Shocked into healing
SUMMARY:
AU starts at 1x08 and continues including 1x09. This is not a mayward story but is SKYEWARD. The story starts with Ward's rage being aimed at Syke which forces Syke to leave. The team must fight to get her back. Ward regrets his words and realises just how much his Rookie means to him.
CHAPTER ONE:
Skye knocked on Wards bunk with a cup of jasmine tea that she knew he liked.
"WHAT!" Skye flinched at Wards tone. She walked into his room with the tea but before she could move out of the doorway Ward stood up and stopped her.
"What are you doing here… traitor?" Ward hissed and Skye had to work hard for her tears not to fall because she knew it wasn't him talking but the after effects of the stick.
"I just brought you this and-"
"I don't want it. I don't want your shoulder and I certainly don't want you on this team… Why don't you just leave Skye no one wants you!" Skye quickly put the tea on his stand and started to walk out when something burnt her leg. She heard the cup drop to the flow. She hissed in pain but picked up the mug Ward had thrown and ran to her room.
Ward watched Skye run away with tears in her eye. He felt awful for hurting her physically and emotionally but he couldn't seem to control his mood. He knew what he felt was rage but he didn't know why he was being so mean to Skye. He didn't want to hurt her he wanted to protect her. He needs to push her away. He was broken from his thoughts when he heard Skye crying in her bunk which was right on the otherside of his. He wanted to go and hold her and apologise but he felt like an ass and thought she deserved her space.
On the otherside of the way Skye got out her phone and began to ring the one number that she had hacked the hub to find.
Yes?
Hello Fury
Ah Skye the criminal. What do you want?
To move teams. I think it would better the agency and I do not feel safe or welcome here
Why should I help you?
To better your agency and you can keep an eye on me. I know you believe I am an asset and it I was near you I could be your consultant and not AC'S.
If you want me to move you to the hub, you must tell me the real reasons Skye
Fine, Ward is dangerous, May yelled at me for joking around about how she slept with ward which by the way is horrible. I mean I offered to talk she offered sex. Anyway and Coulson keeps trying to redirect my searches for my parents.
OK
Okay?
Yes Skye. I may not have liked you but Hill has confidence in you. However I must ask you something.
Yes?
Does your team know you talk to me and Hill?
No
Keep it that way, We will collect you tomorrow. Be ready Skye.
After the call to Fury Skye felt both relieved and remorseful;
She was relieved because she won't keep getting her heart broken by Ward. She was however remorseful that she was leaving behind FitzSimmons. She had to say goodbye to them but she didn't know how.
Skye fell asleep crying. She was woken up with a knock to her door. She slid the door across and gasped as Ward was standing in front of her with his Mr. No-Fun agent face on.
"Dinners ready… You look awful" Ward mentally cursed himself at his words. What he meant to say was he knew she was crying. He wanted to ask if she was okay.
"Thanks Asshole" Skye pushed past him to go to the kitchen where FitzSimmons had saved her a seat in between them. Ward was shocked at Skye's ice cold demeanour. He had expected a punch on the arm or some sarcastic remark but he got the cold shoulder. He didn't realise until now just how much he had screwed up with Skye. What shocked him the most is when he walked into the kitchen Skye was not sat in her usual spot. Skye normal sat by him and Coulson but now she was in between the scientists. May was sat in Skye's normal seat which made Ward angry because his Rookie was supposed to be by him. Ward sat down by Fitz and May with a frown on his face.
All the team members had notice that Skye was quiet throughout the meal until Fitz dragged her into consciousness.
"Look. Shield has sent a viral message for all agents." Ward looked over at Skye as she gasped softly. No one else seemed to notice.
"Well read it out Fitz" Simmons squealed excitedly.
"It says that there is a new addition to a member of the hub's team and that it is one of the members of one of the three team out on field duty-"
"Oh my. That means it ours or jimmy or Ty's team…" Jemma Simmons whisper shouted. Skye smirked at her. She was so innocent.
"What does the hub team look like?" Skye questioned the scientists. But they shrugged as they didn't know either. Ward took it up on himself to answer her question he stepped around the island and pulled up an email. It was a picture of the team.
"It has the avengers, Fury, Hill and the new and improved team S.O Agent Jared Bray." Skye noticed how he hissed at Jared Bray's name. She looked at the picture of him and was delighted to see that her new S.O would be Good looking and completely opposite to Ward. He had blue eyes, Blond hair, and Massive muscles and tanned skin. He was ridiculously good looking.
"Wow!"
"Yes Skye we know, Avengers-"
"Not the Avengers you smart ass. Agent Bray is seriously hot!" Skye squealed which earned her the whole teams attention. Simmons started to laugh when Ward growled at Skye's comment. Ward had a felt jealous at Skye perception of Bray. Ward and Bray had a bad first meeting which resulted in broken bones on Ward's part and a scratch on Bray's.
"He is indeed Skye. It is shameful he is not on our team because if he was you and he could have some fun as you eloquently said you needed the other day." Skye fell off her chair laughing at Fitz's face as Simmons squealed the last part of her sentence out. FitzSimmons quickly pulled Skye up back on her chair. May, Ward and Coulson shared a look and agreed they needed to talk in his office. As they excused themselves Skye made a quick job of telling FitzSimmons that she was the agent that joining the main response team. This resulted with both Fitz and Simmons attacking her with hugs and asking why and when she was leaving. Skye explain about Ward, May and Coulson. When she finished her story she looked up and saw that Fitz looked angry and Simmons looked shocked. They both felt for Skye and believed that she was the better person for making the move.
Skye left Fitz and Simmons in their lab and began to train so that she would be too tired to train with Ward. This way she could avoid him. After half an hour of jab crosses Skye's knuckles began to bleed but she carried on until she heard Ward's voice at the top of the stairs.
"Skye! Stop You-" He was cut off by Skye's squeal of pain as she hit the punching bag one last time. When her hand collided with the bag a knuckle popped. Skye didn't bother to wait for Ward as she ran to the scientist's lab for help.
Simmons looked up from Fitz as Skye entered the lab with pain etched on her face. Simmons jumped up and grabbed Skye and pushed her on the chair. She started to investigate her hand as Ward stormed into the Lab.
"What the hell Skye. I train you, you should have waited for me." Skye just glared at Ward then looked back at Simmons.
"How bad?" Simmons smiled softly at Skye.
"Not as bad as I thought. I am surprised that it is not worse after an Hour of that punching thing!"
"An HOUR! HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID SKYE?" Ward yelled. He was worried about her yet he didn't want to show her how much because he believed caring for someone and loving someone like he loved Skye was a big weakness he couldn't afford.
"Screw you Grant, Sometimes I don't work hard enough and when I do it's too much. Well I'm done." Skye Kissed Simmons on the cheek and walked over to Fitz who she quickly pecked on the lips. She winked at Fitz as he turned red. Ward watched as Skye kissed Fitz, he felt his heart drop and jealousy fill him. Simmons laughed at Skye.
"You have to stop doing that to my boyfriend Skye…He always turns red"
BOYFRIEND…SIMMONS AND FITZ! AT LEAST ITS NOT FITZ AND SKYE. Ward thought.
Skye walked around Ward but before she could leave he grabbed her arm.
"You called me Grant…" He smiled softly but Skye was still mad.
"Oh I am so sorry AGENT Ward." Then she stormed off to her bunk and locked the door so no one could follow her.
That night Ward broke off the benefit deal with May and stayed in his own bunk thinking about Skye. Skye was in her room thinking about Ward and how mad she was at him. She knew that she loved him but she couldn't wait to leave tomorrow.
