MCU AOS AU

(A/N: I own nothing and I own nothing.)

It was almost two months later when the team was recalled to the HUB so that Coulson and May could attend a meeting with several other prominent agents, mainly…the family. Skye kept her cover easily although she twitched a bit with the urge to find her mom and hug her tightly. She's missed her mom and her dads.

May saw Skye's fingers twitch slightly and looked vaguely amused, knowing what exactly it was that Skye wanted to do. Then her eyes caught the glint of the anti-hacking bracelet and she frowned heavily. Skye was keeping cover and had pretended to sleep with Miles a few weeks ago, only May and Coulson knowing that she had faked it by knocking him out and playing a porno flick on his TV, and Ward had followed her as she had expected.

Now however the other three members of the team didn't trust Skye one bit and Ward was openly hostile while Fitz and Simmons were more passively aggressive and kept pointedly excluding her from things they had done with her before her 'betrayal'. Ward had demanded to be her SO, since she had faked an interest in becoming a specialist, and they couldn't really deny him without a good reason.

It made both May and Coulson's blood boil angrily when they saw Ward periodically beat Skye down since she pretended to not know how to fight much at all for the sake of her cover. Even now Skye had fading bruises in the shape of his hands on her arms and more than a few bruised ribs from all of the 'spars'. She couldn't wait until she could pay him back for each and every one of them, and neither could her mama and papa.

"Here. Stay here and try to train yourself up a bit. You're pathetic on the mats and bag. Try and work on that if you can." Ward said condescendingly to Skye causing some of the older agents in the gym that recognized the girl to go pale white and wide eyed, a few of them bristling at Wards words or tone.

"…So…who wants to videotape the look on his face when mom gets ahold of him or I'm allowed to drop my cover?" Skye asked turning and looking at the older agents in the room that all raised their hands without hesitation. The younger agents or ones who weren't above the clearance level required looked confused at this.

"Who's your mom?" A level two agent asked confused as he looked at the small girl, trying to guess who her mother is.

"That's classified, especially since I'm undercover at the moment. Ward doesn't have a clue and neither do most operatives who are under level 8 clearance or weren't here when I was a child." Skye said smiling apologetically at the man who frowned but nodded in understanding. They all knew about being undercover.

"What's that bruising on your arm?" One of the older agents, who knew her when she was first adopted, asked eyeing the hand shaped bruises on Skye's arms that were already beginning to heal and fade. One good thing about those experiments the whack jobs did when she was ten besides the computer brain? Accelerated healing that could be held back or manipulated to a degree.

"The results of him 'training' my cover self. Them and some bruised ribs…which are already healed." Skye said earning a few frowns and glares from the other agents, even ones that didn't know who she was. There was no way that she should have those bruises on her arms for any training session unless the trainer was just using her as a punching bag or being unnecessarily rough.

"Your parents are going to kill him." One agent said bluntly and completely deadpan, making Skye grin at him.

"Only if I don't get to it first! Do you know how hard it was to keep mama and papa from dropping him out of the plane without a parachute ever since he became my so called SO?" Skye asked making the ones that knew who she was talking about wince slightly. Yep Ward was going to die. It will be painful. It will be messy. It will be…humiliating.

"I can't wait to see what they do to him." The first agent said grinning slightly and making the others nod eagerly.

"As soon as I get permission from Mom and Dad I'm dropping cover in public so you'll get to watch and if not then I can record it and send it to you." Skye said making the agents that knew her grin and nod, or smirk in some cases. Skye's attention was caught by an incoming text message and she began grinning wider as she pulled out her phone for show.

"Show time." Skye said her eyes glinting and sparking a bluish color as she turned from the gym and walked through the halls, the agents that knew her or ones that were curious following her when they saw the glint in her eyes and the grin on her face.

"Skye I told you to stay in the gym and train." Ward said glaring at Skye as she stepped into the main lobby of the HUB where there were at least fifty agents milling about working on various things.

"Choke on a dick Robot." Skye said without batting an eye, making the agents that knew her snort or snicker slightly in amusement as others stopped and stared at the two. Fitz and Simmons smiled slightly but wiped it away quickly, used to Skye's standard response by now but not showing how amusing it could be at times. Almost no one noticed the group of senior high ranking agents entering the lobby from one hallway.

"I'm your S.O. so you'd better-" Ward snarled as he grabbed Skye's arm tightly in his grip, so tightly that there was an audible crack sound coming from it. Instantly you could almost feel the tension and anger in the air as a female's voice let out an angry bellow that had all agents under her diving for cover.

"WARD!"

Victoria Hand-May was pissed.
