Skye's dream, The Playground, 2014

Skye is breathing heavily. "Hello?" Skye is standing in a deserted base. She's running through the hallways wearing a very un-Skye sundress and no shoes. "Coulson?!?" She can hear the sound of a baby crying as she runs through the base. The lights above her turn out as she passes under them. "Coulson?!?"

Skye stops at an intersection looking every direction. "Where'd everybody go?!? Where'd everybody go?" She enters another part of the base. "Coulson?!?" Skye stops and listens and can hear a soft chiming noise playing a soft melody. "That sound...what is that?"

Skye disappears from where she's standing only to appear inside the lab. She can hear whispering and is looking all around for the source. Suddenly a small box appears on the table in front of her, she stares at it. 

Then Coulson appears at the table staring at the box. "Coulson. What are you doing? We have a mission to prep for." Coulson said.

"This is the mission. It opens," Coulson looks from her back down to the box nodding at it. "So weird, right?" Coulson reaches for the box.

Skye gets frightened, she shoves the box off the table. "No!" The box on the floor, it's open and Skye sits next to it. It's a music box and the soft song playing was coming from it. She hears a baby crying and looks over her shoulder to see a Coulson holding a baby with a May standing next to him.

"Sacrifices have to be made. Poison tree, poison fruit." May said.

Coulson rocks the baby in his arms gently. "I know," Coulson gently sets the baby down on the table while Skye watches scared. "Bye-bye, Angel Eyes." Coulson stands from the table, he and May share a look, then they both turn and walk away as the baby starts to cry. 

Skye looks from them to the crying baby. "No. Wait. Wait! Don't leave her!" Skye is holding the music box, it has the same effects as The Obelisk and starts to burn her arms. "Coulson," the burning goes up to her shoulders. "May! Wait!: The baby is now on her belly looking at Skye, she giggles as the burning goes up Skye's body. "Coulson!" The burning has now reached her chin.

Real life, 2014

Skye's had returned to the Playground late at night and ended up crashing on the couch, May starts shaking her away. "Skye, wake up," the brunette wakes up with a gasp and sits up suddenly, which causes May to back away slightly. "Sorry I startled you, you okay?"

Skye is examining her arms finding them sound. "Hi. Yeah," she clears her throat. "I just dozed off."

"Well, Coulson, Trip and Fitz are back so you might wanna go and freshen up." May said before walking out. Skye then looks down at her arms again and sighs in relief then looks quickly over her shoulder.

Skye walked into her room on the base and closed the door, she leaned her back against it and sighed before getting changed.

"Did you enjoy helping Grant get revenge?" Garrett asked as he appeared behind his daughter.

Skye turned around to face him with a deadpan face. "Is that a serious question?"

"So, you did enjoy it." Garrett nodded in approval as he said this.

Skye ignored him and got herself freshened up for the day and she went off to find Simmons and Trip.

Skye enters the room Trip and Simmons are in and hears them switch their conversation. "Hey. Hi, Skye." Trip said.
