Hey guys, sorry for the late upload.
Sorry for any spelling and/or grammar mistakes
Hope you like it.
Skye walked Bobbi to their bunk. Bobbi kept insisting that she was fine on her own, but after the incident on the cargo ramp Skye wasn't taking any chances.
The brunette opened the door to their bunk and guided Bobbi onto the bed.
The blonde sighed "Is this what it was like when I was hovering around you when you got shot?"
Skye smirked "Yep"
Bobbi smirked "So this is payback?"
"No, this is me taking care of you… and a little payback" she smiled
Bobbi's smile faded a little "I'm sorry about earlier"
Skye's smile faded entirely "It-it's fine. Let's just forget about it. I've gotta go brief Coulson and Sif on the mission"
"We've gotta talk about it eventually, you know" Bobbi said
"You gonna be alright in here?" the brunette asked, totally swerving Bobbi's last statement.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. But did you hear what I-" the blonde started
"I've gotta go to briefing, Coulson's waiting. Love you" Skye cut her off.
"Skye, wait, we need to…" Bobbi trailed off as Skye walked out of the bunk.
Bobbi sighed before lowering her head onto the pillows. She could smell Skye's scent on the one next to her. She smiled at it before grabbing it and drawing it into her chest. The blonde hugged the pillow tight, wishing that it was actually Skye that she was holding to her chest.
After briefing Coulson and Sif on the blue guy, Skye went to find Fitz.
She found him in the storage room checking out some of the new icers.
"Fitz" she called him as she walked in.
He looked up from the crate of guns and looked at her.
"Hey Skye" he greeted. The Scotsman saw the look on her face and knew something was wrong "D-did something happen? Did you do something with your um- your- your- err-"
"My powers?" Skye said
Fitz nodded.
"On the mission, with Bobbi, we got into a fight with the blue guy. He threw Bobbi against a wall and I- I just- it just started. The whole room was shaking." Skye sighed "The gun in my hand exploded."
"Oh god" Fitz said as he bit his lip
"I-I thought that I could handle it, but I- I can't- I just can't. It's too much. I think we should tell Coulson what's happening." She sighed
"No, wait, just wait until I've- until I've- until- err- until I've analysed-" Fitz started to protest
"Bobbi's going to figure it out soon and I-I can't control it when I get upset or-or nervous" Skye cut him off
"I'm running that diagnostic on your blood samples right now. Hopefully when it's done we'll have a solution. Then there's nothing to worry…" he trailed off as they heard footsteps coming towards them.
Hunter walked in and raised his eyebrows at them. "Sorry to interrupt… whatever this is." He looked at the two of them. "Why aren't you with Bobbi?" he asked
Skye sighed "Hunter can we not do this right now. I get it, you're upset with me because I let Bobbi get hurt, but-"
"No, I'm not having a go, I'm not. I'm just asking" he held his hands up.
"I thought she might want some peace, and I needed to talk to Fitz" Skye told him
Hunter nodded and they both looked at him as if to say 'what the hell do you want'
Hunter cleared his throat "Oh, erm, I, err, I just wanted to check out the new toys from sci-tech" he pointed at the crate of rifles opposite the crate of icers.
Skye and Fitz stepped out of the way and Hunter moved over to the box.
"Coulson asked me to find something on what Sif said the blue guy is looking for" Skye told Fitz "I'm- I'm- gonna go"
Fitz nodded at her.
Bobbi woke up about an hour after she'd entered her bunk with Skye. She sat up and decided to have a shower. The blonde swung her legs over the side of her bed and pushed herself up. Her head still felt a little woozy, but other than that she was fine. She grabbed some clothes and a towel then left the bunk.
Bobbi exited the bus's shower room in a grey long sleeve shirt and black jeans. She wandered into the kitchen where Mack was sitting on the sofa tinkering with a tiny device. He looked up at her and she sighed. She'd been trying to avoid this conversation.
"You sure you don't want to bring Skye in on this?" Mack delved straight into conversation
"I told you, I don't want her having anything to do with this" Bobbi glared at him
"I know, I just thought you would've changed your mind by now" He replied
"Why would I change my mind?" the blonde said
"Because you're lying to her, and I know that must be hard. She's gonna figure something out soon, you spend nearly all day together. She'll figure it out soon enough. Maybe you guys should, you know..."
"No I don't know Mack." Bobbi said, even though she knew exactly what he was suggesting
"Well, I don't know, maybe you should hold back a bit" the man said
"Are you telling me to push her away?" Bobbi frowned
"Well, not push her away, just maybe-"
"Are you telling me to push her away?" Bobbi repeated irritably
"Yeah, I guess so." He sighed "Look, Bobbi, she loves you and she probably will always love you, but she won't side with us when all this comes out. May, Coulson, Fitz and Simmons, they're her family. You love her and you don't want her fighting against us, I don't want that either-"
"Stop acting like you care about her." Bobbi cut him off "You don't know her, so stop acting like you do"
"You're right, I don't know her. But I don't have to know her to know that she won't go against the others." Mack said
Bobbi sighed "I don't even know if this is the right thing to do anymore. We're just gonna blow a hole in the base and take out anyone who tries to stop us? You're forgetting that everyone here is a shield agent, just like us."
"We're not planning on killing anyone here. We know they're just working for who they think they should follow. Coulson isn't the right man to lead shield. The real shield leaders will take his place and no one gets hurt. Everybody gets to keep their jobs" Mack said
"And what about Skye? You think she's just gonna stand by and watch while you take down the man she thinks of as a father. And May? You think May's gonna work for us after everything we're planning."
Mack sighed "We're doing this Bobbi, whether or not you're still in"
Bobbi cursed herself for letting herself say all this to Mack. She was supposed to be reinforcing her cover, not blowing it altogether. "I'm still in, I just- I don't want Skye involved and I'm not gonna push her away" she said firmly
Mack nodded "Fine, but she's gonna be involved soon enough. Gonzales wants to take the base soon"
Bobbi gritted her teeth but nodded.
Skye walked into the lounge room on the bus to see May, Coulson, and Sif working on trying to find the kree.
She listened quietly as they worked out that he was headed to Chaves, Portugal, where Whitehall first found the obelisk. Coulson, May and Sif all got up to prepare to get the kree.
Skye sighed "Coulson" she called him. All three of them stopped and turned to look at her. "I'd like to sit this one out, please"
He walked towards her "You alright?" he asked concernedly
"Yeah, just after my run in with blue man group I'm still a little banged up. I'm worried I'm not gonna be much use to any of you out there"
May looked at her, unconvinced.
"Okay." Coulson said "Have Simmons check you out while we're gone, make sure it's nothing serious"
"O-okay" Skye said.
Coulson nodded at her then her and Sif turned to leave, May stayed behind.
"You sure you're alright?" the older woman asked
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just don't think I'm gonna be much use to you guys out there" Skye replied
May studied her
"May, I promise, it's just about the guy making me see cartoon birdies all around my head. I'm fine" Skye smiled
May still looked unconvinced
"You sure that's it. It's not about something else?" the senior agent asked
"May, I'm fine" the brunette insisted
"That's not what I asked" May said
"There's nothing else going on, I swear" Skye lied unconvincingly.
May didn't believe her at all but decided to leave it at that. She nodded at the younger woman then walked towards the cockpit.
Skye sighed at having to lie again. She sat down on the sofa and put her arms on the table and hid her face in them.
When Hunter, May, Coulson and Sif left to catch the kree, Bobbi walked downstairs to find Skye. She knew the brunette had stayed behind but she didn't know why. Bobbi had wanted to go on the mission but May had banned her due to her head injury.
She walked into the lounge room and saw Skye laying on her hands on the table. Bobbi crept in and slid in next to her on the sofa. She pressed a kiss to the brunette's neck and she lifted her head from her arms to look at the blonde.
Skye confusedly frowned at her. "I thought you went on the mission with the others"
"You thought I'd leave without saying goodbye?" Bobbi looked at the brunette
Skye just shrugged
That's when Bobbi snapped "You need to tell me what's going on, now"
The brunette just looked away from Bobbi and stared into space
"Now Skye" Bobbi said harshly
Skye looked at Bobbi, shocked at the sudden demand
"Whatever you're hiding is tearing you apart. At the start you tried to put on a brave face for me, but now you're not even trying to hide the fact that something's going on. And that tells me that things are really bad and you're losing hope."
The brunette looked down at her feet, once again avoiding Bobbi's gaze. The blonde cupped Skye's chin and lifted her head.
"Baby, I barely recognise you anymore, you're not you when you're like this. It upsets me to see you like this, when you're not yourself" Bobbi said sadly
Skye pulled away from Bobbi "When I'm not myself!?" she remarked "Bobbi you've known me for less than six months. What do you know about me?"
Bobbi sighed "I know that you won't sleep with more than one pillow. I know that you won't drink coffee unless Coulson makes it because he makes it the best. I know that you don't like to drink too often, but I'm not sure why. I know that you chew your lip when you're nervous, and I know that you aren't you right now." She said quietly.
Skye just stared at her "When I lived in my van, before shield, I was messed up. I was dealing with being tossed about in the foster system, trying to find my parents, and I'd developed a drinking problem. I'd spend most of my nights with a guy called Miles. He taught me how to hack and helped me get through a lot of shit when I was messed up. So, I used to drink a lot, sometimes I just couldn't stop, I ended up drunk most nights. And one night, I was out at a bar with Miles, I'd already drunk a lot and he kept telling me to stop, that I'd had enough, but I kept going. Eventually I passed out and ended up in hospital. They told me I'd almost died of alcohol poisoning, but Miles had gotten me to the hospital in time… That's why I don't drink" Skye explained
Bobbi stared her in the eyes.
"I didn't tell you that for your pity Bobbi. I don't want your pity"
"No, it's not pity. I'm just amazed at how much of a strong person you are" she smiled at her
The brunette scoffed "Yeah, I'm feeling pretty strong right now" she said sarcastically.
Bobbi wrapped her arms around Skye and held her tight "But you don't need to be strong on your own anymore. I can be strong for you, if you need me to. I just need you to tell me what's going on"
"And I need you to tell me what's going on with you" Skye said as she pushed herself out of Bobbi's hold and off the sofa. She stood up and looked down at Bobbi "Why should I tell you what's going on with me if you won't tell me what's going on with you?" she said before leaving the room.
When the team got back they'd returned with a case thought to be full of obelisks. Bobbi went down to the lab to examine the kree's truncheon. Skye would usually come down to try and help Bobbi whenever she was doing something science related, even though Skye normally knew nothing about whatever Bobbi was doing. The blonde didn't mind this as she'd usually end up narrating what she was doing just so Skye could get some kind of understanding. The brunette knew Bobbi dumbed it down a bit for her, and she was grateful. This time though, Skye didn't come anywhere near the blonde.
When Bobbi was finished with her examination (even though she didn't find a lot) she went to find Coulson and tell him what little she had found.
The blonde found him in the hallway with Skye and Mack.
"Sir" Bobbi greeted him
"Bobbi" he returned the greeting "You find anything useful?"
"Not really" Bobbi said truthfully "I can't see an on button or anything. There's a dial on the bottom but I couldn't detect any electrical or spectographical signals. I suppose it's possible that only he can operate it. We've seen other alien materials react to biology or DNA"
"Don't remind me" Mack chipped in
"Or me" Skye added, thinking of the obelisk
"We've all been there done that" Coulson replied "Fitz and Simmons will examine the obelisk case. If the kree's telling the truth, we may finally have the answers we've been looking for" Coulson said before walking off down the corridor.
Mack turned and walked away and Skye went to do the same.
"Wait, Skye" Bobbi called out. The brunette stopped and turned to look at Bobbi. The blonde saw that Skye's eyes were red and puffy and she had a deep sadness in her eyes. Bobbi looked at her sympathetically and apologetically, but Skye just turned and walked away.
Skye couldn't bear to face Bobbi at that time. She knew she was at breaking point and she probably would've ended up sobbing in Bobbi's arms. So she turned and followed Coulson into the room where Sif, May and the kree were waiting.
They were talking about operating the truncheon when the kree flipped and kicked the truncheon out of Coulson's hands. Skye, May and Coulson drew their guns as the kree pressed the truncheon against Sif. He then dropped the thing and held his hands up in surrender
"This conversation was going nowhere" He said
"You back with us?" Coulson asked Sif, with his weapon still trained on the kree.
"Yes. My memories have returned. I am lady Sif of Asguard, friend of the shield" Sif replied as she strode forwards and punched the kree across the face.
Coulson stepped in between the two as the kree recovered
"Asguardian. That explains a lot" he said
"It is true we do not trust the kree" the asguardian woman stated "That is why I am here. When Heimdall saw that a kree had landed on your world, Odin charged me with retrieving him"
"So you came to pick a fight" the kree said
"We know enough about kree history to be concerned" Sif defended herself
"If you know kree history perhaps you've heard the tale of terrigenisis"
"Of course" the asguardian warrior said "Ancient kree descending on planets, altering inhabitants to fight their war"
"And the earth was one of them" he added
Skye started to fit the pieces together "Blue angels falling from the sky" she mumbled thinking about what Raina had told her about the obelisk.
Lady Sif began to tell the story of how the kree needed more soldiers, and how they modified the DNA of different species. The kree explained that those modifications could be activated via terrigen crystals and Skye knew that what he was saying was true.
"We knew these torturous experiments failed" Sif said
"Not on earth" the kree said "Here we had to shut them down. The kree who started the program built a city and brought with them the diviners, which hold the crystals. Their plans were discovered and thwarted by the better of my kind. Putting an end to that dark chapter of our pasts"
"Until now" Skye murmured
"When I saw that an ancient signal had been triggered, I knew it had to be a diviner. These transformed beings are… abominations. I knew that I had to find the remaining diviners before another monstrosity occurred, and erase all knowledge of it" he looked at the truncheon.
"How many diviners are in that crate?" May asked
"Enough to create an army" the kree answered
"Sir, the crate is empty" they heard Simmons say over comms.
"My worst fear has come true" the kree muttered
"You must understand these creature are weapons, abominations, even if they don't know" he said
Skye was starting to panic. She was once again spiralling out of control. The ground was shaking, the mugs in the sink were rattling, and the plates on the shelf were shattering. Everyone was looking around, confused by the sudden quaking.
"Son of Coul, what is this?" Sif asked warily
Coulson looked around speechless.
May started to piece the puzzle together in her head. "Skye?" she said, shocked at the conclusion she had reached. "You wanna talk to us?"
The shaking was worsening, Skye's breathing was becoming erratic, and things were shattering everywhere.
Coulson stepped towards the brunette "Skye?" he started "What's doing this?"
Everyone was looking at her. The kree was eying her warily and so was Sif. She saw May's concerned eyes on her.
"I am" she sighed
Sif reached out to grab her and she instantly pulled away "No, don't!" she cried as she backed away. She pulled her hands towards her head and tried to block everything out. It wasn't working, the shaking increased. She cried out as the glass behind her shattered.
She was panting and shaking, all the while the floor and ceiling were shaking violently.
Skye caught her breath and everyone was staring at her. May pulled the brunette behind her and Coulson walked over and stood protectively in front of them.
"Hand her over" Sif ordered.
May pulled out her gun and aimed it at her.
"I will take her back to Asguard; it will be safer for all of you."
"We will do no such thing" Coulson said
"The weapon has been activated, it needs to be eliminated before it hurts someone" the kree growled
"Skye is not a weapon" Coulson defended her
"Coulson, no one is saying that Skye chose this, but she is dangerous" Sif told them
"I don't want to be like this" Skye said firmly
"Imagine what will happen if your powers grow, it may not stop at breaking glass. You could bring down buildings, tear continents apart" Sif said
"I can get a handle on it"
"That's not what you were made for. You were made to destroy, which is why you must be put down" the kree glared at her.
"Well that sounds an awful lot like killing to me" Fitz said, announcing his presence.
May nodded at Coulson then grabbed Skye by the arm. "Skye let's go" she ordered as she pulled her out of the room.
"Fitz, we need bambino" Coulson shouted as the kree and Sif stepped forward "You want her you go through me!" he shouted with his guns raised.
We're finally at the reveal of Skye's powers! Yay!
Thank you guys for sticking with the fic, I know you've been waiting a long time for the reveal. You'll see Bobbi's reaction in the next chapter, which I'll try my best to have up by the end of this week.
Hope you liked it
