Skye turned and shot three Hydra agents. She turned and watched Ward shoot two. They were taking down the last Hydra base. It had barely any agents. They pretty much destroyed Hydra. There were still agents surrounding them. Skye and Ward went back to back. They turned and shot four guards and then turned and shot another four. Then they turned in a circle and Skye used her powers to throw back the rest. They slammed against the wall and passed out.
"Ok," Skye said into her comp. "All clear."
"Good job," Coulson replied. "Go ahead and come back to the base."
Ward sighed and looked around. "How do we get out of here again?"
Skye looked around. "I think it's his way."
They walked down the hallway and around the corner.
"I still can't believe Coulson is letting us go on a mission alone."
"He knows we make a good team," Skye replied. "With your skills and my powers."
"You know, you have skills too," Ward replied. "You're not that scared girl I met in that van two years ago."
Skye sighed and looked down. "A lot of stuff happened while you were gone. It's made the whole team stronger."
"Hey," Ward said and held Skye's hand. "Well I'm back now. You don't always have to be strong. You can fall back on someone now."
Skye sighed and smiled. "Unfortunately it's not that easy. The team will never be the same again, and there's nothing you can do to fix it."
"So they'll never fully except me?" Ward asked sadly.
Skye sighed and leaned her head against Ward's arm. Their hands were still locked together. "I'm afraid not. But you never know."
They walked out of the Shield base and into a Quinn jet. Ward sat down and started the jet. Skye sat in the co-pilots seat.
"Hey Skye," Ward said, while thinking. "Do you want to be a specialist?"
Skye looked at him, surprised he was asking her this. "Uh, I don't know I've never really thought about that before."
"Because I can teach you," Ward went on.
"I don't know," Skye replied. "I thought just being a field agent was enough."
"Well when being a specialist you can be a field agent, but you can also know how to work computers, how to fly planes and drive vehicles, you can know six different languages, how to be an S.O to other agents."
Skye sighed. "I'll think about it. Let's get back to the Shield base."
"You're pretty much half way there!" Ward continued. "You are already a field agent, you know more than the basic computer skills, and you can obviously drive vehicles. So all you really need to know are the different languages, and how to fly a plane."
"So you're saying?" Skye asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I could teach you how to fly a plane right now," Ward answered.
Skye sighed.

❃

"Ok!" Ward announced as Skye sat in the pilots seat and held onto the handle. She was sweating.
"I don't know if I can do this," she said, gripping onto the handle tightly.
"Skye," Ward said. "We haven't even got up into the air yet."
Skye opened her eyes. "Oh."
Ward stood behind her and reached his arms over her head. He put his hands on her hands.
He flipped a couple switches and directed Skye's hands to point the handle up. The plane started to go upwards. Skye started to breath harder.
"I can't do this!" She yelled.
She wriggled out of Ward's grip and stormed out of the cot. Ward immediately took control of the plane and put it back on the ground. Then he ran after Skye.
"Skye, Skye wait!" He called. He grabbed Skye's hand and stopped her.
"What?" She asked. "Ward you need to start the plane we have to get back to-"
"Skye I'm sorry for pushing you too hard," Ward apologized.
"I'm sorry for running away," Skye said.
Ward looked at her confused.
"It's just," Skye went on. "I don't like to be in control of people's lives. And flying a plane with people in it could make me in charge of their lives."
Ward smiled. "There's something else."
Skye sighed. "What if I shake the plane?"
Ward wanted to chuckle but held it in. He wrapped his arms around her. "Skye, you're not gonna shake the plane. But if you want, I'll fly the plane."
"Thank you," Skye replied. She kissed him on the cheek.

"What'd you guys do, stop for lunch?!" Coulson asked as Skye and Ward came into his office.
"Long story," Skye answered.
"It better be good," Coulson replied. "Ward you can go relax I'm giving you a day off. Skye, don't go anywhere I need you on our next mission."
"What are we doing?" Skye asked.
"We need to go and investigate this area," Coulson answered. "We spotted something unusual. I want to go check it out. I'll need another field agent besides me in case it's a trap."
"Ok," Skye replied. "Where's Bobbi, May, and Hunter gonna be?"
"They are going on a separate mission. They are going to check out if this abandoned building is really abandoned. We want to use it for a second Shield base. Fitzsimmons are staying here."
"Cool," Skye replied.
Once her and Ward were alone, Skye sighed and held Ward's hand.
"I'm sorry that you are gonna be alone with people who hate you," Skye said.
"Yeah, Fitzsimmons are gonna love that I'm here with them," Ward replied. Then he thought for a second. "People should start calling us Skyeward."
Skye looked at him before bursting out into laughter. "Nobody's gonna call us that."
"Coulson will," Ward replied. "He ships us. I mean, that would be our ship name, wouldn't it?"
Skye sighed and leaned her head into Ward's shoulder. "Yeah, that would be our ship name."
Then Hunter walked up. "Skye, Coulson says to get ready. You guys are leaving in five minutes."
"Ok," Skye replied.
Then Hunter left.
Ward turned and faced Skye. "Be careful. I don't want you falling into a trap."
Skye laughed and took hold of the tips of Ward's jacket. "I'll be with Coulson, I'll be fine. You be careful too. Fitzsimmons could pull something on you. I don't want you to fall into a trap."
Ward laughed. But then he became serious again. "Skye I mean it. I want to see you again."
Skye smiled. "I will."
Ward leaned in and kissed her. Skye put her hand on the back of his head.
"Ehem," Coulson grunted.
Skye turned around and looked at Coulson.
"You ready?" He asked. He was trying not to break into a smile, but Skye and Ward both noticed.
Skye nodded and left Ward looking back at her longingly. She smiled as her and Coulson walked down the hallway.

❃

"So you and Ward are really something," Coulson said as he sat in the car. Skye was driving, obviously. Coulson couldn't drive with half his arm missing.
Skye bit her lip and blushed. She didn't look at him but kept looking at the road. "Yeah. We're just dating."
Coulson tried not to smile but the smile escaped. "You're really cute. But you can't let that get in front of Shield. Fitzsimmons already hate him. Imagine if they found out you were in love!"
"I know," Skye replied. "Why do you think I've been keeping it a secret?!"
Coulson smiled at her. "I know. Just make sure you remember, Shield is very important."
Skye smiled and looked out the window.

Simmons tucked the icer in the back of her jeans and behind her shirt. It's just me and Ward. Everyone is gone. Well, except for Mac and Fitz but they could care less about Ward.
She looked on the tablet that showed who was in the base. Mac and Fitz are obviously playing video games so the person walking towards me has to be Ward. She walked out into the hallway and saw Ward coming.
"Ward!" She exclaimed. She needed him close to get a good shot, she wasn't a field agent.
Ward looked at her, surprised. "Yes?"
"I was thinking," Simmons continued. "I should give you a second chance just like Skye did. You were my teammate, and now you are my teammate."
Ward walked up to her. Something's wrong.
Simmons started to take the icer out.
"Great!" Ward replied. "Can I have a hug?"
Simmons looked at him, her face mixed with disgust and anxiety. But she had to give in. Besides, Ward was already wrapping his arms around her. "Sure," she said and hugged him. He's gonna get the icer!
Ward pulled the icer from Simmons and looked at her. "Simmons, this is offensive! I mean, come on, I'm a specialist! You really didn't think I could get that from you? I mean, just ask Skye! She knows. I got a gun from her just by hugging her too! Now," Ward said and looked at Simmons, as if reading her. "What were you trying to do?"
WHAM.
Ward looked at Simmons before falling forward. She leaped back so he wouldn't fall on her. He was knocked out.
"Your welcome," said a voice.
Simmons looked up to see Fitz holding an icer. He had iced Ward, and saved Simmons.

"Are you sure this is where the computer saw the weird stuff?" Skye asked. They were looking around and old office building.
"Yup," Coulson replied. "This is the place."
Skye looked down at some glass on the floor.
"Coulson come look at this."
Coulson walked over. "What?"
They both peered down at the glass. It had red stuff on it, it looked like......blood.
Skye scraped some blood on to her finger. It was wet. "Coulson this is fresh."
"That's strange. The computer beeped about this hours ago," Coulson stated. "So whatever happened here...."
"Never left," Skye finished, and looked up horribly. She looked at Coulson. Then they heard a noise, like somebody stepping on glass. They both whipped around, Skye's hair flowing dramatically. They looked at the shadows, where the noise came from, and could make out a body figure.
"Did you forget about me, Skye?" The person asked. He had a deeper voice, so it has to be a guy.
"What?!" Skye asked. "Who are you?!"
Then, there was a trickle of lighting through the guy's fingers. Coulson and Skye both pulled out guns.
Skye looked at him. Lincoln.

❃

"What are you going to do with him?!" Fitz asked.
"Something wonderful," Simmons replied, with an evil smile. She laid him down in this chair and locked his arms down. He wasn't wearing a shirt.
"Why is he shirtless?!" Fitz asked, his voice getting louder. "What are you doing?! What's going on?!"
"You want him dead, right?" Simmons asked and glared at Fitz.
"Well, he did kind of... try to kill us," Fitz stated. "But he's turning good now."
"Fitz," Simmons said. "He's playing us. He's gonna hurt us sooner or later I just know it! We need to protect Skye. Coulson said that she has to constantly be watching him so you know what that means? She's always with him. He'll kill her off first."
Fitz sighed. "You're right."
Simmons put a needle in his vein and took some blood. Then she did it to the other arm.
Ward groaned and started to move.
"He's waking up," Fitz said. "I'm gonna leave."
Fitz left the room. Ward slowly looked around. He moved his arms but realized he was strapped down to the chair. He also realized he didn't have a shirt on. He looked at Simmons alarmingly.
"Simmons?! What's going on?!"
Simmons snickered cruelly at him. "You'll see."
"Where's Skye?! Where's the team?!"
Simmons laughed. "They can't save you now. It's just me and you, Ward."

❃

"YOU ABANDONED ME!" Lincoln yelled, the lightning crawling up his arm.
"We did not," Skye said calmly. "We put you back with the Inhumans, where you wanted to be. You even requested it."
"I THOUGHT YOU CARED!" Lincoln continued. "I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!"
"What do you mean?!" Skye asked, confused.
"I thought if you truly cared for me, you would have come back," Lincoln explained. "You wouldn't have left me at that dump."
"What happened?" Skye asked softly.
"All the Inhumans scattered," Lincoln went on. "I went here because I knew if I made commotion, Shield would come looking. I shattered glass and broke walls, but unfortunately, the glass flew back and cut me." He pointed to a scar on his face. "That's why there is blood on the glass."
Coulson leaned in and said to Skye, "told you it was a trap."
Lincoln sighed with tears in his eyes. "I thought you would've come back for me! But no, you gave me up for, HIM!" Lincoln glared at Coulson and thrusted out his hand. Lightning came soaring out of it, and it hit Coulson in the chest.
"COULSON!" Skye yelled. "NOOOO!"
Coulson flew back and crashed to the floor. Skye looked at Lincoln and got her aim. She thrashed her hands out at him as seismic waves flew out of her. Lincoln went flying back and hit the wall.

"Simmons," Ward said in a weak voice. "What are you doing?"
"Doing the right thing," she replied.
The two needles were still in his arms, but she had added two more to his upper arms and two more to two veins in each of his legs. It didn't hurt as much as it made him weaker.
"But if you want to know exactly what I'm doing," Simmons went on. "Then I'm adding needles to your body so I can get the pain medicine in."
"You're giving me.....pain medicine?!" Ward asked.
"Yes," Simmons replied. "I want you to survive the process."
"Why?!" Ward asked, deeply confused.
"Because then Coulson will have to kill you," Simmons answered. Then she leaned in closer to him so he was paying attention to her. "Ward, if you survive this, you will become a dangerous nightmare. Coulson will have to put you down."
