Chapter 2

Skye hated taking the lie detector test. She was one of the last of Coulson's agents to take the test as she along with May and Ward were left on base. But Skye knew it was for safety reasons and she didn't have a problem with Koenig asking her the questions. The hacker was just happy she was alone when the test started. The information, she shared with Koenig, were things the rest of the team didn't know or she never wanted it to be shared.

For example her legal name of Mary Sue Poots. Skye felt that most likely Fitz would give her grief about it figuring he did attempt to do a prank on her once. But with everything she told Koenig, he let her pass. Skye was handed her own S.H.I.E.L.D lanyard and she was extremely happy about it. The hacker finally felt like she was officially a team member that Koenig trusted now.

Agent Ward was the last to go for the lie detector test so that meant Skye was to find something to do while they were busy. Hacking into the NSA would fill the boredom. Something that needed to be done anyway for the mission they had to do. If only she could only imagine what was going to happen that night.

The journey back from Portland was a long one. The team now had one more body to take with them as FitzSimmons had to carefully convince Coulson to let agent Parker come back to Providence with them. It had been a few years since they saw their old friend. A lot had changed with the three of them and two scientists were curious to know what Parker had been up to.

"So Andrew, how have you been?" Simmons asked from the backseat of the SUV Trip was driving them in to the airport.

Parker let out a small laugh. "I've been good. Haven't been out in action in awhile."

"Why's that?" Fitz asked.

"Have been mostly staying at the Hub more recently. I just got back from a 6 month undercover mission. Longest one I've been on."

Andrew Parker was a lot different then his friends who were now an engineer and biochemist respectively. He had gone to the sci-ops academy around the same time as them but when FitzSimmons went off to a lab to work, he decided to get field training so he could go on missions. For Fitz, he didn't want to be near the field but Simmons convinced him along with a phone call from Parker to get him to go.

"Can I see your badge?" Coulson asks from the passengers seat leaning on the center console.

"Of course sir."

Parker reaches into his inside jacket pocket and pulls out a wallet type case that held his badge. Simmons notices he still has the shiny necklace around his neck that he normally wore under his shirt. He still keeps his father close she thinks to herself. Parker's father had died in the war back when he was a young teenager. The military had delivered his father's dog tags to him and his mother when they came knocking on their door one evening. It had just been a few months before Andrew would leave for the academy. Jemma would eventually comfort him when he felt like falling apart.

"Level 5 just like FitzSimmons. Your badge won't be useful on the base we are stationed at." Coulson tells him after he scans the barcode.

"Sir?" Parker asks confused.

"Strict rules under agent Koenig. You'll have to take a lie detector test."

Parker looks over FitzSimmons with a puzzled look. He sees Fitz raise his lanyard from around his neck to show him.

"It's not a bad test, mate. You'll do fine." Fitz tells him. Simmons nodding agreeing also.

Before they knew it, they were back at the private airport they landed at earlier with Ward's jump jet.

Skye was beginning to wonder what was taking Koenig so long. He had came in to check up on her after the last of the lie detector tests and then left saying he would go find them some snacks. Now it had been nearing twenty minutes and Koenig was yet to come back.

"How's it going in here?"

Skye jumped at the sound forgetting that Ward was still wandering around the base. The specialist had also passed the lie detector test and was sporting his own lanyard around his neck.

"Ward, hey." She said awkwardly trying to compose herself. "It's going well. Just about done."

"That's great." He tells her as he plops down on the couch near the table Skye is currently working at.

Skye watches Ward carefully. She knows he has been injured from the battle at the Fridge. She was in the lab for a little bit when Simmons was examining him. The hacker just felt something was off. She walked over to him and took a seat next to him.

"Everything all right, Ward?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?"

"Okay. If you say so."

The hacker gets up and that's when she sees it. Just as Skye is about to run her fingers through Ward's hair, knowing he hates it, she spots a blood spot behind his ear. From some reason she's drawn to touch it just as Ward moves his head.

"Ward, why is there blood behind your ear?"

The specialist quickly takes his hand to feel the area and pulls it back to see the result on his fingers.

"Shit, one of my stitches opened back up. I'll be right back." He says running out of the room towards the lab.

With Ward rushing out of the room, Skye set her sights on finding where Koenig disappeared to. He couldn't have gone far she thought. Underneath the newspaper, was the hidden tablet she hid earlier that Koenig showed her. She didn't want Ward to know it was around.

The hacker quickly found where Koenig's beckon was located on the tablet. Using it Skye followed it to a storage room near by. She opened to door to notice a penny falling into her hand. Why would there be a penny on top of the door?

"Koenig!?" Skye called out.

Skye walked into the room a bit farther, flicking on the light switch near the door. This couldn't be right? Could it?

"Eric?" She calls again looking around.

That's when it hits her. A splatter from the ceiling drips onto part of her face. Looking up she finds the man she was looking for. Dead. Panicking a bit, Skye quickly runs to the nearest bathroom.

Ward is Hydra. Ward is Hydra. She keeps replaying those words in her head. The hacker washes off the blood from herself and soon after she finds her self holding herself next to the trash can.

Right now she just wants someone to comfort her. Right now, Skye wants Andrew to hold on to her.

New chapter. Trying to keep it to a similar story line as the episodes but as you can see some of it is different since I added my own character to the mix and have to fit him into the story line. Please leave a review. Tell me what you think and how/if I should continue.
