Little bit of Skye and May.
Skye leans tiredly against the small laptop of hers. Her personal life is a total mess, but only thing that's keeping her from falling apart is this team. She thinks all of them.
Fitz and Simmons. They are both in agony, because they can't change the past and just go the way they were before. Trip admiring his grandfather for the things he did in the back of the day, because what he did it certainly gives them all hope.
Coulson died, because he was stabbed into the chest by Loki and brought to life after he was injected with alien stuff.
And May- she's the person who taught her to be strong emotionally and physically. She honestly first thought May didn't have any feelings, but Coulson told her why she is the way she is. Although she has improved a lot while she has been looking after him. Their bond is deep and she hopes to find that some day.
Skye looks around the empty lounge kind of space. No one's there except her sitting on the comfy couch. She then decides to go to May, who's been a lot in the cockpit nowdays. It bothers her even more knowing that she's deliberately trying to avoid them. Actually not really them, but him. She likes puzzles, but May, she's a hard one to crack.
May is sitting on the pilot seat. After each attack she's so damn exhausted. Only if she could close her eyes just for a moment. She leans into the backrest and hears someone open the door. Her eyes open tiredly, she knows exactly who it is.
"Hi." Younger agent greets her brightly. Always beam of sunshine and that's what they need in this team. Positivity and hope are what she needs as well. May doesn't turns to face her, but smiles weakly. Skye walks next to her. "Would you mind if I hang out here?"
When May doesn't answer Skye nods. "I try not to babble too much." She said which could only mean she's about to. May tries hard not to roll her eyes. Sometimes Skye is just like Phil. Awkward, but adorable.
Skye sits down and observes the woman next to her. May looks tired. She shouldn't fly so much, not when Trip could fly too.
She can feel Skye's stare and it's starting to annoy her. "Skye." She says and startles the younger woman. "Yeah?" Skye fake coughs.
May turns to face her the first time since she came in. "You're not talking." She says with a low voice giving out the fact she sounds exhausted and little breathless.
"Right." Skye promptly says and then smiles. May turns to look the monitors. "So umm. You think he's going to be okay?" She suddenly asks and May's eyes widen momentarily.
"Director I mean." She explains hesitately. "You think he's going to stay okay after finding that stupid city he kept carving everywhere?"
"Skye." May sighs.
"I know Coulson said he's alright, but who knows what happens when he gets to the city right? I mean what if-" That's when May cuts her off.
"He's not going insane, Skye. When he gets to the city then he's likely trying to find something in there. Something that affected-" She suddenly stops talking and Skye decides to continue for her. "That affected the alien? What if alien's mission was to destroy the city? What if-"
May glares at her. "Stop. You're going mad if you're gonna continue with this. We just need to trust him. Trust him, Skye." She whispers the last words. Skye nods.
"Good." May says and reaches out to press some button. Skye notices her hand is shaking. Shaking because she has no strengh left. "Too much tea."
Skye nods and yawns. May smiles. "You could use a cup."
Skye stands up. "Okay that's my cue..." She suddenly turns around and leans closer to May. "You should sleep. I'm sure Trip is happy to fly the bus for a while." And with that she leaves.
May knows she should, but that could make her look suspicious. Because she usually flied or the bus was on autopilot. Now she has been hiding in here, knowing Coulson wouldn't come to disturb her while she sat on this chair, but if she went out he'd come to her.
I know Skye's changed after season 1, but I'd like to think she's still that funny awkward snarky girl.
