It was a week later when Coulson informed them that they were taking the Bus to a place called the Hub, because of a top secret mission. Kayla wasn't surprised that they were keeping secrets from everyone but the people at the top, but Skye was outraged.

"I just think that we have a right to know what's happening with our team" Skye exclaimed.

"Skye, they're never going to tell us anything. You're a traitor and I'm a freak, which means we get to know nothing" Kayla explained.

"I'm not a traitor! And you're not a freak…much!" Skye insisted, making Kayla scoff.

Suddenly they were surrounding by men in lab coats who were all walking towards Kayla.

"This must be her!" A man practically squealed.

"Can we have a demonstration?!" Another questioned.

"If I stabbed you with this pen would it hurt?" Another asked.

"…Okay, so I'm guessing I'm the new item of gossip for the week" Kayla sighed.

"Hey back up! She's not answering any of your questions!" Ward exclaimed, getting a thankful look from Kayla.

"Well people seem to like you here" Skye grumbled.

"They'd like to dissect me, that's a different thing" Kayla replied.

Soon the rest of the team came back to inform the two women that Ward and surprisingly Fitz would be going dark into a hostile area.

"Wait, as in Fitz? Our Fitz?" Skye asked.

"Yes" Coulson replied.

"The guy who has absolutely no physical training whatsoever?" Kayla exclaimed.

"Yes, look it's been decided and that's final" Coulson stated, before Simmons could say something.


It was a few hours later and Ward was packing his bag for the mission, when the door to his bunk was opened and Kayla flopped onto his bed.

"Have you ever heard of something called privacy?" He asked her.

"Nope…" Kayla trailed off, as she examined what he was packing.

"Well what if I was indecent?" Ward said, raising an eyebrow.

"I wouldn't mind" Kayla joked, giving him a wink.

"You and Fitz need to be leaving in 10 minutes" Coulson ordered, as he walked past the bunks.

Ward quickly zipped up his bag, and slung it onto his shoulders.

"I'll see you soon" He told her, mustering a reassuring smile.

"Try not to have too much fun without me" Kayla quipped, as she patted him on the shoulder, before they both walked to the control room.

Fitz entered soon after and exclaimed that he was ready to leave, before giving Simmons a small smile. Ward quickly followed behind him, turning around to glance at Kayla, before he left.


"Oh, no, no. Please be careful" Simmons exclaimed, as one of the soldiers in the lab accidently knocked into one of the night night guns, which she carefully placed into her bag.

"Can you imagine what Fitz would do if the night night gun was broken when he came back?...Surely he'll be okay out there, right?" Simmons questioned.

"He'll be fine, Ward will look out for him" Kayla explained.

"Maybe May can give us some insight into how their mission is going?" Skye inquired, earning a glare from the older woman.

"…Does that mean you do know something but you just can't tell us or you really don't know anything? Which non-expression is it?" Skye continued.

"Pretty sure that's her 'stop talking' expression" Kayla told Skye.

"We know what we're supposed to. When we have more information we will react" May stated.

"Alright, clear out. I need to run some diagnostics and reboot. That's goes for you three as well" May explained, walking out of the room.

"Look you guys may be alright with being kept in the dark, but I'm not. I need answers!" Skye exclaimed.

"Well we could always do some hacking" Kayla suggested.

"Simmons?" Skye questioned.

"No! I can't be involved in your bad girl shenanigans" Simmons insisted.

"Simmons, wake up! Ward and Fitz went on a top secret mission and look there are more men and either it's a bigger deal and they're not telling us or something went wrong! What if they're injured or being tortured somewhere?" Skye explained.

"Fitz…tortured…" Simmons trailed off, imagining the worst.

"We need to act now, before something bad happens to them" Kayla exclaimed.

"What exactly do you have in mind?" Simmons asked, with a shy smile.


"Okay, you have the flash drive" Skye stated, as the door opened to let Simmons in.

"I programmed it with a decoy crawler. It'll use my browser history to simulate my usual online activity, so while S.H.I.E.L.D. thinks I'm trolling reddit and facebook with the laptop you gave me-" Simmons cut her off.

"You'll be hacking the files for Ward and Fitz's mission" Simmons exclaimed.

"Right. And remember, once you plug it in, you'll only have about-" Skye was cut off again.

"Three minutes before S.H.I.E.L.D. catches on" Simmons continued.

"Do you realize that you keep finishing my-" Simmons cut her off again.

"Your sentences. I know. I'm sorry. Bad habit…This is actually a bit thrilling" Simmons admitted.

"Ah, good. I'm glad" Skye stated.

"This is not going to end well" Kayla sighed.

"Now we've just got to figure out a way to get the panel open" Skye told her.

"Don't worry. I made a special something. It's what we do…All done" Simmons explained, as the panel opened.

"Really? Wow. Okay. Uh, now just find a USB port" Skye explained.

"Okay" Simmons replied.

"Agent Simmons?" A voice said from beside her.

"It's fine. Just play it cool" Skye told her, when she saw Simmons worried face.

Hello, Mr. Agent Sitwell, sir. May I help you?" Simmons questioned.

"Ugh, we're so dead" Kayla sighed.

"Call me Jasper" Sitwell told her.

"What a creep" Kayla exclaimed, as Skye shushed her.

"Um, what brings you to this restricted hallway so late at night?" Simmons inquired.

"I could ask you the same thing" Sitwell replied.

"No. Don't" Simmons murmured.

"Simmons, focus. Just make up an excuse" Skye told her.

"She's not very good at making up things on the spot, Skye" Kayla stated.

"I was just on my way to the loo. I could swear it was two rights and a left, but is that it here?" Simmons laughed nervously.

"That's a wall panel. Why are you accessing it?" Sitwell questioned.

"Don't spiral. Just say something. Anything" Skye insisted.

"You certainly have a gorgeous head, don't you?" Simmons stated.

"What?!" Skye cried.

"I told you" Kayla said, shaking her head.

"I like men that are about my height, but heavier than me" Simmons continued.

"Stop talking. Stop" Skye told her.

"Agent Simmons, do you have authorization to access that panel?" Sitwell inquired.

"Say yes. Say you do" Skye exclaimed.

"Oh!…Of course. Yeah. Of course. Um, I certainly have it right here in my bag. He's onto me" Simmons whispered.

"Stop talking to me! He can hear you!" Skye told her.

"Are you on comms with someone?...This is Agent Sitwell. I need an escort" Sitwell started when Simmons suddenly shot him with a night night gun.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" Simmons said, shaking her head.

"Oh, my god. Oh, my god" Skye repeated.

"Did she just…?" Kayla trailed off.

"Ha! Alright. Okay. Oof. I've shot agent Sitwell. Good, good, good. Was that all right?" Simmons asked, as she hid his body and then ran back towards them both.

"That was terrible! You are terrible at this" Skye told her.

"I did tell-" Kayla started, but Skye cut her off with an angry look.

"The night-night gun was right there, and I…" Simmons trailed off.

"We need help. Simmons, you need to go get May" Skye eclaimed.

"May?! No!" Simmons retorted.

"Listen. That flash drive will only give me a few minutes of access to the Hub's mainframe to find out what happened to our boys, so just go get May, okay? Just tell her it was an accident" Skye explained.

"I'm going to be court-martialed" Simmons sighed.

"Our boys?" Kayla said with a raised eyebrow.

"Well your and Simmons boyfriends" Skye replied, with a small smirk.

"Wait, what?" Kayla exclaimed, as she followed Skye.
