Yeah, yeah. Chapters are short. I know. But this story is short in general. Hence the term, short story. Actually I think this chapter is longer compared to the other ones.

Recap: Skye was on a helicopter with a bomb ready to blow. She dialled for FitzSimmons for help on how to stop it.

Chapter Four:

Skye's fingers found the panel and she pulled it. But nothing happened. It didn't move. She tried again grunting in the process. The panel didn't move.

"It's welded shut." Skye told them. "I guess they thought of that too."

"No..." Leo muttered. "Hang on Skye. I'm looking. We're all looking."

Skye stood there speechless. She looked at the timer as it continued to tick away.

1:15...1:14...

Beneath the chopper, the bay turned to water then to concrete. Skye could see the police force guiding the crowds of civilians being herded towards the subway. They'll never make it out in time.

Without hesitating, Skye knew what she had to do.

"It's okay, Fitz." She said.

"No!" He yelled back. "Skye, no! I'm - we're still looking! There has to be another way!"

"There is."

Skye rose to her feet. She pulled out her gun from it holster. Her fingers flexed on the pistol grip, and she stared down at the pressurized tank of drugs.

"This crap is volatile." Skye stated. "Well, from what I've learned from SHIELD, there's nothing that a good old fashioned explosion can't fix."

OoOoOoOoOo

"What...?" Jemma stammered. "What is she saying? Skye! Skye, don't please."

"Skye," Phil started being more serious, "take the chopper to the ground, we'll do it here. That's an order! You hear me Skye?! I order you to get down here!"

OoOoOoOoOo

Skye peered over the edge. She was still thousands of feet up.

"No time, AC." She told him. "Now or never."

OoOoOoOoOo

Phil grimaced, his eyes crinkled; Jemma's eyes filled with tears and Leo looked at the ground with no expression.

"I guess you're going to get away with it this time, Skye." Phil told her. He could hear a small smile etch onto her face which was what she really needed right now.

"Skye," Jemma started as the tears did, "I need you to come back. I'm not strong enough for this place."

"But you're smart enough." Skye told her. "Smarter than I ever was. Keep learning at Hogwarts and make sure you and Fitz stay in one piece. Make note if The Calvary cries over me, which I doubt, and Coulson, thank you."

Jemma wiped away the tears streaking her cheeks. Leo rubbed her shoulders and Coulson gave a small smirk.

"What do I tell Ward?" Leo asked her. He noticed that Grant was the only person Skye didn't mention.

OoOoOoOoOo

Skye swallowed the hard lump now in her throat. She tried not to cry about Grant Ward as she was trying to think of a last message for him. She should have called him but she didn't have the time to. Grant Ward. A man she loved. And he loved her back. A lot. There were so many things she wanted to tell him and goodbye wasn't on the list...

"...Tell him he owes me one."

Skye hung up.
