Skye

Having Sharon around had been fun. Skye had grown close to the women during their short time together, she found the women to be witty, caring and very respectful of others. Her domineering presence allowed Skye some time apart from the clingy Alpha and Beta.

Some much needed separation.

Sharon had rolled her eyes when the two insisted on keeping her close, easily countering any argument they had; "the last time you keep a wolf near you twenty four seven, Natasha, was Maria, and look how that turned out! The two of you can't bare to part from each other and howl when you guys aren't near each other. So, it's Sharon and Skye bonding time, the Double S's."

Skye was sad to see her go, but apparently Sharon could only swindle two days out of Fury and that was simply because whoever she was babysitting whilst she was undercover was away and she was unable to follow and watch them. It worked out nicely for them, even though Fury wanted Sharon to stay and survey the area, she fought hard against that saying she will pull the soulmate card if she had too and Fury finally relented.

Sharon's last day with them was spent watching the Star Wars movies (she recently had an urge to watch them) and spent five minutes arguing which order they should watch them in before decided to do it chronologically following the story line. They had bought a bunch of wine and junk food to go with their marathon and talked randomly about things that were happening in the pack with the night finishing with Maria and Sharon retiring early to their room with sleezy grins on their faces (which caused Skye to realise Maria was definitely the bottom in their relationship).

Which left Natasha and Skye to find something exciting to do by themselves. Filled with vodka (Natasha scoffed at the wine and whipped out the vodka after one glass) Natasha decided that they would play the wii which resulted them falling over themselves a lot and giggling, which soon turned into uncontrollable laughter when they could hear Sharon and Maria. The two had forgotten to silence their room. It wasn't long until the two decided to go to bed as well, Skye purposely flinging herself onto Natasha bed after stripping down to minimal clothing and sprawled across the bed, trying to take up as much room as possible.

Natasha rolled her eyes and easily lifted Skye up, pulling the covers back and dumping Skye back down and crawling in beside her. Natasha lay there, staring at Skye with a certain softness that Skye had come to associate with Natasha when she was about to say something mushy.

"What?" She had mumbled

"Sharon's been good for you, hopefully her undercover mission will end soon. She makes you and Maria happy." Natasha said simply, raising a hand and pushing hair out of Skye's face.

Skye rolled her eyes "We're all connected through our brrraaaaiiiinnns, Natasha, everyone will make everyone happy." she giggled and cuddled into the alpha, wrapping her arms tightly around the women's waist.

Natasha had simply sighed and held of closer "of course Skye, you're weird when you are drunk, go to sleep tiny pup."

"Fucking Sharon and her nicknames." Skye had grumbled before passing out happily.

Skye

It has been over fourteen days since her first injection, Skye has officially completed all injections and almost completed the whole ordeal, all that was left to do was actually transform into a wolf, which she said she wanted to do with May here.

The past two weeks here had been amazing, to say at the least. It was certainly better than anywhere else she had lived; she felt loved, she was warm and never hungry and had easy access to internet (it didn't take much to please Skye). Natasha and Maria, as promised, helped set her foundations for training in the most common practices of self defence, it also helped solidify their cover. The training often left Skye bruised and sore and she landed on her ass more often than not. If she had any other trainers, Skye had no doubt she would have given up after the second day, but Natasha and Maria were nothing but patient and encouraging, if on the strict side.

Natasha had almost scoffed the first day Skye showed her the stances that Ward had taught and demonstrated the drills she was taught.

"Thats all well and good if you are Ward, but he seems to forget that you are about half his weight and size, these stances would not be that good for you, they may help you occasionally but these stances would be better for you. Place yours foot more to the right, no, plant it Skye. Yes, then lean into it and put your hands like this- yes perfect! There we go, this would be the best stance to start you off with, it gives you the best chance at blocking any attacks coming your way and a good start position if you throw the first punch." Natasha had lectured Skye as she guided Skye into the correct stance

"So, do I tell Ward that he has been teaching me wrong or do I play dumb?" Skye questioned a litle while later once they were settled into punching drills.

"What do you think we should do?" Maria questioned casually as she circled Skye, gently kicking her leg back into the proper stance.

"Well, Ward is the only one on the team that we are unsure of. He's not in the pack and he hasn't obtained the trust and loyalty of the team that Coulson has. If he notices that my skills are at a higher place than it should be then he might be suspicious as to how I learned it all in such a short time. We could play it off as you and Natasha training me, but that might bring even more suspicion and cause him to look more into this and thats definitely something we do not want happening. Soooo, I guess I'm going with play dumb until the perfect moment comes for me to outshine him and show off to everyone?" Skye said,working through her thoughts.

Maria shared a smirking glance with Natasha, the girl was good and was developing a thought pattern to protecting the pack and it was excellent progress as some people take a while longer to adapt to automatically thinking and acting in the best manor for the pack and not just themselves.

"Excellent answer Skye, it's a good plan. I might speak to Coulson or Fury about officially changing your S.O to Melinda. Surely with what we have saw so far shows minimal progress. I do understand though that he was only training you for like, what, two to three days? He still should be showing you the proper stances for someone your size. I'll talk to Fury actually, see what we can do, he might make us wait before actually making any changes." Maria said, leaning against the wall, watching for Skye's reaction.

Skye shrugged in response,"whatever you think is best for us, Maria."

Maria simply smiled in response as Natasha barked out some more drills for Skye to follow.

It was going to be slightly strange to pretend that Skye didn't know what she was doing, but she would do anything to protect that pack, it wasn't as though she was advance in any form of martial arts, she was just slightly better than she should be at her stage. It did help that she had access to training memories of her pack mates which help speed some learning up.

Other than the training, it was great fun staying here and she was going to have a hard time leaving it, leaving Maria and Natasha. Skye had gotten used to them fussing over her and had secretly become to adore it. It wasn't often that someone was watching out for how she slept, how she ate and her general health and happiness.

Skye may have also, kind of, had sex with them.

That was going to be a whole other conversation that she was going to have with Fitz and Simmons, not before she scolds them for not telling her that they were soul mates. To be fair, she should have notice, and under normal circumstances she would have, however, she was busy worrying over having her genetics modified, jags and puking up her guts.

Either way the sex was fantastic and she was so gossiping with Simmons over this.

Currently, the three of them were lounging on the couches, waiting for May to call them to tell them when she would be arriving.

Skye sigh loudly and dramatically flung her legs over the other two women and pouted at them, waiting for them to respond to her.

"We're not going to dignify that with a proper response" Maria replied lazily as she read some important information on her tablet. Boring, important information.

"It may be boring but it is necessary." Maria defended, putting the tablet down and looking at the youngest.

Skye simply smiled innocently back at her "Just bored, Ria. I'm bored,you're reading boring stuff and I think Nat has fallen asleep. Just sayin' we could use something to liven this place up!" Skye exclaimed and launched herself at Maria with a smirk.

The pair fell to the ground, easily rolling away from Natasha (who was wide awake and watching through half closed eyes) to not disturb her. Skye quickly straddled Maria and pinned her hands above her head and grin triumphantly at the women as she squirmed underneath Skye.

"Since I have you at my mercy, I believe we should do something fun, like, pranking Fury, blowing spitballs at your robot, hack Stark? Something!" Skye pleaded. She didn't do too well when she was in an enclosed area with nothing to do.

"We can do something fun, but all of them means I'll have by ass handed to me by Fury. Think of something else – no sex – that doesn't involve someone outside the pack." Maria said and easily rolled out from underneath Skye and pulled them both to their feet.

Before Skye could come up with a reply or an idea, Natasha phone rang with her special ringtone that she reserved specifically for Melinda.

"Heeey babe,whats up?" Natasha said sweetly into the phone, dragging out her words as she sat up with ease.

"Hey Nat, I need your help – well, actually, we need Skye's help." Melinda replied, they could faintly hear arguing in the background. Seems like they had a dilemma.

"I'm here with Maria as well. What's up?" Skye questioned, sitting down next to Natasha, pulling her laptop close.

"We're currently working on the missing asset case of Dr. Franklin Hall. We have discovered that he was actually kidnapped by Ian Quinn-"

"Ian Quinn? The genius, philanthropist that is single handedly revolutionising the worlds technology?" Skye interrupted, in slight disbelief that this man was behind the kidnapping.

"Single handedly? Has she not seen our night night guns? Think she needs glasses, Simmons." Fitz grumbled quietly in the background, only loud enough for the pack to hear him.

May pointedly ignored Fitz for the time being, not wanting to start something unexplainable on the plane with Coulson and Ward so close by. "Yes, that genius, philanthropist kidnapped the Doctor and is currently holding him hostage. As far as we are aware, he not being tortured, but that could change any minute. The problem that we have is that we have tracked Quinn and Franklin to Malta."

Maria and Natasha groaned.

"Well fuck." Natasha grumbled

"My thoughts exactly." May agreed.

"You'll have to be careful, Melinda" Maria warned, "don't take this lightly, I won't be able to protect you if this goes wrong and no doubt once Fury hears about this you will either get a slap on the wrist or tracked."

"Let's hope for a successful outcome then will a little slap on the wrist." Natasha said, "we can't have Melinda track as anyone above her level will be able to access that information and that could ruin this whole operation."

"So, I'm confused, what's going on?" Skye questioned, looking at her superiors.

"Shield has no jurisdiction in Malta and we can be held accountable for anything that we do, no diplomatic immunity, no using our government to hide stuff under the rug. If you get caught there on behalf of Shield, it will not only ruin your life but also ruin Shield's reputation and standing order amongst the intelligence agencies." Maria explained.

"We've found a way in, Quinn is holding a party to talk about a new project of his, a newly discovered element called gravitantium. His place is highly secured along with the usual invisible electric field and guards round the clock. The only way the wont end so badly for Shield is if we are invited in, but for some unknown reason, I can't see Quinn being in a rush to invite us." May deadpanned.

"This is complicated. I honestly can't think of a way around this that won't have a high chance of negatively impacting us." Maria mused, looking annoyed.

Skye was silently tapping away on her laptop before she looked up "What if we sent me in?" She questioned them.

Maria and Natasha paused and looked her.

"No." Melinda quickly denied.

"Hold on." Natasha said, looking closer at Skye, before turning to Maria, " Skye is officially not with Shield yet, she is still listed as a consultant until she leaves us, right?

"She is, which means she can go and do whatever the hell she please in Malta without serious repercussions." Maria replied slowly.

"Plus" Skye said cheerily "I have an invitation."
