(I already explained what happened before this to them)
INT: Coulson's office on the Bus

Skye comes in and sits down.

SKYE: I didn't want anything to —

COULSON: Stop lying. Since the moment you stepped foot on this plane, you've been lying to my face, to all of us.

Peter P: Bit harsh.

Natasha: Not really. If she's gonna let someone go then-

SKYE: No, I haven't —

COULSON: You're lying now! I stood up for you to my team down there. And some of us started to believe in you, risked our lives for you.

Wanda: Maybe she'll talk if you don't cut her off. Kinda simple

Skye: Never asked you to risk your lives for me. -mutters-

SKYE: I ... [she sighs]

COULSON: Why are you here?! You've been keeping something from us... this whole time. And it wasn't just a boyfriend. You have a secret, Skye, and one chance to come out with it. That's now, or I'm done with you.

Natasha: I haven't seen Coulson get this angry. In ages.

May: Coulson doesn't get angry easily. He really cares about Skye that's why.

There's a pause. Skye reaches into her bra and pulls out the card she's had since we first saw her put it in there in 1x01. She sets it on Coulson's desk.

COULSON: What is this?

SKYE: It's everything I have.

COULSON: On us?

Skye looks up, tearful.

SKYE: On me. [deep breath] [voice breaking] That's why I learned to cr*ck systems, why I joined the Rising Tide ...

-Shield team looks at her with sympathy-

Coulson puts the card into his computer, which [beeps]

SKYE: ... to find any details I could about my parents.

[computer beeps]

SKYE [nearly crying]: There's nothing. No records. There's no trace of them. My lifelong search has led to a single document — redacted.

COULSON: By S.H.I.E.L.D.

Coulson: -looks at fury- fury why is it redacted.

Fury: I can't say

Steve: just come out with it.

Skye: -looks at fury-

Fury: you'll probably find out watching.

May: fury. Just tell us. I'm sure it's not gonna kill you.

Fury: it was extreme measures. The girl herself was an 084.

Skye: What.

Hill: It was the best way to protect you.

Skye: Sorry I'm in need for some air. -walks out-

SKYE: No matter what you do, I'll never stop looking.

COULSON: You might not like what you find.

SKYE: It can't be worse than what I've imagined.

May: -looks at worry on the screen- I'm going to go check on her.

COULSON: Maybe I can help.

[Skye inhales shakily]

But this is, of course, a disciplinary meeting, and discipline must be exacted. He pulls out another box with another bracelet in it. Skye takes it as he walks out of the office.

Peter P: Damn she got grounded.
