Skye loved her goddaughter, she really did butthere were times she wondered about how the little girl got her to do things. Though, Sophia Triplett had her mother’s accent and her father’s charm so maybe, it wasn’t as big of a mystery as she thought.

It was her love for the little girl that had Skye coming to the park to feed the ducks. Sophia was heartbroken when she found out that she was going out of town to see Grandmum and Granddad Simmons so wouldn’t be able to visit her feathered friends. Skye hated to see her sad so promised that she would visit and send pictures.

Walking down the familiar path, Skye was grateful that it was a pleasant spring day out so she didn’t regret the promise as much as she would have if it had been raining.

As she continued walking, she was passed by a cute guy jogging who winked at her who caused her to grin.

The ducks were splashing around in the water when Skye approached them.

So maybe, she could see the charm…maybe.

Before she moved over to the nearby bench, she snapped a couple pictures of the ducks as she knew Sophia would appreciate them and was probably bugging her parents about her ducks.

The text that she got back from Trip proved that.

[THANK YOU. SO MUCH.]

Skye laughed.

It was Trip’s fault that Sophia loved the ducks so much in the first place.

Opening her bag, Skye pulled out the breadcrumbs that her goddaughter specially prepares for them and the ducks reacted to the noise.

It was bedlam and chaos as her feet were surrounded by quacking.

“Okay, okay….haven’t you heard of ‘don’t bite the hand that feeds you’? The same goes for the legs and feet.”

Skye tossed a handful of bread crumbs a couple feet away from her then breathed a sigh of relief as the ducks moved away.

After a few moments, she established a routine that kept her safe and make the ducks happy as she took pictures of them.

The ducks were looking at her for more crumbs when Skye heard someone yelling.

“BLOODY HELL, YOU DEMONIC HELL BEAST! GET OUT OF HERE, YOU BASTARD!”

Concerned, Skye followed the screaming and was surprised by what she saw.

The cute runner from earlier was stuck up in a tree and yelling at an angry goose and she couldn’t help laughing then snapped a quick picture of it.

Apparently the goose didn’t like being laughed at because it turned its attention onto Skye and came at her with startling speed.

Skye’s eyes widened as she tried to back up then run away with the goose giving chase.

The next several minutes are spent trying to get away from the goose but it doesn’t help before she finds herself standing underneath the same tree that cute runner man is in.

“Give me your hand, sweetheart.”

She reaches up and the man helps her get up into the tree before the killer goose gets her ankles.

“Thanks. So what did you do to piss off the goose?”

The man stared at goose that seemed to be settling down now that they were both in the tree.

“….I may have walked into it.”

Skye couldn’t help staring at him.

“What’s that look for?”

“How do you almost step on a goose?”

He narrowed his eyes.

“When the goose chooses an inconvenient place to nap that is hidden by a bush.”

Skye thought about it then shrugged.

“So how long do you think we’ll be stuck up here for?”

“Tired of my company already, sweetheart?”

“Considering it’s your fault we’re stuck up here…..”

He frowned.

“You have a point.”

A few moments later, he smirked.

“How about I make it up to you with dinner?”

Skye matched his smirk with one of her own.

“Only if you tell me your name.”

“Fair enough. The name’s Lance Hunter and you are?”

“Skye Coulson.”

“Pleasure to meet you, Skye.”

“That remains to be seen.”

“Oh, I’m sure I can change your mind if you know what I mean.”

Skye rolled her eyes but she liked the idea; blame it on her dry spell.

“So, do you think we could take a chance and run for it?”

Lance looked down to see if he could locate the goose and nodded his head when he saw that it was far enough away.

“If we head in the opposite direction, we shouldn’t have a problem with the beast.”

Moving to the other side of the tree so he was out of the bird’s line of sight, Lance carefully dropped down to the ground then pressed up against the tree.

“Aren’t you being a bit over dramatic?”

He glared up at her.

“You weren’t almost pecked to death.”

Skye giggled as she moved around to the backside of the tree then dropped down into his arms.

“Aren’t you going to thank your hero?”

“Hero my ass.”

“I want to.”

She smacked his shoulder before pulling out of his arms.

“Let’s get out of here before you’re in no condition to go on our date.”

Lance looked at her confused.

Skye pointed over his shoulder at the goose who realized they weren’t in the tree anymore.

His eyes widened as he grabbed her hand so he could pull her after him.

Skye’s laughter echoed after them as she didn’t think her friends would believe what happened despite the photographic proof.

"You are cute but we're not going to be a thing." + Skyelance?

“You are cute but we’re not going to be a thing.”

Skye couldn’t help laughing at the expression on Lance’s face at her statement. His eyes were wide and his jaw dropped. Apparently, no one ever told him that before. Well, she usually likes being the first to do something.

“Why the bloody hell not?”

Letting out a sigh, she knew that he was going to ask that.

“Maybe, it’s the fact that you still have something going on with Bobbi? I like causing trouble but not that kind of trouble.”

Lance’s stare was starting to annoy her, so the brunette started to walk away.

However, the movement brought Lance back to the moment and he quickly moved so that he was standing in front of her.

“Hey! Hey! Hey! Wait just one moment. You’ve got it all wrong.”

The Brit needed to make Skye realize the truth.

At the exclamation, Skye looked at him with a quirked eyebrow. She couldn’t help be intrigued.

“Go on…”

“Bobbi is….it’s fun to mess with and bicker with Bob, keeps things interesting. Yeah, the sex was great but we broke up for a reason.”

Lance smirked before revealing the other truth.

“Besides, she has a thing for British biochemists.”

 Skye’s jaw dropped at the comment because, while she knew her best friend had a crush on the taller woman, she didn’t know it was reciprocated.

“That’s…..well, that’s really interesting.”

Of course, now she had to reveal the other reason why they couldn’t be a thing.

“Here’ the thing…I’m more than sort of sleeping with Trip.”

Skye bit her lip as she waited for Lance to react.

“I did not see that coming; thought he was into Simmons.”

Honestly, so did she so it was a surprise to find out it wasn’t true but she wasn’t going to admit it to the Brit.

Though, she wasn’t sure she liked the look on his face.

“What are you thinking? You’re up to something.”

“You’re just sleeping together? You’re not officially together-together?”

“Yes, that’s correct. What about it?”

“Trip just seems like the kind of guy who’d want to make it official if it’s serious.”

Alright, so the Brit had a point but she hadn’t talked about it with her lover so she didn’t know if he wasn’t just waiting for her.

“That still doesn’t explain the look on your face.”

“Just thinkin’ that there’s gotta be a way around this, that will give all three of us what we want.”

The brunette quirked an eyebrow at him.

“What? Like me getting to be with the both of you and you’re both okay with it or something?” she said sarcastically.

However, it backfired on her.

Lance’s eyes lit up and she groaned.

“You’re not serious.”

Grabbing her wrist, he pulled her after him as he went in search of Trip’s location in the base.

“That’s brilliant; almost like I came up with it.”

Skye rolled her eyes.

There was no way that this could end well even if she liked the image of Lance and Trip together.

Prompt 26: Champagne

The champagne sparkled under the light as she stared it.

“You know, you’re supposed to drink that instead of starin’ at it, sweetheart.”

“Oh, I plan to; when I’m good and ready.”

Lance walked over to the couch and sat down next to her, his own glass in hand.

“You know, today was huge for us, worth celebrating.”

Skye smiled at the Brit.

“Yeah, I know. Guess I just need some sleep.”

Lifting his arm up, Lance draped it over her shoulder and pulled her close.

“Cheers sweetheart.”

The pair clinked their glasses together then took a sip of champagne.

Skylance beta

Skylance project, gungnir, longinus, etc. coredweller defense system. Note coredwellers are these resource-hunting aliens that use magnetic fields o indicate where to mystically spacetimey teleport to, but they got their asses stuck in the planet so they’re trying to bust their way the fuck out by murdering everything inbetween them and space, read the planet and its occupants. so they bust outta the ground all the time, but other than that dudes been chillin in the core of the planet. Seeing as they dick around underground, being dropped from orbit is a eat way to get a good start on shanking them. Theres mass drivers (big ol vertical railguns) to launch the Skylances into orbit/damn fuckin high. Autonomous robot orbital drop guardian things. The beta was less smart, less strong, less everything. But then they started laying traps, and ambushes, and now he’s the only one left. 70 years old, 65 years redundant, and its all we’ve got, so we need to patch him.
