"Don't even joke about going missing for longer," Skye said as she let go of Steph and stepped back to let the other woman enter the apartment. There weren't many who knew just how much Skye still struggled with her fear of being abandoned, she didn't trust many with that sort of information but Steph was one of them. She knew her friend was only teasing but right then Skye really didn't feel up to joking around, her emotions were a little too raw and she was struggling with the idea that she might not see the other people she cared about for a really long time.
Skye honestly counted Steph as one of her best friends, she'd liked her the moment they'd met and from that a strong bond had formed, one that had led to Skye being offered a position as an Avenger. If the offer had come from anyone else then she probably wouldn't have accepted but when Captain America herself asked, well she hadn't been able to say no.
"But I almost did, if I hadn't have ended up here I would have thought... well I don't know what I would have thought." Skye shrugged slightly as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "This feels like the end of the line, Steph. So... what do we do?" She really hoped her friend had some idea of what they were supposed to do because Skye had no clue and she would start to unravel quickly if she didn't have something to focus on other than how lost she felt.
