Authors Note:This is a slight crossover with Marvel Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. Mostly just avengers.
Chapter One:
Skye walked slowly into Raina's room, "You knew, didn't you? Your visions you saw fire, destruction. You knew it would all fall apart."Her tone was accusatory, but then when it involved Raina it always was.
Raina sighed lightly, rearranging the pale pink flowers in the vase. Her sharp nails delicately ran over the petals as she spoke, "I'm afraid so. Everyone thinks flowers are so delicate. They really are quite resilient."
Skye shook her head, " I'm not here to talk botany."
"No, you're here to ask questions about what's gonna happen next." Raina smirked and looked at Skye.
"Yes."
"Well, that's the tragedy, because even if I were inclined to tell you, you wouldn't believe me, not with our history." Raina chuckled
"Forget history I don't care about the past. Just-"
Raina scoffed and approached Skye, "Well, you should, because the past and the future are intertwined, just like us. Our paths have been intertwined since before we even met, and I'm not talking about DNA. You and I have spent our entire lives searching for our destiny, and I finally have the answer. I had a vision today, and it revealed the truth. I've seen it."
"Tell me." Skype demanded
"You wouldn't believe me." She rolled her eyes and looked back at the flowers.
"Raina," Skye's patience was wearing thin.
"It is the thorn that protects the rose," she chuckled once more, "Or, in this case, the Daisy."
"Please, stop with the metaphors." plead Skye.
"It's not a metaphor." her retort was brisk and icy. "That's the irony. My true purpose, my destiny is to help you become what you're supposed to be."
"Why the hell did I even come here?" Skye spoke aloud but the question was more for herself than Raina.
Raina knowing this answered anyway, "Because you want answers. You're just not willing to hear fact, we'll never speak to each other again. But you'll see. Your mother isn't leading our people she's misleading them. It's you who are destined to lead. Even in the darkness, you'll see the truth."
Skye was silent in her anger and turned to leave. As she did Raina called out to her, "One more thing Skye, send the siren to Fury."
Skye looked back a moment, "More of your cryptic bullshit?"
Raina smirked, "Just wait Skye...just wait."
Skye stumbled out of the building her mind buzzing from her conversation with Raina. Conversation might not be the correct word exactly. They were never capable of civil conversation. An interrogation was more the correct word. A shiver worked through her body and Skye cursed as she felt the vibrations leak from her to the ground. Now wasn't the time. She needed to calm herself.
Skye smiled as she walked away from her father and approached Coulson."Thank you for doing that for him. I know aspects of the Tahiti program don't sit well with you."
Phil smiled, "This does."
"He has a lot to give - and now a way to give it." she sighed quietly as a tiny weight lifted from her shoulders.
Phil nodded and handed her a file, "And what about you? Are you ready to refocus your energies?"
Skye briefly opened the file and skimmed the name, " A team centered around people with powers? How many on the list?"
"Right now, just you...and one other. We'll take it slow." Phil glared into the distance. A flash of an expression Skye chose not to read shown in his eyes.
"I've thought a lot about it." she was choosing her words wisely.
"And?" pride was in his voice and his gaze as he looked at her.
"And my mother was right about one thing people like me need to be kept a secret, not like the Avengers, out in the we do this, we need to be-"
"Anonymous." Coulson cut in, " That's the idea." he made the motion to get in the drivers side of Lola. "But it's not if we do this. We have to do this. We don't have a choice. It may feel like things have cooled down right now, but this," he motioned to his missing hand, "This is my permanent reminder that we'll always be paying the price, that we'll never get ahead of the consequences that I, that you, that SHIELD have set in motion."
"Like a ripple in the water." Skye nodded as she spoke.
"But this ripple won't fade," Coulson's tone was dejected."It'll grow and grow until it's a tidal wave."
They shared a look before Skye once again opened the folder. A file was on top with a photo. The Agent was young. Dark brown eyes stared back at her and her black hair was up but she could tell it was long and curled. Her nose had the slightest bump, probably broken in her childhood. Attractive but easily overlooked considering everything.
"Agent Molpe Caras?" her tone was curious.
Coulson nodded, "She was an agent on Gonzales' ship when Jiaying attacked. Jiaying tried to make an example of her and two other agents and locked them in a room with a destroyed artificial Terrigen crystal laced with Diviner metal. She alone survived."
"Jesus, we know anything about her?" Skye preferred Coulson's opinion over a file any day.
He shrugged, "Young for her level. Barely 22. She's half Greek. Mother moved over from Greece when she was 15 married her father when she was 27. Fluent in over 8 languages. She's no May in combat but she is decent with a weapon. S.H.E.I.L.D. found her when she was in middle school. Communications specialist. She's used in a lot of interrogations. Has a knack for persuasion," he rubbed the creases on his forehead, "Now with her powers even more so."
"Asset or liability?" Skye cringed at home emotionless she sounded.
"Lets just say you don't want her speaking ill of you. She turned herself in for observation. She's at the base now with Fitz and Simmons. They're testing the full range of her power."
Lola started up with a low purr as Skye turned the key and started driving onto the road, "What are her powers exactly?"
"Vocal hypnosis. She says it you do it and afterwards you don't remember a damn thing."
Skye slammed on the breaks and turned to stare at Coulson, "Siren...like a siren?"
Coulson's eyebrow raised, "Well she doesn't sing but yeah...I guess that'd be the easiest way to describe it."
Send the siren to Fury.
Raina's words haunted Skye, "Coulson there's something I have to tell you..."
