What if Lash had killed Skye when they were capturing him? How would the team react, especially Bobbi and May?

In this fic Bobbi is Skye's soul mate but it's not in the same universe as my other Skye/Bobbi soul mate fic. So these events are not at all related to that fic. Set in episode 7, when Andrew had May handcuffed in some kind of warehouse.

This is only going to be a short fic, so I think there'll be one more chapter.

Sorry for still calling her Skye, but I just can't get used to Daisy, so I thought it might just be best to call her Skye for the time being.

Sorry for any spelling and/or grammar mistakes.

Skye threw May the keys to get the handcuffs off of her, then tried to fend off Andrew as he charged at her. She quickly raised her hands and sent a force towards him. The force didn't even knock him off his feet, it just pushed him back a couple of steps. Skye's eyes widened in horror as Andrew glared at her and raised his arms. He sent a huge blast at her and she flew backwards and landed on her back. Skye got to her feet and ran down the stairs where Lincoln was waiting as backup. Lash followed her.

May quickly got the handcuffs off and went to follow Skye.

She stood at the top of the stairs and looked down. She was greeted by the sight of Lincoln shooting sparks and Skye sending huge forces towards Andrew who was slowly advancing, barely even feeling the force of Skye's and Lincoln's powers. Suddenly Coulson appeared and charged at Andrew. Andrew sent a huge force out to him and Coulson skidded across the floor and hit his head against the wall, rendering him unconscious.

May sprinted down the stairs as Lincoln was knocked off his feet by Lash, leaving Skye to deal with him on his own. The ground was shaking furiously and May was struggling to stay on her feet. Her eyes widened in horror as Skye was lifted off her feet by an invisible force. She was tossed against the wall and her head hit the ground with a sickening crack.

A blue glow appeared in Andrew's hand and he bent over Skye.

"Andrew!" May screamed. She was still too far away; she wouldn't be able to reach them in time. The man turned around to look at her and the glowing in his hand stopped. May was silently pleading for Skye to use this distraction to get herself out of Andrew's way, but the young woman wasn't moving. Her eyes were flickering open and then closing again, she was drifting in and out of consciousness. "Andrew please, don't do this. Skye's not a threat to anyone; you don't need to hurt her."

Skye's eyes flickered open again and she looked over at May. May caught her gaze and looked her in the eyes. The young woman mouthed something to her SO. 'I love you'. She gave May an accepting smile and May's eyes widened. Time seemed to slow down for May as Lash lifted his hand and it began glowing blue again. He brought it down again and plunged it into Skye's chest.

"No!" May screamed as Lash's hand seared a hole in Skye's chest. The young woman's eye's slowly closed and May watched in horror as the life was sucked out of the woman who had become her daughter.

"Skye!" She screamed. A shot rang out from the ATCU agents and May watched as a bullet bounced off of Lash's skin. Several more rounds fired out and it was enough to transform Lash back to Andrew. May quickly pulled her icer out and fired. She watched as Andrew crumpled to the floor.

The gun fell from her hand and clattered to the floor as she sprinted over to Skye's lifeless form. She bent down next to the woman and hurriedly checked for a pulse. "No no no, please, no" May pulled the younger woman onto her lap and pressed her face into her chest. The sobs came and suddenly she was rocking Skye's body. She cradled Skye's head and held it against her chest.

May didn't know how long she stayed like that but suddenly she heard a gasp. Her eyes didn't even leave Skye's body. She heard someone bend down next to her and Coulson was there. His mouth was wide open in disbelief and she could see the tears on his cheeks.

"This can't be happening" he muttered "She can't be…"

Then another person was beside them. May saw Lincoln with his hand clamped over his mouth. "No, no, oh my god no" he mumbled. May lowered Skye's head and rested it on her lap. Lincoln caressed the young woman's cheek and slid a bit of her hair behind her ear. There were tears streaming down his face. Coulson was on his knees beside May. He was just staring at Skye speechlessly. Mack ran up to them and a quiet "Oh tremors" left his lips. Then they heard two pairs of footsteps sprinting towards them.

"No, no, this can't be happening" May heard the blonde's voice and her head snapped up.

"Bobbi-" May began

"No. Skye, Please, no" Bobbi fell to her knees beside Skye and May. She pulled the brunette's body onto her lap and held her tight. The blonde kissed her forehead and one of her tears slid down Skye's face. Bobbi tucked Skye's head into her chest and stroked her hair. "Please, Skye, don't do this to me, don't- don't leave me. I need you. P-please Skye, please" the blonde was choking on her own sobs.

Mack silently led Hunter and Lincoln away giving the others the space they needed. The trio didn't leave the room but stayed by the wall, just in case they were needed. Hunter didn't want to leave Bobbi, Lincoln didn't want to leave Skye, and Mack was really unsure of what to do.

A blood curdling scream left Bobbi's lips and she rested her chin on Skye's head. The scream died down and a heart wrenching cry replaced it. May was on her knees next to them, tears trickling down her face. Coulson had stood up and was currently standing over Skye and Bobbi, the hurt on his face was heart breaking.

Bobbi kissed Skye's forehead and stroked her cheek. Then suddenly she placed the young woman back on May's lap and stood up.

"Bobbi, what are you-" May was cut short as the blonde pulled out her gun. A shot rang out and everyone was left speechless as Bobbi emptied her mag in Andrew's skull. May wasn't even upset with the woman; she was surprised she hadn't done it herself.

She let out animal like moan as she broke down into tears again and began furiously kicking Andrew's side. Her expression changed from one of heart break and sadness to one of fury and hate. Hunter quickly moved over to the blonde and placed his hands on her shoulder. The kicks stopped and Bobbi's head slumped onto Hunter's shoulder.

"She's gone" she got out through her sobs "She's gone Hunter. I need her, I love her, she can't be gone"

"I know sweetheart, I know" Hunter said quietly as he rubbed her back.

Bobbi pulled out of his hold and got on her knees beside Skye again. May returned Skye's body to Bobbi's lap and the blonde held her tight, never wanting to let go. The blonde had one hand on the back of Skye's head and the other was on her lower back, as she held the woman against her chest.

May stood up and pulled Coulson away. The man allowed himself to be led away, but stared at Skye's body, still in shock.

They heard an incomprehensible shout come from Lincoln as he slammed his hands against the wall. He roared in anger as he began kicking the wall. Mack and Hunter were there instantly. They grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him away. He sagged and allowed them to drag him out. The trio left the room and slowly traipsed back onto the plane.

They were greeted by a very confused Fitz and Simmons.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" Fitz asked obliviously.

Mack's face dropped and Hunter just looked at them pitifully.

"What is it?" Simmons asked, her face dropping when she saw the intense sadness behind Lincoln's eyes.

None of the three men offered an answer.

"What the bloody hell is going on!?" Fitz asked

Still no answer

"Mack?" Fitz questioned

"Oh for god's sake, I'll just go see for myself" Simmons frowned as she jogged of the plane.

"Simmons, wait!" Hunter yelled after her, but it was too late.

Fitz followed behind her "Fitz, no!" Mack shouted.

Simmons walked into the warehouse and saw Coulson leaning against a wall with May next to him. She then spotted Bobbi with someone in her arms. She frowned in confusion and began walking towards them.

May heard her footsteps and spun around. "Simmons!" she called out "Simmons stop!"

But it was too late. Simmons stopped walking as she saw Skye's body in Bobbi's arms.

"Oh my god" she muttered before she ran over to them. Bobbi looked up at her and lowered Skye's face onto her lap. Simmons clapped a hand over her mouth and fell to her knees.

"No" she muttered "No, Skye, no" the sobs came and she placed a hand on Skye's face.

Then Fitz sprinted in. He stopped abruptly when he saw Jemma sobbing beside a body. He saw the long brown hair that came with that body and his eyes widened. May stepped in front of him and tried to stop him, but he just pushed past her and jogged towards Skye, Bobbi, and Simmons.

He got to his knees beside Jemma and tears started streaming down his face. He wrapped an arm around Jemma and looked at Skye in disbelief.

"She-she can't be- no- this can't be real- she…" he trailed off.

Simmons leant into him and buried her face in his chest. He placed his hand on the back of her head and rubbed her back as she sobbed.

Bobbi pulled Skye back into her chest and began rocking back and forth, her sobs returned as Jemma's grew louder. Then Mack and Hunter walked back into the warehouse, this time without Lincoln. They said something to May and Coulson, then Coulson walked out and May, Hunter, and Mack walked over to Skye, Bobbi, Fitz, and Simmons.

"Hey Bob" Hunter said as he bent down next to her and placed a hand on her back "I think it's time to let her go. We should-"

"No!" she shouted "I'm not leaving her!"

"Bobbi, please, we-" he tried again

"No! You're not taking her away from me!"

"We're not trying to, we just-" this time it was May who stopped him. The woman bent down in front of Bobbi and Skye. She stroked Skye's cheek and allowed a stray tear to make it's way down her cheek. Bobbi sniffed and looked up at the older woman.

"I know it hurts, trust me, I know that." May started "I love her like a daughter, and I will always love her, I know you will too, but you need to let her go Bobbi. It's what she'd want"

Bobbi shook her head "I promised her I'd never leave her"

"And you never did, you were always there for her" May told her

"I promised her I'd always protect her"

May fell silent at that, unsure of what to say in reply.

"I told her I'd always keep her safe" Bobbi murmured

"Look Bobbi, you can't blame yourself for this. When Trip died you made sure that Skye knew that it wasn't her fault, you need to do the same for yourself now" the older woman said

"But it is my fault. I should have been protecting her. We all knew that Lash was targeting inhumans; I should have kept her safe" the blonde told May. "She needed me, and I wasn't there"

"Bobbi, you've always been there for her, but-"

"But the one time she really needed me I wasn't there"

"There's nothing you could've done Bobbi" May said

"I love her so much" Bobbi's voice broke and she broke down into tears again.

"I know you do. I do too" May said as she moved beside Bobbi and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "She knew that. She knew that we all love her"

Bobbi nodded.

"Let's get back to the plane" May said.

"Okay" Bobbi said quietly. The blonde gently hooked an arm under Skye's legs and another under her head, and lifted her up. Hunter put a hand on Bobbi's back and walked with her towards the exit.

Simmons was still sobbing into Fitz's chest, so May bent down and took her hands. The older woman signalled to Mack, who came over and helped Fitz to his feet. He began to lead the Scotsman out but Fitz stopped. "No, wait, Jemma…"

"It's okay Fitz, I've got her" May told him.

The young engineer nodded then walked out with Mack's hand on his shoulder.

Simmons had her head buried in her arms and was sobbing uncontrollably. May sat down next to her and put an arm around her. Jemma leant into May's shoulder and slowly pulled her head out of her hands.

"She's dead May, Skye's dead" Simmons said quietly "How can she be dead? She can't be dead"

May didn't know what to say in reply, so she just tightened her hold on Simmons and tried to comfort her by holding her close.

May held Simmons and comforted her for 10 minutes before pulling back. She held her at arm's length and looked her in the eyes. "Come on, let's go back to the plane"

Simmons sniffed and nodded. May gave her a sympathetic smile and helped her to her feet.

Bobbi and Hunter walked onto the plane and walked towards the med bay. Hunter opened the door to one of the private rooms and Bobbi gently placed Skye on the bed. She pulled up a chair next to the bed and slumped into it.

"Hunter, can you give me some space, please" she requested.

Hunter nodded and kissed the top of her head before leaving the room.

Bobbi heard the door shut and broke down into tears again. She leant over and rested her elbows on the bed. She slipped her hand into Skye's and planted a kiss on it.

"I love you so much" The blonde murmured. She held Skye's hand close to her chest and cried some more
