( if anyone ever asks her, it was totally intentional. in the future where skye goes home and gets to brag to anyone she ever meets within the confines of the bus or the playground or the hub or wherever, she will one hundred percent tell them that she intentionally played dumb in order to have steven grant rogers pass her a set of weights. she will, however, be one hundred percent lying — because she hadn't had a damn clue who she was asking to do anything at the time.
isn't fate funny like that?
she'd been too distracted by the music pumping through her headphones to look up at whatever human being happened to be in the vicinity. she'd just called out under the presumption that, whoever they were, they'd help — and, naturally, they had, because people were predictable like that. it's only the sudden bass of a response that earns her attention upwards... to discover the gently perspiring face of one all too recognizable super soldier.
jaw, meet floor. maybe not literally, but close enough. )
The... fifty pound one? ( can she lift fifty pound weights? she doesn't know. honestly, she's just saying words that seem like they go together right now. ) Yeah, fifty pounds, totally.
( she's going to die, probably. right here on the gym floor. )
