Prospective- Skyler
"Skyler! Skyler!" someone screams at me, shacking me awake.
"What h-happened? W-William where is he?!" I said scared.
"Thank god your ok." Riley said.
"Where-is-William?!" I said again.
"Will-he's um..." Riley trailed off.
The worst thoughts started running through my head, my heart beat speed up, my hand became sweaty. I clenched my jaw shut and balled my fists, then repeated for a third time "Where-is-Will?" this time Riley understood that I needed to know.
She sighed then said "He's been taken..."
I wasn't in shock from an arrow hitting me in the chest, I was in shock because one of my partners for every mission I had ever gone on was missing and I was lying in sick bay. I immediately started to disconnect myself from the machines. Riley was strong and tried to hold me down, but I knew that she wanted to find William, too. I got up and walked out grabbing my things and heading toward the flight hanger.
Riley ran after me, she grabbed my wrist then spun me around to face her. My eyes said what, but my body told her I was to weak to try and find William. Which was true because my legs gave out, and I would of collapsed if Riley hadn't caught me. I looked her in the eyes then allowed my body to be carried back to sick bay. As Riley reattached me to the machine I said a single word to her before I blacked out again. "Love..." was that on word that I said to Riley Coulson before I blacked out.
When I woke up next I was well enough to no longer need to be attached to any machine. Riley helped me out of bed told me to go take a shower, put on fresh clothing, and be ready to leave for a mission in an hour. As I walked back to my bunk I passed the containment cells. I just wanted to see him I thought, but I choose not to go in. Now showered, dressed, and packed for the mission did I walk to the Flight Hanger to be joined by my S.O. Skye and she was holding Grant Ward in a secure position that would allow him no advantage to overtake her. As we walked I saw Riley standing next to the plane that we called the bus. "Skye is that our ride?" I asked.
"Yes it is kiddo." she said which put a smile on my face.
"Wait isn't that the..." I trailed off.
"The plane that I was on with Grant Ward, Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons, and Director Coulson. Yes...it is." she said sounding a little unsure about having Grant abroad the plane.
"Why are we bringing him?" I said gesturing to Grant.
"Coulson's orders." she said.
I nodded then ran off toward Riley to start loading supplies onto the plane. As we loaded supplies and Skye secured Grant to his cell, I thought about everything that's happened, but when ever I tried to think about Grant my mind would start thinking about William and where he was. When we finished with the supplies we all bored onto the plane. Skye would be flying and Melinda May on co-pilot.
Once in the air, I walked to my bunk and started to unpack. While I was unpacking I heard a knock on the door. As I opened it I saw Riley, she smiled then handed me a paint of chocolate ice-cream. We sat on my bed, talked, and laughed, but it didn't last to long because she then said "You should go, talk to him. He deserves an explanation for why you haven't spoken to him and I know you need an explanation, too"
"Your right, but I-I just need sometime." I said with a tear tracing it's way down my cheek. Riley nodded then left me sitting on my bed alone with a half eaten container of ice-cream.

Later I ended up sitting outside of my father's containment cell. I was still very unsure of whether or not to go in and talk. I did end up going to talk, but he just sat there looking at me. I decided to say "Last time we talked you were talking about mom, you said that she was a greek goddess. You also said that William's father was a god and Riley's mother was a goddess, too." I restated. He just nodded yes, like I was a three year old who was talking gibberish.
He then said "Skyler, do you know why I gave you up?" I shook my head no. "It was to give up a better chance. I knew that if my S.O Garrett found out he would make you become loyal to Hydra when you reached the right age." Grant continued. Now that I sat in front of my father and cried, the tears seemed to carve there way down my face, like the blade on my skin carving a line a crossed my thigh.
"Why did you tell SHIELD about me?" I asked. Grant smiled his crooked smile then said "I told them about you because I realized that your S.O was raised the same way, so I too them about you then asked if Skye would look over her if they found you. I thought that she could talk to you and teach you the ways of SHIELD like she learned and here you are an agent of SHIELD on a mission." Now the tears wouldn't stop flowing, I nodded stood then walked out of the door shut it and headed back to my bunk.
