[Skye preps the needle, chatting as she goes-- she figures even if people aren't afraid of needles, it's good to keep them distracted so they don't tense up. She's not the bio-wiz Simmons is, but at least Simmons drilled her pretty thoroughly on how to give injections ages ago-- before they came here, even. You never know when it's going to become necessary in the field, after all.]
Anyway, the backstory there is that World War II was going on at the time-- I don't know if you've learned about it in history class here, this world's version is reeeasonably similar to mine, in broad strokes-- and so the government was trying to find a way to create an army of super soldiers. They came up with this experimental serum that would genetically enhance whoever had it injected into them-- make them stronger, faster, heal quickly and so on and so forth.
