Chapter 1
This a tidy up to my story 'Who is Skye' I thought it was time I made it easier to read and hopefully in some way improve it! No Copright Intended!
Chapter 1
Skye's Point of View
Takes place just after Skye is made part of Coulson's team.
Sitting in my newly appointed bunk on the super cool S.H.I.E.L.D plane known as the BUS I couldn't help but feel like I was finally onto something cool. I didn't know how I felt about the people who lived on the BUS so far but them seemed ok, well most of them. The one thing I did know was being on the inside was going to make it a lot easier to hack my way into their database so I could finally get my answers. That was my main goal. S.H.I.E.L.D knew what happened to my parents and they refused to share the information when I asked nicely. So I was forced to find it myself.
However there one person who was going to cause me some problems: Melinda May. She was a hard ass agent who was the pilot of the BUS. She was unbelievably strict and hated me from the first minute she set eyes on me, and what a scary expression that was.
May thought I was bad news and would compromise the covers of the team. On some level she was right to worry about me. After all the only reason I had agreed to Coulson's terms and stayed on the BUS was so I was closer to their sources. All my life I had searched for my parents, as it turns out getting arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D proved the best way. Plus Coulson seemed to trust me for some unknown reason so I had him on my side.
Once I was on the BUS I made a deal with myself that I would try my best to get the information I needed as quickly as possible. I didn't want to over stay my welcome on the BUS plus May was really scary.
Walking around the BUS shortly after my arrival I bumped into Grant Ward, like May he was another uptight agent who was very strict.
"Sorry didn't see you there." I apologised.
He looked at me with his smouldering expression, making me shift uncomfortably.
"Its ok, I should have moved out of the way, are you lost?" He asked.
"Nope just trying to get a feel for the place, you know see if its for me." I replied.
He looked me up and down before replying.
"Ok, well give me a shout if you need anything." He replied, before walking off.
Ward was very mysterious and had I not had my own agenda I would have been interested in finding out more about him.
Continuing my walk around the BUS I also came across Agent May, she was having a drink at the bar. Dodging around the corner I thought I had avoided her sight, I was wrong.
"Skye!" she called after me.
"Yeah May?" I answered hesitantly.
"Come over hear, I want a word with you." She instructed.
I felt sick as I slowly walked towards a woman who could kill me in seconds. As I approached her I saw her expression harden further.
"If you try and pull any of your little Rising Tide hacks and sell us out I will make you pay. Coulson is taking what I would call a very stupid risk on you. He is a good guy so don't you dare hurt him or betray his trust understand?" She threatened.
I nodded terrified to say the wrong thing.
"Good you can go." she replied with a glare.
I ran off at that, tripping stupidly over my feet as I did. I was desperate to put as much distance as possible between May and myself.
Returning to my bunk I knew needed to be carful on the BUS. One wrong move and May would be all over me.
On my second night the team invited me to have a beer with them before they set off on their next mission. As I watched the sun set I had to text Miles and let him know where I was. I slipped my phone out checking to make sure the others were not watching. Once I was sure I typed my message.
'I'm in." I typed.
Short and sweet, that's all he needed.
However as I put the phone away I saw May looking at me. I couldn't tell what she was thinking but I knew I gave her more reasons to doubt me with such an innocent act.
Mays Point of View
I didn't like the new arrival that called herself Skye. She was a hacker and part of the group the Rising Tide. She was dangerous and had already been on S.H.I.E.L.D.S radar for spilling secrets. There was no way of knowing what she would do next, something that concerned me.
To try and prevent her from doing anything suspicious I made sure she knew I was watching her at all times. I couldn't risk her hurting the people on the BUS whom in a short space of time I had come to care about. They were like the family I had once longed for.
However despite all my worries about Skye, I couldn't help but feel like there was something about her I could trust. I didn't know why I had these feelings after all I had never met Skye before.
She had done nothing to deserve my trust, but the feeling was stuck in my head. It wouldn't go away despite my best efforts to ignore it. Given that I couldn't get rid of it I allowed myself for two scenarios to play out.
Either Skye would earn my trust or she would betray it. Either way I would know what her agenda was and why she had suddenly agreed to join the organization she had previously fought to bring down. Unfortunately it didn't take long for my fears to be proved correct….
Please let me know your thoughts on the re-write, hopefully the grammar is a lot easier to follow lol Until next time ;-)
