Sometimes things are more magical than you know ~ Agents of SHIELD #wattys2015

Turn, turn, turn (75)

Simmons did not like it to say, but... Tripp and she had messed up. Sort of. Hydra had infiltrated SHIELD, and Hand... She was one of them. She had caught them in the lab.
"The rest of your possibly short lives, depend on this moment. Hydra has succesfully infiltrated SHIELD, at the hightest level. It only took seven decades, and today is our coming out party. We have the support of the level nine and ten agents. And those who resisted, has Hydra crossed off. Director Fury included."
Simmons swallowed. This wasn't going as it was supposed to. She begged that Andromeda could hear this conversation.
"I am here to offer you a choice, and it's a simple one at that. Either swear your loyalty to Hydra, right now, for all time, or share Fury's fate."
Hand her men pulled their guns, and Simmons looked at Tripp. She nodded very softly. He knew what to do.
"I won't wait long."
Tripp took someone's gun, punched a guy in his face, and pressed a knife to someone his throat.
"Cross us off, and one of you goes too."
Hand started to smile. "Right answer. The number of peole I trust is now seven. Where are we on the round-up?" She asked one of her men.
The man answered, but Simmons didn't know where to look. What had just happend?
"That was a... Test?" She asked.
"That a very few have passed," Hand replied.
"I thought we were dead," Simmons sighed full of relief. "You're not Hydra. Thank god."
"But don't celebrate just jet. We may not be Hydra, but your friend Coulson, he is."

"Are you mad? How could you be saying this?"
Simmons was going out of her mind. Hand was convinced that Coulson was Hydra, together with agent Smith, who was actually Andromeda.
"Hydra won't show mercy. Neither will we."
"There is no way Coulson is Hydra. He is a good man, and a friend-"
"HE IS A LIAR!" Hand yelled. "Agent Blake came to me with his suspicions, that Coulson and the other level eights were involved in some conspiracy. When I saw that this former agent of your team, agent Sanchez, had fallen of the grid after she had left your group... That was the moment that I started to ask questions, not to forget that Coulson has send Blake on an op that putted him in the ICU."
"Wait, she has fallen of the grid?" Simmons asked. "And Coulson... He is not capable of what you are insinuating."
"Jacobsen, Coulson's crimes?"
"Recruiting enemies of SHIELD, disobeying a direct order, violation of international law-"
"Our beloved professor Hall died at his hand."
"Forgetting to report the crimes of his former protegé Akeela Amador-"
"Who's technology ended up somehow in Mike Peeterson's head. And you know his crimes."
"You helped us, saving Coulson from the clairvoyant. "
"Yet, when we found this braindead clairvoyant, a certain Asguardian made his man Ward shot the man, what brings me to the fact that this same Asguardian is busy killing all the men in this building!"
"She what-"
"The lies add up agent Simmons. Don't tell me he never kept a secret from you."
She had a point there.
"The worst thing you can do right now, is underestimating Hydra. We-"
"Ma'am, I am sorry to interrupt, but we have a situation," one of Hand her men said.
"The Asguardian is coming our way."

"I say we use Fitz' sweet little mouse hole, and put two bullets through Victoria Hand's heart."
Fitz, Coulson, May and Garrett were in a control room, talking about their options. They had to do something.
"Without questioning?"
"Questioning what? Whether she wants to kill us fast or slow?"
"The last time we did that, an innocent man died."
"Because that nice all time encyclopedia knew Hand would want that!" Garrett yelled.
"Phil, this is a battle for SHIELD's soul, and we are on the front lines. History will remember us this day."
 "That's right. It's for SHIELD's soul, and murder without consideration is-"
"CONSIDERATION? CONSIDER THIS! She had one of my men killed with a bomb, and two others were floating in a pool. And they weren't doing the backstrow."
"We can just as easily ICE her," May said.
"She is not someone you put on ice. She had Skye shot in the stummick, in the stummick! Because she was curious. Mike Peterson, burned alive, and turned in some kind of freak! She tortured you, using the same machine she used on that bitch in the flowerdress, and right now, she  is probably doing the same on agent Simmons. Phil, I have considered it plenty, my friend."
"No, Simmons will be fine."
"I'm just being realistic, kid."
"I never mentioned that," Coulson said.
"I'm telling you, killing her quick would be a mercy."
"I never said Raina had been in the same machine. I never told that to anybody."
"I must have read it in a report then."
"You weren't with us."
"The point is, how many more have to suffer before Vic gets hers?"
"You showed up right after."
"Where are you talking about?"
"After Skye was shot. Quinn said I would be leading the clairvoyant to the cure. That's exactly what I did. I walked you right in there with me. "
"Phil, it's  been a rough day, I get it.  But you need to take a second, and..."
Garrett was silent, and sighed.
"Dammit."
At the same moment, a SHIELD strike team came in.
"Freeze! Don't move. Hands were I can see them."
"Easy fellows."
"Take agent Garrett into custody, he is the murderer they call the clairvoyant!" Coulson ordered. "He is a traitor!"
"Gentlemen. I know agent Sitwell was in charge of filling your ranks, so at least a few of you know what to do in this situation."
Nothing happend.
"Any time, boys."
Some of the strike team shot eachother.
"Hail Hydra," Garrett grinned.
"HAIL HYDRA!"
