        “Can I use this chair? Everywhere else is full, and you’re the closest to a charger, so….” Skye tried to shoot the guy a winning smile. Had she really forgotten how to interact with normal people? (Wasn’t that something? Her job was to help people, after all. To protect them from the unknown. How come it felt like she’d spent most of her time helping powered people recently?) She cradled her dinosaur of a laptop, looking hesitantly at the open chair.

          As much as he would be hesitant to admit it later, Thomas was more focused on the coffee in front of him than the people around him. It was rude, and he knew it, but until he could figure out a way to get his newest project to work properly, his thoughts would be entirely occupied with caffeine and work. After a few moments, he finally registered that someone had spoken to him, lifting his head and offering a somewhat awkward smile in return. “Yeah, go for it. Sorry, I was just… thinking about stuff.”

[leveloneforaday]

        “It’s okay. I totally get it, the deep in thought look.” Skye grinned and moved to slide into the open chair, setting up her laptop and getting it plugged in. “I’m, uh-” She paused for a moment as the computer booted up, stretching out a hand to her table companion. “I’m Daisy.”

       and when our children tell our story -- 

                                                   they’ll tell the story of tonight.

‘cause darling i’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream

HYDRA found her first, lurking in that van. They coaxed her out, and when she tried to fight, she was made to comply. They corrupted her, turned her fighting spirit into a weapon, and shoved her back in that van to wait.

HYDRA verse

[leveloneforaday]

i could be an accident but i’m still trying

Her mother is dead, her father has been Tahiti’d. Her little family is a mess. Forging a path through this new world is going to be something else entirely. 

Main verse- takes the place of s3

Note: She still uses the name Skye. 

[leveloneforaday]

i will defend the faith going down swinging

With the betrayal of Ward and everything else to push her, she’s stopped questioning orders. She’s going to do whatever’s goddamn necesarry to rip HYDRA apart with her bare hands. And right after she’s done with that- she’s going to stop her monster of a father.

s2 verse

[leveloneforaday]

this is the road to ruin and we’re starting at the end

Just when she thought she had it all figured out (she had a badge, for god’s sake), the message comes out. Out of the shadows HYDRA came, crumbling SHIELD, and now she’s on the run.

s1b verse

[leveloneforaday]

there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

She’s gotten pulled into this madness, this insanity aboard the Bus, but she loves it. The team is her family, the one she never had. She’s going to be a field agent. She’s going to make something out of herself.

s1a verse

[leveloneforaday]

erase myself and let go, start it over again in mexico

Skye is a Rising Tide hacker, dedicated to telling the world the truth about what’s going on.

Some Shall Be Pardoned

Skye turned into him a little as he lifted her, the woman still responding to the close proximity even while unconscious. She cared about him deeply– a short time of knowing the truth couldn’t outweigh the time she’d spent falling for him, and if she wasn’t awake to fight it, well….

Not many people seemed too concerned while he walked, and the few people who seemed curious didn’t ask questions. He got them into a cab in a matter of minutes, and he gave the driver the address to the office building Hydra had been operating out of. Until she woke up, he had to make sure she was somewhere safe, and even Grant wouldn’t risk ruining a truce with SHIELD.

[leveloneforaday]

It had been safer to knock herself out. There was too much turmoil rolling around inside her body, impossible to control in her emotional state. Luckily there hadn't been too much damage.

[monkeyinawell]

leveloneforaday:

Skye flicked the safety back on and tucked the gun in her waistband. “Get up. Slowly. And- and hands behind your head.”

He gave a weak nod of his head, pushing himself up off the ground and keeping a wary eye on her. If he followed her instructions, maybe he could still follow his original orders somewhere down the road. Once he was on his feet, Thomas was careful to be keep his hands in her line of sight until he had them behind his head.

[leveloneforaday]

Skye gulped a little- how was she going to get him to the Vault? "Okay, uh....." She moved so she was next to him. "You're gonna come with me. You try anything funny, I'll knock you out."

Some Shall Be Pardoned

[monkeyinawell]

leveloneforaday:

The shaking stopped the moment she shot herself, the world coming to a standstill again before the air filled with shouts of confusion. Skye slumped against Tommy, her head lolling about a little bit now that she wasn’t awake to keep it up. The ICER hung loosely in her hand.

Shaking his head, he kept his arms around her so that he could keep her upright while blindly grabbing for the firearm so that he could hide it from sight. Taking a breath, he glanced around and made sure no one was paying much attention to them before lifting her off her feet and into his arms. “I’m taking you somewhere safe, I promise.”

[leveloneforaday]

Skye turned into him a little as he lifted her, the woman still responding to the close proximity even while unconscious. She cared about him deeply-- a short time of knowing the truth couldn't outweigh the time she'd spent falling for him, and if she wasn't awake to fight it, well....

[monkeyinawell]

leveloneforaday:

Skye winced a little in response, scrambling forward for the gun frantically. If she could take that out of play, she could take him into custody. They could help him.

Thomas stayed still, hesitantly opening his eyes to look over at her while biting his tongue. He hadn’t been warned about that, and that really should have been something worth mentioning when they sent him in alone.

[leveloneforaday]

Skye flicked the safety back on and tucked the gun in her waistband. "Get up. Slowly. And- and hands behind your head."

[monkeyinawell]

leveloneforaday:

Damn it. He left her no choice. “Please know that I’m sorry,” she got out before throwing her hands back up to try and force him back sharply. Skye had to protect her team.

He frowned in confusion at her words, dropping the gun and trying to bring his hands up to protect his head automatically before he could hit the wall too hard.

Skye winced a little in response, scrambling forward for the gun frantically. If she could take that out of play, she could take him into custody. They could help him.
