13. Hospital

Skye POV

When they landed, Skye went into the Hospital with May. May only came along to talk for her. Skye hadn't really tried to talk yet. She wasn't sure if the device would work yet.

"Ah, yes." The receptionist said. "George Watson. Room 457." May thanked the woman and Skye headed up the elevator. She quickly found room 457. She entered and found Ward, lying in the bed. His head was partly bandaged and his leg was elevated and in a cast.

When he saw Skye, Ward's face lit up. "Skye!" He exclaimed joyfully. "You got my message!" Skye nodded. All of a sudden a doctor came in. "Hello." He said. "Are you family?" Skye stared at her blankly. Ward answered for her. "She can't speak and she's my girlfriend." "Oh." The doctor said, looking embarrassed. "I'm sorry." Skye waved, as though to say "it's nothing". The doctor quickly left. Before leaving, he said, "I'm Lincoln. By the way." Skye nodded

Skye grabbed her pen and paper and wrote, What happened? "Plane crashed." He said simply. There was really nothing more to say. Skye waved and left. She didn't see his heartbroken expression as she left. She didn't hear his sobs as she walked down the hall. She didn't know his heart was breaking as she entered the elevator.

May POV

May couldn't believe it. She'd just figured it out. The initials of George Watson were the same as Grant Ward's! This couldn't be a coincidence. Technically, Skye hadn't lied to her. She was visiting an old friend who was currently going by George Watson.

May was still mad at Skye, but more concerned for her. She was about to head up to his room, when Skye came down the elevator. May gave her one angry look and Skye knew that May had figured it out.

They were not communicating on the entire flight back. May was fuming and Skye was very guilty. May knew that Skye had to conceal who she was going to see or else May wouldn't have taken her. Finally, May asked, "Why was he in the hospital?" Skye looked up, surprised. She wrote, The plane that took us here crashed on the way back. He's ok. May was surprised. Ward had gotten himself hurt because he had taken Skye and Violet to Shield. Maybe he wasn't quite the monster she thought.
