Skye Ghul or Skye Coulson chapter 7
Skye saw both Wanda and Pietro tense, as Sam seemed to be assessing them before turning to face Skye.
"It is good to see you, sorry for the trip down memory lane." Sam stated stepping forward only to stop when she saw both of Skye's friends shift. "I am surprised you brought friends with you." She added looking from them to Skye finishing on the house behind them.
"You remember this place?" Skye asked
"Not something I could forget." Sam replied and Skye could hear the frown in her voice.
"You remember the pact we made. Sam? DO you?" Skye asked at which Sam turned to face her she could hear the anger in her voice.
"When we were 11, after getting back from the hospital to St Agnus. You had not said a word for three days. You flinched whenever someone came near you, when the others teased you, you would lash out."
"So you told me, that you would be there for me, no matter what. That you would always have my back. I turned to you, what did I say?" Skye asked and watched as Sam stood there for a few seconds not saying anything.
"That I needed someone just as much so you, we made the pact that we would be there for each other no matter what, through thick or thin we would always turn up." Sam replied
"SO here I am, turning up. Not because of what you told me in the tower, frankly I don't care about that…not as much as what you mean to me. Sam for so long you have always been there now it is my turn to be there for you. I know you Sam, better than anyone. The same way you know me…"
"You think you can save me?" Sam asked breaking into Skye's speech. "I don't need saving Skye."
"You said that you helped me all those times because you owed me a debt, but I know this is not true. You are still protecting me. You killed that man because he was about to kill me, you protect people Sam, always have it is who you are. Please let me help you." Skye stated she took a step towards her even though she knew that both Wanda and Pietro tensed at this but she was grateful neither of them tried to stop her.
"I don't need help." Sam said
"Sometimes you do even if you do not realize it at the time." Skye stated
"You can't use my own words against me Skye." Sam said shifting her weight to her other foot, as Skye was now an arms-length away she could reach over and touch her but she made no move instead she looked up from under her hood so that she could meet her gaze. "You have some people that want to meet you, I told them I will not force you to come. This decision has to be yours…when you are ready for your answers reach out, come alone. I won't hurt your friends but I make no promises on what they will do." Sam said she went to take a step back but stopped as Skye grabbed her arm, Sam looked down at her arm then back up into her eyes. "Your friends probably don't want you touching me." Sam whispered.
"I can't lose you." Skye replied and she would have sworn she saw a flash of pain in her eyes before they once again hardened.
"Come alone, next time." Sam stated before twisting out of her grasp she stepped into the shadows and seemed to disappear. Skye looked around trying to find her but knew it was a long shot.
"Let's head back to the party before they notice we are gone." Skye stated
"A little late for that." A voice stated making Skye turn to see May and Natasha standing there with Peter Parker and Bucky.
"May, Nat I can explain." Skye began as she did she saw two cars pull up and Nat indicated for her to get in Skye sighed but got in followed by May as they drove back to the tower Sam watched from a roof top with two others, one dark haired the other blonde.
"You did not bring her." Nyssa daughter of the Demon stated
"I told you I would not force her, this must be her decision if you are wanting a relationship with her it needs to be on her terms." Sam replied not looking at her she was watching the cars go
"Remember your place malak saqit." She stated warning clear in her tone, making Sam turn to her and lower her head.
"Permission to continue on with my assignment?" Sam asked once Nyssa accepted her apology of sorts.
"Granted, be warned Ra's al Ghul is wanting results and answers." Nyssa stated and watched as malak saqit took to the air leaving her alone with her beloved.
"You need patience Nyssa,"
"I have waited 25 years, knowing she is there but I cannot go to her…I am losing my patience."
"malak saqit knows her,"
"And if half of what she says is true about their past I will have more names to add to my list. Nobody hurts my family…Nobody." Nyssa stated coldly as she turned to look back at the house they called their lowest point her grip on her bow tightened before she turned and left with her beloved one step behind her.
Skye could not take the silence, the drive back to the tower was in silence and now she sat on one of the couches looking up at the others, now that the party was over she was facing the stern faces of the Avengers and her team all of whom have yet to speak. They were waiting for Coulson he was busy on a call with Nick but she was not looking forward to his entrance. She felt like a berated child sitting in the principals office. When Coulson entered the room the tension seemed to double and Skye could not help but look down, Wanda had been trying to give her sympathetic looks as she and Pietro stood across from her they had been told off already by Natasha and Clint.
"What were you thinking Skye?" Coulson asked after giving her the disappointed father look for a minute, Skye did not realize how much that hurt.
"I was thinking she has protected me so many times I have lost count. She needs me now, it is my turn to help her. I went there to talk A.C, I am not going to turn my back on her. We were only talking…"
"She is dangerous Skye."
"She is not going to hurt me." Skye defended
"She is part of the league."
"Exactly, they brainwashed her. We do not turn our back on family. You taught me that Coulson, she is my family."
"Skye."
"I know what you are going to say, don't please. She is still in there I know she is. I have had a very crappy upbringing and the only good thing, the only constant thing that I know is Sam. Sam always has my back and I forgot for a while but I remember now I need to have hers." Skye stated she was standing looking Coulson in the eyes before she turned to Clint and Natasha. "If I can bring her in, can you deprogram her?" Skye asked
"Skye the way the league does it, if we try she will try to kill herself. We have not been able to stop them before…If we are going to attempt this we will need a more secure room then the Hulk containment." Natasha stated with a sigh, seeing the hurt in Skye's eyes had her thinking of a plan to help her.
"The cage? On the bus. Lady Sif fought Lorelei on it and couldn't get out." Skye stated Natasha felt bad she could see the hope in her eyes.
"Why does she want you?" Coulson asked, this was the only reason he could think of, Sam was still around was because she wanted Skye for some reason.
"I don't know." Skye shrugged at this Steve looked at her with a frown as did May both knew she was lying for different reasons.
