Chapter two

Skye POV

I woke up the following morning feeling a lot more cheerful than I had been for a long time. Ward wasn't the sort of person I needed to talk about feeling with. He was a robot and was immune to other people's feelings. Like mine and Fitz. It looked like May was a cyborg too, so talking to her was a different story. I changed into basic clothes and headed to Fitz bunk but I heard was his soft snores. He was knackered. I left him to sleep in a bit longer and headed down to the kitchen. Agent Lines was chatting with Simmons about a few devices he had created, something's he wanted to do to alter the night-night pistol.

I couldn't help the wave of disgust and anger at them both. Agent Lines because I didn't like him or his attitude and Simmons for hurting Fitz. Ward wasn't about so I made myself toast, putting some in for Fitz for when he woke. I was just spreading Jam into it when Fitz slumped into the room, bags under his eyes that wasn't surprising.

"There's toast in the toaster and there's the last of the orange juice cartons in the fridge." I pointed out, nodding my head to the items as I said it. He gruffer his thanks and grabbed the last carton, slipping it slowly before the toast popped up. He sat down next to me and ate very slowly. As so as I was done I washed up my stuff before putting them back in the designated spot.

"Talk at your bunk later?" I whispered, he nodded airily though I saw his demeanour had changed ever so slightly, he didn't look so weighed down as he had done before, that made me happy. I wanted him off the bus, he was probably going to do better off the bus, invent things people could only imagine. I wished that I could at lease join another team that wouldn't treat each other like dirt. I suddenly wondered how quickly me and Fitz suddenly got close. Could those few minutes change everything?

I felt insignificant without a real purpose on this bus, the only thing I did was hack and research as told so I could easily get replaced. An idea sprung into mind. I jumped up suddenly and headed towards Coulson's office; if they replaced me then I would have a better place at disappearing.

Knock knock knock

"Sir," I opened the door when I heard his voice. Coulson was sitting at his desk, flicking through papers. "I was wondering if, like with Fitz, if we could have another hacker." Coulson blinked, bemused by my request, "I was thinking it might be faster and quicker to have double the hackers." A bubble of nervous now followed. I hadn't thought of what Coulson might express, I got ahead of myself

"Fitz was struggling with keeping up with his work and sleep. Agent Lines offered to help if we needed a second engineer." Cousin said, putting down his pen.

"Well, I was also thinking it might benefit me because the only people who understand about hacking is Fitz and Simmons. I wanted someone who understood me and the computer world." Playing the guilt card wasn't the best but I had been getting very lonely. Coulson sighed.

"I'll see who's available." He sighed though I saw a smile tug at his mouth; I felt a smile rise up into my face. Excitement filling me.

"Really! Thanks A.C" I danced out the office and jumped the few last stairs. Fitz was no longer in the kitchen but I hurried straight to his bunk and banged on it loudly. "Wakey wakey Fitzy." I was bounding around like I had sugar on top of cream filled hot chocolate. A pair of blue eyes appeared I between the gaps. The door the slid open further. I closed it after me to make sure no one listened in.

"What's got you hyped up?" He asked a smile on his face.

"I've managed to get Coulson a "replacement" for me without him totally realising it." Surprise flittered over his face. "What?" His face hadn't changed.

"We haven't really discussed anything." He was nervous, I could tell he didn't know how to act around me like he could around Simmons. I could also tell why he was hesitant.

"Look, I want to help you get out of here, doing that I need to spend more time with you at the same time helping the others so I need a stand in to do it."

He thought about it for a moment then nodded at the logic.

"I'm not going to do a Simmons either." I added.

"Sorry, it's hard talking to a woman without Simmons in the room."

"You've been stuck with her for nine years in a lab. All you need is to get social to get out there. I'm sure with your skills you could end up working with Stark." I saw lights in his eyes. Working with one if the avengers who happens to be a genius in engineering. I knew stark would respect him, with what I saw if the blue prints last night, he had ideas that would make Stark proud.

"What are you proposing?" He asked, his face lighter than yesterday.

I cleared my throat, only accidentally burping before I bust out into chuckles. Fitz grinned. "Excuse me, well I was thinking, let the new hacker settle, befriend her, hope she doesn't take to me like Agent Lines, then slowly start redacting my time with them, you can make plans which can lead with you getting out here." I had no idea what was going to happen to me after that.

Fitz nodded, a look of deep though in his face. "I do have a way you can stay with shield and not me one this team..." His demeanour changed completely from comfort to the other side of the spectrum. My eyes widened, I could stay with shield and be trained?

"Tell me?" I demanded, leaning forwards. If possible his face turned red. Was it something bad? I couldn't tell.

"The only way you could stay as an agent-in-training with shield, is if someone takes the responsibly over you and your actions from Coulson, to change that it has to a relative who also works with shield or...if you marry another agent with the consent of a senior agent." It took a second for it to click and what he was implying.

"Oh," I found myself on my feet, my face brightening red. Now I understood his embarrassment. I knew what he was proposing if we both wanted off the Bus. I would do it, if he wanted to get off this, he was hurting. I didn't feel the romantic feelings towards him but I cared for him enough to marry if we had to. It would be uncomfortable for the both of us. I glanced to see him buried in a book, his cheeks as red as a tomato.

"We'll come to that another day, okay." I said in a tight voice. I jumped when there was a knock at the door, I fumbled about and opened it, and it was May much to my surprise. She looked mildly surprised to find me here of all places.

"Meeting by the holocomm in two." She said, her eyes darting between us, assessing our flushed faces before deciding to drop it and walk away. I spared a glance to Fitz who shrugged.

"Better be early than late." He out his book down and headed in front of me. I hurried to my bunk and checked the mirror. My face was very red, I put hands to my face, and hot. I knew the marriage thing was a last resort if this plan didn't work out. But compared with what happened to Simmons and the others, it was a nightmare.

Fitz was playing a game when I arrived but I took a seat a few meters away from him so it didn't look suspicious for reason. Lines and Ward came in talking about strategies and sparing plans, someone I noticed that to Ward, Lines was the perfect man on the plane to spar, their build was similar and they had the same thinking sort so it would be interesting to see how it ended, even though Lines was an engineer. Best of both words for Lines.

May and Simmons trickled in before Coulson came in. His eyes lingering on me for a moment. I looked hopeful.

"We're heading over to the hub for a couple of days so there'll be no missions for then, we'll be picking up a new hacker called Agent Casey Munroe, fresh out the academy. A very bright young woman." He said, a picture of a beautiful young woman with dead straight black hair and stunning green eyes. I could help the wave of jealousy towards her, though looks could be deceiving. She might not be as good as me, I reminded myself.

"Another, sir?" Ward questioned while Lines just whistled.

"She's cleared for combat and currently has a relationship, Agent Lines." I chuckled as Lines' face darkened. "Skye requested it," I felt the many stares on my face, particularly May's and Ward's.

"What? The only person who knows about hacking bedsides Fitz and Simmons is Miles, it could work, in in field on off field. Better access and quicker." I said. May's eye twitched, her gaze feeling like an x ray. "And she would understand what I'm saying when explains the hacks." I added.

"What level is she, sir?" Ward asked, looking back to the screen.

"Level 5, since Agent Lines has been here, the bunk space is limited, the interrogation room is subtle for a bed room. So we'll need to make that into her living space."

"I could move in there and she could have my bunk." Fitz Spoke up, not looking up from his phone.

"Oh that's a great idea, she can sleep closer to me." I said, putting my act on.

"If you're comfortable with it. Fitz you'll detach the security camera's inside for privacy if you so wish. We're three hours away so do what you want." He said dismissively. May went straight to the cockpit and Ward and Lines headed down to the cargo hold. Simmons glanced to Fitz then to me then headed down to the lab.

"I'll get my stuff moving now". Fitz added, brushing past me but I felt the phone being pressed into my pocket as he did so. I made no movement towards it as I headed towards my bunk, shutting it and pulled it out.

Skye, the device is complete, head down and watch Rock-body and Robot spar- I'll explain later, delete this note and put it on the side when done. Fitz

This perked my interest but why watch? What was this device? I wandered down and sat on the steps, deleting the note and put it on the side for Fitz to pick up later.
