Chapter 1: The Call

Author's Note: This takes place after episode 2x10 of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. This story might sound a little wacky but bear with me, because it's gets better. Also, unfortunately, I don't own anything in this. That would be awesome, but I don't.

Skye woke up, in the cell, like it was another ordinary day. Well, as ordinary for a person who can create earthquakes from her feelings can be. She got dressed in her classic black t-shirt and black jeans and went outside. It was bright through the windows. She assumed they were in the air. Skye went into the cockpit, and sure enough, May was there, pushing buttons and flipping switches.

"Where are we going?" Skye asked the silent, as usual, May.

She didn't turn around. "Ask Coulson."

This was weird. They usually don't go somewhere this early in the day.

She was going to Coulson's office when her phone went off. She slid it out of her pocket, assuming it was Jemma or Coulson, hopefully on were they were going. But it wasn't. When she read the caller ID, she rushed back to the cell and locked the door. She sighed nervously and answered it.

"It's about time." She said, with fake confidence.
"Don't 'it's about time' me. I called you after S.H.I.E.L.D collapsed, and you didn't answer or call me back." Her friend said which made her smile.

"I was busy. And you should've assumed I was ok."
"I was being courteous."

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry. I should've called you. But, hey, I'm all good now!"

"Still funny, I see."
"Still courteous, Steve."
He laughed. "So, how've you been?"
"Good, good. Jemma and Fitz are getting closer, I think. Coulson's not crazy anymore, which you knew. And, May's been training me…"
"Wait, what? Did you just say May? Melinda May?!"
"Yes… why is she so significant?"

"She's the Calvary, Skye!"
"How do you know about that?"
"Who DOESN'T?! You didn't tell me she's on your team! She's a legend!"

"Yeah, she is. Oh, and don't call her that when you meet her."
"Noted. How's Mike?"
"I haven't heard from him. He's… changed a bit." She smiled. "You're so curious to see how I'm doing. It's like you've known me for years."
"You can learn a lot about someone from when you met Mike to now."
"Yeah, you're the best." She paused. "I think the real question is, how are you doing?"
"I'll let you know if you meet me for a cup of coffee."

"Um…" She peeked out the door and looked at the clouds brushing the wings of the Bus. "I'm in the air."
"Well, where are you going?"
"I have not the slightest clue. And plus, I still haven't told Coulson you're my friend."
"Oh, right. He thinks I think he's dead."
"Yup…"
"You have to tell him, Skye."
"Not yet. I will, but not now."
"Ok, just let me know when you can meet up. We haven't seen each other for a while."
"I know. I'll see you around, Captain Rogers." She smiled.

"Bye, Skye." Steve smiled.

"Bye."

He hung up first. It felt nice to talk to him again. Steve was probably the greatest friend she's ever had. And to think they just met on the street. Who knew they would both have something in common, like for example, their jobs. But it wasn't telling Coulson about her friendship with Steve, but about… earthquakes. She hoped Tony wasn't tracking seismic waves, or else she would be in trouble. That was why she didn't call Steve back. She wanted to, but not only could it give away who she was calling to the team, she was trying to keep Steve out of his mind, and more focus on her new powers. She decided would tell him if and when they got some coffee, which would be when she could control her powers better and not break bones or almost kill herself. She also decided to text him, and still keeps in touch, because she loved talking to him. She put her phone back in her pocket and walked out of her room, trying to figure out where they were going.
