She can see that Coulson is about ready with the team and Skye can fully understand him. The three agents bickers more than her siblings on a bad day, which happens rarely.

“Your not wrong. We still need to iron out the kinks.”

Coulson comments before turning his attention towards Simmons, Ward and Fitz.

“But, Ward, you speak six languages. Simmons, you have two PhDs in fields I can’t pronounce, and, Fitz, you are a rocket scientist. So work this out.”

Coulson orders them before turning around and heading out of the lab once more. Looking after him, Skye wants to make a comment but decides it’s for the best to keep silent. Seeing how Simmons, Fitz and Ward turns their back to one another, Skye decides this will be the perfect moment to head for her bunk.

The moment she reaches the second floor, she almost wish she had stayed with Simmons or tried to head for the cockpit when her eyes lands on the soldiers sitting around in the common area. With her head lowered and keeping to the walls, she managed to reach her bunk.

Sliding the door open enough for her to enter, she makes sure to lock the door behind her. Dropping down on the bed, her eyes lands on the hula girl. With a weak smile, she reaches a hand out for it, poking it so it starts to dance. Hearing the soldiers outside of her bunk, she turns her head to make sure her door is locked.

If this is how things are going to be, if every mission with this group is ending up like this, then she might just leave and head back home at the first opportunity.

She’s not sure when she fell asleep, but she knows her head is now hurting. Taking a few seconds, she realises her head isn’t the only thing hurting. She is laying on a clod floor and her arms are handcuffed together behind her back. Forcing her eyes to open, she finds herself laying beside a knocked out May.

The moment the fact that May is knocked out beside her sinks in, Skye feels how fear grows in her. No one can knock that woman down, Natasha and Clint have tried many times, only to fail every time. But this is a second time she has seen the woman she used to see as an unbeatable superhero being taken down.

“This is my fault. Should have learned kung fu.”

She can hear Fitz complain beside her. With a deep breath, she slowly push herself up to sit, it wasn’t easy with hands cuffed but she managed to in the end.

“Oh, yeah, but I shouldn’t have pushed you into the field in the first place. You weren’t ready.”

“It was my job to make a proper threat assessment.”

“Uh, we... We weren’t ready.”

Skye listens to the trio beside her talk, her eyes traveling towards May once more.

“This wouldn’t have happened if Agent May wasn’t on the stick. She would have busted out some of her ninja know-how.”

Skye hears herself say, her voice weak but she can feel how the others have heard her as their eyes are turned towards her. Moving her head to see the puzzlement in their eyes.

“Agent May? No. No, no. She transferred from administration.”

Fitz points out, his attention turning to Simmons in a try to understand what is going on, it was clear that Simmons isn’t sure either what is going on. With a deep sigh, Skye nods her head towards May.

“Well, I've seen her destroy a guys, so...”

She tells them, trying to keep her comment as light as possible. At this new information, FitzSimmons turns their attention towards Ward who let’s out a deep sigh.
