Writer's note- this is a one shot that wouldn't leave my mind. I'm still working on the other two Agents of Shield stories. I have a poll up for them if you would check that out it would be great. This happened right after the last episode The Bridge. I can't wait for tomorrow episode. I hope you all had a happy holidays.
Skye told Ace that she would be right back. She was just getting a snack for them. Ward saw her leave as he was watching them play together. He loved watching her when she was acting carefree. She didn't give out any laughs true laughs for free. He walked in after she left. "Hey Buddy." He said to Ace who has resided to playing with his action figures.
Ace looked up and looked him from the ground. Grant kneeled so he was closer to his height and was careful of his arm. "Do you want to play with me, Mr. Ward? Miss Skye will be back soon. She will play with us." Ace seemed really happy despite that his father was hurt.
"Sure, why not?" He didn't mind watching Ace for a while. He reminded Ward of his younger brother. He watched as a smile played out on Ace's face. He smiled back at him and picked up a doll.
Skye grabbed a water bottle for herself and a couple snacks for herself and Ace. As she walked back she could her Ace's voice as he played with his action figures. Then there was another voice. A voice she knew so well. It was Ward's. She wondered what he was doing out of his bed? He was supposed to be resting. She walked closer to the room they were in and stood in the doorway watching the two. Grant was smiling along with Ace as the two played and laughed.
Ward turned around and saw Skye standing in the doorway. He waved her over. Ace noticed that he stopped playing and turned to where he was looking at and saw Skye walking over. His smile grew bigger and she placed the things that she went to grab on the floor next to her and turned back to the coffee table where his toys were at. She smiled back at them. She turned towards the doll and picked up her favorite. Iron Man. She turned him towards the two and used her best robots voice and said, "I'm Iron Man!" They two boys laughed at her and she couldn't help but join in their laughing.
They played for the rest of the day. No one told them to stop and they should get some sleep. No one came and told Ward to go rest because of his arm. No one told him that he shouldn't be straining his arm. Everyone pretty much ignored them but would stop and watched them. No one saw a need to disturb them, no need to break their happy little circle of happiness. They were all happy despite the circumstances.
