Chapter 75

"I'm missing something. Why does Hydra want Skye?" Kara asks and we all turn to her. In all that was going on, I'd forgotten to tell her.

"She is the same as Ward here!" Fitz stated since he knew I would tell her all the same.

The news dawns on her. "That's why Hydra wants her. They're collecting powered people and now she's on that list."

"Exactly. We have to get her back and find out what Hydra is doing with or to these individuals." Coulson explains.

"Are we sure we want 33 on this?" Hunter not so quietly says.

"My name is Kara." She spits threw her teeth.

I shake my head. Hunter never helps. "Hunter, relax. I trust Kara. She's with us 100% on this. She might not like Skye but she'll do what she can to help. She's on our team." I give him a look and he throws his hands up in defeat.

"Sorry, but I see how Kara looks at you. I don't want her getting any funny ideas and trying something on Skye." Hunter grumbles.

I roll my eyes.

"That's enough Hunter." Coulson states as he takes a seat.

I'm not too far behind when Hydra lands. I put the quinjet down on the roof.

"Talk to me Fitz, what's going on?"

"Sir, I think Skye's in the building." Fitz looks to all of us.

As soon as I can get out of my chair, I do.

We all get ready and climb out.

"Spread out. Find Skye and get back here. Fitz, you stay here and monitor Mike's feed."

Hunter, Kara, Coulson and I exit the jet and run into the building.

My adrenaline is up and I can hear the blood soaring through my veins. My arms are up and I'm holding my weapon up, ready to fire.

I quickly scan the stair case and we make it onto the top floor. "Ward, you're with me. Kara, go with Hunter."

Kara looks to me and I nod to her. She'll be safe with Hunter. No matter what a jerk he is, he wouldn't let anything happen to her. Just to be safe I spread my observation Haki so as to buy get ambushed.

I'm not far into the hallway when I hear, "Mike sees her. Skye's on the 10th floor." Fitz voice rings into our comms and I could already sense her.

All of us make our way down and before we go into the hallway, I hear Fitz again, "Sir, I've lost Mike's feed. Someone is trying to hack into it."

Coulson and I look at each other before heading into the hallway. The floor is crawling with Hydra. We all start shooting.

"We need to split up." Coulson yells from behind a door.

"We'll cover you. Go find Skye." Hunter looks at Coulson then at me. I can see he's determined to get Skye back.

With Kara and Hunter covering us, we make our way down the hall and turn down two hallways. We don't see anybody until a guy comes flying out of a room. With guns up, Coulson and I approach.

Mike comes out and falls on his knees.

"Who the hell is that guy?" I ask. He's not Hydra.

"Don't know. Packs a mean spark. I think he's protecting, Skye." Mike groans and starts to stand.

"Where's Skye? Can you scan this floor?" Coulson asks Mike.

"Last time I saw, she went around that corner." Mike points. He's still having a hard time standing. I frown, this guy must be packing to put Deathlock down.

"You gonna be ok?" I ask Mike.

He nods. "Go get your girl." He answers and I can feel my mouth twitch in a small smile.

Coulson and I run now. We are both dying to get to Skye.

Out of nowhere, four Hydra agents jump out. I take two down fast but the other two are taking a beating at Coulson. I yank one off and starts to beat him. With only one to fight, Coulson is gaining advantage.

I take the guy down just as Coulson takes his guy down too. I hand him a gun and we both look up to see Skye at the same time. She's looking at us in shock, surprise and amazement. I can see her trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

"Skye." Coulson said relieved.

Skye smiles. "Coulson?" And she doesn't hesitate to come toward us.

I sigh in relief. We got her.

We both looked shocked when a man with no eyes appears. He says something to her and all I hear her say is, "No. Please. No. Not yet."

Knowing what was going to happen I stretched my hand towards them though not at full speed so as to not reach them on time and get teleported with them when Cal jumped on them from out of nowhere and all three are gone just as fast as the man had appeared.

"Dammit. We had her." Coulson is shaking his head. He looks just as shocked as I would if I didn't know what was happening. The man on the floor stirs and I knock him back out with a kick. Really knowing what would happen in the future is really good as I can act with perfect expressions.

Coulson's staring at the spot where Skye disappears. Another Hydra agent runs out and aims at Coulson. I shoot before Coulson even has time to turn.

"We need to leave, sir. Skye's gone. Mike is down and Hydra is storming the building. Who don't know how many more powered people are here. We need to—" I see Kara holding up Hunter. They're making their way towards us, "what the hell happened to you?"

"Flesh wound." Hunter answers but fails at looking ok. He looks like he lost a lot of blood.

"A bad one." Kara warns me.

"Bullets won't work on me Sir, if they are from handguns they would ricochet back, I have been training with my powers, if you want I can take care of them" I stated deciding to show my strength.

Coulson looks at me for a minute. "Let's get back in the air. I've got an idea. Or the start of an idea, anyway."

We cover each other's backs but we only pass by three Hydra agents on the way back to the roof. We call out for Mike but he's nowhere. He's gone, along with Hydra. I hope Coulson's idea is another one to get to Skye.

"Where's Bakshi?" Coulson looks around.

"If he thought he'd have a chance with List, he might have gone with him. But don't worry, he'll listen to orders. He'll gather intel."
