Battleship: SHIELD

Spoilers: All of Season 1 of Agents of SHIELD

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Skye woke to the sound of small beeps, she opened her eyes and saw the bracelet Coulson had given her blinking randomly. Moving her wrist closer to her face she watched the heads of the flowers blinking as if trying to send a message. Her eyes widened and turned over to see Ward standing by the window looking at the ground below. No doubt the newest of recruits were training outside so blood didn't get everywhere.

"Ward…" she held up her wrist as her other hand clutched the sheet to her chest. He moved over to her and took her wrist, looking at the lights. "What does it mean?"

He sat down and tapped the flowers in a pattern, "get dressed and packed, they're coming for us."

"Are you sure?"

Ward moved over to the cabinet and removed their bags, placing them on the end of the bed. "It said 'be ready, coming to you' and we don't know when they'll arrive."

Skye dug through her bag for clothes and quickly got dressed while Ward started collecting their belongings. He dug into her pillow case and produced her badge, throwing it in her bag along with the clothes on the floor by the bed from the night before. "Where is my bra?" She looked around and Ward chuckled, that caused the rookie agent to put her hands on her hips and stared at him. "Wanna share what's so funny?"

"Remember last night and you'll find it."

Her eyes went wide and she smirked, "right, remember that now. You know, I didn't except that you'd actually try to make seducing me a lesson in escaping binds." Bending beside the bed, she looked down on the floor and found what she was looking for.

"I actually showed great restraint," he watched her glare at him from beside the bed, eyes almost level with the mattress. "I've had you in a bed beside me for close to five months, close enough I could have seduced you on your first night."

Standing up with bra in hand, she shoved it in her bag and shook her head. "For your information, I could have resisted your techniques if I wanted to. Remember, I was lethal then and I'm lethal now."

Ward pulled her to him by the arm, "yes you are but you're also just Skye." Bending down, he kissed her gently and cupped her cheek while staring into her eyes. "Don't forget that."

"I won't and you'll remind me if I do." She broke away and grabbed her laptop, shoving it into her bag and looked around. "Your book, don't forget that."

An alarm went off as Ward threw her vest at her and she put it on. He shoved the book into her bag and zipped it, handing it out to her as he pulled his on. "Be ready at all times, Garrett is going to think we'll defend him."

Skye gave a gentle nod and spoke, "long live SHIELD."

"Long live SHIELD." Ward repeated and followed her out of the room.

Agents were moving down the halls with weapons and gear, their uniform patches red with the HYDRA symbol verses the black SHIELD symbol. Skye held her gun in her hand and went ahead of Ward, weaving through agents as they made their way to central key positions. Getting to the meeting hall, they saw Garrett about ready to set a bomb while Raina and Quinn destroyed all the hard drives.

"Ward," Garrett looked up to see them. "SHIELD just arrived, more men than we have. Get Skye out there and have her take them out."

Skye raised her gun and fired it at Raina and Quinn till both dropped. "Long live SHIELD, death to HYDRA."

Garrett looked at her and smirked, "it all makes sense now but I have to say I'm impressed. Never has a Level 1 been so audacious to infiltrate an enemy organization and actually survive. You lasted longer than most would have, which means you're a great agent. However my dear, much to Ward's pain that will come, it means you must be taken out."

"Sir…"

"Sorry son, she's the enemy and knowing you are unable to stand this, why don't you say a quick goodbye and step out." Garrett pulled a gun from the table, "I'll make it painless for her I promise."

The sounds of gunfire grew closer and Skye raised her gun higher to shoot at Garrett till the doors were thrown open and Coulson entered with May and Trip. Ward raised his gun and pointed it at Garrett.

"Long live SHIELD, death to HYDRA." Garrett's face turned to shock when he looked up at Ward.

"You too…"

"From the beginning, as you said I had something to fight for."

Coulson moved over and as he did, as if in slow motion Garrett raised the weapon and aimed it. Before a shot could be taken, they watched as the bullet from Garrett's gun hit their main agent. The sound after the gunshot was a scream just as Hill and her team arrived in the room.

"NO!" Skye turned from where Ward laid shot to Garrett, she fired her gun without a care how many times she pulled the trigger. As Garrett fell, Skye fell beside Ward and put her hands to the wound.

May bent down and pulled the bag from Ward's back as Trip started pulling medical equipment from his own bag.

"No, hold on." Skye looked at Ward and he groaned as she pushed against the wound. "Please hold on, please Ward." She felt hands under her arms trying to pull her away. "No, no don't make me leave…"

"Keep her safe..." Ward looked at Coulson as he spoke, coughing blood as he did. The lead agent nodded and pulled Skye away, she struggled as he did so.

Trip pressed against the wound but they watched as Ward stopped breathing, chest going still. The agents in the room seemed to freeze as they realized what happened, Coulson kept ahold of Skye as she sank to her knees practically screaming in pain.

"NO! No, please no."

Coulson looked at Skye and shook her, "get it together Skye…come on."

In that moment of agonizing pain, Skye felt an odd sensation run through her. The urge to destroy everything despite it being her family. She wanted nothing more than to break apart into a million pieces as her heart was shattering. Heat filled her hands and she looked down to see her palms glowing blue.

She shook her head and looked at Coulson, "I found my trigger…I know what it is."

"What trigger? Skye, no Garrett deserved what he got."

She put up her blood-soaked hands and Coulson saw the blue light softly coming from her palms. Her voice shaky as she spoke. "No, my trigger…it was Ward, it was someone else I love dying. Get them out, go get them out."

"Skye…"

"GO!" She looked at them all, "I'm an 0-8-4 that's just been triggered, I don't know what I'll do to you."

Hill watched and immediately spoke into her radio, "0-8-4 identified, everyone clear the area as far back as you can. This is a direct order from Director Hill, clear the area immediately." She looked at Coulson, "go that's an order."

"Everyone out!" Coulson looked at his team members and May was pulling Trip away from Ward, pushing him out the door and Hill followed.

Skye looked up at Coulson, "go please, I lost Ward and I can't think about harming the only father I've ever had." Tears filled her eyes and she smiled at him, "please go."

Coulson stood up and looked at her, despite the blue glow growing on her skin and up her arms. "We love you."

"I know, don't forget me."

"Never." With that, Coulson walked out and Skye moved over to Ward.

Looking down at the man before her, Skye whispered. "My family was SHIELD, I'm not alone anymore because I know I'm loved." Looking once more at Ward she smiled, "I love you Grant…I'm sorry I failed you."

Closing her eyes, Skye let the sensation of being swallowed whole by a heavy force take over before she felt like she was breaking into a thousand pieces. She knew there was nothing she could do so she just thought about her family and being on the Bus. Of Upwords around the table with the team, Fitz with all his tech, Simmons with her jokes and May with her rare hugs. Skye let herself think of Coulson and the fatherly talks he had with her and most of all Ward…Grant. His training, his games of battleship with her and the five months she got to love him.

"G4." Skye smiled as the location slipped out of her mouth and she felt like she was shattering into a hundred billion pieces before darkness consumed her.

Outside the huge building, all agents and detained HYDRA agents watch as a huge blue wave spread out like a tsunami. The wave blew everyone back a few steps and shattered windows, trees and cars knocked over from the strength of it. The entire team just stared in shock in the aftermath, the realization that the innocent girl they'd been harboring had been a force of unknown power.

A/N: Okay so recap...Ward is dead and Skye seemed to unleash a monster power wave that did a lot of damage.

Where does SHIELD and team go from here? Anyone want to guess?

And YES they did sleep together Skyeward fans.

BTW due to tomorrow being a holiday I won't be posting anything until Saturday...not sorry about it though.
