The Story:

CLOSED TO JEMMA AND FITZ

[Skye woke up to that growingly familiar burning sensation of pain that radiated throughout her abdomen, which she’s been dealing with ever since she got shot three weeks ago. She was getting ready to call Simmons back in to give her more pain meds when she realizes how different this bed feels, and the familiar tugging on her arm from the IV was gone when she brought a hand up to her face.

Opening her eyes panic instantly sets in when she finds herself in a completely unfamiliar room and all of the annoying equipment she had been hooked up to was gone.”]

Jemma?

[No answers, and she’s clearly the only one in this room with no windows. Mind racing with a billion scenarios as to where she could be and how she got here, Skye gets out of the bed slightly hunched over but hurrying over to the door. Pressing her ear against the door she doesn’t hear anything and risks carefully opening the door to look outside. Yeah, none of this was familiar. This wasn’t the bus and she has nothing with her to protect herself with, but she fears she would just be a sitting duck if she stays in her room. Even if walking around right now was proving to be way more difficult than she wishes it was. In fact she doesn’t get very far before the hallway is tilting and she’s collapsing to the floor.]

Diner

[Skye isn’t really feeling like herself, but, she should try to eat something. Even if eating recently has been a struggle. Finding a diner on the floor above where she had come out of, Skye walks in looking like death warmed over. Taking a seat at one of the booths, Skye reads over the menu although most of it didn’t look very appealing to her right now.]

Garden

[Skye had overheard someone saying there were dinosaurs outside, but despite even waking up in this place, Skye found that hard to believe without checking it out for herself.

They weren’t joking.]

How high am I right now?

[She’s speaking to herself, but, if someone overhears her hopefully they can convince her that they’re seeing it too.]

Wildcard

[Have something in mind or want to work out a specific thread? Feel free to either make up something or send me a PM or plurk]

Comments

[morethan084]

I'd say that's pretty impressive.

[Where's the night-night gun when you need it?]

You know, considering.

[redheadpepper]

I've - seen what happens when it doesn't work. Or what's left, which isn't much.

[ Pepper runs a hand through her hair absently. ]

A friend of mine nearly got killed by a guy with - the same stuff as me.

[morethan084]

So multiple people have been, what? Injected with whatever this is?

[redheadpepper]

Yes. I think most of them volunteered for it, though.

[ Pepper absolutely did not. ]

It's called Extremis.

[morethan084]

Sounds like a pretty appropriate name.

[She wishes Pepper would let Fitz and Simmons take a look at though.]

[redheadpepper]

I'd probably call it "torture serum" but what do I know? I'm just - me.

[ A trophy. She winces a little at the memory. ]

I won't blame you if you want to get away from me, it's pretty - scary.

[morethan084]

[Having dealt with Mike going through something similar, of course she's cautious, but, she knows that being left alone wouldn't help things either.]

I'm not scared. I just think you need to find someone who can help, even if Tony isn't here.

[AKA her friends.]

[redheadpepper]

What makes you think these people you know might be able to help me?

[ Pepper definitely wants help! She's just not sure how much she can trust a bunch of strangers right now. ]

[morethan084]

Because they're from SHIELD

[She figures that name might have some weight.]

[redheadpepper]

[ And it certainly does. Pepper glances at the younger woman, surprised. ]

How do you know about that?

[morethan084]

[Yeah. She was expecting that sort of reaction. It’s honestly a relief, because, maybe now she’ll take it seriously.]

Because I’ve been helping them out.

[redheadpepper]

[ It's not a name she was expecting to hear, in this place. Not from - well, from someone who looks like Skye does. All of the SHIELD agents Pepper has met have had quite a different aesthetic, to be fair. ]

Okay. Where are these friends of yours?
