Author's Note: I thought Skye deserved her own chapter
The usual; I don't own agents of shield
Chapter 4
Skye heard the thud of Fitz hitting the floor in the room next door and knew it was time to meet the day. Turning the shower on Skye just stood there letting the water fall. Nothing much mattered anymore, even getting out of bed was a challenge. SHIELD had been the family she had never had, now it was gone and Ward, well she wasn't entirely sure what Grant Ward had been, more than a friend and so much more than just her S.O. and he had betrayed them. In fact only one thing mattered now, taking Ward down, after that nothing mattered. When the water started to run cold Skye got out and got dressed. Maybe today she would have some toast and listen to one of Trip's war stories. Maybe today her hack would come through and she could begin to move on with her life, right after they brought HYDRA to its knees.
Leaning against the door Skye was afraid to go out, the looks of pity from Fitz and Trip, the "how are you doing?" she was bound to get from Simmons. Her stomach grumbled, making Skye's decision for her. Even Fitz's burned toast was better than living on air, only just.
Opening the door Skye stopped at the sight before her. Grant Ward was sitting at the table with team, drinking coffee, it was like he had never left. The only difference was the silence, FitzSimmons didn't joke with each other, they didn't even argue and Trip wasn't telling war stories as Coulson hung on every word.
Skye noticed the empty seat between May and Coulson, deliberately placed so she didn't have to sit next to Ward.
Every emotion that Skye had suppressed over the last few days came crashing down on her all at once. Ward's betrayal hit hardest off all, now the team was betraying her by sitting with him like nothing ever happened.
When she didn't step forward Coulson was the first to notice, he smiled "Sleeping Beauty awakens, we have a lot to talk about."
Skye slammed the door.
