Chapter 14

Skye woke up in the morning feeling a lot better—though terribly hungry and still pretty weak. But it felt nice to wake up in the same bed she fell asleep in the night before. On the counter Savanah had left Skye what looked like a granola bar and a bottle of water. Skye ate the bar and drank the water much faster than she should of. "Savanah!" Skye calls, but the girl doesn't answer. Skye finds a note on the table.

Your team's coming, my teammate let me know that their on their way. I'll most likely see you again soon. The answers you are looking for about yourself are found off the coast of Washington State, a man named Pablo lives there who might be able to answer your questions. Good luck!

- Savanah

The note was brief and a bit confusing, but now that Skye knew her team was on the way she instantly felt better. Now that it was light out Skye could make out the interior of the place she was in. The room was mostly old and creepy looking, with spider webs on the celling. The mattress Skye slept on left a dent in her neck, but other than that the conditions were fine. Better than being in Ward or Raina's hands.

Looking around the place for a bathroom, Skye finds one with some clothes and a towel laid out for her. Taking a rather cold shower, Skye still feels the germs wash away from her body. After getting dressed, Skye knew her best option was to look for an internet café of some sort to contact the team. Hopefully Ward wasn't to close, or Skye might have a whole new set of problems.

Coulson and May arrive at the location where the last spotting of Ward had been. "Triplett, Simmons." May calls over the com. "If you spot either one of them, let us know right away."

"Were on it sir!" Triplett says over the com.

"Do you really think will find her?" May asks Coulson.

"Skye's smart May, I'm sure she's safe and out of Ward's reach." May nods, still not completely sure on everything. May hadn't seen Coulson draw on the walls for the last few days, May guessed the reason was because he hadn't slept the last two nights, but the thought of Coulson going crazy was freaking May out. She was scared of what might become of Coulson in the future, when things began to return to normal. But May knew normal seemed way to far from here. "Up there." Coulson points." If Ward's trying to get away he'll need a fake passport."

"So he'll come here?"

"Mr. Yao runs parts of the black market here in this area of China. To get out quickly he'd come here."

"I thought we were looking for Skye?" May recalls. Coulson looks at May with an irritated expression.

"We are, but right now this is our only lead." Coulson bites his lip. "I'm sorry." He says after a few short seconds. "It's just—"

"You're worried, we all are." May touches Coulson's back, and Coulson takes hold of May's hand for reassurance. Her grip tightens when she spots a figure walking out of the shop they were staking. Coming from behind May doesn't even attempt to conceal her presence in front of Ward. Ward spots her, and takes out in an instant run.

May chases after him while Coulson readies the ICER. Taking a short cut May explains over the com where Ward is headed. "Going your way." She repeats to Coulson.

"On it." Coulson stands behind the corner, ready to intercept Ward. Ward rounds the corner, looking behind himself to see if he got away. Coulson shoots the ICER at him, knocking him unconscious. May follows up from behind, looking at the unconscious body. "Looks like we caught the rat."

"It was too easy" May remarks. "I think he wanted to get caught, he doesn't even seem to be carrying fake ID." May searches his pockets.

"Will figure out why after interrogating him on the plane." Coulson turns on his com to check with the rest of his team. "Simmons, Triplett?"

"We found her sir? Well Fitz did from back at the bus." Simmons details over. "She's at an internet café a block away from here, were heading there now." Coulson felt this huge weight be lifted off his chest. They had found her, they had found her.

Skye enters the café which she found a few blocks away from the abandon building she stayed in last night. People look at her oddly, but she doesn't stand that out of place. Finding a computer near the wall Skye begins hacking her way on the system to change the language from Chinese to English. About to send the cry for help message she felt a man tap her on the shoulder. "Excuse me?" He asks in English, Skye looks at the man. He didn't look Chinese, and he definitely sounded English. "I work for someone who very much wants to meet you." Skye tenses up. "Oh don't worry, I'm not going to try and hurt you or take you by force."

"Who are you?" Skye asks.

"My names Dragon." Skye raises an eyebrow.

"Dragon, like the fire breathing kind." Dragon laughs, in a sort of evil joking way.

"Well it's obviously not my real name; I discarded that a long time ago. Just like you Skye." Skye bites her lip. "But I can help give it back. Your father can help give it back." Skye's jaw drops and her eyes go wide open.

"My fa-a-ther." Skye was in complete shock. She had a father who was alive? But why now? Why was this man approaching her now?

"I work for your father, and he very much wants to meet you Skye. He would have contacted you sooner but he thought you were dead." Dragon lies easily to Skye, who is so blinded by the thought of a real father that she doesn't see through any of this.

"Ward said something to me last night. He told me that my parents were monsters, who destroyed a Chinese village. Is this true?" Dragon bites his tongue, irritated he has to come up with an excuse to cover Ward's mistake.

"It may sound bad, but that village wasn't what it seems. You need to know the full story to understand everything your parents did to try and save you." Dragon thinks this sounds convincing enough. "Skye you should come with me, and meet the man who thought you were dead for so many long years." Skye looks at the computer screen. This was her chance, to call the team and go back to being with her family. Or she could go with this man, and meet her actual blood related family. Skye really wanted to go with the latter. But Coulson, Simmons, everyone; they must have been so worried.

"I don't know." Skye mumbles. "I want to meet my father; I've wanted to meet my birth parents for so long. It's just my friends, my team I need to go back to them." Dragon didn't like where this situation was going, but he had already prepared for mostly every scenario.

"I understand, but I know you'll eventually want to meet him." Dragon takes out a napkin off a table making it seem random, but he had already prepared the napkin with a tracking device. Dragon takes a pen out of his pocket, writing down a phone number for Skye to call. Dragon hands over the napkin. The amount of technology in that thing could probably fly a man to the moon. "Call me when you're ready." Dragon says. "And my client, your father would prefer to keep things private. He's different from the rest of us."

Dragon begins making his way out of the internet café. He had to be patient and abide his time. He couldn't rush this, kidnapping Skye now would be a mistake. This was an art he needed to play at it. If Skye came of her own free will it'd make everything so much more easy.

Skye looks at the number Dragon had given her. Skye was an 0-8-4, did that mean her father was to? Or did her father actually know what she was. Skye wanted to run after Dragon, but she knew it wasn't the time. After she got back on the plane she'd call him. Skye turns back to the computer screen to send an email out to her team. Skye hears her name being shouted across the room as soon as she turns.

"Skye!" The scientist shouts in so much relief she could have fainted. Skye turns back to look at the front door to the internet café.

"Simmons." Skye mumbles, finding hard to believe she was right there. Getting out of the chair Skye rushes over and hugs Simmons. Triplett comes in from behind, after the water works begin from each girl.

"Hey girl looks like you survived your first kidnapping." Skye smiles at Triplett's joke attempt to ease the situation.

"To bad I don't think it's my first." Skye jokes hugging Triplett. Simmons joins in again and the three hug while Skye lets the tears fall. After the hug Simmons immediately goes for Skye's forehead checking her temperature.

"You're not hurt are you; oh please tell me Ward didn't do anything to you." Skye shakes her head.

"No I'm fine, they didn't hurt me." Simmons didn't trust Skye's answer by how pale her face was looking.

"They?" Triplett wonders.

"It's a long story." Skye laughs, somehow still completely exhausted. Simmons hugs Skye again.

"I'm so happy your safe, Fitz and I were so worried." Simmons lets go of Skye. "Oh and great news, Fitz has begun regaining his memory." Skye smiles.

"Oh my gosh Simmons that's such great news."

"I hate to ruin the reunion, but I think we should get out of here and back to the bus." Skye nods not wanting anything more then to go home. She only had been gone for about three days, but she really did want to come back home to the bus. Because that was where her real home is.

The end!

Just kidding, hope I didn't scare anyone. Anyway next chapter will have Ward's interrogation, and will learn a secret about Triplett! Skye also thinks Dragon's a good (well not good, but not exactly evil) guy, since she doesn't know her father was behind the kidnapping the first time. Anyway REVIEW!

Oh and also tell me which pairing you want more of, because I can actually work with all three pairings right now of Philinda, FitzSimmons and Skyeward, so which do you want more of! Tell me in a review!
