 Everyone in the room ended up disbanding. I don’t know where half of them went, whether they decided to stay in Alistar’s hotel or just leave the building entirely. I was one of the last people to leave the room, but not before having one last short conversation with Hurley.

“Just so you know,” Jackson’s voice stopped me at the door “I won’t hesitate to kill you if I get the chance. I may be willing to work with you  but I sure as hell ain’t suddenly some Hydra sympathizer.”
I turn around to face the ex-Shield agent with a smirk on my face “Did you not listen to a word I said? I don’t work for Hydra any longer. Surely someone like you would’ve realized that, especially after the Winter Soldier attack.”
“That doesn’t erase all the atrocities you committed while with Hydra.” He said
“Oh, it certainly does not. All of the blood I’ve spilled has left quite the permanent stain on my hands. I don’t expect to forget anything I’ve done anytime soon.”
“Good. Then we-“
“You do realize you and I aren’t so different, right?” I interrupted the man. “Hydra and Shield are just two sides of the same coin. We were just pawns in their little game, doing their dirty work-“
“I’m sure you enjoyed your dirty work, though.” Jackson interjected 
“Perhaps.” I answered simply. “Truthfully, I was just focused on the money. Hydra paid well.”
“Is there a point to all of this?” Jackson asked, seeming to be getting frustrated with me.
I took a few seconds to think before answering. “I suppose not.” I told him, turning back around to leave. Pausing at the doorway, turning back to face the man one last time “Oh… just so you know… I won't hesitate to kill you either. "

As I exited the room, I realized I didn't know where I was actually going. I didn't know if I wanted to stay here or not. I would rather not spend any more time with these people… but going after Hydra alone is suicide. This might be the best and only way to bring them down.

As I continued to walk aimlessly through the pristine halls of this building, I began to realize how tired I was. I didn't know where the bedrooms were and Alistar was nowhere to be found. Not that I wanted to see him again anyway. I decided I would just sleep in the van I drove here in but then I remembered when we were all walking through the foyer, I caught a glimpse of what looked like a living room. 
[i]
I suppose a couch would be far more comfortable than the seats in a car.[/i]

I felt reluctant to sleep here. Especially after what Alistar did to me. But sleeping in a car probably isn't much safer. I was beginning to feel like the lesser of the two evils was the living room. So, I headed in the room's direction. I was trying to convince myself along the way that I'd be okay. This is currently our safe house. No one should be able to find it. [i]Hopefully[/i]. Suddenly, I began to notice a loud pounding sound. It kept getting louder and louder as I was walking. So loud, I began to feel the pounding in my head and ears. Sweat was beginning to roll down my forehead and my breathing was progressively getting faster. I was looking around to try and see if I could see the source of the pounding. I saw no one, which increased the uneasiness I was already feeling. The pounding continued and didn’t seem to go away. It didn't seem to ever go away. Since I failed to locate the source, I tried to simply distract myself so I wouldn't focus on the pounding. All I could think of was the safety of this base, which seemed to make it worse. That's when it dawned on me. The pounding wasn't coming from anyone else in the base… but rather my own heart. I was sliding down against a wall and to the ground as I realized this, trying to slow my breathing slowing down in an attempt to calm myself. When I made contact with the ground, however, I felt something cold. I looked at the floor and saw that the area around me was covered in a light frost. The walls were covered as well and there a white haze in the air. I sighed and looked at my hands, knowing that they caused this to happen as a result of my unexpected panic attack.

[i]It's been too long since I've used you.[/i] I said to myself. My Inhuman powers were something I stopped using years ago. There was a certain prejudice against humans with these sort of strange and unnatural abilities. They were either locked up, experimented on… or killed. And that was just here in America. Back home, it was much worse. I obviously didn't want any of those things to happen to me. Who would? That was then, of course. Times have changed. The Avengers have surely shifted people's perspectives on powered beings, whether for the better or worse. And considering the situation I'm in with Hydra currently hunting my ass… 
[i]Perhaps it's time to get back into the swing of using you again.[/i]
