Based off of the prompts from Agents of SHIELD Fic Bingo by Zedille on AO3.
Takes place during Season 1, post Nothing Personal. Spoilers for everything after that, but doesn't follow canon completely.

5. Skye anticipated Ward's betrayal
She must have known or at least suspected, he decides as he looks at the decoded hard drive. A Hydra agent is looking up at him and Garrett has his eyebrows raised.
"That girl of yours sure is something else."
That is an understatement. He'd found out the location to unpack the drive from her, had brought her back to the team, and had given the drive back to Hydra to be hacked. He'd never intended for her to know. He never wanted her to get hurt this way.
There is a message displayed that says "Nice try, Ward."
She is a thousand miles away by now, in some sort of hideaway with a whole new identity. His, he discovered after she apparently sent cops after him, was not as scrubbed as she made it seem, forcing him to lay low. He'd never see her again. He'd never get the chance to explain to her.
How little did she think of people that she had anticipated, no, expected him to betray her, to betray SHIELD?
A piece of him dies that night.
Review.
