“...blackest night…”Rollins stopped what he was doing, one hand on the gurney.It had taken a bit — longer than he liked — but the med team had gotten Subject Jade off his feet and into a wheelchair simply to get him through the long narrow hallway and onto the gurney waiting for him.Straps were drawn as tight as they could go across a narrow chest and waist, the kid’s head hanging down as one of the medics worked at securing the IV pole to the chair. Another checked the line along his arm and the three remaining troopers had done the professional thing and gone back to acting like the last five minutes didn’t matter.He didn’t blame them, either.You didn’t need to be Level Seven to know some of the things SHIELD kept secret, and there was plenty lying around you could piece together even as a Level Two or Three. Things like all the alien scum running around the planet with all their plans for Earth, that was definitely up there.

So, nobody really had much to say when they got just a little too rigorous in questioning the alien. Fury and Banner certainly hadn’t been quick to hand out reprimands so that told everybody else where the line was.“...escape…”Rollins’s hand closed around Jade’s shoulder and jerked him back against the chair, instinct and panic overriding protocol as he heard those two syllables. “What was that?”Jade was quiet for a moment, those green eyes hidden somewhere under that curtain of black curls. “...my sight…”

The SHIELD operative frowned deeper, the medic beside him glancing up as Rollins kept his hand on the subject. “Sir…?”“Hold on.” Rollins brushed him off, attention fixed on Jade as the subject swallowed a mouthful of nothing and kept moving his lips.

“...blackest night…”He’d heard that before.Not tonight either.At least, not just tonight.Somewhere between the blood draws and bullshit, Rollins had heard those exact words in this room. It might have been two days ago, a week, or even two.It didn’t really matter.“No evil…” Jade kept going, even with his voice barely strong enough to carry. “...shall escape my sight.”Same words every time, even in a rambling looping order.There was quiet again, the subject’s breath coming shallow enough that Rollins had to wonder if he’d passed out again.Then those lips moved.“...brightest day…”All over from the beginning.“What the hell?”
