" Jarvis I will be right down, I know just how to protect Skye. "
( Present )
Tony Stark walked out of the lobby doors and was swarmed with cameras, voices and presses mics, " Mr. Stark moments ago a entire floor of your tower was literally electrified and some cameras a caught sight of Thor and another jumping down from one balcony to the one above said floor , care to explain what happened? " Tony Stark spoke" Certainly a worker of mine figured out how to supercharge the power grid safely." Every reporter was quiet till the main reporter spoke " Who is this friend of yours I am sure a few people will want to know who discovered this breakthrough. " Tony smiled and replied " My worker would like to remain unnamed till she says otherwise . That is all.. thank you" Tony walked back into his tower with a mischievous smirk hidden on his face. Meanwhile Skye dropped Thor, Clint, Grant and Steve before she appeared alongside and everyone looked around but no one spotted Loki " Where is he? " Skye growled as her father brought a knife to her throat " Father. This is not necessary they arent here to harm you. " Thor spun around and spoke " Brother release my niece immediately what she says is true. " Loki smiled as he asked " Daughter why are they here? " Skye smiled and used her powers to disappear and reappear behind her father putting a knife to his throat as she said " because I trust them and SHIELD is not pleased about you being my father. " Loki smiled as he dropped the knife and Skye released him and Grant was at her side instantly and Clint spoke " Hello LOKI. So why are you bugging Skye insisting that you must speak with her? You know she did and does have a life before you came. " His tone showed annoyance and bitterness making Skye sigh " Clint..." her warning was clear to everyone and Steve spoke " Sorry Skye but I have to agree with the Hawk. Loki why are you annoying Skye? " Loki frowned and spoke " I detected her in great distress and I was concerned since she is still healing from her injury. Daughter what happened? "
Skye groans as she replied " It was just an old memory. Now what have you found out? " Loki turned impassive and replied " Only that the Protectors started over four years ago when Tony Stark first came to light as iron man. They have relations with Manhattan barber and light shop on main street. " Steve and Grant crossed their arms in disbelief but Skyw smiled warmly at him. Skye closed her eyes and sent a message to her father ,and it read ' We must talk but SHIELD has me on a leash. Come to my side. " she looked to Steve and asked " Will Director Fury be opposed to me talking to my father unsupervised? " Steve opens his mouth and puts his finger out to enforce what he was about to say when Clint jumps in " Skye you can't do that!" Grant also cut in " Skye you can't... the director will have your head if you ignore SHIELD agent protocols, !" Skye scowled and replied " Oh well. " She turns to Loki and throws up a electricity dome around her and her father she mouths ' I am sorry ' to her friends that are not pleased with her isolating herself with her father." She turns to Loki and crossed her arms " Loki what aren't you telling me that the rest of my friends can't know? You are hiding something and I want to know what." Loki frowned and spoke " I will tell you what else I know once you have told me what caused your defense powers to skyrocket less than a half hour ago." he collapsed his hands behind his back as Skye growled " That's none of your business! " Loki takes a step forward " I am your father! I deserve to know what caused you emotional pain! "
Skye's eyes turning a solid emerald green as she growled " NOW YOU CARE? ? WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS ALONE AND NO ONE CARED ABOUT ME! ?! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS HURTING BOTH EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY! ?! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WENT FROM FAMILY TO FAMILY? !? YOU DON'T DESERVE ANYTHING FROM ME!" Loki takes a step forward and looses his temper and yells " YOU SELFISH GIRL! I DID TRY TO FIND YOU WHEN I DISCOVERED WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MOTHER'S VILLAGE! " Skye's eyes turned stone cold green as electricity runs up and down her arm clearly extremely mad as she said " MY ENTIRE LIFE WAS A LIVING HELL ! I HAD TO LEARN TO SURVIVE AND I WAS SO BITTER THAT MY PARENTS GAVE ME UP! I WAS ALONE AND NO ONE LOVED ME." Skye let a single tear escape her furious eyes Loki pleads still yelling " SHAKINA I HAVE NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU. .. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT ITS LIKE TO KNOW THAT YOU HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHILD BUT THAT SHE WAS ROBBED FROM YOU? ! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN THE ENTIRE GALAXY. Please let me in don't shut me out. " Skye's eyes softened to their normal luring brown as she was shocked and quietly whispered " I won't shut you out but I have to process what you just said. " She looked out to her concerned friends and gave them a small reassuring smile as she lets the dome down.
Skye sighed as she looks to her friends and asks " Do you want to know what memory caused my powers to go into turmoil? " Loki quickly spoke up " I certainly do." And Skye glared at him her glare was murderous as she said " You haven't earned that privilege yet... I am still very mad at you so please remain quiet."she snapped making her friends raise their eyebrows in shock as Steve replied " I don't know about them but I am curious as to your past ." Thor , Ward and Clint all nodded in agreement and she transports the five of them to the lab in avengers tower that just so happened to be empty and skye released a breath as she came up with a idea and asked " I can't explain it...but I can show you clips of it will you allow me to send the clips to your minds?" Everyone nodded albeit a little reluctant but wanting to be able to understand Skye better.
Skye's eyes turn black as she projects the images into their minds. Clint watches intently as Skye no more than eight years probably younger dusts a greeting room when suddenly a large hand shots out and grabs her wrist tightly making the young Skye squeal in pain and fright as her head snapped to her foster father as he growled " Why did you touch my limited edition Stargate personally signed by Richard Dean Anderson model?! " Skye tenses and replies " Mr. Peters it was gathering dust and asked me to dust the whole house." Mr. Peters growled and squeezed her wrist tighter making her cry out " You know what happens when you talk back about touching my stuff!" Skye cowers as she tries to pull her arm away from her abusive foster " Please no! Don't I wont touch it again I promise! Please Mr . Peters ... don't ahhhhhhh!" She puts her hands out in the air in a stopping manner as Mr. Peters started punching her furiously, he grabbed her by her throat and she gasped out "Please ... st-op." He squeezed tell her vision started to spot and she crumbled to the ground as he growled " YOU NEVER TOUCH MY STUFF YOU WORTHLESS GIRL! " He started kicking her in the ribs ruthlessly her crying out in pain, she used her arms as a shield and there was a sickening 'crack' as hit boot connected to her arms and she screamed and everything went black .
The next clip Skye is in the hospital unable to move as when a woman in a black suit enters with a file in hand " Hello Mary... I am so incredibly sorry for what's happened to you... Jacob Peters is being charged with child abuse in the highest degree in four accounts, two accounts of rape to your foster sister Abigail Hawkins ." Skye quietly asks " What did he do to me?" The CPS worker frowned "Mary I don't think I should say.." Skye groans " Tell me!" her voice weak and painful and when the worker saw her eyes she softly replied " He broke three ribs fractured 2 others, a broken wrist, broken left arm , your larynx is extremely inflamed thats why it hurts to talk so much, a twisted ankle and you're going to need therapy for your hip. And over three dozen bruises along your face and body." ( End of memories) Steve has a sorrowful expression on his face , Clint and Thor have murderous looks and Ward has tears in his eyes, Skye takes a shaky breath and suddenly three other voices speak up "Oh my God" "That was ugly intense" "Oh Skye." The five snapped their heads in the direction of the elevator where the three voices came from, and Skye gasped as Stark, Bruce and Natasha all stood there with horror stricken faces and Skye shakily asked "Ho- how long have you been standing there? "
Natasha frowned " As soon as he started yelling at you." Skye groaned before banging her head against the wall saying " Stupid...stupid I should've sent it to their individual minds not broadcasting it through the room. " Everyone frowned at her reaction as she slid to the ground bringing her knees to her chest and Steve asked " How old were you when that happened.?" Skye sighed " I was seven... that was my first foster family after wards I was in orphanages . That was my first abusive foster family. To answer your next question he was sent to prison for 25 years he should've got life but Abigail Hawkins and Jill Smith both died a couple days before the trial by unexpected heart trouble. The police werent much help." She hadn't known she was crying till Natasha passed her a tissue and the hacker quickly dried her eyes and with a impassive face she said " That is what memory triggered my preservation powers. Don't tell anyone please." She vanishes wanting nothing more to hide under a rock. Everyone is silent gathering their thoughts on what they just saw.
