Jemma shifted so she could look down at Skye leaning against her. With her opposite arm she reached over and patted Skye lightly and chuckled with the new nickname. “I concur. It certainly makes being here more stressful. Last time we knew what we were up against. And this time it feels more like an unseen enemy. We’re lucky to have you checking up for us.” Jemma couldn’t help the weary sigh that escaped. “It different here. The team more spread out. But these students are so excited to be here. You should see their faces when I talk to them. It’s hard not to feel optimistic about Shield’s future.”
“It literally feels like we’re up against Waldo. Good thing he can be busted with a genetic algorithm,” she shrugged nonchalantly, though her smile conveyed pride at what Jemma’d said about being lucky. Being useful had always felt good, even if she didn’t particularly need that kind of validation. “I’m pretty sure their faces are like that because you’re talking to them, but it’s whatever. They’ll do great things. Blow up some stuff, build some stuff, leak some stuff. We’re in good hands.” Having reverted her attention back to the movie, Skye only lasted ten seconds before she turned to Jemma again. It wasn’t as if she was interrupting anything important by talking over the sound of explosions and badly delivered catchphrases, anyway. “This is underwhelming.”
