Fix the sky

Skye

She wasn't a happy camper; she was far from a happy camper in this moment. Her eyes were locked on the doctor who's talking to May in that moment. Sure, the Avengers and Fitz had made sure to change the time and meeting place for the check up with Dr Strange and Skye is happy that they go through all this trouble just for her, didn't mean she wasn't happy to see the man once more. She knew she should probably be listening into what is being said, they are talking about her health after all. She knew May would tell her if anything were of big importance.

Turning her attention back to her hands once more, she wished for a third time she had been allowed to take her phone or laptop with her, mostly so she had something to do with her hands. She hated being this still, there was so much she could be doing in this moment, she could be hacking into JARVIS to make a few changes to the program, maybe hide a few things from Tony. She could be playing Mario Kart with Leo and the others; listen to some crazy things the Avengers had done or even listen to the stories Steve could tell her about WW2.

Anything is better than sitting where she is now. She would even take tell Coulson about all this over where she's right now and telling Coulson about all of this is something she really don't want to do. She had imagined many times how that conversation would go, and most of the times it wouldn't have ended all to well. Feeling the familiar tightness around her heart and throat, Skye rises from the chair. Without a single word to either May or Dr Strange, Skye leaves the lab and heads directly for the elevator.

She could feel how May and Dr Strange had looked after her when leaving the room, but in that moment the only thing she could think about was to get away. She didn't have to tell JARVIS where she wants to go, the elevator starts to rise to floor where her room is located. Eyes locked on the door to her room, Skye misses that someone else is on the floor. Dropping on her bed, she can hear how the door opens once more.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Just tell me."

Lifting her head from the pillow, Skye looks at Leo who is standing right by her bed.

"Why do you need to know so bad?"

"So, I can cheer you up."

Leo smiles, making Skye narrow her eyes. She didn't need this right now.

"It's not your job to cheer me up."

"Yes, it is. Cheering you up is my job."

Letting out a huff of annoyance, Skye sits up in her bed properly to look at him.

"Well then you fired."

"You can't fire me, I'm your brother."

Blinking a few times and hearing what he had said, Skye moves out of her bed in a flash, lunching herself onto Leo in a tight hug. She knew that he sees her as a sister, just as much as she sees him as a brother. But hearing him call himself her brother was a new level. Feeling how Leo rubs a few circles on her back, Skye slowly starts to calm down.

Hearing a knock on the door, Skye lifts her head from Leo's shoulder to see the door open, May's worried face looking in. When her eyes lands on her and Leo, the worry in her eyes go down. This moment, Leo takes the opportunity to move away from her slightly.

"I'm going to go downstairs to fix something up. May, could you make sure she's down there in a few minutes?"

He asks and May nods her head as an answer. Rising, he starts to head for the door and Skye grows worried at once.

"Leo!"

"Still your brother, and as your brother I take my job very serious!"

He calls over his shoulder and before she can say anything else, he's out through the doors. With a deep breath, Skye pushes herself up and onto her bed once more, the floor wasn't the most comfortable to be sitting on. Turning her attention towards May once more, Skye can see that's something is bothering her.

"Is something wrong?"

She asks, suddenly regretting that she hadn't listen to what Dr Strange had been talking about. If it was something bad, she doesn't want May to repeat it. When the older agent sits down beside her on the bed, an act that made the worry and fair grow.

"So far, everything is looking good. But as we have seen before, this tumour can return if we are unlucky. We already saw that the GH-325 wasn't enough to destroy the tumour for good, and neither is an operation. Dr Strange suggests that you start seeing him on a regular basic, just to check, so that we can stop it quicker if it were to return."

May starts to explain, deep down, Skye knew she would have to continue meeting with the doctors. Pulling her legs up, Skye leans her head towards her knees, arm hugging her legs in the progress. Feeling a hand between her shoulder blades, Skye doesn't move.

"However, after seeing your actions today and learning just a bit about what happened the other day, Dr strange has agreed that you can do the check-ups from here."

May then adds, this made Skye turn her head to look at the woman beside her. She had not expected Dr Strange to suggest something like this himself. She could however live with doing the check-ups in this building, even if the medical room they have build in the tower is giving her almost the same anxiety as a hospital.

"Come on, I did promise to bring you down. We don't want your brother waiting, do we?"

Skye had been surprised over Leo calling himself her brother, that surprise is nothing compered to the surprise she's feeling right now. Looking at May, Skye tries to figure out if the older agent had just called Leo her brother or not. Seeing a small spark in her eye, Skye realises that she had not heard it wrong and may had in fact called Leo her brother.

Taking a deep breath, Skye nods her head and rises from the bed. Walking beside may, the two S.H.I.E.L.D agents heads for the elevator. The ride down is a silent one, just like the one up had been for her a few minutes ago. But the moment the elevator doors open once more, Skye starts to question if the Avenger's really are as old as they say they are.
