Hey guys, sorry for the late update. I've had a bit of writer's block lately, so it's been hard to write. Thank you for being patient.
Sorry for any spelling and/or grammar mistakes.
Hope you like it.
Bobbi ran through the base and towards the bus. She sprinted up the ramp and towards the cage. She turned the handle and tried to open the door, but it was locked. Bobbi sighed.
Skye saw the handle turn from inside the cage and sighed.
"Bobbi, I told you not to come near me" the brunette called out.
"And you thought I'd listen?" the blonde replied
"No" the younger woman sighed "That's why I locked the door"
"Yeah, about that, could you maybe unlock it?"
"No" Skye said firmly "I don't want you anywhere near me. I don't want to hurt you"
"And you won't, I promise"
"You can't promise that"
"Yes I can, because you're not some dangerous weapon, you're my Skye, and I know you won't hurt me" Bobbi said
"Not intentionally, but I am dangerous" Skye replied
"No Skye, you're not. That's what the kree told you. Don't listen to him"
"But he was right. All I've done since I changed is destroy" the brunette said
"That's not true" Bobbi shook her head, rolling her eyes when she realised Skye couldn't see it.
"Yes, it is. I destroyed the city-"
"We were gonna do that anyway" Bobbi countered
"I smashed the light in the lab and the glass in the main room"
"Those things can be fixed"
Skye sighed "I killed Trip"
Bobbi froze "Open the door" she demanded
Skye just stared at the CCTV footage that she had brought up on her laptop. She could see Bobbi frowning.
"Open the door, Skye. Open the door!" The blonde shouted
"No!"
"Skye!"
"No Bobbi"
Bobbi sighed and sat on the floor with her back against the door.
"You did not kill Trip. I don't want to ever hear you say that again." The blonde told her
"Yes I did, and-"
"You did not kill him" Bobbi said firmly "I've already told you that he died saving you because he wanted to. It was his choice. You did not kill him"
Skye sighed but didn't reply
"Now, can you please open the door?" the blonde requested
"Bobbi, I can't. I don't want to hurt you."
"You won't. You haven't caused any quakes while I've been here."
"I can't take that risk" Skye shook her head
"Fine" Bobbi huffed. The blonde then walked away from the cage and off the bus.
Bobbi ran through the base and into her and Skye's room. She pulled their duvet off the bed, grabbed three pillows and took a blanket from the closet. No way was she leaving Skye on her own.
She then ran back towards the bus.
Bobbi stopped outside the cage and dropped the duvet, blanket and pillows.
"If you're not gonna open the door, I'll stay out here. I'll stay out here all night if I have to, because I'm not leaving you" she called out
Skye sat up from where she was laying on the cot and looked back at the CCTV footage. She sighed and stood up off the bed.
"Bobbi, go back to our bunk" she said
"Nope. I'm not going anywhere" the blonde said as she placed the duvet on the floor. She propped the pillows against the door and laid down. She pulled the blanket over her and put her head against the door.
"Bobbi, please, just go back to the bunk" Skye begged
"That's not gonna happen, so are you gonna open the door?" the blonde asked
Skye folded her arms and glared at the door. She shook her head "No"
"Alright then, if you need me I'll be out here" Bobbi said cheerily just to annoy Skye so she'd open the door.
"For god's sake Bobbi" Skye huffed as she sat down on the floor and leant back against the door.
"Did you hit Mack?" Skye asked quietly and Bobbi could just about hear it.
The blonde smiled a tiny bit "No, of course not" she lied
"Bobbi" Skye warned
"Ok fine" Bobbi sighed "Yeah, I hit him, but he deserved it"
"I told you to leave it" Skye said
"And I did. I hit him and then I left it. I would've done a lot more than hit him if Hunter hadn't stopped me" the blonde said
Skye rolled her eyes.
"Aren't you hungry? It's been a while since we ate" Bobbi said
"If you're hungry go get some food" Skye smirked
"Nope" the blonde stayed strong "I'm staying here. Anyway, I was asking you"
"I'm fine" the brunette answered.
"You sure?"
"Yes Bobbi, I'm sure" Skye rolled her eyes
"Are we gonna continue to talk through the door, or are you gonna open it. You know I'm not going to walk away so you might as well just open it" Bobbi said
The two fell silent and Bobbi sighed. But then she heard a click. She shot up to her feet and tried the door handle again, this time it opened. She looked at Skye; the brunette was sitting on the cot staring at her. Bobbi smiled cheekily then turned back around. She threw the pillows into the room, then the blanket, then dragged the duvet in.
Bobbi pushed the door shut behind her and it closed with a bang. Skye tapped a few buttons on her tablet and Bobbi heard the lock click again.
Skye stood up and grabbed one of Bobbi's pillows. She chucked it onto the cot and smirked at Bobbi.
Bobbi raised her eyebrows. "That was my pillow" she smirked
"No, it wasn't." Skye smirked back "You brought three pillows. No one sleeps with three pillows"
Bobbi strode towards Skye and enveloped her in a hug. Skye wrapped her arms around Bobbi and rested her head on her shoulder.
"I love you so much" Bobbi mumbled
"I love you too" Skye said.
"Don't you ever shut me out like that again, okay?" the blonde said
"Bobbi, I-" Skye started
"I know you were trying to protect me, but I can't live without you. So if you want to protect me you need to let me be with you" Bobbi cut her off
Skye sighed but nodded.
Skye and Bobbi were watching something on her laptop when they heard the lock on the door click.
Skye looked confused and they both stared at the door as May walked in with her hands on her hips.
"What do you both think you're doing?" she raised her eyebrows at them
"How'd you unlock the door?" Skye frowned
"Override pass" May answered simply "Now, what are you doing in here?"
Skye bowed her head so Bobbi answered for her "Skye thinks she's dangerous so-"
"I am dangerous" the brunette cut in "So I'm staying in here so I don't hurt anyone. Bobbi wouldn't get lost so I had to let her in"
"Excuse me?" Bobbi pretended to be hurt by the way Skye described her actions
"You basically brought our bed into the hallway" Skye justified her words and Bobbi smirked at her.
"Skye, you don't need to be in here. None of us think you're dangerous" May told the woman
Skye scoffed "You obviously didn't hear what the others said"
May looked confused
"I'll tell you about it in a minute, I need to speak to you about something" Bobbi said
May nodded and Skye just frowned "About what?" she asked
"Err, about what happened earlier… with Mack" Bobbi said, not lying but not telling the whole truth.
Skye nodded
"Okay Morse, let's go" May told her, motioning to the door.
"Wait, why can't you tell her in here?" Skye asked the blonde
Bobbi quickly came up with an excuse "Erm, because I need to- err- to- to tell Coulson as well. I might as well tell them both at the same time"
"Oh yeah, okay" the brunette nodded
"I'll be back as soon as I can" the blonde assured the brunette
Skye rolled her eyes "Yeah, I know you will"
Bobbi leant over and kissed Skye, and then she stood up and followed May out of the room.
May and Bobbi walked into Coulson's office to see him messing with a weird looking black box. He saw them and quickly put it away. "May, Bobbi, what can I do for you?"
"Morse has something she needs to speak to us about" May answered
Coulson nodded "To do with Mack?" he guessed. Bobbi nodded and the man sighed "I'm guessing it's not good"
"I hit him" Bobbi blurted out
"You what!?" May said loudly
"I hit him" Bobbi repeated "He said some things… about Skye. And I just- I lost it"
"Morse, you're supposed to be a world class spy. You know how to control your emotions, and use them when you need them" May told her
"I know, but with Skye… I just can't." the blonde frowned
"There's something else, isn't there?" Coulson said
Bobbi nodded "I-err-I-I told him that I was done… with everything. He knew what I meant"
May sighed and Coulson rubbed his hand over his face.
"So what's his play? How's he going to respond?" May questioned
"I'm not sure" Bobbi admitted
"Can't you tell him that it was a mistake? Tell him that you still want in" Coulson suggested
"It's too late for that. He wouldn't believe now. He knows that I meant it" the blonde replied
The director sighed "Alright, we'll sort something out in the morning. Right now I need to go speak to Skye"
"About what?" Bobbi asked concerned
"I just need to ask her about something" he replied "Where is she? I haven't seen her around the base"
"She's in the cage, on the bus. The team were arguing about something and we overheard Mack say that we need protection from her" the blonde sighed.
Bobbi heard May's sharp intake of breath and saw the way her fists were clenched at her sides. Coulson clasped his hands together and she could see how hard he was trying to keep calm.
"Alright, I'm gonna go speak to her" he said when he managed to calm himself down.
Bobbi nodded and May just kept her eyes on her clenched fists.
Coulson walked out of the room leaving May and Bobbi alone
Coulson pulled out his override pass and unlocked the cage.
"Geez, does everyone have one of those passes?" he heard Skye say as he entered the room.
"Well, I am the director" he smiled at her.
She smiled back, but he could see the sadness behind her eyes. He strode towards her and opened his arms. She walked right into them and buried her head in his chest. The director quickly wrapped his arms around her and began to rub her back.
"You've had one hell of a day, huh?" he said and he felt her nod into his chest.
He held her for a little longer, and then said "I need to speak to you about something"
Skye pulled back and looked at him.
"I think we need to put you on the index" he said
Skye looked shocked
"It's only for protocol. It doesn't mean that you're a threat or anything and you are still a shield agent. It's just something we have to do"
Skye sighed but nodded
"I'm sorry Skye"
"It's fine AC- I mean DC- don't worry about it" the brunette said
"I kind of like AC better" Coulson smirked and Skye smirked back.
Skye's smirk faded "There's something else isn't there?"
Coulson sighed "I think it's best if we take you out of the field for a bit."
Skye was about to protest but he cut her off "It's for your own safety. And it's not because I think you're dangerous, because I know you're not, it's because there's some stuff going on around here and I want to get you as far away from it as possible. I need to keep you safe." He cupped her cheeks and looked her in the eyes. "I'll send you to a safe house, but if you really don't want to go I'm not going to force you, but I really think it's for the best. And obviously it's not permanent"
Skye sighed
"I'll leave you to think about it." Coulson said before kissing her forehead and leaving the room.
Bobbi walked back to the cage, after Coulson returning to his office and telling her that he had said what he needed to say to Skye.
She knocked on the door after discovering that it was locked again "It's me"
The door clicked open and she walked in. Skye was sitting on the edge of the bed with her head in her hands.
"Skye? What's wrong" she asked with a look of concern on her face. The blonde walked over to the bed and sat down beside Skye. She used one hand to rub the younger woman's back and placed the other on her knee in a comforting manner.
"Skye?" she tried again "Please talk to me" the blonde begged
Skye slowly pulled her head out of her hands and sat up.
"Coulson, he-err- he suggested that I leave the base for a while and go to a safe house" the brunette said
"What?!" Bobbi shouted.
Skye bowed her head and looked nervous. Bobbi cupped her chin and lifted her head to look her in the eyes
"Skye, I promise, I'm not leaving you. So you're either not going or I'm coming with you. I promised I wouldn't leave you and I'm not breaking that promise again" the blonde told her. "Okay?"
Skye nodded
"Alright, I'm gonna go sort all this out with Coulson, and when I get back we can watch a movie. That sound alright?" Bobbi smiled
The brunette nodded. Bobbi smiled at her and rubbed her cheek, before standing up and leaving the room.
Bobbi burst into Coulson's office, to see him sitting at his desk with May opposite him.
"No" she said firmly. The two superior officers whipped their heads around to look at her "She's not going anywhere, at least not without me. I'm not gonna let you force her to go"
"Morse-" Coulson started
"She needs to be with people she cares about. I'm not leaving her"
"Bobbi-"
"You can't just kick her out" the blonde carried on with her rant.
"Agent Morse!" Coulson shouted. Bobbi stopped shouting and looked at him. "You're going with her"
"Oh" was all Bobbi said, as she bowed her head.
"Did you really think I'd force her out of the base and leave her on her own?" he questioned
The blonde shrugged and Coulson sighed.
"You both leave tomorrow evening" the director told her
"Yes sir. Sorry sir" Bobbi replied quietly
"It's fine Morse, don't worry" he said "Now, if we're done here…" he trailed off as he motioned to the door.
Bobbi nodded then exited the room
Bobbi headed to the kitchen to get some popcorn for her and Skye, but as she walked down the corridor she heard a voice coming from one of the supply rooms. The blonde stopped outside the door and listened in. She heard Mack's voice.
"She said she's out" he said. Then there was a pause and Bobbi realised he was on the phone, talking about her.
"I reckon I can get her to keep quiet, we don't need to strike now. But there's a gifted individual on site, Bobbi's soul mate. We'll take her into custody when we take the base"
Bobbi's fists clenched and she had to stop herself from bursting in and attacking Mack. She couldn't believe that one of her best friends could be like this.
"No. I can make sure Bobbi doesn't bring us out. She-" he stopped, like he'd been cut off. He sighed "Alright, I'll bring her in, but she won't come willingly." He fell silent for a moment "Okay, I'll take her in the morning"
Then Bobbi turned and sprinted back towards Coulson's office.
Again, she burst in the room and May and Coulson turned to look at her.
"Agent Morse, I'm sure you know how to knock-"
"Mack, he's gonna try to take me in, and they're planning on taking Skye into custody when they attack." She panted out, breathless after her sprint towards the office.
Coulson's eyes widened and May slammed her fist down on his desk.
"Coulson, we need to get them out, today" the older woman said
Coulson nodded his agreement.
"Bobbi, tell Skye to pack her stuff. May will fly you both to the safe house as soon as you're ready to leave." He said
"We need to tell Skye what's going on" the blonde said
Coulson looked at May for her opinion. "She needs to know, Phil" the older woman said. Coulson nodded at Bobbi.
Bobbi nodded back then ran out of the room.
Bobbi knocked on the door of the cage. "Skye, it's me" The door clicked open and Bobbi rushed in.
"We're going to the safe house now" she said "Is all your stuff in here?"
"Yeah, but what's going on? I thought we weren't leaving for a while" Skye asked
"Change of plans. I'll explain everything when we get on the quinjet" the blonde said as she threw Skye's shirt into the already packed duffel bag.
"Bobbi, stop!" Skye shouted. Bobbi stopped what she was doing and looked over at the brunette "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on"
"Please Skye, let me get you out of here, then I promise I'll tell you everything." The blonde said
Skye shook her head "You tell me now, or I'm not moving"
Bobbi looked her in the eyes, silently pleading with her. The blonde didn't want to tell Skye yet. She was delaying it for as long as possible, she didn't want Skye to hate her.
"Now Bobbi" the brunette demanded.
Bobbi sighed but walked over to the bed and sat down beside Skye. The blonde took the brunette's hands in her own.
"Just remember that I love you and everything that I've done, I've done to protect you"
"Bobbi, you're scaring me, just tell me what's going on" Skye said worriedly.
Bobbi nodded. "Alright" she took a deep breath, dreading the upcoming conversation. The conversation started with "When hydra came out of the shadows" and ended with "And now they're coming after you, so we need to get out of here"
Skye looked horrified. She stood up and backed away from the blonde. Bobbi stood up and walked towards her. Skye put her arms out, telling her to stay away
"Please Skye. I love you so much, and I'm so sorry. I just didn't want you to-" Bobbi stopped as she felt the shaking.
There were tears streaming from Skye's eyes and she was squeezing her eyes shut, trying to regain her calm. The brunette backed into the wall and slid herself down it until she was sitting on the floor. She placed her hands against her head and groaned. Bobbi rushed over to her and crouched in front of her. The blonde placed her hands on Skye's arms.
"Go! Get out of here!" Skye shouted without opening her eyes
"Baby I'm not going anywhere. We can do this, you can stop it, I know you can" Bobbi replied
"No I can't! Now get out of here, I don't want to hurt you!"
Bobbi sat down beside Skye and wrapped her arms around her. She pulled the younger woman onto her lap, and rocked her.
"It's okay, it's alright, just focus on my voice, just focus on me baby, it's okay" Bobbi whispered into her ear
The room was still shaking and Skye was sobbing uncontrollably.
"Bobbi where- where's your icer?" Skye asked frantically.
"No!" the blonde said firmly
"P-please" the brunette whimpered
"You're not doing that to yourself again. We can stop this"
Skye scrambled away from Bobbi and stood up. She backed herself into the corner. "Bobbi, go! I can't control this, and I don't want to hurt you"
"Skye, I'm not going anywhere, because I know you can stop this" Bobbi wanted to hold Skye in her arms, but the brunette had her arms out, telling Bobbi to stay away, so Bobbi kept her distance.
Skye strained and groaned as she tried to stop the quake. Her hands were clenched into fists and Bobbi could see how much she was struggling from the whiteness of her knuckles. The quake began to stop and Bobbi stared at Skye. Skye slammed her hands against her head and within seconds the quake had stopped altogether.
Skye stared wide-eyed at Bobbi, and the blonde smiled at her. Skye suddenly felt pain all over her body. She looked down at her arms and saw bruises crawling up them. Bobbi was looking at her with a mixture of concern, shock and confusion.
Skye began to feel dizzy and Bobbi noticed that she was swaying. "Skye!" Bobbi screamed as she leapt forwards and caught Skye as she tumbled to the floor.
The door burst open and Coulson, May, Fitzsimmons, Hunter and Mack burst in. May instantly ran to Bobbi's side and looked Skye over. Coulson was next in, while the others waited by the door.
"What the hell happened?" May asked.
"She-she got the quaking under control and-and then these-these bruises started forming on her arms and she just passed out" Bobbi stammered
"Alright, Simmons, I need you to check Skye out" Coulson said. Simmons nodded with a look of worry on her face "The rest of you can go"
Hunter looked at her with sympathy before turning and walking away. Mack eyed her warily before doing the same. Fitz seemed hesitant to leave, but Bobbi nodded at him and slowly he walked away.
Bobbi looked back down at Skye's unconscious form in her arms and stroked her cheek. Bobbi knew that this was all her fault. Her actions had caused Skye to spiral and caused whatever had just happened to the brunette. Bobbi hesistantly lowered Skye's body onto the ground so that Simmons could check her out. She backed away and stared at the brunette with a mixture of worry, guilt and sympathy.
