Chapter 11: The first transformation
Over the next 4 weeks Skye and May's relationship continued to be tense, and Skye and Bobbi's moved very slowly they were not as close or clear if they were a romantic or platonic pair, as others soulmate pair would be after over a month, of knowing each other.
The team was called to the briefing room, Coulson and May were already there when Skye and Bobbi arrived, a few minutes later Fitzsimons arrived talking among themself so fast Skye could not follow or understand how they could understand each other. "okay enough agents Fitz and Simmons" Coulson interrupted them, they looked sheepish at him before he continued "we have a mission in Norway, two people may have gotten a hold of an object that is not from our world, they found it in a tree, in a forest. We need to find out what this object is and how they found it,
When Simmons, Bobbi, and Coulson returned from the scene, Fitz had already the 3D replica ready for them "okay what are we looking at" Bobbi asked "a piece of a weapon whit what appear to be ancient Nordic runes" Fitz said showing the runes "so you think there is more out there" Bobbi asked "yes at least 2" Simmons said. "how did they even found it they only cut down one tree out of hundreds of thousand trees" Bobbi asked "maybe it called to them like magic" Skye spoke up, when Fitzsimmons and Bobbi just looked at her "what as if we haven't seen stranger things" She asked.
At that time Coulson joined the conversation "Skye is right" "wait what" both Skye, Bobbi, and Fitzsimmons said at the same time. "yes, in a way I have made contact with a professor in Nordic mythology, who have agreed to help we are on our way there now" Coulson said
It turned out to be part of a berserk staff, a professor named Elliot Randolph told them of a poem which, according to legend, was telling the way to the 3 pieces of the staff. When Bobbi and Skye went to the catacombs of one of the old chapel in Saul, where they believe the second piece of the staff to be, Bobbi came in contact with the staff, so when Skye tried to approach Bobbi, to help her after her heart rate and pulse was sky high, according to Simmons.
Bobbi took a swing at Skye, which she did not have the changes to doge when Skye was over the shock of Bobbi hitting her, she shoot Bobbi with the night-night gun and dragged her out of the catacombs, she meets Coulson outside who had professor Randolph but Randolph had lost the piece of the staff, to Jakob Nystrom and Petra Larsen and their followers.
Back at the plane Coulson and May were integrating Randolph, while Fitz, Skye Bobbi, and Simmons were in the lab watching, Simmons had already checked Skye over luckily Skye would only get a black eye. Simmons was trying to check Bobbi out, but Bobbi was making it difficult.
"hay, Bobbi relax just sit down and let Simmons check you out," Skye said after the fourths time Simmons tide to explain to Bobbi she needed to sit down so she could get the correct results. " we don't have time for me sitting down, we need to get answers and we need to get the pieces of this hell staff before Nystrom and Larsen hurt or kill more people," Bobbi said angrily walking towards Skye, backing her up against the wall.
"so, no Skye I don't want to sit down, and relax," Bobbi said still in an angry tone, but after she looked Skye over landing on her cheek, that had a darker color than the rest of Skye's face, she took a step back, ducking her head walking over to the monitor viewing the interrogation. Well it turned out that Randolph was an Asgardian warrior who had owned the berserker staff, and hid it, he led them to the last piece in a church in Ireland.
But when they arrived at the church everything went crazy Nystrom stabbed Randolph in the chest with the last piece of the staff, Bobbi fighting Nystrom and his goons, before dropping the tow pieces of the staff and collapsing to the floor panting, Skye ren to her soulmate "hey, hey Bobbi are you okay can you hear me" She asked, Bobbi for her part only panted more and only managed to nod her head, before the doors were thrown open and in walked Petra Larsen whit the last piece of the staff.
Looking pissed at what she saw her lover and their followers lay on the floor. "you will pay for this" she said. Bobbi was about to get op and grabbing for the pieces next to her. But Skye beat her to it, Skye took a sharp intake of air when she was flooded my old memories, standing op and walking towards Larson. "what are you doing" Bobbi got out just as May arrived next to her, helping her out of the fight. "May you need to stop her, the staff it, it" Bobbi pleaded whit May, "I know we felt it when you touched it, well except Skye, and now we can't feel what Skye is felling, Simmons thinks it has something to do whit Skye not being claimed in the pack yet" May said. Bobbi nodded "help her please," Bobbi asked, but before May could respond the fight was over Skye had won but she looked like she had seen a ghost, she was pale, sweaty and she was shaking a bit. "Skye, I need you to put the staff down" May said moving towards the young women.
When Skye didn't respond to her May tried again "Skye did you hear me, I told you to put the staff down, now" that seems to have done the trick because Skye was blinking rapidly looking around her eyes landed on May and Bobbi Skye dropped the staff, "are you okay" Bobbi asked concerned still feeling the after-effects of the staff, walking slowly up and coming to a stop in front of her mate. Skye for her part shook her head to clear it, then nodded" yes I'm fine" right then Coulson alongside Fitzsimmons and Randolph came down, Simmons ren to Bobbi and Skye to check them over.
A while later, after everything was packed up and the prisoners were dispatched to be dealt whit, it was decided by the team could stay overnight at a hotel not far from there, which Skye was very happy with, although she said she was fine, she was far from fine. She just wanted to be alone, she could feel her self-control slipping, and could not wait to be by herself and not surrounded by people.
Later in the hotel bar, Skye and Bobbi were sitting together, having a drink "you shouldn't have taken on Larsen" Bobbi suddenly said "what" Skye asked confused "I said that you should not have taken on Larsen" Bobbi said, "why, you were not in the best of shape, and May was too far away, so I took action, and it worked out fine" Skye said. "worked out fine, are you not affected by the staff, don't you feel like you want to tear everything apart, dint you see some for you worst memories" Bobbi asked whit a growl. Skye was quiet for a minute before she answered, Bobbi was about to ask again when she did, "I saw a little but no I don't feel like that, yes I am a bit upset but nothing more than that" Skye said whit a convincing affect. Bobbi stared at her for a long minute before she went back to her drink "must be nice, not to have so many bad experiences in your life" she mumbled, Skye was close to snapping at her, to tell her precisely how she felt, how her life had been, and that she knew nothing about her, or the fact that they were all spies, but couldn't figure out that she was only seventeen, but instead she just stood up "I am going to bed, see you tomorrow" not waiting for a reply she left.
Over the next few days, Bobbi and Skye was not talking so much whit etch other, Skye had a brief conversation about the incident whit the staff, May had told her that she was reckless and should have let her or Bobbi handle it, but she had done good but was not to do something like that again before she was trained more.
The time was finely here where Skye was to have her first change, they were in Germany, they had to give Coulson something to do as to not ask questions as to why Skye, Bobbi, and May would disappear. When the three wolfs arrived at the floor the change was to happen. Skye could see Natasha and Maria along whit a man who looked familiar and after a minute she recognized him as Hark-eye aka Clin Barton, and two women one tall with blond hair standing very close to Maria, and another women whit brown hair talking with Natasha, all heads turned to them when they entered the big room.
Maria and the blond she was talking to, came forward, Bobbi left Skye's side to go talk to Clint and May went over to Natasha and the brunette. "hi, are you ready" Maria asked "I am nerves" Skye answered honestly "I was too when I had my first" the blond women said "I think everyone would be" Skye told the blond, looking around the room so she missed the look the blond got on her face when she said that.
"uhh sorry, Skye this is Sharon Carter my soulmate, Sharon this is Skye," Maria said to move on from the awkward silence that had appeared between them. "how about you meet the rest of the pack so we can move on" Natasha's voice came next to Maria, none of the three had heard her come over. "yes, good idea," Maria said. Skye was right about the men being Clint Barton she also learned that he was a sigma and the other woman was Isabelle Hartley or Izzy for short, were an omega and she was also Victoria Hand's soulmate, and that Sharon was also a sigma.
"okay Skye are you ready" Natasha asked motion Skye to come over to her "as ready as I ever be" Skye said moving over to the alpha. "okay, do the exercises May taught you, and remember to visualize your wolf and don't fight the change," Natasha said walking over to the others. "why aren't you helping her, like you are supposed to, it is head enough whit help but you will make her do it alone," Maria asked the alpha over the mental link. The only reason she got was a growl over the link and a glare.
It took some time even some of the others manly Sharon and Maria was starting to get nervous when suddenly they could hear the familiar sound of bones cracking and they could see Skye's body getting smaller and changing to a little wolf, she was a little smaller than the others when they had their first change, but she was still big about the size of a six week old Siberian husky.
Skye a little unsteady on four legs at first, she jumped back when a giant black and a just as big white wolf, was standing in front of her, she had to crane her neck to look at their faces, when she look over where the others were she could not see Maria or Sharon so she would guess the two wolfs in front of her were them. "good, now you need to become familiar whit the pack, get use to your new wolf body" Natasha said before nodding the rest so they could followed suit, Bobbi became a creamy light brown wolf, May a creamy dark brown, Izzy was a mix of black and brown and Clint was a gray wolf. Natasha waited a bit just watching the pack help guide Skye in her new form, she was glad that May had stayed with her. "what do you think of her first change" May asked "I think she did well, I keep getting the feeling that there is something about her, and this change just confirmed it, it was too easy for her, normally it takes a lot longer than this, and that is whit help from an older wolf, you just taught her the basics" Natasha said still watching Skye and the pack.
"hmm yes and then there is the fact that Bobbi had a little trouble just now to do her change because of that dame staff, and Skye did hold it too, but she don't seem to be affected that much, like Bobbi" May said just as thoughtful "hmm" was the only response May got from her mate and alpha before Natasha changed herself to her wolf form and walking over to the pack and Skye.
The others stopped what they were doing when their alpha came over whit May following, Natasha was a reddish wolf, when the alpha stopped in front of Skye, she sat down and waited for the others to do as well, it took a minute for Skye to understand that she was meant to sit too, after Sharon gave her a small push whit her head. When everyone was sitting Natasha laid down and indicated it was time to sleep over the mental link, but since Skye did not have access to the link, she just had to follow what the others were doing, and she was confused as to what was happing now, so she was glad that both Maria and Sharon yawned and put their heads down to show her they were going to sleep.
The next day after the 616 team had left, Natasha had told Maria that she wanted to talk to her alone. "okay, what do you know about Skye, why do Peggy want her in the pack" Natasha asked Maria "what, I don't know any more than anyone else, and like I have told you multiple times I don't know why Peggy want her, she hasn't told me, why don't you ask Peggy yourself" Maria said. "we both know she wouldn't tell me, then tell me why you are so quick to defend Skye and Peggy's reason to want an completely unknown person in my, our pack" the alpha asked, "because no matter, if we like it or not Peggy is the head alpha, and I trust her to know what she is doing, and for me defending Skye, simple no one else is, and we all know, especially me, how bad it can turn out if a member of a pack feels left out" Maria said whit hurt in her voice. "I know and I am sorry for what happened to you, but this is different, I trust Peggy, I just don't think she is right about this, about Skye, we don't know anything about her, she doesn't open up to May or Bobbi about her past," Natasha said
"Natasha you can't expect her to just tell everything about herself, I think she knows most of the pack doesn't trust her, and that we are handling her transformation differently than the rest, she already knows that we normally change more than one person at a time, because Bobbi let that slip, and that we didn't tell her about the other pack before recently, so why should she trust us, when we don't trust her," Maria asked, she knew she was close to crossing the line but she didn't care, she really believed what they did and was doing was wrong.
"maybe when I have claimed her it will get better than I can keep a better eye on her" Natasha muttered to herself, but Maria heard it. "you can't do that Natasha it will- "Natasha didn't let her beta finish the sentence before she growled at her "that is enough, I will not let you dictate what I can and can't do, I am the alpha, and you are my beta," Natasha said whit anger. Before leaving the room indicating the conversation was over. Maria could only growl at the closed door that the alpha just walked out of, before she too walked out and getting to the hanger bay, she had a meeting with Fury later today.
