Skye's POV
-

Coulson left shortly after our little talk and I decide that it's time to go see Fitzsimmons and explain what what the hell they saw earlier. I'll talk to my moms tomorrow about Akela, after they got back from their 'date night'.

I knock on the lab doors, finding both science twins standing over one of Fitz's experiments, examining it. "Hey, guys." I say nervously, wishing that I was anywhere but here. They turn to me, small, but tired smiles on their faces and curious looks in their eyes. "So, I thought you might want to know what your letting yourselves in for."

"No, no." Simmons said hurriedly, her words apparently not coming out fast enough. I furrow my brows and look at them, confused. Just earlier they had wanted to know everything... what changed? "We thought it best you don't tell us whose after you so we don't accidentally tell anyone."

"Yeah, Simmons is terrible at keeping secrets." Fitz chimed in helpfully.

"I am not!" Simmons scowled, whacking him lightly on the arm. Fitz squawked in surprise and grabbed his 'injured' arm, rubbing it gently, as if it had actually hurt.

"Ow! What was that for!?" He demanded, sending Simmons his best glare. I watch on in amusement, thinking that his 'scary face' looked more like a scared puppy attempting to growl at a kitten.

"Oh, shush Fitz." Simmons rolled her eyes, then turned back to me, the small scowl she'd given Fitz a moment ago turning back into a smile. "Now, we wanted to ask you a few questions about your powers."

I tense slightly, forcing myself to not think back to the Red Room. S.H.I.E.L.D. was different. They didn't experiment on people without their consent. Fitzsimmons we're harmless.

"Of course." I reply, the relaxed look on my face not betraying my inner thoughts and emotions. My shoulders relax as they grin, eyes shining with so much excitement I wonder how they don't start jumping up and down on the spot like a toddler with ice cream.

"Brilliant!"

"Fantastic!" They both say at the same time.  They then proceed to ask me what my powers were exactly, how they worked, how they felt, and how I got them.

I explain that my powers are vibration based and that I healed my injury by manipulating the vibrations in my knee and skin so that they could heal. I then explain that everything is vibrating at a different and unique frequency and that I'd learnt how to manipulate them over time, mainly to protect myself, and define them so that I could sense even the tiniest of movement fifty miles away.

I tell them that I'd always had this sort of buzzing in the back of my head and sometimes that buzzing could be overwhelming and I could loose control. But that rarely ever happened anymore, because keeping control was basically instinct at this point.

I try to explain that sensing someone a mile away was just like hearing someone walk into the room for me, but they'd gotten confused after I told them people's vibrations usually told me what they were feeling.

They asked how I got my powers and I answered honestly, telling them that I didn't actually know and people had been trying to figure it out for years but never got anywhere. Saying that I was likely just born with them.

They had accepted my answers hastily and soon after dismissed themselves, saying that they were tired and needed to get some sleep before our next mission. I nod, bidding them goodnight before heading to my parents room, explaining how I knew Akela and what exactly happened to her.

I then headed to bed, sliding in beside a half-asleep Maria and wrapping my arms around her. I sigh contently, thinking about how accepting everyone – except Ward – was here.

Maybe I could stay... even after the mission was over. 

A/N: Hi! Sorry this chapter is so short, I don't really have the patience to write 2,000+ words about Skye's powers. But I think Fitzsimmons deserved a bit of an explanation, since they could loose their jobs if Fury found out.

I think I know how the rest of Season 1 is going to go down, as well as a little bit of Season 2 and 3, but I don't really have any good ideas atm.

Also how would you feel about crossovers with other shows between Seasons?
