Each person gave her a hug, then she stood face to face with Ward. The rest of the team left for the plane, leaving the two alone. She went and gave him a hug, her head resting on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on the top of hers.

"I'm sorry." she said.

"Don't be, you were better then I ever was, I envy you for not being able to kill people."

"Your not that bad. You've gotten a lot better, I haven't seen you kill anyone yet. Well anyone who hasn't tried to kill you first." That earned a slight smile from Ward.

"You know, this is the most physical contact I've had with anyone for a long time."

They both laughed a bit then Julia pulled back and said "We should probably get back to the plane before they leave without us." and she walked out. Ward followed her from behind, watching as the plane grew larger and larger in their view.

When they got back in the plane, Julia was attacked with a hug by Fitz and Simmons.

"Hey, it's good to see you too." she said with a smile and a laugh.

They pulled back and Simmons said "It's just that..."

"We thought you were dead." finished Fitz. "I can promise you that i'm completely fine." The two smiled and went back to their lab. Next was Skye and Mac. They each hugged her and Mac asked "What did you do to that man? He looked like he had been brought to hell and back."

"Maybe he was." she answered with a smirk.

Over the night, they had flown to the base where they were dropping off Lester Slight. Julia was called into Coulson's office. "You wanted to...see me." she stretched out the last two words as she saw the entire team in his office. "What's this about?" she asked.

"We have all agreed on a decision." answered Coulson. "We all want you to become and official member of this team." Finished May.

Julia looked at everyone and said " oh, I-I can't"

"Why not? Your practically already a part of this team." asked Skye.

"I'm really happy that you all want me here, but I don't belong here." She answered.

"No one belongs at first, but we make a good team of outcasts." Answered Coulson.

Julia felt something turn her to her side. Ward had turned her to face him. He looked straight into her eyes and said "You told me that you had no one that ever cared about you, well now you have a whole handful of people who do. You need to stop running at some point."

Julia looked into his eyes, then looked at everyone else. She smiled and said "Ok, I'm done running." Everyone cheered.

She had a giant smile on her face and before she knew it, she felt a pair of warm lips on hers. Ward had swooped in and kissed her. Her eyes fluttered shut. She pulled back and they rested their foreheads on each other's and smiled widely as they heard the whistling and cheering from the team.

Ward held Julia in her arms, both looking at the others and slightly laughing. Coulson spoke up and said "So you have decided." She smiled the biggest smile that she had done in a long time.

"Yes, I'll stay."
