[She looked up at the woman still, chin resting there as casual as can be. Skye had tried to be the casual one when this started, now she felt mildly amused at the agitations.]
[her point was a valid one though. Kara had considered that, often enough. Lay awake and wonder what the big plan was. What Ward would want with her in the end. She had talents enough, and the mask. She felt she was valuable enough in those regards.]
[So far he had yet to -ask- for anything. Just helped her because she helped him.] Have you ever played with a mistreated animal? One that has been caged and forced to follow orders, attack or else? When that animal is free they do what they want. Maybe you helped heal it's wounds, but it doesn't forget the bad things. It might be loyal to you for the help and help you out when you need it too.
The thing to remember is that animal now knows freedom and refuses to be caged again. It knows you as the one who helped, and it knows you can help it get farther in life. Maybe some day he will turn on you. Maybe he's just using you to get what he wants, but so long as you know this, things are good.
[she shrugged at that, picking up her fork again and poking at her egg. What she said could be really he applied to either she or Ward]
Honestly, I'm fine with it, if all Ward needs is my talents. He deserves that much for all he's done for me. [So long as he stays. She isn't sure what to do on her own...]
