Coulson walked into his office after Skye's latest nightmares and realized he couldn't handle this on his own anymore, he had to call the Avengers and hope that they would be willing to help after everything he did.
"So what are we going to do?" Clint asks to the room full of silent Avengers. A couple hours ago they had received a call from Coulson, a man they believed was dead for two years.
"I don't want to be associated with Shield anymore, I think we can all agree on that much" Steve says running his hand over his face as everyone nods in agreement.
"This girl needs help, and you guys have the ability to help her. Why don't a couple of you go and meet her, see if she will fit in and assess what her needs will be" Pepper says as she is typing on her phone as everyone just stares at her.
"She should plan all our missions" Clint says, eyebrows raised with a smile on his face
"Haha, not"Tony says "But I agree with Pepper, who wants to go meet her?"
In the end Clint, Natasha, and Steve decide to go, they get on the plane and head to see their once dead friend.
"So if they agree, I would go and live with the Avengers? For how long? Would I ever see you again?" Skye rambles as she paces in her room.
"Skye, calm down. The Avengers have the know how and resources to help you. Everything will be fine" he says and she nods in agreement. Coulson greets the three Avengers at the door to their base on his own.
"It's good to see you guys" Coulson says with a tight smile and the tension is evidence between the party.
"What can you tell us about this girl?" Steve asks crossing his arms over his chest
"Her name is Skye, she grew up an orphan and joined the Rising Tide once she was out of the system. That's how we found her and she's been training with us ever since." He says as they start walking toward a conference room
"How did she get these powers?" Natasha asks
"She was exposed to a knee artifact, Thor can probably tell you more than I can. I figure she can tell you the rest" Coulson explains and the three nod in agreement and enter the room where Skye is waiting
"You must be Skye" Natasha says reaching to shake her hand. Skye can't believe she is standing in front of three avengers but she just nods silently at the woman before her.
"So what exactly are your powers" Clint asks leaning against the wall
"I make things shake. I like to call myself a walking natural disaster" Skye said with a fake smile
"Though I've been trying to discourage her from doing that" Coulson says quickly, eyeing her wearily but Skye shrugs.
"Why do you think you need to come with us, instead of staying here?" Natasha asks causing Skye to lower her head, lettering her hair cover her face and Coulson speaks up.
"Certain members of our team have found it difficult to be around Skye recently. We don't have the resources to give her the help she needs." He says sadly and Steve's frown deepens out of sympathy for the young woman before him. Natasha looks at the other two who nod at her
"You can come with us, if you want." Natasha says and Skye looks surprised
"Just like that? What about the rest of you" she asks nervously
"We agreed that the decision would be left up to us. However if you do come with us, you would be cutting all ties with shield. The Avengers are no longer associated with shield and we don't want to be." Clint explains gently. He grew up in the system, he knew it would be hard for her to cut all ties with a family but Skye just nods.
"I know, AC explained that before you came. I just have to say goodbye to a couple people before we go if that's alright." Skye asks
"Of course" Steve says.
Skye gives May a hug and thanks her for being her SO and for a second there is a flicker of emotion on the older woman's face. Hunter pulls her into a short hug before ruffling her hair. He always tried his best to hide his discomfort around her and Skye appreciated that. Skye and Bobbi just share a look, they were never close and Mac, to no ones surprise, isn't there. Fitz is usually awkward about touching people but he gives the best hugs when he wants to. He holds her in one of those hugs for longer than usual. He expressed how much he will miss her before trying to discretely wipe away tears. Simmons is the hardest. The two best friends stand hugging for a couple minutes. Simmons makes Skye promise to take care of herself. She asks Skye to call if she needs anything despite the fact Simmons knows that probably won't happen. Finally Skye turns to Coulson. He just silently pulls her into a hug and kisses the top of her head. He has come to love the girl like a daughter and now he had had say goodbye, for who knows how long. Finally she pulls away and gives her family one last look before walking to join the three Avengers at the end of the hall, all looking sympathetic. Clint puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder and stirs her to the elevator while Steve carries what little pocessions she has.
