Skye Ghul or Skye Coulson chapter 10

Skye woke up confused, she did not recognize the room she was in seeing Nyssa sitting across from her had everything clearing up. The mission, the roof…Sam! She bolted up and went to raise her hand in attack when she noticed that Nyssa made no move against her.

"Where am I?" she asked

"Home."

"Sam?"

"Is busy at the moment. You have been asleep for 36 hours. Some clothes for you and a bathroom is just though there." She said pointing to a door on her left.

"I need to know Sam is alright." Skye stated

"malak saqit is fine, I will take you to her once you change. He wouldn't have killed her, his method was wrong…he wanted you to come home. He has been looking for you ever since you were taken from him 25 years ago."

"He made my friend stab herself and threatened to kill her if I didn't come."

"He is a complicated man, I will not lie." Nyssa stated

"How long am I here for?" Skye asked

"You are not a prisoner Skye, you are family. Just listen to his explanation then if you want to return to your friends…just give us a week. If you want nothing to do with us I will talk to him about taking you back to New York." Nyssa stated

"I want to stay with Sam."

"malak saqit, it is best if you call her that…for her sake." Nyssa stated and something in her tone had Skye agreeing. She ended up getting changed in the bathroom after washing herself, she was trying to think of a way to get herself and Sam out of there, she was angry at the man that was supposed to be her father forcing her this way she hoped he was not expecting a warm welcome from her.

Following Nyssa as she walked through many halls dimly lit, there was so many twists and turns she had no idea if she would be able to find her way out by herself, then again this might be the purpose of it. The whole décor of the building she was in had her thinking she was in caves… she was led into an open room that seemed brighter but not by much. Ra's al Ghul was standing in the center of the room but up on a dais, he looked up at her as she entered the room and Skye had the feeling that he was assessing her. She saw Sam standing off to one side somewhat standing in the shadows but again she made no move to look at her, or any sign of recognition either. The woman in white was also in the room but was leaning back against the wall, she seemed to straighten when Nyssa came into the room.

"Skye I would like to formally introduce you to our Father Ra's al Ghul." Nyssa introduced and Skye had a feeling that she was holding back some words most likely some form of title, after all Nyssa was known as to be daughter of the Demon was that his title or did the leader of the league have a different kind of title… Skye thought this over but remained alert especially when he moved over to her stopping a couple of feet away from her and she could see on his face that he was searching for something…approval or recognition she was not sure.

"I am here to listen, you said you wanted to explain, now it the time." Skye stated using the mask that May taught her and Natasha helped perfect. He let lose a small sigh, she wouldn't have noticed it had she not felt it. Right now she was attuned to everyone in the room, she was not going to be snuck up on again. The look in his eyes however were almost approval…

"Come sit, I will explain." he stated moving over to the table Nyssa followed and the white woman moved over to her sitting on her right. Skye would have to ask about that later, as she looked over at Sam who had not moved. Ra's al saw the movement and turned to look at Sam. "malak saqit join us." He stated in an instant Sam was moving over to them Skye looked from her to him before sitting down across from him. She did not let her guard down though even when Sam ended up sitting on his left. "25 years ago you would have been 6 months old, I was on a job, your mother remained here with you sisters, to this day I still do not know how it happened. When I returned; I came across your mother's body, Tali was holding Nyssa and you were gone. Now I have made many enemies over the years that would have loved to see me ruined by going after my family. That is why I had some people watching over them, and your mother she was an incredible woman kind and gentle but knew how to protect herself. From everything that was left behind and whoever took you got past not just one but four members of the league and my security. They got in and out without leaving a trace of how they did it. I knew you were not dead seeming they did not leave the body so I searched going to great lengths trying to find you and whomever took you. They had left Tali and Nyssa unharmed that was how I knew it was not one of my enemies that I knew of and that was the only time I ever accounted anybody like that, nobody claimed responsibility for taking you. Every lead I had went dead, when Tali was old enough she continued the search, we never found you until we came across malak saqit." He left it at that then he went into great detail over what it is that they did, he came right out and told her that yes they were assassins but there was a code that they lived by and did not kill everybody that got in their way. He went into detail about her mother describing her that made Skye think that she would have loved her if she grew up with her then again if she grew up with her she would also be an assassin. He told her that he wanted this to work out between them and that he was there for her, that he would train her if she wanted it. It did become clear even though he did not say it, she was now part of this family and he would not want her gone from him again. He looked like a man that always got what he wanted and considering he has been wanting to find her for 25 years…He let her have some time leaving her with Nyssa before walking out of the room taking Sam with him, she made no eye contact and had remained silent the entire time.

Nyssa ended up taking her back to the room she woke up in, the woman in white came with her she was introduced as Sara Nyssa's beloved she was actually introduced by another name but Skye was not even going to attempt to pronounce it so Nyssa told her she could call her Sara. Once they were in the room did Skye bring up something that had been bugging her.

"Everything I have been told about the league…why did she seem so, normal like my Sam, the Sam that I grew up with." Skye stated

"Her possible connection to you… She was sixteen when we came across her, My Father found her and I don't know if it was because he was on one of his searches for you that made him bring her in or if he had other motives but he brought her in and began her training it was during her training she mentioned you. We still had no proof and we did not put it together until later. After she saved you from those men actually was when we began to suspect. She had completed training, seeming Father had taken a personal approach to it. He did it slightly different to the others, one where she got to hold onto her past for the time for a while or so he said."

"She knew this whole time?" Skye asked thinking of all the times she had met with Sam over the years and yet she said nothing even though she knew that Skye was looking for them.

"Not entirely, we were not sure until this year after she helped you on that case. And I think she was trying to protect you." Nyssa stated carefully this part still had her baffled.

"Protect me?" Skye asked thinking that is something Sam would try to do, she would have known that she would not have wanted anything to do with their life style. "Wait how do you know she was trying to protect me?" Skye asked thinking that Nyssa should be angry that Sam had tried to keep them separated.

"She told me about her past, yours too. Do not be angry with her she had to. Part of her training, unlike the others where they are loyal to the league my Father made it so she was loyal to him and his blood. Her unique talents he did not want to lose and thought she would be an excellent candid to protect his heritage."

"Then why did she not look at me once, why did she not listen to me on the roof? She knows I am his daughter."

"He knew what she was doing, how she was trying to protect. When he asked her she told him the truth…she told him what she told you about family…" Nyssa replied and Skye seemed to freeze remembering the conversation about how Coulson and May were the parents she always wanted. Sam had tried to keep her away from him, and the man she met she just knew he would have killed…

"What did he do?" Skye asked "seeming she is still alive…"

"He did not want to lose his weapon so he…tightened his hold over her. When in a room she will follow his orders and only his. She is still to protect us but only from physical harm." Nyssa replied carefully, Skye knew she was speaking the truth seeming Nyssa had told her she would not lie to her Skye was happy that she was keeping her word.

"Does she still remember me?" Skye asked

"Skye…"

"Does she still remember me?" Skye asked again

"She remembers, she just can't act on it without his permission first." Nyssa replied as she did Skye could only think that this complicated things.

"Wait, why was she trained differently? Why does he want her personal loyalty? Why did you call her weapon?" Skye asked

"malak saqit has powers." Nyssa replied "only a select few know this within the league it is a closely guarded secret, it is why she only trains with a select few and this is why he will not let her go." Skye's heart rate picked up what would happen to her if they figured out she was gifted, she did not want to know the answer to that…she did not think he would 'train' her but he would most likely not hesitate to use her. She would have to be careful about using her powers.
