Chapter 15: Confessions part 2
The next day Natasha had called Sharon to warn them of the effects of the staff that Bobbi had, and she also apologized to Maria from her comments the day before, They had accepted the apology and thank her for the warning.
That was why they were in the training area right now, "so, what are we doing" Skye asked "well Natasha called earlier, and apparently Bobbi is still affected by the berserker staff, mostly in her wolf form, so we just want to see, if you are affected the same way," Sharon answered. "I didn't feel anything under the other changes," Skye said "maybe that was because of the other things going on, let us just try, okay," Maria asked. "okay" Skye agreed.
They all changed, when they were in their wolf forms, Maria and Sharon could immediately feel, the hidden anger from Skye, "okay Maria would you mind taking this" Sharon asked, "no, my fur is thicker, just if I need help" Maria said "I'll be there" Sharon finished.
Maria walked over to Skye "Skye, we can feel your anger, we have an idea to help" Sharon said from the spot she had sat down on. "what is it" Skye got out, she could feel it too, and it was intense. "fight me" Maria said. Skye took a step back "what, no I don't want to fight you" Skye said in a slit panic. Maria pretended not to hear her, and pushed her with her head, "stop that" Skye growled, Maria just did it again a little harder, "I said stop" Skye this time barked.
"if you want me to stop, stop me yourself," Maria said, and was about the shove her again, Skye moved out of the way, Skye could feel she was about to lose it, if Maria kept pushing and shoving her. Maria barely made contact this time when Skye decided that enough was enough, they wanted her to fight Maria, okay then she will fight Maria.
Okay fight that was not really what she would call it, more like Skye trying to get a hold of Maria but, Maria's fur was in the way, every time she made contact with her teeth, so she always only got ahold of fur and nothing else, until she realized that Maria's ears, was not covered in a thick layer of fur.
And both Sharon and Maria heard Skye's new tactic, Sharon could help the small chuckle she had, and Maria instantly sent her a glare but could deny it was a funny and clever idea, and, also completely new. When Skye jumped up to lean over her shoulder so she could reach her ear, Maria rolled said shoulder effectively nocking Skye to the ground.
Skye got op with a growl, but something had changed in Skye's stance and her eyes were glazed over, both Sharon and Maria noticed this Sharon quickly moved over to them, "Skye I think that is enough for today" Sharon said, but it did look like Skye heard her. "SKYE ENOUGH" Sharon yelled when Skye started to growl and snarl and her hair on her back started to rise op, but what was most scary was the growls and snarls was not the one of annoyances like it had been op until this point, they were also even more vicious than the ones Skye had made when Sharon had claimed her.
"Sharon you need to take charge now," Maria said franticly, Skye was about to charge at them when she suddenly shook her head and turned to look around her, when her eyes landed on a sandbag she attacked it, she ripped that bag in pieces in a few minutes, while Sharon and Maria just stared at the scene in front of them.
When the bag was no more, Sharon approached Skye slowly, she moved to the side so she did not come from behind, Sharon could see Skye panting her tongue hang out of her mouth. "Skye are you with us," she asked Skye's head, shot op to look at her, and Sharon stop in her tack, looking at Skye, waiting for her next move. "yeah I think so" Skye answered "okay it is time to tune again," Sharon said waiting for Skye to turn first, Skye most have noticed Sharon's and Maria's worry so she changed back to her human form, but instead of standing op, she sat down on the floor, in the mess she had made.
Once Sharon and Maria had changed too they made they way over to sit beside Skye on either side of her, "hay what happened" Maria asked "I don't know, I, it was like, I am sorry about the bag" Skye said not looking at either of them.
"hay it's okay it's just a bag, we are more worried about you, you kind of disappeared for a moment" Sharon said. "I lost it you mean," Skye said bitterly, "yes a little, but that is what we were trying to, you know get you to let out some of your anger, and don't say you don't have any, we are trying to prevent you of losing control, I just think we might need to find another way, for the next time," Sharon said "what, no, no, no, I don't want to this again, I don't want to accidentally hurt any of you," Skye said.
"hay don't worry about us, I think I have an idea, maybe next time we do it in human form, but then you have to let some of it go, and not hiding it like you have been doing until now, okay, or we keep doing this in wolf form," Maria said. "okay I think I would prefer human form, I just don't know how to let my anger go in human form, because" Skye trailed of looking off into the wall in front of her.
Sharon and Maria looked at each other when Skye did not finish her sentence, but they did not push on it, they hoped Skye would open op when she trusted them more.
Over the next three days they worked on Skye's anger, one afternoon just after they had eating lunch, Skye was in her room, rubbing her wrists Maria had taken the nanny bracelet of two days ago, she had taken out her SD cart debating if she should tell, Sharon and Maria everything, they had been so kind to her, from the day she had meet them, but she was afraid of their reaction, she also thought about the copy of the redacted file she had given to Coulson, and felt stupid for not telling him that it could be connected to her because she was seven-teen, not twenty-three, but again she had been afraid to tell him.
No she had to tell them they had trusted her with a lot, she could at least do the same and if it ended biting her in the ass, like most things, then at least she could get it over whit. She took a deep breath before gathering the SD cart with the redacted file on it before she left to talk to Sharon and Maria.
Skye walked out to the common area where Sharon and Maria were cuddled op on one of the couches, Maria spotted her first "hay Skye, come and join us" she said, but then looking at her again "hi are you and, you seem a little tens" She said untangle herself from her mate, who also looked at her with curiosity. "umm I need to tell you something, and I don't think you will be happy about it" Skye said very carefully and looking just as uncomfortable.
"Okay, then why don't you come and sit down," Sharon said exchanging a glans with Maria. They could feel Skye's rising anxiety, so they knew it was important what she wanted to share with them.
"I have been lying to you, about who I am" Skye started "what do you mean," Maria asked hoping that Natasha wasn't right all along, "well lying is maybe not the correct word but it is the closed I can come to the truth, the truth is I don't know who I am, never have, when I was twelve I stayed at the orphanage for a few months before I was sent to a new home, but while I was there I found a note whit had the name that the nuns at the orphanage gave me on it and a refers to a document that the CBS would have, so I decided I wanted to know what it said, it could be something about my parents or at least a clue or a reason as to why they left me to living in in the system. But it turned out to be a redacted document form SHIELD" Skye said.
"so that is what you were really doing, why you toke Coulson's offer," Maria asked. "yes and before you say anything Coulson know, I told him after the Miles disaster, and he said he would help me, and he did but he don't think the file can help, because it was a seven-teen-year-old file," Skye said "nut you think otherwise why is that," Sharon asked because she cold feel she believed it could give some answers.
Skye fiddled with her hands, "umm that is because I am not twenty-three, I am seven-teen" Skye answered readying herself for what would come, closing her eyes and moving so her head was protected by her arms. But after a few moments and nothing had happened she looked up and saw Sharon and Maria just looking at her in horror, when Maria stood op Skye coward back, "hay, hay easy, no one is going to hurt you, Skye, you know us, come here" Maria said sitting down again and patted the spot between herself and Sharon.
Skye reluctantly moved over and sat down between them, "okay how about we try again" Sharon asked, so Skye spent the next one and a half hour explaining her upbringing and then another thirty minutes answering questions from Maria and Sharon. And then another twenty crying her eyes out and being held close by Maria and Sharon.
"What happens now," Skye asked, she was still afraid to be sent away, "we need to talk to Peggy and Fury, and you can't go back on the Bus" Sharon said "why" She just asked, "well for one you are seven-teen, and we need to find a way to work this out, because well you are not legal, and there are many laws we need to check, but I can say for certain you are not going anywhere," Maria said, which got a smile from Skye a small one but it was there.
"why don't you go take a nap, or watch a movie while we go talk to Fury and Peggy," Sharon asked feeling the exhaustion coming from Skye, "yeah I think might do that" Skye said standing op but before she could walk away Maria had her in a bone-crushing hug, and when she let go Sharon had her in one.
One the way op to Fury's office where they knew Peggy was also waiting, for them Sharon had called her and asked her to meet them in Fury's office. "she is seven-teen" Sharon said looking at Maria "yes, I didn't see that come" Maria said "no Maria she is seven-teen or she thinks she is" Sharon said again, now Maria knew where Sharon was going with this "No Sharon, it can't be our third is dead, they died on April third, 2002, Skye can't be that person, besides she only have Bobbi's maker" Maria said, "I know but when we met- " Sharon started but stopped when the elevator stopped.
They walked to Fury's office and knocked Peggy open the door to let them in, "what is this about" Fury asked, "it is about Skye" Sharon said "what about her" Peggy asked curious "well it turns out that she is only seventeen" Maria said. "WHAT" Fury yelled, "how is that possible that no one knew that ahh all the laws and red tape it is going to be a nightmare," he said, "sir there is more," Maria said, when he gave her a look that said continue she and Sharon explained what Skye had told them and even gave Fury the SD cart Skye had given them.
When they were done Fury released a long breath "we can't just let a seventeen-year-old girl run around SHIELD" he said it was at that point Peggy spoke op again "I well be her legal guardian " she said, stunning the rest of the room. "Peggy," Sharon asked "yes it would be the best option for us, because we can't send her back to the system for more than one reason," Peggy said with a tone that did not make room for discussion, "okay Maria and I will get the papers ready but we will need her legal name," Fury said, "I'll go and tell her and ask for the name," Sharon said "I will go with you," Peggy said.
When Peggy and Sharon walked into the common area in Sharon's area they could see Skye in the kitchen making some coffee "hay Skye would you mind joining us on the couch" Sharon asked, "umm no" Skye said moving over to them "so" Skye asked, "we have decided you need a guardian" Sharon said, Skye made a face "who have you decided that" she asked, "yes, we have and if you agree I would happily be your guardian" Peggy answered, Skye's eyes went wide at that but she nodded nonetheless. "we just need the name they gave you at the orphanage so we can file the papers, to make it official" Sharon said at that Skye groaned "really" she asked when Sharon nodded, she sighed "okay it was Mary Sue Poots" she was extremely happy that they didn't comment on the name.
