Hail HYDRA | Skyeward

Episode 7: The Hub

***

Coulson is dragged through a dimly lit corridor with pipes on the ceiling as if he was underground, there's a bag over his head and his hands are bound together as two soldiers drag him and another soldier follows to make sure he doesn't try and do something stupid, into a room filled with equipment and a chair in it.

The soldiers sit Coulson down and remove the bag off his head. "I don't mean to alarm you, but I think you may have a mold problem. That sink with the standing water seems especially concerning." Coulson remarks with a smile at the soldier standing in front of him.

That same soldier punches Coulson in the face before he turns to his fellow soldier. "Just wait until the interrogator gets here. He won't be smiling then." the soldier said in Russian.

"Looking forward to it." Coulson comments, which caused the soldiers to turn towards him surprised that he understood what they said, when heavy footfalls echo around the room and they all turn seeing someone coming down the hallway, it's the interrogator and undercover SHIELD agent, Agent Shaw.

Shaw then surveys Coulson before going over to the instrument tray, he picks up one of the tools it looks rather like something that can remove teeth before he sets it down and picks up another tool and walks over to Coulson who stares into Shaw's eyes.

"You have the intel on you?" Coulson asked.

Shaw acts confused and tilts his head. "They know," Coulson elaborates.

"They know?" Shaw asked.

"We have three minutes, Agent Shaw."

With a yell, May rushes in and kicks one of the soldiers in the chest, there's a spark and Coulson is released from his handcuffs, he then punches one of the guards in the face as he stands up, May elbows one of the soldiers and knocks him out, Grant enters the fight and knocks a soldier out, Shaw throws a knife into one of the soldiers heart's.

"Time to go, Agents." Grant said.

"Exit?"

"Follow me." May replied.

May goes first, followed by Shaw, Coulson and finally Grant who does a quick glance at the soldiers that had just been taken down, the four of them run through a hallway passing the knocked out soldiers on the way.

"I was wondering what you guys had been up to." Coulson comments getting no response in return.

May then jumps up and grabs a wheel on the ceiling and turning it. It drops open like a port on a ship. Coulson looks up into sky and waves to the others. "Go."

Grant goes first seeing as no-one else is moving. "Alright," he climbs up the ladder and into a snowy patch of ground as if on an iceberg, Coulson follows after him and Grant gives him a hand getting out.

May and Shaw follow not long afterwards and all of them jump onto a sled. "Um, where are the dogs?" Shaw asked confused.

"Don't be ridiculous." Coulson replied as he tightened his tie and then the cables under the sled are snapped tight and it moves forward. The cables are attached to something inside The Bus and they are being pulled directly for it.

Skye's in the Community Room when Fitz walks in holding a cup of coffee, Skye's scrolling through a tablet when she notices Fitz. "What's going on in the lab now?" she asked looking up.

"Simmons is performing a paranasal extraction, don't ask." Fitz said as he sat down across from Skye, the woman just nods and goes back to her tablet while Fitz drinks his coffee and gazes out the window, a few moments later Coulson walks in shortly followed by Simmons.
