Fight for life
Another day, another mission, another fight, just one more day to attempt to not end killed in the line of duty. By the end, no results, just another ghost clue and no Jemma. A lot of sermons from Alicia, a few painkillers (which she never ate) And the supposedly bed rest, Skye was certified to lead out of MED bay.
On the way to her room, she was thinking on Fitz and the amusing way he acts around the doctor Blythe. He almost is the old engineer with her, smiling and acting all sciency with her, he still walks slowly and flexes his hand like a thousand times of day but, he was slowly recovering trusting on himself again, but God, his talking skills sucks sometimes, between his stuttering, his accent, his aphasia and his increasing speed on his manners you never know if you need a dictionary or a translator when he was talking to you, but hey! He was talking now and that was amazing.
Just like Ward, he was a slight bit more himself sometimes, he was talking more (sadly, with the dog) but talking , slowly he was walking more outside of the Vault when nobody was around but... not everything was easy, one day the dogs were playing and he ends locked inside the refrigerated chamber, Fitz, like her, was watching everything on the lab screens so he quickly drags Ward out, but it wasn't fast enough, the poor guy ends having another panic attack who sends him to the infirmary again for another three days. The hacker visited him every night once all the night staff goes to rest and stays by his side until the sun was up again, but nobody, except Alicia, knows it.
After that incident, the young woman goes wild in nonsense again, a few more bruises and another close dance with the death, Coulson was desperate and tired of seeing her destroying herself , also was May, but no one can do anything to stop the girl to doing it. Then, Alicia remembered the only technique who helped her to settle her mind and emotions in the past...
The fist day Skye was in the dinning room and Alicia was carrying her food tray "casually" she push the hacker to the wall making her get furious, during the day their casual encounters happened with more and more violence, until Skye cornered the young doctor close to the gym, by the minute she push her again, Alicia blocks the punch easily, with a simple swing, she sends the girl into the mats with a loud thud.
Skye jumps to her feet in seconds, ready to give up the Doctor's arse but she was faster answering the attacks with an endless series of punches, kicks, jolts, blocks and slams all of them avoiding doing a real damage, just sparring hardly with the other girl. Later on a long, long time, Alicia was finally tired, and three hard blows to the head, her equilibrium was close to zero and the hacker knows it, because two kicks and a big throw to the wall later, the Doctor touches the mat giving herself up in the fight. With a big smile Skye tends her hand to Alicia helping her to get up, noticing the light limp on the Doctor's leg, but ignoring it fastly. They're happy, silently happy. That was the first night the hacker sleeps without nightmares in months.
The girls still hate each other sometimes but, they spar regularly and that helps both, and the rest of the team breathes joyfully time in time. "Why are you fighting with Skye Dorothy?" Ward asks one sleepless night days later
" Why not?" She answers with a smirk "Don't look at me like that you robot, some techniques are hard to forget"
"Yeah... but..."
"I'm not defending you know who, but, that thing always help me to settle my mind. He teach us well Grant, but he also screwed our childhood and if I can I wish to kill him with my bare hands!"
"You, me and the entire world" the silence cover them with his sounds for a little while, until the young man seen the old watch in the Girl's wrist "So... I have to interpreted that as a big step forward between you and Toto?"
"What? Wait... no this is not what you're thinking... It's just No!" She answers blushing fifty shades of red
"Yeah... right!" He laughed hardly when Alicia covered her face with her hands gigling like a child " You want to kiss him, you want to hug him, you want to undress him..." he sings evily
"Stop it, Grant Ward stop it!"
"Oh my god Alicia!! You're head over heels for the scientist kid!"
"Shut up! Oh god I hate you Ward!"
"Nah... You love me kiddo"
"I'm not!"
"You do... you love me so..."
"No, I'm not! And you know what? You're an asshole and you deserve to be lonely with your twisted brain, I'm done with you Tiktok"
"Promises promises... You'll always be back to me kiddo..."
"Yeah you wish... You know what you win for messing up with me? two hours out from your hole tomorrow" the boy growls "Not so funny right? See you!"
Alicia just walks out from the room when something startled her making her walks backwards almost loosing her gravity center, jumping a little through the stairs, attempting to fall down onto the floor. "I swear to God Grant, This freaking place is haunted!"
"No, its not. The dogs walk in the middle of the night that's all"
But Alicia knows it's nothing like a dog.
