Skye was exhausted. Even with the band's help, she was still up late and piled with work. She had made about 70 trips in the past month and still wasn't even close to being halfway down the list.

"Coulson." Skye said.

"What's wrong?" Coulson asked, seeing the distressed look on Skye's face.

"All of this work you've given me. It's too much. I can't take it anymore. Either you have to strike some of these projects and let me work on them one at a time, or you need to get some more people on them. I have too much on my plate. So much that I can barely control my abilities. I am too overworked." Skye said.

"You're right. Skye, I'll have Wilson, May, Mack, Fitz and Simmons begin to take over your work. In the meantime, I want you to take an indefinitely long vacation to any destination you desire to calm your nerves. No tech, no missions, no SHIELD, just relaxation." Coulson said.

"I'll be in the Caribbean. Don't contact me unless you have no other options. I'll leave instructions and schematics before I go." Skye said

"Great. Let me know when you arrive and when you leave." Coulson said.

"Yes sir." Skye said as she went to her room to pack her things.


"Sir, where's Skye?" Ward asked

"I told her to go and take a long and relaxing vacation." Coulson answered.

"Great, I was afraid she'd bite my head off if she got any more stressed." Ward said.

"Yes, apparently I piled too many things onto Skye and she freaked out. She'll be in the Caribbean. Top of the line SHIELD facility. The entire place is automated. It's very remote and very relaxing. She'll be safe there." Coulson assured him.

"Great." Ward said.


Skye was lounging on a beach chair in front of the facility where she had been staying, wearing a bright blue bikini, tanning.

Had her eyes been open and she was aware of her surroundings, she would've seen her attackers coming. But she stupidly thought that since she was on vacation, she would be safe.

But about 8 or 9 goons jumped her and sedated her.

But not before she triggered and emergency signal back to HQ.


"What's up?" Jemma asked as she entered Coulson's office.

"About 5 minutes, an emergency distress beacon was triggered at Skye's location in the Caribbean. I fear that her father may have taken this instance to recruit more of Skye's kind and seize her by force." Coulson said.

"What do you mean her father and Skye's kind?" Steve asked

The veteran agents looked at each other before Ward said "Skye's father is a deranged maniac whose sole purpose in life is to reassemble the family that HYDRA took from him. They killed his wife and SHIELD seized Skye to keep her safe. It drove him over the edge to have his family seized from him. As for Skye's kind. Well, Skye's what we've decided to call an inhuman. It means that while she is technically human, her ancestors were given powers by the alien species known as the Kree, hundreds of years ago. And she's not the only one like that."

"Got it, thanks for that heads up." Sam said.

"No problem." Ward said.

"But now we need to find Skye. Ward, May, Morse, you 3 are to scout area, find any information you can about where they might've taken Skye. Fitz, Simmons, Wilson, hack the security grid in the area, see if you can get us any visual of the people who took Skye." Coulson said.

"Yes sir." They all said at once.


When Skye came to, she found she was in some kind of holding cell.

"What's going on?" Skye asked

"Look who's finally up?" Said a voice that Skye would not soon forget.

"You know, your new look still creeps me out sometimes Reina." Skye said to her fellow inhuman.

"Well, we can't all go through the transformation and still look great like you did." Reina said.

"I swear, when I get out of this, I'm going to put 2 bullets through your skull." Skye said.

"You really believe that you have a way of out of this one. Our new leader, your father, the doctor, has made sure that you cannot escape. He's looking forward to seeing you again." Reina said.

"Wish I could say the same about seeing him but I don't." Skye said.

"Well, I'm sure some time among your equals will change your mind. And don't even think about trying to use your powers to escape that cell. It's designed so that when an inhuman uses their powers, they feel pain." Reina said.

"Powers aren't my only party trick." Skye reminded her.

"Maybe not, but without a computer, the rest of your skills are useless." Reina said as she walked out of the room.


"Sir, according to this surveillance footage, a bunch of inhumans wearing vibration absorbent suits kidnapped Skye took her into some kind of underwater transport." Fitz said.

"Thanks Fitz, begin to scan the ocean floor for any sign of inhuman bio readings or activity. And call the others back from the vacation facility." Coulson said

"Yes sir." Fitz said
