The next morning, Kyle stepped out of his room in the penthouse suite that his Aunt Lily, Dad and Skye were sharing with him and sat down at the table. He pulled out his phone and started to text his aunt Lisa.

Ever since finding out that she had only sent him to live with his dad because of the prophecy and his part in it, they had been talking again; although there was still some tension between him and the woman that had raised him.

'I saw who killed Sue but if I tell anybody, my family will be in trouble. I don't know what to do, Aunt Lisa.'

'Kyle, your Aunts are two of the most powerful witches that have come out of that curse. It was for a reason. They are needed to train the baby that is coming. They will protect your family.'

Before Kyle could responds, the door to his dad's and Skye's room opened and his father stepped out, looking exhausted.

He had heard Skye screaming and had overheard the nightmare she'd had. It had him worried because Coulson and Melinda May still wanted Skye to come back to Shield and wouldn't put it past them to take her away, especially if they found out about exactly what the prophecy was.

"Good morning son."

"Good morning, Dad. You look like you need to sleep a little bit longer."

"I have to go back to the farm with Michael after we talk to the police. Judge Monroe is being very understanding but I still need to finish my sentence and keep on my best behavior. He could easily throw me in jail where I belong. The only reason I am getting this chance to still have some freedom while doing my time is because my last name is Ward and nobody wants to take on Aunt Lily," Grant resignedly commented as he sat down on the plush white couch next to his son.

"Dad, she is trying help you in the best way she can after finding out that Grandma sold you to that Garrett asshole."

Grant turned stern eyes onto his son at the word he had just used and watched as the boy's face turned red as he realized what had come out of his mouth.

"I'm sorry, Dad. I know how you feel about me cussing. It is just that is the only way I can describe that man. He took money for making your life a living hell," Kyle explained. "Yes, you made some very bad choices but there were extenuating circumstances. Now if you go back to Hydra and start killing people again, that's on you."

"I'm just glad that I was able to talk Kara out of going after Morse for her part in what happened to her; for a time she wasn't very stable and wanted to kidnap and torture her in retaliation."

Kyle gaped at his father in shock because he hadn't heard about this. He heard his father curse under his breath.

"You didn't know about that? I thought with your love of eavesdropping, you would have overheard mine and Kara's conversations about that."

"No, I think it was while I was grounded for being hateful to Agent Simmons."

Father and son continued to talk, unaware of Skye sitting there inside the door to hers and Grant's room, her fists clenched in anger. The room started to shake as she processed the new piece of information about what had happened to Kara.

As she stepped out of the room, wearing a white hotel robe over her pajamas, Skye saw that both Kyle and Grant were watching her warily. Her temper was on full blown boil and it was taking everything she could to control the slight vibrations shaking the room.

"How was Bobbi responsible for what happened to Kara?"

Grant cringed at the hardness in her voice. The only time he had heard her like that had been when she had come to see him in Vault D. He had hated being the recipient of that look and knew that if he told her the truth, Bobbi Morse might want to be careful.

"Grant Douglas, I want you to remember what you promised the first time I came to see you in Vault D because what you say next determines whether or not we share a room when we get back to the farm."

He knew that she was serious with that statement and quickly told her how Bobbi, while undercover with Hydra, had given up the location of the safe house where Kara had been hiding after the fall of Shield. How she had even watched some of the things Daniel Whitehall had put Kara through and hadn't done a thing to rescue her when they had pulled Jemma out of Hydra.

The sound of the bedroom door slamming was all that Grant heard before he got up and followed her.

"Wish me luck, son."

"Good luck, dad. You're going to need it; although I wouldn't want to be Agent Morse or Director Coulson right now, especially if he knew about it."

"I agree, kid," he stated. "I want that essay done for your performing arts school application before you and Elena do anything else. Is that understood?"

"Yes sir."

Kyle sat aside his phone that he had still been holding onto and lifted up his laptop. He started to type at a steady pace. He focused on that instead of the hell that was about to break loose. When Skye was that mad, there was going to be hell to pay.


Lily sat with Louise down in the restaurant of the hotel, eating breakfast and waiting for the young man that her niece had told her about. As soon as she had seen the man's face in Louise's subconscious, she had known who he was.

"There he is."

Lily looked in the direction that Louise was staring at and felt her heart sink. It was the man from Skye's nightmare, Lincoln Campbell. If Skye or Grant saw him, it wasn't going to be pretty.

Lily had a feeling that Cal knew why the man was here and it was time to start getting some answers to the secrets he kept so buried deep, her powers couldn't access them.

"Samantha Louise, I am going to talk to Cal; keep an eye on Mr. Campbell and don't let him anywhere near Skye."

"Don't call me that, I hate my first name."

"I know and that is why I said you full name. That is how important it is that Lincoln Campbell be kept away from Skye for the time being."

Suspicion filled Louise's dark eyes as she glared at her Aunt.

"What aren't you telling me?"

"Skye had a nightmare last night about an alternate universe where she is in a relationship with that young man and Coulson murdered your brother in a very cruel manner."

Louise saw it from the connection she had to her Aunt and while every part of her wanted to kick Phil Coulson's ass, she knew that this Coulson shouldn't pay for the crimes of another version of him.

She got up and walked over to Lincoln, who had sat at one of the tables a few tables away. She sat down across from him, a polite smile that her Gramsy had taught her to use.

"I want to apologize about my attitude last night. I was not in the best of moods," Louise sweetly said, inwardly groaning at how fake she sounded.

"I heard about the murder that took place at you family's party so I can understand that, Miss Ward."

"Call me, Louise. Miss Ward makes me sound old and ancient."

"I'm Lincoln; it's nice to meet you."

Louise realized that the man in front of her was very handsome but wouldn't be swayed by his charm. He was at least ten years younger than her.

"Nice to meet you, Lincoln, now do you want to tell me why you are following me?"

Lincoln gaped at her before grinning at her. His smile lit up his face.

"I wasn't being very subtle, was I?"

"No, you weren't. It also doesn't help that you also conveniently showed up at breakfast the same time as I did."

"I was ordered to follow you because my Boss wants information on your brother's girlfriend."

"So why don't you follow Skye and not me?"

Louise couldn't understand why following her would be important to this man's boss.

"Your brother's skills would make it very difficult to get close to her. Grant Ward could kick my ass despite my own abilities. Even my boss knows from their own sources that getting close to Skye isn't going to be easy."

"I know that Cal is the one telling your boss everything," Louise smirked as Lincoln started and knew that her wild guess had just been confirmed. She leaned closer and whispered quietly in his ear, enjoying the shiver as her breath hit his skin. "My aunt Lily is on her way to have a conversation with Cal and she has her ways of finding out what she wants. She is the most powerful of the witches in our family that has been born."

"You're witches," Lincoln's voice came out in a high squeak.

"Yep, so you can imagine if Skye has the latest witch in our family curse and combined with her inhuman DNA, how powerful that child will be?"

Louise then stood up and walked away, smirking wickedly and thinking, 'I wonder how fast he contacts his boss.'


Skye went storming down the hall, Grant right behind her as she made it to the room that Bobbi Morse was sharing with Lance Hunter and Jemma. She started to pound on the door, almost shaking it off of its frame until Jemma answered the door, wearing a hotel robe.

"What's wrong, Skye?"

"Where's Morse?"

Jemma took in the tightness in her friend's voice and knew that something had happened to make Skye very angry at Bobbi.

"She's still asleep. Lance never came back to the room last night. I think they had a fight or something."

"Or maybe he found out that Bobbi was the reason that Kara was taken and brainwashed by Hydra."

Jemma was shocked at Skye snapping at her and took a step back.

"That can't be true, Skye."

"I overheard a conversation between Grant and Kyle and before you go saying that 'Ward is a liar and we can't trust him', he knows that lying to me isn't a very good idea," Skye fiercely stated before storming past Jemma and into the hotel suite.

"Get out here, Morse!"


AN: In this story, Skye has gotten to know Kara and thinks of her as a friend so in this case, she is going to be very pissed off on her behalf.

I know I hinted at a Lincoln and Louise hookup but I don't know if I will go that route. I might do a time jump in a few chapters and get into the Christmas season.

Still mad as hell about the mid-season finale but plan to take it out on giving Grant Ward and Skyeward the ending they should have had. I am also thinking of solving the murder mystery pretty quickly and move onto putting the focus back on Skyeward.
