Hey babes! So, over on Tumblr, there's this going on starting today. It's Skyeward Month. So I'm going to be writing a little one-shot for almost every one of the days. So here's the first installment. The prompt: Battleship.

Hope you enjoy!


"So what are you all thinking?" Bobbi asks the two cadets in the room.

"Is it always this intense?" One of the cadets, Michael, asks.

"Sometimes it's pretty tame," Bobbi informs the young cadets.

"Although their first game after they were reunited was really intense," Hunter states.

"How so?" The other cadet, Hannah, asks.

"They destroyed an entire room," Hunter replies.

"What?" Hannah goes wide-eyed. "How do you tear an entire room apart by playing Battleship?"

"Oh," Bobbi laughs, "you're be surprised by what can happen when those two start playing battleship."

"Were they always so competitive?" Michael asks.

"I don't know," Bobbi replies. "The first time I saw them play was a few weeks after he came back. That first game they played here at the base, the room they used had to be completely redone."

"Do you know why?" Hannah asks.

"Let's just say someone wasn't in complete control of her emotions and let them get the best of her, resulting in a tiny earthquake within the room."

"Wait, seriously?"

Bobbi nods her head, "Yeah. And I was the one in charge of the room repairs, so I hand an up close and personal look at the damage done. It was pretty crazy.

"Wow. How long did it take to fix it?"

"Not as long as you would think," Bobbi says. "But it was pretty hard work for the contractors who actually had to fix everything."

"Damn it, Skye!"

Turning towards the shatterproof one-way window, Bobbi, Hunter, Michael, and Hannah watch as the scene plays out in front of them.

"Keep your hands off the table," Grant demands. "I told you this already. Now stop cheating."

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Skye says innocently.

"Yes you do," he replies. "You have your hands on the table and you're using your abilities to feel the vibrations of where my game pieces are on the board."

"First of all, that was actually a pretty good example of what I can do, so kudos to you for that. Second of all, even without my hands on the table to feel the vibrations of the game pieces, which I'm not doing, I can beat you. Or do you not remember every other time we've played this game?"

Grant's jaw tightens and Skye just smirks.

"Since we're getting pretty close to this game being over, I'm going to save you the agony of taking your turn and getting another miss, by saying, A3."

Grant's jaw tightens even more as he stares down at his game board.

"Say it, babe," she leans forward slightly. "Say it."

"You sunk my battleship," he gets out through gritted teeth.

"Yes!" Skye laughs, pumping her first in the air. "Victory is mine once again." She dances in her chair, a wide smile on her face.

"Cut it out," Grant snaps.

"Aww," Skye stops dancing and looks at Grant. "Someone's even more of a sore loser than usual."

"I'm not a sore loser," he tells her. "You're just unnaturally good at this."

"You say that every time we play this game, sweetie," she smiles sweetly at him. She stands up from her chair and walks over to him, "Which makes you a sore loser."

"I'm not a sore loser," he insists.

"Yes you are," she leans down and pats his cheek with her hand.

When she goes to pull away, he reaches out and grabs her wrist in his hand, holding it tightly but not enough to hurt her.

She just smirks at him before he reaches his other hand up to grab the back of her head and pull her into a searing kiss.

Skye moans into the kiss, moving herself so she is straddling his lap.

"Okay," Bobbi speaks up from the other side of the glass to the cadets. "We should probably get going now."

"Why?" Michael asks. "They're just going to make out for a minute and then play another game, right? You said we were coming here to watch them play."

"Oh the minds of the young and innocent," Hunter says.

"What do you mean?" Michael asks.

"Remember how I said there was a mini earthquake in one of the rooms?" Bobbi looks at both of them. "Well, I'm pretty sure that room is about to experience one as well. Thank goodness for shatterproof glass."

"Wait," Michael says. "You mean the earthquake happened because they…"

Bobbi nods her head, "Yep. It's harder for Skye to control her abilities when they're intimate. And by the looks of things, that is going to be happening very soon."

They all turn their heads back towards the glass to see both Skye and Grant with their shirts off. Skye's pants are gone and she's sitting up on the table, the Battleship boards and pieces lying scattered on the floor. The two have their lips locked and their bodies pressed together.

"Alright," Hunter speaks, "time to go. We do not want to see any of this. Trust me."

They all quickly make their way out of the observation room, shutting the door and locking it behind them.

As they walk away from the observation room, they feel a small tremor start beneath their feet.

"Here comes the earthquake," Hunter says aloud as a few of the walls near them start to shake as well. Everyone in the hallway stops moving, standing still as they ride out the tremor. After a few minutes of the room shaking, things settle back down and everyone goes about their business again.

"And this happens every time they play Battleship?" Hannah asks.

"More or less," Bobbi shrugs. "Sometimes their games are pretty harmless and don't cause the building to shake."

"And then there are the times when they go at it like animals and make you think the entire building is going to collapse," Hunter states.

"Wow. That's pretty intense," Hannah says.

"Yes it is," Bobbi replies as they continue their way through the building.


"How far do you think that one went?" Grant asks Skye as they slip their clothes back on.

"I don't know for sure, but I'm going to say at least to the hallway outside."

"You think so?" Grant asks.

"I know so," she replies with a smile. "I can feel how and where my tremors travel, remember?"

"Of course I remember," he smiles back. "Now, how do you feel about another game?" He asks with a small smirk.

"Hmm, I don't know. Are you going to be a sore loser again?"

He smirks, "I guess we'll have to play the game and find out."
