Skye Ghul or Skye Coulson chapter 6

Skye was looking at her reflection in the mirror, she was all dressed up for Starks party but could not bring herself to move from this spot. She did not want to party, Sam was out there somewhere and needed her. Skye was still adamant to save her friend. After everything they went through growing up she would not abandon her now when it was when she needs her the most. Natasha had informed her of the little knowledge she knows about the league basically she was brainwashed to be an assassin. Something Skye was still having trouble processing, even though she saw her kill that other assassin and that dark look in her eyes she saw after she had killed him still haunted her dreams. She did that to protect her.

"She was protecting me." Skye mumbled

"What was that?" Jemma asked turning to face her, she was in her room getting her hair done by Bobbie who also looked over at Skye.

"Huh?"

"You said something." Jemma stated

"Did I? I guess I am just a little nervous about the party, I mean they are legendary…now I am getting to experience it firsthand."

"Not if you just stand there and not get your hair done. I am finished." Bobbie stated handing Jemma a smaller mirror to look at.

"Wow Bobbie…thank you." Jemma said gushing over her friend it was a braid turned into a bun, it was one she always admired as a kid but never tried it herself as she was never bothered with appearances only her studies (translation she never had long enough hair).

"Don't mention it." Bobbie smiled offering to do Skye's but she took it out from the messy bun she had put it in after her shower and it hung loosely around her face in descent enough waves. She gave Bobbie a cheeky grin who shrugged before the three of them left her room to meet up with Maria, Natasha, Pepper and May who were waiting on them before they made there was to the floor the party was being held on.

20 minutes later Skye was not disappointed, the party was everything she thought it would be, good drinks, fancy people, even the music she couldn't criticize. She had spoken with May and Coulson for a while but they were dragged into a conversation with Tony and some other suits, Jemma was with Fitz talking science with some people Skye did not recognize. Natasha was with Bruce over at the bar, Clint was with Steve, Bucky, Hunter and Trip. She had done her rounds talking to her friends she was happy to see Wanda and Pietro there with Peter Parker even though they looked less then comfortable they were together. Wanda looked over at Skye but she pointed to some people and went and stood next to them, when she felt the eyes move off her did she smile at the people who were looking at her strangely before she moved on. She made her escape, unnoticed or so she thought. She was outside the tower walking down the street when she felt a blast of air brush past her she tensed only to relax when she noticed it was Pietro, he was carrying his sister wearing a frown.

"What are you two doing here? You should be at the party." Skye stated

"We could say the same to you." Wanda stated, they had been informed by Clint on what was going on knowing they were close to Skye.

"You were going to find her no?" Pietro added

"You don't understand." Skye replied she knew she couldn't take them on, and that she could not stop them from calling the others.

"You know how to contact her."

"I just want to talk to her, without the others listening in. It is personal." She added hoping to win them over.

"She is dangerous."

"We are all dangerous."

"The only way we would let you go is if we come with you."

"I won't bring you into this. She is dangerous after all." Skye stated not wanting to endanger them, she had a feeling Sam would not hurt her, she was not so sure about her friends."

"We are all dangerous." Wanda repeated giving Skye a smile.

"I can't convince you to go back inside to enjoy the party."

"No. not without you."

"If I tell you to leave, Pietro you are to get Wanda out got it?" Skye instructed

"Will do, get you both out."

"Wanda first, do not worry about me." Skye stated

"Okay."

"Another thing, what you find out tonight I would appreciate it if you don't mention it to the others." Skye stated not really looking forward to returning to the place it happened. They ended up catching a cab to a part of the city the twins had never been in before and Skye had only been to once, she swore she would never return but it looks like her past has finally caught up to her.

"What is this place?" Pietro asked, they were at an abandoned house that looked to be condemned for fire damage but had been left to rot away.

"A walk down memory lane." Skye mumbled looking around but could not see anyone.

"Is it safe to enter?"

"No, I am never stepping foot in that house again."

"You used to live here?" Wanda asked

"You have been in my head, you know what happened here." Skye stated. "This is where Lizzie died, the worse night of my life. I was fostered alongside her and Sam, by Mr Green and his wife. He was a picture perfect all american dream family man. On the outside, behind closed doors he was a monster. He is the reason I still find it difficult being in small dark places, he would lock us in a small wardrobe barely big enough to stand up in, if we broke one of his rules he would tie us up in the basement and would use the belt. HE would tell us we were nothing, pathetic orphans who leeched off his hard earned money… he carved that word into Sam on her back… leech."

"Why did you not tell somebody?"

"They wouldn't believe us, he was the perfect embodiment of a foster parent and we were known for being troubled…We were late…one of his rules he was obsessed over was punctuality is key. He went red in the face he was that angry but he didn't shout like he usually did. He locked Sam in the attic, Lizzie in the basement and me in the cupboard…he broke my hand yanking me around the house. The way he shoved Lizzie into the basement…she banged her head. The next thing I know is I smelled smoke and Sam is there pulling me out of the house, her side was bleeding she broke out of the window and climbed down the tree screaming for help the neighbors called the police, who called the fire engines they stopped her from running back in to get Lizzie. Turns out he killed himself after he realized Lizzie was dead after setting fire to the house not caring about us still inside. Out of the three of us, Lizzie was the best…the kindest and most innocent. We were 11, after that neither of us got fostered again until we ran away at 16. This is our lowest point a hardship shared between the two of us. The things that happened in this house still haunt my dreams, but one thing came from it, one thing I could count on. Sam we made a pact we would always be there for each other no matter what. That is why I am here, I won't turn my back on her, not again." Skye stated, the twins were silent unsure on what to say, Wanda knew most of this and the darker things that happened that she was not sharing but she still felt bad for her friend…nobody deserves to go through that kind of hardship.

"I did not think you were coming." A voice calls from behind them making them turn around to see Sam standing there, but she looked different, she was wearing a black jacket with a hood up she had a quiver on her shoulder with a bow in her hand and two Japanese style swords strapped across her back. She was standing alone in some shadows and it seemed she was blending in with them.
