Hi guys, sorry for uploading a bit late. I try to post at least a week and mainly on mondays but I don't always have the time.
Anyways, I hope you like this chapter. Sorry for any spelling and/or grammar mistakes.
Skye slowly opened her eyes. She looked down at her watch but realised that it had broken in the earthquake
The earthquake that had left Trip in pieces
The earthquake that I caused.
Bobbi's arm was slung lazily across the brunette's chest. Skye slipped her hand into Bobbi's and the blonde hummed in her sleep. Skye smiled at her and rubbed her thumb around her hand. She tilted her head and kissed Bobbi's forehead, before gently removing the blonde's arm from her chest. She sat up and realised how hungry she was.
She had to climb over Bobbi to get off the bed as she was on the side that was pushed against the wall. The brunette stood up on the bed and swung her leg over the blonde. Bobbi shifted in her sleep and Skye nearly fell off the bed on her face. She regained her balance then stepped over the blonde with her other leg. She jumped onto the floor and cringed at the loud noise she'd made. The young agent looked over at the other woman to see if she'd woken her. Bobbi just sighed in her sleep then turned over. Skye smirked, then tiptoed out of the room
Skye walked into the kitchen and looked up at the clock. 5:36.
She walked over to the fridge and quietly opened it. She pulled out the milk then walked over to the cupboard. She got out the box of lucky charms. The brunette poured the cereal into a bowl and poured the milk over it. A spoon was placed in the bowl; she walked over to the counter, sat on a stool and began to eat in silence.
When she was finished, she pushed the bowl away from her, folded her arms on the table and nestled her head into them.
There's something wrong with me, I'm different. The obelisk somehow changed me. I don't know how, but I know I caused the earthquake in the city. Bobbi said she'll be there for me no matter what, but there's no way she will stick around if she finds out what I am.
Skye was snapped out of her thoughts by footsteps coming from the hallway. Then "Skye?"
The brunette looked up to see May standing in the doorway.
"Hey" the younger woman said
"You're up early" the older agent pointed out
"I was hungry" Skye motioned to the now empty bowl.
May saw the box of lucky charms that were sitting on the counter. "You know how much sugar's in those?" she raised an eyebrow.
Skye shrugged with her eyes focused on the counter.
May frowned "What's up?"
Skye shook her head "Nothing"
May raised her eyebrows
"May, really it's nothing"
May was onto her already. Skye knew she couldn't keep this secret for long. If May didn't drag it out of her, Bobbi probably would.
"Skye, I've told you, you can talk to me" May told the young woman
Skye huffed and got up to put her bowl in the sink, the milk in the fridge and the cereal back in the cupboard. As she closed the cupboard, she felt May's hand on her wrist. Skye turned to look at May and she had to hold back the tears that were beginning to form.
The senior agent looked at Skye's wrist "Where's your bio meter watch?"
"It broke… in the quake"
May looked her in the eyes, silently pleading with her to talk to her, pleading with her to let her help.
"May, honestly, I'm fine" Skye lied as she squirmed her wrist free of May's grip. "I'm gonna go get in the shower" she walked quickly to the door
"Skye" May called out from behind her. Skye sighed but slowly turned back around "If you're not gonna talk to me, at least talk to Bobbi; she worries about you"
"I know" the brunette replied before hurrying out of the room
Skye crept back into her bunk and pulled some clothes out of the bag that she'd packed before the mission. She pulled out some grey pants and a black shirt then spotted Bobbi's black tank top hanging out of the blonde's bag. She smiled up at Bobbi who was still fast asleep, left her own shirt on the floor then quickly plucked the tank top out of Bobbi's bag.
The brunette knew she'd get a lecture for it later, but she also knew that Bobbi secretly loved her in the tank top.
Bobbi sighed and turned over to wrap her arm around Skye. Her arm fell on an empty space in the bed. Bobbi sat up instantly. She looked around the room, looking for any signs of the brunette. She sighed in relief when she saw Skye's black top lying on the floor. She smiled when she saw that the tank top she'd left at the top of her bag was gone.
The blonde swung her legs over the side of the bed and stretched her arms above her head. She stood up and took off the mission top that she'd fallen asleep in. She plucked her star wars shirt out of her bag and threw it on. She put on a pair of blue jeans then walked out of the room.
She knew Skye liked to shower before doing anything else so she headed to the shower room to catch the brunette in her tank top when she walked out.
The blonde only had to wait five minutes before the shower room door opened and Skye walked out using a towel to quickly dry her hair.
Bobbi stepped out in front of her; Skye yelped and jumped back.
"Oh my God, Bobbi you scared me" Skye had her hand to her chest, trying to catch her breath.
Bobbi folded her arms and smirked at the brunette.
"What?" Skye said
Bobbi kept her arms folded and flicked her eyes down to the tank top. Skye looked down at it and realised what Bobbi was looking at.
The brunette smiled sweetly and tried to look innocent "Oh, was this your shirt? I saw it on the floor and thought it was mine" she smirked
"No you didn't. I had it in my bag" Bobbi replied
"Oh, my bad. Do you want it back?" Skye smirked and playfully went to pull the top over her head, right in the middle of the hallway. Bobbi quickly pulled it back down and shook her head in mock disapproval.
Skye straightened the top and smirked at Bobbi. "You know you love me in this"
Bobbi licked her lips then quickly pushed Skye back into the shower room. Once inside, Bobbi pressed Skye against the wall and pressed their lips together. The blonde's hand found the bottom of the tank top and she begun to pull it up over Skye's head. Skye pushed Bobbi away and smirked as she pulled the top back down.
"We're at work Barbara, be professional." Skye teased
Bobbi smirked at the brunette and held her hands up in surrender. "Whatever you say sweetheart"
Skye smirked back at her "Love the star wars shirt by the way"
"Well I was gonna wear my tank top, but when I woke up it was gone" Bobbi smiled.
"Ah what a shame" Skye pretended to look sympathetic "I bet whoever has it must look really sexy" she smirked
"Oh yeah, they do. Really sexy" the blonde replied
Skye leaned in and kissed Bobbi. The brunette felt the smile forming on Bobbi's lips as she was pushed away
"I thought we were being professional" Bobbi smirked
"I forgot to mention that I can't be professional" Skye pressed herself against Bobbi and wrapped her arms around her neck. Bobbi lowered her hands to Skye's hips, pressed her lips against the brunette's and kissed her passionately.
Suddenly the shower room door swung open and Simmons strolled in with a towel under her arm and some clothes in her hand.
"Oh god" she said as she spotted them. She backed up and walked into the door. Her cheeks turned rosy red and she started to stammer "I- I- I'll just" she pointed at the door "I'm gonna go" she quickly turned and left the room.
Skye burst out laughing and Bobbi playfully slapped her arm, but the blonde couldn't help the smile that spread across her face.
After the events of the shower room, Bobbi and Skye had gone to apologise to Simmons, who had blushed and said that it was fine.
Everyone on the team now knew that Skye and Bobbi were soul mates. They'd either figured it out due to Skye and Bobbi sharing a bunk or they'd been told by the people who'd figured it out.
Bobbi had then gone to get some breakfast but Skye had stayed in the lab with Simmons, who wanted to run some tests on her. Skye had reluctantly agreed to this.
Simmons had finished her tests and had gone to start on something that Coulson had asked her to do. Skye was sitting on the table, waiting for her test results, in the med bay when Fitz ran in.
"Hey Fitz, what's up?" Skye looked at the Scotsman and pushed herself up off the table.
He paused and glanced at his feet "Fixed your bio meter watch. Checked your vitals at the time of the temple collapse" he paused "Your heart rate was recorded at almost 300 BPM" he looked down at his shoes
Skye froze and tried to keep her cool "Wow, that- that's very fast"
"No" he shook his head "That's inhuman"
Skye started to panic.
"Thought the readings were a mistake, that I put the thing together wrong."
Skye sat back down on the table and Fitz began to pace in front of her.
"I've been struggling to erm- to err- to-" he slammed his hands together in frustration "Something wrong with the data in my head"
"What are you saying?" Skye asked
"So I was thinking that the heart rate monitor shattered from the inside out, but it was still on your wrist when we found you, that doesn't make sense" he looked at her "And how we found you, basically unharmed in the collapse, with destruction all around you" he began to get frustrated. The young agent sighed and covered his face with his hand.
Skye could feel herself shaking. She looked over at one of the counter, the glasses were shaking too. The glasses clinked together. She panted and started spinning out of control. She looked around with fearful eyes. She was losing control
"I thought I was losing my mind all over again" Fitz's voice cracked "That there was something wrong. So it took a while to dawn on me, or maybe I was just afraid to think it. You survived the destruction because you caused it"
"No" Skye got up and took a step towards him, he backed up "No, no, no Fitz"
"Raina wasn't the only one changed in there."
"No, no" Skye murmured
"And I'm pretty sure the DNA tests we're running right now are going to confirm it. There's nothing wrong with the data in my head Skye"
"No, no" Skye's voice got louder. She lifted her hands to her head and raked her fingers into her hair. She dug her nails into her head and walked around the table.
"There's something wrong with you"
"No" Skye screamed, she dug her nails deeper into her skin and let out a moan. The lamp beside her began to flicker. She screamed as it shattered into pieces. The shards of glass flying everywhere.
Fitz gasped and backed up. He looked at her and the lamp in shock; grabbed his tablet then ran out of the lab.
Skye looked around her in horror.
Fitz knew. He knew
The glass shards were everywhere.
What have I just done?
She bent down and began to hastily pick up the shards of the lamp
The team will find out what I am. Bobbi will find out what I am. A monster.
She felt one of the shards cut her hand and she winced in pain. The brunette looked down at her hand and saw the blood covering it. She grabbed a cloth from the side and pressed it against her palm.
She heard footsteps from outside. She sprang to her feet as the lab door swung open. The brunette hid her bloody hands behind her back as May entered.
"Hey" the older woman smiled at the young hacker.
"Hey" Skye replied
"Have you been in here all day?" the older woman asked
"Most of the day" Skye said quietly as she shifted nervously on her feet. She looked down at her feet, keeping her gaze away from May.
"You doing okay?" May noticed the girl looked like a deer in the headlights
Skye opened her mouth trying to think of an excuse "Err- yeah, yeah. Just feeling a little worn out over all these tests"
May didn't seem convinced by this but she played along anyway "Yeah, but they're for your own good; they'll be over soon anyway"
"Yeah, I know. Maybe I just need a hug" Skye put on a fake smile "It just seems like everyone's so tense lately, we're all on edge"
"We're all just having a hard time. After losing Trip, and Raina becoming whatever she is, we're all just a bit shaken up"
"Yeah, I guess. But Bobbi, she's tense, I can feel it. She tries to put on a brave face and make jokes and pretend like everything's okay, but it's not. Bobbi's keeping something from me, and it's eating away at her. Mack and Coulson seem like they want to hit each other all the time and Coulson just seems so cut throat." Skye said
"Yeah, I've rarely seen him like this either. He's had to go visit Trip's mother to tell her." May paused "For Coulson, Trip was the embodiment of what he wanted shield to stand for. Compassion, loyalty, heart, and that is shield's strength. And Trip's death reminded Coulson, that HYDRA doesn't have that. That is their weakness." May told the younger woman. "And about Bobbi, I know that she's hiding something, I intend to find out what it is"
Skye walked round to the front of the table. May noticed something red on Skye's hands. She closed the distance between them "Are you bleeding?" she asked as she put a hand on the woman's bicep.
"We should have the DNA results back any minute now" Simmons said as she strolled in. May released Skye's arm. "Once we know there's nothing wrong, we'll be done with all the tests" the young scientist smiled.
May looked at Skye and the brunette avoided the older woman's gaze.
Simmons's smile faded "Something's wrong?" she questioned
Skye sighed then put her hands out in front of her "Err…" she was unsure of what to say but May beat her to it
"What the hell happened?" the senior agent asked, concerned
Skye started to panic again. She didn't know how to answer the question. Simmons and May were looking at her with concern on their faces.
"Skye" May questioned when she didn't answer.
Skye's breathing started to pick up and she felt tears pricking at her vision "Fitz- Fitz" she stuttered
"Fitz was a klutz again" the engineer finished for her when he walked in. "Uh, she's cleaning up the mess. Sorry, it was my fault. I knocked over the lamp when I was taking a sample of Skye's blood. I guess my coordination could still use work" he motioned to his hands "But I was anxious to double check the results." He handed his tablet to Simmons "Her DNA is an exact match to what it was before. She's clear."
"Oh thank god" Simmons breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the hacker.
"I'm gonna call Coulson, he could use some good news" May smiled at her "You alright?" she raised an eyebrow at her
Skye smiled and sighed in relief "Yeah" she nodded. She looked at Fitz warily and he nodded at her.
"Erm, Skye is your bunk made" Fitz said
Skye was unsure of why he was asking but she said "Err, no. No it's a mess."
"Err, maybe you could get her some clean sheets" he looked at Jemma, who was studying the DNA results.
"Oh, yes. Yeah, not a problem." Simmons smiled at her "Bobbi won't mind me going in there, will she?"
"No, she'll be fine" Skye assured the biochemist
"Yeah, err- I mean, I would do it but you know there's lots of lady things. They're both slobs" he pointed at her. "I'll help bandage her hands, it was my fault anyway"
Simmons smiled at her then left to go get her some clean sheets.
Fitz walked closer to her and sat her down on the table. He bent down next to her and began to lay out the medical equipment. Skye stared at him.
"What did you just do?" she questioned him
"I switched your blood results with the old samples. Give me your hand"
She put her hand on his "The new samples are different?" she asked
Fitz looked up at her "Drastically"
The brunette sharply took in a breath.
"Until everyone around here calms down, I don't think we should tell anybody" he wiped her hand "What with the way Simmons is acting. For now we should just keep it between us." He looked at her and nodded. "Keep you safe until we figure it out, okay?" he added.
Skye nodded, with tears in her eyes. She sniffed then lowered herself off the table and into Fitz's arms. She rested her arms on his shoulders and leant into the crook of his neck. He quickly wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her back.
"It's okay." He consoled her
"This is all my fault" she sobbed "I could have stopped her, I let this happen and I'm so sorry"
"No, it's okay"
"Everything is my fault" she cried. The brunette quickly sniffed. "They're all going to think I'm a monster. Bobbi's not going to want me anymore"
"No, Skye. Bobbi loves you, we all do. None of us think you're a monster, none of us could ever think that about you. Bobbi would never leave you, she loves you too much.
Skye sniffed, she tried to believe Fitz's words but she couldn't. Once they knew what she was, they'd all think of her as a monster. They'd all leave her, none of them would want her.
"There's something very wrong with me" Skye whispered
"No, you're just different now. You're just different now and there's nothing wrong with that"
The brunette nuzzled her head against the engineer's neck and took comfort in his embrace.
One thought kept bouncing around her head
How could Bobbi love me now?
