She is My Agent

Chap 2: My Situation?

Tony Stark?

THE TONY STARK!

The narcissist, obnoxious, self-conceited, super intelligent, handsome, Pepper Pots-level-charming, billionaire, Avenger: the bloody Tony Stark is on his way in his fancy Iron Man suit, to pick Skye. My Skye.

Coulson did not remember himself storming out from the lab to the office room, fuming with anger, frustration and green with a mountain size- ting of jealousy. He did not remember bumping into a surprised Gemma or kicking the office table. All Coulson could think of is having to entrust the responsibility of Skye to that wretched trouble making Tony Stark with whom he will not even trust his pet robotic pig if he had one.

I really must have offended fate when I did not properly die the first time, thought Coulson.

"Coulson," There was a voice and a knock at the door. It was Skye. Coulson took a second to compose a face of what you call an attempted serenity.

"Skye," he said opening the door. "Come in."

Skye looked troubled for some reason. She was uneasy and not meeting his eyes.

"What is it, Skye?" Say I cannot be what I want her's to be, but I AM the responsible adult here. So get a grip, Coulson monologues.

"Sir, is it really Ok with you if I leave? You know.... I can always say no."

Coulson's mind was racing. At least she is not dreamy eyed about the Avengers. Not yet, until may be she meets..... Thor? Coulson could pretty well remember Skye confessing that Thor is dreamy. Of course, Thor is handsome, have a sexy voice and all...but...Even May thinks Thor is dreamy. What's with women and muscles. Something perennial, his inner voice replied.

"It is all right, Skye. As much as you are a SHIELD agent, you are an Avenger now. Your responsibilities are greater. All I want is...." Coulson choked. "All I am worried about is...just that...you would not be harmed. I cannot allow that."

"Sir, if you think that I am taking an unnecessary risk...."

"No, no, no, Skye. I understand that you feel responsible for our safety and that you are worried if something goes wrong here, you will not be able to help us." Coulson said, involuntarily putting his hands upon her shoulders. "All I am worried about is your safety. I cannot risk losing you. I almost lost you and had to inject an alien serum to make your heart beat again. Then I almost lost you at that cursed alien city. And I can't afford to lose you or almost-loose-you again. I want you to be safe and come in one piece." With every word, his grip on her shoulders grew harder. It was hard to keep all the flooding emotions in check while having her so close but not being able to crush her in an embrace.

"Sir...I..I..I promise that nothing bad would happen to me." Skye replied. "Thank you for being so concerned. Nobody...you know...value me as you do. Always."

You are the purest and the most precious thing for me in my life, and you are the center of this whole wide universe, Coulson's heart beat furiously. He could not betray his feeling from his voice or his eyes.

"Skye, you are my agent and I am responsible."

And every time you are not in my sight, my breathing loses its rhythm,

Every moment you are not in this base under my protection, I lose my head.

Every single time I remember you, I feel like my body is burning.

I maybe not able to hold you, you may never feel about me the same, but right here right now, you are in front my eyes and with all the burdens you had to bare, you can still afford to smile. It was a long time ago I lost my soul, Skye. But I can never ever let you lose yours. That is all that matters to me.....Coulson wished he could make the unspoken verbal.
