"More news on the investigation of the horrific murder suicide of Massachusetts Senator Christian Ward," the reporter stated. "FBI sources claim that while the Senator did leave a recorded confession other evidence found at the scene other evidence found at the scene suggests a another party may have been involved. Meanwhile, Senator Ward's..."

"He did it," Skye stated. "You know Ward did it."

"Yep," Y/N responded.

"No doubt it my mind," May said.

"The Senator should've let us help," Skye said.

"We tried, but he wanted nothing to do with us. All we can do now is try and catch Ward."

"Or put the son of a bitch down."

"Agreed," Y/N said, her and Skye given a look by May.

"Change of plans," Coulson said, walking towards the women. "We're splitting up the teams."

"We're going after Ward?" Skye asked.

"No, we're not. HYDRA found Raina. Tried to grab her in Vancouver."

"Grab her," May repeated. "Not kill her?"

"They're grasping. HYDRA knows we found the city. Maybe they think she can help them."

"We're pulling an extraction," Y/N said.

"And you're leading it. I'll head on to the city in the Quinjet with Bobbi, Mack and Fitz-Simmons. We need to locate that temple."

"So, wait - so, you want me to go with them?" Skye asked.

"We're all anxious to see the city but I'd like you to run point on Raina's interrogation. I think she'll respond to you."

"Yes, sir. I'll spread the word," Skye said, taking her leave.

"You don't want Skye anywhere near that city, do you?" Y/N asked.

"It's not the city I'm afraid of. It's her lunatic father. Keep an eye on her, okay?"

"Of course," May responded. "I'm her SO." Then she walked away.

"And is that why you don't want me near the city either?" Y/N asked. "Or is it keep Skye busy?"

Coulson sighed. "You've pushed everything down, which isn't healthy, Y/N. Your emotions were right at the surface and now you're trying to bury them. It worries me that everything that's happening it too much for you."

"I'm fine."

"Liar. You haven't been fine in a while. It just got worse when SHIELD fell and Barnes ended up not being dead... Any word?"

"Steve promised to tell me if they found him. But he was hiding for seventy years. I'm not expecting them to find him, ever... It's like losing him all over again."

Coulson rested a hand on Y/N's shoulder, rubbing it with his thumb. "I know... I'm just worried that your constantly pushing yourself too hard. That you're running, from your past, from the present."

"I'm fine, Phil. Or I'll be fine... It will just take time."

"Yeah, just don't let yourself run out of it."

Hunter, May, Skye, Tripp, and Y/N were in Vancouver, Canada, extracting Agents Sam and Billy Koenig and Raina. It was clear that HYDRA was there, looking for the brothers and Raina. Hunter was taking them out as he walked with Sam, while May and Y/N were taking out ones in a van and Tripp waited on the Bus.

"Two more down," May stated after taking out two men with icers.

Y/N and May threw them out and highjacked the van. They heading towards the location of where they were going to met everyone else. As the rounded the corner, they saw two HYDRA agents run out into the road. May stepped on the peddle and hit them.
