DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

Skye's POV

I was standing in the makeshift gym for some reason. There were two SHIELD vans right outside of the cargo hold. Then, the agents came out. I could see at least a dozen or so. Three of them started to approach me. I felt my heartbeat go faster. Where was everyone? Where was Coulson? Where was Grant? I was starting to panic now.

"You need to come with us," said the agent in front of me in a monotonous voice.

"What? Where?" I asked frantically.

"You have been deemed dangerous to this team. We need to bring you to Headquarters." They grabbed me by the arms.

"No, wait. Coulson! Cou–"

"They can't help you."

"No, wait! Please–"

As I struggled, I turned around and saw Coulson and May arrive. They saw what was happening and quickly went down, wearing looks of shock.

"What is going on!?" Coulson demanded.

"Let go of the girl." May said forcefully.

"We can't do that, ma'am. We have orders from Director Fury." They started to pull me towards the vans.

No. No. I can't leave.

I saw FitzSimmons hurriedly go out of the lab to find out what was going on.

"Orders to do what exactly!?" Coulson shouted as he hurriedly followed me as I was dragged. I almost feared Grant wasn't going to show up. But there he appeared on the catwalk, looking outraged. I looked at his eyes though my vision was getting blurry because of the tears.

"That's classified." The agents then pushed me inside the van.

"No, please–" I cried. Through the window, I saw Grant run towards me, but the van quickly drove off.

"Please, I haven't even said goodbye!" I told the agent in the passenger seat.

"We had orders to collect you as soon as possible, in any way we had to." He answered with an emotionless tone.

I cried and cried as I looked out the window. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye properly. Not to FitzSimmons. Not to May or Coulson. And especially not to Grant.

"Please, please take me back!" I demanded. They did nothing but ignore me. I was furious now. I kept shouting, "TAKE ME BACK! TAKE ME BACK!" My vision was starting to cloud. Before everything disappeared, I heard a voice.

"Skye! Skye! Wake up!"

I bolted right up. I felt cold sweat dripping from my face. I looked around and saw Grant leaning over me, looking concerned. I didn't even say anything. I started crying again and I felt Grant pull me into his arms.

"Shhh, it's okay. Skye, it's okay." He whispered to me while rubbing circles on my back.

"Don't let them take me away. Don't let them take me away." I said in between sobs.

"Shhh, no one's gonna take you away, Skye. I promise you. You're not going anywhere. I won't let anyone take you." He said.

"I wanna stay here." I said while still crying.

"And you will. I won't let anything happen to you, okay?" Grant said. I nodded against his chest.

"You need to calm down. Just breathe, okay? In...Out..."

After a few moments of that, I relaxed against him, but didn't stop crying. He rubbed my back as he continued to whisper soothing words in my ear. I was glad that Grant came. He always made me feel safe no matter what. He was the only one who could do that. Growing up alone, I was used to finding comfort from myself only. But now, I had been given a team. A family. And I had Grant.

A few more minutes passed until I pulled away. Grant still looked worried.

"What happened?" He asked softly.

"Nightmare." I answered, though I kept my head down.

"You wanna talk about it?"

I looked at his eyes which were full of concern. There was a knowing look there and my gut told me to ask.

"You know, don't you?" I asked quietly. He nodded. Oh no...What does Grant think of me now?

I kept my head down and let a few tears escape. Then, Grant lifted my chin with his fingers.

"Skye," he started.

"Are you scared?" I asked.

"The only thing I'm afraid of is failing to protect you, Skye. I'm afraid that I won't be able to do enough to keep you safe."

My heart melted at his words. He cares about me.

"But–"

"But nothing. Don't even think about what SHIELD can do. What's important is what we can do. This team. Me. We will do everything to make sure you're safe here with us, not in some isolated containing room, but here with me. I promise you that, Skye." He wiped my tears off and cupped my face. "Trust me."

Then he leaned forward and kissed my forehead. When he pulled away, I was afraid he would leave. But instead he asked, "Do you want me to stay with you?" I nodded and he smiled at me. I lied back down and he lied right next to me. He wrapped his arms around me and I pressed my face against his chest. He pulled me closer and I slowly drifted off to sleep. I felt Grant kiss the top of my head, and the last thing I heard from him was, "I'll always be here to protect you."
