Author's Note

I'm still not taking requests, but this is the to-do list:
- Natasha (working on it)
- Quicksilver
- Pepper Potts
- Wanda
- Peter Parker
- Bobbi/Bucky
- More Matt, Bucky, Tony

No updates tomorrow.

Bruce Banner's chapter will be on the day after tomorrow along with an prelude to the Bruce x Steve x Skye chp (if I finish it in time).

I'm starting to see that some of the chapters will probably start to chain, so if you have any chapters that you've enjoyed and what to see a prelude or a postlude, feel free to request for one, please do only request for one though. If I wrote a pairing that you like but you're looking for something else, then also feel free to comment. I'll happy to revisit it and attempt to approach it in another way.

Skye has a weird soulmark and a pretty long one too. Simmons and her once discussed at great length on what kind of situation would have lead to her soulmate saying 'Okay. Who are you, how did you come here, why are you here and really. Why does anyone want to stowaway on a battle ship?' to her. Skye thought it might be the battle ship galactica amusement ride - because it made the most sense. Simmons thought it might have been those role-playing restaurant or games.

It became the longest running bet too. With Fitz quipping, "It might be a real battle ship."

And Simmons gloating him to bet $50 into the pool.

"Hey Jane, your math seems wrong here?" Skye points at a portion of the vast whiteboards, right below the pink and yellow sticky paper. Jane has an odd preference for sticky paper, specifically the pink and the yellow coloured ones, so she takes a blue one (because she likes blue) and corrects the equation.

"You're pretty good at picking that out-" Jane reluctantly says after checking her correction.

"I used to be a whiz at math. It's always constant in all the schools I went to," she shrugged. Numbers always came naturally to her so it made sense why she was that good at hacking.

"There's another here," Skye points and corrects it with another blue sticky paper. "Hooo. I think that fixes your entire theory." Jane got the theoretical part of how the bifrost bridge should work but the numbers wouldn't work. With that correction, the equation seems correct now.

"Hey you're right!" Jane laughs, clapping her hands excitedly. "Darcy! Darcy! The equation works! We can build the bifrost bridge now!"

"Really?" Darcy pounces on her, accidentally pushing Skye back into one of Jane's weird equipment.

"Shit! Look out for the-" Jane calls out.

Skye's hand lands onto the electric blue casing and then her world faded out.

"What the fuck!" Skye swore colourfully. Her head pounded, her tongue felt like it had been licking hot asphalt. "I don't feel so good."

"I- am- Groot?"

A tree was staring at her. A tree with blinking eyes was staring at her. So she did the most sensible thing she could do in her frame of mind. She screamed. You think she would have gotten used to weird things, radioactive squids, giant gozilla-like dragons. Kree but really its not about the weirdness of it.

On top of how her stomach feels like it's doing flip-flops and the weird feeling in her tongue, she has a tree staring right at her - in her fact. Anyone would scream.

"I am Groot!" It waved its weird hand-y branch-y thingies at her.

"Get away from me!"

"It is a female." said a male voice from behind the tree, stepping out from behind it.

"I am Groot," Groot the tree said in a mournful tone.

He was tall. No. Tall is not the correct word. He was HUGE that put Captain America and Thor to shame. Ok, he might be comparable to Thor. Skye grudgingly admitted on second thought. He has huge ass muscles with red tattoo down his skin and if that weren't enough, his daggers are as long as his forearm.

"Stay away! I am armed!" This would be the only time EVER Skye has never ever been this glad that she had undergone terragenesis. So there might have been the time with the invaders of the Doom horse bots, but that's another story.

"Yes you have arms." The man agrees. "But how are you-"

"Move aside thesaurus. You're scaring our stow away."

"Please do not call me a thesaurus." he muttered.

Then a moderately normal looking man (finally! He's actually very good looking) pushed past the guy. "Okay. Who are you, how did you come here, why are you here and really. Why does anyone want to stowaway on a battle ship?"

Well. Skye really didn't know how to respond to that. She opens and closes her mouth several times before deciding to say the first things that came to her mind.

"Hey. At least the form B-320 G on Accidental portal incidents was a real thing." She pauses, taking in his look of surprise. Then she realized that if B-320 G on Accidental portal incidents was real, then so is the one on time travelling. "Please tell me I'm in the correct time. I don't want to fill out form B-702C all the way to G when I get back home. Because that's going to be hell of an amount of paperwork."

"Well you can worry about paperwork later, beautiful. First we got a dictator to take down, a planet to liberate and then-" he pulls her up close, kissing her, "We're going for a vacation."

All things aside, at least it was a real battle ship not an amusement ride or some weird role-playing restaurant and she owns Fitz a lot of money.
