Chapter 1

"Driver," Ward exclaims.

"Yes sir"

"I'm on the wrong bus…I guess I need to pay closer attention to things."

As Ward walks off the bus, Bobbi quickly stands up and follows him. She yells, "Wait! So that's it, you're just going to run away from your problems? What about Skye? You're just going to give up on her?"

"Don't you dare bring Skye into this!" Ward barks, turning around.

"Shouldn't I? You say you love her but now you are just going to run away and forget about her?"

By now they are beginning to draw a crowd.

"She hates me. Why would I stick around when she will not hesitate to imprison me in your basement again." Ward argues, saying the last part in disgust.

"You think she doesn't love you," Bobbi scoffs. "Wow, for a stand-up HYDRA agent you sure don't pay close enough attention to things."

"Now why do you say that?"

"Every time she went down to see you, she would come back close to tears. After Coulson sent you to your brother, Skye cried herself to sleep with pictures of you and her on her laptop. When you betrayed the team, you broke her. She hasn't been the same since," she says softly.

"How would you know that I broke her? You've only been with the team for a few weeks."

"Simmons told me. She isn't exactly fond of you. She said Skye used to be quirky and high-spirited. She was so eager to be at S.H.I.E.L.D. and she adored you. You confessed your feelings to each other at the safe house after HYDRA attacked. Then, she found out you were a HYDRA sleeper agent. She also said you almost killed her and Fitz," Bobbi explains, saying the word HYDRA with venom in her voice.

"That capsule was supposed to float," Ward gushes regretfully. He looks down so she wouldn't see the obvious tears in his eyes.

"I know," Bobbi replies, with a hint of understanding in her voice. Bobbi tried to take a step closer to him, thinking that she was getting through to him. Ward notices the move immediately and put his guard back up.

"No, I will not let you lure me in that easily. Tell Coulson I'm not that gullible," Ward shouts, taking a step back.

"Coulson doesn't know I'm here. I came here because Skye wanted me to give you this," Bobbi corrects. She hands him a small off-white envelope.

Cautiously, Ward grabs it. In Skye cursive-like handwriting, his name, "Grant" was printed on the front. Ward slowly opens up the envelope. A small paper falls out. He picks it up off the ground and turns it over. It says:

Just something that will hopefully

show you where you belong.

-Skye

Ward stares at the note, confused and astonished. He looks back inside the envelope. Inside lays a single photo. He pulls it out. As he glances at it, he laughs and shakes his head. The photo was a picture of Ward, Skye, and FitzSimmons cuddled up on the couch asleep after one of their infamous movie nights. Skye was draped over Ward with her head on his chest. His head was hanging in an uncomfortable position. FitzSimmons was hugging each other with a blanket covering both of them. Coulson had taken the photo a few weeks before the mission with Donnie Gill at the academy.

"Skye wants to give you a second chance, Ward," Bobbi proclaims wholeheartedly.

"Why would she, or any of the team for that matter, give me the time of day? Ward asks solemnly.

"At first, I didn't get why Skye would have this proposition either, but I can see it now. You obviously love the team so much. I saw it in your eyes when you looked at that photo. Plus, after reading your file and hearing stories from Skye, I realized that you are a good person. You just got led down the wrong path," Bobbi admits, leaving out another reason why she trusts him. She shifts her feet from side to side as if afraid of his reaction.

"Does anybody else on the team know about this besides you and Skye?"

"No. Just me and Skye"

"How can I earn my redemption if the rest of the team doesn't even know about you guys even offering me a second chance?"

"That is the interesting part. C'mon. I saw this cool-looking café about a block from here. We can talk there," Bobbi suggests, noticing the crowd drawn to them due to their arguing.

Bobbi begins to walk in the direction of the café, but Ward holds his arm out and stops her.

"Wait, before we go, can I know who I am going with?"

"Bobbi…Morse." Bobbi pauses, hesitantly. She curses in her head hoping he didn't notice.

"Alright Bobbi Morse. Let's go."

They walks to the small café silently.

Once they arrive and have gotten a table, they begin to discuss Skye and Bobbi's plan.

"So what is your plan?" Ward questions.

"Well, the rest of the team can't know you're there, so we came up with a plan that lets you help the team without them realizing it," Bobbi replies.

"How will I do—"

Before he could continue, a waitress came over to take their order.

"Hello guys. I am your waitress, Sarah. What can get you today?" Sarah asks enthusiastically with a smile on her face.

"I'll have some scrambled eggs with bacon and sausage. Oh, and a coffee would be great. Thanks," Bobbi says.

"And what about you, handsome?" Sarah inquires, touching Ward's arm flirtatiously.

Bobbi rolls her eyes.

"I'll have the pumpkin pancakes with pecan syrup," Ward answers nonchalantly.

"Do you want some blueberry muffins as well," Sarah asks, clearly not seeing that he wasn't interested.

"I think we're okay," Bobbi snaps, tired of the girl's failed attempts at flirting.

Startled, Sarah walks away quickly.

"What was that?" Ward smirks.

"She's obviously flirting with you. It was annoying." Bobbi mutters. "Besides, you're my friend's guy. I can't let another girl flirt with you. Now why pumpkin pancakes, Ward?"

"First of all, call me Grant and second of all, my Gran used to make the best pumpkin pancakes when I was little."

Bobbi froze, though Grant didn't seem to notice.

"My Gran used to make pumpkin pancakes too though I haven't had them since I was five because I moved," Bobbi admits.

"Cool. Anyway, what is you and Skye's genius plan?" Grant interrogates.

"Well, we were thinking that we would notify you of our missions and the location. You could either get there before us and do some damage control to make it easier for our team to complete our mission, or you could stay hidden and help us if one of us is in trouble with a sniper rifle or something." Bobbi exclaims proudly.

"I like that, but how will you notify me?"

Bobbi pulls something out of her pocket.

"Here's a sat phone that Skye erased from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mainframe so Coulson will have no idea." Bobbi elaborates, handing Ward the phone.

"I have to admit that it is a good plan."

Before Bobbi could reply, Sarah comes back with their food and Bobbi's coffee.

"Here are both of your pumpkin pancakes and your coffee," Sarah says. "Is there anything else I can get you guys?"

Sarah again tries to flirtatiously touch Ward's arm.

"No, I think we're fine. Thank you," Ward responds.

"Okay. Call me if you need anything." She winks and walks away.

"You have got to be kidding me," Bobbi groans.

"What?" Ward questions.

"She is so annoying. Can't she see that you aren't interested?" She complains.

"Why does it bother you so much?"

"Because I don't want to watch some girl to flirt with my brother!" Right after she finished she realizes what she said and quickly puts a hand over her mouth.

"Your what?"

"Nothing. Forget about it."

"You're hiding something. I can tell. First, you hesitated when you said your name."

Crap, Bobbi thinks. He noticed.

"Then, you get all defensive about Sarah. Now, you try to deny that you called me your brother. Tell me what you are hiding."

Bobbi sighs, knowing she has no choice but to explain.

"My name hasn't always been Bobbi Morse," Bobbi gulps. "When I was three and my youngest brother was born, my mother became abusive. She began to hit my older sister, my two older brothers, and I. My Grandma tried to keep her away from us by getting custody, but nobody in town believed that our mother would hurt us."

Recognition flashes in Ward's eyes.

"My older sister, Rose, and my eldest brother, Christian, decided that they needed to get me out since I was the youngest besides my younger brother, Tommy, who my mother adored. One day, they woke me up in the middle of the night and told me we were going somewhere nice. They packed me a bag of clothes and took me to a park a couple blocks from our house. When we got there, there was a nice couple waiting for me. Their names were Elena and David Morse. My sister and brother embraced me and told me to be good and walked away. From that day forward I was known as Barbara 'Bobbi' Morse.

"A couple months ago, I joined Coulson's team. I was told never to go into Vault D. No one told me why so I searched it up myself. It turns out it was you. Grant Douglas Ward. Killer. Traitor. Skye's creepy ex-boyfriend 'living' in our basement…my brother."

Ward sits there shocked, but he shows no emotion.

I can't believe she's alive, he thought.

Bobbi sits there with her head down, fiddling with her fingers.

"Are you going to say anything?" Bobbi asks.

"Why didn't you come and find me earlier?" he asks curiously.

"Because I didn't know if you would remember me or what your reaction would be if you did."

"Are you kidding me? I never stopped thinking about you or what could have happened if you were still alive," Grant's voice cracks. "What happens now?"

"Now. We work together to take down HYDRA and put our new family back together," Bobbi says with a smile on her face.

"I like the sound of that."

They spend the next few hours catching up. By the time they are finished, the sun has already sunk into the horizon. Bobbi looks at her watch.

"I have to get going if I want to get back into the base undetected," Bobbi says dejectedly. She really enjoyed catching up with her big brother.

"Yeah, I have to get going before S.H.I.E.L.D. finds out my location," Grant agrees, getting up. Bobbi follows.

"I'll contact you when we have a new mission." Bobbi looks down with tears in her eyes.

"Hey. We'll see each other soon. Hopefully it won't be because Coulson found me." Bobbi smiles. She suddenly pulls him into a hug.

"Be careful."

"Always am." Grant laughs. Bobbi joins in.

"Love you little sis," Grant announces one their laughter has died down.

"Love you too," Bobbi answers sincerely.

She walks away into the darkness. Grant sighs and walks in the opposite direction.

-A few hours later-

Bobbi enters into the base and walks into the common room where the res of the team is chatting and drinking beer.

Skye is in a heated discussion with Fitz about which computer is the best. Her head snaps up when she hears footsteps coming closer to the team. As she realizes it is Bobbi, she abruptly stands up and grabs Bobbi's arm, dragging her out of the room.

The rest of the team falls silent.

"What was that about?" Fitz questions.

"You can never tell with that girl," Mack says, referring to Skye.

Everyone shrugs and continues the conversations they were in before.

With Skye and Bobbi…

Skye drags Bobbi all the way to her bunk where they can't be disturbed.

"So what happened?" Skye interrogates right as the door slams shut.

"Well, he was skeptical at first. It took a while but he agreed with the plan when he realized that it wasn't one of Coulson's tricks," Bobbi answers truthfully.

Skye sighs in relief.

"Did you give him the envelope?"

"Yes, that is actually what convinced him."

Skye smiles.

"He loves you, you know," Bobbi says suddenly.

"How do you know that?"

"Well, first of all, he never would've agreed if he didn't." She chuckled, but stops as says seriously, "When I showed him the photo and note his eyes lit up. They showed such admiration and love."

"He could have been faking it."

"No one could fake those kind of emotions, not even him."

"Thank you for doing this for me."

"It wasn't a gave me a peace of mind on a lot of things," Bobbi says, thinking about reuniting with her brother.

Skye looks at her in confusion.

"Don't worry about it," Bobbi assures.

"I'm still going to say thank you. I couldn't have done it myself. May and Coulson watch me like hawks," Skye says jokingly a little bit about May and Coulson.

"They're just trying to protect you. You're like a daughter to them."

"I know. I'm just a little upset that I couldn't see Ward."

"I completely understand."

"I know you do. That's why I chose you to talk to Ward."

Skye hugs Bobbi who quickly reciprocates.

After a few moments, Bobbi lets go and stands up.

"I think I'm going to turn in for the night. It has been quite a day."

"Yeah. I probably will too."

Bobbi smiles and heads towards the door.

"Goodnight," Skye calls out.

"Night," was her reply.

Bobbi walks to her own bunk across the hall. When she walks inside, Hunter is there waiting on the edge of the bed.

"Haven't seen you all day. Where have you been?" Hunter asks, his British accent apparent with each word. He climbs into bed.

"Just on a personal errand," she answers, not going into specifics.

"You going to tell me what it was about?"

"Nope," Bobbi says, joining him under the covers.

"Figured as much," Hunter says, knowing that he and his ex-wife will always be keeping secrets from each other and he shouldn't expect anything else.

"I'll tell you one day, but not yet."

"I'll understand. I just want you to know that I'm here for you," Hunter says sincerely, turning to face her.

"I know."

"Goodnight, Bobbi."

"Goodnight, Hunter."
