Sorry for taking a couple days to write this, it took me a while to figure out this chapter! I hope you enjoy it!

Skye woke up to the usual sound of banging on her door, by none other than her loving SO.

"Skye wake the hell up or I will not hesitate to dump a bucket of ice cold water on your head." Ward shouted through the door, trying to wake her up.

"I'm up!" Skye yelled back through the door as loud as she could. "Do we even have buckets on the bus?" Skye snickered as she got up and pulled on her training clothes.

"Not the point." Ward sighed as he heard Skye shuffling around her bunk.

"Well what would you dump ice water on me with if you didn't have a bucket?" Skye shouted back at the door hopping around trying to get a shoe on.

"Skye would you just hurry up." Ward sighed as he backed away from the door a little. "I'll meet you downstairs."

About five minutes later Skye showed up at the top of the steps of the cargo hold, with her training clothes on and hair partially pulled back.

"All I'm saying is that we have no buckets on here, unless you want to use one of Simmons bio-hazard bins, which I highly suggest you don't, you have no way to get that ice water, on my head." Skye pointed out as she descended the stairs, earning a glare from Ward.

"Why are we still talking about this?" He asked her sighing.

"Because your threats make no sense." Skye sarcastically smiled back at him as she wrapped her hands for boxing.

"Skye lets just please focus on your training. K?" Ward grumbled as they started to hit the punching bag dangling from the ceiling.


Three hours later and a bunch of cuss words and sweat, they were done training, showered, and now sat in the kitchen eating a snack and talking with Simmons, and Fitz.

After a couple moments of silence where they all ate their food and read on phones or tablets, Simmons perked up looking like she was remembering something to ask a team mate.

"Hey Skye, did you finish looking into that website Coulson asked you about yesterday?" Simmons asked throwing another piece of her food in her mouth.

"Not yet." Skye answered swallowing her food. "It's a pretty complex hack so it might take a while and I've been procrastinating it." Skye sighed as she admitted she wasn't looking forward to this assignment.

Jemma nodded in understanding at Skye before returning to what she was reading, and what she was eating, that was until Ward spoke up interrupting all of them.

"How hard can a hack be?" Ward asked Skye shrugging.

"Very, very hard Ward." Skye responded back a little agitated that he would even bring that up.

"I heard what Coulson asked you to do, just hack into a website to find out information on someone, how hard can that be?" Ward asked again looking up at Skye who was somewhat glaring at him now.

"Well excuse me. You try and hack into a secret government website, loaded with every piece of security they could put on it." Skye sarcastically shot back at Ward who was still looking a bit confused.

"It still doesn't seem that difficult compared to what the rest of us do…" Ward shrugged again taking another bite of his food.

Simmons looked back and forwards between Skye and Ward, Skye looking ready to kill him, and Ward just looking a tiny bit confused. "Fitz…maybe we should head back to the lab…" Simmons started as she tried to grab Fitzs arm and walk away.

"I kinda want to see this…" Fitz whispered as they waited for Skye to respond to Wards previous statement.

"Oh yeah, because knocking guys out is soooo much more difficult." Skye mocked as Ward started to get defensive.

"Well it's a lot harder than hacking."

"Oh hell no it isn't" Skye glared at him.

"Hacking is so easy that Simmons dog could do what you do!" Ward yelled back at Skye, causing Fitz and Simmons to back up a little bit but still be close enough to hear whats going on.

"Oh really? Fitz could probably do better than you at everything you do!" Skye yelled equally as loud back.

"I can't tell if that was a compliment or an insult…" Fitz whispered to Simmons as they backed away a little bit farther.

"Oh come on, like you've ever done anything useful with hacking!" Ward yelled even louder than before back at her, he knew what he was saying was hurtful and most of it not at all true, but he had made her mad, then she started making him mad, and there was no going back now.

"I'VE SAVED YOUR LIFE WITH MY HACKING. A TON OF TIMES." Skye now screamed at him.

"I'VE SAVED YOURS JUST AS EQUALLY." Ward screamed back at her too.

"OH, BY JUMPING OUT OF A WINDOW? YOU COULD'VE KILLED US. DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THINGS BEFORE YOU DO THEM WARD?" Skye was now furious that he not only disgraced her hacking, but didn't acknowledge all shes done for him with it.

"OH AND LIKE YOU DO. YOU NEVER PAY ATTENTION, YOU NEVER LISTEN, AND YOU NEVER, EVER THINK." Ward yelled back at her again.

"AT LEAST WHAT I DO HAS SOME LEVEL OF INTELIGENCE INVOLVED. YOU COULD HAVE THE BRAIN THE SIZE OF A WALLNUT AND DO WHAT YOU DO EVERYDAY." Skye shot back

"ARE YOU SURE YOU EVEN HAVE ANY INTELIGENCE IN YOUR BRAIN. FOR SOMEONE WHO HAD A JACKED UP CHILD HOOD AND IS A HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT I'D BE SURPRISED." Ward yelled right back at her, it was mean, he knew that but it had come out of his mouth and there was no going back.

"WELL ITS NOT LIKE YOU GREW UP IN A PERFECT HOME EITHER NOW DID YOU?" Skye was furious. She knew that hurt his feelings but at the moment she didn't care.

"AT LEAST I HAD A HOME AND I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL INSTEAD OF DOING WHATEVER ILLEGAL JUNK YOU WERE INTO AT THE TIME!" Ward was just being cruel now.

"I WASN'T DOING ILLEGAL STUFF WARD. I WAS ACTUALLY STILL IN THE ORPHANAGE FOR YOUR INFORMATION. AND AT LEAST I WASN'T SCARED TO DEATH OF MY BIG BROTHER." Skye knew how to be cruel right back

Simmons and Fitz were about to step in and stop, because now they were getting to the point of just hurtful hate filled remarks, and they couldn't stand to see them fight all day.

"You're an idiot sometimes Skye!" Ward finally quieted down, but he wasn't done with the fight.

"and you're the least human person I've ever met! Have some compassion for once and maybe don't make people feel like they're talking to a wall!" Skye yelled back, quieter than before, but still yelling.

"What on earth is going on in here!" Coulson yelled from the other side of them room, as they saw May walk from the other side with her arms folded over her chest. "I could hear you two from my office!"

"It seems that Agent Ward needs to grow the hell up." Skye shot a glare to Ward as she walked off in the direction of her bunk.

Ward just sighed shook his head towards Coulson and walked off to his bunk as well, leaving Fitzsimmons to try and explain what had happened between the pair.

After they had finished explaining to May and Coulson, May sighed and went back to the cockpit, not feeling the need to talk to either of the adults that were fighting like children.

"Well they're both stupid, and they better shape up because we have a mission, and they're going in together." Coulson sternly said to Fitzsimmons, who gave each other worried glances, this was going to be a long day.


Back in her bunk, Skye sat on her bed fighting tears.

'I can't believed I ever liked that asshole, I can't believe I ever thought he was nice, I can't believe I was ever friends with that jerk.' Skye yelled at herself over and over again in her head, wishing she didn't feel that way about her SO, whom she was just joking around with that morning during training, but she did. He pissed her off so much so early in the fight, but then bringing up her past just made it hurt.

"Skye? Are you all right?" Simmons voice came from her door as she sniffled up tears trying to respond.

"Y-yeah I'm fine." Skye said back through the door.

"I know your probably lying, but theres no point in arguing with you now after all that happened." Simmons voice sounded worrisome as she talked through the door. "Coulson sent me to tell you that we have a mission and to please meet in the briefing room in ten minutes."

"Okay…Thank you." Skye mumbled as she got up to clean herself up a little in her mirror.


'I'm an idiot, shes an idiot, I'm a bigger idiot, but shes still a freaking idiot.' Ward yelled at himself over and over again in his head, he was mad, very, very mad. Both at himself and at Skye, but mostly at himself. He was deep into his thoughts when he heard a knock at his bunk door.

"Hey Ward? We've got a mission and Coulson needs you in the briefing room in ten minutes." Fitz spoke softly through the door, not sure how mad Ward was.

"Thanks. See you then." Ward called back as he slowly started to get up and move around.

"are you alright?" Fitz asked.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Ward sighed looking at his door.

"Well…you just got in a huge fight with Skye…" Fitz carried the sentence carefully, not trying to make Ward even madder.

"Well it's not like I care about her anymore so why does it matter, in fact I really hate her!" Ward semi yelled at the door and then stayed quiet until he heard footsteps walking away in the opposite direction. Then, even after he heard the footsteps walking away, he froze in place, realizing his bunk is right next to Skye, and the walls are very thin, and he probably yelled that loud enough for her to hear.

She definitely heard him. She didn't get upset, she just got madder. It took her a second to comprehend what she had heard 'I really hate her!' well. She hated him too, and didn't waste one second going up to the wall they shared and yelling,

"I hate your ass too!" it felt good, getting that off her chest, because as of right now she really did.

After yelling back at him, she smiled to herself and opened her door confidently, giving a glare to Ward who had opened his door seconds before her. They each took off to the briefing room, neither one of them looking at each other again the whole way there.

When they got there it wasn't to big a surprise that they didn't stand next to each other at their end of the table. Instead, Skye stood in between Fitzsimmons, and Ward stood next to Coulson.

"Okay…" Coulson sighed looking at Skye and Ward who just stared at him waiting for him to continue. "We got a lead on centipede. Theres supposedly one of their scientists hiding away in the science division of the University Of Maryland, we need to get in, get him in to HQ for questioning, and get any and all information he may have on computers in the building." Coulson sighed again, knowing this part wouldn't be favorable among the group "Skye, obviously you'll be doing the computer part…with Ward wh-" he didn't finish the sentence because Skye interrupted him to protest, which he highly expected.

"What?! AC come on! You know whats going on, why on earth would you do that!" Skye moaned and groaned and shot a couple glares to Ward, who just looked equally displeased.

"Because you and Ward usually work very well together. I know that you can get in and get the job done without any trouble. Understood?" Coulson looked at the both of them waiting for an answer.

"Yes sir…" Came two mumbled responses.

"Good. Now the computer main frames are in another building, so if anything goes south you won't be able to get immediate help. May and I will find the scientist, while Fitzsimmons stay in the van and monitor us. May?" He finished telling everyone their positions and then turned to May

"We land in twenty." May glared at Skye and Ward before heading back to fly the plane.

Everyone went their separate ways trying to get prepared for the mission they had in front of them.


A half hour later the mission was well underway. Skye and Ward just went through it without talking, which seemed to be working so far, until they got to the computer room and realized it had two entry ways.

"Skye I can only block one so you're going to have to watch the other." Ward sighed as he stood part way outside the door as Skye went to work.

"That's a little hard when I'm busy doing something 'ya know." She nearly spat back at him, still angry from earlier.

"Just do what you have to do alright!" Ward whispered angrily as Skye went to work behind him.

He was so focused on trying to calm down, that he didn't look behind him at Skye for a couple minutes. When he did, he saw that she was gone.

"God damn it." Ward whispered as he tried to get a hold of Fitzsimmons through the ear piece, the coms were down.

Without any other option Ward made it through the hallways trying to figure out what happened to Skye. No matter how mad he was at her he wasn't going to let her get kidnapped that easily.


Skye typed overly fast on her computer, mumbling a few things about Ward under her breath, when suddenly the door opened from the other side, the one that Ward wasn't guarding. She tried to call for him but before she had a chance to speak, a hand was wrapped around her mouth and nose making it impossible to. They didn't take it off until they got about halfway down a brightly lit hallway.

"What team are you with this time huh? Shield?" The one holding her back asked roughly as she struggled to get out of his grasp.

"Y-yes." She whimpered a little as he held her back strongly.

"Yes but which team are you on?" He asked this time a little harder

"A-Agent Coulsons!" Skye said a little more strongly this time.

She wondered why after she said that his grip loosened drastically, and he mumbled a couple cuss words under his breath. Then grabbing her again, he pulled her to a door struggling and all, unlocked it and shoved her inside.

"What the-" Skye whispered as she reached around for a light switch. When she finally found one and pulled it, she found she was in a broom closet.

"A closet? That's a first…" She waited a few minutes before trying the door handle. It was locked. She then resorted to banging on the door every few seconds, hoping Ward would hear her.

Ward walked down a bright hallway, looking for any signs of Skye. When he turned down the next hallway, he heard a banging and someone yelling "Ward?!" That's probably a good sign' he thought as he walked through the door.

"Skye?" He asked through it.

"Ward!" Skye happily exclaimed as she thought she was soon to get out of the closet.

"Hold on…the doors locked. Just give me a…" Ward started fumbling with the door knob, but not until someone came around a corner, took his weapon from him, opened the door, and shoved him in the closet with Skye, all within a fraction of a second.

"Second…" Ward finished his sentence as he looked around the room and at Skye who looked about ready to punch him.

"My hero." Skye gave him a sarcastic remark instead of a punch, and rolled her eyes at him.

They were quiet for a couple more minutes, as they each knew that the team wouldn't come looking for them for another hour, as that's how long they told them they could be. It wasn't long until Ward spoke up though.

"Skye?" Ward asked as he tried to move around in the confined space they're in, finally finding a comfortable position on a box.

"Yes Agent Ward?" Skye snapped at him, still clearly mad.

"I'm…I'm sorry about earlier today. What I said wasn't cool and I wish I could take it back…Do you forgive me?" Ward asked turning a little to see Skyes face, which just turned into a frown.

"No." Skye answered with a hint of sadness in her voice

"What?" ward asked, a little surprised she actually said no.

"No." Skye repeated this time the hint of sadness gone. "You really hurt me. You made me go sit in my bunk and cry, Grant." Skye said the last part with a lot of sadness in her voice.

"I…I'm…I'm sorry." Ward barely got the words out of his mouth, still taking in the fact that he made the only person he could care about right now, cry.

"Yeah I said some stupid things too and I'm sorry about that. But then telling Fitz that you hate me? Not even thinking if I could hear it or not. That's what hurt the most." Skye said sniffling a little, trying to hide her face from Ward by looking at the other wall.

"Then why did you say it back?" Ward asked, the hurt evident in his voice as well.

"Because it felt like the right thing to do at the time?" Skye laughed a little. "I don't really know…"

"Just so you know…I don't really hate you." Ward shrugged looking over to Skye who just seemed to get sadder.

"Yeah you do…I argue with you all the time, I complain about training every day, and I always reply sarcastically to half the things you say." Skye sniffled as she thought about how much of a pain she must be.

"Sure, you do all that stuff. But those little things are what make me like you Skye." Ward spoke softly, "The arguing doesn't bother me that much, your complaining makes training funny because you always find the weirdest ways to tell me how much you hate pull ups, and your sarcastic remarks are just you, and one of my favorite things about you actually." Ward pointed out as Skye slowly turned towards him with a small smile on her face, causing Ward to smile a bit too.

"Thanks…" Skye sniffled a little as she dried her eyes.

"Any day rookie." Ward smiled as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close.

They stayed sitting like that the whole two hours they sat in the closet, Skye resting her head on Wards chest, and Ward occasionally smiling down at her, making sure she was okay. It wasn't very long until they head the voices of their team mates outside and started banging on the door for them. Simmons was the one that eventually opened the door.

"What happened!?" She asked worriedly at first, then noticed Wards arm around Skye and rephrased her question, "What happened?"

"We made up." Skye smiled cheerfully getting up to go hug her friend.

"Oh thank god! I didn't know how much more tension the bus could take!" Simmons sighed as Skye, Ward, and herself started walking towards the exit.


When they got back to the bus, everything was back to normal. Skye and Ward got along just fine, but as Simmons carefully noticed, they got along almost better than before they got in a fight. They sat next to each other at the dinner table, unlike usual where Skye sat next to Fitz and ward sat next to Simmons, and then watching TV afterwards, Ward wrapped an arm around Skye's shoulder and let her lean on him like they did in the broom closet.

Simmons didn't know what was up with the two, but she did know, she was very happy about it!

This is the longest fic I've ever written, at around 3,500 words! Wow! I hope you all like it! Since I didn't get a lot of reviews last chapter, it's going to take 5 reviews to unlock the next one! I know you can do that! Plus it makes me write faster and keeps me more motivated! Thank you for reading and reviewing! (The next couple chapters are lighter more fluffy ones! Including a personal day, and Skye's birthday!)
