Hail HYDRA | Skyeward

Episode 4: Eye-Spy

Skye hadn't actually slept in her bunk the night before, instead she'd crashed on the lounge in the community room because the team had decided they wanted a movie marathon and all had crashed in front of the TV, with Skye and Grant on the lounge, Fitz-Simmons sitting it the single passenger chairs but right next to each other, Coulson in the love seat and May on the floor.

Skye was the last of the six of them to wake up, with May being the first, followed by Coulson, followed by Grant, followed by Fitz-Simmons, and followed by Skye who'd trudged off to go and freshen up before joining the team.

Skye was then in the morning made to attend weapons training which she did and then disappeared for the rest of the day.

May was flying the Bus and Coulson had gone to talk to her while the scientists and Grant were talking, while Grant wondered if Skye was speaking to her father (Garret).

Grant's hold an night-night gun pellet as he looks at it. "I only get one shot. And it has to knock a person back, as well as out."

Fitz was in the background grabbing something and came over with a night-night pistol. "Which is why we're perfecting this little beauty. .45-caliber cartridges, semi-automatic. Each mag," Fitz places the magazine in the gun powering it up. "Contains eight therapeutic rounds of dendrotoxin." Fitz explained.

"In case you miss," Simmons piped up, Grant just glared at her. "Or have multiple assailants." Grant then turned back to Fitz while Simmons returned to her microscope, Grant went to go grab the night-night pistol but Fitz didn't let him and moved backwards and Grant taking the hint lowered his hand.

"Yeah, w-we're gonna have this new night-night pistol working in no time. Okay?" Fitz reassured the man before turning around and placing it on his desk. "Great. One thing... we're not calling it that." Grant replied before walking out.

Coulson was walking down the stairs into the cargo hold. "Have you seen Skye?" he asked.

"Not since weapons training." Grant replied as Coulson stepped off the stairs and Grant started walking up them.

"Has she stopped saying "bang" when she pulls the trigger?" Coulson asked, Grant nearly chuckles remembering that she used to do it all the time with Garret, he'd never mention her by name but he'd mention her whenever he came for a visit.

"Mostly. Now, if she can just learn the difference between the safety release and the magazine release, we'll be making real progress." Grant replied as he walked up the stairs.

Coulson looked over the black SUV sitting in the cargo hold next to Lola, he walked over to the black car and knocked on the backseat window, Skye who was inside lowered it. "What's up, Phil?" she asked.

"I'd prefer you not call me "Phil"." Coulson replied. 

"Okay, you're the boss... A.C. Just missing my van a bit, taking a little me time." Skye replied as she typed on her laptop.

"I want your help with something." Coulson said.

Skye looks and inhales sharply before leaning forward and crossing her legs. "Hit me with it."

"You ever rob a bank?" Coulson asked.

"No." Skye replied, confused as to where all this was going.

"An armored car?" Coulson asked.

"Nope."

"A casino?"

"Should I be offended?" Skye asked.
