As a few months have flown by,
Skylar's eyes flutter open,
her mind slowly emerging from the depths of sleep as she registers the figure standing before her.
The Deep's presence in her private room sends a shiver down her spine,
his gaze inscrutable as he watches her wake with a silent intensity.
Startled she asked him,
Skylar : What are you doing here?
The Deep's expression remains impassive as he regards Skylar,
his eyes betraying nothing of his intentions.
The Deep : Just checking in on you, Skylar. Making sure you're settling in alright.
Skylar sits up in bed,
casting a wary glance around her room as she takes in the familiar surroundings of Vought Tower.
Skylar : I'm fine, thank you.
I don't need anyone checking up on me.
The Deep nods, his demeanor calm and collected as he takes a step closer to Skylar.
The Deep : Fair enough.
But I couldn't help but notice you seemed a bit...
unsettled during yesterday's mission.
Skylar's jaw tightens at the mention of the mission, memories of the harrowing events flooding back to her.
Skylar : It was a difficult situation.
Things didn't go as planned.
The Deep nods in understanding,
his gaze lingering on Skylar with a hint of curiosity.
The Deep : Well, if you ever need someone to talk to about it, I'm here.
We're all in this together, after all.
Skylar's instincts bristle at The Deep's offer of support,
her trust in her fellow Seven members still shaky at best.
Skylar : Thanks, but I think I'll manage on my own.
The Deep nods in acceptance,
his expression unreadable as he turns to leave Skylar's room.
The Deep : Suit yourself.
But remember, Skylar, you're not alone here. We're a team, whether you like it or not.
With that cryptic statement,
The Deep exits Skylar's room,
leaving her alone with her thoughts. As she watches him go,
She can't shake the feeling of what shock and digust he gave her with his behavior,
Skylar's voice carries a note of disdain as she confronts The Deep's unsettling behavior,
her gaze piercing as she meets his eyes.
Skylar : Watching someone while they sleep without their consent?
That's not checking in,
that's crossing a line.
You need to learn some boundaries, Deep.
The Deep's expression remains stoic in the face of Skylar's accusation,
though a flicker of discomfort briefly passes over his features.
The Deep : I...I apologize, Skylar.
I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.
I just wanted to make sure you were okay after yesterday's mission.
Skylar's skepticism lingers,
her distrust of The Deep evident in her guarded stance.
Skylar : Well, next time,
knock before you barge in.
And don't make a habit of it.
The Deep nods contritely, his gaze dropping to the floor as he takes a step back.
The Deep : Understood. I'll leave you to get ready for the day.
As The Deep turns to leave, Skylar's eyes narrow, a sense of wariness still lingering in the air.
Skylar's voice cuts through the tension like a blade,
her tone laced with fury as she confronts The Deep's invasive behavior.
The glow of her red eyes adds an ominous edge to her words,
a warning of the simmering anger beneath the surface.
