I don't own anything just this weird storyline.

Hi! So I just want to thank you guys for the overwhelming favs and follows that this story received even though it was only the first chapter! I so did not see that coming.
Anyway, I saw the promo for 2x05 and OMFG I am screaming because I was definitely going in that direction but that's why I will try to update as fast as possible so that you won't think I am basing everything on the show. As for the reviewers:

Marvel-Tolkien Fangirl: Thank you for your nice review!
Bemzi: That is so sweet for you to say! I really hope you will continue liking this story.
Belle97: Same! To be honest, Skye's origin always peaked my interest. I just want to know everything about her and what she's going to do once she finds herself face to face with her father. I can't wait for that scene!
And to everyone who fave and followed this story: BIG THANKS


CHAPTER 2
Flowers

"Tell me." Skye said as soon as the wall that separated her from the man they hold under custody disappeared.

Ward, who was lying on his hard bunk, turned his attention to the source of the voice. There, looking uncertain more than he had ever seen her before, stood Skye.

"If that's what you want." he said as he slowly sat on his bed. His eyes locked on Skye, absorbing the beauty that he can now just only mesmerize at as he will forever regret for breaking the trust that he so desperately try so hard to gain back.

"How did you learn about my father?" she asked without any reservation. "Who told you?"

An 'ahh' escaped from Ward's lips, surprised at her promptness but expecting it nonetheless.

"And if I tell you, what are you going to do with the information?" he answered, trying to prolong the visit. Knowing Skye, as soon as he gives her the answer, she will leave, and that was something he was trying to delay.

Being locked up in this make-shift prison cell with no one but himself and with no source of entertainment, Ward seek for human interaction.

It was new to him - that feeling of wanting companionship. He was trained to work alone, and he was good at it. But ever since he opened himself up to the girl standing a few meters away from him, he pitied his former self. He wanted, sometimes even needed, to have someone around, but more deeply was the need for Skye's presence.

Skye crossed her arms in front of her in a very stubbornly manner. "Whatever it is that I'm going to do about this information does not concern you."

"Knowing you, you'd probably do something stupid." Ward said. "And I cannot let you do something that might get you in danger. So, yes. It does concern me."

"You lost the right to care about me the moment you decided to kill Fitz and Simmons."
Ward stood up, walked to the edge of his cell, and looked straight to Skye's eyes. "I never meant to hurt them, I tried to give them a chance to survive. I didn't want to hurt them, to hurt yo-"

"The damage is done, Ward." Skye cut him off and paced around the room. She was uncomfortable to talk about this topic but more so when he kept on trying to make her feel like he still cared about her. "SHIELD has fallen apart because of what you've done... and so has our team." Skye said the latter part in a whisper.

"You cannot seriously keep holding me responsible for everything." he said, surprised at the accusation in her voice. "I thought we were passed that."

"I thought we were." she said then sighed defeatedly. She reached for the seat and sat down. "Look..." she trailed off, founding difficulty on where she should start with her thoughts.

Ward watched her as she buried her face in her hands. Whatever it was that was bothering her made her look weak in that moment, and it hurt him to know that he had something to do with it.

"I want you to tell me who told you about my father." Skye looked up, and there was some kind of authority in her voice that Ward hadn't heard before. "And I'm not asking."

"You almost sound like May." Ward teased but failed miserably when he did not get the reaction he wanted from Skye. He sighed. "I can't."

"And why not?"

"Because, like I said, you're going to do something stupid and I can't let you do that."

"Why would you tell me about him in the first place if you're just going to leave me hanging?" Skye asked.

"Because if you're going to do something stupid, I want you to do it with me." Ward admitted causing Skye to be taken by surprise. He noticed it, how her body tensed all of a sudden by his words. He saw it and he was glad to see it.

"It seems like this conversation won't go anywhere." Skye stood up while trying to avoid any eye contact with him.

"Wait." Ward called after her.

Skye stopped on her tracks, but did not turn to face him.

"I will tell you, but I need you to promise me that you will not do anything reckless." Ward said slowly, enunciating every word as clearly as he could.

This made Skye look at him.

"Raina." he said.

"Flowers?" she said, confused. "How does she know about my father?"

Ward shook his head. "That I don't know."

But Skye ignored him, another question forming in her mind. "Wait. I don't get it. How... how did she know that I was his daughter in the first place?"

Ward clenched his jaw. This was the one thing he was trying to avoid. He could come up with a lie, tell her that Raina was going through the data Skye encrypted and stumbled upon the retracted file about Skye's birth. But he couldn't, not after he promised her that he would only tell her the truth. But, at the same time, how can he explain to her that it was her DNA that made Raina solve the puzzle of Skye's identity. And, most importantly, how can he explain to her that the monsters who were responsible of the death of all the people in that village and of the agents that were trying to protect her were her parents. How can he tell her all that without destroying Skye.

"Well?" Skye demanded.

"I told you all that I know." Ward chose to lie instead. "Now it's your time to keep your promise. Don't do anything stupid."

Skye turned for the door before saying, "Oh, you know me. I'm not really good with promises." and with that, the wall between them reappeared, isolating Ward once more.

"Skye!" Ward yelled her name as he banged his fists on the wall. "Skye!" he yelled and yelled, but no matter how many times he shouted her name, the young agent did not come back.


"Where have you been?" Hunter asked Skye the moment he saw her enter the dining room.

"Just out." Skye lied only to notice Fitz stare at her with knowing looks.

"Doesn't matter. You're here now." Hunter said and cocked his head to signal Skye to follow him.

Skye exchanged glances with Fitz before following Hunter out of the room. Fitz followed suit.

"What's going on?" she panted as she tried to keep up with him.

"Coulson has a mission for us. And may I add, Hallelujah." he smirked. "Anyway, he's been waiting for us, for I don't know how many minutes now."

"Sorry to keep you waiting, your royal pain in the ass."

Hunter just fake-grinned at her.

"Found her." he announced when they entered Coulson's office.

"Glad you could join us." Coulson said with a small smile without meeting Skye's eyes. He felt guilty for keeping the information regarding Donnie from the young agent. And if he were to make eye contact with the girl, he was afraid that she might guess that he was keeping secrets. And the last thing he could afford is for her to start snooping around and find Donnie in the frozen state that he was currently in.

May nodded at Coulson, silently asking for permission to start the briefing. Coulson nodded in response.

"We got information about the whereabouts of the Obelisk." May said.

"This news doesn't excite me at all." Hunter murmured, the memory of what happened to Izzy and to Idaho still fresh to him.

"We do not have the exact location, but if our source is telling the truth, then it is worth to check it out."

"Telling the truth?" Skye frowned. "What does that even mean?"

"Well..." Coulson trailed off. "I wouldn't really rely on her even if she was the last person alive. Besides, she isn't really one of us. More of a third party seeking for help when she's at stake."

Skye and Hunter exchanged glances. Trip and Mack, who were both sitting silently at the room both shrugged their shoulders, clueless too of whom they were talking about. Fitz was still watching Skye, his faux Simmons whispering to him that the other agent was keeping secrets from all of them.

May, tired of the theatricality of Coulson, sighed. "Raina. He meant Raina."

Coulson looked at May disappointedly. "You just had to ruin the suspense, couldn't you."
"Raina?" Hunter said, a bit confused.

"The flower girl." Trip said, as if that would explain everything, and it did because both Mack and Hunter nodded their heads in understanding. May just rolled her eyes.

The team started to talk about how they were going to extract the object and what security measures they were going to take. Except for Fitz., whose eyes were locked on Skye the entire time.

Fitz stood by the door, listening to what faux Simmons was telling him.

"She's keeping something." Faux Simmons said. "Look at her. She gets so panicky at the smallest sound."

Fitz nodded weakly. He noticed it too, and it's quite a surprise that he was the only one. The rest of the team wouldn't have noticed it, not unless they've known the agent for as long as he knew her. But for May and Coulson not noticing how weird Skye had been acting in the past few days was puzzling him.

And he saw it - the reaction she had when Raina's name was mentioned. Her whole body tensed by the sound of that name. But it was her expression that worried Fitz. The look on her face, the look that Skye had now on her face was something that bothered him.
It was a look that told him that she's planning to do something that might get her in trouble.


Soooo... what did you think of this chapter? I really hoped you liked it.
I was in a very very bad mood when I was writing this chapter. And I think some of that may have affected this story, so I'm sorry about that but please blame my teacher.
Anyway, I'm already writing the third chapter so I'd probably update anytime soon. Maybe tomorrow ;) not sure.
Also, it would mean a lot to me if you could tell me what you thought of this chapter by leaving a review.
