Skye and Jo

by G.D. Moreau

Skye and Jo have been together since Jo was 6 and alone on the streets; so when S.H.I.E.L.D finds them will Coulson and his team warm up to them? Jo's always had a knack for anything espionage and she thinks it might have something to do with her parents, whoever they are. All Skye and Jo have is each other, so if the team manages to warm up to them can they do the same?

7. Chapter 7 New Home?

Chapter 7 Skye and Jo

Skye's POV

"Hey, no joy rides that's our home" I told the shield agent (half joking half serious).

There were all sorts of agents bustling about the runway before take-off, and I found it crazy that there could be so many SHIELD agents, especially for it just being one of the many bases.

"That won't be a problem ma'am" one of the agents assured me, and as he stuck a triangular item on the hood of the car it had turned on and driven itself away.

Jo and I each had a small box of personal belongings, but apart from that all we had was ourselves to get onto the B.U.S.

Fitz and Simmons took my laptop that apparently, 'is a wonder you were even able to hack at all with such a un- advanced model', and the people at the SHIELD base were getting Jo new uniforms for the field.

It was nearly 6 years old, just running off of self-done repairs which weren't very well done considering I didn't have any actual training in taking apart and repairing electronics.

Jo's suit as well was nearly 3 years old and starting to get to small and even brand new wasn't as functionally able as some of the SHIELD uniforms.

Meeting room: B.U.S

Coulson's POV

"You put me on here for risk assessment and they're risks! Skye and Jo are two people hell bent on taking us down and we didn't even know that Jo might as well be the next freaking karate kid and-" I cut Ward off.

"Well we know now. And Skye hacked shield... from her laptop... Twice! Imagine what she'll do with are resources!" I explained.

It still surprised me how specialists were all very hard hearted and SHIELD doesn't even have the worst of them, take Natasha for example, when we found her she was from the Red Room and the glares she gave even made Barton uncomfortable.

"That's exactly what I'm imagining during this frown!" Ward emphasized the look by pointing to his face.

"They're going to be a part of the team that's final but your frown will be on record and since you seem to be so keen on the girls you get to be the one to make sure they don't step out of line"

"Yes sir" he answered through gritted teeth and walked off; no doubt to go beat up a punching bag.

I sighed and started looking around the bunks, and entire upper level for anybody but no one was there, 'what the hell?'

I was starting to get hysterical by the time I heard a loud grunt and somebody falling smack down onto the floor from the training room.

I prepared myself for the worst; hostile forces taken over and only May, Ward, and possibly Jo were there to help while Fitz, Simmons, and Skye tried their best to do something.

"What the hell is going on here?" I yelled when I saw Jo and Ward circling each other in fighting stance while the others watched like it was a boxing match on TV.

"I was uh, evaluating her skills sir" Ward tried while turning to face me for a second.

Jo took this as an opportunity to take him down with a single blow, "more like making friends with the floor" Skye laughed as Jo stayed quiet with a hint of a smirk on her face.

Ward attempted to regain some dignity by sweeping his foot out and trying to trip Jo a move which she expertly dodged with a back handspring.

"Nice try Ward but you can't take her down when she's in the zone" Skye commented after she landed.

"Since I won do I get to fight May now?" Jo asked to nobody in particular.

"Maybe later Coulson's you know… here" Ward said as he got up and gestured in my direction.

"Actually I want to see this" I said and walked over to where Fitz, Simmons, and Skye were sitting and sat down beside them.

"I got this" May confidently announced and walked over to the mats that were set up.

Jo's POV

"She says that now" Ward muttered from the area they were all sitting at watching May and I spar.

We both dropped into fighting stance and waited for the other to make the first move; I tried to stay confident in my skills but I could just tell she was going to be harder to beat than Ward, when I hadn't even broken a sweat.

I shifted my stance a little so it looked like I was getting ready for a kick with my right foot but at the last minute kicked with my left.

She was caught a little of guard but still managed to block the punch; as I expected, I'll have to work a lot harder to beat her.

Then she threw a forceful punch towards my head which I blocked by grabbing her fist and throwing it towards the ground with all my strength.

It was so forceful it made her stumble slightly and that was all I needed to pin her down in a way that she couldn't flip us over no matter how much she struggled.

Then I got off her and offered my hand for her to get up; which wasn't entirely just me being nice because I know her type of fighting, and she won't take my hand unless she intends to knock me down.

As expected she stared at my hand for a second like it was a grenade and then took it, but when she got to the right point she pulled me down as she got up.

I somersaulted forward and then quickly got up to face her; just in time to duck and dodge the front leg snap kick aimed at my head.

I countered by sweeping my arm out under her legs with enough force to knock her down again.

"Alright… if you two are done we're going to Peru to check out an O84" Coulson announced trying to hide the astonishment out of his voice.

May went off to pilot the plan and Coulson went into his office to speak with Ward which left us in a very uncomfortable silence.

Skye's POV

I broke the silence after a second "What's an O84?" I asked.

"An object of unknown origin, these are usually always dangerous so you're going to need to follow orders, unlike you're used to." Ward huffed and walked away.

"Okay robot, I will" I sarcastically snapped back once he was out of earshot "He seems nice" I spoke to FitzSimmons".

"Oh he isn't, but Ward's right, O84s are dangerous; we'll probably be analysing samples of the area" Simmons started.

"While you'll stand guard with May and Ward" Fitz finished, both of them looking to Jo at the end.

The whole mentally linked thing was going to take a while to get used to, I concluded, especially after I saw Jo roll her eyes.

"Since we've got a few hours, want to go over your new laptop?" Fitz asked.

"Yes!" I replied, popping up from my seat; finally something familiar!

"Your combat suits should have been delivered to the common area; did you want to go look over them?" Simmons asked Jo, as she too stood up.

"Sure" I was surprised to hear Jo say; she always prefers to be left alone (with the exception of me) so the fact that she had willingly agreed to do this with Simmons gave me hope that this could really be our new home.

Hey guys! All done revising my old chapters and should be updating new ones soon!
