Location: The cage, The bus

"Mmm. I got to say, Director, no doubt, the best grilled cheese I've ever had." Skye states putting down her plate. I hum in agreement finishing mine off.

"Secret ingredient." Coulson states.

"What..." I start.

"Don't ask. I will not disclose." Coulson interrupts.

"Come on. I have a fever. I'm sick you have to do whatever I say." I whine.

"Chlo. I'm pretty sure we determined that you don't have a fever, your body temperature is just higher now." Coulson tells me.

"Yeah but that doesn't mean I can't pull the sick card on people who don't know." I point out.

"Eh." Coulson disagrees. I glare at him causing him to roll his eyes. "How are you doing with all the monitoring?" He asks us.

"I barely notice it." Skye states.

"I notice it and choose to ignore it." I reply.

"We wouldn't subject you to it if it wasn't absolutely necessary." Coulson responds.

"I assume you're putting us on the gifted index." Skye says.

"We are." Coulson tells us.

"Oh that's no big deal. I was going on there anyway cause of my stupid mind control word thingy." I point out.

"Well that's one way of looking at it." Coulson states.

"I've been doing some monitoring of my own. Check this out. My entire life, I've been searching for my parents, and my search ended with answers that are so much worse than I could have imagined. Sad, twitchy, not-all-there dad, a dead-ish mom, alien mist that turned me into a walking natural disaster, a friend dead..." Skye starts.

"Hey. Trip was not your fault." Coulson interrupts.

"My point is, I'm steady. Nothing is shaking. I'm stopping them before they start." Skye adds.

"That's good." Coulson states.

"If I keep working on this, I can be back in the field in no time." Skye points out.

"Yeah." Coulson exclaims. "How're you doing Chloe? I shrug.

"Don't really know to be honest nothings really triggered my powers whilst I've been awake. Sometimes when I wake up after a nightmare or something there'd be burns on my hands. I don't know why my powers are hurting me though. I mean it's a bit stupid to give me fire powers and then not fire resistance." I explain.

"Maybe your powers haven't fully developed yet or it might be because you're so young you might have to wait for that part to kick in." Coulson proposes.

"Maybe, maybe not. All I know is I should hold off creating fire until it doesn't burn me." I state.

Time skip

Me and Leo are playing virtual tic tac toe when the door opens and May walks in.

"I got to go Leo. Bye." I tell my brother.

"Alright bye." Leo says before I switch off AVIA.

"Hey." Skye greets at the same time as me.

"Why hello there." I wave slightly.

May sighs. "Look I'm going to get straight to the point you two need to do a mental evaluation. A man named Andrew's here to do it."

"What?!" I question at the same time as Skye.
