She is My Agent

Chap 05: My Queen

SKYE.

Why can't I see her?

Where am I? I can't move.

SKYE!

"Sir, he is back." Simmons. He could hear Simmons voice. At least I am not strapped to a bed in a Hydra basement and have to open my eyes to find Grant Ward smirking at me.

"Phil, it's high time you wake up." This time it was Nick Fury. Coulson opened his eyes. Many familiar faces with worried looks plastered on them were bending down at his face. Simmons, Fitz, Fury, Tony Stark, May......Andrew.

Wait! Where is Skye?

"Where is Skye?" questioned Coulson, trying to get up.

"Ah........Skye...yes, we need to talk about her..." It was the first time Coulson have ever seen Fury being at a loss for words.

"What do you mean? What is there to talk about? Where is Skye?" Time to hit the panic button.

Coulson pulled out the needle stuck in his left hand. It didn't hurt. His heart was racing. He thought he saw Skye, just before he was hit by some poisonous toxin. It was an illusion of the mind,  that is what he thought. But he was not sure. He was hearing Skye's voice all this while.

"Skye is missing." A flat answer as such could only come from a cavalry.

Silence.

Hunter gulped. 'This is not good.'

"MISSING? SKYE? SKYE IS MISSING? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? AND IF IT MEANS WHAT IT MEANS WHAT THE FREAKING HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE WITHOUT TRYING TO FIND HER?"

Coulson's voice shook the building. Adrenaline was pumping through his veins, thousand miles per second. He shook with rage, disappointment, regret and ten thousand feelings he could not describe.

"The Avengers are looking for her." Fury, for the first time in million years sounded as if he is the one reporting the crisis not the other way around.

"Avengers?" Coulson barked. "What good did they do to her apart from dragging her around the world! If she was with me, if I had her by my side...none of this would happen."

"Skye rescued you from the toxin attack. I don't know how she did it but she just uprooted the whole piece of earth that you were lying unconscious on and flew it right back...and apparently right back to the SHIELD lab. Then someone grabbed her from behind and I passed out."

The eye witness was a very much patched up Tony Stark.

Coulson gritted his teeth. "It was your responsibility to keep her away from the danger. You were not supposed to be a natural jet to fly her around seeking adventure!"

"I would have, if she had not started crumbling the whole SHIELD premises down trying to digest the fact that you were throwing your precious second coming- life away to multi colored aliens." Tony Stark replied. He was not angry. But somebody needed to pull Coulson back to his senses. They needed him to use the Agent inside Coulson to do the field work. Coulson should think like an agent, not like a man whose heart is aching for the woman he loves.

"We have our best teams on the task, Coulson."

"No you don't. You still have me strapped on to this fucking bed." Coulson dragged himself out from the bed, dragging all the possible wires and tubes attached to his body.

Fury was wise enough not to stop Coulson.

"So, where are we with the investigation? Do you remember anything regarding Skye's disappearance?"  Coulson questioned Tony Stark. "FitzSimmons, I need you to find out if there is any satellite footage of the place that we were battling that awful alienship."
