One Sketch At A Time II

Chapter 9: Mysterious Discoveries

    (Jemma's POV)

   "May." Jemma whispered, staring at the translation. "The Cavalry."

   "Why is my knife named after May's nickname?" Amelia asked, pressing her face to the other side of the glass.

   "I don't know." Simmons responded, And frowned. "I'm gonna go run this by Coulson." 

   -:x:-

    "Sir, you don't understand," Jemma repeated. "Her knife's name is a direct translation into 'Cavalry'."

   "Thats impossible." Coulson responded, folding his arms. "You expect me to believe that?"

   "There is no way that this is simply a coincidence." Jemma argued. "The Greek word, 'Ippikó' means cavalry."

    "Why would H.Y.D.R.A. implant memories of a knife with a name? Why even name a knife?"

   Jemma looked at him pointedly. "You named your car Lola, a destroyer gun 'Bambino', and that captain America shot glass 'Capsie'."

   "I was drunk." Coulson defended himself. "And theres nothing wrong with a shot glass named Capsie."

   Then a load knock on the office door sounded. "Doctor Simmons! Doctor Simmons!!!" An agent hollered.

   "Whats wrong?" Jemma threw open the door.

   "Its the captive H.Y.D.R.A. clones." He breathed, out of breath. "They al jolted at the same time and died." He reported. Jemma turned to quickly follow him.

   "What else?" Coulson frowned, running to catch up with them.

   "It's Amelia." The young man said. "We don't know whats happening. She's just screaming." 

   "What is going on?" Jemma asked intently.

   "We don't know, but we evacuated the lab because she's gone nuclear." the scientist reported.

   "Nuclear?" Coulson demanded an explanation.

   "the young girl is emitting thousands of gamma rays, and the containment cubicle can't contain it. Radioactive rays are just leaking through like water through sand."

(Amelia's POV)

   What the heck was happening?!?!?!?!? 

  She couldn't even think strait, much less form a complete thought. 

   Pain soared throughout her head, like her brain was swelling two times its size every second. She screamed, standing as her hands went to her temples.

   Trying to hold back her powers, Amelia's body betrayed her, letting lose more gamma rays than she thought possible.

   This was worse than her usual headache, which had become more frequent in the last two months.

   But she needed the pain to stop.

   NOW.

   It was killing her, the flashes red hot as they tore through her skull, making the girl delirious. Falling to her knees, Amelia squeezed her head again and let out another scream.

   -:x:-

  

   (Jemma's POV)

   "Quick, put these on!" Jemma referenced to some metal aprons meant for radioactive shielding. Coulson and the scientist obeyed, Fitz running up and grabbing his own. "What is going on?" Fitz demanded.
