A new team chapter 18
(Previously)
They walked down Main Street and Skye froze as she saw a unwelcome face.
(Present)
Skye was smiling when suddenly she froze as a person spoke " hey... Skye?" a male voice stopped her and her friends in there tracks. A handsome mid twenties black head thin but not lacking in six pack , stepped in front of Skye and the hacker slowly tensed not going unnoticed by her friends as she replied nervously " Ummm ... Hey Jason.." Jason smiled " Haven't seen you in years... It's good to see ya , how have you been? Just visiting Manhattan ?" Skye bit the inside of her mouth and replied " I have been good and yeah just visiting for a couple days...oooh how rude of me. Jason these are my friends Nat, Clayton, Steven, Douglas , Blake and Chris... Guys this is Jason." Skye slightly turns to them flashing a fake smile that put them all on edge as Jason greets them " Nice to meet you all... Skye maybe we can hang out some time? Like the good old days... " Skye opens her mouth and says two words before he interrupts again " Actually I -" " Excellent tomorrow 3 pm at the coffee shop we always went to ." Skye puts her hands behind her back letting her friends see electricity pulse in her hand quietly and Nat cut in " It's nice to meet you Jason but we really must be going... We are running late to meet up with our friends ... I hope you understand." she gave him a sweet smile and everyone nodded in agreement with her as she gave him a adorable smile and he nodded " Of coarse ... See you tomorrow Skye." They all say good bye and Skye rushes away making everyone jog to catch up with her. " Niece who was that young man?" Asks Thor as he reaches her side.
Skye muttered under her breath " This is just not my day." Skye speeds up till Clint comes to Grants side and whispers " She needs to talk to us before we get to the tower... Alley?" Grant looks to him and nods before motioning to tell Steve and Nat since Thor was keeping pace with his niece, once everyone saw a perfect alley they leaped into action. Grant and Clint grabbed Skye's hands faster then she could ask them what was going on she found herself in a dimly lit alley with her friends surrounding her . " what in the world guys?" she looked at them frightened and Steve spoke " Skye who was Jason? How do you know him?" Skye looked at the wall behind her friend and replied "I don't know what you mean..." her fake innocent act made them all roll their eyes " Skye cut the innocent act and just tell us... You made up fake names for us and had electricity in your hand when he suggested hanging out." says Clint with a stern expression and caring eyes. And Skye sighed " Lets just say that I never wanted to see him again and I haven't for two years." Grant moved to his girl friends side " What aren't you telling us ?" And She pinched the bridge of his nose " Look I know you all are wanting to help me but it was a long time ago and as long as I have you guys as family and friends I have nothing to worry about . If the time comes when I need to reveal what happened then I will but ... Please... Not today." her sincerity warmed their hearts and they silently nodded but there is a tense silence till Natasha says " Okay Skye ... But only if you promise I get to shoot the next person that makes you summon electricity in secret." Skye looked at her curiously before bursting out laughing.
They laughed and had a good time all through their way back to the tower, they came up the elevator smiles on their faces and joy in their eyes making Stark frown and ask " What did I miss?" Skye turned impassive " Nothing much ... I just needed laughter with friends to make me feel better after the day I have had." Everyone smiled warmly at her and she turned and asked " Tomorrow morning I am visiting Loki... Would any of you mind coming along?" she bit the inside of her mouth and waited as they mulled it over before Bruce spoke " I would but I can't sorry Skye... I will when I can." Steve smiled "Skye I wouldn't mind coming." " I'll come along Kid." said Clint and " I will fly by as well" cuts in Stark and Thor " I of coarse will be coming as he is my brother." "Your not going without me Skye." says Ward coming to her side. Skye smiles warmly and says " You guys are simply amazing!" Everyone smirked and Natasha shrugged "If Clint is going so am I.. Package deal and all." she winked at the hacker slightly and The hacker had to contain herself from squealing and impassively says " I am going at five am ... Everyone have a good night." she yawned and walked towards the stairs to take the long way to her room.
Skye started pacing in the hall way for around ten minutes when Ward found her " Skye what are you doing?" Skye pulled herself from her thoughts and frowned " My brain won't shut off... Grant I don't think I will be able to sleep ... My mind is going a thousand miles a hour." she sighed in frustration and Grant was silent for a moment. " Skye go get changed into appropriate sleepwear and I will aswell I have a idea." Skye raised a eyebrow but nodded, she went into her room and got into her flannel pajama pants and Captain America tank top that she now thought was ironic and nothing like the real person because Steve is so much better. She left her door slightly ajar and two minutes later Ward knocked on the door and she let him in, he sat down on the bed and said "Sleep I will lay down by you till you sleep... I can read to you if you want."Skye rubbed her eyes tiredly making Grants mouth twitch as he fought to contain his smile, She moved over to her side of the bed and got under the covers, he grabbed the book but she stopped him " I love you reading to me but can we just sleep? I like listening to your heart beat." she said with a small hint of a blush and Grant smiled kissing the tip of her forehead before pulling her down beside him, she rested her head comfortably in between his arm and chest as she rested her hand on his body. Skye's mind slowly turned off and as she fell asleep Grant started to move not wanting to wake her but she suddenly mumbled " No .. Grant stay."she snuggled deeper into him and he smiled happy that his girl friend found him comfortable and happy that he could help her sleep just by being there. He leaned over the side of the bed flipped the light off and got comfortable under the sheets.
The next morning Skye awoke slowly feeling nicely warmed by someone and she smirked as she turned to far her boy friend, she was about to tickle him when he spoke " Don't even think about it." she jumped back his unexpected voice frightened her. She brought a hand to her chest her heart beating loudly as she exclaimed " Good Gravy! Grant you almost gave me a heart attack!" she pouts as he smiles and opens his eyes, he leans over to face her "Thats what you get for trying to sneak attack me with tickles... And man you have guts to even try it on your S.O... normally if you were just my rookie not my girl friend as well I would make you run laps and do a hundred push ups. " she crosses her arms almost challenging him to try to make her do that and he responds " But I won't ... did you know your kind of cute when you pout Rookie? " he bops her nose with his finger and pulls her towards him again. Skye try's to fight the urge to curl up around him but she fails and groans " Your soooooo comfortable... we can't be late though my father will explode thinking something happened to me and then I will have a headache from all the messages. By the way Thanks... I haven't slept that good in years, your amazing robot."
Grant smirks as he kisses her forehead before gently moving her off " I slept good as well... Now come on get up or I am making you do 20 push ups every minute you make us late. You have ten minutes!" he is off the bed and out the door faster then Skye can throw a pillow at his head. The hacker sighs and heads into the bathroom to get ready for what she hopes will be a wonderful and peaceful day.
