[Bus - Common Area]
Skye and I fell asleep on the couch as she was studying the map. My arm was killing me but I was not about to miss this mission for the life of me. My eyes were closed, getting much needed rest when someone tapped my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see Coulson standing over us, "Everything okay, sir?" I ask
He nods his head, "We're back" He whispers
I sigh, "She finally fell asleep" I sigh, leaning over and lightly shaking Skye, who's head was on the table, "Skye? Skye? Wake up, love" I say softly but get nothing in response. I look at Coulson, "You're turn" I whisper
"Skye? Skye, wake up!" She jumps up, gasping. I sit up straight and drape my arm over her back, rubbing it to calm her down, "Sorry I startled you. You okay?" Coulson asks
"I...Yeah" She clears her throat, "I just dozed off" She tells him
"Grab your things. We're back" He tells her
She stills slightly panicked as I grab her hand with my good arm, "Are you sure you're okay?" I ask softly
She looks at me and nods her head, "Yeah, I'm okay Cass" She tells me but I know she's lying
I place a soft kiss on her lips, "Okay" I mumble, deciding she'll tell me if she wants to
[Bus - Later On]
We're walking through the bus when we come across Simmons helping Trip get dressed. He says something before he sees us, "Hey. Hi, Skye" He says
"Hey, yourself. Mission prep in five. Cargo Hold" Skye tells him
"Right. Roger that" Simmons says
"Talking about my dad?" Skye asks
"I'm sorry. It mush be so..." Simmons says
"Messed up?" Skye asks
"I was going to use the off-color version of messed up, but it felt inappropriate" Simmons says
"Oh, it's appropriate. My dad, Ward, the Obelisk, the city, it's all messed up. And I just...I can't shake this vibe that something really bad is about to happen" Skye says
"You mean like someone getting shot? Yeah, Cassie and I got that covered already, so you can lose that vibe. We're good" Trip says
"That's right, yeah. Nothing but positive thoughts from here on out" Simmons knocks on the table, "That's not wood, is it?" Simmons asks before walking away, Trip following her
Skye knocks on the table and sighs, I wrap my good arm around her waist, pulling her into me, "Everything's going to be fine, love, I promise" I whisper in her ear
She rests her head on my shoulder, "You can't promise that" She whispers
"Maybe I can't but I will do everything in my power to make sure that nothing bad happens" I tell her
[Bus - Cargo Hold]
All the agents are in the cargo hold as Coulson walks down, "Here's what we know. Hydra's on the move. They have the Obelisk and an expert who knows how to use it. We can't let that happen. Obviously" Coulson says
"Use it how?" Hunter asks
"Based on our latest intel, there's something very powerful inside it. A weapon" Coulson says
"Are we talking, uh, chemical, biological, energy-based?" Mack asks
"Could be anything. It's alien" Fitz says
"While Simmons and I were undercover at Hydra, Whitehall was looking to create an extinction-level event. To kill millions of people. We have to assume that this weapon has the potential to do that" Bobbi says
