Wow... Tough to write. I really didn't want to get into details and I think it's better that way. -Dreamycupcake.
Skye looks around the room and once again her eyes land on the body. Her father had asked her to look all May's medical records while arriving to one of secure location where he fixed wounded with his skills. The moment they got off the van he shoot down his guard saying their medical records match and that he was a good donor for May.
Skye can't look at May's chest opened so she looks at her beautiful yet pale face.
"You need to help me." Cal says with a rough tired voice. His hands in her SO's chest. Skye stares at him."W-what?" She stutters as she gets closer to the table.
"I have done my part, but I can't restart her heart without equipment. You need to give her a boost." Cal says with a serious face. Even he's doubting her abilities, but he needs to act strong for his daughter. "You can do it."
Skye shakes her head. "I haven't done anything like that. I can't do it." She tears down and goes near May's face. Gently putting hair away from May's face. "I can't. I can't do it."
"Listen." Cal says calmly and they lock eyes. "You can save her life. I believe in you and I think she would believe in you too. You care about her. This is your chance to give her a chance in life. Help her."
"I- I can't control my power like that. I can do small things. Play with water... ice. I-" Skye babbles fast. She knows she's May's last chance, but how can she do it? It's terrifying.
"That's good! You can do almost the same, but do it with a beat of your heart. Listen to it, start small and do the same beat. Carefully." Cal says proudly. He had no idea his daughter is this clever. From most of the gifted it took them take help from his wife to control their powers. Their daughter has done it on her own.
"O-okay." Skye gets a boost of confidence, when she sees how confident her father is about it. She keeps hearing May's voice in her thoughts. Encouraging her.
Cal guides her hand in May's chest, covering her new heart. "You can do it." He whispers to her and let's go of her hand. Before Skye starts she looks at May's face. "I'm sorry. I have to try." She whispers and then begins. Cal watches with amazement and it doesn't take long to May's heart to beat again. "Oh my god." Skye lets out in relief.
"You did it. I knew you could it." Cal says smiling and Skye kneels down to the ground.
"I did it." She says in shock and tears start to fall.
"She'll be okay." Cal says as he start to close May's chest. "So... I know this is not a good time, but I need to ask if you'll keep your promise. I need you to know it will mean a world to me."
Skye looks up to him and then May. She's alive partly because of him. She owns him. He has done bad things, but this is a chance for her to stop him. Reason with him. She now has the power. The upper hand. "The moment she's safe. Yes." She says and caress May's hair.
"You'll be fine. I promise." Skye whispers to her ear.
