I'm back! Been busy but I'm gonna try to make room for getting this story up regularly. Thanks for all the feedback! And thank you to my awesome beta reader, Skye Coulson, for keeping me in line and bouncing ideas with me!

Disclaimer: I know it's a little late but no I don't own it. Dammit.

"I Can't Wait To Get You Home"

"Show me how, Skye."

Two Months Later

Skye was now mostly healed. There were a few aches and pains here and there, but otherwise she was most capable to spar. Her father didn't want her out in the "field" because they all knew how vulnerable she would be – an easy target.

Odin had Fandral training her. She rolled her eyes every time he attempted to flirt with her. After a while, he got the hint and settled for being friends.

"Do you have your telekinesis perfected yet?" Fandral asked as he picked up a short knife. She gave him a look before holding her hand out and mentally calling the weapon to her. It immediately soared to her, letting her grip its handle. He was impressed. "I take that as a yes."

She was smug, smiling. Skye decided to catch him off guard. Reeling her arm back, she threw the knife in his direct path. He easily lifted both hands in front of him, sending the pointed object back to her. With one hand, Skye manifested a transparent bluish-white force field. The object dropped to the floor, clattering as it did so, in front of her.

"Nice!" The Asgardian warrior complimented. Skye smiled. "Are those the only two powers you have discovered?"

"Yeah." Skye answered, picking up the knives and walking the short distance to the table where the knives had been.

She looked out into the majestic scenery. They were in an open training stone building where they could enjoy the stationary warm weather and the cooling breeze from the surrounding water. It was one of Skye's favorite places, a place where she could think about Coulson and her team. Often, she'd sit on the wrap around stone steps to wonder what they were doing, what place was their investigation site, what object had their attention. She wondered if Coulson was any closer to finding a way here, or if he'd been forced to stop. Certain that he was missing her, as much as she missed him, she knew he wouldn't stop no matter what S.H.I.E.L.D. or anyone did. It was a matter of sensory; she could sense what he was going through.

But then again, she could sense things like that with those around her. It seemed his connection was the deepest.

"Oh my god!" She exclaimed out loud.

"What? What is wrong, Princess?" Fandral came to her side, extremely concerned.

"Just realized I got another power." She told him. He looked like he was hanging on to every word she said. "Empathy. So I'm the Goddess of Technological Advancement and Grief with the underlining abilities of technopathy, telekinesis, force field, and now empathy. That's four! What else can be thrown my way?" She threw up her hands and shook her head.

"Your father will be pleased." Fandral responded.

"Talking about which…I'm supposed to meet up with him." She just remembered. "We cool?"

Fandral dismissed her with a wave of his hand. She took off down the steps and ran as fast as she could to where her father was.

"You wanted to see me?" Skye asked, catching her breath.

Odin turned on his heels to look at her. "My word, why are you trying to catch your breath? Did Fandral not bring you here?"

She shook her head. "It's good to keep in shape. Running helps me to do that."

"You do realize that Asgardians have a natural healthy body that requires no 'work out' as you like to call it?" Odin pointed out.

"Yeah. Well, tell that to your daughter's Midgardian side because it doesn't agree with you. I do have better stamina and strength." Skye said, holding up her finger. "But it's a constant fighting battle between Asgardian and Midgardian makeup."

Odin felt guilty. "I am sorry you have to go through this."

She dismissed his thought with a wave of her hand. "Ah, no biggie. You learn to cope with it." Having caught her breath, she came forward standing next to him and looking at the view. "So what do you want to talk about?"

Odin clenched his jaw, not wanting to hurt his daughter any more than he has to. "It is about your return to Midgard."

Skye lit up. "Are you going to let me leave?"

"No." Odin answered, heavily. He let the elephant in the room sit for a few minutes before explaining himself. "Kaju is on Midgard. It is no longer safe for you to go back. You are much safer here. This is your home now." It broke Odin's heart to see her break down; it hadn't been his intention. Kaju was banished from Asgard, regardless of his thirst for the throne. His weaker baby girl was finally home, given the chance to live life in prosper, an abundance of riches and power.

Yet, she broke down and cried, sobbing loudly and clearly rejecting all that he was giving her. No more hope to return to Earth, no more hope to see her "family" again, no more hope to see her AC. She couldn't live without him. And it seemed that's exactly what she would have to do.

Closing her eyes, she heard a whisper. It was his voice. "As long as there's still life in me, just remember: no matter what gets in my way, I'll always come for you." In her cloud of despair, that promise lifted her drowning spirits.

What did ya all think about Tuesday's episode? I was yelling at the TV and flipping out at the two last scenes! Such a good Coulsye moment! I honestly don't think Melinda May is as a bad guy and betrayer as they showed. It momentarily made him speculate that she works either for or with the Clairvoyant. Yet when we weren't sure about Skye's fate, she went ballistic. Not exactly sure if it was all an act or what.

Oh! By the way, TBC...
