Skye woke up the next morning and was able to slip out of the room without waking either Clint or Natasha which made Skye feel very proud of herself. She change in the living room of the floor and made her way to the gym. The sun had not yet risen.

When Skye arrived in the gym she made her way over to the window towards the horizon to watch the sunrise before she would begin her Tai Chi. She suddenly was hit with a pang of homesickness as she had spent a few mornings on the bus sitting in silence watching the sunrise with May.

Skye sighed but then felt a couple of other people enter the gym. She wiped away the few tears that escaped as she had thought about the original team and their time on the bus. She looked up to see Natasha and Steve approaching her. She gave them a weak smile.

Steve smiled and says "So you are a morning person?"

"A couple of years ago I would have said no but that was before I got pulled into Shield. Both of the SOs started training at the crack of dawn." Skye said honestly as she looked back at the horizon which was starting to brighten up.

"Why did you have two SOs?" Steve asked curiously. Natasha gave Steve a slight glare knowing that that subject was an emotional maze of landmines.

Skye sighed and says "When Hydra emerged it turns out that my SO on my original team was a Hydra agent. He was and probably still is obsessed with me. He had been spying on the team I was on to collect certain information. He was the second to one of the heads within Shield." Skye stopped to calm down her emotions and to compose herself once more.

Steve opened his mouth to talk but Skye held up a hand. "When my team was able to take down that head of Hydra Fury came to the team leader of my team and told him to rebuild shield. Fury gave him the title of Director and all the information he could need. The member on the original team who was the pilot offered to train me. I accepted." Skye finished so that Steve who know that she had been train somewhat.

Steve looked slightly upset and Skye finally looked up. She bit her lip and then asked "What is wrong?"

Steve seemed to snap out of his thoughts and answered "Fury seems to always have some secrets that he keeps from us."

"You have no idea. There are things I can't even tell you because of Fury's damn orders. I have already talked to Maria about sharing certain things but she has not told me a response yet." Skye said as she got up. She stretched out and asked "What brings you to the gym this early?" She wanted to change the subject before she spilled anything.

"I was about to head out of my morning run when I ran into Natasha in the elevator. I got curious when she said she was looking for you." Steve said honestly.

"Wait half an hour and I might join you." Skye said while smiling.

"Oh you don't want to run with Cap. He will lap you easily and mock you for it." Natasha teased.

"Well then Cap you can join Nat and I for sparring later. Preferably before lunch since Tasha wears me out by then." Skye said happily.

"Ok. I will see you in a couple of hours Skye." He said before getting back on the elevator.

It wasn't until lunch time that Natasha and Steve were done with training Skye for the day. Skye trudged into the common room and collapsed onto the couch. Tony walked over and asked "How was the torture session?"

"Exhausting." Skye mumbled into the pillow she had her face in. She had not moved from the spot yet. Tony smirked and patted her on the back. "Well you are training with superheroes." Tony pointed out.

"I haven't even started on my powers yet either so I will probably be taking naps after lunch to get enough energy to do both till my stamina can keep up." Skye groaned as she turned her head towards Tony.

Pepper walked in and said "Well Bruce should be getting in in the next few days. He can help you with emotional control."

"I also have almost gotten the hulk room suited up to handle your powers as well Skye so that you can shake things to your hearts content." Tony said proudly.

Skye just smiled and shook her head at the comment. She hugged Tony and says "Thanks Tony."

Tony tensed at first not having been used to getting hugs. He smiled and hugged her back. Pepper soon spoke up "come and sit down at the table. We should start lunch."

Everyone nods and went over to the table. The chef brought out the food for them to eat. They all began to eat happily. Skye watched the others as they talked to each other at the table. She had yet to start joining into more of the common conversations. She enjoyed just watching all of her soulmates and the others who joined them at the table.

Once they started eating Tony suddenly asked "Skye want to come help me in the lab? I am working on the prototype computer and might need some help."

Skye smiled brightly and says "I would love too."

It was not long before Skye made her way to Tony's lab and looked around curiously. She made her way over to the tech and began to look at each of them curiously. She didn't notice Tony watching her from the entrance. She began to mess with one of the screens which had coding on it.

Skye didn't notice Tony approach her till he suddenly grabbed her from behind. Skye instinctively lifted her hand and blasted Tony back away from her. Tony let out a yelp in surprise as he crashed into a table nearby. "Oh god. Are you ok Tony?" Skye said as she rushed over to check on him.

Tony looked at her and says "Remind me never to surprise you again."

"Well I should have been aware of my surroundings. My SO would kill me if she knew that I was not paying attention to my surroundings." Skye said while helping Tony up.

Soon Skye ended up sitting with her laptop coding while Tony was tinkering away with the actual laptop. Every few seconds she would look up at Tony to watch how he worked. She smiled and hummed along to the music which he had playing as they worked.

They continued to work till Steve and Pepper came in to get them for dinner. Skye was the first one to notice them walk into the lab. She smiled and saved her program before closing her laptop. She got up and walked over to them. Tony still had not noticed her movement or the pair that walked in.

"We should start calling Tony captain oblivious." Skye joked as she approached Steve and Pepper. Both Pepper and Steve smiled at her statement. "Well I better wake him up from his tech haze." Skye said before walking over and putting her computer down on the table nearby. She walked up behind him and flicked his ear.

Tony flinched and turned while saying "what was that for?"

"Pepper and Steve are here. I think they are going to try and get us to leave the lab for a bit." Skye said before walking back over to Steve and Pepper.

Tony pouted while rubbing his ear. He walked behind her and stood behind her when they stopped. He put his head on her shoulder as they looked at Pepper and Steve. Steve sighed and says "You two are so alike it some aspects that it is a little scary."

"Well when your mind is set on a project it is easy to lose track of time." Skye said while smiling.

Pepper and Steve just rolled the eyes at the statement. "Now what brings you two here?" Tony asked curiously.

"It is time for dinner Tony." Pepper said honestly.

"Really is it already that late?" Tony said while looking at his watch.

"Yes Tony. It is after 6." Steve said. He smiled at Skye.

Skye's stomach growled. She looked at them with a slight blush and says "why are we still talking lets go get some food." She grabbed both Tony's and Steve's hand. She to try to pull them along with her. They went along with it. Tony made it look like he was not enjoying it while Steve was smiling as he walked along. Pepper followed along smiling at the sight.

After dinner they were all sitting in the common room once more. Skye was sitting between Natasha and Steve once more. Skye was leaning against Steve while Natasha was leaning against Clint and had her feet in Skye's lap. Steve looked up and says "Jarvis when is Bruce and Thor going to get here?"

"Bruce will be arriving around lunchtime tomorrow. Thor has not affirmed a date yet." Jarvis answered.

Skye looked up and says "Tony I would love to look at Jarvis's code."

"Maybe tomorrow." Tony said trying to wave off the request.

Skye looked at him in the eyes and says "I am going to hold you to that or I might just hack in to see it for myself." Tony sighed dramatically at her answer. Natasha and Clint smirked at the interaction.

"Skye would you like to join me in the morning for my daily run?" Steve asked curiously.

"I would love too. But you can't taunt me or speed ahead of me." Skye said as she smiled brightly at him. She was so surprised that she felt this content at the tower. She knew it was too soon to for her to say that this place was home but she hoped that she could call this place her home one day. Steve just nodded. Everyone was quiet since they were all lost in thought.

"I know what we need to do!" Tony said ecstatically.

Natasha sighed and asked "What is it this time?"

"I am going to throw a party to celebrate finding Skye." Tony said as he got up.

"No." Skye said firmly.

"But…" Tony started but Skye cut him off.

"If you were to throw a party then without a doubt a picture of me would get released to the public. There are people who I would rather not have know my location at the moment. A party is out of the question." Skye said seriously. She had sat up and was staring straight at him to make sure that he didn't just shrug her off.

"Whatever you say tremors but later on we will have a party." Tony said seriously. "I am heading back to lab want to join me Skye?" Tony asked curiously.

"No. I think I might just head to be early. I need to get up early to go running with Cap over here." Skye said relaxing against the back of the couch. She smiled and closed her eyes. She was glad that her powers had not lashed out recently. It helped her relax slightly. She was soon fast asleep surrounded by some of her soulmates.

Steve looked at Skye's sleeping form and says quietly "it seems like she has been through so much through so little of a time. I also get the feeling that she is hiding something from us."

Natasha looked down at Skye and smiled slightly seeing that she was fast asleep. She then looked up at Steve and sighed. "It is not a good idea to push her for information. She is barely holding herself together. If you start to question her, you will only push her away." Natasha said while looking Steve dead in the eyes.

Clint added "She was an orphan. She will have a hard time opening up."

Steve just sighed and nods. "Hopefully she will open up soon. It seems that Hill and Fury knows one of the major secrets. She seemed frustrated that she could not tell it to me this morning." Steve said calmly.

Clint nods and got up. "I am going to take her down to Nat and my floor. She needs to sleep in a proper bed." He said as he gently picked up Skye.

Natasha got up once Clint moved away slightly. She looked at Steve and says "Good night."

"Good night." Steve said back as he watched them get into the elevator.
