Agents of: Winter

Chapter 4

Agent May was watching the feed quietly when Coulson walked into the room. Her fingers tapping slightly on the counter top.

"She's in there, Coulson." She notified him as soon as she heard him enter.

"What?" He exclaimed as he came to look at the feed. "I just told her specifically I did not want her going in there!"

The two were silently watching for a moment. The soldier was glaring at Skye. Skye was speaking to him, rambling on as she usually did. The soldier was slightly moving but it was nothing more than the simple tugs at his cuffs.

"Go get her out of there." Coulson demanded.

"Relax. The soldier hasn't made a move to harm Skye." May told him. That didn't seem to settle Coulson any.

"Well lets do something before he does."

"Coulson, he hasn't done anything since being here. No suicide pill with him, no eating, no sleeping as far as we could tell," she pointed out.

"Fitz and Simmons keeping a reading on him?" Coulson asked and moved to look at files that they had come across weeks before.

"Of course, sir," May replied. "Simmons is worried he might be suffering from lack of nourishment. Shall we send him something?"

"As soon as he gives us some information," Coulson said as he opened the files and stared at the contents inside quietly. "Which may be a while..." He said with a frown.

"Why is that?" May asked as she turned away from the feed and looked over Coulson's shoulder.

"Well... we knew he was an assassin for HYDRA... Apparently he's a trained Russian assassin. You know how they train their agents, just look at Agent Romanoff."

May gave a nod at this and looked to Coulson. "Should we speed this up and try to get him to talk? I think I remember the truth serum working perfectly for that snake in the cell," she said the last part of her sentence with venom.

"That's an excellent idea actually. We'll try it later. Now speaking of the devil, how is Ward?" He asked.

Agent May moved over to switch to the feed of Ward. He was locked in a cell, laying in bed staring up at the ceiling.

"Not doing much of anything," Coulson replied before looking away and Agent May switched it back to the soldier and Skye.

Skye finally talked herself out, not knowing what else to say. The soldier had looked down to his hands. "So..." She said sitting back.

Nothing.

She sighed slowly. "Guess... Guess I'll talk to you later..." She said slowly rising.

He looked up at her, his eyes following her as she went to the door. She opened the door.

"See you, Skye," he said softly barely a whisper.

Skye stopped dead and looked back at him. He blinked a few times before looking away. Skye smiled before leaving him alone.
