 "In ancient times, people believed the heavens were filled with gods and monsters and magical worlds. Then, as time passed, those beliefs faded into myth and folklore. But now we know the stories were true. Other worlds, with names like Asgard, do exist. And beings once revered as gods, like Thor, have returned, leaving us with questions and an enormous mess to clean up."

Skye listens to Simmons as she talks, eyes traveling over the pile of garb edge and from distractions after Thor's last visit to earth. Turning her attention towards Melinda, who she makes sure to keep close to at all times.

"Remind me, when I meet with my siblings or run into Stark again, I need to ask for a way to get in contact with Thor, I have a few very well-chosen words for him about how to clean things up after themselves."

She says in a low voice, which earns a smile from Melinda. Hearing how Simmons are still talking, and how Ward, Fitz and Coulson join in from time to time, Skye starts to go through the pile she is standing by.

"I just wish they'd left their alien ship behind."

She mentions, turning her head towards Melinda to see her reaction, which is to roll her eyes.

"So, we can clean that up, too?"

"So, we could go inside, take a peek under the hood, maybe take it for a spin. Come on, you're telling me piloting an alien ship isn't on your bucket list?"

Skye explains, rising up and have her attention towards Melinda, and she can see that Melinda is thinking it over, which makes Skye smile.

"I can't think of a single time when anything alien in human hands ended well."

Coulson suddenly jumps into their conversation, which makes Skye move closer to Melinda out of reaction and she can feel that Melinda takes a step closer to her too.

"Wouldn't mind getting my human hands-on Thor. He's so dreamy."

Skye says, trying to act as normal, from the look Coulson is giving her, the act is working.

"Sure, he's handsome, but --"

Coulson starts to say, only to be silenced by Melinda.

"No. He's dreamy."

She says, as she starts to walk away. Skye smiles happily that Melinda is on her side in even this and she follows Melinda, to make sure she isn't left alone with Coulson. She had told Melinda what had gone down in the HUB, explaining what happened in the room, and not just the things that Melinda had heard. To say Melinda wasn't angry was the understatement of the year and Skye was sure that she would have left the cockpit to handle Coulson in that very moment, if it wasn't for the fact that Skye needed her in that very moment.

She had spent a lot of time in the cockpit from that moment on and only left for food and sleep. She knows that Simmons have been asking for her, and she can feel that the scientist is keeping a closer eye on her of late. Which makes Skye wonder if the other woman is starting to realise something is wrong. Sometime during their cleaning mission, a new one is being sent to them and it was back to the BUS once more.

An attack in Norway made the team split up, Coulson takes Simmons and Ward with him, to scope out the sight, Melinda, Skye and Fitz stays behind in the BUS, Fitz heading down to the Lab to receive the information that is being sent, as she is keeping an eye on the news, checking if anything will catch their eyes. Feeling that Melinda is standing beside her. Finding what she is looking for, she shakes her head.

"Sir, doesn't look like they're hiding."

Skye speaks over the coms, looking at the screen in front of her.
