Elemental Problems

A Shot of Closure

"What the hell do you want, Ward?!" Skye growls out, gun and hand raised.

"I've come for closure. And I suggest you lower your weapons or the walls will get painted with Agent Brenton's blood."

Coulson immediately lowered his ICER. He nudges May and she hesitantly lowers hers, too. Skye lowered her weapons but not her hand.

"Now let him go Ward." Coulson says, his hands slightly raised.

"With pleasure." Ward shoots Agent Brenton in the other leg and pushes him towards Coulson. Coulson catches him just before he hits the ground and drags him over to the wall.

Skye reacts at the shot and thrusts her hand forward, intending to use her powers on Ward but instead she screams and collapses. Coulson runs forward again and dives to catch Skye.

"Nice try, Skye, but I was already prepared. I had my team set up inhibitors that reverse the effects of an Inhuman's power. Nice try though." Ward steps towards them but is blocked by May. "Now for the closure."

Ward makes a grab for May's shoulder and raises the gun to her stomach.

Before either make contact, Elizabeth - who has been observing from the background - pushes May aside and takes her place. Ward not sensing it until too late, fires three shots into Elizabeth's abdomen.

Elizabeth grabs the side of Ward's face and burns it along with his eye. He screams and reels back, tumbling to the floor. Two of his six men that trailed in behind him rushed forward and pulled him away while the others raise their guns and back out of the room.

All at once Elizabeth's powers subside and she finally feels the roaring pain in her stomach. She grabs at it and stumbles back.

Falling she could see May running towards her, yelling something she couldn't hear. Strange, she thought as she falls into darkness.

A/N- Hello again my sweet angels, hope you enjoyed this chapter. Also, I find it extremely hard to write in third person, does any of you?
