Hey everyone! So here's my new Skimmons fic. It still follows along the actual story line of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (with a tiny little bit of liberty taken by me for obvious Skimmons reasons). So yes, Ward is still going to end up evil, and once this story moves past the Season 1 finale I definitely get to take many more liberties with this story as I want. Anyways, as always R&R and enjoy!

Skye's POV
This was going to be weird. She was now leaving her simple hacker life in her van behind. Now she was working with an organization she, only just a few days ago, was against. She was against their tactics and what they stood for. But I guess now was a good a time as any to give them a chance. They had more than proven themselves to her and as far as she knew she had proven herself to them. Well at least to Agent Coulson. If anything, this was going to be good for her, the amount of resources she would have at her fingertips would be more than useful to her.
She bent over the seat in her van packing up the last few things she owned in a box. It was kind of sad that that box contained her entire life, but it was the life she knew, the life she became accustomed to. Throwing her two bags over her arms she picked the box up, giving her van one last look, the only home she's known for the past two years. It was kind of ironic – trading one mobile home for another, but instead of her feet being planted firmly on the ground they would be 35,000 feet in the air. She was shaken out of her thoughts by someone coming by, more than likely to take her vehicle away. "No joy rides, it's my home." She quipped, looking as he placed something on the windshield, starting up the vehicle "Where do they come up with this stuff?"
She made her way up the ramp of the plane, looking at her surroundings, not really sure where she was heading. Out of nowhere two, very enthusiastic, people greeted her. She could tell that they were both nervous, but excited. She had only met them briefly before, but she had remembered their names. It was Fitz and Simmons, the very nerdy scientists. Well not really nerdy, more like super geniuses. Apparently though, everyone else called them 'Fitzsimons's, as if they were one entire entity all to themselves.
"Agent Coulson just told us the news, what a wonderful surprise, isn't it Fitz?" Skye heard Fitz respond with a simple "Yeah" before she turned her attention back to Simmons. She couldn't help but notice the cute smile that just seemed so natural for the smaller woman to have on her face. She had to admit, she was quite attracted to Simmons (she really wanted to know what her first name was so she didn't have to call her by her last name all the time). I mean yeah, she's had several relationships before, the most recent one with Miles, but there was something different about this women and she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She also knew that she hardly knew this woman, but it doesn't take a person a long time to figure out who they're attracted to, at least physically. Now she just needed to get to know her better. She looked up a Fitz and handed the box over for him to carry.
"No, it's wonderful, you must be excited." Simmons continued. Yes, but definitely not as enthusiastically as you. Could this girl get any cuter? Shit, she noticed them looking at her expectantly. She realized now that the conversation she's been having with them was kind of one-sided. More like, they were talking while she looked like an idiot. This is the part where your lips move Skye, and make coherent sentences.
"Yeah, first day of school." Really? This is what she came up with? Dear mouth, meet my foot. That actually sounded a lot more arrogant then she intended it to. But that's the way she grew up in life. Always taught to be quick witted and defend herself with any come-back possible, even though she knew they were trying to be really nice to her, trying to make her feel like she fit in with them. It was a weird feeling, fitting in, like she was a piece of puzzle, but she didn't fit with any of the other pieces. She couldn't forget the main reason why she was there though. Once again she was brought out of her thoughts by the woman in front of her.
"Okay, so…" Simmons pushed past her, as she did she smelt the perfume on her skin and she couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of calm wash over her. Skye purposefully brushed her arm on the other woman as she passed, making the scientist blush. 'I definitely could have fun with this,' she thought to herself before turning on her heel and making her way up the staircase behind Simmons.
Jemma's POV
She knew that life out in the field was going to be exciting. In the span of only a few days they had investigated an explosion, tried to work out the mystery behind this 'centipede' serum, and had to make a way to stabilize the serum in Mike's blood so he didn't blow up like the other man had. And now they were on their way to investigate an 0-8-4. Even though she had been through all of that, she was very excited about the newest member of their team, Skye. The name just kind of rolled off her tongue. It was exciting to know that she was a former hacker of the Rising Tide, and now she was working for them, to know that they could have that kind of pull over a person. She was doing everything in her power to make the newcomer feel welcome, but there was one problem she was having.
She wasn't handling this as well as she probably wanted to. She was trying to act all nonchalant in front of this woman, but her nerves were getting the better of her. Why though? 'Oh don't ask why, you perfectly know why well enough,' she told herself. Any time she was talking to Skye, or Skye was talking to her, listening to the other woman's voice, or when she felt her touch against her skin, it kind of sent her over the edge. She knew that at this very moment that norepinephrine was coursing through her system, causing her heart to race. There was dopamine and endorphins racing through her, causing her to be way to overly happy and giddy than she normally would be. Surprisingly, with the amount of those two chemicals flowing through her body, she was surprised she wasn't making a bigger ass of herself right now. Her palms were overly sweaty and she could feel the blood in her body rushing to her face, making her blush. She's also more than sure that if she asked Fitz right now he would confirm that her pupils would be dilated. I have a crush on her; it was the simple as that. She definitely hadn't felt like this since that one girl she knew at the academy, but it just ended up turning into a frivolous dead end.
She could hear Fitz trying his best to sound cool in front of the newcomer, as he talked about the Bus. She could tell that he was attracted to her as well. She was jealous for obvious reasons, because even though he was failing horribly at impressing her, he had a better shot with Skye then she ever did.
"Yeah, I've been up here before, but didn't see much, because of the bag that Agent Ward put over my head." She felt bad for Skye, having to be taken in previously as if she were some sort of dangerous criminal. She knew it was all precaution, but still.
"Yes, were so sorry about that." She could feel the slight awkwardness growing because the current topic of their conversation. She wanted to make things better, but what could she do? Looking around she grabbed the first thing she saw. "Water?" She asked, holding out the bottle to Skye. Really? Now I am acting like a total ass. At least she took the bottle. Just then May's voice came over the intercom.
"Wheels up in two; lock it or lose it." The voice then ceased.
"What does that mean?" Skye questioned.
"No backing out now." She looked over at Fitz. "Let's find a bunk for our guest." She could see the Scotsman getting overly excited as he pushed past the two of them, with the box still in his arms.
"Yeah, there's only one left and it's right next to mine." Wait, what? How was it that he was the lucky one? She saw Skye move past Fitz into her new room. Maybe she could convince him to switch bunks with her, it was at least worth it to try.

So that's the end to chapter one. What did you think? I'll definitely try to have the upcoming chapters out as soon as I can. According to my outline right now there looks to be about 21 chapters on their way, but that may change, depending. Thanks for reading!
