8. a common enemy

May had untied us all and left, we were going over the plan again "Okay, we're sure, right? Everyone sure? Skye asks us as we stand in a circle

"We're all on board" "Yeah, let's do this fast." Fitz-Simmons say at the same time, at this point it wasn't annoying anymore

"No turning back" I tell them

"No freezing up." Ward finishes my sentence

"Because if we do, then..." Fitz shrugs his shoulders

"We all die." Ward finishes and looks at me, I just stay quiet 

"We know." "Yeah. "Alright" Skye and Fitz-Simmons say at the same time now

"Alright." Ward says and an engine starts revving, it was May. "You guys talk a lot." she says hanging out of the car door and getting back in, Ward pushes us all out of the way and May goes driving into the lab doors, the plane shakes. We all run and start our jobs. We got equipment, devices, Simmons works on the door and May goes and pushes one open. I found rope and chains and ran back to Fitz-Simmons and Skye so I could harness them up and then we go to the balcony, Fitz flies one of his drones to where Coulson was being held.

"Simmons?" Ward asks

"Forget what I said before. This is the moment that we"ll regret" Fitz looks over to Simmons as he pressed buttons on his ipad, it beeps.

Our plan was to make a hole in the side of the plane, after Fitz device made a deep alarms start going off and the panel on the wall beside us turns from red to green "It worked." I tell them

"The drop in cabin pressure released the doors." Simmons tells us excited

"Lynn and I will take care of the soldiers, you guys get to the 084." Ward tells us what to do

"And Coulson?" Fitz asks him worried

"Let's hope he can handle himself" I say back to him as we leave the balcony of the cargo hold

We got to the main lounge door and Ward pushes it open, I try to help since there's more pressure on it. As we get the door open a man shoots at us "Get back!" Ward yells and the three of them go to the back of the bar, him and I fall to the ground. The man starts shouting in spanish but I couldn't make it out from how loud the wind was hissing. Ward gets up from the ground and starts fighting the man that came running to us, another man comes up with a gun pointed at Ward so I jump up on the counter kicking the gun out of his hand and again in the face, Ward had come to the other side as I did, a man tries hitting him but he blocks it and slams him to the couch tying his hand and punching him in the face, knocking him out and I go for the mans other arm "Go now! Find the 084!" Ward yells at the three others who were hiding.

Another man comes out of nowhere jumping on Wards back knocking the two of us and himself over, I hear Fitz yells for help and the plane starts going down. Ward and the other man get up before me, Ward knees him in the stomach and I do a kick flip to get up and kick the man in the face. The plane went back to normal for only a second and the three of us fell down to the ground then it went back to normal again. The man punches Ward twice in the side where he got shot at, I get up to knock the guy out and help Ward up as I do a man comes running into me and I grab his hand making sure he doesn't fall out the side of the plane than Ward grabs a loop on the jeans I was wearing and his other was on a beam

"Sorry Lynn" I hear Fitz-Simmons yell to me

I hold onto the man's shirt with both of my arms and he grabs my arms "No, Hold on" I yell at him, trying not to drop him then the fabric of his shirt rips, he screams as he flies out of the plane. "Shit." I say under my breath and then Ward's hand starts slipping from my jeans and it was gone "No." he yells

I go slipping to the hole of the place, I knew it was the end until I felt something catch me and I hit the carpet on the bus floor, I see a man start reaching for a gun and before he could get to it, Coulson knocks him out and I feel relieved as I stay on the ground. The plane was flying normal and the lights flicker,

Ward comes and helps me up "I read the safety pamphlet." Skye speaks out loud to us, she was the reason I was still here on the plane, I was thankful "I think you might be the first." Ward tells her as the six of us make our way over to the bar

"No other way in, huh? I was just starting to warm up to this place" Coulson picks up a broken glass and sits it on the bar, Skye goes in and reaches for a coaster to put the cup on. I assume it was something that happened between her and Coulson, I go to sit down on one of the stools

"The 084 is cooling and stable but we should call HQ and get it to The slingshot as soon as possible." Fitz says as he leans on one of the beams and Coulson moves over to Reyes who was tied up on one of the poles "I told you they were good." Coulson tells her

Simmons and Skye had both come to sit on the stools by me, Fitz hugs the beam and Ward rests his hands on the bar by me, we all smile at what Coulson had said

The plane ride to the slingshot was quiet, all of us were trying to calm down. When we got there all of us went to work, Ward and I go to the cargo hold to put things away as people were fixing the doors so it was just us. We put things away silently until Ward decides to say something "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, Skye saved my life. She might end up as more than just a consultant." I answer the question as I put things away in their cases

"That's not what I'm talking about" He looks over at me, I knew what he was really asking but I didn't want to answer. It still hurt losing people even if they weren't on my side, I mean I had that guy right there. He was depending on me even after what he did and I let him go, I stay quiet.

"If Skye wants to be a field agent, she'll need a supervising officer. Someone good." He looks over to me and I just nod my head catching his stare. We just look at each other for a moment

"Are you talking about yourself?" I ask him, laughing. I wouldn't be surprised if he was

"I mean you." He says in a low voice and I just sit there quiet, I didn't know what to say "They're happy" I say as I hear Fitz-Simmons talking and walking down the stairs with a cooler and beers in their hands

"Hey, Come on. You guys you don't want to miss this" Fitz tells us as he and Simmons sit down on the lowered ramp looking out at the sky, Skye, Ward, May and I join them

"So it'll take about 180 days to reach the sun. Now, yes, of course. it would've been faster if they used hydrogen-fueled APU's but they're having fun" Fitz says and hands Ward and I a drink as we sit down next to him

"How may of those have you guys had?" Skye says standing behind us

Simmons laughs "Skye, it's present when in the fields to unwind from time to time." Simmons says

"Yeah, especially after a hard day of everyone almost dying." Fitz adds in

"Which doesn't happen everyday right? It's an anomaly. An irregularity. Not the norm." Simmons tells her and Coulson had come up to us

"Speaking of not the norm, whose idea was it to blow a hoke in the plane?" Coulson asks, we all sit there quietly

"May said that the doors were tied to the pressurization, so I thought" I start but I was cut off "So we thought, it was the only way to release them." Simmons finishes for me

"It was everyone's idea, sir" Ward says looking up to Coulson

"Yeah, it was quite genius really." Fitz adds on

"Nice work" Coulson tells us and that made me smile

A man over an intercom says speaking "All clear for liftoff."

"Oh. Time for blastoff." Fitz says excitingly "Launching in three, two..." He put his fingers over his noses making him sound nasally and we all laugh at him than the rocket starts making a roaring sound as it goes up

"The trajectory will take it beyond the Lagrange Points. so that it doesn't hit Hershel" Fitz tells us all

"Yeah, and there haven't been any coronal mass ejections, so it shouldn't lose telemetry." Simmons adds on to what Fitz was saying, they were excited

"Guys, English" Ward tells them, after that no one says anything. We just watch the rocket go up with each other and Ward hits Fitz in the back like he had done twice now "Ow." Fitz says fast
