Chapter Forty Three The Raid
Skye turned around and iced two agents. Then she turned the other way and iced another. Then she ran towards ten agents that had pinned Ward down and were punching him. She put out her hand and blew them all back. They hit the wall and knocked out. She helped Ward up and looked at a giant scar bleeding down his face.
"You okay?" Skye asked.
Ward nodded and held his ribs.
"You know, you look extra handsome when you're all scarred up," Skye said.
Ward smiled down at her. "You look extra beautiful when you're surrounded by agents and need my help."
"Oh that never happens!" Skye laughed.
"It happens all the time, damsel in distress," Ward joked.
"Oh yeah?!" Skye asked. "Who was just on the floor getting their butt kicked and needed my help?!"
Ward looked down at her. "Shut up."
"Make me," Skye replied with a smile.
Ward grinned, leaned in, and kissed her. Skye smiled. Then they walked back to the jet and flew home. After Simmons cleaned and stitched Ward's wounds, Skye and Ward went to their bedroom.
"Ugh I'm exhausted from the mission," Skye said as she got in bed. "I'm gonna take a nap."
"Have fun. I'm gonna go to the gym," Ward replied.
"Aww it's kind of cold over here," Skye hinted. "Can't you go work out later? It's not like you need to."
Ward grinned at her. "Fine."
He walked over to the bed and lifted up the covers. He laid down beside her as she curled up next to him. He gently put his arm around her. A minute later she was asleep. Ward looked down at his wife. She's so beautiful. Then she shivered. He gently warmed her up with his powers. Soon he was asleep too.
❃
Two hours later Coulson burst through their door.
"YOU GUYS!" Coulson yelled.
"Aahh!" Skye and Ward both yelled and shot upwards in bed. Then they realized who it was and laid back down.
"Dude," Skye said while rubbing her eyes.
"You can't just barge through our door!" Ward exclaimed.
"I didn't know where you were and besides I need you," Coulson said. "Dude," he added and looked at Skye.
Skye glared at him.
"Just because you're married now, doesn't mean you can just take a break whenever you want," Coulson went on.
Skye and Ward sighed.
"Okay," Skye said. "Just don't come barging in here again. We need privacy."
Coulson nodded. "Okay. Get up. Meet me in my office in five." He closed the door and left.
Skye looked at Ward. "I can't get up."
"Hmmm," Ward said. "Maybe this will help."
He started tickling her. She started laughing and squirming around.
"Ward stop! Stop!" She laughed.
❃
"You're late!" Coulson scolded as they walked in.
"Sorry sir," they apologized.
"Okay," Coulson said and showed them a map on the big screen. "This is a Hydra base. I want you two to raid it."
They both groaned inside. We just raided a base!
"Okay," they replied tiredly.
"Hey whatever happened to that shiny box?" Skye asked.
"Nothing!" He replied quickly.
Skye and Ward looked at him weirdly.
"I mean nothing," Coulson said. "I locked it up."
"Okay," Skye replied and left with Ward.
❃
"Did you think that was weird?" Skye asked as Ward flew the jet.
She was in the co pilot's seat with her feet up on the dashboard.
"Did I think what was weird?" Ward asked.
"That Coulson was so quick to answer about that box," Skye replied. "It was pretty memorizing. Do you think it put him in a trance?"
Ward laughed. "You need to stop watching crazy mystery stories on Netflix before bed."
Skye hit him playfully. "It was one time!"
"Yeah," Ward replied. "One time. You watched a scary mystery episode on Netflix before you went to bed and then you woke me up screaming and pointing that their was a zombie in our room."
Skye laughed. "Hey I had just watched a really scary episode!"
Ward laughed too. They had a moment of silence. Soon Ward landed the plane and they snuck into the base. They ran down a hallway and around the corner. Skye made two guards fly back as Ward took on two.
"Want to split up?" Skye asked.
"Sure," Ward replied. "It doesn't seem like there's that many agents."
Skye ran down another hallway and rounded a corner. She ran straight into 15 guards with guns pointed at them. She turned around to see 15 more on their other side. Did they know we were coming?
Before she could do anything, two black things flew into the air. They went straight for Skye and wrapped around her hands. They were the gloves. "They are new and improved," one of the Hydra agents said. "You can't break through these."
Skye felt the uncomfortable gloves. They were tight. Then they iced her. They ruffly picked up her body and carried her to a cell. They threw her in a cell and slammed the door shut.
❃
Ward walked around the corner and shot two guards.
"Skye?" He asked into his comp. "Skye come in."
Nothing. Just silence.
He sighed, worried. He rounded the corner and took out five guards.
"Skye!" He called into the comp.
Nothing.
He rounded another corner and punched a guard in the face then another guard tackled him but Ward threw him to the ground. He flipped another one over and twisted another one's arm. I'm coming Skye.
❃
Fifteen guards later, Ward rounded the corner to see the lead Hydra agent waiting for him. He could tell he was the leader because he was wearing different clothing and had a bigger Hydra symbol on his jacket. He also had a pin that said "General". Ward lunged toward the leader but he dodged him and Ward crashed to the ground. Then he twisted Ward's arm as he cried out in pain. Then Ward burned the leader's hand with his powers as the leader let go of him, frantically screaming in pain. Ward took his chance and leaped up. He flipped the Hydra agent over and kicked him in the head. He was knocked out. Ward sighed, out of breath. Then he walked down the hallway and found a door that said "Interrogation Room". Ward grinned and opened the door. He looked in to see an immediate drop. The floor dropped down to a little dungeon where Skye was sitting. The room was pitch black, so when Ward opened the door a bunch of light flooded in. Skye started squinting and looked up at Ward.
"Well look who it is," Ward said and grinned down at Skye.
Skye slowly climbed to her feet as Ward reached down his hand and grabbed her's.
"Come here, you." He said and pulled her up towards him. He wrapped his arm around her waist to keep her from falling back in. Then he closed the door to the cell. He looked down at Skye before pulling her head towards his and kissing her. Once they stopped Ward looked down at her and grabbed her hands, feeling her gloves.
"Who's the better agent now?" He asked with a smirk.
"Shut up," Skye replied. "They improved the gloves. I can't break through them."
"Well I think I can help you with that," Ward said and pulled out a key.
He had grabbed it from the Hydra Leader's pocket. He unlocked her gloves and took them off.
"We'll have Simmons examine them and see what their made off. Maybe we can train you to break through it," Ward said.
Skye smiled. "Thanks. And just because I got captured and you had to rescue me doesn't make you the better agent. I had thirty guards surrounding me! And the gloves flew on out of nowhere!"
"Right....." Ward joked.
Skye punched him playfully. "It's true!"
He grabbed her and tickled her. He slowly stopped and they looked at each other, their foreheads touching.
"I took out all the agents," Ward said. "Let's go home."
Skye nodded and they walked hand in hand out of the base.
❃
Ward sat on the couch back at the base. He was looking something up on Skye's laptop. Then Skye walked by. He closed the laptop and set it on the table.
"Skye come here," he said.
She smiled and came over to him. She sat on his lap and snuggled up under his chin.
Ward smiled. "You cuddle bug."
Skye smiled back. Then Coulson walked in. He couldn't help but smile at them.
"Awww," he said. "You guys are so cute."
Then he snapped back into reality. "Okay. I need you two to go on a mission."
He sat down on a chair across from them as Skye sat up and looked at him.
"What kind?" She asked.
"You need to go undercover," he answered.
"Oh this'll be fun," Ward replied sarcastically.
"I actually think it will," Coulson said. "You two don't need to change anything. Just act normal. You have to be a just married couple who is in Florida on your honeymoon."
Ward grinned at the thought.
"That's where this huge Hydra agent is by the name of Dean Winster. You need to spy on him and see what he is planning and organizing. Then take him out."
"Yes sir!" Ward exclaimed, clearly happy.
"Now this isn't going to be a vacation!" Coulson reminded. "It's a mission.
Skye and Ward both nodded.
"Alright," Coulson said. "You leave in a week."
Then he left. Skye and Ward looked at each other.
"We get to go on vacation!" Skye squealed.
Ward laughed and hugged her.
