Epilogue
Seven Months Later
Somewhere in the Chinese country side Skye is speeding along a dirt road on a motorbike, with her bow and quiver on her back. She is wearing her mission outfit which is Black pants and boots with a jacket the same as the one she brought when Coulson was kidnapped by Rania and Poe, except the sleeves and belt along with her boots, are the same blue as her power and the strip on her bow. The entire outfit being a gift from her Uncle Tony when she started doing more field work, which means the whole thing is resistant to most things and bullet proof to a degree even though it's not heavier than normal clothes and still allows the same range of movement.
As she passes a sign she puts a hand to the side of her helmet to activate her coms, "This is Electro-Girl to base. I am five minutes away from target, three away from going dark." Skye says, the name her Uncle gave her having been officially adopted as her mission name when she reached twenty five again two months ago.
"Roger, Electro Girl." Fury's voice responds, "This is your last chance to back out, are you sure you want to go through with this?" He asks.
"Of course." Skye responds, "I've come too far to turn back now, you know that and you know there is no chance that I would." She tells him.
"Of course." Fury responds, "I didn't expect anything else, you are your parents daughter after all." Fury comments.
"That I am." Skye responds proudly, "Speaking of my parents, where do they think I am?" Skye asks interested.
"With your Aunt Maria, increasing the security on the systems on the Helicarrier." Fury answers, "I thought that was better thing to tell them than the truth." Fury responds.
"Good choice." Skye responds with a small laugh, "Even though I planned this op myself and volunteered for it they're going to be pissed when they find out." Skye comments.
"Which is why you will not make me deal with them alone." Fury tells her, "You are to come back from this mission unhurt to be sure of that, do I make myself clear?" Fury asks.
"Perfectly Nicky." Skye says with an amused smirk though you couldn't tell thorough her helmet as this is his way of showing concern without actually showing it, "I'm just passing point Alpha. Electro-Girl going dark." Skye says before ending the conversation
"Good Luck." Fury comments once she does.
Skye continues to drive for several minutes after she hangs up with Fury until she arrives at a small cliff across from a large industrial estate. Being as quiet as possible though she knows that she is too far away to be heard Skye removes her helmet, carefully goes to the edge of the cliff, pulls her bow off of her back and pulls two arrows out of her quiver. Holding the arrows in her left hand Skye uses her right to put energy into the arrows to that they will stun a person on impact. Once she is sure that what she is planning will work Skye puts one of the arrows on the ground and takes aim with the others. Her target is two man with semi-automatic weapons almost directly across from her on a roof of the estate. Once she has her target she fires the arrow which hits directly on her target, the leg of one of the men causing him to collapse. Then before the other can react Skye picks up the other arrow, takes aim, and fires. Hitting in the second man in his leg.
Once both men are unconscious Skye changes the arrow head of the arrow to a grappling hook which she fires and it hits the wall behind the where the two men were standing and grabbing hold of her bow she presses the button which causes her to be able to swing across the gap to the other roof.
"Okay, seriously how do they make it seem so easy?" Skye comments, thinking of her parents, Uncle and Aunt as she lands and almost falls as they make what she just done seem really easy even though, as she just learnt it's really not. Once she is sure that she isn't going to fall Skye puts her bow back on her back and picks open the door and heads inside.
Skye heads down a corridor and the second she hears movement she uses her power to create a small force field around her left hand which is large enough to protect her if needed. She quickly has to put that two the test when two men start firing at her, the force field holds and it enables her to use her right hand to send stunning blasts at the men who are firing her.
For ten minutes Skye makes her way through the estate using her powers to both protect herself from and stun anyone who she comes across. As she makes her way through she is very thankful for the dancing she has done with her Aunt and the Tai-Chi she does with her mother as it enabled her to dodge and avoid getting hurt by the men a couple of times when she couldn't use her powers right away. She does battles through the estate, not hurting a single person only temporarily stunning, until she finally reaches where she needed to. When she reaches the door she needs to go through she once more picks the lock and then enters.
The room is completely empty except for a generator and a computer, but before she approaches she makes sure that she is in fact alone. Once she is sure that she is Skye makes her way over to the computer. As she knows that she can't use the generator to turn on the computer because it requires both a retinal scan and a fingerprint scan to work, Skye places one of her hands on the computer and pushes enough energy into it to power the computer for twenty minutes, this is something she's only been trying to do since she started to plan this mission so she is quiet thankful when it actually works.
Once she has power she sits down on and hacks in to the computer. It takes her about seven minutes to hack into the computer. Once she does she connects a hard drive and downloads all the information she wants. Once the information is on the hard drive she encrypts it and removes all traces of what she did from the computer.
"Done." Skye says putting the hard drive inside her jacket and once more putting her hand on the top of the computer to pull the excess energy back into her.
Knowing that it will be easier for her to get out through the front than the way she came that's just what Skye does.
Five minutes later Skye is out of the estate and she uses her grappling hook arrow to get back up the cliff, where once she is she gets back one her motorbike and drives away.
Once she is sure that she is far away from the compound to be sure that she hasn't been followed Skye once more activates her coms and calls back to base,
"Electro-Girl to base, I have the package and will be arriving at the extraction point in twenty minutes." Skye says.
"Good work Electro-Girl." Fury responds a hint of relief clear in his voice to anyone who knows him, "Extraction is standing by, see you soon." Fury says before hanging up.
"Goodbye to you to." Skye comments amused as she ends the call.
Several hours later Skye arrives back at the base where Fury is waiting for her.
"Here's everything I got." Skye says handing Fury the hard drive, "This will explain things a hundred times better than I could, even with my powers." She tells her godfather.
"Thank you, I will get it to the right people." Fury tells her.
"Cool." Skye tells him, "So not that I don't love the company or the chance of scenery, but I was wondering when I could go home." Skye says to her godfather.
"Maria has a transport ready to fly you back herself." Fury reveals
"Oh, cool." Skye comments.
"But there is something I wanted to talk to you about first." Fury tells her, "Sit down." He requests walking over to the nearby table.
"Am I in trouble?" Skye asks worried as she walks over and takes a seat
"No, though of course you would think that." Fury comments amused, "I have something I want to discuss with you." Fury informs her.
"What?"
"This." Fury says handing her over a file.
Once Skye has the file in her hand Skye looks down and when she sees what is written across the manila file I black levels she is shocked, "The Avengers initiative, you've got to be kidding." Skye comments looking at her godfather in complete shock.
THE END (REALLY THIS TIME)
AN3: I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has stuck by me the past few months. It means more than I can put into words and I know that a simple thank you can't cover everything that I want to say but that is what I am going to say, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
