Hail HYDRA | Skyeward

Episode 1: Pilot

"Grant, is the line secure?" Skye asked as she got into her van with her next mission from John Garret the man who raised her from birth, she'd already infiltrated the ranks of The Rising Tide and now she needed to be tracked by SHIELD, where she would collect intel with her partner Grant Ward.

"Skye, don't worry no-one can trace it. Garret doesn't know."

"I'm really apprehensive for this mission. I mean I was field trained but only enough to defend myself."

"Relax, it's gonna come in handy when Coulson and I find you...Got to go, sorry."

"Love you." Skye said knowing that Grant couldn't respond he wouldn't just hang up for no reason so someone was in the room with him and she wasn't sure if it was a SHIELD agent or Garret.

She heard the line beep three times telling her Grant had hung up and that's when she drove away to wherever she needed to be and start doing her undercover job before moving onto her other one which was be undercover in SHIELD.

Grant Ward meanwhile was heading out on a mission to retrieve something for SHIELD before everyone else got there first.

"Agent Ward, there's been a development. It's the Rising Tide. They've pinned down the location of the package. We need to abort." said Dumont over the comms.

"I'm five minutes away from retrieving it." Grant replied riding his motorbike.

"So is everyone else. They posted the coordinates online."

Grant pulls up outside a restaurant as he speaks. "If the job was easy..."

"Yeah, it wouldn't be any fun. Watch your six."

Grant removes his helmet and starts heading towards the staff entrance removing one of the trays they use to collect drinks from his jacket, he sneaks through the kitchen and moves towards a table dressed as if he was a waiter.

"Red tie. By the window."

"Puis-je prendre votre verre, monsieur?/May I take your glass, sir?"

The man says yes and then continues talking to his companion at the table, Grant starts walking up some stairs, scanning the wine glass on the tray that SHIELD had provided him so that he could get what was needed.

Grant opens the door hearing that someone was inside he closed the door silently and made his way over to the fireplace turning the drinks tray into a machine that can make it possible to see through objects and solid walls if they're hallow like the fire place.

Behind the painting was a security system that required the mans hand print so Grant used the white cloth and managed to get into the fireplace, which he did to grab something, he looks at it before looking up and seeing a woman standing in front of him.

"Your fireplace is broken."

That's when the door opens and men start coming into the living room shouting in French, Grant throws the drinks platter at one of the men and slams another one into a cabinet of some kind so that he can disarm them, the man that Grant disarmed slammed him to the ground while the blonde woman walks away.

The fireplace starts closing so the two men get out the way with one of the men holding Grant in a chokehold as he tries to fight back when Dumont speaks into Grant's comms.

"Ward, just a heads-up. We've got possible hostiles in your vicinity."

"Really?" Grant asked not at all impressed at the delayed timing before he launches himself and the man trying to strangle him over the couch causing it to fall over and the other man to let go, the men then get up as the blonde woman holding her heels walks out.
