A source of hope 21
Skye woke up the next more with the happiest mood anyone who knew her had ever seen considering the hacker was not known to be a morning person in the slightest. Skye immediately got changed into her work out clothes and headed to the gym. She got there and literally ran into Steve's chest, she jumped back and signed "SORRY WASNT REALLY PAYING ATTENTION." Steve smiled down to her and replied " It's fine... Never got to ask you. Did you enjoy the date last night?" Skye smirked and Signed " WELL YES I DID BUT ONLY BECAUSE I HAD THE AWESOMEST DATE IN THE WORLD." Steve raised a eye brow and decided to play along "Oh really? tell me do I know this date of yours?" Skye smirked before signing " OH I DONT KNOW... YOU MIGHT AS HE IS ABOUT YOUR HIGHT AND HAS BLONDE HAIR ... HE IS QUITE HANDSOME AND IS COMPLETELY A PERFECT DATE... KNOW ANYONE LIKE THAT?"
Steve took a step closer to her and replied "He sounds like a great guy. I am glad you had fun at our date." she looked at him and he pulled her into a quick gentle hug. "SO WHERES SAM? I WANT TO GO ON A RUN." Steve shrugged "He said something about being out of town for the weekend so it will just be you and me out on runs, I am ready when you are." he replied. They made their way down stairs and started their run, Skye was able to keep a good pace with Steve. The hacker kept herself aware of their surroundings as they ran, they stopped at a near by grocery store to restock on Skye's need for chocolate and fruit for more smoothies since the inside of her throat was still sore. Steve and Skye paid at the register just as six armed men rushed in through the front door.
"Everyone get down on the ground and don't move!" yelled one of them with a semi auto AK- 47 assault rifle, Women screamed but immediately got down on their knees, Steve looked to Skye who hid her phone in her bra as they got down on their knees. Skye quickly signed "WE HAVE TO STOP THEM." Steve frowned but quickly nodded in agreement before staying on the ground unmoving as one of the armed men walked past. " Alright now where is governor Michael Grants daughter? I know she is in here and we are not leaving without her!" exclaimed one of the men near Steve, Skye looked around and spotted a blonde young women in her early twenties tense up and attempt to shrink inside herself . The hackers eyes widen and she immediately realized that this women was the governors daughter.
Steve watched Skye's line of site before it clicked in his mind, both Steve and Skye locked eyes and silently read each other's thoughts. Skye motioned over to the young lady with her eyes before she signed "COVER HER." Steve's eyes widen ready to retort but didn't have a chance, she jumped up and immediately pulled her gun and shot at the men. Steve rushed over to the governors daughter and said "Don't worry we will protect you just stay behind me!" Skye shot four of the six men before they turned to her and began firing at her, people were screaming and trying to run out of the grocery store in panic. Skye took cover behind the register and motioned for Steve to take the governors daughter and run but he mouthed 'NO' in response. Skye jumped up and concentrated on controlling all the guns in the store, Steve was desperate to help his girlfriend but at the same time he knew he couldn't leave the young woman behind him.
Skye watched as bullets erupted in the room and she tried to keep them from injuring any innocent bystanders, suddenly pain surged through her arm as a bullet plunged into her left arm. She grunted but snapped her head quickly and suddenly the last remaining man cried out in pain as she shot him in the shoulder with his colleges gun. Suddenly police sirens are heard and immediately Skye deactivates her powers and runs at the man clutching his arm and groaning before Skye did a spin kick to his face knocking him out. Police swarmed into the grocery store in swat gear weapons raised, " Put your hands up!" the officer yells seeing Steve and who is now identified as Monica White the governors daughter first. Skye quickly hits the agent requires assistance button before putting her hands up as swat personnel approached her.
"Ms. Monica thank god you are unhurt! What happened here?" says the leader of the swat group, Monica walked up to the leader and replied " These six men were trying to take me... This man and Women protected me." she gestured to Skye and Steve and the officer moved to question them " Who are you two?" Steve raised an eye brow and Skye quickly pulled out her SHIELD badge and took control " we are off duty. We just intervened to saved the governors daughter please keep us out of the reports." Steve states and just then Clint and Tony come into the grocery store dressed in casual clothing. They both instantly spotted us and Tony immediately talked to the nearest officer while Clint got on the phone and about five minutes later both Tony and Clint approached them "Well everything is sorted out... Monica has given Skye her number so they can get together some day. The governor has already informed is that he will be mentioning that Avengers saved his daughter... Let's get out of here." says Tony and Steve puts a arm around Skye who quickly tensed but it went unnoticed by everyone else.
As soon as Skye got into the car beside Steve she finally looked down at her arm that was bleeding but it was concealed well with her black elbow length sleeve, they got to the tower and immediately Skye ran to her room hoping no one would see her arm. Steve and Clint furrowed their eyebrows unsure as to why she was so quick to leave the vehicle, Steve ran after her. Skye pushed her bedroom door open before she clutched her arm and frowned when her hand was red with blood. She went for the first aid kit and then sat on her bed, she tore her sleeve off since rolling it up would cause to much pain. She looked at the wound and frowned blood was still gushing out of it and she could tell that part of the bullet was still lodged in her arm.
Skye concentrated on moving a bowl of water from the bathroom to the bed beside her, it almost made it into her out stretched hand when a knock at the door broke her concentration sending the bowl of water to the ground shattering into a ton of pieces and water splashing around the area. She glared at the door but got up to answer when Steve's voice was heard "Skye?" it was quiet and Steve asked again "Skye are you okay?" Skye opened the door about a foot and peaked out to see her boyfriend, she used her right hand to sign "HI STEVE." Steve observed her strange behavior and said "Skye you did great back there." he gave her a small smile but to his surprise she gave him a fake smile that made him instantly know something was wrong. She signed "THANKS... WELL I HAVE A MESS TO CLEAN UP... SO a BYE." she quickly moved to close the door and that's when he caught site of red on her hand, he instantly put his foot out and stopped the door from closing on him.
Skye immediately looked alarmed when he stopped her from closing the door, she bit her bottom lip as he asked " Skye... Why is there blood on your hand?" her heart stopped as she realized she would have to tell him about her getting shot. She signed "BECAUSE MY ARM IS BLEEDING." her face was casual trying to get him to stop being so concerned about her, Steve ran a hand through his hair and said " Let me see." Skye frowned and signed "I CAN DO IT STEVE." Steve looked to her desperately and whispered "Skye... Please let me help i don't like when your hurt and I am not doing anything to help." Skye sighed and with a small smile let him enter but as soon as his eyes saw the gun wound she frowned seeing his face of horror. "I AM GOING TO EXTRACT THE BULLET CAN YOU GET A WET TOWEL?" she asked signing and he mutely nodded. It took a lot of pain and concentration but the bullet was removed without further damage, once the bullet was gone she cleaned it and Steve bandaged her upper arm gently, and after a while Skye changed into a different elbow length shirt and acted as nothing had happened. Meanwhile in a building across from Avengers Tower a muscular man looks down at the device in his hand and with a mischievous smile said "Quinn will be very pleased i have that hackers location."
