Their little star

Skye

"At least through some of the foster homes. It was the one thing I could count on was the same every time."

She explains, not lying for once. Which in this moment felt a bit odd, she had grown used to laying to these people. But the only foster family that never took her to the studio was the one she lived with between Victoria and her siblings, and that family was a bad one in other ways too so.

"You want to go over there, don't you?"

Simmons asks, making Skye nod her head in a respond. From the corner of her eye, she can see how Simmons and Fitz looks at one another and she recognises the silent conversation happening between them.

"You go over there; we can take care of the shopping. Come over once you are done."

Simmons tells her, making Skye smile big before hugging Simmons, something that surprises both her and the British woman.

"Thank you! I owe you one!"

She tells them, before she heads for the dance studio, making sure she can cross the road without a problem. Reaching for the door, she takes out her wallet to get the key card so she can let herself in. The security system was added once Skye moved in with her siblings, just to keep her extra safe. Placing the card on the lock, hearing it klick open, she pushes the door open.

Stepping into the studio, Skye takes in a deep breath, and she can feel how the stress and worry that has been hanging over her melt away. Looking over to the receptions, she stops in her movement. Her eyes landing on a woman she hasn't seen before.

"Who are you, where is Zari?"

She asks, her eyes narrowed and ready if she will need to escape. The woman seems to be around the same age as herself.

"I'm Michelle."

Is the respond Skye receives, which makes her narrow her eye's.

"Where is Zari?"

She asks once more, her tone growing a bit darker this time and she can see how the young woman freezes up slightly.

"Calm down Skye, she is jumping in since Zari decided to stay home sick."

A familiar voice speaks up, making Skye relax slightly as she sees Evgenia walk out from the backroom. Seeing how Evgenia place a hand on the young woman's shoulder before stepping out behind the receptionist to give Skye a hug. Calming down in the hug, she keeps a watchful eye on the new woman.

"Who is she?"

Skye asks, once Evgenia releases her.

"Oh, she's Zari's niece."

Evgenia explains and Skye looks at the young woman, finally smiling slightly.

"Poor thing."

She says, which makes Evgenia laugh, and Michelle smiles slightly at this.

"So, Zari decided to be sick when I finally decide to come for a visit."

Skye points out, moving from the door and towards the reception, where she jumps up to sit. Seeing the look Evgenia gives her, Skye smiles big before she turns her attention towards Michelle.

"You know, your aunt is a pain in everyone's..."

"Skye!"

Evgenia interrupts before Skye has a chance to finish what she was saying, which makes Michelle laugh this time around.

"See, she already knows this."

Skye adds which makes Evgenia roll her eyes. Smiling, Skye turns her attention back to Michelle once more.
