She had only agreed to this because Sebastian had asked nicely, and anything HYDRA-related always landed in her email. It was the only thing she had asked of SHEILD when they had asked her to work for them. But Addie hadn't expected to end up investigating some tiny town with one main road and too many tilted little houses.

"You know I kill people, right?" She sighed as they rolled to a stop at a set of barricades. There 4-5 police cruisers from the town they had diven through to get here.

definitely"I know, and I might need your skills yet, dear. For now, play nice and roll down the window for the officers." The old man said as he pulled out one of his many badges to show, as Addie did what he had instructed, squinting when the flashlight beam swept the car's interior. In the distance, she could see the ghost of small fires being put out here and there. This was definetly odd but not supernaturally so. At least not that she could see.

Clay had seen a lot of things in his time with the armed forces. Horrors that would be later typed, submitted, and then redacted with dark black markers. Never to see the light of day again. It was all a part of the job and something he thought he would get used to. He didn't expect to see the familiar signs of magic and spellwork in the building that they had just inflated. It smelled of something sweet and old mixed with iron. It made the man's stomach turn as he began to administer some quick first aid to the pows they had found languishing in a back room. The site had been partially abandoned but the nightmarish projects that had been done here still remained.

"Lieutenant Swanson do a lap with Private Benson and take as many pictures as possible. By the time you two are done, I'll be done triaging these people." Clay said as his hands worked to clean and bandage a nasty wound on the semiconscious man as he watched to ensure the right amount of sedative was given to the other. "We'll need the both of you to get the big guy out safely.

Addie's finger stood looking over Dorian's shoulder as he used his clearance to check Lucas's file. After almost a week and no call on her burner phone or a letter, she had started to get a little worry. And while it was here that she tried to keep their relationship as non-committal as possible it didn't mean that she wasn't worried about him. The words that began to fill the screen made her blood run cold. He had been missing along with his younger brother for weeks with no contact. The last entry into the file was a hastily updated order for retrieval with a side note for potential institutionalization if the asset could not be recovered whole.

"I want you to start some paperwork for me. Just a quick power of attorney request will be in my file marked 'JIC'." Addie said as she grabbed her bag off the back of the chair and started towards the door.

"This will cost you but I'll get the file notarized and sent over to you as soon as it's done. For a man who you aren't dating, you're sure worried about him."

The scream sounded truly agonizing. Addie could feel its vibration in her teeth as a dull ache settled in her bones. The taste of iron and flesh set heavy on her tongue. The all too familiar smell of smoke on the wind. This was so far removed from the little town's normal night of dreaming minds and restless bodies. That otherworldy sense of awareness that never let her have a moment notified her she was not alone. Dark eyes shifted back into focus and settled on a man smoking on the front porch of the house. Too immersed in deciphering his nightmares to notice her.

Addie could be gone without a sound. Halfway up the road before he lifted his head. But...his dreams spoke of suffering she never thought possible outside of battlefields and torture chambers. And for the first time in a long time, she needed to know why. She shifted her feet making noise as she turned to look as if she had been walking. Plastering a friendly look on her face as she approached.

32) the dom has been edging the sub for days and finally gives permission for them to cum, but they must do it with their own hands while the dom watches. (Addie to Lucas)
