Their little star

Skye

"S.H.I.E.L.D is protecting that murderer? Do you even remember what she did, to you, to my Gwen?"

And there it is, Skye thinks and shakes her head.

"Ghost is innocent and is under S.H.I.E.L.D protection, if you have a complaint, you can take that up with Maria Hill. Now if you excuse me Captain Stacy, I need to make sure my clint is alright."

Skye informs the older man as she steps past him, only to stop beside Gideon.

"Considering the circumstances, it's good to see you again Gideon, don't hesitate to call now that you have my number."

Skye tells them before leaving the room, walking down the same way she walked, Skye soon finds herself outside where Ghost-Spider is waiting, leaning towards the wall. Shaking her head, Skye crosses her arms, lifting one eyebrow.

"How did this happen?"

She asks, and Ghost push herself from the wall to join her.

"I got a phone call, got a bit side-tracked and they got the best of me."

She replies and Skye rolls her eyes. She should have known. Smooth going there Gwen, she thinks. She's about to answer when her eyes lands on an angry looking Melinda, making Skye come to a stop. Ghost stopping beside her, and Skye can see that her friend is ready if needed.

"Stand down Ghost, it's just agent May."

Skye tells her, only to see how Ghost turn her attention towards Skye and even if her friend is wearing that mask, Skye knows her eyes have grown big in surprise.

"May as in?"

Ghost asks in a low voice and Skye nods her head. Seeing that Melinda now works towards them, Skye takes a deep breath, placing a hand on Ghost's upper arm.

"Now, head home. And call Ria."

She orders, which makes Ghost take a step away from her.

"What! No!"

"Yes! You are the one that got arrested, not me, so you will call Tia and tell her what happened. I have other things I need to deal with. Don't go against me on this Ghost, please."

Skye tells her as Melinda stops in front of them. Seeing how Ghost looks for her and towards Melinda, she finally nods her head.

"Fine, I'll call her. At least I can handle Ria."

Ghost finally says, with a nod towards Skye and then to Melinda, she swings away, and Skye turns her attention towards Melinda.

"You followed me?"

She asks, not the question she wanted to ask first but it's the first one that come out.

"Coulson's order."

Melinda answered shortly and Skye should have known better. Of course, Coulson would do something like this, at least it's not Ward.

"Well, you can tell Coulson I didn't betray you all in the way he think I would. I didn't leak information to Miles that we are here, someone else did. I was called to the police to come down and when the police call, it's for the best to answer the call, isn't it?"

Skye informs Melinda, sounding more hurt than she though she would. She can see a hint of conflict in Melinda's eyes, but the woman keeps silent. Crossing her arms, Skye waits.

"What was that about?"

Melinda asks, and Skye rolls her eyes.

"Doing my job, making sure a friend who is wrongly accused of murder is safe. Which includes getting her out of the police station if she gets arrested."
