When Gordon first appeared at the cabin and invited Skye to join them, she refused, because somewhere deep down, she still believed she was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. And when she later chose to accept the invitation and leave with Gordon, it was more out of a desire to escape reality. At the time, she never could have imagined that "Afterlife" would become a home where she felt so safe, one she came to rely on so heavily. And Jiaying—though Skye had always thought she was a good person, she still could not help being stunned when she learned her true identity.
Well, perhaps it was best to start from the beginning.
About a week ago, on the very night that the huge blue Kree came to the cabin where she was being isolated, a man with no eyes knocked on her door. He called himself Gordon and said he was one of her kind—an Inhuman. He had come to take her to his companions.
For a moment, the offer was indeed tempting, but Skye still refused. As mentioned before, deep down she still believed she was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Besides, even if no mother had taught her when she was little, she knew getting into a stranger's car was not a good habit, especially when the stranger was a man with no eyes.
Gordon did not mind in the slightest. He turned and left, only saying that he would give her time to think. He also promised that if she changed her mind, she only needed to call Gordon's name, and he would arrive in time.
What Skye had never expected was that she would change her mind so quickly.
Confined in a cabin buried deep in the mountains, she did not know the exact details.
