Skye was always the first to wake. This was as much a surprise for her as anyone else, having needed to literally be dragged out of bed when Ward used to train her.
Although, it wouldn't be much of a surprise if she knew of Tasha's night activities. If she did, she might have let her sleep.

'Tasha,' Skye pawed at the woman asleep beside her, 'Wake up, we have to be ready for that meeting Coulson called in.'

Tasha only groaned, before snuggling closer to Skye. This isn't working, Skye thought. Skye suddenly kissed Tasha, forcing her to acknowledge her presence.

'Skye, let me sleep,' Tasha groaned again.

Skye pouted, at her sleeping girlfriend,

'But Tashaaa,' she drew out her name, 'I want to... play.'

Suddenly Tasha felt sky's hand slide up her calf, resting near the seam of her shorts, raising goose bumps, wherever her hands trailed.

'I'm up!' Tasha jolted upright, suddenly surged with energy.

A sly grin grew on sky's face.

'I knew you would come round to my way of thinking, now, about that fun I mentioned...'she said huskily.

Skye pulled Tasha forward and greedily kissed her, leaving a very breathless Tasha moaning into her mouth.
Tasha's hands trailed up sky's sides, tugging the hem of her shirt up and over her head, and had gone back to kissing Skye before the shirt had reached the floor...

Tasha walked into the kitchen, and went to get her morning coffee, but was intercepted by Clint.

'What happened?' he asked, straight to the point.

Tasha looked at him, puzzled, 'What are you talking about-'

'Don't even think about lying to me, Nat, you're wearing your 'I just had amazing, passionate sex' face.'

Just as Tasha was about to scoff that she didn't have such a face, Skye walked into the kitchen, having agreed to wait 2 minutes after Tasha. Tasha shot Skye a subtle look in warning, and of course Clint saw this.

'OH MY GOD! YOU AND SKYE HAD SEX! YOU TWO ARE DATING!'

Silence filled the room as everyone suddenly stopped their talking, to stare at Skye and Tasha, who were frozen on the spot.

Suddenly Skye shrugged, before kissing Tasha on the cheek, and went to get some coffee, seemingly unworried by everyone's discovery. Tasha, on the other hand, shot a glare at Clint and hissed

'You idiot, what if Coulson separates us, you know protocol. He's the director, he can't just ignore the rules anymore.'

Clint only grinned, which aggravated further, before saying,

'Relax Nat, he's not going to have a problem, unless he wants to be a hypocrite...'

Tasha took a moment till she realised what he was saying,

'Oh my gosh, Clint, I'm so happy for you! What happened?'

Clint grinned, before saying,

'Me too, Nat, she's great for you. and to answer your question, I was sulking in the vents, when I-'

'Everyone, in my office, we need to discuss some things.'

As everyone filed into Coulson's office, Clint sidled past everyone, and stood at Coulson's side, leaning in to whisper something in his ear. Coulson looked up at Skye and Tasha, giving them a reassuring smile, before addressing the group.

'Okay, ever since Skye's little... announcement, we have been getting a lot of Intel about people wanting to join us, past agents and new. Of course we can all see the problem here. We don't know who is Hydra and whose not. Now, the few people I have at the Shield academy have all been through orientation, as have any students signing up, but we can never be sure. Ward got through it, even with all the upgrades we have added, any machine had loopholes. That's why, we are sending in a two man team. one of you has to be a teacher, so we can see from that vantage point, but we also want to send in a 'student' so to speak.'

Skye raised her head, and stepped forward.

'Well, it makes since that I go, I never went to the academy, and though I have gained the muscle, I am not exactly an expert on fighting so it wont raise any heads. Coulson, you've said it yourself, I'm good at reading people, I can do this.'

'What about congress,' Simmons asked, 'you're practically the public face of shield now, some one will recognise you.'

'I put a visual scrambler on the webcam feed, they probably only saw I was a brunette, and that video Tasha posted was too poor quality for anyone to get a good look, no one will recognise me.'

'Sounds good to me,' Coulson said, 'Now I just need a teacher wh-'

'I'll go.' Tasha interjected, not wanting Skye, without her, in the field.

Coulson nodded, knowing he would do the same with Clint. 'Okay, that's settled then. Everyone else, you will get debriefed on any missions later, right now I need to catch Skye and Tasha up to speed.

'So your name is..'

'Skye Daniels'

'And you want to join shield because..'

'Hydra killed my family, I want to stop them from hurting anyone else.'

'Where did you learn to fight?'

'I took self defence in high school, because I was attacked by some drunk, I have been keeping fit ever since.'

'Good, now who am I, how do you know me?'

'You're Tasha, you're-'

'No! you don't know me, you have never met me. When we meet, I will be Miss Romanov. I am your teacher. You know me in the classroom, no where else. I am not your friend. I am not your girlfriend. I am Natasha Romanov and you are nothing to me, just another face in my class,' Tasha said in a cold, emotionless tone.

Skye blinked back tears, trying to hide that, despite not being real, the words hurt, they stung her to her core.

'Hey, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to prepare you for the mission.' Tasha's tone softened.

'I know, just remind me to never piss you off. That was scary,' she joked.

Tasha chuckled, before catching herself, and smoothing her face.

'I'm serious though, you can't seem familiar with me. Everyone will know I am with shield, Hydra and not. But if you act like you know me, you become a target. From Hydra, you are a shield agent, a threat. From the other students, you are cheat, I'm honestly serious, if people think you're only there because of who you know and not what you can do, they will seek you out, and ruin the academy experience, make it hell for you.'

Skye nodded, serious now.

'Okay, but we should start now, get into the mode, I need practice or people will know,' Skye added.

Tasha nodded, agreeing with Skye, she would need to get used to this.

Skye got up and left, walking to the living area, where Trip, Fitz and Simmons were watching a Bond film.

'Hey guys, you mind if I watch?'

Trip looked up and smiled, before replying,

'Sure, you could probably kick my ass of the couch if I said no,' with a wink.

'So Skye, when were you gunna tell us about you and Tasha? I don't know how you thought you could keep it from us, you live with spies,' Simmons asked with a grin.

Simmons sat there in shock when Skye turned to her, looked her dead in the eye and asked in a curious tone,

'I'm sorry, who's Tasha?'
