Sorry for the semi-long wait. Here it is! The long awaited talk: enjoy!


"Really? He was saying that?"

"I'm telling you, Grant. He was begging to die. I'm really worried about him."

"Well, Coulson as tough as they come, so do get too worried."

"Skye, Agent May and I would like to see you in my office please."

"Oh my God. What did you do this time. They both wanna see you? Usually it's just Coulson."

"I didn't do anything. I know what this is about."

Skye walked from the kitchen to Coulson's office with a smile on her face. Total confidence. At first when she got there they didn't realize she was there. May was sitting on Coulson's desk with her back facing to door while he was in his leather seat. She could see there was a slight nervousness to Coulson's face.

"Knock knock?"

"Oh hey Skye. Come in.", Coulson said as he gestured for her to sit.

"What's up AC, May?"

"We need to talk to you about something"

Skye could tell they were nervous.

"Don't worry I know what this is about."

"You do?"

"Yeah. You two are worried that I'm gonna tell the rest of the team that you to are a couple and that you occasionally do it on the bus."

Coulson looked at May shocked. May was smiling.

"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you. She knows."

"Yeah I got that. thanks."

"Don't worry, AC. I'll keep your secret. Now are we done here or…"

May walked over to close the door.

"Actually Skye, that's not what we wanted to talk to you about."

"We wanted to talk to you about your parents."

Skye's face turned serious.

"Oh did you… did you-"

"Find them? Yeah."

Skye put her hands on her mouth to hide her jaw dropping.

"Before we tell you, you should know that none of it was your fault. No one wanted this to happen to you."

"I need to know. I have been waiting for as long as I can remember and it's all I've ever wanted."

Coulson and May looked at each other to assure that they were ready. Coulson started.

"Skye, you're parents were S.H.I.E.L.D agents."

"As you saw with Mr. Peterson, raising a child while you're an agent isn't easy. Ace was kidnapped to lure Mike"

"They were determined to make it work with you."

"And it did, for the first year of your life, you were surrounded by a happy family."

"But..", said Skye knowing the bad part was about to come.

"But bad guys like to ruin that sort of thing" said May.

"Your father dealt with a lot of bad people and a lot of them swore to hurt him in the worst ways possible if they ever found him again." Coulson never liked reliving this memory but if he was ever going to tell it again, this would be the time. "He never thought much about it. But one day, when he took you out for a walk, one of his enemies saw him. He followed you guys back to your house and just watched. Watched and waited for the perfect moment. Your mom worked late that night so it was just you two. When you and your father were sleeping the guy snuck in and took you."

Skye couldn't look at him. It was too real this man was telling her everything she's ever needed to hear.

May could tell Skye was overwhelmed.

"Skye, do you want to finish this story later?"

She wiped her tears and sat up. She needed to hear all of it now.

"I'm fine, please, go on."

This talk was killing Coulson. Every time he thought about this event it woke up a rage inside him that made him want to punish himself for it.

"S.H.I.E.L.D agents searched and eventually they were able to find you. But the director at the time didn't want your parents to keep you. He told them that if they wanted to keep you out of danger they'd have to give you up. But they were never willing to do that they loved you too much."

May could tell Coulson was starting to get emotional. He couldn't get emotional, not yet. So she continued the story.

"But one day, when your mother went to pick you up at the babysitter you weren't there. The director ordered men to take you to a orphanage far away. When your parents found out they were furious. So furious that they were able to get the world council to fire the director and the agents involved in your kidnapping."

"They searched and searched for years. But you were nowhere to be found. All they wanted to have you back home with them. to live the life that you deserved."

Skye was bent over in her chair with her hands over her face. May grabbed Coulson's and and nodded at him.

"We loved you, Skye."

For a moment there was silence. Coulson and May held their breath waiting for Skye to react. Slowly her hands pulled away from her face to look at them.

"We- you're my-"

"Deep down I think you knew."

"I was too afraid to hope."
