Chapter 17
Spoilers Season 1
Skye's POV
I wake up to a loud beeping noise and groan why is there an alarm clock going off, I don't even have an alarm clock. Wait, is my pillow moving…sitting up I see M staring at me with a smirk on her lips. I jump back across the bed almost falling off. "Sorry" I say.
"It's fine" she says getting up and pulling the blankets around her self. I don't say anything still embarrassed about the night before I just pull my knees up to my chest and curl myself into a ball. "You do that a lot" M says and I look up at her as she stares back at me her head tilted to one side.
"Do what?" I ask confused.
"Curl up in to a ball" I just nod and look away biting my lip. "Are you really leaving me to make the conversation here?" she sighs.
"I'm sorry about last night" I mumble.
"Don't be. I'm sure most of us had trouble sleeping last night" she says getting up and reaching for her phone. I open my mouth to disagree but she cuts me of "Daisy" I snap my mouth closed again. "I have to make a call but, do you want to do Tai Chi after" she asks I just nod and head towards the door.
"Mum" I say and turn to face her she gives me a small to to continue "Thank you" I say before leaving the room.
A few hours later after Tai Chi and breakfast which I had to take to the med pod for Simmons because she wouldn't leave Fitz. Coulson had called Trip, M and I into his office. "Wow, AC where are all your toys?" I ask but he just ignore's me and starts talking to Trip and M asking if any of them know any trustworthy agents. I sit in a chair awkwardly not knowing why I was asked to come.
"Okay, Skye" Coulson says looking at the papers in front of him "How would you feel about being trained as a field agent?" he says not looking directly at me.
"I thought I already had been training to become a field agent?" I say and he still does not look at me.
"You didn't seem to be getting very far training with him" Ouch that hurt I think before he continues "I was thinking that Trip could be your S.O" He says looking up at Trip while I tried to come up with an excuse as to why that might not work out.
"I don't know if that would be a good idea, sir" Trip says saving me "I haven't trained anyone before and I myself haven't had much experience myself" he says and Coulson looks frustrated.
"We don't have any other field agents that could train her" Coulson says. Trip and I both fidget around in our chairs neither of us had seen much of this side of Coulson.
"Excuse me" M says and Coulson and her share one of there silent conversations.
"Okay, then Skye you can start training with May tomorrow" he says looking at me for the first time with a blank expression. "You and Agent Triplett are dismissed"
"Lucky you getting trained by the Calvary" Trip says we walk out of the office.
"Don't call her that" I snap glaring at him.
"Okay, sorry" he says taking a step back and lifting his hands over his head. "I see she already taught you her glare"
"Sorry, she doesn't like it when people call her that" I tell him not meaning to have snapped but I was worried that I had done something to upset Coulson.
"Okay, it won't happen again" He says as we walk towards the med pods "So what did you do to Coulson?" he asks.
"I have no idea" I sigh directing my attention to getting Simmons to leave the room for a while.
May's POV
"Could you have been more obvious?" I snap at Coulson as soon as Skye closes the door.
"What?" he asks.
"Skye, is going to know something is wrong you wouldn't even look at her" I snap annoyed at him. I had been trying to decide what to tell Skye or even if I should tell her that Coulson had started to show side affects.
"She probably didn't notice" he says defending himself.
"Yes she will…." I'm cut off when a phone ring and Coulson answers it and begins talking to who ever it is.
"May" he says stoping me before I walk out of the door "Don't tell her about it. That's an order" he says and I walk out of the room.
"I'll tell my daughter whatever I want too" I mutter under my breath as I make my way towards the gym. Starting on the punching bag, what am I going to tell her? I think, feeling myself begin to panic so I stop to control my breathing. I can't tell her about this, I sigh leaning my head on the punching back. She can't even sleep right now, knowing this is just going to make things worse but, if she finds out I knew and didn't tell her she will be mad. I just groan pulling off the tape from my hands, that I don't remember putting on in the first place, and heading towards the med pod guessing that's where I'll find her.
"Where is Simmons?" I asked shocked to find Skye in the med pod alone with Fitz reading a book "Why are you reading a book?"
"I kicked her out" she says glancing up at Fitz before looking back at her book and finishing the page and closing it. "Trip went to make her some food and make sure she gets some real rest"
"And, she just left?" I ask shocked both Coulson and I had tried last night but she had refused.
"I may have guilted her into it but she needed it" She says still looking at Fitz.
"Okay" I say sitting into the seat next to her "and the book" I ask because I don't think I had ever seen her with a book before.
"Really, I can't read a book without you being surprised" she says rolling her eyes. I pick up the book from her lap and am surprised to see that it is one of the manuals from The Bus.
"Billy got it for me. I didn't know if Fitz could hear or not and I know the noise of me typing annoys him" she mutter her eyes still on Fitz. "Oh, I forgot to ask how does Billy know that you are my Mum" she asks and I'm guessing she is trying to distract herself from worrying about Fitz.
"I asked Nick and he said that Billy was one of the agents that helped look for you" I say, I had been shocked when Billy had told he that he knew about Daisy.
"He asked me what name I wanted to put in the system" she says with a small smile on her lips but she hadn't looked away from Fitz.
"What did you tell him?" I ask.
"Skye, but that one day I might change it" she says and I can't help but grin when I realize that she might want to change her name to the one I gave her. "Simmons you still have half an hour before I am letting you back in here" she says and I turn to see Simmons at the door, shocked that I didn't hear her coming but Skye did.
"Skye" Simmons whines looking at Fitz with tears in her eyes.
"Did Trip find your tea?" Skye asks getting up and standing in front of Simmons.
"No, we keep it in the lab and I… I can't go in there" Simmons answers and more tears poor down her face.
"I'll go get it and bring it to you" Skye says leading her over to the seat beside Fitz. Before walking out the door I quickly follow not knowing how to act in front of a crying Simmons.
Skye's POV
"Did I do something to upset Coulson?" I ask M who had been following me to the lab.
"No I don't think so why?" She answers walking up along side me.
"I just thought he had been acting weird earlier in his office" I say because I had been going over everything in my head but I couldn't think of anything I had done wrong.
"He is just nervous about being the new Director. It's not just the six of us doing our own thing anymore" she says and i'm not sure why but I have the feeling that she is hiding something from me. "So meet in the gym at 5 tomorrow?" M says and then quickly walks out of the room before I can try and negotiate a different time.
"She better mean 5pm" I mutter under my breath as I pour Simmons some tea.
