Codename: Battleship

Spoilers: AU but can consider all Season One episodes. Read Battleship: SHIELD to understand or you WILL BE LOST.

Disclaimer: I own nothing at all except Naomi

Skye paced the small cabin that she shared with Ward on the Bus and it was entirely small but they made it work. She'd just been handed her first solo mission and she was trying to remember everything by memory so she requested time alone to go over it. Ward was too busy anyways as he was currently teaching a certain five year old how to tie her shoes. Naomi had become so attached to them that Hill hadn't been able to place her with another family, she'd just begun living on the Bus with the team.

A knock on the door made Skye slid it open to see the smiling face of Naomi, clearly happy about something. "I do shoe." The young mind was learning English slowly and knew enough that she was able to be understood.

Looking down at the shoes attached to small feet Skye found messy misshaped loops but it was the first time that she'd accomplished them by herself. "You did such a good job, I'm proud of you." Skye instantly pulled the girl into her arms and held her, Naomi just kept smiling.

"She wanted to show you, was insistent." Ward stood in the doorway of their bunk with his arms folded. "I tried to tell her you were busy."

Waving him off she looked at Naomi, "I bet by the time I get back from my trip you'll have them absolutely perfect."

"No go."

"I have to go, it's my work but Daddy and everyone else will be here the whole time. In a few days you'll see the land again and I'll be walking back into the plane…I promise."

Naomi looked at Ward, silently asking him if Skye was telling the truth. She'd associated Ward as her father by making a connection while watching cartoons, a character called her father 'Daddy' and instantly Naomi started calling him by the term as well. Coulson had just chuckled and May let a smirk go while Fitzsimmons merely smiled at the sight of a befuddled and confused Ward.

"She'll be back." Ward immediately grabbed Naomi from her arms and held her gently, tickling her belly to make the girl erupt in a giggling fit.

Skye watched in fascination because in the six months since Naomi had been found, Grant Ward had been helpless to abandon the tiny girl. He sat with her when she got the flu, refusing to leave despite eventually developing it himself. He made her meals fun by creating pictures out of the food to the point he'd been banned from making meals other than lunches. The man was enthralled in fatherhood, instantly embracing the girl as his own and would often do more parenting than Skye herself. It had shocked the entire team when a simple cut from falling in the cargo bay had made the calm specialist frantic as if the tiny girl would die from a simple cut. They'd seen the lone specialist transform into a father and fiancé who was in love with his tiny family, often hesitant about receiving missions.

"Okay you two, I still have a lot I need to memorize so why don't you take the giggle fest elsewhere?" She received as kiss from Ward before the door was shut, giggles escaping outside the small bunk.

Standing in the cargo bay about ready to get into the SUV to leave, Skye stood talking to Ward and Coulson about going under as a CS specialist to get information on a Triad that had become nearly as big as a terrorist organization.

"Skye!" Skye turned when she heard a tiny voice call her name. She found Naomi by the stairs with Simmons, the scientist had an apologetic look on her face. "No go!"

Before Skye could speak, a small force was locked around her leg, bending down as much as possible with a girl wrapped around her Skye smiled. "I have to but I'll be back before you know it, I promise."

"No go!" The girl's voice got louder and instantly Ward was pulling Naomi off of her, holding her as Skye stood up. "No go!"

Coulson nodded, "good luck, we'll see you in a week."

"Keep safe." Ward's words were void of emotion, something he often used when a mission came up to separate 'Agent Grant Ward' from the man who had a family.

She gave a simple nod and looked at Naomi, "behave for Daddy, I'll see you in a week. I love you."

"No go! NO GO!" Naomi started kicking her legs and screaming as Skye got into the SUV, preparing to pull out of the Bus. She started the engine and saw Ward having to wrestle Naomi as the girl threw a temper tantrum, crying and screaming because she couldn't get her way. As she backed out and paused to turn the SUV, she saw Ward picking Naomi up despite her temper tantrum to take her upstairs.

Smiling as she made a U turn, Skye allowed herself to forget her daughter and fiancé to become the woman they called Battleship. She'd be going undercover in a computer hacker in Los Angeles, she'd have to find Miles in order to get her undercover and that would be a task in and of itself.

Three days in and Skye found herself no closer to getting into the Triad for information. She was pissed and finding Miles was easy but he refused to talk to her so she found herself having to resort to desperate measures. So early morning when she knew he'd be sleeping, she found herself braking into his apartment and putting a hand over his mouth, his eyes went wide as he tried to speak.

"No you listen, you screwed me over a year ago and now you're going to help me. So shut up and listen!" She backed away and wiped her hand on her black pants, he sat up and looked at her as she stood feet away. "Li Cong Triad, get me in by noon or I slap another tracking bracelet on your wrist. I haven't mentioned the fact that you're without one since SHIELD fell but with it up again, I'll slap another one on." She removed one from her pocket, "this one won't be coming off ever either."

Miles stared at her, "who are you because you aren't Skye, you're acting like that tool bag that interrogated us."

"They call me Battleship but I'm definitely Skye, field agent and SHIELD's most valuable asset." She folded her arms, "the director's words not mine, now get me in or this goes on your wrist for the rest of your life."

He stood up and walked into the living room of his apartment, "how'd you find me?"

"You're so predictable, that's how." She followed and examined the room to find it void of anything. "Plus I have top level security clearance, we have access to anyone if we need to find them."

"Li Cong Triad isn't a place for you," he sat down on the couch. "You maybe a…whatever you are but you can't fight, they'll tear you apart."

Skye moved to the door, "you have until noon or you'll be attached to the bracelet the rest of your life." She was gone before he could say another word.

Getting back to her motel, she prepared for bed and took the time to call Ward as she laid trying to fall asleep. His voice filled the phone and she instantly smiled as she heard the love of her life greet her.

"We miss you."

Skye rolled over and held the phone to her ear, "how's Naomi, did she settle down her little fit after lunch yesterday? Coulson said that she got upset because Simmons accidently threw out her ice cream bowl before she was finished."

"Took two hours and a bribe of Lion King from May but she did. I can't figure out who was more engrossed in the film: Naomi or Fitzsimmons. I never want to hear Fitz try to sing again, the man can't carry a tune."

"Think of what Simmons has to put up with?" Skye laughed and closed her eyes. "I finally had to force Miles to listen to me, he then called me a tool bag, referencing you when he did so. I think you're rubbing off on me."

Ward's chuckle was heard through the line. "Maybe a little but I know a lot that he couldn't even begin to understand. You aren't just Skye the Hacktavist anymore but he doesn't know that."

"Yeah, we'll keep the whole Asgardian princess thing hidden away. I mean, despite the title and Thor claiming me as his cousin, I'm no princess."

"If anyone is the princess, its Naomi…everyone treats her like one."

Skye shook her head, "who is the ring leader though, huh? If anyone gives her what she wants it's her Daddy, it's practically impossible for you to use the word 'no' in concern to her."

"I do too say no."

"Yeah, name one time?" Skye smirked when he was quiet. "I thought so. I still love you though."

"I love you too." Ward seemed distracted as he spoke. "I have to go, another crayon emergency."

A/N: Aww...Daddy Ward! Okay so Skye is on a mission and she's having to deal with Miles again. Do you think he'll be shocked when she has to whip out her training?

Next we see Skye in the Triad and being identified as the enemy, having to fight her way out but is there an extraction order or not?
