Skye's P.O.V

"Where am I? What's happ-" She was cut off by her own cries as she tried to sit up but the pain searing through her bones screamed at her to stay still. She curled into a foetal position, clutching her stomach to try and lessen the pain. The girl leaned closer and tried to lay her flat on her back again, being as gentle as possible. Once she felt the weight of hands on her shoulders she squirmed out of their grasp and shot back to the other side of the bed like she had been electrocuted. "I'm sorry, Skye." The girl quickly apologised for making her so afraid. "It's fine." She said through gritted teeth, giving the girl the impression that it clearly wasn't okay but she didn't want to go into it.

As the girl checked her vitals and copied down readings from the machinery surrounding her, she tried to remember what had happened before she had woken up in this bed. She remembered being kidnapped from her van by the men in black suits and asked about her involvement with the Rising Tide, she remembered moving onto the bus and working with S.H.I.E.L.D. to find information on her parents, she remembered meeting with Miles and getting caught by her team but she couldn't remember much after that. "All of my readings say that you are completely fine, it's quite fascinating." The girl told her, taking her away from her thoughts and back to face reality. "What's your name?" She asks, even though she could think of lots of more important things to ask, she felt like she should know this first. "Skye, it's me, it's Jemma. Don't you remember?" The girl (Jemma) said trying to keep the sadness out of her voice."No, I-I can't. Where is my team? And what happened to me?" She asked. "You where shot. We were on a mission and you went in to capture the target before he got away but he shot you twice in the stomach. The team is here though, do you want me to go and get them?" Jemma said slowly, trying to tell her as gently as possible. She simply nodded to Jemma, she wanted to see the team but also needed a minute alone to let this settle in her mind.

Coulson's P.O.V

You didn't want it to come to this. You and Fury had been fighting like cat and dog for over a month now over Skye's fate but you had postponed it for as long as you could. You tried to tell Simmons as calmly as you could but she still had the reaction that you expected. It was the same reaction you had when you first received the order. You need to gather the team in the meeting room and tell them all of what will happen in a few days time but you can't do that until you stop crying. She was like the daughter you never had, she had brought your team together. Without her this group of misfits wouldn't have lasted for more than a couple of months.

"Sir, come quickly. She's woken up!" Simmons exclaimed as she ran into your office, pulling you along by the arm with the rest of your team in tow. You make it to the med-bay in record time and somehow manage to fit the whole team in the small room. "Skye, I've brought your whole team, do you remember any of them?" Simmons asked softly. Skye scanned over all of the new faces in the room and spoke. "Fitz, May, Coulson and Ward." She said weakly, pointing at you all in turn.

She will be okay. After you leave Skye to rest Simmons tells you that she should make a full recovery physically within a few months. You can't help the grin that takes over you face at this news but you also feel sadness in the pit of your stomach for Simmons. She and Skye had become good friends since Skye had joined the team and Simmons had been the first to forgive Skye after the Miles incident but now Skye doesn't remember any of that. She can remember everything and everyone else but Jemma Simmons.
