It had been 7 months since Skye had disappeared, 7 months where they had twisted her reality, 7 months her team had searched before they found her. "We want you to break her. Sever all of the ties that she has…We want the word 'hope' to be out of her vocabulary. If we let her go, she'll stay because she knows there's nowhere to run." Warning: torture/sexual abuse/suicide attempt.

"The two-minute alarm on her cell phone reverberates off of the bathroom walls, pulling her out of her thoughts. She steps towards the counter, reaches out a shaking hand and grabs each of the four thin white plastic sticks, flipping them over one by one. She can feel the tears welling up in her eyes as those two pink lines on each stick mock her."

If you had a chance to make everything right, would you take it? Ward awakes to find out he's been comatose for a month and it's a year in the past.

Will he take this chance to start again?

Ward had learned to not trust anyone during his time in SHIELD. He had been called monster and demon due to what he was, but he couldn't help it.

Could Skye happen to break them away for him?

Set after Ward removes Skye and Raina off the bus... what could possibly happen before Skye meets her father? After last night's episode this will have to be slightly AU and how I think it should have gone... :0

Turns out Skye's not just your run of the mill alien, and all those times people called her special suddenly seem to be the understatement of the year. Now she and the team have to face her past become present before it turns from dangerous to a catastrophe. (Not required, but sequel to "A New Vantage.")

"It's about you giving me a chance." In which Ward blackmails Skye into coming to spend a week with him.
