Chapter 9
Spoilers for Season 1 Episode 12
May's POV
After Skye had asked for a moment alone at the Academy I knew Phil had told her. Which had annoyed me because, I wanted to be the one that told her knowing that she would be upset. An hour after confronting Phil about telling Skye I had got us in the air and was looking for Skye, feeling the panic rise in my stomach when I couldn't find her.
"Where is Skye?" I ask Fitzsimmons and Ward, who were in the lab working on the night night gun. Since I was running out of places to look I needed conformation that she was on the plane.
"She want upstairs, she said she wasn't feeling well" Simmons said turning to face me while making a steering motion in front of her so the others couldn't see. I turned and walked out hearing Fitz ask Ward if Skye was in trouble or if they were going to have to warn Agent Coulson to hide his stash. I was already upstairs before I got to hear Ward's reply. Walking into the Cockpit I was relived to see Skye curled up on the seat she had claimed as her own. Walking closer I noticed she was shaking and crying. She looked up at me as I approached tears running down her cheeks.
"It's all my fault" she sobs putting her head in her hands. Not knowing what to say I pull her into a hug, adjusting myself so I was sitting next to her on the seat I hold her while she cries, like she had done for me the night before.
"None of this is your fault" I tell her after she had calmed down a little.
"Yes it is people died because, of me" she says her voice a whisper. " The Peterson's a-and an entire Village of pe-people and age-agents" she stutters out, crying again.
"Skye, you were a baby when this happened none of it is your fault" I tell her trying to get her to stop blaming herself. "I was the one that left you, its my fault"
"It's not your fault you didn't know what was happening" She says and I give her a look that says 'neither did you' rolling her eyes she says "but, they died protecting me. I know I couldn't stop them or anything but…" shaking her head she just looks out the window in front of us.
"Do you want to go watch a movie?" I ask knowing that she needs a distraction because, right now nothing I say will make her feel any better. When she just shrugs I say "We could ask Simmons to join us"
"Okay" she sighs giving me one last hug before getting up and leaving the cockpit to find Simmons.
Skye's POV
After watching movies with May and Simmons for hours I begin to feel a little better. Simmons and I are down in the lab working in silence. "Your lucky" Simmons suddenly says.
"What?" I ask completely confused about what she was talking about.
"You and May" she explains. "You have the Rory and Lorelai type of relationship. I never had that with either of my parents" she sighs.
"but, your parents got to raise you so I think that makes you a little luckier" I say although I really like that she compared our relationship to Gilmore Girls.
"Right, sorry" she mutters trying back to her work, but she spins around again. "But your Mum is the Calvary"
"Don't call her that" I say angrily as I hear someone yell WHAT from the lab door. Jumping up I clamp a hand over Fitz's mouth and close the doors. "Simmons get May" I say while forcing Fitz to sit down on a stool my hand still covering his mouth. Less then thirty seconds later May and Simmons come back into the lab.
"Who told him?" May snaps and I can feel Fitz flinch under my hand quickly removing my hand from his mouth I turn to face May biting my lip.
"He over heard us talking" I tell her nervously.
"So you decided to hold him hostage?" she smirks and I sigh relived that she is not mad.
"I panicked" I explained.
"What is going on?" Fitz asks glancing between the three of us. We all share a look before simultaneously sitting down and telling him everything, well almost everything.
"You, were kidnapped?" he asks me shocked. I just nod still not used to the fact that I was taken from my home that I didn't even know existed. "So this is a secret?" he asks and we all nod. "What about Agent Coulson does he know?" we all shake our heads. "Use words" he snaps at us.
"Yes Fitz, Skye was kidnapped, yes its a secret and no Agent Coulson doesn't know" Simmons tells him. Just as the plane goes through some turbulence.
"I better go check that" May says standing up and giving me a quick hug "try not to tell anyone else while I'm gone" she says sarcastically before leaving.
"I just saw the calvary give someone a hug, make a joke and smile" Fitz says holding a hand to his heart pretending to be shocked.
"Don't call her that" I snap at him. Annoyed that both him and Simmons had referred to her as that when they know she does not like it.
"Sorry" Fitz says sincerely then tilts his head back and forth "so if May is your mum, who is your dad?" he asks.
"Mission Briefing in five minutes" Ward tells us appearing at the door saving me from telling Fitz that I have no idea who my father is.
"Can I ask you something?" I ask May once we are the only ones left in the command centre.
"Of coarse, but quickly we need to leave soon" She smiles.
"Well when I was talking to Fitz and he asked but I didn't know and" I bite my lip nervously as she just stands there patiently. "Who is my dad?" I ask, and the smile on her face instantly fades and May disappears as Agent May takes her place.
"You don't need to know that" she says letting no emotion into her voice. Confused by her response I ask her why not. "We can talk about this later Skye" she says turning to leave.
"No, we wouldn't" I snap "its impossible to talk to the calvary about anything" I say and instantly regret it when I hear her intake of breath. "Wait, no, I'm sorry thats not what I meant" I say beginning to follow her to her bunk but, Fitzsimmons jumps in front of me.
"Skye, come on you need to get ready" Simmons says pushing me back towards my bunk.
"No, I have to talk to May and apologize" I say trying to push past them "I didn't mean to call her that"
"You can talk to her later" Fitz says "go get ready we have an six month anniversary train trip thing to take"
"Yeah, Skye we can't miss the train" Simmons says opening the door and pushing me into my bunk.
