Skye Ghul or Skye Coulson chapter 5
"I still cannot believe it." Clint said shaking his head, they had been sitting around the table discussing what had just happened.
"That she managed to escape a room even Thor only just managed to escape?" Coulson asked
"No, that she is part of the league. If those others didn't turn up we never would have known." Clint responded.
"Still doesn't answer the question as to why she was here." May stated she didn't think she was here for the avengers. She came because of Skye, what was the league planning?
"We can't do much tonight, we will start our search in the morning." Phil said sharing a look with May they will go and find Skye.
Three days later there was still no luck in finding Sam, Skye had spoken with Natasha at great lengths learning everything she could about the league of assassins. Part of her still did not want to believe it, that Sam could be one of these people that Nat was describing. The words she whispered in her ear was still in her head so far she has not told the others what she had shared. May and Natasha were keeping a close eye on her but when she wasn't training she was on her computer searching for her.
"She said she knows who my parents are." Skye stated on the fourth day, she in the gym working out with May and Natasha.
"You believe her?" May asked
"I do…or I did. I am just so confused." Skye stated it was official she had Simmons run the DNA test and Jaiying and Cal was not her parents.
"Skye did she give you a way to contact her?" Natasha asked
"All my ways of contacting her have failed." Skye replied but Natasha was looking at her not really buying it she then shared a look with May.
"Skye the league is dangerous, everything you thought about your friend is gone."
"But that is the thing, everything you talked about the way you described the league that is not her. She helped us when I asked, she stopped those other members. I can't believe that, everything we went through, everything she said and did this year and the other times I have met up with her are you saying that was all an act? If I can help her I am going to want to help her. I can save her… I need to save her." Skye replied looking from Natasha to May and back to Natasha.
"Skye…"
"I know what you are going to say. I just need some time." Skye said holding up her hand stopping them from talking she walked away from the gym heading for the shower. Skye stood under the hot water for a while thinking…she knew she could get through to her if it was just the two of them. She also knew that right now May and Coulson were in over protective mode and that Natasha was keeping a close eye on her. If she wanted to save Sam she had to do it on her own, Clint saved Natasha she could save Sam. She worked in her office for a while not really paying attention to the screen but this way it kept the others back.
"Hey Skye."
"Jemma? Hey, what are you doing here?" Skye asked turning to face her friend.
"Fitz is busy with Bruce and Mr Stark, I thought we could do something." She stated
"A girls day out, we could go to the mall." Skye smiled making Jemma smile in agreement their plan however as they made their way to the elevator they were stopped by Natasha seeming May was in a meeting with Coulson. Natasha ended up tagging along with them with minimum protest from Skye after receiving one look from her mentor.
They drove to the mall and started window shopping Skye was surprised that Natasha even gave input on some of the things they were looking at.
"Stark is throwing a party, do you guys have dresses?" Natasha asked after an hour and a half of shopping they were finally sitting and having something to eat.
"Just that dress I wore for that undercover op with you." Daisy stated
"I don't really do dresses." Jemma added
"Then that is what we are doing next." Natasha stated making both girls look at her but no matter how hard they tried there was no talking her out of it. They didn't mind though…dress shopping was sort of fun, especially when Skye started acting out what the dresses made her think of, one dress she pulled off the rack and did a valley girl impression, another she tried to do a posh British accent which Jemma rolled her eyes at but by the end of it they were both laughing even Natasha was smirking. Skye settled on a dark blue strapless dress and Jemma got an elegant forest green dress that was simple but stylish. After that they were heading to a shoe store when Natasha's phone rang, Skye and Jemma went into the store as she stopped to answer it. Skye was looking at the boots, she always preferred boots over heels knowing she wouldn't be able to wear chucks as Jemma looked at flats.
"We will have to finish this another time; that was Mel we need to go back." Natasha stated when she came over to them, both of them nodded and followed her back to the car.
Back at the Tower
Natasha, Skye and Jemma met the others at the command room after being directed by Jarvis as that was where they were waiting for them. Skye instantly knew that when she entered the room that the mood was grim.
"What happened?" Skye asked looking at Coulson who nodded his head to Tony, he put up a security feed. From an airport….
Skye recognized Sam right away she had moved through the crowd and appeared to be waiting for someone. A tall dark haired woman came over to her with a shorter blonde lady, Sam seemed to greet them with a nod and went to lead them out but they were stopped by security. There was 6 men five of them had weapon drawn…slowly the ladies put their hands up. One of them moved forward probably to contain them. That was when the dark haired lady moved, with precision and speed she had him in a tight hold she seemed to say something and the blonde lady was holding a box. She opened the box and the five security men went flying none of them got back up. The dark haired lady dropped the man she was holding and let the pen fall to the ground stained red. The three of them walked away no one stopped them.
"What just happened?"
"Who was that?"
"Were they…killed?"
"When was this?"
"15 minutes ago at JFK. We have no idea who the other two ladies were, fake passports were used to enter from Spain. Only one casualty."
"That is Nyssa. Daughter of the Demon…something big is definitely going down if he sends his daughter here. The other woman, I don't know…there was whispers of the White Canary who travelled with the daughter of the Demon. But nothing concrete." Maria informed them it had both Bucky and Natasha nodding their head in agreement.
"What do we do?" Skye asked, thinking of a program that can help track these people down.
"Today? Nothing…I already have Jarvis on tracking them. Tonight we get ready to party." Tony stated
"Is there a reason for this party?" Skye asked
"Do I need a reason to throw an awesome party?" he asked
"Normally yes."
"Well I am Tony Stark that is reason enough." He stated moving out of the room with Bruce and Fitz discussing science that no one else understood maybe Jemma did but she stayed next to Skye the tow of them shared a look before going off to Skye's room but not before dragging Bobbie with them. Hunter left with Trip leaving Maria with Natasha, May, Clint, Coulson, Steve and Bucky where they began discussing what could possibly be drawing the leagues attention to New York.
