Connections 7

( Seven in the morning)

Clint woke up next to Natasha in their small room in the Red invaders secret base, he looked to his partner and she smiled " Happy Birthday Clint." she gave him a quick kiss on the lips that he smiled into. " Thanks Nat." he said as the kiss stopped. Skye went to the gym for her daily warm up when she discovered a blonde haired man beating the punching bags like they were paper. She was surprised since usually it would be just her and either Director Fury or Maria Hill who would push her to her limits in sparring, the man sensed her and turned to her "You must be Agent Skye Walker... I am captain Steve Rogers, Both Director Fury and Maria Hill were unavailable for training this morning and asked me to fill in."

Skye stood impassive just surveying the man also known as Captain America, "Very Well..." she finally says as she drops her duffle bag on the nearby bench, Steve watched her as she moved to the punching bag he vacated and wrapped her hands. Skye executes her punches perfectly and Steve just watches her, she excels the speed of her punches to the point that he is impressed she hasn't passed out. "How long have you been training to be a agent?" he asked as he steadied the bag for her, her concentration broke and she immediately stopped punching the bag. Skye grabbed her water bottle and took a few sips her face shining with sweat as she finally spoke " Three and a half months." she moved to the pull up bars and immediately started using them. Steve stared at her in shock and said " Three and a half months and your already at level six ? How is that even possible?"

Skye grunted as she pushed herself to do the pull ups as she replied " My brother is Agent Clint Barton." Steve raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms a little skeptic before he asked "Your Hawkeye's younger sister? Wow never knew he had one." Skye jumped off the pull up bars and shrugged " He is my big brother he protects me by not mentioning me... Anyways Director Fury and Agent Colson found out that he had trained me up to level three techniques and with my skill set Director Fury gave me a special offer that I agreed to. So here I am with the Director as my S.O and getting trained by the best of the best in every field." she said impassively and Steve sighed before asking " Well why don't we see how your hand to hand combat is doing then." Skye walked over to the mats and waited for Steve to engage her in combat, Steve punched at her stomach careful as to not put his full strength into it.

Skye dodged the hit and sent her fist at him, Steve blocked and swung his leg quickly at her making her back flip away from him. They calculated each other's movements and for half a hour they were at each other's throats neither of them knowing that both Director Fury and Maria Hill are watching them from the Directors office through the security feed. " They are in perfect sink with each other's techniques Sir," Says Maria hill eye brow raised and lips pursed, "She is very much like her brother a natural at fighting and a quick learner." Replied Director Fury watching the Avenger and his Rookie spar and do it in perfect sync, "I hate to say this but Barton's sister may be better than Romanoff." says Maria arms crossed.

Director Fury sighed "Barton won't allow his sister to become a assassin... He's too protective of her and to be honest he doesn't know that she is training to be a shield agent because I waited till Barton and Romanoff left for their undercover mission before I brought her into Shield." he replied and Maria's head snapped in his direction in shock and horror as she spoke "You brought Barton's sister into SHIELD with out discussing it with him? I am sorry to say this director but... Do you have a death wish!? If he kept SHIELD from knowing about her for the eight years he has big brother instincts and I have a feeling he will be raging like Hulk when he comes back and finds his sister a full blown shield agent and that you taught her." her eyes were showing emotion that Fury rarely sees it was amusement.

"Maria what is your opinion on putting Steve and Skye as partners in the field?" he asks taking a seat at his desk, Maria raises her eyebrow and takes a seat in front of his desk " It's a interesting proposition sir... But my professional opinion is to wait till she has finished her training before partnering her with a Avenger Sir." she replies and he leans back in his chair hand clasped in front of him, "I see your point and I am inclined to agree ... Now let's go break them up before one puts the other on the mats and ruins the perfect tie." he says. In the gym Skye launches herself at Steve making him dodge and then pin her on the mats. "Not bad Agent Skye." says Steve with a smirk and just then Director Fury's voice is heard making them both jump to their feet "Great Sparring Match Captain Rogers... Rookie." Both of them look to see Maria and Nick Fury, "Thank you Sir." said Skye hiding the smile upon her face. "Your becoming as good as Barton, thank you for your help today Captain Rogers." Steve smiled and left the room leaving Skye to think about how much fun she just had, she looked foreword to sparring with the famous Captain America in the future.
