4. Gaining Trust Back
Ever since her betrayal of the team, she was trying to regain their trust. She took to listening to FitzSimmons almost nonsensical (to non-scientific minds at least) babbling. She trained harder and listened better. She even took to "visiting" him to his office.
This is a very VERY big problem for him. See, his office is a place of work for him, where he could concentrate at the piles of paperwork that his team seem to forget to fill up (particularly Ward and May). Worse, he sleeps in his office. Whenever she "visits" him to babble about something or another, her scent lingers in the air. He dreads as well as look forward to her nighttime "visits" at his office. Ashamed as he is of it, he fantasizes he's the principal while she's a student needing discipline. Perhaps, he should spank her? He asked himself. He scowled. This is not the way that a 49-year-old agent is supposed to think. He is a professional, for Pete's sake.
As Skye bid farewell and left his office, he breathed a sigh of relief. He may be a professional agent of SHIELD but he was still a red blooded man. Her scent in his room is not helping matters any.
