Chapter 11

Bethany was woken up by her alarm clock. She had up it on the floor at the end of her bed so she would have get out of bed to turn it off. Stumbling out of bed she managed to find her alarm clock. Turning her it off she watched on her light so she wouldn't have to get changed in the dark. After changing into her gym clothes, she quietly left her bunk so not to wake anyone. On her way to the kitchen she saw Ward coming out of Skye's bunks.

"Morning Ward." Bethany grinned at him as looked like a deer caught in the head lights. "You know polite to say morning back."

"Yeah...ummm...Morning." Ward ran his hand has hair not knowing what to say. He just wanted to go back into Skye bunk and wait for Bethany to start her training.

"I'm 13, trust me I know what you and Skye, FitzSimmons and, as much as I don't want to say it, my parents are doing at night." Bethany said heading in the direction on the kitchen.

Ward watched Bethany leave when Skye came out of her own bunk and walked straight into his back. "Grant, I thought you were going to get changed for our training session."

"Ummm….." Ward turned around to face her, "What did you say?"

"I said I thought you were going to get changed for our training session." Skye repeated, "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, it just Bethany saw me coming out of your bunk felt like I had been caught in the act by my little sister."

Skye giggled at him, "She kinda is our little sister if you think about it."

Ward groaned, she was right Bethany was practically their little sister. He could either not let it bother him or he could wake up early. He was leaning more towards the first option since enjoyed every moment he could get with Skye in his arms. Bring himself back to reality he snaked his arms around Skye's waist, quickly glancing around to make sure no one was watching, he softly kissed Skye.

"Realised your just going to have to get used to Bethany catching out of each other's bunk since we start our training sessions at the same time?" Skye smirked at him.

"Yes. It's just going to take some time to get used to it." Ward replied.

"Well I'd do it quickly. I'll meet you down in the cargo bay." Skye tapped his shoulder as he walked past him.

***A.O.S***

Bethany and May were meditating when Skye reached the cargo bay. Bethany smirked when she realised it was Skye's footsteps she could hear coming down the stair case.

"Concentrate Bethany." May said.

Bethany stopped smirking and started to concentrate on her breathing. She was in a state of concentration that she didn't even hear Ward join Skye to start her training. For the last hour of their training Bethany and Skye spared against each other. Since Bethany knew martial arts, she pinned Skye more than Skye could Bethany. As May and Ward watched them, they analysed their techniques so they could plan on what they needed to work on during their training sessions.

"Alright, Beth go shower then have some breakfast before you start your school work." May instructed. Bethany helped Skye off the floor before running off.

"You did good, Skye." Ward handed her bottle of water to her.

"I just got my ass handed to me by a kid." Skye huffed.

"You need to use her weaknesses against her." May explained to Skye.

"What are her weaknesses?" Skye asked.

"Her strength," Ward said, "She tried to flip you a couple of time of but her doesn't have the strength to do that."

"She was just so fast and agile on her feet. She's like super ninja."

"Yeah a ninja whose done ballet and I'm guessing gymnastics." Ward looked at May for conformation.

"She did gymnastics from the age of 3 to 10 and she stopped dancing…."May didn't finish her sentence. "I think it might be a good for you and Beth to spare about once a month."

"Yeah hopefully next time I won't spend so much time on the floor." Skye said giving May a smile. May gave a small nod before walking away.

Skye watched her leave May didn't have to finish her sentence for Skye to know when the last time Bethany had danced, it was written all over her face. Turning her attention back to what her boyfriend was doing, she crossed her arms across her chest watching Ward up the mats away.

"Are you just going to watch or are you going to help me?" Ward said with his back to her.

"How? Do you have eyes in the back of your head or something?" Skye remarked.

"No I just know you too well." Ward walked over Skye wrapping his arms around her waist. "I also know what you're thinking about."

"Really?" Skye smirked up at him, "What would that be?"

Ward grinned at her before picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder. "Grant! Put me down." Skye playfully squealed. Ward ignored her cries and carried her up to the showers.

***A.O.S***

Bethany had her head buried in her school work when Skye sat across from her. Bethany was sitting at the little table when Skye and Ward would play Battleships. Skye quietly and watched the teenage do her work as she scanned the books that litter the table to see what subject Bethany was taking. Bethany could see Skye watching her out of the corner of her eye, she was actually surprised Skye had yet to say anything. It wasn't normal for Skye to be this quite.

"I'm surprised you've managed not to say anything get." Bethany said without look up from her work book.

"I didn't want to disturb you." Skye replied

"What can I do for you?" Bethany put her work book down and relaxed back in the chair.

"Not much I just wanted to see how you were you doing." Skye answered.

"Ok. My teachers e-mail me once a week with everything they want me to do and I either have to send the work back to them or have mom or dad check it."

"Is it not hard not having a teacher around if you get stuck or don't understand what you supposed to be learning."

"Kind of, I've already had to ask mom to help me a couple of times." Bethany told Skye, "However I get to work at my own pace and decide what subject I'm going to be doing for the day so it's not so bad."

"What do you normally do after school?" Skye asked.

Bethany looked at Skye, tilting her head to the side she studied the hacker. "I go home and do whatever fell like doing."

"Do you dance a lot?"

Bethany looked down at the ground, it had been a while since she danced. Dancing always made her feel free but it hadn't been working recently so she stopped. "I don't dance." Bethany blurted out. She didn't know why she lied to Skye but she just didn't want to take about it. "Now, not that I don't like have our little talks but I should really get back to my school work."

"I'll see you later then." Skye left and watched Bethany from a distance. Skye could tell that bring up dancing was a sore subject. She watched as Bethany just sat there staring at the floor. It took almost twenty minutes before Bethany restarted her school work. Bethany noticed that the teenager looked at more distracted and was working much slower than she previously had had.

Later that night, Bethany sat on her bed holding her ballet shoes in her hands. It was late and she should have been asleep but she couldn't sleep. All she kept thing about was Skye comment about dancing. She guessed that Skye, Ward and her mother had spoken after she had left them in the cargo bay that morning. She presumed that her mother had told them that she did gymnastics and ballet. She couldn't quite workout why Skye's comment had affected her in the way that it did. Grabbing her ballet shoes and phone she made her way down to the cargo and thanked her lucky stars that no one saw her head down to the cargo bay.

Sitting on the floor of the cargo bay Bethany played some instrumental pieces of music that she had danced to in the past. She listened to the music as she put her shoes on. She kept looking up at the walkway above her to make sure her music hadn't drawn anyone attention. Standing up she wiggled her toes and stretched her arms up above her head.

She found it hard for the first couple of minutes as she had too much going around in her head. She tended to perform her best when she was relaxed and manages to clear her mind. Before long she was in the right head space that allowed her body to flow with the music. She had been so much n her own head space that hear or notice her parents on the walk way watching her.

May and Coulson had been in the kitchen getting some supper when they heard music being played from somewhere within the plane. They assumed it was Skye since the hacker had occasionally in the past played her music to loud but the music they were hearing wasn't Skye's. Following the sound of the music they found Bethany dancing in the cargo bay. Earlier in the day, May and Coulson had talked about Skye and Bethany's sparing session and that's when Coulson found out how long it had been since their daughter had danced. Its broke his heart to learn that Bethany stopped dancing when she learnt of his death. It was Coulson who took Bethany to her first ballet so to learn that she has stopped the thing that made her the most happy crushed him.

Leaning on the railing, May and Coulson smiled down at their Daughter. They clapped as Bethany finished her dance slightly startling her. Bethany looked up to her parents watching her.

"How long have you been standing there?" Bethany asked.

"Not long." May informed her.

Bethany watched as her parents made their way down to her. She stared at her feet in slight embarrassment. She had hoped that no one would have caught her but she was glad it was her parents more than anyone else.

"Do you want to dance?" Bethany looked up to see her father standing in front of her with his arm outstretched.

Nodding Bethany took his hand and they began to sway in beat with the music. May on the bottom step as her watched the father and daughter dance. May couldn't help but smile as it always remind her of how Coulson would dance with Bethany when she couldn't get to sleep when she was little girl.
