After this one, we only have five more left in this. Where did all the time go?

Also, the relationship between them will be kicking off really soon, and the final ones will hopefully bring out a bunch of cheers.

Winter

A cold snowy blast of air blew into her face, and Skye squeezed her eyes shut, wincing.

When she'd started the mission, Skye had only known that they were investigating some really weird weather patterns occurring in Berlin. Upon arrival, she and Leo had been sent to investigate a section of the city where the peculiar weather seemed to originate. He had gone into a small shop to get sandwiches while she kept watch outside for anything out of the ordinary.

When the wind had begun to pick up and the sky darkened rapidly, Skye made the stupid decision to take off and go investigate the building down the road where the clouds had first darkened. Minutes later, she went inside of the abandoned apartment complex to discover a device similar to the one built by Seth and Donnie at the Academy residing in the first room on her right. However, Skye didn't need to be a genius to see that something was going wrong with it, considering the flashing of lights and the shaking of the room it was in. Just as she had turned to run, she heard a boom. A blast knocked her out of the door and onto the street. The last thing she remembered before losing consciousness was feeling something cool fluttering down on her arm.

She didn't know how long she had been out for, but when she came to, Skye founded herself covered in a blanket of cold snow. Shivering, she'd gotten up. While she'd been out, the world had turned into a think, wintry blizzard uncharacteristic for April. Everything around her was covered in snow, and it piled up unnaturally fast. Her clothes were more suited for spring than winter, and soon she started shivering. It was impossible to see where she was, and even harder to find her way to a building with the drifting snow opposing her every step.

"Help!" Skye screamed, coughing as the icy air stung her mouth. "Is anybody out there?"

The only answer she received was the howling of the wind. Her fingers were beginning to feel numb.

"S-s-s-s-someb-b-b-b-body?" she chattered. "Help me!"

She stumbled and collapsed into the snow with her next step. She was going to die out here. No one was coming…

"Skye!"

Skye turned her head sluggishly through the snow to see a figure coming toward her. They were bundled in an oversized brown coat and multicolored scarf. She was so cold that she barely registered them picking her up. With a shudder, Skye curled up and clung tight to the coat of the mystery rescuer as they began to walk. She lost track of time, but all of a sudden the cold snow and air disappeared and were replaced by a warm, well lighted shop interior. Her head lifted up to look at her rescuer.

"L-l-l-l-leo?"

"Skye!" Leo looked relieved as a tall German lady came into view and wrapped her in a shawl. "Do you have anything to warm her up?"

"Ya," the woman nodded. "Kaffe?"

"G-g-g-good." Skye's teeth still chattered a little, and she held the shawl tighter around herself as Leo returned the coat and scarf to the woman. He then moved over to her and hugged her.

"There was a huge boom, and then all this snow started coming down," Leo babbled frantically. "Helga told me to stay inside, but when I said that you might be out there, she gave me her coat and told me to hurry. God Skye, I was scared that I wouldn't be able to find you in time. Your lips were turning blue when I found you on the ground. Please don't do this to me again Skye, okay? I don't want to lose you."

Skye gave a weak smile as they broke away. She hadn't meant to scare him, and she felt terrible about leaving him to go investigate now.

"I won't, Leo," she told him as Helga returned with the coffee and Leo paid her. "I promise you, I won't ever leave you again."
