A Different Mission.
They had all thought that the mission would be easy, but they would all be wrong. Just as the team was about to leave, Skye had gotten this strange feeling. But she decided to shake it off and focus on the mission.
The mission was simple; they would investigate an 0-8-4. (Object of unknown origin.)They arrived at the location where the 0-8-4 had been reported. Once they had arrived, the team had been divided two and two. Mack and May, Coulson, and Tripp. While Fitz, Simmons, and Skye had stayed behind on the bus.
"I should be out in the field, not stuck on the bus." Skye sighed.
"You are still recovering from our last mission, Skye. You're more helpful on the bus right now." Simmons told her while looking at the computer.
" I know, it's just that I'm used to being out in the field now." Skye told her.
"And you will be back in the field once you're healed." Simmons told her.
"Yeah, I know Simmons." Skye said.
A few hours went by, without hearing from the team and Skye started to worry.
"Weren't the team supposed to check-in like an hour ago?" Skye asked.
"They're probably just busy. You know what our missions are." Fitz answered her.
" Yeah, probably. I'll go grab something to eat." Skye told them and made her way to the kitchen.
A while later Jemma came running into the conference room where Skye was.
"Skye." She said, panicked.
"Jemma, what's wrong?" Skye asked, knowing something had happened.
"It's Coulson; he's been shot. They're taking him to the nearest hospital. We should go."Jemma told her.
"No, this is not happening. I can't lose him too." Skye said while starting to panic.
"Skye, we really should go."Jemma told her while grabbing her hand.
"I can't lose him." Skye said repeatedly.
Jemma, Fitz, and Skye arrived at the hospital and found the others standing outside of the emergency room.Skye couldn't help herself, she walked right past the others and the doctors and straight to Coulson.
"Coulson, I'm right here. You fight, you hear me? You fight." Skye told him between the sobs.
"Skye?" Coulson asked, confused.
"Yeah, it's me. I'm right here." Skye answered him.
"Skye."
"I love you, A.C. Please fight, I need you to fight." Skye told him.
"Miss, you have to leave." One of the doctors said.
"I can't leave him." Skye said while still holding on to Phil's hand.
"You have to leave. You can come back later once we have him settled." The doctor told him.
"Skye, he'll be alright." May told her.
"Fine. You fight A.C, you hear me?" Skye told him before leaving the room.
Once she had made it into the waiting area, she turned to the others.
"What happened out there?" Skye asked them.
"The 0-8-4 turned out differently than we thought. He turned out to be more violent than we had expected, and he turned around and shot Coulson." May answered.
"Coulson tried to talk him down, but he failed. The guy didn't even hesitate before shooting." Mack continued.
Three hours passed before they heard anything about Coulson. Once the doctor came out, Skye stood up and asked.
"How is he?" Skye asked, afraid of the answer.
"The bullet missed his heart by just a few millimeters. He'll be in the ICU for a few days." The Doctor answered.
"Can I see him?" Skye asked.
"Sure, he's still sedated, but you can see him." The doctor answered.
"Can I come to Skye?" May asked with tears in her eyes.
"We both should be the first thing that he sees when he wakes up," Skye answered her.
"He's in room 321 on the third floor." The doctor told them.
"Thanks, Skye." May thanked her.
They walked towards the elevators and went up to the third floor and walked towards Phil's room.They walked into the room and saw him lying there. They sat down on the two chairs that stood beside the bed opposite each other.
"He hasn't scared me like this since New York," May said.
"I never thought I would feel this way, you are my family. Coulson is the father I never had." Skye told her.
"He thinks of you as his daughter. You and I are the closest thing to family that Phil has." May told her while grabbing Phil's hand.
"You love him, don't you?" Skye asked.
"I do, we have never really talked about it but I do." May answered her.
"I can tell the way you are around each other." Skye told her.
"I have always loved him. We have talked about seeing where things go. Maybe have a relationship." May told her.
"You should do it, he loves you and you love him May." Skye told her while looking at Coulson.
"It's something I have always wanted." May said.
"So give it a chance. You two belong together May." Skye told her.
"He told me something after you got shot that he would do anything to prevent that from ever happen again. You mean everything to him." May told her while looking at Phil.
"I don't know what I would do without him. He showed me what it was like to be loved and believed in." Skye said while drying her tears.
"Skye?" Coulson asked tiredly.
"I'm here Phil. Melinda here's too."Skye answered him while holding grabbing his hand.
"Where am I?" Phil asked.
"You're in the hospital, you got shot on the mission." May told him.
"I don't remember it." Phil said quietly.
"It's normal Phil, you've been through a traumatic thing." Melinda told him while sitting down.
"How long was I unconscious?" Phil asked while he tried to get up.
"Coulson, you need to lay down. You got shot, the bullet missed your heart by a few millimeters." Skye told him while standing up.
"You scared us Phil, you haven't scared me like this since New York." May told him while tearing up.
"I'm sorry for scaring you both." Phil apologized.
"Just don't do it again, please?" Skye told him.
"I'll try. Now when can I get out of here?"Phil asked.
"As soon as the doctors clears you."Melinda told him.
What will happen when Phil gets out of the hospital?
