They spent the next three days hidden out in the corner medical room while S.H.I.E.L.D continued to move around them. They saw and heard very little from any of them. Jemma stopped in a couple of times to check on Steve, who swore every time she came that he was good enough to get up and move, despite the exasperated looks he received from his team mates.

It wasn't until early evening of their sixth day at the Playground that Coulson and May showed. Peggy and the other four were seated around Steve's bed playing a very competitive game of Old Maid when the two of them walked in.

"Having fun?" Coulson asked giving the gathered group a smile.

"Phil! Hey we thought you had turned into a ghost!" Clint exclaimed waving at the them.

"Sorry about that guys. We didn't mean to just abandon you. Thought you could use some rest and we had plenty to deal with."

"What happened?" Peggy asked setting her cards down to give the two her full attention.

"Skye's father decided to try and wreak havoc with a few gifted criminals." May replied. "Had to chase them down."

"We could have helped." Natasha informed her.

"It's okay Natasha." Phil replied. "Like I said, all of you could use a break."

"Appreciate it." Bucky spoke up.

"Of course Sergeant Barnes." Phil gave him a smile and then turned to May. "Melinda this is James Barnes."

"Bucky." He stated, waving his flesh hand. "Pleasure to meet you ma'am."

"You as well." She stated with a clipped nod.

"How's Skye doing?" Peggy asked.

"Unfortunately what she thought was controlling her powers was just putting the vibrations internally. Her arms are covered in hairline fractures." Phil stated sadly.

"The psychologist recommended she leaves S.H.I.E.L.D and active duty." May added.

"What's your opinion on that?" Steve asked, his completely alert eyes studying them both.

"Neither of us just wants her to leave." Phil began. "But it might be best for her."

"Skye is family, we want her protected." May agreed.

"Where were you planning on having her go?" Sam asked. "Is there really any place that's safer then S.H.I.E.L.D? You guys can protect her right?"

"There really isn't much else we can do for her. None of us know how to help her control her powers." Phil sighed heavily. "I was thinking she could be safe at Fury's cabin."

"Alone?" Steve asked with a sad frown. "Phil, I don't think that would help her."

"She wouldn't be completely alone. I would visit her every couple days and she would have a video link to the base." May replied.

Peggy glanced around the team, all of which had a slight frown before replying. "We might have an alternative solution to solitude."

"We've spoken with both Bruce and Thor who agreed that they could help her control and understand what is going on with her." Steve informed them. "Thor said that he can be here as soon as we need him to so he can meet her and figure out exactly what it is she would need."

"We have plenty of room at the tower, and there is even a reinforced floor designed for the Hulk that would be perfect for her." Clint added.

"She would be with friends and support and hopefully actually be able to learn how to control what she does." Sam finished.

"Really, it would be foolish to send her anywhere else." Natasha stated pointedly. "Nowhere else will give her support."

"Of course we would want to speak with her first." Peggy added.

"You've really thought this all out." Phil's voice was surprised.

"Haven't had much else to do." Clint pointed out.

"All of the Avengers have had major things change for them that altered their lives." Steve said. "Between Bruce, Tony, Buck and I we have plenty of people who know what it is like to physically change and Thor has the Asgardian technology and knowledge to help with the alien aspect. Please Phil; at least let us give her the option."

He glanced over at May who nodded once. "Alright Steve. You are all right. The Avengers are the best for her."

Peggy sighed in relief and then stood. "Nat and I would like to talk with her."

Natasha nodded in agreement and followed her to her feet. "She's on the Bus, correct?"

"Yeah she is." Phil glanced at the cards they left behind and then added. "Mind if we step in for you?"

The two women laughed lightly and nodded, switching places with the two S.H.I.E.L.D leaders and making their way to the plane.

Once at Skye's door, Peggy lifted her good arm and gently knocked. Seconds later it opened and the surprised woman's face greeted them.

"Agent Carter, Agent Romanov! Hi! I wasn't expecting you guys."

"Can we come in?" Peggy asked with a smile.

"Yeah of course!" She stepped aside and they followed her in. Peggy surveyed the area and resisted a frown at the prison like feel of the room.

"How are you doing?" Natasha asked her, casually taking a seat.

"Oh you know." She lifted her arms with the black braces. "Totally great minus the obnoxious earthquake powers."

Peggy gave her a smile and sat beside her teammate. "That's actually what we wanted to talk about."

"Oh?" Skye asked, her dark eyes widening fractionally.

"Nothing bad!" Peggy reassured her quickly. "Coulson just told us that the psychiatrist recommended that you leave S.H.I.E.L.D. We wanted to know you opinion on that."

She shrugged and began to fiddle with the edge of her blanket. "S.H.I.E.L.D's the only home I've ever known, but I'm worried that I'll end up hurting someone."

"And that if you do, you'll end up even more on the outside then you are right now?" Natasha asked.

"Yeah exactly. Everything just keeps drastically changing, and because of these stupid powers this will too."

"We don't think you should be shipped off to hide from everything somewhere." Peggy told her.

"We also don't think your powers need to be repressed or stopped." Natasha added. "Powers, abilities, gifts, they aren't some sort of taint. The only reason they end badly is because the person in control of them either doesn't understand how they work, or unnecessarily flaunts them."

"So we want to offer you to come with us back to Avengers Tower so that our teammates can help you learn how to control and use the powers."

"Wait seriously?" Skye asked her expression shocked.

"Absolutely. You won't be a S.H.I.E.L.D agent anymore. Essentially you'll become a full-fledged Avenger as soon as you have control over your abilities. You'll go on missions with us, live with us, be our teammate." Natasha informed her. "We can be a second family for you, if you want it."

"You're actually serious? And your whole team is good with this?"

"They are." Peggy replied. "Steve even called Thor. He wants to meet you as soon as possible."

"This is insane!" She cried her expression now completely incredulous. "You want me to basically become a superhero!"

"If you want to look at it that way yes." Natasha replied with a grin. "Really though, we just want to help you."

"You'll still be connected with S.H.I.E.L.D. We will continue to help them and you'll see them a lot, you'll just also have a new team as well." Peggy assured her and then smiled. "We don't want you to feel alone. What do you think?"

She hesitated for a moment and then grinned. "I think it sounds like a fantastic idea!"

AN: From this chapter its going to get partially AU for Agents of Shield, but somethings that happen in the show will still happen and/or cause reactions to the characters but its mostly going to focus on my altered Avengers team. Thanks for reading and reviewing everyone!
