Prompt from SwifteForeverAndAlways. Something or another happens and Bobbi acts like a big sister to Skye and FitzSimmons because she really does view them as her younger siblings.

It was supposed to be an easy op. Go in, grab the object, scan the area, and get out. They had no reason to suspect any other presence.

Ward wasn't supposed to be there. He wasn't supposed to have a team.

No one was supposed to get hurt.

They had tracked down another Obelisk, they all refused to call them Diviners. They called in Skye because she was the only one capable of touching it without being turned to stone, so far as the team knew. FitzSimmons came so they could design a case for it and also scan to see if they could find any clues as to who left the Obelisk.

But, it turned out that Ward had found it too, and the team only beat them there by a few minutes. They had barely even entered the cave where the Obelisk had been hidden when Ward and his new team cornered them.

Ward had a team of all fighters and no one to defend. Skye was the only agent cleared for combat, and she had to protect FitzSimmons.

She thought about using her powers but wasn't sure she could without making the cave collapse in on them all. Skye cursed at the small space, but more than that she cursed Ward. She had to try.

"Don't touch the Obelisk." Ward warned his team. "And don't let Skye here, get to it."

Ward smiled at her and ran his hand down her arm giving her the chills.

"Don't touch me Ward." She practically growled.

"You used to like it when I did that." He tilted his head at her.

"Yeah, before you showed your true colors, Nazi."

"I'm not a Nazi." He defended weakly.

Skye closed her eyes. She could hear the rock all around them buzzing with energy, but she tried to tune that out. She needed to focus on a certain frequency. Before she could isolate it she heard Simmons scream. Immediately, she turned to see one of Ward's men holding the Obelisk with tongs, and he was holding it less than an inch from Simmons's face.

"Tell him to let her go." Skye said to Ward. "You've done enough to her."

"Have I?" Ward had a sadistic gleam in his eye.

Skye finally isolated Ward's cells' vibrations. He fell to the ground, gasping for air.

"Let FitzSimmons go back to the plane." She spoke sternly. Skye eased up on him just enough for him to speak.

"Do as she says." Ward's voice was weak, and the man with the Obelisk backed away from Simmons.

"Go back to the plane." Skye said to Fitz.

"But you-" Fitz tried to argue.

"I'll be fine. Take Simmons and go!" She ordered, and Fitz finally obeyed.

Skye released her hold on Ward as soon as she was sure FitzSimmons were far enough away.

The tongs Ward's lackey held the Obelisk with fell apart, and the Obelisk fell on his foot. He began to turn to stone.

"What's happening, Boss?" Ward refused to look at him.

Skye moved before Ward even had a chance to react. She kicked him in the nose and dove toward where the Obelisk had fallen and grabbed it. She saw the familiar red-orange glow and rolled toward another member of Ward's team. He was stone in less than a minute.

Finally she was close enough to the exit. She started the rocks falling between her and Ward, trapping him inside.

From outside, where FitzSimmons were sitting by the plane, they could see the mountain starting to fall. Rocks were tumbling down everywhere.

"No!" Fitz yelled. "Skye!"

"What is she doing she's still in there?" Simmons had tears welling up in her eyes.

They saw a figure running toward them. A rock fell nearly crushing the figure, but she blew it apart and kept running.

Fitz breathed a sigh of relief. Skye had made it out.

When she reached the plane, Simmons ran toward her, wrapping her arms around her friend. Skye had to hold one arm, the arm holding the Obelisk, far away from Simmons, but Skye hugged her back with her other arm.

Fitz held out the container he had made, and Skye dropped the Obelisk inside. After he closed the box, Skye gestured for him to join the hug, and he complied.

All three of them were visibly shaken up, and they still were when they returned to the base.

Bobbi was the first one to come across the little group.

"This wasn't a combat mission. What happened?"

"Ward showed up." Skye started. Bobbi's face darkened.

"He had a new team." Simmons continued.

"Skye collapsed the cave on them." Fitz added.

"And herself." Simmons mumbled.

"Did they make it out?" Bobbi questioned.

They all knew what answer she wanted, they wanted it too, but Skye didn't want to lie. "I don't know. I counted seven ways to get out. I blocked off the way I went, but I didn't want to stick around long enough to close the others after I started the collapse."

Bobbi nodded. There was silence for only a moment. "C'mon, you guys need some cheering up." Bobbi said looking between the three of them. "I'm taking you somewhere."

Skye and FitzSimmons looked confused.

"Ok," Skye said hesitantly. "Where to?"

"It's a surprise." She looked at their faces. Each held a mix of confusion and sadness. "You'll like it I swear. C'mon."

They followed Bobbi out to the garage and into a van.

"Where are you going? Those three have a debriefing to go to." An agent said as they climbed into the car.

"Oh, well. I'm taking them. They can be debriefed later. Coulson will understand." The agent still didn't look convinced. "I can call the director if I need to." The agent backed off.

"Um, there's a dangerous piece of alien metal that will either turn people into stone or give them powers on the plane still." Skye pointed out as the agent left.

Bobbi pursed her lips. "I'll call Mack and have him grab it on the way out."

~_~AOS~_~

Skye and FitzSimmons did love Bobbi's surprise location. It was a mom and pop ice cream parlor about a half hour's drive away from the base. They had a hundred flavors and didn't mind giving a sample of each and every one.

The small group talked and laughed until they forgot all about Ward.
