Chapter 12
Skye's Point of View
It was the next afternoon before I saw May again. After seeing her and Ward head to bed together I wished it had been longer. We were on the BUS waiting for a new mission. "Morning" she said to me as she walked over to stand beside me. I looked at her opened mouthed. "What?" she asked. I quickly shut my mouth and muttered "morning." She looked at me with a weird expression before saying "are you ever happy in the morning? You know just of curiosity can we expect a lot more of your grumpiness?" I rolled my eyes and said "you are one to talk, you are never happy!"
Coulson stopped our little argument there. "Ladies can we get back to the mission at hand please?" May and myself nodded with May getting in a few brownie points by adding "sorry Sir." I rolled my eyes again and said "Yeah go on AC!" He looked at us both in turn and replied "Thank you." He then went on to discuss the mission. Apparently we were going after a woman called Hannah who S.H.I.E.L.D suspected to have telekinetic powers. This earned my full attention. "I'm sorry did you just say powers?" I asked. Coulson smiled and said, "Yes suspected powers, it is not confirmed that is where we come in." I grinned and replied "AWESOME!"
I got even more excited when he informed me that I would be going with them to see how a 'welcome wagon' is handled for people with suspected powers. As we left the BUS my excitement grew and I couldn't wait to see what would happen. We pulled up to where I assumed to be the woman's house. As we entered her driveway I could see a crowd gathering outside her home. All I could think about was how scared she must be. As we approached her door Coulson knocked. A few minutes later a surprisingly young woman greeted us. She was tall and had long blonde hair.
"Hello" Coulson said. She looked at us terrified. "We are here to help, we need you to come with us" Hannah was hesitant at first but slowly walked out the door. "I didn't mean to hurt anyone," she pleaded. "We know you didn't" May said, "That's why we are here to try and help you control whatever is happening."
However as we go outside the crowd grew angrier and started shouting abuse at the poor girl. She became distressed and started to panic. Before I knew it Coulson had pulled me out of the way and told me to stay behind a car. I tried my best to obey his rules but I wanted to see. The girls powers became more clear and a frenzy broke out amongst the crowd. Things started flying everywhere as did people. As I peaked out from behind the car I was hit by a piece of metal. It made a fairly big scratch on my forehead. "SHIT!" I yelled. May looked over at me concerned to see why I was cursing. "I'm fine relax" I told her.
Next thing I knew May had pulled out the night night gun and had shot the woman before she could cause more damage. I was horrified surly there was a better way to handle the situation I thought. Ward went to retrieve the unconscious Hannah as Coulson called me. "Skye you can come out now" he said. I slowly made my way over to them, I was beginning to feel dizzy. As I walked over to Coulson he had to put his arm around me to steady me. "Do you ever listen to me? I told you to stay down and you couldn't even do that!" he tried to joke. "Sorry" I muttered trying to stay awake. May must have noticed I wasn't ok as she ran over to me "Skye what's wrong are you ok?" she asked. As I tried to stay conscious all I could hear was Coulson saying "Hey stay awake Skye" every time I heard that I tried my best to wake up.
I clearly failed because the next thing I remembered was waking up in the lab, with May staring at me. "Hey" she said as I pulled myself into a sitting position. "How long was I out?" I asked her. "Only about 2 hours. How are you feeling?" I looked at her I could see real concern on her face. "I'm fine it's just a scratch I have had worse." I told her. Jemma walked in at that and said "Ohh good your awake. Still feeling dizzy? Headache? Anything out of the ordinary?" she questioned me. "Slight headache but other than that I'm good" I replied. She smiled and looked at May "see I told you your daughter wasn't brain damaged!" she then turned to me "May thought I was going to give you brain damage as I was doing your stiches!"
I laughed and reassured May I was fine and that Simmons had done a good job. She smiled and said, "Thank god your ok. Next time listen to Coulson Skye that could have been a lot worse you were lucky!" I smiled and said "I promise next time I will." She looked relieved before telling us she needed to help Coulson. As she walked off I uncrossed my fingers there was no way I would listen next time, there are some things too cool to miss!
As I sat in the lab and watch Fitzsimmon I have no idea what they are doing. They are rushing about and looking at something they had up on the screen. As I reach over to touch it Fitz slapped my hand away. "NO you do not touch that!" he scolded. "You need at least 3 years training," he told me. "Ok sorry I didn't go to you stupid S.H.I.E.L.D Hogwarts or whatever!" I said as I walked away from the table not wanting to get told off again.
I turned on the TV screen to see what was happening in the interrogation room. Coulson and May were in there with Hannah. I felt sorry for her she still looked like a nervous wreck. Fitzsimmons came to join me they were checking Hannah's brain waves to see if there was any sign of powers. "Everything is normal here all I can tell from these brain waves is that she is upset" Simmons said out loud. I turned to face her "well of course she is upset May is in there, the woman who shot her!" I replied.
"Sedated her" Simmons said. "Things got out of hand and May sorted it. So cut May some slack Skye she is your mom and the Calvary" Fitz added. I glared at him "where does that name come from anyway?" I asked not wanting to have the 'Mays your mother' conversation. "YOU DON'T KNOW?" they both said shocked. I shook my head. Fitz started the story "imagine a heavily secured compound. Surrounded my enemies who have take S.H.I.E.L.D agents hostage. They were tortured for information. May's mission was to eliminate the threat." I looked at him "you mean kill people?" I asked. "Not just people, entire squads," Simmons added.
"She rode in on a horse and took down more than 100 men, hence the name The Cavalry" Fitz whispered the last line. "Is this real?" I asked. The looked at men and said, "she eliminated the enemy threat single handedly." They finished the story. I was in shock their story was hard to believe but neither of them were any good at lying so I assumed they were telling me the truth. I left them in the lab to go and talk to Coulson.
When I found him he was in his office but May was there. They were discussing Hannah and a tragedy in her life. I asked them to let me go in and talk to her but I wasn't allowed. Coulson said it was too dangerous. "She's not dangerous, she is overly nice she never misses a birthday she even runs a youth program at church!" I said. They did look confinced so I continued. "Someone that nice is going to find it extremely hard to believe they are responsible for so much death. That's why she thinks god is punishing her!" I said.
"People believe what they need to believe Skye to justify their actions." May answered. "Is that how you justify your shot first policy?" I retorted. May looked shocked I ignored her and turned to Coulson "at least let me try and repair that damage" I said to him. May spoke again "until we figure out what is going on with her she stays locked up and you stay away from her Skye do you hear me? Last thing I want is you getting into more danger and ended up with more that a scratch to the head!" she said in her motherly tone. I was really getting sick of that, and it was appearing more frequent. All I could think was "wait until you know I know you slept with my S.O."
Just in that moment one of Coulson's collectables fell off his display. I jumped at little from the noise. "I thought that was glued down" Coulson said as he bent down to retrieve it. As he came back up her looked at me and said "your asking the right questions Skye but for now that's all you get to do." I rolled my eyes and left the room without a word. I was incredibly annoyed with them both. I went to sit in the kitchen to do more research on Hannah. As I searched through all the information I came across a man called Tobias Ford. From what I could tell he had it in for Hannah.
As I sit and read about Tobias the plane plunges into darkness. I get up to go and find the others afraid something serious had happened. I rounded to corner where I bumped into Ward. "What's going on?" I asked him. "WERE GOING DOWN!" he yelled pulling me towards to cockpit. As we reach the door we meet May on her way in. Both her and Ward started talking really fast about things that were going wrong. I was lost in their speech but knew it was bad. "What can I do?" I asked feeling helpless. May only seemed to notice me then "buckle up" she replied.
Within in minutes we hit the ground with a bang. As the BUS skidded to a halt I felt sick. May and Ward shared a look with each other which made me feel worse. The image of the sleeping together kept popping up! I shuttered at the thought which seemed to get May's attentions "What's wrong?" she said facing me. "Nothing" I replied annoyed, she always thought there was something wrong with me!
Once we had stopped we went to find the others. We found Coulson and Simmons first but there was no sign of Fitz. "Did the girl do this?" Ward asked. "No our theories about her powers have been proved wrong" he said. "I saw a ghost" Simmons blurted out. I sniggered "a ghost?" I asked. "Yes a man attacked me and then he disappeared!" she explained. "Did you get a good look at him?" May asked. "HE DISAPPEARED!" she yelled.
I begged Coulson to let me talk to Hannah and explain what was going on. Much to my surprise he agreed. I smiled and thanked him before running off to the interrogation room. Once outside the door I started to tell Hannah what was happening she seemed relived that she didn't have powers but was still convinced god was punishing her. I decided to tell her about the nuns I knew growing up and what they would tell me. I was unaware May was listening from the corner.
I had just finished my story when she came around the corner. "I will stand guard now. Coulson needs you upstairs" May said. "I would rather stay here" I replied. "Coulson needs you upstairs Skye that is an order not a request. Why do you have such problems with authority?" she questioned me. I had enough of her treating me like a kid "maybe because growing up I never had anyone to discipline me. I was on my own and had to follow the rules that suited me. Nobody gave a shit about me! And I wonder whose fault that was?" I replied back.
May looked at me and said, "you know I tried to find you Skye I wasn't there when you were taken. I haven't stopped looking for you since that day!" I laughed sarcastically and replied, "Well you didn't look hard enough then did you. Had you been their maybe I wouldn't have been taken you know with the famous Calvary protecting me!" She looked furious and hissed "don't call me that Skye" I got up off the ground to go help Coulson. "Whatever May I'm done, just don't hurt her anymore than you already have. Ohh and by the way I know you are screwing Ward" I walked away at that.
I found Coulson in his office. "May said you need help" he nodded and said "we need to get the power back" I looked at him and replied "you know how to do that why did you need me. I should be with Hannah its no wonder she keeps screaming you keep sending in the Calvary to look after her." Coulson looked at me I could tell her was mad "don't call her that Skye" It was then that he told me the real story behind the name. He explained how things changed story wise over they years. The truth was the real story was equally as heroic in my eyes, but I could see why she hated the name.
When I asked Coulson if she had lost anyone he replied "herself Skye she lost herself. That was also the day she found out you were missing. Taken from her as she pulled off her most memorable mission." I felt tears in my eyes. I had been such a bitch to May and all she wanted to do was make up for lost time. "Having you back has let me see parts of May that have been missing for 19 years. It's good to see the old May return and it's all because she has you back Skye." He smiled at me. I felt an overwhelming need to find May and hug her. I needed to apologize.
I was unable to get the power back on from Coulson's office so we left to try somewhere else. As we left the room the ghost met us. He appeared in front of us. Before we could speak he was behind me, he had some sort of tool to my throat and was screaming "LET HER OUT!" Coulson refused to do so and he vanished. "That was easy" I chocked. "I don't think he can control when he appears" Coulson replied. As we raced to get to the others and return power we met them on the lower decks. "Where is May?" I asked.
Coulson looked shocked and raced to Hannah's room. When we reached it, it was empty. "May has gone with Hannah" he informed us. "WHAT WERE?" I yelled. "I don't know but I will find her. Skye you stay here and restore the power and don't worry May will be find. She must have a plan" he took off at that. I couldn't help but worry but nevertheless trusted AC and went to restore power.
By the time I had it up and running again they had returned. "Hey what happened?" I asked the minute Coulson was back onboard. "May fixed it. Hannah is safe" I smiled May had done it. "Is she ok?" I asked him. He looked at me and said "Skye you can see the good in everyone. You saw it in Hannah and you figured out Tobias. You will make a great agent one day. However right now you need to talk to your mom. She needs you and you need her even if you think you don't." I knew he was right so went to find May.
I found her in the cockpit as usual. "May?" I asked as I walked in. "I'm here" she whispered. "May I'm so sorry for what I said earlier. I was totally out of line and I know what happened now so I will never call you that name again. I also know it wasn't your fault I was taken. As for Ward I don't care who you sleep with as long as your happy!" I explained to her. She didn't say a word instead she got up and much to my surprise she pulled me into a hug. "It's ok we have a lot of time to catch up on. I'm sorry you feel like I'm being overprotective I cant help it. As for Ward I don't know how to explain that to you Skye" I pulled her into a tighter hug and said "you don't have to its none of my business. Can I sit with you tonight?"
She nodded and released me from the hug. As I sat down beside her she started to explain the basics of flying. Before long we were in the air and I was dozing off. I felt her gently put a blanket over me as I fell asleep. I really felt like we had made progress on our mother daughter relationship.
Hope you enjoyed chapter 12. Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes I tried to write it as fast as possible :-( And is Skye really ok with the Ward/May situation? Hope you enjoyed. Until Next time ;-)
