A/N: Hey! So here's another installment :) These should be more daily from now on.
Thank you to annavale23 and changingdestiny40 for your reviews! :3
Kara, against the advice of Grant, crawled to the opposite edge of the roof to check that the sounds they were hearing were of the army leaving. She waited for a few moments, ignoring Grant's hissed orders to get back, the slowly popped the top of her head over the lip, just enough to see.
"Kara! Get back here now!" Grant sounded furious, but she wasn't too bothered. Satisfied with what she was seeing, she backed up and scooted over to the others.
"What did you see?" Skye asked, before Grant could start spitting at her. Thankfully, he remained silent, but Kara could see he was fuming.
"It's cool. They're going. Whatever was left of S.H.I.E.L.D. when they got here is going with them."
"We'll have to leave for Wyoming as soon as we get back to the car." Grant said through gritted teeth. Clearly he was going to discuss it at length with her later, and the look he was giving her confirmed it. Skye, subconsciously perhaps, stretched her right arm across Grant's torso and rubbed soothing circles into his side. Kara hid a smirk when this appeared to relax him, and was tempted to take a photo to hallmark the moment.
As the last of the noise faded away, the three of them stood up carefully and as quietly as possible, and made their way down the fire escape. Grant had to help Skye walk, and that hadn't changed by the time they reached the sedan. He was growing increasingly worried that they'd have to take her back to the hospital, but didn't want to risk capture by the government.
"Are you sure you don't want any painkiller tablets?" he asked for the third time.
"Yes, I want painkillers, Ward, but I don't want the burning to increase once they wear off."
Ooh, she called him Ward! Kara thought. Back off, Grant. Polite concern at this point is best. To her relief, Grant seemed to pick up on that without her having to open her mouth.
"Okay, well try to sleep. Maybe that'll help." He said softly, sliding into his seat and buckling in.
"Will there be food when I wake up?"
"Of course." Kara interjected before Grant could answer. She shot him a warning look as Skye nodded, satisfied, and drifted off to sleep.
"Kara." Grant said in a low tone as he pulled out of the parking spot. "You know that she's going to be more grumpy if I don't have food when she wakes up."
"So get the food now, and you're good." She replied like it was a no-brainer. "Besides, she needs to sleep, and I was the one who promised her, not you."
He grumbled, and was silent for a while.
