"...Karma's a relaxing thought

Aren't you envious that for you it's not?

Sweet like honey, karma is a cat

Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me

Flexing like a goddamn acrobat

Me and karma vibe like that

Spiderboy, king of thieves

Weave your little webs of opacity

My pennies made your crown

Trick me once, trick me twice

Don't you know that cash ain't the only price?

It's coming back around..."

A few hours later we infiltrate Coulson's secret base. Honestly, that man is so predictable it's sad. We quietly eliminate everyone on our way to my old team. When we find them they're in what looks like a 1970s living room. Skye is cuddled up with some Hispanic dude wearing a weird ass leather jacket. I roll my eyes at her predictability. Dude looks like he's got issues a mile long, but he looks at her like she's Aphrodite. Been there, done that. No fucking thank you. Coulson is cooking in the kitchen like a typical middle class white dad. Agent May is scowling at a report like it personally offended her.

"How very... Domestic. Where's Fitz?"

I lean casually against the doorframe, but the rage in my eyes betrays my relaxed stance. As usual, Skye is the first to react.

"What the hell are you doing here, Snake!"

I snort at the incredibly sad insult. Honestly, I'm disappointed and underwhelmed.

"I need information. Specifically, who hurt Jemma and why the fuck isn't she seeing a therapist? Before you start with the whole you're a monster, go and die in a hole shtick, she's my soulmate. Whatever Jemma went through damaged her enough for her soul to need me. Considering she's a saint you're gonna need to help me out with that. I want the future Mrs. Ward to get all the help she needs so she can be happy and healthy. So start talking."

Everyone in the room looks at me like I've lost my mind. That's what happens when you meet your soulmate, bitches. Except May, she just looks intrigued and like she knows something I don't. I really fucking hate that woman. I mentally sigh before I turn my attention to her. Well? Spit it out.

"I always knew she had you wrapped around her little finger."

I glare menacingly before Coulson clears his throat to get my attention.

"After the uprising I sent her undercover into Hydra. She did really well. Better than I thought she would. She didn't go alone though, I sent Bobbi, another undercover agent, in to protect Simmons just in case."

I scowl as my hands shake with rage. I know Skye and her boyfriend are watching me, but I'd give anything to kill Coulson right now. Well, almost anything.

"A few months after she came home from Hydra, we found these stone monoliths. They seemed harmless enough. No one could have known that they would transport her to another planet, Ward."

My self control snaps and I see red. Before I know what I'm doing I've crossed the distance from the living area to the kitchen and slammed him against the wall using the force of my forward motion and my rage. I break his nose with one fluid punch while I scream at him.

"Yes, you fucking did know! Every. Single. Time. We messed with alien shit it went bad. The Chitauri virus almost killed her, the Berserker staff made me lose control, that Asgardian bitch made me do things I didn't want and now the monolith. The fucking monolith transported her to another planet where some alien bastard raped her."

With every bomb I drop I get angrier, throwing another aggressive punch to his solar plexus, his face, his throat, a knee to his abdomen and a kick to his groin. No one tries to stop me, too shocked to interfere. I only stop when he crumples to the ground. I walk back to my men, my chest heaving with exertion. I'm still furious, but I have control of myself again.

"Here I am again, fixing your mess. This is the last time you fuck up my girl's life."

I stride out of the room leaving everyone shocked. I've wasted enough time here. I need to get back home to Jemma. We have a long road ahead of us, but as long as we have each other we'll survive. I know we'll be okay. I'll always catch her when she falls.
