Jemma was barely adjusting to Marrowood. It was such a sharp and sudden change from what she had left behind. Sure, their lives weren't exactly safe, working for SHIELD, but this was something else entirely. This was like living their lives in some sort of awful horror film. Or, to be more honest, several different horror films all meshed together. It was rather a lot to take in. And that was without thinking about Ward's presence. Or the fact that Skye had completely lost her mind or possibly been brainwahed. Those were the only possible explanations for the way she insisted on defending Ward and explaining away everything he had done. It was disgusting and, as much as she cared about Skye, she could not bring herself to be a part of the other woman's life so long as she was involved in Ward's. She had been spending more time than she cared to admit at the Bootlegger. Killian was a decent man, for a pirate, and she enjoyed talking to him. Plus, it gave her a break from the insanity of this place. So, when the Purge began, she was there. Thankfully she had her medical kit on hand, which would likely prove useful as things went on. And she had her ICERs, which would allow her to defend herself. Still, she didn't really like her odds. "Tell me," she asked Killian, "is it always this exciting?" |
