Apology time guys, my computer was sent in to be fixed while I was on vacation for a week and they told me that it shouldn't take more than two weeks to fix it. Well three weeks later I get a phone call saying my computer is unfixable and a week after that when they finally give us the gift card to go buy my new one, I'm able to get started again (luckily I have all my stories and stuff backed up on usbs) anyway apology for the wait, thanks for your patience.

Chapter 13

Bobbi stood at Coulson's desk unable to describe more of what happened to them. She let May describe most of the details, going into the depths of the whole thing.

"Bobbi retrieved the unredacted document, but unfortunately Hydra seems to have taken Hunter as a hostage." May slides the document, still folded over to Coulson. Coulson looks very tempted to read the document, right there and then, but he doesn't and continues to listen to May. "I'm not sure the motive, but I'm guessing that with their aim being the same, they'll be coming after Skye no matter what."

Bobbi digs her nails into her hand, she wished she hadn't let this happened, but she had. And now she was faced to make the ultimate choice.

Coulson stares at Bobbi, almost looking like he knew what she was thinking. "No matter what we decide it won't be fair, so I guess will leave the option up to Skye."

"Pardon?" Bobbi interrupts.

Coulson intertwines his fingers. "I know Hunter is your priority Bobbi, but we also have to think of Skye here. She's a person, no matter if she's enhanced or not. So it's not fair to just trade her over, but we also have to think of Hunter." Coulson glances over at Bobbi.

"Bobbi I want you to go tell Skye, how will proceed."

"How are we proceeding?" Bobbi asks.

"It's all up to how you tell Skye." Coulson explains casually, as if what Bobbi was going to do wasn't a big deal. But it was, it was a large deal. He was basically asking her to make the decision.

But by the way Coulson was looking at her, Bobbi could tell that Coulson wasn't trying to be cruel, he just really wanted to accept the decision Bobbi had to make.

Hunter was Bobbi's ex-husband, and now boyfriend again—but Bobbi had also been the one to bring Skye onto the base. So this was her decision and she needed to make it.

Bobbi takes a large breath. "I understand sir." She bites her lip, knowing that this was the option she had to take. "I'll go speak with Skye."

Bobbi walks fast paced out of the office, leaving May and Coulson with the document. May gives her normal glare expression to Coulson, and Coulson just sighs opening up the document. "I presume you've already read it." He closes it again, unable to get past the first few words. "Mind giving me the short version."

May lifts her shoulders a bit before beginning. "It's exactly what you thought Phil."

Coulson knows it's serious when May uses his first name. Coulson opens the document again and takes a deep breath as he goes over the words.

Coulson spots his name, and he knows that things have taken a turn for what he hadn't been expecting. He leans back, and shook his head. "I never thought, that I…that I'd see her again May." Coulson has to keep it together a bit. "I mean I knew she had a family, and I knew she had to be returned to it, but I had no idea if that's what happened."

"But she found her family." May finishes. Coulson closes the folder. "The girl Skye, she has no idea what you did for her, how you were the one who stopped Shield from what they were doing."

Coulson just shakes his head. "And she doesn't need to know." Coulson says firmly.

"Phil, are you really just going to let Bobbi trade her. I mean this girl; you raised her for a part of your life!" May interjects.

"Bobbi won't trade her." Coulson corrects. "I trust Bobbi, and I trust her decision."

May wasn't so sure, but she keeps quiet. Because if there was one thing Melinda May was good at, it was keeping quiet.

Bobbi stands at the stop of the stairs, watching Skye read a book with her head at the opposite end of the bed. She hadn't noticed her yet, but even from the distance Bobbi noticed the bruising on her arms.

Bobbi walks down the steps, and Skye throws her book down on the floor. "Hey." She says which is such a turn from when Bobbi and her had first met. She had a smile on her face, but Bobbi could see the marks under her eyes. "So you ready to let me out of this place and into the wild."

Bobbi's stomach drops long and far away. Bobbi remembers what she'd told Skye the other day. That she'd let Skye go, no matter what Coulson said. Now Bobbi felt even more guilty for what she'd have to tell Skye.

Skye sees how unhappy Bobbi looks. "What?" Skye asks, already knowing the inevitable answer.

"Skye I…"

Skye's smiles drops. Bobbi remembered how Skye hadn't even been smiling the time, she'd told her she'd let her out in two days. Responding with a 'If that's what you think'.

"No it's fine." Skye answers. "I knew in the end anyway, you'd never let me go. It's fine, I forgot this was Shield."

"No!" Bobbi defends. "Shield would have let you go, it's just me who's keeping you captive here, it's my fault." Bobbi explains with a sorrow filled expression.

"I don't understand."

Bobbi pulls out the note from her pocket and shows it to Skye over the screen. Skye reads it over.

Bring the enhanced girl Skye, along with the document, in exchange for the Agent

-Hydra

Skye frowns.

"The agent…?"

"Hunter, Lance Hunter. He's the man I love. He helped me get you away from Whitehall." Bobbi kicks the floor, dropping the note. "I'm sorry." Bobbi mumbles.

Skye laughs, a long laugh.

"What it's not like you love me, so it's fine if you hand me over. It's no big deal. I mean what am I anyway? If you kept me any longer I'd probably destroy something." Bobbi hears the crack in Skye's voice.

Bobbi squeezes her fists, feeling a bit of the pain Skye was feeling. She loved Hunter, but what she was about to do, what she was going to do wasn't fair not to Skye or anyone. But what choice did she have?

So Bobbi handing Skye over you think it's the fair decision, or really should Skye just bust her way out of there and make a run for it?Also what do you think happened in the past between Skye and Coulson. Happy to be updating again :D
