Chapter 4

Parker stood in front of the monitors quietly as Fitz tried to get the signal back for the cameras. Coming to an empty base was unexpected for the team. Coulson hoped he could make amends with May after seeing everything happen with Audrey. He could never repair their relationship after S.H.I.E.L.D told her that he was dead.

"Most of the footage has been erased." The engineer finally tells them. "We only have footage from the hanger."

"Put it on Fitz." Coulson instructs him.

Fitz pulls up the footage to when they first leave for Portland, fast forwarding till they see something other then themselves leaving. It only gets into ten minutes after when they see Agent May dressed for the cold with a bag walking out the hanger exit.

"There's Agent May. Why is she leaving?" Simmons asked.

Coulson shook his head in response saying he has no idea why she would leave like that but he has a feeling it's because of the trust he lost for her. Parker on the other hand, realizes there's more then just Coulson on this team that's well known. He knew of the Calvary as a freshman at the academy when he spent a lot of the time in the library. Sometimes either Fitz or Simmons would have to pull him out.

It wasn't before long when the footage forwarded to Skye and Ward walking to the bus both holding each other's hand. At that time, Parker felt like he was going to be sick.

"Excuse me." He says as he pushes his way past Jemma and Trip out to the hallway.

When Parker gets to the hallway, he runs his hands through his dark hair and keeps walking. The agent can hear Jemma behind him yelling his name, trying to get his attention. He knows he's keeping secrets. Parker knows Skye, he has for awhile now. Telling Simmons what exactly was going on with him was going to be hard. Leo and Jemma were his friends, part of his family and he's been lying to them. She's been lying to them. They both were liars.

"Andrew!" Jemma yelled again.

Parker finally stops and turns around to face her. What was he supposed to tell her? The agent can't make up his mind if he should tell the truth or tell a lie to her. To come out and say how he knows Skye exactly or not all.

"Andrew." Jemma says again finally reaching him.

"I'm sorry, Jemma." He whispers in defeat pulling her into a hug.

They stay like that for a few seconds before they both pull away, not having felt that close since they were at the academy. Simmons pulls Parker towards the wall and they both sit up against it. Both close together like how they used to sit when they both hid in the library when Andrew needed comforting when he would deal with the lost of his father.

"Tell me what's wrong, Andrew." Jemma tells him placing her hand over his.

"I can't. It's not easy to explain."

"Why not? You've always told me things."

"We're not at the academy anymore, Jemma. It isn't that simple."

"At least try to explain why you left sudden?"

"I know Agent Ward from one of the missions I was on." Parker answers partly lying.

He only has came across Ward a few times after he left the sci-ops academy and went to get his field training. He beat a few of his records a couple times but lost to him in a sparing match once.

"I lost badly to him in a sparing match once. Had a black eye for a few weeks."

"When was that?" Simmons sound speechless

"My first year in field training. His last. We ended up getting into a fight about something."

Simmons chuckled for a few seconds. "Why am I not surprised."

Parker smiled. Meeting Jemma seemed like fate. After all they went through at the academy, they somehow became great friends and considered each other siblings by the end of it all. Same with Fitz who was now walking up towards them.

"Hey, just came to check up on you two. Coulson was kind of worried." He said stopping in front of them.

"We are fine, Fitz. Andrew was just telling me about with sparing match with Agent Ward."

"Is that why you left? Because you saw Ward?" Fitz asked Parker.

"Yeah, the memories all came back at me. To be honest, my last mission was tough on me. I broke my arm and was infected with something that made my worst fears appear. I was hallucinating for a few days." Parker tells both of them the truth about his last mission. "That's why I've been at the hub for a few weeks before Coulson called. I was visiting my mom at the time when he called."

"That's terrible. Almost as bad as when Jemma threw herself off the bus." Fitz said before realizing his mistake.

Leo Fitz quickly covered his mouth with his hand and hoped Parker didn't hear the last part of the sentence.

"Jemma did what!?" Parker yelled questionably.

"Andrew." Jemma says quietly.

"You threw yourself out of the bus?"

"I was infected with the Chitauri virus and was on the brink of death. So I thought to save the team, I had to jump. Fitz and I found the cure though."

"Sounds like we have a lot to catch up on. Right, Leo." Parker tells both of them seeing Fitz nod his head.

"Well should I make pancakes then? Andrew, you still like them right?" Simmons says.

"Of course. I actually have missed your breakfast making, Jemma." Parker says laughing, picking himself off the ground and then helping Simmons up.

"Great, Fitz can you prepare the griddle while Andrew and I find the mix?"

"Yes, I'll meet you two in the kitchen." Fitz tells them as he starts walking in that direction.

Simmons leads Parker to a small storage room towards the end of the hallway where the extra food is kept. It's a decent size room with a few selves so it wouldn't be too hard to find the pancake mix.

"You can just wait out here, Andrew. Should just take a second." Jemma tells him.

Simmons doesn't take long to find the pancake mix but when she does, the biochemist finds a trail of what looked to be blood on the wall when she begins to walk out. Curious, she follows the trail up to the ceiling to find something unexpected. Agent Koenig dead up in the rafters. Screaming, Simmons runs out of the room dropping the pancake mix and into Parker's arms.

"Jemma? Are you okay?" He asks.

At this time Simmons is crying. "I found Agent Koenig."

When Fitz hears a scream, he is walking past the bathroom. He doesn't catch it at first but the engineer takes a step back to look in the bathroom.

"That's odd." He says to himself before pulling out the flathead screwdriver lodged in the frame.

When he finally pulls out the screwdriver, the picture retracts and changes to another.

No.

No. No

No.

No.

WARD IS HYDRA

4AOS4

When Ward told Skye they had to go meet the team, the hacker came up with a plan. She decided that she had to trick him into thinking that she cared for him. Just as much as she knew he cared about her. So Skye kissed him after she found Koenig and carved the Ward is hydra into the frame. The hacker had to get into his head somehow. Andrew had been the one to teach her to find a way into the opponents head and now she was putting it to use although he probably wouldn't approve of her method this time. But when they would touch down in Los Angeles, she would put her plan in play and hopefully get back to the team.

For now, Skye would just watch the clouds and the sun rise as they flew to the destination. She didn't need Ward to know what she was up to just yet.

Please leave a review and let me know what you think. Any idea on how Parker and Skye could know each other? Or what Fitz was referring to when Parker and Simmons say it was one time in the last chapter. Also please let me know how/if this should be continued.
