Daisy POV

Electric currents course through my body and I wither on the floor. The men come closer and then are on either side. They talk but I can't catch a word as the pain is too extreme but then I hear two cracks as two soldiers stand on both my arms. Then it happened. Everyone flew backwards and I felt my powers flood back into my body. The pain has re started my powers, they must have been taking me to the lab to give me another shot of the blocker, which prevented them. The building shakes and starts to crumble but I cannot move, the agony is too much. My powers have saved me but are hurting me still, they are gift and a curse. The building starts to crumble, giant blocks of ceiling starts to come down. The walls topple and land everywhere, bricks land on my legs and then one comes and hits me in the chest, completely winding and immobilising me. I just lie there. Then something spectacular happens. I see the sky. It's dark and dotted with stars, which decorate it and illuminate the beauty it beholds. The stats begin to blur as I fade out of consciousness and just before blackness engulfs me I say

"I am free."

May POV

I run towards my dad, he is tied to a chair in the centre of the rink. I rush to undo the ropes but as I do a voice bellows over the speakers.
"Stop!"
I look to see if anyone is around me and then I spot the camera and beside the camera a live video feed. There are 3 images, one is of Mack and Coulson in the base, one is of Fitz and Simmons walking towards a forest and then one is just static. Daisy.
"What do you want?" I ask, and then a laugh comes over the speaker. It fills the rink.
"You can either save your dad or your friends, there is bomb under your Dad's chair, which you can de-activate with the finger scanner but then your friends are all shot, or you don't save your dad and your friends are safe. Your choice, also if your dad stands up the bomb will detonate and you have 2 minutes before it explodes. Make your decision..." the voice trails off.

I turn to my dad with tears in my eyes, I don't know what to do. My dad looks at me and says "You'll get back up Milly, you always do." Then he pushes me away and I fall and slide across the rink and then he stands.

The explosion blows me back and I land looking at the flames that have engulfed my dad.
