"The secret is out…"

Thoughts and Echoes

The Bus

(Coulson POV)

Skye. Skye, how did this happen? You were only supposed to do communications. Out of the away.

When we got made, May was supposed to be there. But she wasn't. Cybertec Security was ready, almost too ready. At least she got us the truck. But she didn't make it back to the train either, she made it to the Bus. Then that's May riding in like the Cavalry she is.

And the Ward's little confession, May deserves better than that. Doesn't he know that it needs to be love as opposed to sex. I certainly won't agree with that. I know I can let May handle it. She certainly handled Russo. But she deserves better.

Russo. Russo! That was my fault. I should have never trusted him. Camilla proved that you couldn't trust anyone. Why would I trust Russo without checking more? Skye, I am so sorry. You didn't need to be the hero.

Then Fitz and all he said proved that you were, and certainly Simmons was courageous too. She wrestled a guard to the ground while he was holding a grenade. And I know this shook her. Skye, you're like a sister to her.

But you took the lead. From yelling for Fitz to get down to ramming a suitcase into an armed security guard, you were amazing. Then you tell him to follow the case and it leads to Quinn. You got Fitz to activate the tracker. You wouldn't let Quinn get away. And then you storm the place yourself?

The Quinn and his self centered announcement. You went in alone. And yes, you mean a lot to me. You restored me. You restored my faith in what we do.

Oh no. Oh God why? Please hang on. Just hang on.

Skye. You can't do this. Fill me with hope in this world and then just go. It can't be. You have to come back. I won't give up on you. You did not give up on me. You gave me a will to live, now you need to.
