Chapter 11
Skye's Point of View
The next morning I woke with the intention of confronting May about who my father was. As I made my way out for breakfast I found that everyone else was already awake and dressed. They were standing around the table discussing our next mission. I walked into the room and asked "why didn't anyone wake me up?" They all looked at me trying not to laugh. Jemma finally answered me "well Skye we did try but every time someone shook you, you sort of slapped them. So we let you sleep" she giggled.
"Ohh well apologies to whoever I slapped" I said. "Your forgiven" they all replied. I blushed haven not remembered them even being in my room. As I walked over to stand beside May and Jemma at they table the moved over to let me in. Coulson began to explain the mission of the day. His explanation didn't last long he kept it short and sweet. "We are going to London, we need to clean up after a certain Asgardian who left a little mess after his latest visit." He explained. "WAIT, DO YOU MEAN THOR?" I yelled excited. He nodded in conformation. I grinned and said, "COOL!" he smiled and said "I knew you would like this mission."
As we finished up at the table and went to get ready for the day I stopped May. I waited until the others had left the room before saying "May can I ask you something?" I was nervous about what she would say. "Skye I told you ask me anything. What is it?" she replied. "Um well I was wondering of you could tell me who my father was? I mean you haven't mentioned him and there are no pictures so I was curious." May's faces changed from happy to a mixture of anger and worry "Skye you can ask me anything but that. I don't want to talk about your father and I don't want you to have anything to do with him. Please don't bring this up again its for your own good and your own safety!"
I was shocked she had no right to keep this kind of information from me. "May you said ask anything? I have a right to know who he was at least! I want to know please tell me!" I said growing annoyed. May gave me a very motherly look and said "I'm not discussing this with you. I told you I wasn't talking about it and that's it! Skye you do not need to know him and I'm not telling you that's final!" she walked off at that.
As she pulled open the door I yelled after her "ONCE COULSON TAKES THIS STUPID WRISTBAND OFF, I'M OUT OF HERE THAT WAY I CAN FIND OUT WHO HE WAS ON MY OWN!" she glared back at me, but I got the impression I had worried her by my words.
Melinda May's Point of View
Takes place after Skye asks about her dad.
As I head towards the cockpit I am in a state of worry. Skye had just asked about her father and I had refused to tell her. I had expected this question eventually of course but not this soon. I thought we were getting along fine and that she would wait. However that was not the case and after I refused to tell her she threatened to leave the BUS!
I didn't know what to do, it was for her own safety that I didn't tell her but she would never accept that. I needed to come up with a plan so I decided that after this mission I would talk to Coulson about it. I thought to myself, its time we found that redacted file and burn it, Skye can never find out more than I tell her. I couldn't handle the consequences if she found out things she shouldn't. They would get her killed for sure.
As we approached our destination of London I was grateful that Skye was excited about this mission. It would keep her from asking more questions and would hopefully put her out of her sulking mood. I was right, once we were inside the building Thor's alien friends had hit in their ship she was bouncing around looking at things. She was definitely out of her mood, but not with me. She blanked me every time I went to talk to her the only time she spoke was when she had to about the case. I hated the silent treatment I missed talking to her. However Skye seemed to know I hated it so she made it last longer!
Once we were back on the BUS I tried again to talk to Skye. "Hey what is with the silent treatment?" I asked her. Skye glared at me and replied, "I'm not giving you the silent treatment May." I looked at her and rolled my eyes "yes you are Skye and I want to know why, is it because I wont tell you about your father?" She looked at me, thought for a moment and then walked away without a word. She was making me nervous the last thing I wanted was to find her gone in the morning. I decided to give her more time to cool off before I asked her again.
As our case progressed we got a call to say we needed to go to a National Park where a couple had chopped down a tree and retrieved something from it. Once on the scene Fitzsimmons pulled out there equipment and got to work. They soon had a 3D model of what looked like a staff. We headed back to the BUS to examine it. A short while later Fitzsimmons had determined the staff was Asgardian and they didn't know how the couple had found it. "Maybe it called to them, you know magically?" Skye suggested. I rolled my eyes she was obsessed with magic. "I don't think so Skye, why would it just call to those two in particular?" I asked. She pretended not to hear me.
Coulson must have sensed the tension as he intervened saying, "It is possible when I first got word of Thor's hammer I didn't know what it was. We should go to Seville there is an expert there I consulted before he should be able to help. May can you set course?" I looked at him pulled out my tablet and said "already done." He smiled and walked off. As he did Skye came into my full view, she stuck her tongue out at me and said, "See Coulson doesn't think my ideas about magic are stupid!" I thought about reacting but I walked away instead. She was so childish sometimes!
Once we were in Seville we set off to find the professor Coulson knew. We found him at a university. He confirmed the staff was Asgardian and told us of the warrior who owned it. He also told us there was two remaining pieces that the couple had to get before it was at full power. He mentioned that the staff would bring out intense rage in anyone who touched it, he called it the Beserker Staff. Coulson thanked the professor and we set off back to the BUS. On the way Coulson told Skye to search the web for any mention of the staff and where the couple were going for the next piece.
About an hour later on the BUS we came to see how Skye was getting on. "People suck!" was her first sentence. "That's your progress people suck?" I asked as Ward looked on. "NO" she snapped. "I think we should check out an old church here in Seville it might hold the next piece, from what I gather from the tweets of these weirdos" she said.
I was really getting annoyed with her attitude. Coulson agreed she was right about the church and we set off to check it out. When we arrived Coulson decided Ward and Skye were going in. I was about to protest not wanting my daughter to be put at risk, I didn't know what these people would do to someone in there way. Nevertheless she insisted on going in and I couldn't stop her. Once they were gone a while Coulson radioed them. "Ward how are you getting on?" he asked "Nothing yet Sir" was his response. "What about you Skye?" he asked next. "Well I'm really happy my super caring S.O decided to take the creepy corridor as apposed to the slightly less creepier dungeon" Coulson smirked and replied "Have you found anything?" it was silent for a minute "nope I've got noting" she finally answered.
Fitz finally got a reading on his machine, thanfully it was in front of Ward and not Skye. Ward informed us he had visual and took of after the person Fitz had detected. "I ran into some unexpected company AHH" was what he said next. "Something happened him" Fitz said. "Skye can you get to him?" I heard Coulson ask. I panicked he was sending Skye after someone who had from what we heard take down Ward. I was about to get out of the car and run to help her but Coulson stopped me. "WAIT" he said. "WARD, WARD ARE YOU OK?" was the next thing we heard from Skye.
We could hear Ward waking up and sounding panicked. "Something's wrong with Ward the staffs gone someone took it" she told us. "It couldn't have just disappeared it has to turn up somewhere" Coulson said. Just at that a car flew from one of the nearby streets. "There we go!" he said. He took off in the direction of the car. I decided to wait for Skye and Ward to come out of the church. As they walked to the car I could see there was something wrong with Ward he looked pissed off. The pair of them got into the car and didn't say a word. I decided to wait till we got back to the BUS before I asked what had happened.
On the way we went after Coulson and were shocked to see the professor was the one who was the church. Coulson hauled him into the BUS for questioning and asked me to watch. I was reluctant to leave Skye with Ward whatever happened had left him pissed and he looked dangerous. However Coulson reassured me they would be fine in Simmons care.
As I watched the interview the professor gave some crap story about wanting to study it and not use the powers. I didn't buy it and neither did Coulson. After that he told Coulson he wasn't involved in the groups agenda. Coulson got fed up and left the room at that.
I decided to go and see how the others had got on with Ward. As I walked down the stairs I saw Ward attacking a punch bag. I tried to stop him but he took a swing at me. I dodged the shot and asked him if he was ok. "I'm working it out" he replied. I told him to let me help but he refused clearly I was in everyones bad books today. I decided to leave him to in and walked off.
When I found Fizsimmons and Skye a short while later they were glued to a screen. They were watching Ward and Coulson interrogate the professor who Coulson had just discovered was Asgardian. Skye was fascinated and as I waked in on my tablet I heard her say "he has lived through all the scary things even disco" I smirked at this I loved her little one liners. Upon seeing me she looked up and asked, "what are you doing?" I was shocked she spoke but replied "sealing the interrogation room doors"
She looked horrified but soon discovered Coulson had instructed it. Before long the professor had talked and we where on route to Ireland. Apparently he had left the final piece of the staff there. As we touched down in Ireland I was starting to get really pissed off with this mission. He could have been upfront at the start and saved us all the trouble. All I really wanted was to try and get Skye to stop looking for her father.
Once we reached the monastery the professor walked up towards the alter where he showed us his story wrote in one of their books. As he told his story he mentioned that the monks say him as a kind of saint. I tried not to laugh at this, however Ward voiced what I was thinking "they were idiots, where is the staff?" he asked. The professor wasn't pleased but said "upstairs."
Once upstairs Skye said "its really quiet" the professor smiled and replied, "they take a vow of silence that's why I trusted them." As he unlocked a box, the man who had two of the staff pieces came out of the door behind the box. "But once you get them talking ohh we learnt so much!" after that he threw a piece of the staff. It hit the professor and went through his chest.
As we all stood in shock the mad man came out of the room. He was about to attack us so Ward pulled the piece of the staff from the professor and launched himself and the mad man. They went over the balcony and landed with a bang on the floor. After that a fight broke out between the two. Skye who was looking doing at Ward yelled "WE NEED TO HELP HIM!" she took off in a run downstairs before I could grab her.
I didn't even hesitate I bolted after her. What the hell was she thinking was all I could think about. As I approached the bottom of the stairs I heard Skye say "Grant drop the staff" he was so angry he yelled "GET AWAY FROM ME!" of course Skye being Skye got closer! I could feel my heart beating faster and faster. I knew Ward wouldn't intentionally hurt her, but right now he wasn't himself.
I edged my way quietly up to Skye so I was almost directly behind her. However she kept getting closer. Just as I was about to pull her away from him more men burst through the doors. It got a bit hectic after that and she ended up on the other side of the room as Ward was going full out Berserker. I kept trying to get across the room to reach Skye but it was proving impossible.
Thankfully she was freaked out enough and she managed to get over to me. I pulled her out of the way and checked to make sure she wasn't hurt, despite her swatting me out of the way. "MAY I'M FINE LEAVE ME ALONE!" she yelled. Once I was sure she was ok I turned back to Ward. He had taken down all the men. However there was a few more who had appeared from upstairs. I saw Ward reach for the staff again so I ran to stop him. "This time let me help" I whispered to him. After that I picked up the staff and felt the rage go through me. I managed to take them all down in a few swings.
As I put the staff down Skye ran over to me "ARE YOU OK? THAT WAS AWESOME!" she yelled excited. I smirked at her and said, "So we are talking now are we? I'm fine Skye." "Were talking but I still don't forgive you for not telling me about my father. Plus I did mean what I said, whether or not you tell me I will find out" she walked off at that.
After the events of the day Coulson decided we could spend the night having fun. We went to a nearby bar to relax. Skye sat with Fitzsimmons as I carefully watched to see if she was drinking. Every time she ordered she sarcastically would lift the bottle to show me. I couldn't help but laugh. A few hours later Ward approached me and before long we where off to bed together. He was like a comfort blanket and up until then I didn't think there was anything wrong with what we where doing that was until my daughter saw us heading into the same room…
