Chapter 7
AN: hey guys sorry for the late update. here is the next chapter, please feel free to review.
Two days ago Lady Sif and Thor had arrived they went over and over again describing Alex but Alex was right they had no idea of what she is or what Pilgraets were. Coulson did take Alex's advice protecting Skye. Keeping an awfully close eye on her after she told him about the whole sacrifice thing to stop 'The Enemy' who ever that is but a thread of doubt was turning in her stomach that was keeping a close eye on her due to her new talents.
Four days after round two of tedious debriefing had Skye sitting on a sofa with her laptop in her hands. Having avoided bringing up the whole Trip situation again because Simmons and the others had obviously passed the whole grieving stage; she thought that it wouldn't be fair if she told them, knowing he could never come back to them. It didn't stop it haunting her mind, or the hundred other thoughts that were running through it.
They were still in the Avengers Tower. Coulson was in talking with May, Hills and Thor; Simmons, Fitz and Mack were in one of the labs with Tony; Pepper was at work; Romanov and Barton were in the gym with Bobbie and Hunter, and Sif? Well, Skye had no idea where she was. For the six days she had been here she was not allowed to leave and everyone seemed to be walking on eggshells around her. Knowing Simmons wanted to do more than the simple blood test she had already taken after the first debrief, Skye was grateful of her friend's restraint.
Thoroughly bored, she tucked her laptop away. Deciding not to be a prisoner of fear or of Coulson, Skye stood up and headed for the door.
"Where do you think you're going?" A voice rang out as elevator door closed on the ground floor.
Skye turned to see Lady Sif standing there with her ever present sword and shield. "For a walk,"
"I don't think that would be wise. Does Phil Son-of-Coul, know you are going on this walk?"
"I don't need to tell him everything. Besides it is just a walk," Skye retorted. "I coped fine getting out of the lift."
"Still, I think it's best if you tell him" Sif suggested.
"Noted, now if you don't mind…" Skye started forward and as she went to push the door open she noticed it was locked. "Jarvis open the door" Skye commanded.
"I'm Sorry Miss Skye; your orders are being overridden." The AI called over the PA.
"By who?"
"By me," Tony replied, entering through the elevator followed by Hills, Coulson and May.
"Coulson, I just want to go for a walk. I've been in this tower for six days, please." Skye begged.
"Fine. May, Maria and Sif go with her."
"I don't need babysitters…" Skye began, but stopped when as she received a look from May and scarily Coulson too. They had both donned the same no-arguments look. The glance she spared at Maria dashed her hopes of any allies. "Fine let's go."
"Wait,"
The voice halted all of them. Simmons appeared she handed something to Coulson then sent a fleeting, apologetic look at Skye, turned and then left. A sinking feeling emerged in her stomach. The silver bracelet in Coulson's hand was just like the one she had to wear when she had betrayed their trust. Tears stung her eyes as she grabbed the bracelet from his outstretched hand. She quickly turned and left through the now open door, Sif catching up easily- matching her stride for stride, and May and Hills tailed tem. She looked down at the silver slab of steel around her wrist, hoping it was just a track bracelet, but doubted it all the same. Closing her mind off from the bracelet as well as the hurt and betrayal she felt; Skye gazed up at the horizon and started focusing on her surroundings, or anything that would serve as a distraction.
Completely unaware of how far they were from the tower, looking through the crowds she started at how reckless she had been, there are people after her and she had not been paying attention so when she was tackled to the ground from someone on her right. She was angry more at herself for not paying attention she jumped up and saw a man in a trench coat she glared at him. 'Seriously did these creatures have nothing better to do?' Skye thought to herself sourly. Peering closer she noted eight others dressed in the same dull coat. Sif stepped in front of Skye, sword drawn and ready. Maria and May followed suit on either side of her in a heartbeat.
