Chapter 25

Coulson, May, Bobbi and Simmons all sat in Coulson's office. Hunter and Mack were overseeing Lincoln who wasn't leaving Skye's side. "So what do you think?" Coulson asks the gang.

Bobbi looks Simmons way, wanting to see her reaction first. "Well from just my general… human medical knowledge, I don't believe Skye will wake up naturally." Simmons looks around the room. "So if this Lincoln guy has a way to heal Skye, I believe we need to take the opportunity."

Coulson looks in May's direction. "I don't think it's worth it." May explains. A shiver runs down Bobbi's spine. "After all, we have no idea where he'll take her, and most likely will never get her back if we let Skye go with this guy."

"So I go with them." Bobbi offers.

Coulson crosses his arms. "Bobbi? Are you sure about this?"

Bobbi nods, holding her elbows. "I mean what other choice do we have. I won't be able to live it down until I see Skye healed. I mean she's my friend, all of our friends now. She even helped us as Shield, because I asked her…it's not fair what happened so, we need to fix things." Bobbi sighs. "Even if Skye wakes up, we won't know her condition, she could be brain dead or have lost her memory for all we know. The thing is we don't know, even if she'll wake up. So I want to get her better."

Bobbi felt the attention on her. She had voiced her opinion, she had voiced what she thought was right. Bobbi just wanted Skye to be healed, for her to be better. It was her fault she was like this, her fault—if she just hadn't gotten her involved, maybe she wouldn't be hurt—and Hunter might be dead. Was there even a right option? It didn't seem like it.

"Alright, then will tell this Lincoln guy he can make the arrangements to take her."

"No way, what so ever." Lincoln protests.

"Whether you like it or not, Bobbi Morse is coming." Lincoln frowns, at Coulson's comment. "She is Shields representative to make sure Skye makes a full recovery."

Lincoln blows on his lips. "Gordon's not going to like the extra transport, and Jiaying will not like a human—especially from Shield, getting into our facility." Lincoln looks Bobbi down, almost trying to memorize her. "And I don't trust this Mockingbird girl. After all, she was on the team that captured Skye."

"Skye's my friend!" Bobbi shouts. "I just want to make sure you heal her. That she'll be alright."

Lincoln sighs. "Fine whatever, will figure out the rest when we get there." Lincoln licks his lips, almost ready to call someone. "Gordon!" He shouts loudly. "I've found her Gordon; we need to bring her back."

A blue light strangely appears illuminating the room. Bobbi covers her eyes, the light quite blinding. A man with no eyes pops out of the crescent circle. "Lincoln, I hope you know what you're doing." The man with no eyes looks around the room. "There are medical machines here, and apparently one to many faces having witnessed my power."

"Skye's hurt Gordon; you need to bring her back with you." Lincoln looks back at Skye. "I've never see her body so badly affected by her powers."

"Will have to send her to the healers." Gordon confirms.

Lincoln shook his head to the non-eyed man. "No, I think will need Jiayings gift for this." Lincoln looks Bobbi's way. "Will be taking the girl with us."

Bobbi expects a sort of back talk from this no-eyed man Gordon, but he doesn't seem to question it. Lincoln also seems to have changed his heart rather quickly as well. What was up with that?

"Alright I understand, will transport her and the medical equipment to Afterlife immediately."

Coulson hands Bobbi a phone. "I know you have your com Bobbi, but it never hurts to have extra communication." Bobbi nods, taking the cell. "Make sure Skye comes back alright."

"I will sir." Bobbi answers; she gets one last look at Hunter before Gordon makes the blue bubble appear transporting them to another location.

XxXxXxXxXxXxX

When they arrive there, Bobbi's surprised this Gordon guy was able to transport all the medical equipment, along with Skye and her back to this Afterlife place. Bobbi hadn't heard much about it from Skye, but she wasn't expecting this. It was almost a spa like location, overlooking mountains, with the smell of herbs and incense in the air.

Where exactly had they gone?

"I'll go get Jiaying," Gordon offers, making a dash out a circular door. Girls dressed in beige robes came in the room, putting their fingers on Skye. Lincoln was explaining to them some medical terms Bobbi didn't understand, but she could tell they were trying to help Skye.

Acupuncture sticks are added to Skye's body, and Bobbi tilts her head as to understand why. All she really could do was watch. "Bobbi, are you okay." Hunter asks over her com.

"I'm fine Hunter." Bobbi presses her hand to her ear, a few strange looks going her way after she started talking.

"You up and vanished from here, ending up in South-East Asia."

Asia? No way, this guy had just teleported them over thousands of miles in almost a second. How was that even possible? Now that Bobbi thought of it, how was Skye's gift even possible?

Gordon comes back into the room, a woman following behind him. "How is Daisy's condition?" She asks.

Who was Daisy? Bobbi thought.

"She's stable after we added the acupuncture, but many of her bone structures have been broken, and not even the healers can put them in place properly, along with the fractures to her skull." Lincoln explains, but a sudden irritation overtakes him. He hardens his fists. "It's your fault you know, you had the means to find her and you didn't Jiaying!"

The woman Jiaying drags her fingers along Skye's body. "No it's her own fault, these injuries are self-inflicted. Her own carelessness got her here."

"Self-inflicted? Carelessness?" Who was this woman? Why would she say that?

Jiaying looks Bobbi's way. "And you are?"

Bobbi bites her lip. "Skye's friend." She answers.

The woman Jiaying gives her a look that says 'really, you'. Bobbi was still waiting for the moment this woman would heal Skye, but so far she wasn't doing anything. Just standing there, staring Bobbi down. "If you were really my daughter's friend, you'd call her Daisy not Skye."

"Daughter?" Bobbi coughs. This woman was Skye's mom. Judging by her features alone, Bobbi could obviously see the resemblance. But honestly this woman? And again with the Daisy. That must have been Skye's real name.

"Well at least you'll be of some use for after." She comments, before moving back to Skye.

Jiaying put her fingers on Skye's body, her head turning back and her eyes going heavy. Skye watched the life begin to drain out of this Jiaying woman, and in turn flow into Skye. Skye's cheeks got rosy, and the bruises on her arms began to fade significantly. As Jiaying finished, Bobbi could see Skye breathing on her own.

Lincoln removes the oxygen mask, rubbing his hand on Skye's face. "Oh Skye." He has tears coating his eyes.

Bobbi feels the same way. Skye, had they really healed her. "Now." Jiaying says, walking towards Bobbi. Her eyes are dark, and her face once without a blemish, is now covered in wrinkles. Her hair is pasty white, and her ears are dragging as if she were an old woman. But she was an old woman now; it was as if she'd given her life energy to Skye. Bobbi feels her heart drop. "It's time for you to be of use, Daisy's friend."

It only takes a second for Bobbi to feel the pressure of her life being drained.

Here is the new chapter! My part time job is overwhelming me, and my motivation for this story is like…ehhh right now. But that's okay, I like how this chapter turned out and hope you're all looking forward to the next one. Reviews are greatly appreciated, thanks :D
