The next day Skye arrives at the airstrip at 7 AM just as Hill told her to. She parks her van near the plane, takes her bag from the back and gets out. There are agents and technicians everywhere. As soon as her feet touch the ground and she shuts the door an agent in a dark suit steps up to her van and reaches to open the door. Skye stops him by grabbing his hand.
"Hey, be careful with that. It's the only home I have. If anything happens to my van I will personally find you and…"
"Skye, stop threatening agents, please!" Coulson's voice interrupts her. She spins around to find him standing at the end of the cargo bay. "But if I were you, Agent Collins, I'd listen to her." He says then turns around and returns inside. The agent quickly nods, get's in the van and drives away, something Skye isn't really glad to see. She takes a deep breath and heads to the plane.
She can't help but smile as she sees her. Next to the dark SUV is a beautiful 1962 Chevrolet Corvette. Lola. She should have known Coulson wouldn't leave her behind.
Just as she's walking past her an agent reaches his hand to touch the red hood of the car.
"Don't touch Lola."
Once she's inside she sees a glass door that obviously lead to a lab. It's empty so she avoids the punching bag that's hanging from the ceiling and heads straight for the stairs. When she's at the top she's met with Coulson leaning against the bar clearly waiting for her.
"You're here. I was starting to think you changed your mind. Then I heard you threatening that agent." He says with a smile.
Skye smirks and walks over to him, looking around. "Yeah, yeah. So, this is really nice. So much nicer then my van. And cleaner. And you have a bar! Fury agreed to all this?" She asks, suspiciously raising her eye brow.
"He really did! I was surprised too. Come on, you can leave your bag here for now. Everyone's waiting in the command center." He says and without another word he walks away and Skye, of course, follows.
"Well, that is a big screen. Not as big as at the Hub but it'll do." That's the first thing she says, totally ignoring the people in the room causing her to miss the looks between the muscled guy and the little Chinese lady.
"Ok everyone, this is Skye, she's going to be our computer expert. Skye, this is Agent Melinda May, our pilot."
Skye finally turns away from the screen.
"Oh, sorry. It's nice to meet you Agent May. I've heard a lot about you." Skye says reaching over the table to shake the older woman's hand which she accepts.
"You too." That's it. Nothing else. Oookey.
"These are Agents Grant Ward, Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz. We call them FitzSimmons, they are like twins." Coulson continues. Skye shakes hand with everybody trying to ignore how soft Simmons' skin is and once she gets to Fitz she can't help but ask.
"Oh, Leo? Is that a short for something?"
"No." he says a little too quickly while Simmons says "yes" at the same time. She sees Ward smirk from the corner of her eye.
"So what is it? I promise I won't laugh." She says trying not to smirk, knowing if Fitz doesn't want to share it probably means it's embarrassing.
"Leopold." He mumbles while looking at the floor. Skye smiles at him, sure it's not exactly typical name but she's heard worse.
"That's not that bad, you have nothing to be embarrassed about." She says kindly. And now it's Simmons' turn to smile. She didn't expect that. Most people make fun of Fitz because of his name but this Skye seemed genuinely interested. It's nice.
"So um, Skye. Agent Coulson told us you two know each other. What is the story behind that?" She asks curiously.
Skye chuckles and looks at Coulson who smiles back at her. "Yeah that is a good one. You want to be the one to tell them, AC?"
"Skay here hacked S.H.I.E.L.D. with a laptop three years ago." He says and Skye thinks she might've heard a little pride in his voice.
"Wait, that was you?" Fitz interrupts. "I heard about that. And three years ago, you must have been what twenty? That's really impressive."
"I was nineteen, actually and it wasn't really that hard." She turns to Coulson. "But you could have been a little more gentle you know? That bag over my head and cuffs weren't really necessary. I would have gone with you willingly…maybe." At Coulson's raised eyebrow she gives up. "Ok, I would have run. I know."
"Skye, you did run. That's why we had to cuff you." Coulson says in amusment.
"Huh, I did, didn't I?" Skye smirks and nudges Coulson with her elbow.
May rolls her eyes at the exchange.
"I don't want to interrupt this memory lane but we should get in the air." May says, while already on her way to the cockpit. "You can finish this later."
"Ok, right. Simmons, can you show Skye her bunk? And then make sure everyone's buckled up." Coulson says follows May.
Jemma walks up to Skye and puts a hand on her arm not noticing how her muscles tense just a little. "Come on, I'll show you where you can put your things." She takes Skye back to the common room, where she takes her bag, and leads her to the side of the plane.
"And here we are, this is your bunk. On the left side is mine, on the right is Agent May, next to her is Ward and the last one is Fitz. Agent Coulson has his own room connected to his office." Simmons explains and Skye moves in and places her bag next to the bed.
"It's not anything special but it's nice. Not much space but we are on a plane after all." Simmons chuckles nervously.
"No, it's ok, I'm used to small spaces." Skye says but as she's still looking around the room she misses the confused look on Jemma's face. But she keeps quiet instead she gestures to the panel next to the door.
"Well, here is the panel, you can change the light setting and even activate the sound prove function if you want more privacy. You know, if you like loud music or anything."
Skye nods her understanding and turns back to the scientist.
"We should go outside and buckle up, Agent May is going to start the plane soon." Simmons says and they both go out and sit down next to Fitz and Ward who are already buckled up.
Skye can't help herself. She keeps glancing at Ward nervously. She's getting a weird vibe from him. Somehow his posture reminds her of Joe so she's really glad she's not sitting right next to him. She tries to direct her attention to something else so she focuses on the feel of the engines running that suddenly start to vibrate the seat she's sitting in. A few seconds later she feels the plane getting off the ground.
This is it, she tells herself. There is no going back.
