Skye groaned loudly as she recognised the time on the alarm clock – which she guessed was ward's – it read 06:47, that meant she had 13 minutes to get up, have a shower, get dressed, do her hair, get breakfast and find Ward, god knows where. She sighed and threw back the covers and forced herself up.

Within 10 minutes she'd put her hair in a messy bun, got dressed in a pair of blue, knee-length sweatpants and a loose white, slub top with thin straps and was now searching the cupboards for coffee. She opened the same drawer for the umpteenth time and sighed, because for some reason there was still no coffee there. She was about to close it when something at the end of the drawer caught her eye. She pulled it out and examined the front; it was some sort of map. There were markings on it in a red pen, it looked like he'd put in some sort of route through the base. There was an 'x' in one of the rooms; she squinted to read the small writing 'gymn'.

"Oh" She sighed as she realised what he'd done. "Guess x marks the spot" she muttered to herself as she exited the room. Time to learn how to follow a map.


"Crap" She muttered to herself. This was the same corridor she went down 10 minutes ago. She looked back down at the map in frustration, she'd been wandering around for at least a half hour and she was no close to finding the gymn. Let's try right this time. As she rounded the corner a guy walked round at the same time. He was too busy consumed in his laptop to notice her and instead they bumped into eachother.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry-" he stuttered out in surprise.

"No, that was my fault I-" she stopped and looked him over. He didn't look like hydra. There was no tactical gear or cold expression. He was wearing jeans and a plaid top with a white under shirt; he had short brown, curly hair and brown stubble on his face. He wasn't as tall as Ward but still taller than her. He smiled down at her, she was sure he could see her blushing under his gaze. "I'm Skye" She introduced herself, holding out her hand politely.

"oh, err" he shuffled his laptop around in his hands until he had a free hand and shook hers. "Miles"

"You don't really look like all the other hydra agents" She spoke, curiosity in her tone.

"Oh I'm not like the soldiers here, I'm just a hacker." He shrugged back, still with a cute smile on his face.

"Same, it's my first day here. I'm supposed to be in training right now, actually" she answered, a little amused. "I don't suppose you know where the gymn is?" she winced at sounding so dumb.

"Sure." He lifted his wrist to his face, checking his watch. "I got time, I'll show you." He smiled at her before walking past her gesturing for her to follow.

She quickly caught up to him so they were walking side by side. "So if we're both hackers how come I'm the only one being forced to wake up at ridiculous hours every morning?"

He chuckled at that. "I did a bit of weapons training at first if it's any constellation. Want any tips on getting onto Garrett's good side? It might help with a regimen change."

"I think some tips on Ward might be more helpful." She tried not to notice his head snapping down to her.

"Ward? He's training you?" he blew out some air making a kind of 'woof' sound. "Hate to break it to you but I don't think he has a good side. He's a… difficult man to understand."

She opened her mouth to reply but he stopped and pointed to a double glass door. She looked over her shoulder and could quite clearly see gymn equipment set up inside. "Right, thanks" She smiled.

"I gotta go, but it was nice talking to you, see you 'round, Skye." He'd disappeared before she could reply. It was probably for the best, she knew she'd of just said something embarrassing.

She turned around to see a very clearly pissed off Ward glaring at her through the glass. It's like when Maria found her with Jake all over again. She pushed open the doors, might as well get this over and done with.

"What the hell Skye?!" He practically yelled at her.

"Alright, I'm sorry ok, I got lost." She said holding her hands up defensively.

"You got lost, you've got the map I gave you right there!" He gestured to the paper in her hand.

"Oh I'm sorry; you must have me confused with a normal person. I've never used a map before, Ward!" She yelled as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"How the hell was I supposed to know?!" neither of them had realised that now everyone in the gymn was watching their screaming match.

"Well you would've if you'd actually asked me!" Skye was pissed off now. How dare he, it was her first day he could at least cut her a bit of slack.

"And I suppose Miles was just showing you the way?"

"Yes he was actually!" How could he accuse her of that!

Ward was about to answer back when a voice from behind her started them. "Well, well, well. You come in to check on your best agent training the newbie and this is what you find." Garrett stepped closer with every word until he stood next to Skye. "I'm disappointed, in both of you." He teased, slightly amused.


A/N: So just wanted to say, I don't hate miles from 1x5, I thought he was actually ok. Anyway thanks for reading, hope you'll stick with me I'll do a bit of a time jump soon where Skye and Ward are a bit closer coz at the moment I've just been writing them as friends. Please R&R C ya T x
