Chapter 1 - Skye

- Unknown Location -

May kicked the door open and held her gun and torch in front of her. She entered the dark room, Coulson right behind her. To the light of their torches they could see a few tables standing in the middle of the room, papers and broken test tube scattered all over it.

"They were experimenting, that's for sure" said Coulson "but on what?"

"On who?" corrected May, pointing at the traces of blood on the floor.

"What did Fury said this 084 was?" she asked.

"He didn't" said Coulson "check that room over there, I'll check this one". May nodded and moved forward the door Coulson directed her to.

They were in AIM's abandoned labs, send to retrieve an 084.

May kicked another door open, then stepped inside.

She could see a few prison cells in the dark. In each one there was a small bed and that's it, not that there was enough place for anything else.

"Coulson, are you there?" may murmured into her comm "I was right, they were testing on humans".

"Is there anyone still there?" he asked.

"I don't think so…" she whispered , still scanning the room. She stepped another step inside, and could now sense a movement in the corner.

May turned around and raised her gun. There was a figure standing there in the dark.

"Come into the light so I could see you", ordered May.

The figure took a shaky step forward, out of the shadowed corner.

May lowered her gun.

The girl in front of her couldn't be much older than fourteen… what was she doing in there? Thought May, than hurried towards the kid, who stepped away with eyes full of fear.

"Hey, it's alright. I wouldn't hurt you" whispered May, putting her gun away "see?"

The girl was holding her wrist close to her chest, so May guessed it must have been broken. On the girl's face there were a few scratches and bruises, and she was wearing what looked like some sort of a hospital gown.

"What's your name?" asked May carefully.

"S-Skye" answered the girl hesitantly.

May smiled at her, "alright. My name is Melinda May. Is your wrist hurt?"

The girl nodded.

"Well, if you would come closer, maybe I'll be able to help with that, and also to take you somewhere safe" continued May. "I promise I won't hurt you."

Skye stepped a bit closer to May, but it was clear that she was still scared. She flinched a little when May had put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "My partner is right in the other room. We'll go find him and then get you somewhere safe. Okay?" asked May.

"'Kay" said Skye. May was able to hear the exhaustion in the kid's voice.

May raised her torch again and gently directed Skye to the room Coulson was supposed to be in. however, as they stepped through the door, Coulson thought that they might be someone from AIM and pointed his gun at them.

"Jesus May... Don't sneak around like that"

May just rolled her eyes "your comm was off" she excused.

"May…" she turned around to see Skye still standing in the doorway. She was breathing quickly. Too quickly.

May shot Coulson one glare then hurried to the kid's side, stopping her from dropping to the ground.

"Skye I need you to breath, alright? Just take deep breathes… in and out…"

it took some time, but Skye was finally able to get her breathing under control. After that, she fell asleep, tired from the panic attack and the exhaustion.

May sighed, looking at Coulson.

"Do you think she was one of the people AIM was experimenting at?" he asked after a long silence.

"I hope not" she said, brushing the hair out of the girl's face. "She's so young".

"I know" agreed Coulson. "We better get her to SHIELD. She needs medical".

- The Hub -

"and you're sure there were no one else there?" asked Director Fury.

"Yes, we're sure" repeated Coulson for what seemed like the hundredth time.

"Why was she there in the first place?" asked May "she's a kid, what does she have to do with AIM?"

"I'm not sure if you remember this Agent May, but you two were send to retrieve an 084. There's a chance that the girl is the 084"

they both looked at him in disbelieve.

"Is this even possible?" Coulson was the first to talk.

Fury just raised his eyebrow.

Coulson sighed "yes, with SHIELD everything is possible, I get that. But if the girl really is the 084, how have we never heard about her before?"

"I have no idea" said Fury.

May rolled her eyes. Honestly, she just wanted this meeting to be over, so she could make sure Skye was alright.

She let her thoughts wander far away. It didn't seem like Skye had any kind of powers…

"-No! You can't do that!" shouted Coulson, pulling May out of her thoughts. She looked at them, realizing that she missed a main part of the conversion. Coulson turned over to her "he wants to send her back into the system" he explained.

May immediately stood up "you can't do that! If she has powers or something- "

"she would need help controlling her powers, if she has any-" started Coulson at the same time, but Fury raised his hand to shut them both.

"I get that you don't like it," he said "but do you have any better idea?"

Coulson just glared at him, not saying anything.

"I can take her" said May, surprising both Coulson and the director.

"Can you?" asked Fury, not sure what she meant.

"I can help her get some control over her powers. And she would be safe with me, AIM wouldn't be able to get her," she said in response.

"You do realise that you wouldn't be able to go on field assignment in that time, right?"

May paused. She didn't think of that, but it didn't matter. the kid needed help, which she could provide; Coulson surely would be able to survive a few assignments without his partner.

She nodded, seeing Coulson glaring at her in the corner of her eye. She smiled at him in recurrence.

"Fine" said Fury after a few minutes "you can take the girl. Dismissed."

Coulson followed May out of the director's office to the medical where Skye was staying for now.

"May, where are you going to take her?" he asked.

"My mother's house for a start. It should be empty, and I'm sure she wouldn't care" she answered without stopping to look at him.

"then what?" he insisted.

"i'll help control whatever powers she's got, protect her if needed." and she still didn't turn around to look at him.
by the time Coulson finished asking questions, May already got them back to the medical unit, where Skye was staying for now.

May turned around, finelly looking at Coulson. "i'm not sure it's a good idea for you to come in". she said hesitantly.
Coulson frowned at that "what are you talking about?"
May smiled sadly at him "skye is horrified. last time she saw you, you were pointing a gun at her. just let me talk to her first, explain everything."

Coulson sighed, and she walked away.

May sat down and settled in the chair next to Skye's bed, planning on waiting there until the kid would wake up.
