The black door in the back of the room. Skye stared at it everyday that she was in that room. She had never been past that door. She had no idea what was behind it. Every time anyone brought it up, Coulson would dismiss it as though the question wasn't asked. Skye was dying to know what was behind that door.

It had been 2 years since the fall of SHIELD. Skye had come to the team last year. She was not there at the time that everything went down. She was still in training at the academy. Anything that had happened to the team she joined, that was only in the minds of the people involved and of course, Director Fury. Or rather, Ex-Director Fury. Agent Coulson had become director after the fall of SHIELD. He was hesitant to let anyone on the team after all that had happened, especially Skye, she was an ex-hacker/con. He took a chance anyways, which was unheard of these days. He must have saw something in her, that drew him to trust her.

At the moment, The team was working on a case that involved one of those weird non-human things, as Skye called them. Everyone tried to explain to her what the real name of them was, but she wasn't paying any attention.

They were following a lead. It was midnight on a friday night, everyone had decided to turn in.

"Goodnight Skye." Trip stated, walking backwards. He ran into a support pole and fell down.

Laughing Skye stated, "Goodnight Trip."

"Well, goodnight Skye. You have a good night and weekend." The science twins stated. At the same time, that was weird. Sometimes, Skye thought that those two were the weird non-human things. She hasn't quite figured them out yet though.

She smiled tentatively, "Goodnight guys."

Skye was alone with her thoughts now. These were the times that made her miss her van. The coziness, the tight spots. Some people are claustrophobic, not Skye. She'd rather be in a tight place, in fact when she is out in the open it's hard for her to breathe sometimes. Skye looked up from her phone and that door came into sight. The forbidden door. "What is in that door?" Skye thought to herself. She decided to figure it out. That door had been mocking her since the day she walked through the hatch of the BUS.

Before she could stop herself, she looked around and walked up to it. She sized it up, it was actually smaller than it looked from a distance. Again, she looked around behind her to see if she saw anyone or anything, then she slowly opened the door.

There was a staircase, with a light at the bottom of it. It took all the courage that she had in her, to climb down those stairs.

When she got to the end, she froze. There was nothing. there was a single light on the ceiling and then a holo-wall. It wasn't clear, it was black. You couldn't see what was behind it. Skye turned around and looked behind her. Then she started towards the wall. She had to find the button that would make that wall see-through.

Skye started moving around and looking around. She finally found a button on the opposite wall. She was hesitant to push it, but she did anyways.


The wall cleared to reveal a room. There was a cot, a sink, and a toilet. That's it. It was a prison cell. It was occupied though. There was a tall guy standing in the middle of the room. He black hair and a black go-tee. He was dressed in gray prison clothes. Skye moved slowly towards the clear wall. The guy stayed quiet and just stared at her.

After what felt like forever, he finally spoke, "Your name?"

Skye stayed quiet. She didn't know what to do or say. Coulson is obviously trying to keep this guy hidden, "Who are you?"

"I believe I asked you first." He stated.

"Yes, but see there's a difference here. You are in prison and I don't know why. So, I will not hand over my name."

The guy just stared at her for awhile, before he answered, "My name is Ward. Grant Ward. I'm surprised Coulson hasn't explained that to you. In fact, I'm surprised you are even allowed down here." Ward saw the expression she made when he mentioned the word allowed. He smiled, "Ohh. You aren't are you?"

What this guy didn't know is that Skye had heard that name before. She was trying to figure out where though. Then it came to her, "You are the best spy to ever live!"

Ward just stared at her, "Huh?"

Skye pointed at him, "Yes. I heard about you at the academy. You can shoot a guy without even looking and hit him. You can disable anything that you get your hands on AND you can hide anywhere and not be seen. We are taught your skills at operations!"

Ward crossed his arms, he just stared at her dumbfounded.

"So," Skye started, pulling up a chair, "What did you do?"

"You really shouldn't be down here." Ward stated, pulling up his chair.

"You let me worry about that, Ward."

Again Ward just stared at this girl. He took her in. Her long brown hair, her her brown eyes. Along with the color, Ward saw something in her eyes that he once had. Dedication and determination. This girl had the dedication and determination it takes to become a SHIELD agent. He missed it. He wished that he could show the team that he wasn't the guy that they knew a few months ago. He's done everything they asked. He gave up all HYDRA information to them, including bases and protocols. With HYDRA there was really only one protocol, shoot.

Ward heard something that pulled him out of his thoughts. It was Skye, she was staring at him, "What did you do to get in here?"

"You don't need to know that."

"I'll just find out." She stated, challenge in her eyes.

"No you won't." Ward crossed his arms and had a smirk on his face.

"And why won't I."

"Because in order for you to find out, that would mean that you would have to ask Coulson. And if you asked Coulson, then he would know that you were down here, which you are not supposed to."

"Wow….you're good."

"Afterall, I am the best spy at operations."

Skye laughed.

"You know I could help you become a better agent." Ward stated.

"And what makes you think I am not a good agent. I was top of my class thank you very much."

"Knowing the stuff is one thing, practicing it is another. Plus, you are down here, that's against the rules."

Skye stared at him, "I don't know. I have no idea who you are."

"You do from the academy. That's the only person you need to know." He smiled.

She stared at him for a good few minutes, before answering, "Okay. I guess it will be fun. And I have no idea what you did, so let's keep it that way, k?"

"Hey I'm down for that. Oh one thing before you go, there are security cameras in every corner of this room, might want to fix the footage."

She should have thought of that. Skye's eyes got big, "Thanks!" She stated as she ran up the stairs to fix the footage.
