( previously )

It's two months after John Garrett died and the new SHIELD is flourishing , Fitz has awaken and is his normal self while Skye has gone into a untrusting betrayal state. Colson and the team grow concerned about their hacker and called in Captain America for help.

(Present)

Skye is sitting in the far corner of the private jet watching Captain Rogers and Tony Stark play poker " Come on Capsicle are you going to raise or fold?" Skye watching intently as she can see Caps cards " I will raise " Stark raises a eyebrow and says "Alright Capsicle I am all in " Steve smirks and also goes all in they reveal their cards and Skye bursts out laughing at Tonys astonished face and immediately both Avengers snap their heads in her direction making her look down and say " Sorry" Tony shrugged but Steve smirked " No need to be sorry Skye his face was priceless... Why don't you join us? I heard that your pretty good, I could use some real competition other then Stark." he says before looking to Stark with a innocent face " Ummm alright..." Says the hacker very reluctantly they deal her in and she is quiet throughout the game till the game gets intense enough that they are betting objects or skills " I will raise me completely securing Stark industries firewalls, and having to sit through the most boring lecture you can imagine ... I am all in" Skye bets with a impassive face, Steve raises a eyebrow looking to his cards before he says " I am out" Tony frowns but replies" I am adding my 2012 Eclipse to the pot ... All in" Steve watches the ultimate showdown of glares and as soon as Tony and Skye show their cards the hacker smiles " I win"

" Jeez what all did she win Capsicle?" Asks Tony as Skye takes the pot " A 2012 Eclipse, a day of having Steve as a personal security guard, a day of using Starks Limo, all my bets and ehh about 12k " says Skye with a devious grin " I can't believe a hacker beat me by one point! Your extremely lucky kid." Skye shrugs turning back to her depressed withdrawn self and Steve sighs " So agent Skye what have you learned already in the field?" The hacker tensed but replied " The basics ... My former partner slash S.O taught me various things some more advanced than others." Steve rubbed his chin in thought, Skye took her winnings and pocketed them.

Skye pulled out her laptop and was pleasantly surprised that the billionaire's jet had wifi, she started browsing the web when a idea came to her " Mr. Stark... How good is Stark Industries firewall?" she asks nonchalantly and the billionaire smiled " Unhackable ... Completely top of the line even better than the former SHIELD's" Skye raised a eyebrow and asked " May I test that?" Stark shrugs " Go right ahead kid but it will take you days ." Skye shook her head impassively as she stated " No I can break this firewall in a hour and a half." Tony looked at her in disbelief and said " Not possible kid but i would like to see you try ." Skye started typing into her laptop as she begins to hack Stark Industries, Tony and Steve talk while the hacker hacks a hour and a half later they are both almost asleep but jump up when they hear " I did it!" Tony moves to her side and sure enough the hacker hacked into Stark industries having access into financial records, bank accounts and various schematics for weapons and devices. Starks eyes are wide and he looks to Steve " I want her... Come work for me Agent Skye I could use someone with your skills." Skye shrugged " Sorry I can't ... I work for Director Colson and Captain Rogers is my new S.O... I would be more than happy to work on your firewalls while I am at Avengers Tower when I am not training or on a mission if that's alright with you?" she says before looking to Captain Rogers who smiled " Skye you can do whatever in your spare time." The hacker gives him a small smile before typing into the laptop .. " I just put up a advanced block to protect Stark Industries till I can fix the firewalls."

They arrived at Avengers Tower and immediately Skye felt uncomfortable being around people that are legions and she doesn't trust easily now which makes everything more uncomfortable. " Hello You must be Agent Skye, I am Agent Clint Barton AKA HawkEye." Says the archer who greats Stark and Steve " Ummm nice to meet you Agent Barton." Steve noticed that his trainee is uncomfortable so he spoke up " Agent Skye why don't I give you a tour of the tower so you don't get lost." Skye mutely nods and follows Steve into the elevator leaving Clint to ask " Why is she so closed off? It's almost as if she is afraid of being betrayed?" Stark shrugged " Her former S.O slash partner betrayed her for hydra... She was in love with him and Director Colson says she has been in a depressed untrusting mood as of late. She is brilliant but hiding it... Colson hopes that Capsicle can get her to trust people again. He has a lot of work ahead of him ... But I warn you don't play poker with her she got my eclipse and 12k in one winning"said stark walking away shaking his head. Clint decides to find Someone to spar with.

Skye enjoyed the tour but remained closed off , so far nothing had really reminded her of Grant Ward. But little did she know that would soon change.
