this is another short chapter. sorry. But the next chapter is longer. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks to the amazing people following, faving, and reviewing getting me to finally rewrite this and get it up and going again. This is a bit different to the original one i wrote but i lost it so whatever.

It was agonizing for everyone, but Jemma and Coulson the most. Both for a different meaning but the same reason, love. Skye hasn't been seen for almost two years now. The day since she disappeared, all traces pointed to Hydra, Coulson and Simmons threw themselves into their work, they beat themselves up (not literally), and they ate, drank, and slept less than they used to. They were always looking for something to lead them to Skye, but Hydras tail was tucked so close to it, they couldn't find anything. They were the only two left who still had hope of finding Skye. Everyone else lost hope after the first six months. Now they were on a real mission. Not following threads of string like they had been doing lately. Fury had been giving them more than enough space and time, only occasional missions here and there, but it seemed as if he had finally reached his climax, as this was the fourth mission of the last two days. They did three yesterday and now they were infiltrating a base thought to be Hydras, which held and extremely high-value 0-8-4. They didn't know what it looked like or what it was, so it was going to be hard to find it in such a big base. That was until they saw the base was crawling with Hydra guards, protecting one thing.

Maybe you won't have to wait another year! sorry 'bout that by the way. :)
