Chapter One (What Is This?)

An out-of-body experience, that's what it was. She laid there on that hospital bed, practically dead. But no, she was here, seeing everything that was going on in the hospital.

Somehow, her spirit and mind lay outside of her comatose and broken body. She saw how each of the team reacted to seeing her there. She had been through several surgeries to keep her alive, but it still wasn't enough. Death still laid in waiting for her.

The shots were brutal. She had gone in, all by herself, to find the Cybertek package that they had been after. It sat in a wine cellar on a table near a hypobaric machine. Inside of it laid Mike Peterson, who was presumed dead after a mission gone wrong.

Then Quinn had walked in. Took Mike out of the machine and woke him. Mike was now controlled by the Clairvoyant. Quinn then took a machine out of the package and placed it on Mike's amputated leg. It then transformed into a full-sized cybernetic leg.

Quinn ordered Mike to kill Skye, but Mike refused and said it wasn't part of his orders and he went upstairs. Skye backlashed at Quinn, but then he fired.

It was just one shot to the stomach, and then another. Quinn took the bleeding Skye in his arms and then left her on the ground to die. Then Coulson and the team arrived.

They panicked and Simmons had Skye placed in the hypobaric chamber. At this point she had no pulse, but the machine stabilized the pressure inside of her enough to bring back her pulse. Then it was loaded onto the Bus to find a SHIELD medical facility.

They arrived at one and Skye was immediately ushered into surgery, and the team was left to wait in unbearable agony. That's when the first experience struck.


Skye groaned and blinked her eyes in pain. She looked around and panicked. She seemed to be in an operating room viewing area. "How did I get here?" she asked herself.

She looked down into the room to see the numerous surgeons bustling about, hurrying around a bloodied figure on the table. They talked fast and nervously, as though they were loosing the patient.

The doors behind her then swung open and Skye spun around in fear to see two agents walk in. But oddly enough, they didn't see her, at all. Skye thought this was strange, she was right there in front of them, but they didn't see her.

She waved her arms in front of them and they didn't respond. "What the Hell?" she asked. They didn't hear that either. But they were still talking to each other and she listened in.

"Hill, we don't know what to do. She's fading fast and Coulson and his team are extremely frantic." the African-American agent, who strangely enough had an eyepatch, said. "Actually, there is nothing to do."

Skye's heart skipped a beat at the mention of the team. What did they have to do with this?"

"Fury, don't let this turn into Coulson's dilemma." Hill said. "Let the surgeons try a natural way. That's what Coulson would want." Hill turned around and went out the door.

"Fury?" Skye asked. "As in Director Fury? What's going on?"

Fury followed Hill out the door.

Skye started to panic, "What is going on? What's Coulson and them have to do with this? Why is the director in this? Who's down there?"

She went to the window and looked to the body on the table. She froze in complete terror, "W-What is this?" she stammered. The body that lay bloodied and broken on the operating table was no other than herself.


Author's Note: I don't own AoS, Fury, or Hill, Marvel does. I really don't know what this is, this popped in my head today and I really wanted to do this. Hopefully I can keep this updated along with my other two AoS fics, one of which is about done. I don't know how this will go. I thought it would be interesting to see how Skye would react if she could she how the rest of the keep was reacting towards the shooting. Keep reading and please review!~AwakeAndAliveSpartan.
