Hail HYDRA | Skyeward

Episode 8: The Well

***

Skye was sitting in the Common Room reading a book when Grant walks in. "We're heading to Greenwich university." Skye looks up at this. "Hello to you too and why?" she was very dry saying that sentence.

"Something about an alien invasion and Asgardians, so pack it up we're almost there." Grant replied, at the mention of Asgardians, Skye looked up her brain instantly moving to Thor, she wanted to know if he was there but knew the answer was no, that and Grant had already left the room.

"An enormous mess to clean up." Simmons comments as she sifts through all sorts of rubble on the table, when Grant tips out a box in front of Fitz. "Don't say I never gave you anything,"

"Checking for alien spectrographic signatures one teeny rock at a time." Fitz said, he is kneeling over the parts Ward dropped with some sort of beeping tablet in his hands.

"Necessary precaution. We don't want anything alien getting in the wrong hands." Grant replied.

"Still, this is definitely the type of work a monkey could easily do." Fitz said.

"You're our little monkey." Grant replied, amused and without a second of hesitation.

Simmons', who has been working nearby at a table, cell phone rings in her pocket. She fishes it out and looks at the display, it says: Mom & Dad, she clicks the mute ringer button. When she looks up she finds Fitz giving her a look.

"Don't give me that look. I'll talk to them when I talk to them." Simmons defended her actions.

"Talk to who?" Grant asked.

"Mum and Dad. They want explanations and answers for...well, all this. But I don't have any answers. And, more importantly, I haven't talked to them since I was ill. And if they knew that, they'd be even more terrified. So, you know..." Simmons' cell phone beeps again and she looks down at it. Once again she clicks a button and looks back up to Ward. "...Why waste any of our time, really?" She puts her phone back in her pocket.

Skye and May are walking in a different part of the University but close to the other members of the group. "You guys may think it's old news, but it's new...news to everybody else. So, Asgardians are aliens from another planet that visited us thousands of years ago?" Skye asked, wanting to double check, she's holding some sort of box while they walk along. Coulson sees something and picks it up placing it in the box.

"Or more." Coulson adds. "And because we couldn't understand aliens, we thought they were Gods?" Skye as as they pass by May who is kneeling on the floor above an artifact testing it. "That's where our Norse mythology comes from." Coulson replied.

Skye lets out a deep sigh. "That's too crazy. Do you think other deities are aliens, too?" Skye asked, Coulson walks past her and drops something into her box. "Vishnu for sure, right?" Skye once again asked.

"You know, it'd be nice if, for once, Thor and his people sent down the God of cleaning up after yourself. They probably have a magic broom for this kind of thing." Coulson said looking around. "I just wish they'd left their alien ship behind." Skye comments.

"So we can clean that up, too?" May asked as she stood up beside Skye. "So we could go inside, take a peek under the hood, maybe take it for a spin. Come on, you're telling me piloting an alien ship isn't on your bucket list?"

May gives an intrigued look at this notion. "I can't think of a single time when anything alien in human hands ended well." Coulson jumps in, he puts another piece into the box Skye is holding.
"Wouldn't mind getting my human hands on Thor. He's do dreamy." Skye said.
