Ward's POV
He couldn't believe she was here. Nobody had told him that the former love of his life had been captured. Ward starred in horror at Skye's small, pale, thin body, her tangled hair, but most of all, her face, devoid of all hope. He couldn't bear to see her like that. As soon as Skye saw him, her face brightened. She ran to him and put her arms around him and started sobbing. "What did they do you?", Ward asked. When he got no answer, he asked the guard, "What is she doing here?" "We captured her two weeks ago," the guard replied, "We have been experimenting on her." "Why didn't anybody tell me this?!", Ward half-shouted. The guard answered nervously, "Because we knew that if you knew we were doing this, you would make us stop." Ward did shout this time. "Of course I would make you stop. I won't ever let you harm her ever again!" With that, he took Skye, still in arms, to his room. "Did they hurt you Skye?", Ward asked her when they got to his room. She nodded. "Those jackbutts!", Ward exclaimed. A/N: Jackbutt is a term we use in our house because we are not allowed to swear.
"I'll make sure that those creeps never hurt you again, I promise.", Ward said. Skye smiled. "Why aren't you saying anything?", he asked. Skye smiled sadly and went to get a piece of paper and a pencil. They damaged my vocal cords. She wrote. They told me that I will never speak again. Ward couldn't believe it. He was never going to hear her voice again. "That's O.K. Everything is going to be O.K. I promise you.", he told her, putting his arms around her. "I promise." Skye smiled and Ward felt guilty because he knew that she had believed him. Truthfully, he wasn't entirely sure that everything was going to be O.K. He certainly hoped it would. He didn't want to break yet another promise to Skye.
