Fix the sky

Skye

The elevator ride was a silent one, Skye was leaning towards him, and he could see that she was starting to grow even more tired. With a quick glance towards the woman that has ended up as their guide made sure to keep her own eyes on the wall. Once it come to a stop, she steps out first and holds the door open so Leo could help Skye out without a problem.

"The room is just down here."

She tells them and starts walking down the corridor before stopping in front of a door and pushed it open. To say he was not surprised was an understatement, and if he didn't know that they were in the Avengers tower he would be quite sure the room they were entering is a hospital room. With a closer look when they were inside, he could see that there had been a few things added so it wasn't all hospital liked. Something he was sure Skye would appreciate once she was feeling better.

He remembered how bored she had been the last time she had been ordered to stay in bed. It had been a bit of fun when she had tried to push all of Simmons buttons. How she tried to get Coulson to talk to Simmons about moving her to her own bunk or how May sneaked in a few things so she would be occupied for a little while at least.

Helping her over to the bed, he made sure she was properly tucked in before making sure everything else around her was working like they should. As he was going over everything, he started to realize just how much each, and everything would have cost and he couldn't help but to feel slightly bad about it.

"H... how mu.. much did all of this co... cost?"

He finally asks, turning his attention to the woman behind him. She had not moved from the door opening and finally looked up at him.

"You don't have to worry about that, we already have most of the things at hand. You'd be surprised how often this group ends up hurting themselves on a daily basic. There is however a few things Maria made sure we had extra of."

She answered him with a warm smile, her eyes traveling towards the now fully sleeping Skye on the bed. Leo could feel a calmness from the woman, making himself grow calm as well. Looking around, he finds a chair and pulls it over to the bedside to sit down.

"She will be alright."

The woman speaks and Le9 wasn't sure if it was a question or a statement in that moment, but he nods his head and took hold of Skye's hand. She had to be alright, there was so many people back at the base that would go crazy if she wouldn't return to them.

"I did forget to introduce myself I'm..."

"Pepper Pots, CEO of Stark Industries."

Leo finishes her introduction for her and turns his attention away from Skye. He could see that she wasn't angry that he had done it but simply nod her head, he had fallen into an old habit without even knowing it.

"I'm Leo Fitz, this is Skye."

He tells her, and Pepper nods her head, keeping silence once more. The silence wasn't uncomfortable and as he turns his attention back to Skye once more, Leo could see how Pepper returned her attention back to her tablet once more.

"What is the name of the woman you are with?"

She asks after a few minutes, the sudden question made Leo look at her.

"Melinda May."

His voice was careful as he spoke, unsure if he should even give out the name. Seeing how Pepper writs something into the tablet she was holding, Leo couldn't help but to grow slightly worried suddenly.

"Don't worry Fitz, I have added both your and agent May's name into the list of people that are always welcomed. I have also made sure that you have access to this floor for whenever you two feel the need to meet Skye when she spends time here. Because I have a feeling that is the reason as to why the three of you are here today."

She explains when she sees the worry in his eyes.

"That is good to know and thank you."

He couldn't help but to jump and the reaction from Pepper made him realize he wasn't the only one that had missed May showing up. The older agent is standing behind Pepper now and she quickly takes a step into the room so May could enter without a problem. Seeing how May nods her head as a thank you she does. The first thing her eyes lands on once inside is the sleeping Skye and Leo can see how she starts to relax, at least as much one Agent Melinda May can relax that is.

"Did she fall asleep the moment her head hit the pillow?"

Leo nods his head as an answer, not trusting his own voice now. Happy with the answer, May turns her attention back to Pepper once more.

"I take it you're the one to speak to if something is needed or done properly?"

She asks and Pepper nods her head as an answer.

"Good, there is a few more things I would like to set up."

May tells her and nods her head towards the door, with a quick look over her shoulder. She looks at Skye and him before she and Pepper leaves the room. Once gone and the door closed, Leo leans his head on the bed. Alone with an already sleeping Skye, he finally realized just how tired he was. He had managed to sleep for a little while at the hospital; that was however mostly because he felt completely drain after everything that had gone down that day. Looking at the sleeping Skye, it didn't take long before he finds himself drifting off to sleep himself.
