Chapter 67 Afterlife
When Gordon first appeared in the cabin to invite Skye to join them, she refused because somewhere in her heart she still believed that she was an ASCHEN agent and a member of ASCHEN. Later, when she decided to accept the invitation to follow Gordon, it was more out of the desire to escape reality. At that time, she never expected that the "afterlife" would become a destination that made her so relieved and depended on. There was also Jia Ying. Although Skye always thought she was a good person, she was still shocked when she learned about her true identity...
......
OK, maybe it's better to start from scratch.
About a week ago, the night when the big and blue Kerry ran to her quarantine cottage to look for her, an eyeless guy knocked on her door. The man claimed to be Gordon, saying that he was her kind - an alien, and that his purpose was to take her to his companions.
For a moment, this proposal was really exciting, but Skye refused. Because as mentioned before, deep down she still believed that she was an ASCHEI agent—and even though she had not taught her mother when she was a child, she knew that it was not a good habit to get into strangers' cars casually, especially when the other party was still an eyeless guy.
Gordon didn't mind, turned around and left, saying that he would give her time to think. And he promised that as long as she changed her mind and called Gordon's name, he would arrive in time.
What Skye had never expected at that time was that her idea would change so quickly.
Because she was locked in such a cottage hidden in the forest, she was not very clear about the specific process of the matter. She only knew that in general, there seemed to be a group of other people in SHIELD who were not very satisfied with Colson's takeover as Chief of SHIELD, especially with Colson's handling of the unstable factor of Skye. So they launched an armed coup, seized control of Skye, and sent agents here to arrest Skye.
Next was a small conflict that happened in the mountains and forests... Maybe it might be a little bit lighter to say that the small conflict might be. The agent shot at her, and for a moment Skye felt that he might be dead...and then things happened.
The vast and boundless power surged into her body like a flood that could not close the gate, wandering around her limbs and bones. She seemed to be able to feel the shock of every molecule that formed her body, and felt the earth trembling under her feet. She had no idea, and the idea of stopping the bullet from shooting at her overwhelmed everything. Then the torrent spit out along her arms, and the earth-shaking shock wave blew the bullet away from afar... and there were also ten trees a hundred or ten meters high.
The poor agent was shaken out from afar, and a trunk was inserted into his arm. A large area of thick tree broke in the waist, and the soil in the ground was lifted up, and within a radius of ten meters centered on her, they were cleaned up.
Skye was frightened, she was frightened by herself.
White Hall firmly believes that obelisks can produce weapons of mass destruction, and it seems that he is right after all.
Skye felt that he was that weapon.
Then almost subconsciously, she called Gordon. She wanted to escape from here and escape from the existing facts. And she could no longer deceive herself that she was an agent of SHIELD, unless she was hunted down by other agents, it was also a link in the agent's daily mission.
Gordon did not break his promise. He flashed like a ghost in a blue light, and then disappeared in a burst of the same blue light with Skye. Then before she could react, she came here - "The Afterlife", a place where the aliens gathered.
No one knows exactly where this place is, because it is completely isolated from the world, and the only way to enter and exit is the superpower of the instantaneous movement of the alien named Gordon. The scenery here is quite good, surrounded by mountains, and it looks like a turquoise green. When the sun rises in the morning, it will be coated with a layer of shining gold edges among the mountains, hazy and unique beauty of nature.
The first thing she met here was Lincoln Campbell, a handsome young man. He claimed to be in Cincinnati and was a student studying in medical school. He was also an alien, and his ability to control or release electric currents.
At first Skye was still a little alert, but she had to admit that the young man quickly helped her feel at ease. He was a very talkative person, and introduced her to a lot of things about this gathering place and helped her believe that she had not come to some kind of strange camp. He told Skye that the "afterlife" was like a transit station, and that the aliens were brought here from all over the world at the right time, and for most people, this was just a temporary place to live.
Soon she discovered that Lena - the woman who entered the temple in an alien city with her - was also here. But her image is hard to say that she is human. Her head is covered with barbs and her face is distorted, and she is the kind of image that can linger in your mind all night long after meeting and give birth to your nightmare. Lena hates what she has become, which makes her feel in pain.
But at the cost of these, Rena seemed to have gained the ability to predict the future to some extent. This was not something she could control, but she would sense strange images from time to time, and these images were proven to be fragments of the future many times.
Finally, Skye met Jia Ying, the manager of this place.
When she first saw Jia Ying, Skye was also quite alert. She suspected that this might be related to the other party's strict expression and the few shallow scars on her face. But soon she discovered that the manager was actually a pretty good person.
Jia Ying patiently taught her to embrace her talents, told her not to be afraid, and guided her to try to use and develop her abilities. Under her guidance, Skye discovered that this ability was not as terrible as she imagined. She could not only cause mountain shocks across the air to cause avalanches, but also shake a row of cups filled with water to let them play their own songs.
But all of this is not as shocking as Jia Ying told Skye that she was her mother.
What happened next was like a dream. The sudden fact that happened was too perfect, perfect like a fragile mirror and moon, making Skye suspect that she might suddenly sit up from the bed in the next second and find that it was her dream of sitting alone on the bed.
She spent most of her life trying to figure out who her parents were, but even if she borrowed the resources of ASCHUN, she would have gained nothing. And now, at this moment, her biological mother suddenly appeared in front of her and gave her a warm hug, telling her that everything was fine.
While Skye was still trying to digest this fact, Jia Ying then introduced her father to her - she was also brought to the "afterlife".
His name is Calvin Zabo, a doctor. When Jia Ying led Skye to see him, he was holding a bouquet of white flowers in his hand and wearing a tan suit, standing like an at a loss-watching elementary school student, looking at her in a hurry, as if afraid that his image as his father would disappoint her.
She even learned that her real name was not Skye, but Daisy, Daisy Johnson.
For the first time in her life, she had the most perfect dinner with her parents.
All of this is really perfect, so perfect that it makes people afraid to accept it. A place where she lives in the same person as her does not have to be afraid or hide her abilities, and then she also finds her parents who have been looking for her life to accompany her... For a while, she almost believed that she could find peace here.
In fact, when she looked back, she felt that there might be room for recovery. If Lena had borrowed the ability to predict the future, they might have expected the misfortune that was about to come to the paradise of "the afterlife".
If Jia Ying hadn't killed Lena in advance because of fear of her foresight.
