The next morning Skye woke up early. She quickly changed into her workout clothes and made her way to the gym at the slingshot. She had woken up to another nightmare that she could not remember and need to work off her anger.

She had been going at the punching bag for an hour before she was joined by May. "Couldn't sleep?" May asked.

"I slept. I don't usual sleep long." Skye said honestly since she had noticed that in the months she could remember. It is like she had learned how to survive without the luxury of sleeping in.

May looked at her and asked, "Want to join me in Tai Chi?"

"Never tried but sure," Skye answered honestly.

"Just copy my movements," May said as she started.

Skye quickly caught on and was doing very well as they went through the poses.

When they finished May looked at her and says "The Director wants me to assess your fighting skills."

"So I heard. So shall we spar?" Skye asked as she made her way towards the mats.

May smirked and followed after Skye. She was actually looking forwards to this after what she had heard Ward report.

From the instance that both of them got into a fighting stance neither of them held back as they fought. May knew the instance that Skye started to fight that she had been trained in a similar fighting style that Natasha used.

After a couple of hours, they were starting to draw a crowd. This put Skye on edge since she had to also block out the emotions around her to a greater extent. In the end May finally got in a surprise blow which allowed her to pin Skye.

"You're good," May said while smiling at her.

Skye just nods as she ignored those around her. She grabbed a water bottle and a towel from nearby.

"I have only fought one other person with a fighting style like yours," May said honestly.

"Who?" Skye asked curiously.

"Agent Romanov. She is known mainly as the Black Widow." May said while watching Skye curiously.

Skye had flinched both at her soulmates last name and the word widow. A pounding headache formed as she quickly adds those words mentally to her list. Skye took a long drink from her water and says "W-we can do firearms after lunch. I have a headache and an empty stomach."

May nods but watched her worriedly. It seems that Skye might have more problems than she is letting them know about. She followed after Skye and says "are you going to be ok to do firearms right after lunch?"

"Well, there is only one way to find out," Skye said honestly.

During lunch, Skye took some aspirin and was avoiding the words that had caused the pain in her head. She knew that she was going to take both of those words and think hard about them in hopes to trigger a memory. The headache was now a dull throb as she went the shooting range with May.

"Pick out your weapon," May said calmly. She wanted to know if Skye preferred pistols just like Natasha. She was already planning to make a call to Natasha next time they were going to stay at a shield base.

Skye brushed her hand over the guns gently. She looked at each one but was slightly distracted by the curiosity that was just rolling off of the motionless Agent May. She was tempted to glance but she knew that May would not show any emotion on her face.

Skye's hand brushed over a pistol which she instinctively picked up. She made sure it was not loaded before she began to inspect it. A hint of a smile showed on Skye's face as she quickly loaded the gun. When she went to shoot but then frowned. She quickly put it down.

She looked back at the table and saw another just like it. She quickly repeated the process and held one in each hand. "Ok, I am ready," Skye said while a small smirk was on her face.

May turned on the simulation and watched in surprise as Skye was instinctively making the same movements and motions as Natasha had. May knew that whoever Skye was she was very well trained and deadly. Skye was an assassin.

When the simulation finished Skye calmly sat down at a table and began to clean the weapons. She dismantled them and was cleaning them in her haze of automatic movements when the shock coming from May made her come out of it. "Did I do something wrong?" Skye asked curiously.

"Why are you here?" May asked bluntly.

"Well, I honestly felt that Shield could help me," Skye said while shrugging.

"Help you with what?" May said while her eyes narrowed.

Skye looked at May calmly in the eyes and began to try and figure out if she could trust the women in front of her.

"Why should I trust you with my story? How do I know you will not tell anyone else? I was in a bad situation before. Now that it is all better does it really matter?" Skye asked May as she stared at May directly in the eyes. She was being defensive since she honestly didn't know whether or not to tell.

May looked at her and says "I might be able to help if I know your problem."

Skye looked back at her guns and says "We can talk once we are back in the air. I don't feel safe talking about this in a Shield base."

May curtly nods and says "I look forwards to the talk."

May looked at the other weapons and asked "Are you good with a sniper rifle?"

Skye looked at it and smiled.

Coulson went to find May and Skye. He was not that surprised to find them at the shooting range still. Skye was in the middle of showing that she could use a regular rifle and reload without getting hit in the large simulation.

Skye seemed to be having no troubles at all.

"What is your report on Skye?" Coulson asked.

"She is hiding something big from us. We need to find out what it is. She fights and shoots in an almost identical style as Natasha. Once we find out what she is hiding and are at another Shield base we should call Nat for some help. She is willing to tell me something once we are back in the air." May said seriously.

Coulson watched Skye for a little longer before turning fully towards May and says "I agree. Will you inform me of what she tell you?"

Skye walked up and says "Why are you so curious about me when there are criminals out there." She looked tense and was not looking very calm.

Skye was fighting with her vibrational control. Her emotions were at a high since her headache had been increasing since she had continued to try different weapons. Her breathing was heavy.

"Skye calm down. We just want to help." Coulson said calmly.

"Well stop trying," Skye said angrily

Skye brushed past them and made her way towards the other gym. Everyone in the gym quickly moved out of the way seeing as they could see just how pissed off she was. The gym quickly cleared out. Skye quickly began to attack the punching bag. She put a little vibration behind each punch to let some of her pent-up powers. It would easily be mistaken for her own strength. Tears started to fall down her cheeks after a couple of minutes.

She kept going till she broke the bag. Her knuckles were red and only slightly bleeding. She stood there still taking deep breaths. She quickly wiped her eyes and got a water bottle. She drank half of it when she recoiled with the pain of a memory.

Skye had just finished attacking her third punching bag. It was early in the morning. She was moving to the next unbroken one when arms wrapped around her waist.

Skye almost attacked them before she felt a familiar pair of lips on the back of her neck. The calm sensation that poured through the touch made her relax slightly in her soulmate's arms.

"What set you off this time?" The voice of her soulmate sounded directly in her ear. It would have caused her to shiver if she had not been so distraught.

"The experiment those bastards did to me. All the pain they have caused us." Skye says in a voice that is barely audible.

Skye felt the arms around her waist tighten. "You don't have to deal with this alone. I am not going anywhere. We are going to stick together now that we are free." Her soulmate said. Skye could feel the love and calm coming off of her soulmate. It was also helping that they had continuous skin to skin contact since her soulmate had now worked her hands under Skye's tank top.

Skye had dropped her water bottle during the flashback. She was trembling from the lack of bond she could feel. She felt the pull of the bond in her flashback but it was muted now. It made Skye feel more alone than ever. A lone tear falls down her cheek as she picked up the water bottle and left the gym. It was dinner time and she was hungry from training all day.

Natasha gasped as the bond flared slightly to allow the emotional pain that Daisy felt through. It was one of the few times that it had flared to life during the daytime. She had been training with Steve and had stumbled slightly. She pulled away from the fight.

"What is it?" Steve asked concerned.

Natasha sighed as the bond quickly went muted again. "I will tell you later. Right now I just need to spar."

Natasha showed up at Steve's apartment once more. She climbed in through the window. She saw Steve standing there with his shield ready to attack. "Relax it is just me," Natasha said calmly after she had activated her signal jammer.

Natasha just leaned against the wall and was fiddling with the necklace that Daisy had given her before she had left. She was too agitated to sit down.

"Want to tell me what happened during training?" Steve said as he put his shield down and made his way into the kitchen to get something to drink.

"Our bond flared to life for a minute before going back to the way it has been since she went missing," Natasha said quietly. She usually would not share this personal information with anyone but since Steve was Daisy's father he had a right to know.

"What did you feel? Is she hurt?" Steve asked quickly.

"She was in emotional pain but I did not feel anything that was physical," Natasha said quietly. She was still mentally trying to figure out what possibly caused this flare. The only thing she could think of was Daisy was possibly beginning to slowly remember things.

"That is better than no news at all," Steve said as he put his hand on Natasha's shoulder and offered her a beer.

Natasha shrugged off the hand and declined the beer. "I am going back to my place. I just wanted to give you the info." She said emotionlessly. She needed space and time to think. She was not the best at being emotionally vulnerable around others.

Steve nods and didn't stop her from leaving. He just sat down and began to drink the beer himself even though he could not get drunk.
