Beginning of the End

Out of the Shadows Into the Light

"Okay then just answer this: How long have you been with HYDRA?"

Coulson's question made everyone look at him weirdly. "HYDRA?" Trip asked, who had gained conciousness not long ago and joined them, pointing an icer to May.

"Coulson, what are you talking about? I am not HYDRA. They were destroyed." She said, her eyes having widened.

"I wish that were true. But it has come to my attention that wasn't case so I ask again: How long have you been with HYDRA?"

May put the icer on the floor and raised her hands. "Coulson, I swear I am not HYDRA." She said, hoping that he would believe her.

"Really, then why do have and encrypted line?" he asked. HYDRA used the noise in the frequencies to hide messages but that didn't mean that was their only way of communication and HYDRA could be interested in what brought him back to life as much as Garrett had been.

"Why did you try to kill me and shoot Trip?" Fitz asked, still in the lab and afraid.

"Fitz, man it was just an icer." Trip said to him but kept his attention on May.

"We should calm down." May tried but it didn't work out.

"No we shouldn't." Coulson said and descended the stairs.

"It was decidated channel to Director Fury. I swear, that's the truth." May said. Telling this was her only chance of convincing him.

"Director Fury?!" Coulson said, surprised that he wanted May to report on them.

"You have been reporting to him?" Skye asked, skeptically.

"I can tell only this." May said, refusing to say more.

"Oh come on! Really!" Fitz said and got closer to the glass to point it. "So you're saying that Fury ordered you to shoot me!" he screamed.

"I am not the only one who was calling someone with an encrypted line. Why don't you explain us whom you were talking to Fitz?"

"That has nothing to do with what is happening. Don't try to put the blame on me, May."

"Enough!" Coulson answered and walked towards the lab but keeping his eyes and gun on May. "Fitz?" he asked calmly, not wanting to terrify him even more.

"I- I was trying to talk to Simmons." He stuttered.

"With an encrypted line? Why were you even too secret-"

Fitz cut him off angrily. "You have no right to talk about secrets. You and Skye have been very secretive of the drug that saved both of you. Simmons is trying to find out what it is."

This startled May, Coulson and Skye. "Fitz, who is Simmons with? Is she doing this alone?" May asked.

"Fitz, get in contact with her and find out what she is doing. Because if whom she is talking to is HYDRA, then she is grave danger." Coulson said. Hearing this, Fitz immediately started doing as he was told.

"Skye, bring me the phone that's in my second drawer and release Ward." He commanded her. She looked at him questioningly but then she too went to do as he ordered.

"As for you," he said, turning his attention back on May. "kick the icer towards me and stand there." He pointed the wall. May did as she was told, not wanting to make Coulson even more suspicious.

Coulson took the icer and shot her. "Trip come here. We're gonna carry her to the cage." He said and put May in handcuffs. When they were about to lift her, Ward and Skye came back.

"What the hell? Why is May in handcuffs?" Ward asked.

"She is sleeper." Coulson answered as they took her away.
