Grant had rarely felt this tense. He sat against the edge of the roof, one arm wrapped around Skye who was still clinging to his side. His hand gently rubbed the small of her back and laid his head on hers, whispering comforting phrases to help her keep calm, but the feigned peacefulness only went skin deep.

Kara sat to his left, her legs crossed as she switched her gaze from him to Skye. She faced them from her position just in front of his knee. Her right one bounced up and down with her impatience and her hands were playing with the ends of her hair.

A loud, crumpling sound caused all three to whip their heads around towards where their apartment was.

"What was that?" Skye whispered. Grant looked at her quickly. Those were the first words she'd said since the army had turned up to arrest all remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. The ground trembled a little.

"Sounded like a car being crushed." Kara replied, almost as quietly, glancing back and forth from the skyline to her friends.

"By what? I didn't hear a tank drive up." Grant said, confused.

"Well, what do you think it was?" Kara snapped back. "We can't exactly look over the edge."

"Guys." Skye muttered, effectively breaking up the argument. "Enough."

"Sorry." The other two said simultaneously.

"Grant." She continued. "How much longer can we stay here?"

"We can't leave until the army's gone. Whatever forensics team is there won't have to stretch beyond the street."

"Poor Bakshi."

"Yeah." Grant said softly, but he didn't really feel sorry for the man. "Why were you asking, are you getting cold?"

"No. But the anaesthetics have worn off and my head's burning."

"Burning?" Kara asked with alarm. "Why is it burning?"

"I think the drugs triggered something." Skye replied, shifting her position against Grant so she could hold her head with both hands.

"In your system?" Grant clarified. "What the hell…"

"I'll tell you everything once we're somewhere else." She cut across him. "Where's the next safe house?"

"Wyoming." Grant answered quietly. "Might have to do it up a bit though."

"I take it the place doesn't have food, then?" Skye asked a little hopefully.

He laughed. "No, it doesn't. You hungry?"

"Yep."
