We are all in the lab as Simmons is patching Ward up, "I'm afraid this might scar" Simmons says
"Upside, you'll look badass. Dangerous" Skye says
"He's gonna be fine, though, right?" Fitz asks
"He will if you back up and give me some room" Simmons tells him
"So what then?" Coulson asks
"By the time we got to the Fridge, it was too late. It was overrun. Hydra everywhere. We couldn't stop them" Ward explains
"What were they after?" May asks
"Everything. They took weapons, alien artifacts, anything they could grab" He says
"I assume that means the prisoners are no longer prisoners?" I ask
Ward nods his head, "So Ian Quinn?" Skye asks
I tense at the mention of that sociopath, "I'm sorry. He's out. They all are" Ward says
"And Garrett. Did he get away?" Fitz asks
"Couldn't stop them from taking the Fridge, but I wasn't gonna let Garrett walk, not after what he did" Ward says
"Is he the one that did this to you?" Skye asks
"He was a tough son of a bitch" Ward says
"Was? Past tense?" May asks
"As soon as I had the upper hand, I put two in the back of his head" He says
"Good" Fitz says
"One from me" He looks at Trip, "One from you" Ward says
"I would have emptied the mag" Trip says
"You're all set. Well, I mean, as set as you can be with two cracked ribs, and a zygomatic fracture" Simmons says
"Uh, for those of you that don't know what that is...that's a hairline fracture to the cheekbone" Fitz starts and Trip finishes
"You're body needs time to heal. Please, take some time" Simmons tells Ward as he stands up
"Understood. Thanks. Ah" He holds up the hard drive, "One small victory, Hydra didn't get their hands on this" Ward says
"A hard drive?" Trip asks
"It's all the research our team's ever done, downloaded off the plane and encrypted for safekeeping" Skye says
"We should probably back it up now that we're in a secure facility" Ward says
"First, Skye, I need you on threat assessment. Pull up a list of all the inmates at the Fridge. I wanna know just how bad this is" Coulson says
They all walk out leaving just Ward and I, "You know, you look really rough yourself" Ward says
I scoff, "Hey, I almost died a few days ago and I fought over a dozen Hydra agents, so..." I defend
"Touche, King, touche" He jokes
I walk over to him and pat his shoulder, "Glad you're okay, Ward" I tell him before I walk away
[Later On]
We are all called into an interrogation room by Agent Koenig as we see a creepy looking torture chair, "All right. Just gonna need you guys to answer a few questions. A few psychoanalytic, non-sequitur questions" He says
"A lie detector?" Coulson asks
"The lie detector, Agent Coulson. This baby measures galvanic skin response, oxygen consumption, micro expressions, biofeedback brain waves, pupil dilation, voice biometrics. Ninety six variables in all. Fury designed this himself. He wanted a lie detector Romanoff couldn't beat" Koenig explains
