In The Arms Of The Devil

Lost Round

Skye was not okay. And trying not to think about any of her problems with her family and how much worse was it then she could ever imagine. Her father a monster, mother dead torned in to pieces and her new powers that made her a monster just like her father. She managed to control them after some time. She didn't want to risk her friends getting hurt because of her so she run away from SHIELD. Young agent hid her tracks and practised her new abilities. Skye learned the hard way that using power comes at a cost. Overusing meant bruised arms at best, when it was bad her bones would brake and sometimes the impact of vibrations would tear her body apart making long deep bleeding wounds on her shoulders. Knowing that she relied more on her human fighting skills. She run away from her team just a few months after Ward kidnapped her. She hated him but she didn't feel good after shooting him. Four times might have been a slight overstatement.

She dreamed to still be on the bus with her team, with Ward being her S.O., with FitzSimmons being innocent lab rats, with silent May, (well that did not change much), and most importantly for SHIELD to still be an old SHIELD, with all the stupid protocols, Fury being the boss, with huge amount of great agents and all amazing facilities around the world. She just wanted everything to be easy. The bad guy were bad, SHIELD was good, there were no moles. But everything changed so drastically and so fast. After SHIELD fell, she buried herself in training, she pushed the pain down. But when her powers came, there was no coming back and she couldn't take that anymore. She had to run away, she needed a brake from everything. Unfortunately for her body, she run away into pain or rather fighting but not carrying about what happens to her.

She was about to go for another hunt, her target was HYDRA one thing that started everything bad in her life. If she couldn't find HYDRA she looked for something suspicious happening in the town. She would sometimes go look for trouble by just driving around the city. But today was her 'lucky day', thanks to the algorithm she wrote her laptop found HYDRA team on some sort of mission. She could take them down and then find out what they were doing. Hurting HYDRA was her main goal, she knew she wouldn't take the whole organization down but she was just trying to make them feel the pain. She blamed HYDRA for everything bad that happened. And maybe being mad and hateful wouldn't help but taking HYDRA piece by piece made her smile.

She looked at the screen for the location that HYDRA was about to hit. Skye closed her laptop and threw it into her backpack then she picked up black leather jacket laying on the couch and put it on. She left her 'borrowed' apartment and run into her also 'borrowed' car. She was tracking their team, they were ahead of her so she changed every light on they way into red. Skye parked her car in front of their destination, it was an apartment building and it looked normal.
'They have to be here for someone living in there.' Skye thought.
There were three vans full of HYDRA agents driving her way. She had to think of a plan and fast. Taking out about 20 trained and armed HYDRA agents was not something that sounded possible for her to do but giving up was not part of the plan. She decided to wait in her car. One team would probably wait outside then she will move in, fighting fourteen guys was always better than twenty.

Skye didn't have to wait long. In the next 5 minutes three black cars were stopping across the street. And just like she suspected only two teams went inside. She jumped out of the car and slipped inside of the building. She hacked cameras in the corridor to find out where their target was. It was second floor. There was twelve agents less than she thought but still a lot. She did train with May but it was barely a year, and they had years of experience.
'Okay Skye more fighting less thinking.' she cheered herself up. She quietly run up the stairs. And then everything played out really fast. She took out her Glock with 9 rounds in it. Two shots and the first guy was out one bullet into his chest, one into his throat. Bullets were flying, she managed to take out four closest to her enemies. But then the mag was empty.

"Securing the package is the priority, take care of the threat." yelled a man standing near to the apartment's door.
'I guess I'm the threat.' she thought 'great' Skye thought sarcastically.
Five guys were coming her way, aiming their M14 in her face. She used her powers and she spread their weapons to pieces. That just pissed them of, all five of them went straight to fighting. Trying to block every hit going her way was not easy but her powers helped until she felt knife going through back of her left shoulder. The whole corridor was now filled with the sound of her pain. That on the other hand, pissed her of. She shooked that knife out of her back. She overused her powers few nights ago so using that much of them now was painful just as much as the hole in her shoulder. But she didn't have a choice. Three guys in front of her went flying into the wall from the impact of her powers. She was about to turn to face the other two standing behind her but something really hard hit the back of her head. She was falling onto the ground, trying to hold on to something, to get back up. But the hit was too strong.
"Leave her, we have what we came for." said the man in charge.
She got back her vision and strength to get up when she could still hear their foot steps. Skye got to the front door thanks to the walls that were her support. But she was too late, whoever or whatever they took was in their van, about to disappear and she couldn't do anything about it.
She walked to her car and was about to get in when she saw who was across the street sitting behind the steering wheel of a black SUV, looking at leaving HYDRA. Grant Douglas Ward in the flesh. Skye knew he will lead her to them so she decided to follow him. She also knew he had a soft spot for her and she could use it, someone needed to stitch her up. Trying to ignore the pain she jumped inside of the car and started it.
