The Miscellaneous Adventures of Team Bus

A Magic Trick

May heard a frustrated groan coming from the lab as she walked down the stairs. Curious as to what the problem was, she walked toward the lab and entered. "What's going on here?"

Simmons shot her a frustrated look. "I can't figure it out and neither can Fitz! We've spent the past hour like this and we can't figure out a solution."

May furrowed her brow as she looked at the pair standing behind one of the desks. "A solution to what? Have you guys been working on analyzing that new serum we found on the mission yesterday?"

"We were about to," Fitz started, "when another problem popped up."

"And that is?"

"Skye related," Fitz sighed.

"What did she do this time?" May asked, raising a hand to pinch the bridge of her nose.

"Well," Simmons started, "she said she had a magic trick to show us."

"Oh boy."

"And she won't give us the key," Simmons finished, raising her arm from behind the desk to show May that she was handcuffed to Fitz.

May groaned. "I'll go deal with it." She trudged up the stairs and saw Skye in the lounge. "Where's the key?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about, May. Do you need to see a doctor?" Skye asked, keeping her face straight as she scrolled on her tablet.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about."

Skye sighed. "Fine." She reached into her pocket and her eyes went wide. She withdrew her hand and started searching in other places.

"Uh oh," she said quietly as she looked around. She then spoke up. "We have a problem."

"You lost the key?" May said, unamused and unsurprised.

"I lost the key," Skye confirmed.
