Chapter Twenty Six Past Repeating
Skye sighed as Ward landed the plane in the garage. This one was gonna be a hard one to explain. Especially to Coulson. Skye gave Ward a look as he stopped the plane and they began to limp out. They opened the tailgate to see Coulson coming near them with his hand up in the air.
"Hello?!" He yelled. "How come you guys didn't send any updates! Did you get the agent?!"
Then Coulson got a closer look at the two of them and turned pale. "You guys, what happened?! Are you ok?"
Skye sighed and began to see black spots again. She fell forward as Coulson caught her and held her up.
"What happened?" He asked, worried.
Skye sighed as the reality check started to roll in. May almost killed me. My S.O almost killed me. She began to shake, traumatized.
Coulson put his hand on top of Skye's head. He felt the crusted blood on her hair and sighed. He saw the giant bruise that crawled across the sighed of her head and the other scars she had. Then he looked at Ward, and saw the gash on his side from the knife, and the dried blood running down his forehead. Then he looked at how he was holding his body and realized a few things were probably sprained or broken. Coulson sighed. He knew only one person could have done this much damage.
"Where's May?" He asked, rubbing his forehead.
"Sir," Ward started off. "She attacked us. We had nothing to do with it. It was all her. She even pointed a gun at Skye-"
"Let me just see her!" Coulson yelled and shrugged Ward off.
Ward sighed and backed off. He went back over to Skye as she fell into his arms and started crying. He squeezed her comfortingly.
❃
"May?" Coulson asked as he walked into the plane.
He then saw her, tied up in the chair. He went over to her and kneeled down in front of her.
"What were you thinking?!" He asked.
May looked at him and tried to pull free. "Coulson. You need to listen to me. Ward is evil."
Coulson sighed. "May he's not! There's plenty of proof! Skye and Ward are even-"
"Are even what?" She asked.
"Even.....thinking about moving Ward up a higher level," Coulson finished, saving it just in time.
"Coulson!" May yelled. "You have to believe me! Ward is Hydra!"
"How do you know?!" Coulson yelled.
"Because," May replied. "I heard him say it."
"Say what?"
"Hail Hydra."
❃
"Ok Skye you're all set!" Simmons said as she helped Skye off the table. "You don't have any deathly injuries just a small concussion. My only order is to take it easy for a few days. It's not like you have anything big plans coming up or anything anyway."
Skye looked at Ward and sighed.
"So you're good," Simmons finished.
Then Ward moved over to Simmons as she checked him up and down. She cleaned his wounds, and stitched up his gash from the knife.
"Where did you guys get these injuries from again?" Simmons asked curiously while she x-rayed Ward's arm.
"From the Hydra base," Ward answered quickly. "We didn't manage to get the agent."
"Oh," Simmons sighed sadly.
Then Coulson walked in.
"Ward," he said. "May I have a word with you?"
"Of course," he said as Simmons finished his x- ray.
Ward followed Coulson into the other room.
"What do you want sir-"
Then Coulson punched him. Ward's head went flying backwards as he grimaced in pain.
"Sir what the hec-"
"HOW COULD YOU!" Coulson yelled furiously.
"How could I what?!" Ward asked as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
"LOOK!" Coulson yelled and pulled out a tablet.
He pressed a button as a video began to play. It showed Ward. He was facing a tablet on a wall. He was talking to someone.
"Hail Hydra," he said with a grin.
"Hail Hydra," the other person replied.
Then the video ended. Ward stood there, gaping.
"Sir, I- I- I swear I didn't do that I-"
"I want to believe that too," Coulson said as small tears began to build up in his eyes. "I really do. Especially with you and Skye getting married in a couple of days and all but, May is right. You were Hydra all along."
"No! No Coulson you have to believe me-"
"What's going on?!" Skye asked.
Then Coulson pulled out an icer and shot Ward.
❃
Ward slowly woke up to bright lights in his face. He leaped out of bed and caught his surroundings. He was in the basement, in the cell. All his nightmares were coming back.
"What- How-"
"Shh," Someone said.
He looked across the border to see Skye. He longed for her. Skye came over with the tablet and sat in the chair. She sighed and looked up at him.
"What time is it?" Ward asked.
"It's around midnight."
"They don't know you're down here, do they," Ward said.
Skye shook her head.
Ward chuckled. "It's like the old days."
Skye sighed and thought about the last time she saw Ward behind bars. She had to sneak down at night and turn off the cameras so she could talk to him about her feelings without getting caught.
"Ward, why are you in here?"
Ward sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Skye I don't know I swear I didn't say that stuff-"
"Then why does it show you did?!" Skye yelled.
Ward looked at her. "Skye you don't really believe-"
"ANSWER ME!" Skye begged.
"I don't know!" Ward exclaimed. "I have no idea how anyone has that footage because that can't be me! I didn't do that Skye I'm with Shield I love you!"
Skye sighed as tears built up in her eyes. Of course I believed him. How couldn't I?
Ward sighed as he saw Skye ready to burst into tears. He opened up his arms. "Come here."
Skye pressed a button on the tablet to make the barrier disappear. She set the tablet down and walked over to him. She fell into his arms and burst into tears. They both knew why they were sad but didn't want to say it. Their wedding would have to be cancelled. They couldn't get married.
"I know, I know," Ward said and kissed her head soothingly.
Skye hid her face in his black jacket and took in his scent. He's been framed. And I need to unframe him.
"I'll help you get proof," Skye said and looked up at Ward. "I'm not gonna stop until I get proof."
