Scar waited a few minutes for her body to limply fall to the ground but it never happened, instead, she felt someone pull her to them and land on a firm chest.

Scar proceeded to gradually open her eyes one after the other, when they were fully open she noticed that she was in Seb's arms as he tightly embraced her.

Scar wondered how she was unharmed, the man aimed and shot. How did she dodge it? She turned her gaze and noticed that Jackson was clutching his hand that was bleeding, she understood that the sound she heard was a knife that was thrown at Jackson.

When Seb, Lucas, and Skye were standing there motionless anticipating Jackson's next step would be. Before he pulled the trigger a knife landed in his flesh causing him to recoil and drop the gun to the floor.

His men quickly went to check on him as Seb pulled Scar to him. Jackson was in a lot of pain as they removed the knife from his flesh, Tony cast a disappeared glance at him.

This was what Jackson was dreading, he didn'

He wanted them to leave an opening, and then he'd attack and get rid of them. Scar patiently waited in the car though she was slowly losing her resolve she needed him to reach quickly, the last thing she wanted to see was her friend's dead bodies all because she couldn't help them. Scar was lost in deep thought that she didn't hear the slight tap on the window until the person knocked on the window finally getting her attention and also scaring her out of her skin.

    The drive back to the city was long and filled with an eerie silence, no one seemed to utter a single word as they were all preoccupied with their own thoughts. Scar was silently sleeping, with her head leaning on Seb's shoulder, occasionally she'd stir in her sleep when seemingly having nightmares. Seb tried his best to call her own when that happened but it was still not that effective. Alas, they eventually arrived at Scar's place, the place was quiet and they could only tell that there were people there by the lights turned on in the house, the streets were dark and only lit by dimly lit street lights that probably needed fixing soon. Lucas walked ahead of them and knocked on the door, inside the house, Nat was on the couch waiting for them to call, text, or anything with news but since they left, they didn't contact her. She was scared for Scar, Lucas, Skye, and Seb, she wondered what happened to them, if they were alright or even alive. She put down the phone for the milliont

    Scar's eyes flatter open one after the other, the light hit her eyes making squint them and after she slowly adjusted to the light she fully opened her eyes and realized that she was in her room at her home, how as the possible, the last thing she remembered was sleeping in the car after that Agent had caught Tony. She bolted up wondering what time it was when she checked the time it was three in the afternoon. Last she checked it was evening at best when she slept meaning she probably slept for half a day or even more. Her body felt refreshed but her muscles were heavily aching, she needed a long relaxing shower no bubble bath, but first, she needed to see Nat, and like on cue the door opened revealing Natalie, the moment she saw that Scar had awoken she bolted towards her and lunged at her with an embrace. "Gosh Nat, you're going to kill me." Scar giggled as she tried sucking in some oxygen. Nat instantly freed her, "Sorry, I hope I didn't hurt you." her face was filled with con

    Seb instantly let go of her hand the moment she agreed to talk to him, it was all he wanted and needed. "What's wrong Scar? Why are you acting up like this?" His tone was soft and filled with so much hurt. Scar rolled her eyes and scoffed, "What isn't wrong should be the question." she paused for a bit, then spoke up, "Did you think that I wouldn't find out before your whole plan?" Seb was confused, he didn't know what she was referring to, he wanted to ask her what she was talking about but she spoke before he could. "Right, you don't understand, well let me enlighten you." She smiled and that smile was anything but sweet, "Two years ago, your marriage was arranged to me and because I wasn't ready and wanted to pursue my career I ran away humiliating you and ruining your reputation, because of that, you decided to get revenge on me and because of my whacky luck, I started working for you enabling you to get your revenge properly, does that ring a bell?"

Seb wanted to go after her but Nat stopped him blocking his path, "Not another step.""Nat please move out of the way, I need to speak with her, please." He pleaded with her. But Nat shook her, "No, leave her be, haven't you done enough damage already? Just leave the poor girl alone or do you want to hurt her more?" Nat was on the verge of tears, she felt for her friend imagining what she might be going through. "I don't wanna hurt her, please believe me, Nat."

It was a stressful and tiring day, she just wanted to take a nap or something like that but she had a responsibility to her as her friend, she needed to be there for her and cheer her up. After regaining her energy she went up the stairs toward Scar's room, when she reached the door she knocked on it but there was no answer, she tried knocking again but nothing, that's when she realized that Scar didn't know that the guys had left. She probably thought that Seb was the one trying to talk to get her again or that they were still in the living room. She knocked for a third time, "Scar, open up, it's Nat, if you're worried about the guys they've already left."At first, there was utter silence then Scar spoke up in a muffled voice, "All of them?" knowing how stubborn Seb was, she just had to ask and find out whether he also left or not.
