AN: Morning. I apologise in advance for the slightly big AN. Starting off, many thanks to my Beta MegaDiary123. Now... we are officially in the Avengers movie. I've tampered a little bit with the timeline, considering that normally the Avengers are 2 years after Iron Man 2. So, I'll make it up later on and instead of 1 year between Avengers and the first season of Agents of SHIELD we'll have 2 years. I hope you enjoy, since Skye is part of the movie now and I've changed some key points in the story.

Skye's POV

We had been in the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility for a good solid three days, observing Dr. Selvig, the other personnel and the Tesseract. After Fury gave us the mission, the others had left his office for the two of us, Clint and me, to be briefed. The pirate, wanted to harness this new power source and use it for weapons of mass distraction, in case any other aliens were to come to Earth like Thor had the last year. My new Level 7 Clearance gave me access to "Phase 2".

It was only normal for the director to want to keep a close eye on what was happening inside the Joint Facility that we shared with NASA. This is how Clint and I were sent in. Fury mainly wanted Clint to be observing and report what was happening, but given that he was still my S.O.,that I really needed some proper field experience and that I had passed all my tests with flying colours, it was decided that I would be sent as well.

Clint, or Agent Barton as I had to call him when we were in mission, was hiding in an upper corner of the room, since he was better at observing what was happening from a distance. Hidden in his 'nest' as he was, I was left to be on the ground and walk around, closer to the alien Cube than my partner was. Generally I was trying to keep my distance from the Tesseract, given that it was from space and we didn't really know how it worked and all.

And the safe distance that I had set for myself was kept until the third day when I started feeling it vibrate, more than normal that was. My head snapped at its direction and I closely observed it. Even closer than I had in the past.

"Agent Skye? Talk to me, what's happening?" I heard Clint at my ear.

"I am not sure" I replied as I took careful steps closer to it. "Its vibrations increased drastically" I continued as I closed in the object.

An alarm was set off as the Tesseract started glowing even bluer than its usual colour. I looked around as scientists were running all over the place, trying to shut everything off only for the Cube, as it was a power source, to turn everything back on. That was when I first heard this voice. It was a whisper really, and I wasn't able to hear it clearly but it was obviously trying to say something. "Do you hear that?" I asked my brother who, despite the whole fuss around the Tesseract had yet to come down.

"Hear what?" He asked and the question was genuine.

I shook my head trying to get rid of the whispers, only for them to slowly peak up in volume. It was still low enough for me not to understand a thing, but it was really hard to ignore. "I thought I heard something, my bad" I lied and it didn't even sound convincing to my ears. I was relieved when Clint didn't pressure on the matter, though I knew he was going to ask again in the future. "I think we should call the director" I turned and look at where Clint was hidden.

His eyes and all his focus was on the Tesseract misbehaving and he seemed to think my suggestion over. "I think you're right"

For someone who was managing a huge organisation such as S.H.I.E.L.D. the pirate came in a whole hour later. In this hour the Tesseract had started spiking more frequently, not in a specific pattern but it was clear that something was affecting it. I was going through different scenarios and possibilities as to what might have caused this to the Tesseract. I briefly thought of Jemma and if this was what was going on in her head all the time.

As if in epiphany, my eyes lit up because of a probability that I came up with that its possibility to be true was quite high, in my opinion.

"Talk to me, Doctor" Fury came in the room and asked Selvig who was, at the moment, observing the Cube really closely.

I had gone to the side, carefully looking at the conversation happening until Selvig said that "She's throwing off interference… radiation. Nothing harmful, low levels of gamma radiation"

My mind instantly went to one person, who was in the Avengers Initiative as well. Bruce… Well, no. I would have to disagree with the doctor here, because gamma was not something to mess with, even in low levels. So, no, not harmful was a wrong speculation to make no matter how good of a scientist he was. And Fury seemed to share my opinion since he voiced the same thought. "Where are my agents?", he asked and I took this as my cue to come from the sidelines.

"Director" I greeted with an incline of my head.

"Agent Skye" he said back. "Where is agent Barton?" He questioned, looking around and waiting for my partner to appear.

"You know his code mane, sir. He's up in the corner, keeping an eye on everything that's happening from a distance. It's easier for him to understand the overall situation that way"

We started walking towards the Tesseract, who had yet to stop misbehaving or vibrating. "I gave you this detail so you could keep a close eye on things" he countered.

"That's why I'm on the ground. With Hawkeye on an upper level and me down here we get a better overview of what's happening around. I strongly believe that the chances of something getting past us are extremely low" I voiced with confidence, though with seriousness as well because of the situation we were in.

Without stopping our advance towards the alien object, another question was formed. One that was completely expected from my part but still tricky nonetheless. "Have you seen anything that might have set it off?"

I felt the Cube sent off another, the strongest one yet, wave of vibrations just as a doctor from the room called Selvig over and reported it spiking. "No one's come or gone since we arrived and Selvig's clean. No contacts or IM's, and given my hacking abilities I doubt I missed something" We reached the Tesseract. We were close enough that we could touch it, but not stupid enough to do so. "If there was any tampering, sir, it wasn't at this end" I concluded.

"At this end?" The pirate questioned.

I turned to look at him and then pointed at the glowing item. "The Cube is a doorway to the other end of space, right? Just before the whole misbehaving thing started it started slowly vibrating". I could see Fury titling his head on the side with a 'seriously?' expression on his face. "I did not use my powers, sir" I whispered closer so that he was the only one other than Clint, who was in my ear, to hear. "It being as sensitive as it is we had agreed for me not to quake it and risk setting it off. But I could feel the vibrations coming off it in waves. So, since this thing is a portal of sorts, I am guessing that someone wants to come through. Doors open from both sides after all"

Just as I finished the Tesseract vibrated so hard that the whole building shook and the glowing blue patterns coming off it grew in scale. Fury and I backed off, creating some distance between the two of us and the foreign object as the energy it produced suddenly amplified. This energy sent off a beam towards the opposite wall. The whispers that I had initially heard peaked up in volume and I had to actually close my eyes as the sound pierced my skull. It turned out that it was a smart choice, given that a moment later there was a blue light that filled the room and I would have had to shield my eyes either way.

Just as I opened them again my gaze quickly shifted to where the Tesseract's energy had just gathered. And in my surprised there was a man kneeling there.

Silence filled the room as no-one, apart from some heavily armed agents, dared to move or close in on the stranger. He slowly got up and only then did I get to see a spear on his hand, glowing blue at its end. From what I could gather at the moment it looked a lot similar to the Cube.

"Sir, please put down the spear" Fury eventually spoke, breaking the silence.

The stranger seemed to just notice the director's presence. He looked at him and then at the spear on his hand. A mischievous smile appeared on his smile and only one word formed in my head. Fuck. I jumped at Fury, pushing him out of the way just as a blue beam was shot at him.

I watched in horror as he pierced agents, threw knifes and killed people as if this was just his morning routine… a second nature to him. "Take cover" I yelled at Fury, not caring about formalities at the moment, other than making sure the man was safe. I saw an arrow fly and get completely dissolved midair, as a beam was shot to where Clint was hiding. With no time to think about the safety of my brother I kneeled, hosteling my gun since using my powers was out of the picture, given how unstable the Tesseract was at the moment. With my fingers tightly wrapped around the Heckler & Koch 30, I pulled the trigger aiming at the intruder.

It was clear as day that my bullets hit their target, but they seem to only anger him. So the next beam that was sent off his weapon was directed at my location.

I tried to roll away, but the energy of the spear made me loose balance and awkwardly land a lot further that I had originally planned. I tried to get up and from the corner of my eye I could see the man closing in quickly. I twisted my right hand, in which I was holding my gun, in a futile attempt to shot him again. Only, he was too close and with his hand he grabbed my wrist. I tried to take it away, only for his grip to tighten and for me to stand helpless in front of him.

His head tilted to the side, his eyes boring into mine and the smile never leaving his face. "A Kree experiment, how fascinating" he whispered to himself but I heard it as well. Then something changed in his expression and he said, "You have heart" just as he placed the tip of his spear at my chest, pricking the skin underneath a little.

The blue energy danced, crawled its way to my torso and let this cold feeling take over.
