"We need to get Skye to a medical facility and fast." Jemma said.

"May, set a course for the nearest SHIELD medical facility on the planet and do whatever it takes to get us there fast." Coulson said.

"Yes sir." May said.

"Ward, Simmons, Fitz, get Skye to the med pod downstairs and do whatever you have to do to keep her alive." Coulson said.

"Yes sir." They said.


When they landed at the medical base at a disclosed location, Simmons went in with the doctors to begin trying to bring Skye back to life.

When she came out, Ward said "Is Skye ok?"

"Well, she's alive, but her heart and lungs aren't strong enough to keep her alive. There's too much damage. We've got a device hooked into her chest to keep them working, but we don't have a power source that portable that will last long enough to keep her alive in the field or is strong enough to completely revive her." Jemma said.

"I think I know someone who can help with that." Steve said, grabbing his phone.

"Rogers, I know who you're talking about, but do you really think he'll help?" Coulson asked

"He's just like his father. Play to his ego, and Stark will do anything." Steve said.


Tony arrived at the medical base not a moment too soon.

"Coulson, it's good to see you up on your feet." Tony said as his armor opened up and let him out.

"Thank you. I assume you brought what we asked for?" Coulson said.

Tony reached into his armor and pulled out a spare arc reactor.

"One self-sustaining, self-repowering power source as you requested. Now where's the girl?" Tony asked

"Follow me." Jemma said, leading Tony into the base.


When they arrived at Skye's room, Jemma found that Ward was standing next to Skye's bedside.

"You might want to take a step back." Tony said as Jemma unhooked all the cable that were spouting from the device they had surgically injected into Skye's chest was barely keeping her alive, since they didn't have enough power to get the device to fully revive her.

"Right." Ward said, stepping back as Stark placed the arc reactor into the device. The reactor began to spin until it firmly planted itself in and began to power up.


After about 5 minutes, Skye's eyes opened.

"Welcome back to the land of the living." Ward said.

"Thanks, but what happened and why is there a hunk of metal in my chest?" Skye asked

"That hunk of metal is a miniaturized life support system that's powered by an arc reactor." Jemma said.

"In short, it's what's currently keeping you alive." Tony said.

"You're Tony Stark." Skye said

"Yep, and I've got a little get well soon gift for you." Stark said as he pulled a bracelet out of his pocket and handed it to Skye.

"A bracelet?" Skye asked

"Well, once they clear you, stand up, put it on and press that button. I think you'll like the results." Tony said as he headed out.


A few days later, Skye was cleared from the medical base.

"Well, time to see what Stark's present is." Ward said.

"Gladly." Skye said as she put the bracelet on and pressed the button.

"DNA confirmed. Beginning Quake armor assembly." The bracelet said.

"Wait what." Skye said as the bracelet began to expand and encompass her in armor.

"Get off." Skye said, sending out a vibrational tremor, but the armor just absorbed it.

"Say hello to the Quake armor. I designed it to work like mine, with the added benefit of helping Skye control her powers and actually channel them as a weapon. Of course, it's also equipped with a unibeam, repulsors, missiles, Gatling laser, fight, and all other kinds of fun toys." Tony said.

As the armor finished assembling, Skye began to adjust to having it on.

"This suit is incredible. These computers are running diagnostic algorithms on the device that's keeping me alive, the armors' status, weapons, everything." She said

"Yes. The suit is also equipped with everything needed to repair or even replace the arc reactor that's keeping you alive if need be." Tony said.

"That is sick, when can I have turn in that armor?" Fitz asked

"How about never. That suit is coded for Skye and only Skye. If anyone who is unauthorized tries to use it, it locks up and prepares a jolt of energy that will kill whoever is using it unless Skye shows up and lets them out." Tony said.

"Sweet." Skye said as she took off.

"Careful Skye." Coulson said

"Why, this suit is awesome." Skye said.

"Of course it is. I designed it." Tony said.
