Morwen pov

It's already crowded as we enter the club, but we manage to find a table near the dance floor. I order five tequilas and we chatter while sipping from the alcohol. "What about some competition?" Fitz says, already a bit tipsy. Well, he can't handle alcohol, like, at all.. "Sure." Ward agrees. I give him a playful push with my elbow.. "I didn't know you were such a party animal?" He rolls his eyes. "First one to drink five shots doesn't have to do paperwork next case." We all take the bet. I don't think it's a good idea for Fitz to participate but I order 25 shots anyways. It's not like we have time to party a lot. Besides, there's no way he'll make it past his second shot. The little classes of alcohol are placed on the table. Five for each. Simmons starts counting. We all hold our hand close to the first glass. "One.. Two.. Three, go!" I quickly drink the first one. The bitter fluid burns in my throat as I take the second and third glass and drink them. Before I can reach my fourth, Ward shouts "Done!" I look at him amazed. "Seems like you're doing the paperwork." He teases Fitz, who was still at his first shot. A song of Avicii starts playing, so I grab Skye and Ward and pull them towards the dance floor. "Morwen, no," Skye laughs. "I'd better stay with Fitzsimmons." I pout, but shrug and take as many shot glasses as I can carry instead. Ward willingly joins me in the crowd. We drink another shot. I giggle. "What's so funny?" "We've not even been here for an hour and I'm a bit tipsy already." He laughs and hold me at my hips. "Don't worry, I got you when you'll fall." I roll my eyes at him. Clearly he's more drunk than I am. We start dancing to the beat. Our bodies touch occasionally, making me smile a little each time. I forget about time and space as we dance together, drinking the last shots. His hands never leave my hips, keeping me close to him.

The music slows down. We take a breath as we move slower now. Our chest brush against each others as we dance. He pulls me closer, one hand on my back to hold me tight. I look up at him and smile. He bows his head and kisses me, not even trying to do it tenderly. He softly bites my lip as he pulls back. His eyes glimmer with joy. We dance closer now, driven by the music and the alcohol. He smirks and presses his lips at the front of my neck. I feel his hot breath against my skin, making me shiver. Then a sting follows. I step back, breaking our closeness in my surprise. He smirks even wider but I end his arrogance with my hand. It hits him hard in the face, a full force bitchslap. I march back to the table, informing the others briskly before heading towards the exit. I'm not in the mood to wait for a response but walk back to the hotel immediately. From the corner of my eyes I see Fitz walking over to a shocked-looking Ward, taking him back to the hotel too. I finally reach my room and throw myself on one of the beds. I close my eyes, ignoring the spinning of everything around me, and hope to sleep without any nightmares. The alcohol in my system luckily agrees. I drift off into a deep sleep even before the other girls have entered the room.

I don't have a hangover the next morning. I whistle out of happiness as I walk towards the hotel's dining room. The rest of the team, except Fitz, is already there. The poor kid probably has the worst hangover ever. I get myself some waffles and join the others. The conversation falls silent. "Well, you sure have a way of making remarkable entrees at breakfast." Skye says, taking a bite of her donut. I look down, pretty sure I'm wearing my own clothes this time. I am indeed. "What's wrong?" May laughs, almost choking in her coffee. Then Jemma sees it too and a blush creeps up her face. "Guys, what's wrong?" I demand an answer. "You've got a hicky in your neck." May points at a spot in the middle of my neck, slightly to the side. "A pretty big one" Coulson adds. Isn't he supposed to be professional or something? I growl and cover it with my hand. That makes them laugh even more. "Girl gone wild last night?" Skye teases. All this time Ward was quite. He doesn't look at me, but continues eating like this conversation isn't even taking place. "It's nothing really" I try to convince them. Jemma luckily helps me "We slept in the same room. So she didn't go that wild." I'm really not comfortable with the team discussing my sex life. "It was just some jackass that thought it would be funny to give me that mark. It won't happen again." At this, Ward looks up. He gives me an apologizing look, but I ignore it. "How did he get to do it without your approval? You can handle a muscled mutant but not some guy from a club?" Skye isn't letting me go that easy. "I didn't exactly know what he was doing until it was too late okay." I shove my plate away and stand up. "I'm going for a walk, since we're still stuck on this damned island." I end this awkward conversation. I don't have an idea of where to go so I just start in a random direction. It leads me up the a hill, out of the city and away from the beach. After half an hour I'm in the middle of nowhere. I climb over volcanic stones, not following any path. I hear someone approaching and heighten my speed. The person behind me starts a little jog to keep up with me. "What do you want?" I shout as I turn around. Ward is several feet behind me. He looks sad and holds his hand up for forgiveness. "I'm sorry I did that to you. I was drunk and I regretted it as soon as it had happened. Please don't be mad" I start walking again. He joins me in silence. After a while he starts speaking again. "Are you mad?" I think about that a while. Am I mad? He did give me a hicky which led to embarrassment. However he didn't mean to do any harm and it will disappear eventually. "no, I'm not mad. But never, ever, do that again!" I warn him. He sighs in relieve. "Thank you for not telling them it was me." I shrug. "That wouldn't have been better for both of us." "I owe you." "Big time" We've reached a tree with some stones underneath it. I sit down, so does he. "I think I know how you can repay your dept." He does his beloved eyebrow raise. "Tell me" "I want to know the story behind agent Ward" That takes him by surprise. 'What do you want to know?" 'What drives you? What made you do this job? What do you enjoy about it so much? I want to know everything." It's silent for a while as he thinks of his answers. "My older brother used to hit me and my little brother. One day I decided I wanted to stand up against those people, to protect the weaker men. So I did. I joined shield to protect everyone, not just one person or only the United States, the whole world." I don't know what I was expecting, but certainly not that. I give him a hug. "Don't regret the past. It made you a wonderful person." I feel his head nod against my shoulder. I pull back and stare of in the distance. I'd never thought that such a hurt person would be hidden behind the tough agent he is. It makes me respect and care for him even more. I grab his hand, holding it in reassurance. "You're the best person I've ever met. You're funny, kind and caring.." "so this is what I get when I piss you off, compliments?" He jokes. "Then maybe you should get some more." He lifts me up and I scream in surprise. 'Ward, put me back! Don't you dare give me another one. This was embarrassing enough. Put me down!" He laughs and lets my feet to the ground again. I look up in his eyes. One arm is still wrapped around my shoulders. He rests his hand low on my back. I tiptoe to reach his face. He leans in and softly presses his lips on mine. I feel his breath warm my face and smile. What began as a little kiss, quickly deepens. I run out of breath way to soon and I'm forced to pull back. He looks me deep in the eyes. 'I'm afraid I might have fallen for you.' He smiles. Hearing that sentence makes my heart jump. I passionately kiss him again. I can't get myself to say I love him too. He slept with May, I won't forget anytime soon. Instead I kiss him again. He presses me even closer to him. I wrap my arms around his neck. 'My little warrior,' He whispers lovingly. I lean my head against his chest, hugging him tight. He returns it but breaks the moment by suggesting we head back again. We've been gone for quite a time, so the others might be waiting for us. I agree to head back, holding his hand on our way towards the beach again.

Skye pov

Ward and Morwen join us at the beach. They act casual, but something happened. I can see it in the twinkle of Morwens eyes. She's so going to tell me exactly what happened.. "The plane is almost ready." I tell them. May has been happy all morning. "We should be able to go on board again," She tells them. "So pack your bags." Jemma and Morwen help me clean up our room and pack our bags. I've lost half of my stuff, as usual, so it takes us a while. "How can you lose everything in just two days?" "I lived in a van, don't blame me for having to get used to big rooms." I joke, making Jemma laugh before she walks in the bathroom to clean it up. I plump on my bed and pull my knees up to my chest. "Morwen?" She looks up. "What happened?" Her eyes widen a bit. "What do you mean?" "With you and Ward. I know something happened," She frowns. "Ward hasn't come in to complain about how slow we are, yet. So yes, clearly something has happened." She chuckles and joins me on the bed. Her eyes twinkle again. "We talked." I roll my eyes. "Sure." "And he said he loved me." My jaw drops, I don't even try to hide my surprise. "You.. He.. You're a couple?" She blushes. "No, not official of course. Ward thinks Coulson wouldn't approve." "He didn't tell Coulson about May either." She bites her lip and looks down. "I know." "O, Morwen, I'm sorry. I didn't want to compare you to May." "It's okay. I've thought about that too." I hug her and quickly change the subject as Jemma walks in. "I thought I would never find that blouse again. Thanks!" I tell Morwen as I let go. She smiles and whispers a thank you. It takes us another hour to get ready. By then, May seems annoyed again. She takes off to control the plane again. I stay with Fitzsimmons in the lab, helping them with some improvements on the night night gun. I see Morwen throwing her knives. She seems happy, hitting the bulls-eyes every time. May joins her after a while and I leave the lab to watch them. They've started a combat training, this one's even more impressive than with Ward. Their speed and accuracy is amazing. The Cavalryand Morwen. Does she have a nickname? I think about funny and badass nicknames for the girl as I watch them. They're equally skilled, so it's a fair fight. It get ended by Coulson, announcing a new case. I get up my feet again and follow the rest of the team to the command centre.

Ward pov

Coulson announces a case. He makes wide gestures with his arms while he explains about it. I'm not paying full attention, my thoughts wander to Morwen. I think about our lovely moment, our shared kisses. A knot forms in my stomach as I remember saying I have fallen for her. She didn't say she loved me back. Because you slept with May, dumbass. I think to myself. How could I ever be so stupid? I try to block the negative thoughts and focus on Coulson's story. Apparently a frost giant once came to earth, leaving behind a pregnant women. Her kid has been on our watch for about thirty years. Coulson explains Hill wanted us to check on him, since they haven't heard of him for a few days. We're heading for Russia, where he's last seen. May leaves to change our flight plan.

It didn't take us long to arrive, since we were already flying above Denmark. We land near a small town and ride to it. "Skye, you're with Ward and I. Fitzsimmons, Morwen, you're with May," Coulson declares. "We'll go to his apartment, you search the town." We all nod and form teams. I follow Coulson to the large building. My hand lingers on my gun . "Second floor, room 301." Skye says, looking up from her cell phone. We walk the two stairs cautious . I draw my gun as we're reaching apartment 301. I hold it in front of me and kick the door open, going in first. It's dark, so I switch my flashlight on. I shine it around the apartment, making the beam shine on the furniture and closed curtains, before whispering "Clear." Then I catch a glimpse of something in the corner of the room. "Hold on." I walk towards the creature, shining my light on its chest not to blind him. "Thomson Grace?" He looks up. Creepy blue eyes stare at me from a blueish face. He looks like a normal man who has been stuck in a freezer. I let Skye kneel down next to him, whispering soothing words. Thomson seems to relax under her present, but I keep my gun aimed at him. She talks him into opening the curtains and sitting down on the couch. "What happened?" She asks, making a vague gesture around, meaning him sitting there terrified. "I lost control." He trembles. "Control of what?" "Myself." Coulson frowns and steps in. "Do you mean you used your abilities?" He nods. "Sir, I would like you to come to Headquarters with me." Again a nod. He has been in the system his whole life, he knows the drill. Coulson takes him by his shoulder and leads him out of the room. I place a soothing hand on Skye's arm, who looks troubled. "Does he have to be taken in? He looks so innocent." "It's safer. Besides, he agreed to go with us himself." She shrugs and follows the two man without responding. I call May to tell her we've found him. We arrive at the plane at the same time as the other team. As soon as we've taken off into the air again, I search for Morwen. Fortunately I bump into her in the living room. "Hey, do you have a moment?" "Sure, I'm trying to avoid another match of Battleship with Skye." She winks. We sit down on the couch and I put my arms around her shoulder, making her lean into me. "Something you wanted to talk about?" I lean back and relax. "Not really," I see her smile a little. "I just wanted to be with you before it's my turn to watch over the mutant." "His name is Thomson." She protests, making me roll my eyes. We sit together in silence, enjoying our own thoughts. My left side warms up where she's leaning. I bow my head and press my lips on her hear. I love you, little warrior. I think, before moving to stand up. "Got to go, mutant, excuse me Thomson, is waiting." I correct myself as I see her glare. She stick out her tongue, making me laugh as I walk away. I spend the whole afternoon in boredom, as watching Thomson means looking at the screen in the command center as he sits in the corner of the Cage. Morwen doesn't join me until dinner time. She brings me a sandwich in silence. I smile gratefully at her, but she doesn't stay. I can't blame her, watching someone sit isn't something I would choose to do. Finally May comes to take my place. I quickly thank her before walking off to Morwen's room. "Knock knock," I whisper trough the door, reminding the first time I barged into her room. "May I come in?" I don't get any response, so I just walk in. Morwen's eyes flutter open as I sit on her bed. "Did I wake you? I'm sorry." I stroke her cheak, feeling her warm breath against my skin. She reaches her hands out to me. "No, I'm awake." She mumbles, but I see the sleep in her eyes. I lean in, letting her hands pull me close. She moves her body a bit to make space for mine. She looks so innocent when she's sleepy. I lay down next to her on the blankets , letting them form a small barrier between our bodies. Every time we touch, I feel her unconscious resistance, so I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable with lying straight next to her. "Morwen?" She mumbles a vague yes. "Do you know what happened when you we're gone?" She slightly nods, already almost asleep. "You had sex with May while I was captured." I gasp for breath as hers slows, indicating she's sleeping again. My heart breaks as I see a single tear form in the corner of her eye. She was being tortured by centipede and all I thought off was May. I don't even love that women. My love lies with the girl here in my arms. It's still weird to hear myself think like that. I've loved her from the moment she first fell asleep next to me. "My little warrior". I kiss the corner of her eyes and taste the salty water of her tear. "Please don't cry," Her hands on my back clench and she pulls herself closer to me. I wrap my arms around her sleeping body. She curls up in a bal against my body. "I love you," I whisper in her hear, before planting a kiss on it. "Please don't blame me for the mistakes I've made." The heath of her body comforts me. Slowly I drift off into sleep.
