May stood there in shock. He said he'd see her in a few minutes. That the mission was almost over. That when they finished they would tell Skye that they are her parents. It wasn't supposed to go down like this.

A million thoughts went though her mind:

Why did they take him?

I thought the plan was for them to take Mike.

What do they want from him?

He was looking forward to telling Skye. Now he has to wait.

Is he gonna die?

No. He can't. Not again.

All of a sudden she saw the rest of the team looking at her.

"What now?", asked Fitz.

She couldn't think all she could see was the look on Skye's face. It was filled with tears and fear and confusion. But she had to think. He told her if things go south she has to take charge of the team. So she did.

"Fitz, Simmons go take care of Ward I think he got hit. Take the van back to the bus when you're done."

"Yes ma'am"

"Skye you and I will take Ace back to the bus and we'll contact HQ."

Skye picked up Ace and sat him down in the backseat of the car.

"Skye, where's my dad?"

"He's fine sweetie. Don't worry. You just need to stay strong right now ok?", she knew he was a smart kid so there was no use in lying to him. But she wasn't going to tell him either. The best choice was to distract him. "Do you like spongebob?"

"Yeah."

She made a few taps on her tablet and handed it to him.

"You can watch this during the car ride.", she put a pair of giant headphones over his head so he couldn't hear anything but the video.

She sat in the front passenger seat next to May.

"May, what the hell is going on? Is Coulson ok? Oh my god. What are we gonna do?"

Skye was in a state of panic. Tears were flowing down her face and she couldn't stay still.

"Skye. Skye, calm down ok? Breathe. I don't know what we're gonna do."

"How are you so calm about this. I'd think out of all people you'd be the one freaking out."

"Sk-, what do you-"

"I see how you look at each other. I may not be a super spy but I can read people. You two care about each other."

May was speechless. She was almost relieved that she figured it out on her own.

"You're a smart kid, Skye. Which is why I need your help on this case. Once we get to HQ their main focus won't be on finding Coulson. It'll be on shutting down centipede. So that's why I need you to do anything you can to find him."

"Coulson's a good man. I know he'd do the same for me.", Skye said as the pulled into the cargo hold of the bus. May shifted the gear to park.

"Thank you, Skye."

"And May? Don't worry I won't tell anyone."

There were a lot of changes over the next 36 hours. The bus was commanded by Agent Hand and there were at least thirty more agents onboard. Fitzsimmons started to get annoyed with all of the new scientist in their lab not obeying their very precise systems. Ward was reminded why he didn't enjoy working with other people. May was second in command. And Skye hid away in her bunk so she could hack away without anyone watching over her shoulder.

Skye had a question about the centipede soldiers so she left her bunk and looked for May. She found May in front of the briefing table and walked toward her. It wasn't until it was too late that she realized May was in the middle of a meeting with 10 other agents; including agent Hand.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize you were in the middle of-"

"You're the consultant? The one Coulson invited?", Hand interrupted.

"Yes."

"I want you off this plane."

Hand walked away while Skye was still trying to process what she just said.

"Woah woah wait. Your just kicking me out?"

"You're a distraction and your gone."

"I know I'm not some bad ass field agent like May or Ward but I can still contribute. All this protocol crap doesn't matter to me all that matters to me is Coulson."

"Hand, I know Skye's methods are unorthodox but she is apart of this team"

"Agent May, your professional opinion. Will this girl be any help on this plane"

"No"

Skye shot her a confused look. May winked, showing that this was the plan all along.

"These agents will escort you out Skye."

"I'll do it. I'm her S.O"

May ended up being right. Skye was able to locate where they we're keeping Coulson; something she wouldn't be able to do with a bunch of agents watching her every move. The team told Hand about Skye's hunch. But, as expected, she wasn't willing to send her men out there for a hunch. So the team took matters into their own hands and met Skye there alone.

The sight was an old bombing village, filled with fake houses and mannequins.

"Where's Skye? She should've been here by now", said Ward trying not to seem to worried.

Just after he said that, Skye rolls up in a really expensive car looking badass.

"Hey guys."

"Skye how did you-"

"Doesn't matter. There are super soldiers crawling all over this place and we need to find Coulson. We should spit up."

Simmons looked behind her and found a super soldier.

"I got this", said Ward as he took out his weapon.

"Ok the rest of us: split up and sweep this entire place."

The team ran all over the place; simultaneously fighting super soldiers and searching for Coulson.

Skye heard Coulson's scream from inside a house.

"May! I found him!"

Raina saw Skye and stood up.

"Its for his own good."

Skye didn't care what she had to say so she punched her in the face and knocked her out.

"Let me die! Please I'm begging you, let me die!"

"Oh my God, Coulson."

She went to the control panel to try to turn the machine off but it nothing was working. May found the power cord and yanked it out of its socket.

Coulson was still crying and screaming. So Skye grabbed his hands.

"Come back Coulson, come back."

"Skye-"

Raina was taken to the Fridge and the centipede project was eliminated.

That night May went to Coulson's office.

"Come on, Phil. I heard what you were saying."

"Melinda trust me. I'm fine. It wasn't real."

"Maybe not. But you still felt it."

"Yes I did. And I don't feel like talking about it yet."

"Ok when you're ready."

"Thank you. Now I believe we were planning on doing something after this mission."

"Right. Call her up."

He picked up his phone and pressed the intercom button.

"Skye? Agent May and I would like to see you in my office please."

Get ready for the next chapter because it's about to get real.
