AN: I don't own anything that you recognize in the slightest, except the plot! Hello it's me! Enjoy!
Skye's name is pronounced 'Shy-uh' or 'Shy'
HELLO MY LOVELIES! I'M BA-ACK!

Skye raced over to the door in time to see her mom pick up a phone and say playfully, "Oh, turn it off. I'm breaking in, not out. This is River song, back in her cell."
At the last few words, she smiled sadly at the TARDIS, before hanging up, and stepping into a... cell. A cage made of brick and bars, with a little window, and a cot, and a little wardrobe. Skye stiffened in shock, even as her heart broke for her mom.
"My mom's a criminal?"

She sat down hard in the jump seat, and Coulson sat beside her. the Doctor stood still for a moment, gazing at the door with sorrow and pain etched into his face, before he shook himself, and became the cheery person he'd been since he showed up. "Alright Shai, let's get the old girl parked I-' he yelped and flailed about with his coat for a moment before producing a what looked like a thin leather bifold badge. He flipped it open, and skimmed a piece of paper inside. "You two up for another trip?"
They nodded and he immediately started fiddling with the controls. "See, your mother and I being time travelers means it's all wibbly-wobbly, back-to-front, mixed up, and jumbled about. So even though we just dropped her off, a different her just sent me a distress call!"
The TARDIS shook and groaned, and Skye gripped the seat desperately, before they jolted to a stop, they familiar wheezing groan filling the air. Not a split second later, he wrenched open the door, giving them the briefest glimpse of the sky before River literally tumbled in, slamming into the Doctor, pinning him.
"Sweetie," she murmured, before she passed out. He immediately freaked out, wiggling out from under her, scooping her up, and rushing her out of the console room. Skye and Coulson immediately followed. The Doctor had taken her to what looked like an entire hospital in one room, only it was more advanced than any they'd ever seen.
River was lying on a bed, and the Doctor was frantically scanning her while simultaneously trying to grab a large bag. Coulson grabbed the scanner, freeing him up to grab the bag and rummage through it. He started cleaning and dressing what looked like a large burn on her side, before biting his lip. He checked to make sure she was asleep, he held a hand to the nasty wound instead of a bandage. His hand started to glow gold, and the light flowed over the burn, and when it faded, there was only smooth, unblemished skin. Just then, she started to wake, leaving him looking like a deer in headlights.
River however, simply turned over, and fell back asleep, obviously utterly exhausted. the Doctor carefully slipped off her shoes, jacket, dress, belt, etc., and undid her hair. He slid out of his button down and the t-shirt underneath, helped her into the t-shirt, and then tucked her in, placing a few monitors nearby, that immediately started recording her vitals. He then quietly slipped out of the room, after placing a tender kiss on her forehead, gesturing for them to follow. Once they were down the hall a ways, Skye asked, "Where are we going?"
"To the kitchen. I now must find every jar in there, and tighten it."
"Why?" Both Skye's face and tone clearly said she thought her father was insane.
"Because, when she finds out what I've just done, she's going to be furious. So she's going to avoid me and give me the silent treatment for as long as she's hear. So I'll do what I always do: tighten all the jars past her strength level (it's a good thing they're not 21st century Earth jars) so she has to come to me to get it open." He explained, tightening them as he spoke.
Skye giggled. "That's so sweet!...Um... What DID you do?"
"It's complicated, I'll explain later, I promise!" He hurried to the console room. "I've got to get you two dropped off, because if I'm right, and I usually am, that's a River that doesn't know you yet."
"But I only just got you two back! You can't leave again!" Skye protested.
"Sorry Shai," he hugged her gently, but tightly. "But I must. But I can give you this."
He handed her a slim IPhone-like device. "This is a holo-phone. It will produce a hologram of whomever you call. You can't let it fall into anyone else's hands. This is for you and you alone. It has six numbers programmed in. Mine, your mothers, the TARDIS, Phil Coulson, and your grandparents. The TARDIS is an emergency link to us, or a way to see where we are, or view records of events. It also doubles as a computer. Remember what your mother said? In case of emergency, just make a wish, and it'll reach us on the psychic." He produced that odd bifold leather wallet thing again. Then he pulled out another and handed it to her. "Speaking of which, this one's for you. This is basically a free pass. You just focus on what you want people to see, and only a true genius will see through it, like me, your mom, Shakespeare, Einstein, people like that. But don't let your mind wander. Oh, and, no underage drinking. I'll know if you do."
She sighed. "Wasn't planning to. Thank you, Daddy."
She hugged him tightly around the neck. and then pulled away quickly. "Alright, AC, let's go then." She stepped out of the TARDIS quickly, Coulson at her heels, then watched tearfully (though she'd deny it if asked) as her dad left. Coulson hugged her tightly.
"It's alright, Skye. I know them. They'll be back soon. Now that they have you back, they aren't going to let you be away from them for too long." Skye nodded slightly, and fell onto the couch. "I know, AC. I just don't like to see them go."
And then the others began their interrogation. "Why did you two leave? What's going on? Where'd they go" Where'd you go?" Coulson raised his hands in the universal 'peace' gesture. They all fell silent.
"River had to go back to her place of residence, unavoidable unfortunately. Then the Doctor had to pick up river, a past version, and take care of her as she had gotten into a bit of trouble. We had to leave after that, as that River hasn't had Skye yet." He explained, quickly and simply. "But Skye possess two means of communicating with them, and, if I know my old friends, they won't stay away for long if they can help it."
Just then, the familiar wheezing groan filled the air, as a breeze ran through the Bus, and the TARDIS materialized around them. The Doctor and River peered around the console. "Shai! You're here! So, how long has it been you lot?"
