ch. 11

HER sister jogging behind her, Sienna weaved through the halls at a brisk pace, narrowly missing stray agents who were walking too slow for her liking. Sienna and Skye had just spent four hours trying to compile a list of secure bases, it seemed easy enough, but was in fact very tedious. Sienna didn't think she'd ever made so many phone calls in such a short time, and every time they ticked a base of the secure side of their list, it brought down her mood. So as one could expect, Sienna was not in the mood to deal with anyone's bullshit.

Sienna pushed open the glass doors of the situation room, she turned around quickly after feeling a tug on her arm. "What?" She asked her sister.

"Maybe let me talk to him? Just because I've forgiven you doesn't mean everyone has." Skye's eyes softened as she spoke knowing how much frustration her sister was feeling at the moment.

"Okay, you have a point. Here's the list." Sienna handed the notepad over to her sister.

Skye took the list and nodded her thanks to her sister, she then walked over to Coulson. "We made a list of SHIELD bases we know are secure."

"How many so far? Seven?" Coulson answered without looking at the two women behind him.

"Three." Skye said, wincing slightly at her words.

"Plus the Hub." Coulson stated, almost pleading.

"Including the Hub." Skye corrected the older man. "It's a preliminary list, I'm sure more will turn up soon." Coulson, ignoring Skye's additional statement stepped up to the TV screen.

"You were right all along," Sienna spoke up, making her presence known, "Having all this out in the world is too dangerous, and now, there's basically no one left to protect it."

"There's us." Coulson said, his words laced with condescension. "We were lucky enough to have made it through. The Triskelion, The Hub... those battles are just the beginning of this war. Hydra's out there now, but at least our team's still intact... for the most part."

Coulson gave a small smile in Skye's direction before walking out of the room. Skye turned to her sister, "You okay?" She asked.

"No, not really to be honest. I'm frustrated... and tired and stressed. Okay, maybe what May and I did wasn't completely ethical, but we were doing it for him. For the well-being of this team! Why can't he see that? It's just, it's frustrating." Sienna pulled over a nearby chair, taking a seat.

"Listen, maybe just give him a little while to process. It took me a bit to realize that what you did wasn't necessarily a bad thing, maybe he just needs more time. I'm sure he'll come around."

"When did you get so good at giving advice? I'm supposed to be the wise, well-put-together twin. Don't be trying to steal my job, I'll kick your ass."

"Hey! The job's all yours, giving out good advice is too much work." Skye snorted which quickly developed into laughter, Sienna's frustration seemed to melt away for a moment as she joined in on her sister's laughing fit.

About a half an hour had passed since Sienna and Skye's interaction with Coulson in the situation room. Sienna had made her way back to The Bus, hoping to find May, Sienna had wanted to talk to her about the whole ordeal since they weren't presently fighting anyone. Having no luck finding May in the cockpit, Sienna made her way down to the lower level of the plane, maybe May was helping Fitz fix something.

Instead of finding May, Sienna spotted Trip. "Hey stranger." A smile formed on her face as she walked over to him, she noticed Fitz and Simmons bickering across the hangar door.

"Hey yourself. Where have you been?" Trip returned her smile.

"Oh you know, sitting in a conference room making phone calls to SHIELD bases that aren't SHIELD run anymore. Really living the life, you?" Sienna leaned against the wall.
