Hail HYDRA | Skyeward

Episode 6: Among Us Hide...

Grant, Daisy and Kebo watch from the catwalk as other HYDRA soldiers set their base up. "S.H.I.E.L.D. sent a man to assassinate us. He came into our house and tried to kill us," Daisy and Grant look over at Kebo, who looks over at them in return. "'Cause you let him in. You were sloppy." Grant said.

"I followed your protocol. He killed a man to get close to you two. He wanted you both dead that much." Kebo said.

Daisy pipes up. "It's cause we tortured his ex-wife who he still loves." Kebo glances at her with a raised eyebrow. "I know, confusing."

"They all want Daisy and I dead that much." Grant drawled, Kebo recoiled slightly at the fury on his boss's face before glancing back at Daisy who had a neutral face. "Now we have a dangling thread." Grant added.

"Von Strucker." Kebo spat.

"You shouldn't have sent a boy to do a man's job." Daisy piped up.

Grant looked over at her. "You agreed to sending him," he then looked back over at Kebo. "Not really sure you'd have blended in as an undergrad watching Garner."

Kebo scoffed as Daisy spoke. "Has Von Strucker called in?" she asked, watching as Kebo shook his head. "So, he's either captured, killed, or he's running."

"Fantastic." Grant muttered sarcastically with a roll of his eyes, Daisy placed a hand on his arm in sympathy.

"And only one of those options works for us. The kid knows too much." Kebo said.

"So go and find him before S.H.I.E.L.D. does. And if he's still alive, take care of him." Grant said, before turning to Daisy. "Go with him, make sure he actually does the job." he drawled.

Daisy nodded, Kebo side-eyed her. "You want a matching scar?" she asked, Kebo shook his head. "Then don't side eye me like that." Kebo didn't answer, instead he put his jacket on and followed Daisy out.

Von Strucker is pacing in Gideon Malick's office, a fellow HYDRA enthusiast and close friend of Baron Von Strucker, while Malick pours himself a whiskey from behind his desk. "He's a monster, they both are." Von Strucker said.

"You were right to ask me to come." Malick states.

"I didn't know where else to turn. I figured you and my father must've dealt with guys like Ward and Daisy all the time. Ward and Daisy are... I didn't finish the mission. They won't care why." Von Strucker said.

"Daisy?" Malick asked curiously.

"Small Asian girl but as scary and threatening as Ward." Von Strucker said shrugging.

Malick knows exactly who he's talking about and types 'Skye Garrett' into his computer and turns it to Von Stucker. "Her?" he asked, Von Strucker nodded. "Her name is legally Skye Garrett, you've heard of John Garrett?" he asked again, once again Von Strucker nodded. "She's his adopted daughter and one of the most ruthless people to grace the Earth along side Ward, together they will destroy the world if needed and they will kill anyone who gets in their way."

"Oh great." Von Strucker scoffed sarcastically, and started pacing again.

Malick just walked around the table that his tablet sat on and stood across from Von Strucker. "If you put an untested youth in play without proper training, it's foolish. Boggles the mind, really. Your father understood protecting assets was more important than flaunting them."

"He never let me in on that stuff. You were nicer to me than he was." Von Strucker said as Malick handed him the whiskey and sat down.

"Your father was a great man. Trust me. We would've never put up with such things." Malick said with a chuckle.
