Unexpected and Unwanted Reunion
Phil continued to stare as Skye laughed. She was full on cackling at this stage. The guy who brought her in was just staring at the two of them in confusion.
Just then, May burst through the door, a look of absolute disbelief on her face.
"Oh, you too? This just keeps getting better and better dosen't it?" Skye still couldn't stop looking, add in Mays' sudden arrival and the laughter just got stronger.
Ward stared at them all in disbelief.
Phil wasn't suprised. You needed high level clearance to find out about his adoptive daughter along with him and May being married.
Even though May filed for divorce, he never signed the papers, always holding out hope.
"This" Skye started, addressing Ward "is an unwanted reunion that i thought I'd never have to deal with." She was still laughing, but had calmed down considerably.
May had finally moved from the door and was quickly making her way to Skye. She was finally going to get to hold her baby.
Skye didn't notice the look of joy and love on Mays face, or that she was getting closer and closer. She did notice as soon as May touched her though. Using a technique that May herself taught her, she jumped off her chair and had May pinned down on the table, Skye's boot on her back, and a firm grip on her arm, ready to twist and break, should May give her trouble.
"Don't" Skye hissed, venom in her voice and a hate that neither parent had ever heard before "touch me. You don't get to. You don't have the right." She spit out her words.
Poor Ward. He had no idea of the backstory with these three. All he saw was some stupid hacker threaten a superior officer. So, he did what he was trained to do. He took out his gun and threatened to shoot if she didn't release May.
Ward was quickly learning many things during his short stay on the bus.
1. Don't mess with FitzSimmons stuff. It will blow up if you're not careful and you'll die.
2. May has the most terrifying, nightmare inducing facial expressions when she dosen't like what you're doing.
3. May is the best fighter, and you will never beat her.
4. Coulson is not to be messed with when angry.
5. Do not get in the middle of a May and Coulson fight.
How was he to know he just crossed four out of five of the rules he had created in order to survive?
He found himself peeing a little at the look he got from the hacker. He was a top agent, who the hell was this girl to make him feel threatened?
Before he could really analyze what was happening, Coulson dismissed him in a voice that left no room for arguments.
Skye released May and sat down, all laughter and humour gone.
It was like a knife in May's gut, seeing her once innocent, happy and carefree child look at her with so much anger and hatred. Her eyes weren't those of a nineteen year old just starting her life. No, they were eyes of a seasoned veteran who'd seen too much too quickly and couldn't even begin to cope with it.
Phil had told her that by the time Skye was fifteen, she was done with them. It made sense. It was around that time that Skye started sending the presents back. It was like that for two years, until the presents stopped coming back. She thought it was good, Skye didn't completely hate her, but no. It wasn't that. Skye just wasn't there to send them back any more.
There they sat. Skye, not looking at either of them. Phil's head going a million miles an hour. What could he say? What could he do? He was given a chance to get his baby back and she wouldn't even look at him.
Not knowing what else, he reached in to his jacket and took out the keys to Lola. Fury had given them back to him, figuring he'd want them.
"She's still yours" he said, his voice barely above a whisper. He hadn't spoken to her in five years, not from lack of trying.
That seemed to open the flood gates for Skye. She finally looked at him. Her usual soft brown eyes, cold and hard.
"I don't want your fucking car" she hissed out "I don't want anything to do with anything to do with either of you. I've made that very clear. You lied to me for years."
Now they were confused. They admitted they abandoned her, but they never lied to her.
Seeing the look of confusion on their faces, Skye continued "Every gift you sent, pretending to still care; lie, everytime you came home and acted like you would stay; lie. Every time you called me your daughter; LIE."
They had never told Skye about her adoption, fearing that it would make her feel unloved and unwanted. The irony was not lost on them. Because she didn't know of her adoption, she didn't know about he 084 status either. it would destroy her to know all those people died for her.
May and Coulson stared at her in shock. How the hell did she find out?
Before they could wonder for too long, Skye spoke again.
"Here's what's gonna happen" Skye started, "We will not speak, you will not ask me any questions about what I've been doing these past years and I wont kill you while you sleep."
May nodded, knowing that she could and probably would.
"You're going to bring me to Uncle Nick. I miss him, haven't seen him in a few years, then, you're dropping me off to China. I'm finding my real parents"
"Skye" Phil pleaded, desperation lacing his voice, "We're your pare-"
He was quickly cut off by Skye. It was the wrong thing to say. He knew it as soon as he started to say it.
"Don't" she hissed, her face a mask of hatred and disgust "you are nothing to me now. This is what you're gonna do, because you fucking owe me."
Unknown to the trio, Ward and FitzSimmons watched the whole exchange fromt the security feed.
"Well then" Fitz started, "That's not something you hear everyday" Simmons finished.
Neither of them had ever seen anyone get the better of May, or seen her not retaliate. This was definately something new.
They continued to listen, none of them had ever seen their superior officers looking so vulnerable. Then Skye said the keyword-daughter- and it all clicked into place. The look of fury and rage on her face was unsettling and put them all on edge.
They didn't speak again until Skye finished her rant.
"You don't think she meant Director Fury do you?" Simmons asked.
"No bloody clue" Fitz replied
Ward was silent, his own thoughts going a mile a minute. Here was the daughter of The Cavalry and Agent Coulson. And she hated them. Plus she just called the director 'Uncle'. Easily susceptible and probably wants revenge on S.H.I.E.L.D.
"HYDRA was gonig to have a fit when they found out about this one" Ward thought.
