one able to get inside and stop this madness" I explained my reasoning, wanting desperately to save the agents inside.

"Fine, but if you need back up you call us and get the hell out of there" I nodded at the words of May and moved towards the back of the building. "Keep us updated" she speaks through my earpiece.

Moving swiftly I had jumped up and pulled myself through the open window. Dropping into the building with stealth I had ducked down and moved to get a better view of the situation.

"I'm going to do it! I'm going to leak the gas!" A man called out for the agents outside to hear. Sounds of fear sounded through my ear piece.

"Thea, what's going on" May worried. I stayed silent, watching as the man wore a gas mask so that his face was unidentifiable. A gunshot rang out and he was gone, the building quickly filled with the gas and May's voice flooded my ears. "Thea! Gets out of there now!" She called out with a panic at the gunshot bang. I was about to follow her orders when I heard a scream from one of the agents below.

I jumped down to the lower level to meet the dozen men who had been taken hostage. Screams and growls filled the Smokey room. I cautiously walked around, not being able to see what was happening. A man lunged towards me and I fought back, taking a few hits as I was attacked by all of the agents. They fought with a viciousness and tried to kill me but I held on strong. After taking many hits I pulled my gun and started to shoot the agents I was supposed to save. The gas began to clear and I looked around, gasping as I saw the massacre before me. dead body's of agents laid around on the blood stained concrete. I dropped to my knees and fell unconscious before the others stormed inside.

"Thea! Thea!" May tried to shake me awake. She placed her two fingers on the inside of my wrist and sighed in relief at the faint pulse. "We have to get her out of here!" She ordered out sternly to the other agents. Soon enough a team rushed in with a stretcher and I was taken away.

"Oh thank god she's awake" I heard the familiar British voice of agents Simmons call out as she rushed over to me.

"Woah take it easy there" Fitz started as I tried to sit up. He helped me to a sitting position where they explained what had happened.

~~~

"That how I got the name of the cavalry and my story about midnight oil" I finished my story.

"Thea I'm so sorry" Zachary rested a hand on my knee but removed it right away as I tensed up. "I just have one more question" he starts cautiously. I nodded for him to continue. "Do you wear long sleeved shirts to cover up the scars?"

I responded by rolling up my sleeves to reveal the white scratches all over the skin from the possessed agents who had attacked me.

"Oh my god" he gasped.

"All agents report to the control room" Mays voice sounded out over the speakers.
