Chapter Text
Coulson was suppose to be the one bringing Skye to the Safe house but being Director had its disadvantages and one just happened to be him not being able to currently leave the Playground. So instead of being comforted by the closet thing she had to a father, Skye found herself staring out the cockpit of the Quin jet with May. Who was not much of a conversationalist let alone someone who would offer comfort. She sighed and tried to focus on the positive things like the amazing view. "He wanted to be here."
May's voice startled her. "What?"
"Coulson wanted to be here, Skye. He cares for you, honestly I think your the daughter he never knew he wanted."
Skye watched as a small smile flashed across May's face before it returned to its normal resting bitch face mode."so where are you taking me?"
"To a safe house only a handful of people know about.Its secret enough that it's was never put in any of shield's records."
"Let me guess it's in the middle of nowhere and since no one knows about it, no one will show up and I can't hurt anyone..."
Skyes voice trailed off as she looked down at her lap. May reached over and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Skye some of that is true, yes it is secluded and yes since very few people know about it you don't be bothered. You are wrong though about why we are taking you there. This is the best place for you to be able to relax and focus on your powers."
May's hand drifted down to touch the bracers on Skye's arms. "The stress of keeping people on the base safe was causing you to injure yourself. We are hoping that with no one at risk you will be able to focus on control and not the restraint of your powers.We care about you Skye, your family"
Ok that made Skye feel a bit better, they weren't sending her away because they were scared of her. "Thanks May, I appreciate you saying that."
"If you tell anyone what I said you will regret it."
The rest of the flight passed in silence but it was comfortable.

"So why does Shield own a farm house in the middle of the boonies?"
Skye sat her bag on the couch and looked around. The place looked rather cozey. Which struck Skye as odd for a shield safe house.
"It's not technically a shield safe house. Which is why this is the safest place for you to be."
May was in the kitchen stocking the fridge . "don't worry only 5 people know about this place, so you should be able to get plenty of rest and relaxation."
"So who else knows about this place?"
May smiled and placed a hand on Skyes shoulder "don't worry about it. Now I have to get back to the base, either Coulson or I will contact you every day around 7pm to check in ok. If you need anything call us."
Skye nods and watches from the porch as May heads for the quin jet. May looks over her shoulder "I still expect you to train every day Skye. This is not a vacation."

Clint was tired. Sure he didn't really have job anymore what with shield falling to Hydra, Tony had set up and account for each of the Avengers shortly after they all started working as a team so he really didn't need a new job. Life at the tower though was exhausting. Don't get him wrong he loved it there, except for the constant explosions from the lab.
Tony and Bruce bonding was a shock to everyone but they are total science bros. Thor occasionally stopping in was always a good time which involved a lot of asgardian alchol. Steve and Sam were off chasing the winter soilder aka Bucky Barnes and only checked in every few months and Natasha oddly enough was spending a lot of time in the lab with Tony and Bruce. Clint really dodnt know what to make of that. So to put it simply he was physically rested but mentality he was just tired. This ment one thing, a trip to the farm.
A few weeks alone with the silence of the country side sounded amazing. So he wondered down to the garage and grabbed the keys to his old jeep. It was beaten up, and probably needed a new paint job. He could afford it now but it was so much more fun to watch Tony's face every time he saw it parked next to his fancy smacy cars. He didn't bother leaving a note or telling anyone where he was headed. Natasha would figure it out, cover for him and keep Tony from trying to find him.
The drive was long but quite and already he was feeling more relaxed. It was dark by the time he was pulling into the long driveway. As he got closer to the house he noticed there was a light on in one of the up stairs rooms. He quickly turned off the headlights and killed the engine. Reaching behind him he pulled out his now and crept towards the house. Only a select few knew of this place and none of them were here. As he got closer he noticed that there were no cars around so whoever was here either walked or was flown in.
Carefully he scaled the railing of the porch to get to the roof. Inching his way to the room with the light on he noticed the window was open. Ok these are like the worst criminals ever. Seriously who breaks into a house then leaves lights on and Windows open? Easing aside the curtain he glanced into his room and saw a person shaped lump on the bed. Their breathing was calm and even so they must be asleep. Crawling in he draws an arrow and notches it. Once he is next to the bed he whips back the coves and aims the arrow at the intruders head. He registers that she was cute about 2 seconds before she screams and throws up her hands. Next thing he noticed was the sensation of flying through the air and slamming into the wall.
