Chapter 31

It was four days later, that Maria was informed by Fury that he would put Ward back on the Bus in five days, when the Bus were scheduled for a supply run at the Triskelion.

Maria and Sharon were preparing dinner waiting for Kara and Skye to retune from Skye's training for the day, "how are you feeling about Bobbi being around more?" Maria asked Sharon, "I think it will help Skye, she has been acting wired the last few days" Sharon said, "yeah, what do you think is bothering her? because I don't believe her, when she just says she is tired" Maria said, "me neither, do you think it is about what Lumley said?" Sharon asked, "maybe, but we should talk to her, or ask Peggy to speak to her" Maria said, just as the door opened and Kara and Skye walked in.

"Hi, do I have time for a bath?" Skye asked, "yes dinner isn't ready for another forty minutes" Maria answered, "great" Skye said before walking to her room, "what about you Kara?" Sharon asked, "nah I took a shower when I had Skye run labs" Kara said smugly, "let me guess? She complaint about it when she learned that?" Sharon asked, "oh yes" Kara answered, the three older wolves chuckled at that, "be careful Kara you never know if Skye decides to do a prank on you" Maria said.

The look on Kara's face made Maria and Sharon laugh.

"Hey, speaking of Skye have you talked to her?" Kara asked, "has she said anything to you? We know something is bothering her, but we don't know what, we think it could be what we learned from Lumley," Sharon said.

"Yeah. she doesn't seem like the type of person, to be fine with that many lives lost, because someone may be after her" Kara said, "so you think she is blaming herself?" Maria asked, Kara shrugged at that, "maybe, you have said she doesn't really talk about her emotions, and that she is good at hiding what she feels." Kara said.

"Then what do we do? Do we ask Peggy to talk to her? Or do we? Do we wait for Bobbi? Or would that make her feel cornered?" Maria asked. Again, Kara shrugged "don't know, why not talk to Peggy and Bobbi first before you do anything, who knows she may come to you soon" Kara said, Sharon and Maria didn't say anything to that.

Fifteen minutes later Skye came back, freshly showered, and in clean clothes, "hi, what are we having? I am famished" Skye said sitting down beside Kara, at the kitchen bar area watching Mara and Sharon cooking.

"fried chicken, with potatoes and vegetables" Maria answered, "are your neck sore?" Sharon asked when she noticed Skye massaging herself, "yeah a bit" Skye answered, "that is to be expected we have upped your training" Sharon said walking around to stand behind Skye, she nogged Skye's hand away and started to massage the sore space, "hmm" was the sound that came out of Skye's mouth.

Kara had turned around in her seat, and was about to say something, but was knocked down by Maria throwing at dich towel in her face, "how did you fall down from a chair by a dish towel?" Sharon asked when she had heard the thud and looked to her left to see what it was, only to spot Kara on the floor and a dish towel beside her.

"I don't know" Kara just said.

Maria and Sharon waited for Skye to be asleep, before calling Bobbi and Peggy who was with Tony and Pepper, they all agreed to wait until Bobbi was there to do anything and just wait.

Naturally, Tony and pepper had wanted to be the ones to talk to Skye but agreed that they didn't knew Skye that well and she wasn't that commutable with them as she was with Maria, Sharon and Bobbi

Finally, it was Sunday Bobbi was sitting next to May in the cockpit "Bobbi relax I can feel you buzzing" May said, and Bobbi couldn't figure out if may was amused or annoyed, "sorry Melinda, I just miss Skye" Bobbi said trying to calm down, "we will even be there ahead of time" May said.

Three hours later the Bus touched down at the Triskelion and Bobbi could barely restraining herself from running to the lair to wake Skye and probably Maria and Sharon too since she couldn't get into Sharon's area without Sharon's, Maria's or Peggy's consent.

May was watching Bobbi pace around the common area of the plane, they were waiting for Coulson to dismiss them, she had already called Sharon and told her they were there earlier then planed, which was good, considered it was the first of November in a few hours, she had asked Sharon if they had told Skye what the whole pack did that day, and Sharon said no, they had not told Skye anything, May could only shake her head to that.

When Coulson finely dismissed them the four wolves made the way to the lair, when they arrived, they could see they were the last, minus Skye.

"So, what is your plan? Go jump the kid?" Natasha with May at her side asked Maria, "something like that" Maria answered, "we think we will take Bob with us to wake her in an hour or so" Sharon who had Bobbi in tow said, in an odd tone in May's opinion, and apparently Natasha's to.

"Why did you say it like that?" Natasha asked, "something is bothering her, we think it has something to do with what we learned from Lumley" Bobbi answered for, "is she sleeping?" May asked, "yes and no, she is sleeping but not a good night sleep, and she is eating too" Maria answered both the asked question and the next she knew May or Natasha would ask, and by the smirk Natasha send her, Natasha knew it too.

"So we would like to wait a little longer to wake her, or begin to wake har" Sharon said, "ha you did a good job, a few days ago" Kara who had come over to them and heard the last part said, "only because I had bacon" Sharon defended, the small group of six laughed.

Skye was in her bed sleeping blissfully for a change, when someone jumped onto her bed and was shaking her. Skye shot up in a sitting position "what? what's happing" Skye asked looking around noticing Bobbi standing beside Maria, at the end of her bed both of them smirking, "Bobbi" Skye said smiling, and then looking or more like glaring at the blond beside her, "why did you jump me at,,,,,12,05 AM?" Skye asked after checking her clock at her nightstand.

"it is the first of November" Sharon just said, like it was the obvious thing in the world, "that still don't explain it" Skye grumbled, "there are only a month until it is December" Mara said, "what? But, I, huh" Skye said completely at lost for word.

"So, you woke me up just to say that? And if so, I am going to sleep again, goodnight you weirdoes" Skye said, laying down again pulling the cover over her head to block out the light from the lamp in the sealing and hallway.

The three older wolves and women looked at each other grinning, "oh no you don't, come on" Sharon said nodding Skye, "no sleep now" Skye just mumbled, trying to swat to offending hand away.

Suddenly the covers was pulled away from her and someone garbed her ankles and in what felt like one swift moment she was thrown over Marias shoulder, "hay, ah come on guys what the hell" Skye half yelled from her position at the two blondes walking behind Maria who was snickering at her.

She couldn't get down from Maria's shoulder and she knew that to two blondes wasn't going to help her, suddenly she was dumped on a big couch in the big common area and she saw every other wolf was there.

She saw Kara trying to contain her laughter but when Simmons and Fitz broke the silence, Kara couldn't hold it in any longer, and soon they were all either laughing or chuckling or in Maria, Bobbi and Sharon's coincidence just smirking.

Skye didn't see the humor in this, she had been rudely woken and dragged well caried out of her warm bed and into the shared are where every other wolf was, and the room was cold.

Peggy was the one who took mercy on her and pulled the attention towards herself, "hello everyone, Skye do you know why we are her?" Peggy asked, "no" Skye answered taking the blanked that was in the back on the couch and pulled it around her, and subconscious leaned against Bobbi who had sat down on her left side.

"Well in short we love Christmas and the mouth up to it" Peggy said, "but we are only in November" Skye said, "yes but we always meet to make plans for our December we spent it mostly together" Peggy said smiling, "but don't you all have work?" Skye asked not understanding, "yes, but Fury and Maria have made sure it is only paperwork we have to do in December no missions" Peggy answered.

"So, we are here to make plans for our December?" Skye asked just to be clear she understood, "yes, last year we took a trip to Alaska for five days and only spent it in our wolves form" Peggy said.

"but we do spent Christmas apart if we want" Maria said, knowing that Tony and Pepper would want to spent Christmas with Skye.

Skye just nodded she still didn't know why it had be in the middle of the night they had to make the plans.

It didn't take long until Skye had fallen asleep again, when Maria lifted Skye to carry her back to her bed, Skye only grumbled, much to the amusement of the other people in the room.

The next time Skye was awoken it was by Bobbi, Bobbi was much more gentle, "good morning, there is breakfast ready" Bobbi said, Skye sat up and yawned, "ugh could that meeting not have waited a few hours" Skye asked, Bobbi chuckled "it is a tradition" Bobbi answered walking with Skye out of her room, "who would, no I don't care" Skye decided.

Skye was told by Maria that Bobbi and Izzy was training with her today, since Kara was called away, and Skye did not like the look on either Bobbi's or Izzy's face, and not the ones she got from Maria and Sharon either.
