Chapter 11
Skye's POV
Spoilers Season 1 Episode 15
"Are you okay?" I ask May as soon as she walks in to the med pod.
"I'm fine" she says quickly sitting next to me on the bed "I can handle Ward" she tells me but does not sound convinced.
"I know you can, but thats not what I meant" I say.
"I am fine I told you Ward and I were nothing serious" she's says staring down at her hands but it sounds like she trying to convince her self not me.
"Okay, but you can talk to me" I say bumping my shoulder against hers and try to hide a wince.
"Are you okay?" she instantly starts panicking.
"I'm fine. I just moved the wrong way" I lie hoping that it would stop her from going to get Simmons, like she did last time. "Have you talked to Coulson yet?" I ask changing the subject.
"No, he won't talk to me" She says looking back down at her hands again. "I told him to talk to you" she mumbles.
"What why? Don't you need to talk to him so you can talk to the Fury" I ask.
"It's more important that we find out what Phil knows because it might affect you" she says.
"Are you still wearing your comm?" I ask her and she just nods confused "Hide it somewhere" I tell her opening up my laptop. She hides the comm before sitting back down next to me and looks over my shoulder at what i'm typing on screen.
"Can you translate all that for me?" She asks pointing at the screen.
"I am making sure no one can listen to that comm except you" I say as I continue typing "If Coulson comes to talk to me you can listen to what he's saying from the cockpit" I explain before she can ask. We sit in silence for a few minutes before their is a knock on the window.
"Hey A.C whats up?" I say trying to act normal.
"I need to talk to you about something" he says seriously. "May what are doing here?" He ask.
"Simmons asked me to fill Skye in on what happened with Sif" She lies and gets up and heads towards the door.
"Yeah, thanks M" I say and she turns to look at me.
"M?" Coulson asks.
"Yeah, May is to long and A.M dose not sound good and neither does M.M. So I went with M because it works for both names" I explain hoping that she knew I meant Mum and not Melinda the small smile she gave me before leaving told me she did.
"So A.C what did you want to talk about?" I ask making him turn away from glaring at the door that M had walked out of.
May's POV
Well that is not what I was expecting. The origin of the drug was Alien, I let my newly found daughter get injected with an Alien drug. I even knew that this drug might have side effects. Letting out a sigh I get up and head back down to Skye not believing that she was okay with this.
"Skye, sit down before you hurt yourself" I cried when I found her pacing the length of the med pod.
"I'm fine. This hurts less then a panic attack would" she snaps continuing to pace back and forth. She lets out a painful sigh, before stoping and lowering herself on to the bed. "Sorry for snapping I'm just freaked out" she says guiltily, looking up at me.
"It's fine. You didn't sound freaked out when you were talking to Phil" I say sitting next to her and wrapping an arm around her. She just shrugs and leans into me dropping her head on to my shoulder.
"He was freaking out, enough for both of us" She mumbles out.
"That does not mean that you don't get to have your own freak out session" I tell her.
"I did, I was pacing" she says tiredly and I laugh at her idea of freaking out.
"So…" I sigh not knowing what to say.
"Did Fury tell you what the side effects of the drug could be?" She asks with a hint of fear in her voice.
"Nope, just told me to keep an eye on Phil" I tell her wishing that I knew more. "I'm sorry its my fault you got injected with it. I knew it could hurt you and I chose to let it happen anyway" I say sadly "Another wrong choice" I mumble.
"I was pretty much dead without it so I think giving it to me was a pretty good choice." She tells me "but, you know thats just my personal opinion" she adds sarcastically.
"I guess when you put it like that it was a good choice even with the possible negative outcomes" I say knowing that any negative side effects that come out of this will be better then the alternative. After a few minutes without a reply I realize that she is asleep. Moving her so she is comfortable on the bed I pull up her blanket before moving away but, her hand flies out and grabs the bottom of my shirt.
"Please don't go, mum" she mumbles out in her sleep. After a few minutes of internal debate I lie down next to her. She moves close and I put my arm around her again realizing how young she looks when she is asleep.
