Their little star

Skye

"Are you alright?"

Pepper asks as the car speeds down the road, taking in a deep breath, Skye nods her head as an answer. She is however not sure that she is alright or not, now isn't the time to try and figure that out.

"We need to get out Malta as quickly as possible. I need to call the team to inform them I'm alright and give them a way to find me so they can pick me and Dr Hall up."

Skye informs and she can see how Pepper nods her head before leaning forwards towards the driver. Taking out her phone, Skye looks for the Melinda's number and calls it. Leaning further back in the seat, feeling how she is growing tired.

"Skye?"

"Sorry for that, I needed to gain Quinn's trust if I wanted to get a better access point. I'm out of the building and we are heading out of Malta. I have given Fitz the ability to track my phone so either of you can come and pick me up."

Skye informs the older agent, hopping she doesn't sound all to worn out.

"I'll have Fitz track you and inform me, I will see you later."

Melinda tells her before the call ends. Feeling a hint of dread at this information. Skye lowers her phone, eyes still on it. Feeling that Pepper sits back beside her once more, Skye slumps even more.

"Something wrong?"

Pepper asks, careful as she asks the question. Skye takes in a deep breath, knowing it's for the best to tell Pepper what is going to happen, considering she will be meeting with Melinda, and she has a higher chance to order Stark from saying or doing anything stupid.

"Well, I'm sure Stark told you everything, considering you know I have a connection with Coulson."

She starts, seeing how Pepper nods her head as an answer, Skye takes in a deep breath.

"Well, before Coulson took care of me, there was another S.H.I.E.L.D agent, an agent that was force to take in a small, scared and badly hurt girl."

Skye starts to explain, glancing towards Pepper she can see the woman wish to ask something, but she keeps silent. Sadness can be seen in her eyes.

"Her name is Melinda May, and once we are safe, you will meet her. There is however a small problem..."

"Don't tell me she doesn't realise who you are either?"

"I suspect she knows that something is up with me, but so far, she only thinks of me as the hacker that Coulson thinks is a good idea to have around."

Skye tells her and she can see how Pepper rolls her eyes.

"Do I need to have a word with her too?"

Pepper asks, making Skye smile slightly.

"No, I can handle Melinda if it comes down to it. And I think Maria will want to have a word or two with her once she learns about it all."

Skye tells Pepper who nods her head, she is however going to let Pepper have a word with Coulson once he learns that she is in fact little Mary. Feeling how the car starts to slow down, Skye looks outside to see Stark waiting, alone.

"Oh no, this looks bad."

Skye comments and from the corner of her eyes, she can see how Pepper nods her head in agreement. The moment the car comes to a stop, Skye opens the door and is out in a heartbeat, Stark looking up at her and shaking his head. Seeing that Stark is about to talk, she holds up her hand.

"No, save it to when Agent May gets here."

She tells him, the less she knows, the better she will feel about it all. Finding a large rock, she sits down, trying to figure out what step to take next. Realising what problem this mission can create, not with S.H.I.E.L.D but with her siblings, Skye looks up at Stark.
