Spoilers: All of Season 1 and 2 (up to the mid-season finale)
Disclaimer: I own nothing really...
There was no stopping the pain, everything seemed to be amplified a thousand times over and despite the wonder of power running through her she wouldn't realize it was her causing the temple to collapse until much later. Stone fell down around her, everything seemed to cave in without a care where it fell or who on. Nothing mattered at that moment because everything she'd buried deep was rolling out like waves and magnified a thousand times over.
Trip dead…
Her mother dead…
Mack dead…
The team broken…
Her father was insane…
She wasn't human…
The man she'd fallen for betraying her…
She was just a toy being fought over by two children…
Just as it had begun it ended, Skye felt nothing as darkness surrounded her and her body met the floor. The last thing she saw was the door opening slowly, black clouded her eyes as exhaustion overtook her.
The sound of beeping was the only sound in the room, Coulson stood in the doorway to the Infirmary watching as the agent he'd come to love as daughter lay in her induced coma state. There had been no choice but to go forward with long term sedation and the HYDRA freezing technique hadn't been an option. The presence of his second-in-command drew his attention away.
"We failed to protect her."
May shook her head, "no we did everything we could to try, Trip's sacrifice was proof of that. The events were beyond our control, we had no way of knowing what could happen and what happened down there we'll never know beyond what she's capable of."
Coulson crossed his arms, "she's a weapon without actually being one, every time we attempt to wake her she sets off tremors that grow till we sedate her again."
"They're searching for her father but having no luck." May looked in at the room, "was recruiting them the best idea?"
"You and I both know that if anyone can find him, it'll be Ward." Turning to May he shrugged slightly. "He offered himself up remember, told us to finish what Skye started so I did the opposite."
"Her emotions got in the way when she aimed, I should have anticipated that."
He nodded before looking back at Skye. "She wouldn't kill him even if her life depended on it."
"You're so sure."
Placing a hand on her shoulder as he turned to leave Coulson sighed. "Two reasons, she doesn't have the heart and second, we both know under that anger and pain she's still in love with him."
"She's only lucky he refuses to harm her."
Trekking through the snow of the Arctic wasn't the ideal mission Grant Ward though he'd be on anytime soon but Coulson wanted Skye's father brought in immediately to explain what was going on with Skye. Part of him, a small part that ached to love her again, also wanted the bastard explaining what was wrong with the agent.
"Thinking about her won't help you." The voice a few feet behind him made him turn, he found Agent 33 stopping to adjust her pack. It still amazed him that after Simmons got ahold of the woman, removing the tech and healing the scar, she was actually okay to look at. The de-brainwashing was a process that took weeks but eventually Maya Wilson was back to herself. She decided not to stay with SHIELD but instead strike out on her own, except they'd run into each other a few times over and decided working as a team would keep them alive longer.
"I wasn't thinking about her."
The woman snorted, "when aren't you thinking about her? You're pissed she shot you, you want to kid yourself by thinking you're not in love with her anymore but the moment Coulson states the mission is about her you're jumping for a chance to help." She pulled on her pack and moved towards him, walking past. "Just admit that the Marianas Trench isn't as deep as the hole you feel into when you fell in love with her."
"Hey Maya." The woman turned to look at him, "don't bring it up again."
Throwing out her arms she smirked, "nothing else to talk about for the next three miles."
