"I figure... I let you punch me again, repeatedly, why don't you just-" Ward started when he walked into the cockpit later that night, but was quickly cut off by May.

"It's fine" May retorted.

"It's not. I never intended...I didn't want to hurt..." Ward trailed off.

"You didn't. That was never a risk with me. I told you that" May explained.

"You did" Ward replied.

"Seems like we're done here" May said, as Ward understood her double meaning.

"Okay" Ward nodded.

"But if what Lorelei said was true...you were more honest with her than you are with yourself" May told him, as Ward walked out with a sigh.

It was much later that night, and Ward was getting dressed after having his shower and walked towards his bunk. He was surprised when he saw Kayla was already there, laying on his bed.

"What are you doing here?" Ward questioned.

"I've been waiting…for two hours" Kayla exclaimed, raising an eyebrow.

"Sorry" Ward mumbled, sitting on his bed.

"Do you usually have showers that take two hours?" Kayla inquired.

"Yeah" Ward shrugged.

"You know I can tell when you're lying, right?" Kayla stated.

"Is that another one of your powers?" Ward joked.

"Nope, it's what I've picked up after people lying to me for most my life. What's wrong?" Kayla asked.

"Nothing" Ward replied.

"Do you want to talk about what happened with Lorelei?" Kayla inquired.

"Nothing happened" He told her.

"Well I think it did. Come on, talk to me" Kayla said, putting a hand on his tense shoulder.

"I tried to kill May…I just felt helpless" Ward sighed.

"It wasn't your fault. You were being influenced, just like with the berserker staff" Kayla insisted.

"Maybe I'm just weak" He said, rubbing a hand over his face.

"What? Ward, you're not weak. Like at all" Kayla told him.

"How're you feeling?" Ward questioned, trying to change the subject.

"Who cares? We're talking about you right now. So talk to me" She exclaimed.

It took almost five minutes, but finally Ward blurted out the truth.

"I had sex with Lorelei" Ward stated, his shoulders hunching up.

"I know" Kayla replied, softly.

"Oh…Are you mad?" Ward asked, quietly.

"Of course not. Ward, you weren't in control. She took advantage of you" Kayla explained.

"I've been trained to resist people like her" Ward said, clenching his fists.

"This isn't your fault, okay? Lorelei has weird powers, she influenced all your decisions" Kayla reasoned, as she reached out to touch his shoulder again, but he flinched.

"Sorry" She mumbled, realising it wasn't a good idea to try to touch him.

"It's not that, it's…" He trailed off, sighing.

He then rolled up the back of his top up slightly, to reveal long marks going up his back, which looked just like scratch marks.

"Oh, Ward" Kayla exclaimed.

"I could have stopped her. I should have. It's my fault" Ward insisted.

"Just stop, okay? You couldn't have. You had no control. Look would you be blaming Fitz or Coulson if it was the other way round?" Kayla inquired.

"Of course not" Ward replied.

"Well then why is it any different for you" Kayla stated.

"I guess" Ward sighed.

"Come on, lie down. You must be tired" Kayla suggested, scotching over.

Ward slowly did so, as Kayla's head landed on his shoulder.

"Why did you think I'd be mad at you?" Kayla asked.

"You were mad that I was having sex with May" He shrugged.

"And why do you think that was?" Kayla questioned.

"I don't know…" Ward trailed off.

"Are you sure? Because I think it's staring you right in the face" Kayla exclaimed, as Ward took a deep breath.

"IthinkIhavefeelingsforyou" Ward said, ridiculously fast.

"Um, what?" Kayla laughed.

"I think I have feelings for you" Ward finally admitted, scrunching his eyes shut.

"I think I have feelings for you too" Kayla grinned.

"So what happens now?" Ward inquired.

"What? Like you've never been in a relationship before" Kayla said sarcastically.

"Never a real one" He replied, as Kayla looked up at him.

"Really? But you're like…well you" Kayla explained.

"What does that mean?" Ward asked, confused.

"It means you're kind of hot" Kayla whispered.

"So are you" Ward replied.

"Complimenting me already, yeah I'm going to keep you" Kayla laughed, as Ward let out a yawn.

"I'll leave you to get some rest" Kayla stated, getting up from the bed.

"Stay?" Ward questioned, grabbing onto her hand.

"Trying to get me into bed already? You should really take me on a date first" Kayla exclaimed, but rolled back onto the bed.

"I will. There will be lots of food" He told her.

"Yep, definitely keeping you" Kayla grinned, as Ward wrapped his hand around her waist.

"Night Kayla" Ward whispered.

"Night Ward" Kayla mumbled.

When Ward woke up the next morning, he couldn't help but smile. It felt good to have Kayla in his arms, and it was the first good night's sleep he had, had in a long time. Instantly Kayla woke up too, seeing as she was a very light sleeper.

"Hey" She smiled, turning to look at him.

"Hi" He replied.

"So are we like…you know?" Kayla questioned.

"What do you mean?" Ward asked.

"Well like boyfriend and girlfriend, or…" She trailed off.

"What do you want?" Ward inquired.

"I'd like to be your girlfriend" Kayla said, blushing slightly.

"And I'd like to be your boyfriend" Ward grinned, as he looked at his clock behind her.

"What the…? It's almost noon!" Ward exclaimed.

"What? Damn, we really did sleep in. I'll sneak out" Kayla stated.

She started to pull her shirt over her head, which she had removed in the night, leaving her in just her tank top. Suddenly the door opened, revealing a shocked Coulson.

"Um, I was just…" Kayla trailed off, not knowing what to say.

"…Waking me up" Ward finished.

"Uh yeah, I'm just going to…" She said, quickly walking out the bunk.

A moment later she ran into a confused Fitz.

"Oh hey Fitz…I've just been to the bathroom…that's why I'm not dressed" Kayla explained very badly.

"But the bathroom's the other way" Fitz retorted.

"Oh yeah, it is isn't it? Guess I must still be a bit tired…I'll see you later" Kayla exclaimed, quickly walking to her bunk.

Meanwhile, Coulson was still in the same place, his eyebrows raised at Ward.

"Really?" Coulson questioned.

"It's not what you think" Ward insisted.

"So you didn't sleep with her?" Coulson asked.

"No, I just…slept next to her" Ward replied, lamely.

"So what? You break up with May and then go after the next available girl on the bus? Who's next? Skye?" Coulson suggested.

"No, May and I broke up because of Kayla" Ward announced.

"You have feelings for her?" Coulson questioned.

"Yes" Ward stated.

"This could be a problem" Coulson told him.

"Why? If anything I'm just going to protect her more, and she needs all the protection she can get" Ward exclaimed.

"We'll talk about this later. Get dressed" Coulson retorted, walking away.
