2 weeks after the incident Skye finally starts getting back into a routine. She moved in with Maria in her apartment after she got checked out. The doctor wrapped her hands and wrists in a cotton elastic wrap and had her wear braces on top. They wanted to make sure that her arms heal and there are no extensive injuries to any nerves. They gave her instructions to have someone else, like Maria, tend to the wounds, wrap her arms, and then put on the braces. Luckily she only has to wear them for 6 weeks.

Garrett was arrested immediately and sent to jail. Maria is actively trying to find a new family, one that will be the best for Skye. Though she finally gets to return to school.

"I'm just worried," Phil exclaims, flipping pancakes on the stove.

Melinda walks around kissing him on the cheek and grabbing her tea, "Did Garrett get back you when you sent the email?"

Phil shakes his head, "No, and it's been 2 weeks. Jemma and Fitz are worried, and the school hasn't gotten notice."

Melinda sighs, "How much do you know about Skye?"

Phil thinks replying, "Not much. She doesn't say a lot. I asked the school but Fury just said that Garrett had been unresponsive to them too"

Wanda and Pietro walk into the conversation, Pietro speaking up, "What's wrong?"

Melinda responds, "Your father is worried about Skye."

"Oh, is she still not in?" Wanda asks.

Phil shakes his head,

"Why don't you ask Aunt Maria, I bet she'd know" Pietro suggests.

"Mom could always do that, you know her or Nat could find her" Wanda said.

"Yeah but Aunt Maria could do it more legally" Pietro says, making everyone laugh and Melinda playfully roll her eyes.

"Come on, I have to get you two to the train station," Melinda says, finishing her tea and grabbing her keys. She kissed Phil and said, "Try not to worry too much. If she isn't in today, I'll ask Maria to look into it"

Getting to school Skye felt weird going back. Maria said that she would pick her up or if anything were to come up she'd have someone else pick her up.

Walking in she saw Phil light up and move to talk to her.

"Skye, I'm glad your back"

"Yeah, uh- I was sick and then I hurt my arms, skateboarding."

"Oh no, I'm sorry"

Skye shrugs. She feels a pang of guilt lying to a teacher who actually cared.

"Skye!" She hears being yelled.

Her head whips to see Jemma and Leo beaming. They run over and engulf her in a hug.

"Skye?!" Jemma gasps worried, grabbing her arms. She forces herself to not pull away but instead smile, "Jemma it's okay I just had a fell- on my skateboard"

"You never told us you skateboard"

"Well it never really came up" Skye smiles softly.

"Well we're glad you're back. It isn't the same without you here" Leo replies.

"Same, I missed you guys" Skye agrees, "Have I missed much?"

"Well-"

"Yo FitzSimmons'' a boy yells from across the room. He walks over and introduces himself, "Oh hey girl, you must be Skye. I'm Trip, nice to meet you. I just transferred."

"You too," Skye smiles.

"Hey nice braces" He compliments.

"Thanks" She responds.

Surprisingly, it has been a pretty good day. She is catching up on her work with the help of FitzSimmons as well as her new friend Trip. Mr. Coulson looks relieved she is back and frankly she's glad to be back. Standing on the sidewalk with Trip and her friends she waits for Maria to pull up.

"Skye, are you going to the football game?" Trip asks, "We were planning on going"

Skye debates, crowds, yelling, cheers, action, bright lights. Everything was telling Skye to not go. She knows she won't handle it well, and there's no way she was going to make Maria pick her up in the middle of the game because of sensory overload. But she just made friends, and she really doesn't want to lose that.

She nods, "Sure, I'll ask Mar-my mom, I'll ask my mom"

"Great, hope to see you there" They cheer walking away.

Maria pulls up in a black SUV with the windows rolled down and wearing sunglasses, "Hey Skye, how was your day?"

"Good, I met Trip" Skye said simply, "Uh- there's a football game today and uh they all invited me to go"

"Who's they?"

"Jemma, Fitz and Trip"

"Sure, but are you sure you'll be okay to go?"

"I want to try" Skye says.

Maria nods, "I think that's fine, I will drop you off, and pick you up"

They start driving and they get some dinner before turning into a shopping complex.

"What are we doing here?"

"Well I figure you probably need a new phone"

"Really??"

"Yeah, I mean what if you need to reach me, or your friends,"

"Thanks Maria"

And 2 and a half hours later, around 7pm Skye is standing with her friends on the bleachers cheering their team on. Skye is having a good time. The noise does hurt her ears but she is trying to work through it.

Someone walking past her peripheral vision makes her turn her head to look. There stands Cal. Cal is an obsessed and looney guy. He approached Skye one time walking home from school a couple years ago and cornered her. She showed up everywhere stalking her. He told Skye that she was his daughter and that she should be with him. She's told her previous social workers numerous times, but Sharon, Wally and Patrica paid her no mind. She decided to keep it from Maria, since it must not matter.

He quickly approaches her and fearing she has nowhere to go she is shaking. He walks in front of her and speaks, "Hello Daisy"

"Excuse me uh, do you know him?"

"She's my daughter," Cal smirks.

Trip not liking the look in his eyes tells the man firmly, "Hey man, back up"

Simmons and Fitz, who also doesn't like this guy, frown. They scoot a little closer to Skye seeing as she backs up. The crowd grows louder and it makes Skye's skin crawl even more.

"Daisy you belong with me-"

"Her name is not Daisy, and you are a creepy guy. Now I'm going to ask you to walk away"

He scoffs, "I have a right to see you Daisy, you can't run from me".
