The month had gone by quickly. Skye had spend most of her time looking for a house in a quiet zone in between missions which she found not long after and also finding a job in the same area which she also found without trouble in a company that needed someone in the field of computer science. She had everything ready and had even started packing already and now she was going on her last mission as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, something she was happy and sad about.
They were currently in the conference room waiting for Coulson to come and start briefing. She was standing next to Ward who she was still meant to talk to. With all that she had to do she kept forgetting it and pushing it aside but she knew she had to do it before she left and her time was running out.
A moment later Coulson walk into the room bringing Skye out of her thoughts.
"So... What's gonna be my last mission A.C.? It better be something good."
Coulson chuckled at that before saying "It's nothing big. We just need to go confirm an 0-8-4, sorry."
"Where exactly?" she asked.
"In New York."
"It's not even somewhere exciting." Skye whined "At least tell me I'll be going in the field."
Coulson gave her an apologetic smile before saying "We could really use you running comms. It's nothing big really. Fitzsimons just need to go in to confirm with someone to offer coverage in case of an hostile situation and then we'll just have to secure it."
"I get it AC, it's cool." she said.
"And who will be going in with us, sir?" Simmons asked not being able to hide her excitement over going on missions again.
"That would be agent Ward." Coulson said looking at Simmons and then at Ward.
Ward simply nodded at him in confirmation.
"Alright. gear up people, we'll be landing in an hour." he said since they currently on the bus heading for the location where the 0-8-4 was reported.
Skye then walked out of the door going to the lounge to retrieve her laptop before going back to the conference room, from where everybody had already cleared out, to set up the comms.
Half an hour later the plane landed and Coulson, Fitzsimmons and Ward went to the location while May and Skye stayed behind on the bus. The rest of the team had stayed behind at the base since it wasn't necessary for them to come.
The mission went off without a hitch. Fitz and Simmons analyzed the 0-8-4 and concluded that it wasn't life threatening so they managed to get it on the plane and bring it to the base where they could analyze it more thoroughly. They did encountered some hostiles but Ward managed to handle them with minimal injuries that he brushed off when Simmons insisted to take a look at them and patch him up.
Soon they were back at the base and Skye saw the opportunity to do what she'd been avoiding doing for the last month when she saw Ward slip to his room with a first aid kit in hand.
She entered his room after him making sure no one had seen her and locked the door behind her. She had the advantage that he had he had his back turned to her so he still hadn't acknowledged his presence. He had removed his shirt before she entered the room and was now rummaging trough the first aid kit looking for something.
"Do you need something?" he asked starling her. She though he didn't knew she was there.
"Jesus! You scared me."
He turned to face her and only then did she saw how deep his injuries really went.
"You told Simmons it was just skin deep." she chastised him before he could say anything else, moving closer to him to take a better look at his wounded shoulder were she was sure a bullet had logged.
"It's no big deal really, I had worse." he tried to reassure her, then asking "What are you doing here anyway?"
She ignored his question and instead said "Just shut up and sit down, you dumb ass." shoving him gently by the chest until he was were she wanted him to be.
"Did you ever did this before?" he asked curiously when he realized what she wanted to do.
"Yes, don't worry. Simmons taught how to treat a gunshot wound so you don't have to be afraid I'll kill you or something." she said reaching for the med kit and taking out what she needed.
They both stayed quiet while she tended to his wound relishing on the feeling of being so close together after spending so long keeping their distances. Once she finished she moved away from him getting everything back in the first aid kit but she didn't leave right away.
"Thanks for patching me up." Ward said "But you didn't come here just for that, did you?" he asked then.
"I thought we should talk." Skye admitted.
"Okay." he said stretching the word.
"I mean, I'm leaving tomorrow and I didn't want to leave things between us like they are now, you know."
"Okay, I'm listening."
Skye opened her mouth to start explaining herself to him but was stop from actually doing it by a knock on the door.
"Yes?" Ward called out.
"Hey Ward, it's me." they heard Fitz say trough the door "I just needed help with something in the lab, but if you're busy now it's cool, we can do it later."
"It's fine, Fitz. Just give me a minute, I'll be right there."
"Okay, thanks." They heard him say before footsteps walking way.
"This will take more than a minute." Skye informed him.
"I know. I'm sorry. Maybe we can talk later?" he suggested already moving to the door of his bunk after putting his shirt back on.
"Yeah, sure." Skye sighed not really knowing what else she could say or do.
"Okay, well talk later." he promised her and then he was out of the room.
For a moment Skye just stood there in the middle of Ward's room, not knowing what do. But a moment later she decided to leave before anyone catch her there and jumped to the wrong conclusions.
She left the room with the intention of going to her own and take a shower but was stopped in her way there by Simmons showing up in front of her. Thankfully she hadn't seen were Skye had had come from.
"Skye, there you are. I was looking for you." Jemma said coming to an halt in front of Skye who was still standing in front of Ward's bunk door.
"Here I am. Need anything?" Skye asked.
"I just wanted to make sure you didn't forget the party tonight." Jemma said.
"Don't worry Jemma, I haven't forgotten." Skye reassured her friend before walking to her room, Simmons following behind her "I was actually heading to my room right now to have a shower and get ready."
"Oh, great!" she said excitedly before her expression fell "I'm really gonna miss you, you know?"
"I Know Jemma, I'm sorry. I'm really gonna miss you too." Skye said giving her best friend a sad smile when she stopped in front of the door to her room.
"You'll still keep in touch, right?"
"Of course I will. I wouldn't be able to not talk to you at least once a week."
"At least that."
"I'm gonna go shower now, I'll see you later, okay?"
"See you later." she heard Simmons say before closing the door of her room.
She then went to have a quick shower and get ready for the party. After she showered she putted o jeans and a button down, since it was just the team and noting big or fancy.
After getting dressed she went in search of Simmons finding not long after in the common area with the rest of the team as well. The party wasn't nothing bid g like she expected, just some snacks and drinks.
"So..." she started when she entered the room "What's the plan for tonight?"
"Yeah, what exactly do you have planned?" Hunter asked Simmons, mocking curiosity in his tone. "This isn't even a real party." he complained.
"Please, your definition of having a party is getting drunk until you don't remember anything the next day, make a complete fool of yourself and then falling asleep at the most random place possible." Bobbi reprimanded him.
"I was thinking that maybe we could watch a couple of movies or play some games if you wanted to. You can choose." Jemma said to Skye a little too loudly before Bobbi and Hunter could start one of their fights.
"That sounds great." Skye said.
"That sounds boring." Hunter complained once again "Is that your concept of a party?"
"No." Simmons defended herself "But I thought it would be better if we did something all together instead of having a big party were we can't even talk to each other." she said looking at Skye for approval.
"I think that's great Simmons." Skye assured her friend "Maybe we could watch a movie." she suggested.
Simmons smiled gratefully at Skye before asking her "What movie would you like to watch?"
"I'm okay with watching anything, really." Skye answered her moving to sit beside her on the couch.
"We could watch one of your favorites and maybe play some games after that." Jemma suggested.
"That sounds great." Skye said.
Only then did she noticed that Ward was also there sitting quietly in the corner of the room watching the whole thing. She tried to catch his gaze but it was too late because the next moment he was in deep conversation with Fitz and Simmons was getting her attention again so they could choose what movie to watch.
They all spent the evening watching a couple of Skye's favorite movies and playing games all the while having snacks and a couple of beers while talking and telling stories from missions.
Skye then realized that she wouldn't be able to talk to Ward and that maybe be able to get closure with him like she wanted to. She sighed and brought herself out of her thoughts putting her attention back n the movie they were watching.
A moment later Ward suddenly got up and stretched before saying "I'm going to bed. I'm exhausted. Goodnight."
He got a chorus of 'Goodnight's' and walked out of the room.
Skye saw it as her opportunity to talk to him so she waited a couple of minutes, to not raise suspicions, before getting up herself.
"I think I'm going to bed too." she said stretching.
"Already?" Simmons asked sadly.
"Yeah. I'm sorry Simmons, but I'm exhausted and it's gonna be a long day tomorrow. Goodnight."
They all said their "Goodnight's" and then she left the common area going straight to Ward's room knowing that no one would see her.
She knocked on his door tentatively and a moment later he opened it looking to surprised to see her.
"Thought we could finally have that talk." she said answering his unasked question.
Is only answer was to move to the side and gesture for her to get in. She walked inside and he closed the door behind her before turning to face her.
"OK." he said preparing himself for what was to come "I'm listening."
