Chapter Thirty-Two Waiting
Skye sighed as she walked down the hallway and to the lounge. She paused right before entering and sighed. This was it. Ward called me in here for a reason. She walked in and sat down on the couch next to Ward.
"You wanted to see me?" She asked.
"Yes," Ward replied. "Skye we need to talk. Yesterday when we sort of...."
"When you landed on me?" Skye asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah," Ward replied. "Well umm....."
"Spit it out!"
"Ok," Ward said. "Well there was obviously feelings there and I really want to get back together with you and get married. And I think you're ready."
Skye glared at him. "Hold on a second. You are telling me when I'm ready?!
"No Skye that's not what I meant-"
"I should be the only one to know when I'm ready!" Skye yelled. "No one else!"
"Oh come on Skye it's been two months!" Ward exclaimed. "At this point it seems like you're not even in love with me anymore and this is a whole big excuse!"
"NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU?!" Skye yelled and stood up. "EXCUSE?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! IVE BEEN TRAUMATIZED DEEPLY WARD! SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE YOU DONT EVEN CARE!"
"OF COURSE I CARE SKYE!" Ward yelled back and stood up as well. "I LOVE YOU! BUT MAYBE YOU DONT LOVE ME!"
Coulson, Bobbi, and Hunter gathered by the door to listen, it was kind of hard not to hear.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!" Skye yelled.
"IT WAS TORTURE TO TAKE A BREAK FOR OVER TWO MONTHS!" Ward yelled. "AND I DONT THINK YOU EVEN CARED!"
"OF COURSE I CARED!" Skye yelled.
"OH YEAH SHOW ONE REASON HOW YOU THOUGHT OF ME WHILE YOU DECIDED TO TAKE A BREAK?!" Ward yelled.
Skye stopped and gaped for words. "Well...um...I..."
"EXACTLY!" Ward yelled.
"I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE!" Skye yelled and stormed out of the room.
Coulson, Bobbi, and Hunter scrambled out of sight so they wouldn't get caught ease dropping. Ward sighed and rubbed his forehead.
❃
"Hey Skye!" Coulson asked and knocked on her bedroom door. "Come out here I want to talk to you!"
Skye opened her door and looked at Coulson. "Yes?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to go on a mission by ourselves. You know, just take some time off. Take a break from everyone."
"Did you hear my conversation with Ward?!" Skye asked.
"Conversation? It was more like a yelling match," Coulson stated.
Skye sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Ok I'll come with you. I guess I do need some air from this base."
"Great," Coulson said. "Pack your stuff. Meet me in Lola in half an hour."
❃
Skye closed Lola's door and they drove away.
"So where we off to?" Skye asked.
"Oh just to some abandoned old building," Coulson replied. "I saw it marked on a map in Hydra's base and I wanted to know why they were interested in it."
Skye nodded. "You know, I'm glad you invited me. I needed to get away."
Coulson smiled.
❃
Ward sat in his room, pouting. Why can't Skye just forget about the incident and love me again! Unless she doesn't love me.......oh of course she does! I'm just so mad at her I'm so happy she left!
❃
Skye and Coulson hopped out of the car at the abandoned building. It turned out to be an old warehouse. Skye sighed. Another warehouse. Lovely. Coulson got out and loaded an icer. Skye did the same as they crept into the warehouse. They creeped down the hallway and rounded the corner. There stood ten Hydra agents with loaded guns. They shot towards Coulson and Skye but Skye threw back the bullets with her quake powers just in time. Coulson sighed, relieved. The Hydra agents looked surprised, giving Skye and Coulson the chance to attack them. Once they finished knocking them out, they ran around the corner and sighed.
"Coulson?!" Skye said. "I thought you said we were just going to check this place out!"
"I didn't know there were going to be Hydra agents in here!" He replied. "We might as well take them out!"
Skye sighed. "We might as well. I mean, we're only trying to defeat Hydra so we might as well take them out. Are you kidding me?! Of course we'll take them out! We're Shield! We can do this!"
"Skye-"
"WE'RE SHIELD!" Skye roared.
"Skye!" Coulson yelled.
Skye stopped and looked at him.
"You really need to get back together with Ward, don't you."
Skye sighed and nodded.
"Come on," Coulson ordered. "Let's finish this so you can get back together with your fiancé and not act all weird like you are."
They ran down the hallway and around the corner to see twelve more Hydra agents about to shoot at them. Skye sent them all flying back with her seismic waves. They flew back against the wall and were out.
"Good job," Coulson said and ran down the hall.
They ran into an open area, the center of the warehouse. They looked around to see why Hydra was so interested in this place. Then Skye heard a noise, she turned around to see a Hydra agent running towards them. Then she turned back around to see another Hydra agent about to shoot at Coulson.
"COULSON NO!" Skye yelled, forgetting about the agent behind her.
There were two loud bangs. The agent had shot at Coulson but Skye had blocked it. But the other agent behind her had shot Skye in the back. It took a second for Coulson to realize what happened. He looked at Skye and slowly saw her fall forward.
"No Skye NO!" He yelled and caught her.
Then he looked at the Hydra agent that had shot Skye. He didn't shoot Coulson, he just stood there in shock. Coulson took that advantage to ice the agent and turn back to Skye.
"Come on Skye," he said. "We've got to get you out of here."
The bullet didn't brush by her, it hit her square in the back. Coulson wrapped Skye's arm around his shoulder and slowly lifted her up. She went into a shock, not moving.
"Come on," Coulson said and struggled to carry her through the building. How am I going to get her to the hospital in time?!
He rounded the corner and found an emergency exit. He went through the door to see Lola right outside. Coulson looked at the car, relieved. Thank God! He helped Skye into the car and drove away, obviously breaking the speed limit. He whipped out his phone.
"Find nearest hospital!" He yelled at it.
"Finding dearest obstacle," it said in return.
"NO! FIND NEAREST HOSPITAL!" He roared.
"Finding a route to dearest obstacle."
"UGH!" Coulson yelled. "YOU STUPID PEICE OF JUNK!" He banged his phone on the dashboard of his car.
Then he looked up to see a building that said "Hospital". Thank God! Again!
He slammed on his breaks and rushed Skye into the building.
"Help!" He yelled. The nurses at the front desks ran over to him and helped carry Skye to the emergency room. They called in several doctors and told Coulson to go wait in the waiting room. He sighed and looked at Skye, covered in blood, and left.
❃
BRIIIING BRIIIIING! Ward looked at his phone to see Coulson calling. He sighed. Do I even want to pick this up?! He let it ring for a while. He sighed and looked at it. I'm so mad at Skye right now I can't even talk to Coulson because I know Skye's with him! It rang one last time. Ward sighed again. Oh fine! He picked it up and listened to Coulson's shivering voice. He dropped the phone and ran outside of his room.
"SKYE'S BEEN SHOT!" He yelled through the base. "IM GOING TO THE HOSPITAL!"
He didn't wait for a "WHAT?!" response before he ran to the garage. He leaped into a Shield car and drove away.
❃
"I got here as soon as I could!" Ward exclaimed and rushed over to Coulson in the waiting room. "How is she?! Can I see her? PLEASE TELL ME SHE'S OK!"
Coulson got up and put his hands on Ward's shoulders, pushing him down into a seat.
"I don't know," he answered with an emotionless face. "They haven't told me anything. I don't think they know."
"This never would have happened if you wouldn't have dragged Skye into that warehouse with you!" Ward yelled.
"Well I wouldn't have had to if you hadn't yelled at her and crushed her!" Coulson yelled back.
They both sighed and glared at each other, infuriated.
"You're right," Ward finally said. "I shouldn't have yelled at her."
"No," Coulson replied. "It was my fault. I shouldn't have brought her along. How could I have acted so stupid! If God hadn't helped us get out of that building and find a hospital, Skye would probably be dead right now."
They both sighed in silence.
"Well what do we do now?!" Ward finally asked.
Coulson sighed. "We wait."
