Hi guys, I hope you are enjoying the fic so far.
I have decided to change the age of Fitzsimmons as I think that it was a little bit too hard to believe. I have edited their ages in the last chapter and I have posted the ages again below
Lance is 17
Natasha is 16
Skye is 15
Leo and Jemma are 13
Chapter 2
Natasha's POV
I saw Skye walk out of the living room and slam the door behind her. She went to walk past me but I stopped her by placing my hand on her shoulder. She pushed my hand off of her and walked out of the front door.
Lance, Leo and Jemma were already waiting in the car as I followed Skye out. I closed the front door behind me and as I turned back around, a black Vauxhall Corsa pulled up with Grant Ward in the driver's seat. I saw Lance jump out of our car and storm towards Grant. Then Leo got out and ran over to Lance, who was just about to hit Grant, and pulled him back.
Skye ran over to Grant "Babe let's go" he said. I ran over to Skye, who was about to get into Grant's car, and grabbed her arm.
"Get off me Nat" she growled. I tightened my grip on her bicep and pulled her to my car. I opened the back door and told her to get in. "No" she said defiantly.
"Jemma go get mum" I told her. Skye scoffed as Jemma hopped out of the car and sprinted back up to the house.
"Skye, just get in the car" I said. Skye tried to pry my hand off of her arm but I was not letting go. Skye realised this and groaned in frustration. "There's no way you're getting in the car with him" I said putting emphasis on 'him'
"Nat you can't tell me what to do. You're not my mum" she said.
"No she's not, but I am, and I'm telling you that you're not getting into a car with that boy" Mum's voice came from behind. She stood next to me and gently lifted my hand from Skye's arm. "Go get Lance" she told me.
I ran towards Lance, who was now standing toe to toe with Grant. He must have pulled Leo off of him, because Leo stood behind him attempting (but failing) to calm his big brother down.
I rushed over to Lance and stepped in front of him, stopping him from getting to Grant. I placed my hands on his shoulders and looked him in the eyes. "Lance, calm down, he's not worth it"
"Yeah come on Lance, let's just leave it" Leo chimed in from behind me.
"Yeah Lance, listen to the ginger ninja and the adopted little nerd boy over there" Grant teased.
I don't know what came over me, but as soon as Grant said that about Leo, I turned around and punched him on the nose. He groaned and his hand shot up to his nose, which was now dripping blood.
Apparently Skye had seen this because she ran over to him and put her hand on his bicep. "Grant" she said "are you-". Before she could finish her sentence Lance stepped out from behind me and threw Skye over his shoulder. He carried her, whilst she kicked and screamed, to the car.
He put her back on her feet next to the open car door where mum was currently standing. Both mum and Skye looked shocked. Mum looked at me "Nat, what were you thinking?"
I was about to reply when I heard "I can't believe you just punched my boyfriend. What is wrong with you?" Skye shouted.
"Skye just get in the car now. I'm done being nice, give me your phone" Mum told her. Skye thought for a moment before sighing in defeat and reluctantly pulling her phone out of her pocket and handing it to mum. "And I'm taking your laptop. You better be straight home after school today. And if you're not I swear to god Skye I will start picking you up from school myself" mum said angrily. Skye huffed then glared at me before getting into the car.
"Nat you and I will talk later, Ok?" mum said calmly. I nodded. Mum walked back up to the house and when the front door closed Lance got out of the driver's seat and started to walk towards Grant.
"Lance" I called after him. Lance stopped and turned to look at me.
"I'm just going to talk to him" he said. Luckily Skye was sulking with her head buried in her hands, so she didn't see Lance striding over to Grant. I put up my hand and mouthed 'wait there' to Leo and Jemma. They both nodded.
I ran to catch up with Lance who was standing in front of Grant. "You're going to get in your car and drive away, Ok?" Lance told him. "And if you ever talk about my brother like that, you'll end up with more than a bloody nose. And I better not see you near Skye again, you understand?" Grant glared at Lance and went to say something before changing his mind and retreating to his car.
After he drove off, Lance put his arm around my shoulders and led me to the car "Nice punch" he joked. I slapped his chest playfully and he chuckled. I pulled open the passenger door and jumped in. Lance ran around to the other side of the car and hopped into the driver's seat. He started the car and we drove to school.
I knew that Grant didn't come to school that day, but at lunch I went to find Skye to check up on her. I found her sitting with Grant's best friend John Garrett and all of his gang. I stormed over to her and pulled her to her feet. Garrett and his gang stood up in shock. "What the hell" Skye said before I led her out of the hall and into the schoolyard.
"What the hell are you doing hanging around with John Garrett? He's worse than Grant!" I stated.
"I can hang out with whoever I want to hang out with." Skye smirked "what are you gonna' do about it Nat? You gonna' hit John as well? Or are you waiting for Grant to come back to school?"
"You know why I hit him Skye. Don't act like he was innocent" I tried to justify my actions.
"I don't have to listen to this" Skye said before attempting to walk away. I placed a firm hand on her bicep. She forced it off and glared at me. "Don't touch me Natasha" she growled.
I took a step back, shocked. "What's gotten into you Skye? I'm your sister and I'm only looking out for you. Getting involved with Grant Ward and his friends, will only end badly. I'm only trying to prevent that from happening. You're my sister and I love you Skye" I said meaningfully.
"Yeah well maybe I'm sick of you being in my business" Skye hissed before walking away.
"You better be waiting for me and Lance by the car after school, you heard what mum said" I called out after her.
After that I hung out with Clint, Bucky and Steve. All of them noticed how sad I was and repeatedly asked me if I was ok. To which I would reply by slapping a fake smile on my face and saying "Yeah, I'm fine". The boys would then carry on with their conversation whilst I continued to worry about Skye.
Near the end of lunch Lance came over to me "What's the matter?" he asked.
"What? I'm fine" I lied.
"No you're not" he replied "I've been watching you for about five minutes and you look like you're about to cry "
"Lance, I'm fine, I just had a little argument with Skye" I said
"Oh bloody hell, what's she done now?" he sighed.
"Nothing, we just had a little argument" I said because I knew that if Lance knew that Skye had been hanging out with Garrett, he'd go mad.
"Ok, but if you need me just come find me alright?" Lance said sincerely. I nodded "See you later boys" Lance said to Clint, Steve and Bucky. The boys waved to Lance and then he went back to his friends.
After that I sat back down next to Clint until the bell rang, notifying us that lunch was over.
In maths I sat next to Clint and doodled absentmindedly. I couldn't concentrate at all. I just kept worrying about Skye, so halfway through maths I asked if I could go to the bathroom. My teacher just told me to be quick and as I stood up Clint whispered "You okay?" I nodded and smiled at him. I didn't actually need the toilet I just wanted to make sure that Skye was in class and to make sure that she was ok?
I walked down the hall and stopped outside Skye's history class. I peered through the small window on the door and saw Skye sitting with and talking with her best friend Wanda. I breathed a sigh of relief and headed back to class.
After maths I walked to my locker to grab my bags. As I closed the locker Leo and Jemma walked up to me. "Hey guys" I said.
"Hey Nat" They said in unison.
"You have a good day?" I asked.
"Yeah it was great. We got to dissect a frog" Jemma said.
"Frankly I thought that that part of the day was horrid" Leo moaned.
"Fitz is just a bit squeamish" Jemma said.
"Am not" Leo protested. He crossed his arms and bowed his head.
"Aw Leo, don't be ashamed. It's ok to be squeamish" I laughed as I threw my arm around his shoulders.
"I just don't like the smell. It's the smell" Leo muttered. Jemma sniggered and I smiled at her.
"Let's go see if Skye is waiting by the car" I said hoping that she was.
When we walked into the car park I spotted Lance sitting in the driver's seat of the car, and Skye sitting in the seat behind him. Lance was on his phone and Skye was just leaning against the window daydreaming.
Leo and Jemma climbed into the back and I jumped in next to Lance. "Hi guys" he said as he put his phone in his pocket.
"Hey Lance" Jemma said
"Hi Lance" Came Leo's voice.
"Hey" I said.
"Hey Skye" I heard Leo and Jemma say.
"Hey" Skye replied.
"Hey Skye" I said. There was no reply. Lance went to say something to her but I stopped him. "It's fine. Just leave it" I told him. He gave me a comforting smile and I happily returned it. Lance started the car and we drove off.
