When they arrived back at the Triskelion, Victoria and Sharon walked Skye to her office, where she then sat down with a groan.
"Okay, your officer is nice," Sharon said and pretty much jumped to sit in one of the beanbags Maria had gotten for her.
Victoria rolled her eyes at her Betas action, she pulled a bottle of painkillers from her bag.
"Here, if you need them later," she said, handing Skye the bottle, Skye smiled at her.
"Thanks, I think I will need them later, I am so hungover," Skye said, taking the bottle and setting it down on her desk.
"Well, I need to go, I have to oversee a mission, see you both later," Victoria said, and walked away after both Sharon and Skye had said see you later or waved at her.
"You mind that I hang here to work?" Sharon asked.
"No, not really," Skye said, shrugging.
"Great, thanks," Sharon said, pulling out her tablet; she started to write mission reports and prepping for her upcoming mission.
Skye also started her work; she had one drill from Victoria that took her about ten minutes to complete. Afterwards she leant back in her chair, suddenly remembering the old laptop Fury gave her that she hadn't had time to look at yet. It was in her bag. Her plan had been to work on it the day before, but then with everything that happened she wasn't able to, however, now she could. Neither Victoria or Fury had given her anything else to do and she wasn't scheduled to look at the systems until next week.
Grabbing the laptop and charger she powered it up, just as she pushed the power button there was a knock on her door.
"Come in," Skye said a little louder than normal so the person who knocked could hear.
Melinda, Natasha, and Bobbi came in, they did a double take at Sharon sitting in her office and the painkillers on the table.
"Hi Sharon, what are you doing here?" Bobbi asked, Sharon nodded at the three Alphas in greeting.
"Well Skye said I could stay here and work, it is a very nice office," Sharon said.
"Did Izzy pull out the alcohol last night?" Bobbi asked, sitting on the other bean bag, while Melinda and Natasha sat down on the couch; Sharon sat her tablet aside.
"Yeah, she did, and you have got a lightweight," Sharon answered with a small laugh in her voice. No one got the chance to respond or say anything before Sharon was hit with a paper ball in the face.
Sharon was startled at the sudden attack, every eye turned to Skye, Skye just gave them a what look.
"Wait, you know?" Bobbi asked.
"About all of you, yup," Sharon answered.
"How?" Melinda asked.
"Well those two can't shut up," Sharon said, gesturing to Natasha and Bobbi.
When Melinda gave Sharon a look to continue, Sharon smirked, and Bobbi and Natasha looked nervously at each other.
"Izzy said on her last mission with Bobbi, Bobbi couldn't shut up about Skye, and the last mission Nat and I did, Nat mentioned it a few times too. It was easy to figure out after that," Sharon said, still smirking. She was hit with another paper ball, Sharon gave Skye a wounded look.
Skye only narrowed her eyes at the Beta, who was having too much fun, teasing her soulmates.
Sharon raised her hands in surrender.
Natasha stood up and went over to Skye, who looked up at Natasha in question. Natasha took one of Skye's hands and pulled her to her feet, dragging her over to sit between herself and Melinda.
"I didn't take you to be clingy Nat," Sharon joked, only to receive a glare from the Black Widow.
"You are having too much fun right now Sharon," Skye said, making herself comfortable at Melinda and Natasha's sides.
"Only a little," Sharon answered laughing.
"Careful or I'll sit on you again," Skye threatened.
"Sit on her?" Bobbi asked, raising a brow at Skye.
"She did fall onto me first thing this morning and just didn't move," Sharon said.
"I was tired, I had a headache, and I had just fallen off the couch," Skye defended, Sharon only laughed, which made Skye huff.
Melinda and Natasha had been looking at each other during Sharon and Skye's banter. It seemed like Skye had had fun last night, and that Skye and Sharon were likely to get into trouble or cause shenanigans.
Sharon left twenty minutes later as she had a briefing for her upcoming mission.
"How are you feeling?" Melinda asked, running a hand through Skye's hair. Skye was laying down, now with her head on Melinda and her feet on Natasha who was drawing patterns on her legs, she needed to take some more painkillers for her head.
Skye hummed.
"I should talk to Maria," Skye mumbled, snuggling closer to Melinda.
She had missed them, and she felt that she may have needed them a little more yesterday after the incident with Maria, because she felt very clingy right now.
"How about you talk to her tonight at home? If you want to come of course," Bobbi said.
"Yeah, I do want to come home tonight," Skye answered, looking over at Bobbi, who smiled back at her.
"Do you want something special to eat tonight?" Melinda asked, very happy Skye would be coming home with them today.
Skye turned her head to look up at Melinda.
"Can it be your fried chicken?" Skye asked.
Melinda smiled knowing Skye loved her fried chicken; she didn't want to brag, but her fried chicken was amazing, never dry and seasoned perfectly.
"Of course it can, would you like corn or mashed potatoes on the side?" Melinda asked.
"Hmm corn, carrots, and garlic bread?" Skye asked, Melinda nodded. She was still trying to get Skye to eat more and healthier, so her asking for carrots was a good sign in her book.
Skye sighed in content after a moment.
"We should really get back to work," Melinda said, gently shaking Skye's shoulder since her little Omega was falling asleep, Skye whined at that.
"Do you have a lot to do, Skye?" Natasha asked.
"No, I don't really have anything to do until next week, but I was getting started on cracking that old laptop when you came in." Skye answered.
Bobbi's phone rang at that moment.
"Morse," Bobbi answered.
"Yes sir, I will be there in ten," Bobbi said.
"Sorry, I got to go," Bobbi said, Skye stood up so she could hug Bobbi.
"See you later," Bobbi whispered in Skye's ear, Skye nodded.
Melinda also got up to leave.
"I also have to go, but call me if you need anything," Melinda told Skye while hugging her, Skye nodded.
"I will," Skye said, Bobbi and Melinda then walked out.
Natasha stayed, Skye tilted her head in question, Natasha smiled.
"I still have forty minutes until I have to meet my friend Clint for training," Natasha said, lifting her arm so Skye could snuggle into her side.
Natasha's arm was barely up before Skye was under it and leaning heavily on her.
"How was it at Victoria's?" Natasha asked.
"It was fun. I like Sharon, Izzy is also pretty nice to be around, and Kara is cool too," Skye said.
"That's good to hear, have you decided if you want Victoria as an Alpha yet?" Natasha asked.
"I think so," Skye said.
Natasha smiled at her.
"Are you going to tell me, or do I have to guess?" Natasha asked, poking Skye on her side, Skye squirmed.
"I think I wouldn't mind having Victoria as my Alpha or Sharon as my Beta," Skye said. It sounded like Skye was still unsure, but Natasha knew that Skye wasn't unsure anymore.
Skye had also let loose last night among three people she didn't know. She hadn't really done that with them yet, Natasha was a little jealous, not that she would admit it.
"When will you tell Victoria?" Natasha asked curiously.
"I don't know, maybe tomorrow," Skye answered, Natasha nodded, and they fell into silence again.
Skye was working on the laptop; the person who had encrypted that thing was good, very good, like insanely good. She was very impressed. The first thing she did was look to see if it would delete itself if messed with. Surprisingly, it hadn't, so the content had to be very important to not be deleted, especially with this level of encryption.
She had been working for two hours when there was a knock on her door, she went over to open it since she needed to stretch her legs anyways, and the encryption allowed her to stop for the moment, it was like layer on layer on layer of a maze within a maze.
When she opened the door, a man was on the other side.
"Miss Sutter?" He asked.
"Um, yes, that's me," Skye answered, confused as to who this Beta was and why he was there.
"Delivery," he said, handing her a bag, and walked away.
Skye frowned, scrunching her eyebrows in confusion, and closed the door; as soon as she did that, she could smell something delicious. Opening the bag, she saw her favorite Thai takeout, there was a note in the bag too.
Thought you might want something better than what the cafeteria offers.
~ Maria
Maria had ordered her food; Skye didn't really know how to feel about that, but it did put a small smile on her face, feeling warmed by the gesture and getting hungry.
Before she started to eat she connected her own laptop so some of her programs could run to try and help break some of the encryption, she would watch both laptops while she ate.
She was almost done eating when there was another knock on her door, she didn't want to get up, so she again spoke loudly for the person to come in.
It was Melinda who came in.
"Hey, I can see you have eaten," Melinda said, gesturing to the small container in Skye's hands and sitting down on the couch.
"Yeah, Maria ordered it for me, and some weird dude came and delivered it," Skye said, shoving the last bit of food in her mouth.
Melinda chuckled at her little mates' action and smiled at Maria's gesture, she was positive that Maria would get Skye more than just lunch.
"Yeah, the food delivery procedure is for the delivery drivers to leave the food at the front desk and then an agent takes it to where it was meant to go," Melinda said.
"Uh, I did not know that" Skye said, she then looked over at Melinda.
"Have you eaten lunch?" Skye asked, Melinda smiled at Skye.
"Yes, I have. I just wanted to come and see if you have, I had a feeling that since you are working on the old laptop, you would forget to eat," Melinda said.
"Yeah, that sounds like me," Skye said.
It was the end of the work day when Natasha came to pick her up from her office. When she arrived, Natasha knocked on Skye's door. She didn't hear a reply, so she knocked again, still nothing, so after a moment Natasha carefully opened the door.
What she saw made her smile, Skye was sleeping bent over her desk with two laptops running code. Natasha had no idea what it meant, she could hack, but she wasn't as good as Stark or Skye.
She pulled out her phone and took a picture before walking over to Skye, shaking Skye's shoulder.
"Skye, you need to wake up now," Natasha said.
Skye groaned and stretched her body.
"Is it morning already?" Skye asked, and Natasha couldn't contain her laughter.
"No, Skye, it is 4:30 PM, we need to go home. Melinda is already home making dinner, Bobbi and Maria are helping," Natasha said.
Skye yawned and ran her hands over her face.
"Uh, I think I dozed off for a moment, give me a moment to pause and pack this," Skye said, pointing at the laptops. Natasha nodded and cleaned up a little in Skye's office. There were empty cans and water bottles, a Thai food container, and other food wrappings from Skye's big and private assortment of snacks.
After Natasha had done that, she sat down on the couch and watched Skye. About ten minutes later, Skye closed both computers and packed them in her bag.
"Ready," Skye said, smiling at Natasha.
They took the secret tunnel down to Natasha's car, and soon they were on the way home.
Skye was preparing herself for her talk with Maria tonight.
AN: Thanks to Fun_size_Tasha for betaing.
