Hey guys. I said I'd have the next chapter up by the end of the week, and here it is.
Sorry for any spelling and/or grammar mistakes.
Hope you like it.
May ran Skye down the hallway. The lights above them were flickering and shaking. The two ran round a corner and Skye spotted Bobbi standing outside the lab, looking confused.
The blonde spotted the brunette and looked at her with concern.
"Skye… what's going on?" she asked when May and Skye ran past her.
Skye was slowing but May was pulling her along
"Bobbi, I'm so sorry" Skye said before she was running again.
The blonde went to follow them but was stopped by an out of breath Fitz.
"Lady Sif and the kree are tryna take Skye away" he said.
As soon as the words processed in her mind, all Bobbi saw was red.
The kree rounded the corner and Bobbi's jaw clenched shut and her fists were suddenly balled up.
"Your friend Skye is an atrocity, and I must go put an end to this" he told her
Bobbi ignored his statement even though she was seething, and took a few steps towards him
"This is not your fight"
"Oh, it really is" the blonde retorted
"You do not want to fight me" he said
Bobbi scoffed "I really do. See you're trying to take someone I love, so yeah I really do" Bobbi's expression turned sour and she pulled out her escrima sticks
The kree shrugged "This is twice now, you and me. You must really love a fight"
"Love to fight. No, I don't love to fight. But I'm not going to let you take someone I love."
"That's Noble" he commented "Stupid, but noble"
May pulled Skye down the stairs to vault D. The base was still shaking and Skye knew that she wouldn't be able to get this under control. The kree was right, she was an abomination. She was built to destroy and that was all she'd done lately.
May sat Skye on the bed and hurriedly tapped on the tablet. The grid wall went up.
May turned to Skye, who was panting and sobbing, and sat next to her. She placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"Hey" she caught the young woman's attention "Listen to me, just me"
Skye was desperately trying to slow her breathing and clam herself down. It wasn't working and she continued to spiral out of control.
"We can do this, you can do this" May said firmly
Skye looked at her hands then up at May.
She shook her head "I can't, I can't make it stop" she said quietly.
"You need to control your emotions, just like we practised" her S.O told her. May had returned to her feet and was trying to get Skye to focus.
Skye sobbed "I can't make it stop. Everyone is at risk" her breathing was erratic and her face was streaked with tears.
"Just focus. Skye, look at me. Focus. It'll stop" May spun around when Sif's sword plunged through the barrier. She could tell that the barrier wouldn't hold for long.
"Agent May, release the girl" Sif's voice came from the other side of the cell.
May backed up towards Skye and took up a fighting stance.
Skye's eyes widened "May, she'll get through"
"Ignore it, remember, focus!" May ordered
Skye groaned and strained as she tried to block out all the noise and regain control. "I can't" she cried
The barrier came down and Sif stood there with her sword at the ready.
May felt her gun slide out of it's holster and spun around. Skye pressed the gun against her side and pulled the trigger. May's eyes widened as her body crumpled and her head hit the pillows.
"Skye" she cried as she went towards the bed. Sif froze at the sudden action and Coulson thundered down the stairs.
May quickly felt for Skye's pulse and sighed in relief when she found it. She sat beside the girl, blocking out the conversation Coulson and Sif were having, and pulled her head onto her lap. May watched the rise and fall of Skye's chest and stroked her hair.
The kree had Bobbi pinned up against the wall, with her own stave against her neck.
"You knew you couldn't stop me, so why try?" he growled
"Because no one is taking that girl from me" Bobbi growled back. She saw Fitz over the kree's shoulder, holding Bambino. She ducked under the kree's arms and out of the way. Fitz pulled the trigger and the gun blasted the kree off his feet and sent him skidding out the doorway.
Bobbi walked over to his unconscious form and pressed his own truncheon against his chest, taking his memories. She then left Fitz to deal with him as she ran in the direction she'd seen Skye and May running.
Bobbi threw open the door to vault D and sprinted down the stairs.
Her eyes fell upon an unmoving Skye on May's lap and she froze.
"Oh my god" she muttered. Her eyes were filling up with tears; she felt a burning rage in her heart as well as an intense sadness. Her knees buckled underneath her and she fell to her knees on the floor "Oh god"
May looked at her and then back down at Skye and realised how this must have looked.
"Bobbi, calm down-" she started
"Calm down!?" the blonde remarked
"Bobbi she's-"
"Is-is-is she-is she…" Bobbi gulped
"Bobbi, she's fine, I promise. She's just unconscious"
"Oh god" Bobbi sighed in relief. She bent over and tried to catch her breath. One hand was resting on the ground and the other was held against her heart.
She got over the shock of her previous thoughts and ran over to Skye and May. The latter lifted Skye's head off her lap and gently placed it on the pillow. She moved out of the way so Bobbi could take her place.
"Thanks" Bobbi said gratefully. As she sat beside Skye and lifted her head to place it on her own lap. She bent over and kissed her forehead.
"What the hell happened?" the blonde asked
"She iced herself" May answered
"What!? Why?"
"To stop it" May thought that Bobbi knew by now
"Stop what?" Bobbi asked confused
"You don't know?" the older woman asked
"Know what?"
"The quake- the quakes- the one in the city; the one just now"
"What about them?"
"They were Skye. She was causing them" May told her
"Wh-what- what are you talking about?" Bobbi said, even though she knew, she just didn't want to believe it.
"I think the obelisk changed her, gave her powers"
"And she didn't tell us" Bobbi murmured
"Of course she didn't tell us. You know what she's like, she's always scared we're going to leave her. She probably thinks we'll be afraid of her and we'll leave her" May told the blonde
"I'd never leave her" Bobbi said firmly
"Well I know that, but she doesn't" May nodded towards Skye.
Bobbi lent over once again and kissed Skye's forehead.
"I'll be back in a minute" May said
Bobbi looked up at her "Where are you going?"
"To get her some painkillers and stuff. She's gonna have a killer headache when she wakes up" the older woman explained. Bobbi smiled at the woman's concern for her rock star.
May returned five minutes later with some painkillers, a glass of water, and a wet flannel.
"Here" she said as she passed Bobbi the flannel. The blonde dabbed it over Skye's forehead, hoping to ease some of her pain before she even woke up. May placed the glass of water on the floor by the bed and put the painkillers in her pocket.
The older woman sat by Skye's feet and looked at her with concern.
"She'll be happy you stayed with her" Bobbi said
"I wasn't planning on going anywhere" May replied
Skye's eyes snapped open and she shot up into a sitting position. The sudden action left her head swimming. She felt a pair of hands on her shoulders and another pair holding her hands. She allowed herself to fall against the person holding her shoulders.
The brunette blinked a few times and her vision started to clear. May was beside her, holding her hands. She looked up to see Bobbi's concerned face peering down at her.
There was a shooting pain in Skye's head, she winced, pressed her hands against her skull, and squeezed her eyes shut.
"Hey, Skye" Bobbi called out "Skye"
Skye groaned signalling that she was listening.
"Skye, you need to open your eyes" that was May.
Skye groaned again, but didn't open her eyes
"Skye, baby, it's okay, just look at me" Bobbi said
Skye moaned but slowly lowered her hands and opened her eyes. May was holding something out to her. Skye looked at her confused
"Painkillers" May explained
Skye nodded her understanding but the nod sent a sharp pain through her head and she reached up to press her hands against her skull again. Bobbi was there again, she gently pried the brunette's hands off of her head and took her hands in her own.
"Take the painkillers" she ordered gently.
May passed the tablets to Bobbi, who then handed them to Skye. Bobbi leant over and grabbed the glass of water from the floor. She handed that to the brunette. Skye took the pills then washed them down with the water. She sighed as the pain instantly decreased.
She leant back into Bobbi's chest and the blonde pressed a cool flannel to her head.
Within two minutes Skye was asleep again.
About an hour later, Skye began to stir. Bobbi was next to her in the bed and had an arm slung protectively across her chest, she too had fallen asleep. May had left after Skye had fallen asleep; she'd gone with Coulson to take Lady Sif and the kree back.
Skye moaned and turned in her sleep, in turn waking Bobbi up. The blonde shot into a sitting position but relaxed when she saw Skye.
She tensed up again when she saw Skye's lips moving and heard the words spewing out of her mouth.
"No, no please Bobbi, please" she murmured in her sleep "I'm so sorry. I-I can't stop it, just please, don't- don't leave me."
Bobbi's eyes widened and she began to shake Skye awake.
"Please Bobbi, I love you so much, I-I need you, you can't leave." Skye's voice was growing louder and there was a single tear falling from her eye. "Bobbi! No!" Skye screamed as she shot up into a sitting position. The blonde could tell that this had hurt her head as she was squeezing her eyes shut and gritting her teeth.
"It's okay Skye, I'm here, and I promise I'm not going anywhere" Bobbi told the brunette as she wrapped her arm around her shoulders.
Skye turned to look at Bobbi and the blonde could see the tears beginning to fall and the sadness in her eyes. Skye looked sorrowfully at the blonde then buried her head in her shoulder and just cried. Bobbi placed her hand on the back of Skye's head and rubbed her back.
"It's alright baby, I'm here, I'm here, it's okay" the blonde whispered into the brunette's ear.
"I love you so much Bobbi" Skye whispered "Promise you'll never leave me"
Bobbi's heart broke at Skye's request "I've promised it before and I'll do it again. I'll keep on promising it until you finally believe me" the blonde pulled back and cupped Skye's cheeks "I promise you Skye, I'm never leaving you"
"Thank you" Skye gave Bobbi a weak smile
"How are you feeling?"
"Still got a bit of a headache, but the painkillers really helped. And other than being some freak with earthquake powers, I'm good" Skye replied
"Stop that." Bobbi told her "Stop talking about yourself like that. You're not a freak, okay?"
"But I am Bobbi" the brunette replied
"No, you're not"
"Then what am I, Bobbi?"
"You're my rock star. You're the love of my life. You're Skye. You're mine, and you always will be" Bobbi said truthfully.
Skye sighed.
"You wanna talk about your nightmare?" the blonde offered
Skye shook her head
"You sure? Because I'm here for you, if you need to talk, I'm here" the blonde told her
"I know you are" the brunette replied "I just don't want to talk about it"
"Okay" Bobbi said, respecting Skye's decision.
Skye smiled in appreciation.
Bobbi smiled back, and then leant in and kissed Skye passionately.
When they pulled apart Skye was smiling slightly.
"How about we go upstairs." Bobbi suggested "We'll grab something to eat then watch something in our bunk"
The suggestion wiped the smile off of Skye's face entirely.
"I-I just want to stay down here." The brunette said
"What? Skye, you're normally the one who always wants to be up and around. You hate being cooped up"
"I know, I just- I just want to stay down here"
"You don't need to be afraid of seeing the team, we all love you. No one's afraid of you, you're still our Skye" Bobbi told her
"Yes, they are. They're all afraid. Simmons thinks I'm a plague to be eradicated, and-"
"What?" Bobbi cut in "Simmons doesn't think that. She loves you, you're her best friend"
"I heard her say it Bobbi. She was talking about Raina and all these new elevated threats, and how we need to be put down" Skye looked Bobbi in the eyes
"Skye, she was talking about Raina, not you"
"But we're the same. She changed and I changed. She's different and so am I. We're both monsters" Skye muttered the last part, but Bobbi heard it and was shocked.
"Don't you say that. Don't you ever say that. You are not a monster Skye. Yes, you and Raina both changed, but the first thing Raina did after she changed was kill people. All you've done is try to keep all of us safe. You just iced yourself to protect us, and by the way, don't you ever do that again, I'm not losing you" Bobbi told the brunette
"Bobbi, I knew it was an icer"
"I don't care. Don't you ever harm yourself again, I don't care who it's for, just don't do it" the blonde said firmly.
Skye sighed
"Let's just go upstairs, we don't have to hang around, we can just go straight to or bunk. I'll get us some snacks and we can watch a film" Bobbi continued to try to convince Skye.
"Bobbi, I-"
"Please Skye, for me?" Bobbi guilt tripped the woman as she stuck out her lip and stared Skye in the eyes.
Skye sighed "Fine, but I'm going straight to our bunk"
Bobbi shrugged "That's fine by me"
As they walked down the hallway, Skye and Bobbi heard arguing coming from the room where Skye had shattered the glass.
Skye stopped "Can't we just go back downstairs?" She whispered
"No, we're up here now, we might as well go to our bunk" Bobbi whispered in reply
When they got to the room where the team was, they heard Mack's voice "No Fitz, we're the ones who need protection from her!"
Skye froze and Bobbi tensed. The blonde's hands were down by her sides, clenched into fists. Skye saw this and placed her hand on Bobbi's.
The arguing fell silent as they noticed the couple.
Hunter looked at Bobbi with sympathy, Simmons looked at Skye with regret and sympathy, Fitz looked at Skye with concern, and Mack just looked expressionless.
Bobbi went to stride towards Mack, but Skye put her arm in front of her. "Bobbi, let's just go"
Bobbi looked at the younger woman "Alright, go to our bunk. I'll grab us something to eat then meet you there"
Skye nodded then hastily continued down the hallway.
Bobbi watched Skye turn the corner at the end of the hallway, then strode towards Mack.
Hunter moved in front of her and was about to say something but Bobbi stopped him.
"Move, Hunter" She growled
"Bobbi, just think this through, you-" he started
"Now Hunter" Bobbi said through gritted teeth. Hunter didn't move. "Move!"
The brit sighed then stepped out of the way. Bobbi continued towards Mack and stopped right before him. He stepped back a bit. "Bobbi, I'm-"
The blonde cut him short by pulling back her fist and punching him hard across the jaw. He stumbled backwards, hand on his jaw. Hunter quickly stepped in front of Bobbi again, whilst Fitz and Simmons just stared at her in shock.
"If you ever say something like that about her again, I swear I'll kill you!" she shouted at him over Hunter's shoulder. "You and I are done! I'm done with you, I'm done with our friendship, and I'm done with everything else!" she knew he knew what she meant as he looked up at her with wide eyes. She nodded "Yeah, I'm done with everything"
The blonde then turned and strode out of the room. Fitz followed behind her. He shouted her name as he ran to catch up with her.
"What Fitz!?" she said a bit too harshly
"Tell-tell her, I'm still here for her, I'm-I'm here for her whenever- whenever she needs me." The Scotsman stuttered out
Bobbi's expression softened "Thanks Fitz, she'll appreciate that.
He nodded at her "Just look after her, okay?"
"Of course" the blonde replied
Bobbi walked into their bunk to find it empty. The closet was open, and was stripped of all Skye's stuff. She looked around frantically for any sign of the brunette. She froze when she saw a piece of paper on their bedside table. She picked it up and recognised Skye's handwriting from the nine words written on her arm.
'Bobbi, I'm only writing this note so you don't get worried. I've not left the base, so don't worry. I'm gonna tell you where I am, but only so you don't worry, I don't want you to come get me. I need you to stay as far away from me as possible. I'm dangerous and I don't want to hurt you. I'm in the cage on the bus, but please Bobbi, don't come near me. I couldn't live with myself if I hurt you. I love you so much'
Bobbi threw the note on the bed then left the room, heading for the bus.
Finally, Bobbi's reaction. Hope you guys liked it.
I know Bobbi reacted very differently in the show, but with the way I've been portraying Bobbi's love for Skye, I can't ever see Bobbi reacting badly.
