I'm so kiddy to publish chapter after chapter, because the ending is... *speechless* -Dreamycupcake
AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN COULSON FINDS OUT.
"Ughhh thank god!" Skye moans. "Back on the solid ground. That bus started to feel really, really small." She says merely to herself as she thinks of Hunter and Bobbi fighting, Fitzsimmons silent awkwardness and even Coulson and May have kept their distance to each other.
She smiles happily as she walks away from the cargohold until she hears a loud thud which makes her turn around. "Oh my god. May?!" She rushes back to the opened cargohold to unconscious May's side. She shakes her. "May! Can you hear me?" She starts to panic, when she doesn't respond and looks around. Unfortunately everybody had headed back in the base.
"May?" She shakes her more roughly this time and her eyes open for a second. "Oh my god. Come back." She says between her sobs and Melinda May's eyes open slowly.
"Oh thank god. Are you alright? I need to call Simmons ASAP." Skye blurts out, before May gets a chance to reply. Just when Skye's about to press dial May takes a tight grip on her hand. "Skye." She whispers. "Please don't."
"What should I do? I don't know what I should do. What can I do?" Skye babbles on nervously which makes May sigh. "Help me up." She replies quietly and Skye does what her SO tells her to. She makes her sit up straight.
"On my feet. Skye."
"Look at you, May. You are not strong enough." Skye argues and May gives her one of death glares to her. May's dead serious. She needs to be up on her feet. Even, when her chest makes her double over in pain. She can't lose the battle now.
Skye sighs knowing there's no point to argue with her and helps her SO back on her feet. Her legs buckle and she almost falls on her knees, but Skye helps her to stay upright. "What do you need? Where do you want to go?" Skye asks and takes better hold of May.
"Not in the base. I just need some rest." May says and squints her eyes, when she feels her chest tightening.
"Why don't you tell me what's wrong?" Skye's voice shakes, when she helps her outside knowing she wouldn't want to stay in the bus. May moans in pain, when Skye helps her sit down on one of the wooden chairs. May quickly presses hand on her chest.
"Are you having a heart attack? What's going on?" Skye can't stay still. She's panicking. She really should go get Simmons. She almost leaves, but stops when she hears her voice.
"I'm sick." May pauses and takes a shaky breath. "and I'm not getting better, Skye." May's voice cracks and just like that Skye's tears start to fall. "No." She whispers and May looks away. She shakes her head. "You are not dying. You're not-"
May faces her. "Skye don't."
"You are not going to die!" Skye yells and May widen her eyes in horror. No one better hear her or she better not start an earthquake. Not because of this.
"Skye stop it."
"This doesn't make any sense unless...You are lying!" She points at suffering May. "You've lied to Coulson, your best friend, in the past! How do I know you are not doing some secret undercover of me right now to see if I'm on my right mind after my powers?! How can I trust you?!" Skye freezes after blurting everything out. She's losing it and for the first time she sees May break down to tears. Oh my god. What has she done?
Spoiler for the next chapter: Skye's father.
