Thoughts and Echoes

The Bus

(Simmons POV)

I did everything. Everything that I could. But if we didn't get there in time. Oh I couldn't think of it. She had to pull out of this.

When I was still covered with her blood and they screamed, "Is it working?" It was the worst feeling ever. It had to work. This just has to.

I have to get the blood off. Where is that gauze?

Skye just has to make it. Without her I wouldn't have Fitz, he would have been lost in the terrible op with Ward. She was so strong. She got me to do things I'd never do. I wouldn't have been able to shoot Sitwell without her there. And then she found Fitz and the trouble he was in.

But why did they shoot her. Why?

What had I come to the supply room for? Got to get this blood off. This can't be real. Not Skye. Not Skye.

I wouldn't have been able to do what I did on the train. She helped me so much. Her confidence. I need her back. How could this happen?

Fitz? Fitz! Help. Skye. Oh help.

(Fitz POV)

Okay that wasn't normal. What did she mean excuse me? No, please excuse me. Please do. Please. I shouldn't have agreed. I let her go. She was so strong about it. She didn't even wince when I gave her the night-night gun to charge into a house with guards everywhere. How would I ever expect her to come out? There is no probability there. It was zero. I knew that. I let her go.

Go. Where did Jemma go? Skye was bad enough, but Jemma. Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. I don't care if she thought she would explode. And explode; she wrestles a guy to the ground over a grenade. How could that happen? I can't lose her.

Where is she? Ah, the storage room. I found you. Jemma, Jemma. It's okay. I have you.

A/N To all thanks for the great reviews. Yes, agree we need to find something to get the next episode (4 March). Another two chapters coming. Coulson is next. Hope you enjoy. Again reviews gratefully accepted.
