Skye lay on the exam table as Simmons and Lady Sif, who had come at Thor's call, examined her. The Asgardian seemed to be running some type of device over her and she felt warmth run through her quickly. Finally they stepped back and Ward helped her sit up, she lifted her gown to see the wound gone from her side.

"This device would only heal an Asgardian," Sif placed the device down and turned to Skye. "However, it had to be calibrated so it stands to reason that Skye is only half-Asgardian if not less yet still Asgardian genes remain."

Simmons smiled and nodded, "perhaps you know why she does not display many Asgardian traits."

Sif looked at Skye and then at the data on a nearby glass panel. "The mental acuity and quick reflexes are traits of Asgardian biology as is her magical ability to resurrect a life however," her attention turned back to Skye. "The reason you are not physically strong and age as a human is due to your human mother. It is said that when a human woman gives birth to an Asgardian child, the child displays human traits while the opposite is true when a child is born to an Asgardian mother, despite the race of the father."

"So," Skye put her hands out. "Any idea who my father is?"

"That would be a difficult search to conduct as many Asgardians are known for their trysts on Earth. In recent years it has become impossible to return but your age aligns with many such trips so I highly doubt your parentage will be discovered."

Ward looked down at Skye, "what can Skye expect in her future?"

"Your biology has not slowed to the rate equal to that of an Asgardian but since your magic was activates it has done so considerably. There is little doubt you will have a longer than average human life span." She stepped around the table, "I caution you though about your magic. Your gift is rare indeed, usually reserved to the royal family but not unheard of in common Asgardians. Use of it can have a profound effect on the biology of those you resurrect, it has been known to harm as well as heal. Never resurrect the same person twice as you will find that the person you resurrect will be just as frozen as you…tied to your energy till your life has ceases to be. That tie is like that of Lorelei over men, a man twice resurrected becomes devoted to you and becomes violent if you are injured. One such man centuries ago had to be put to death because he started a war when his betrothed twice resurrected him before being gravely injured."

"Oh that would explain Agent Ward's behavior." Simmons piped up and shrugged, "Fitz theorized it was because of Skye's condition combined with the remaining Berserker madness coming forth."

Sif's attention turned to Ward, "you have held a Berserker staff?"

"It's a long story but yes I have." Ward tightened his arm around Skye's shoulders and she smiled at him. "Usually it's easy to forget the madness and focus it on the job."

"There is little wonder why Lorelei chose you now, she sensed the Berserker rage in you and knew she could manipulate you. It is best then that Skye lay injured during her time among you as she would not have hesitated to put an end to the life of a fellow Asgardian who challenged her."

Skye pointed her thumb at Ward, "I'm more concerned with the fact I resurrected him twice."

"Be rewarded that you are bound by love because his devotion will not waver and as he is tied to your energy, he will not cease to live until you draw your last breath. As a Berserker warrior, he will follow you to the gates of Valhalla at such a time the Valkyrie collect you."

Simmons seemed to hurry around the table, "what about any harmful side effects?"

"If he has not already suffered than he will not." Sif turned and picked up her sword from a nearby counter. "Be wary of your attempts to become with child, children born to Berserker warriors are born with their parent's rage. Also, you should know that very few children live from the union of humans and Asgardians due to the magic or strength the children hold within them so the likelihood of one as powerful as you carrying a human child to term is unlikely." She watched their faces. "I apologize if I do not give good news but it is news you must be aware of." Turning to Simmons, the warrior tilted her head to the device on the table. "Do keep that so that you are able to heal Skye when she becomes injured again."

Ward's hand tightened on Skye's shoulder as he remembered his son, "thank you Lady Sif."

The warrior turned to the two and nodded, "I will attempt to find your father but I cannot guarantee it will be a successful search. I will send news to Thor as soon as I have answers."

"I appreciate it." Skye smiled as the warrior left them.

Simmons fussed over Skye for another ten minutes before Skye realized something and Ward instantly recognized the change in her demeanor. "I forgot to tell Sif something, it could help her find my father." She stood up and smiled at Simmons, "I'll be back I promise Jemma."

Ward followed her as she made her way through the carrier, a jet would take Sif back to the Bifrost sight in New Mexico as they had asked her not to use their helicarrier as a departure sight. They finally caught up to the warrior speaking with Thor and Jane Foster on the deck of the helicarrier, which was currently resting on the ocean surface.

"Lady Sif," Skye yelled and the woman turned to see her. "I forgot to tell you something, it could help you find my father."

Sif turned to her, "what have you forgotten to speak of?"

"When I was in my coma…"

"Coma, I am unfamiliar with this term."

Jane smiled at the warrior, "the dreamless and deathless sleep is what you refer to it as."

"I see, do continue."

Skye smiled, "anyways, when I was in my coma I saw the universe. I can't describe it other than that; it was like seeing everything all at once, it was beautiful."

Sif and Thor seemed to share a look, the Asgardian Avenger put his hand to his chin. "You do not believe…"

"It would align with her age and explain much of what has happened." Sif turned to Skye and bent down to one knee. "Your loss has been heavy on many of us, it is my honor to be in your presence Princess Skye, daughter of Hoenir."

"I'm sorry, did you say princess?" Skye put her hands up, "no, that's not even possible. I mean, I'm just…"

Thor turned to her, "your loss was heavy on your father, he went into seclusion after his brother, my father, refused to allow a mortal woman to stay among us in Asgard. He banished the woman and the child within her womb to stay upon the Earth, Hoenir was prevented from returning and we were all told that your magic killed you and your mother along with her people. Since that time Hoenir has been in seclusion due to the pain of such loss."

"I must return to Asgard and inform Hoenir that his daughter lives." Sif rose and turned to Ward instantly. "As a Berserker warrior, it is your duty to protect the princess with your life. With Loki's death and Thor's self-imposed exile, upon Odin's final rest it will place Hoenir and you in line for the throne of Asgard."

The woman walked off and Skye turned to look at Thor, he smiled at her and instantly pulled her in for a hug. "Gentle on her Thor, she's not Asgardian completely." Jane gently reminded the thunder god.

"It is good to know you are alive my dear cousin," Thor pulled back and looked at Skye. "We shall speak of Asgard and your family in the days to come. For now I must depart with Sif to escort her back to the Bifrost."

The man left with Jane and Skye stood frozen, "I don't want to be a princess…I just want to be Skye."

Ward put his arm around her and kissed her head, "maybe your father will be so happy to see you he won't care what you do. Right now that doesn't matter," he looked down to her brown eyes searching for his. "Come on, let's go get you something to eat and I can tell you everything that you missed out on."

"So I'm Asgardian and a princess and you still want to be around me?"

The specialist just chuckled and paused to kiss her, "because of you we're tied together, I'm your personal Berserker warrior and even if I wasn't," pulling her closer he leaned his forehead against hers. "Every day of my life until I stop breathing, you're my personal angel and my partner. Besides," he pulled back with a laugh, "maybe consorting with a human will get you banished."

"I like the way you think Agent Ward." She smirked and followed him inside the Helicarrier.

A/N: Okay so...yeah! Next Skye finds out about the baby and has a moment of realization about herself.

Thoughts and theories anyone?
