Well gang, it took me a wjile but it's up. Thanks for the favs and the one or two reviews but remember I don't own anything but Clarissa and a new guy.

"So, how's the progress with Skye?" Ward put down his folder of intel reports.

"She's doing well. I found that a lot of her trust issues go deeper than you. She's been betrayed by a lot of people over the years. Your betrayal though, was the worst. It cut deeper than the rest," Clarissa eyed Ward.

"Why's that?"

"Are you that blind or just really stupid?"

"Clarissa, I am the head of this organization. I would remind you to remember that tiny fact when talking to me," Ward resumed looking over the file.

"Ward, you and I both know that I am here to help you with the inhumans. I am not about the Nazi folklore that Hydra was based on. Plus, you need me to help Skye deal with everything," Clarissa smiled.

"Fine, but just don't do that in front of the men," Ward shrugged.

"Take her to London with you. She will be needed to show our friend that we aren't the bad guys that S.H.I.E.L.D is portraying us to be. Plus, it will give you the chance to show Skye that you are different and so is Hydra. Skye needs to see this, otherwise, you may lose her to S.H.I.E.L.D," Clarissa looked at Ward with a pensive stare.

"Are you crazy? She is barely controlling her abilities right now. I'm not taking a chance that she may lose it in the field and kill me. Or even worse, kill herself. I lost her once, I don't want to lose her again," Ward closed the folder and stood, showing that the conversation was over.

Coulson stared at the camera feeds looking for a small sign of where Skye was. He had failed her yet again. He had kept more secrets from her. He still hadn't learned his lesson about Skye, never lie and never keep secrets from her.

"We'll find her," May's voice came from the doorway.

"What if she doesn't want to be found? What if I have finally pushed to tge point that she no longer trusts us. I put her on the Index. She is one of our own and I promised her that we would help her, and I went and put her on the radar of every other agent. I see how Mack, Bobbi, and Simmons are all afraid of ger. It hasn't gotten past me that they all are a little relieved by the fact that she is gone. We need to do something," Coulson sagged into his chair.

"Maybe we should tell the team everything," May sat on the edge of Coulson's desk.

"What are you saying May?"

"No more secrets. Tell the team everything that we know about Skye. From the moment we met her to the reason why she ran. Give the team a little better understanding of Skye," May crossed her arms.

"Not even Fitz knows everything about Skye. It's time that they know just how much of a S.H.I.E.L.D agent that Skye is. Everything that she's gone through. Call the team into the briefing room. Tell them it's story time," Coulson stood.

Three hours later. Everything about Skye was laid out in the open.

"And I thought my life was hell," Hunter said as he threw a thumb in Bobbi's direction.

"Skye has proven herself in more ways than any other S.H.I.E.L.D agent. She almost died going after Quinn. She has been betrayed by everyone that matters to her, even us," Fitz felt lower than he ever had.

"That's why we need to find Skye. Emotionally, she is unstable," Coulson walked to the center of the room.

"Making her powers very unstable," May joined Coulson.

"And now she is with Ward," Fitz sat back in realization.

"She hates him with a passion, she'll probably kill him," Bobbi smirked.

"No, he'll probably push her and her powers over the edge," Coulson shook his head.

"Why's that?" Hunter looked confused.

"Because, Ward is the one who betrayed her in the worst way possible," Fitz hurt for Skye.

"He betrayed her when he broke her heart," May looked down at the ground realizing for the first time the feelings that both Skye and Ward had for each other.

"He killed Nash because he knew that Garett had ordered Quinn to shoot Skye. He had trouble admitting that he killed to protect her because he cared about her," May knew that his feelings were true. She had never said anything about Ward accidentally whispering Skye's name during their times together.

"Raina was telling the truth," Lincoln put his head in his hands.

"What are you talking about?" May looked at Lincoln.

"Raina made a comment to me right before Jiaying had killed her. She told me that when it came time, I would have to let Skye go. That I would have to give her over to her soul mate, that they were destined for something bigger," Lincoln's heart sank for the second time.

"Fine, you can go with me as long as you follow two rules. Rule one, you stay with me at all times. Rule two, do not use your powers unless it is absolutely necessary," Ward shoved a change of clothes into his back pack.

"Fine, I agree, but I have a rule of my own," Skye threw her back backpack on.

"Let me do the talking T-1000," Skye walked up the ramp of the jet.

"T-1000?" Clarissa cocked her eyebrow at Ward.

"Shut up. Make sure to keep things running smoothly while I'm gone," Ward closed the ramp.

Clarissa smiled as she hummed the theme song to The Love Boat.

"Hey Jones, it's kareoke night, pass the word," Clarissa smiled.

Skye looked out of the cockpit window as London came into view. She had never been here and had always wanted to.

"We'll meet with Jacob in the morning. Tonight, we are getting room service and sleep. Before you ask, I made sure that there are two beda in the hotel room," Ward sat the jet down gently.

"Thanks," Skye meant it.

Ward checked them in and carried her bag and his. They rode the elevator up to the top floor in silence. Skye showered and changed into a tank top that had the S.H.I.E.L.D logo with devil horns sticking out of the top and a pair of shorts on.

"Subtle Skye," Ward chuckled.

"What? Clarissa got ahold of the pajamas I had, which happened to all be S.H.I.E.L.D issue. I think she had some fun," Skye shrugged.

Room service came and they ate in silence.

"Do you miss it?" Ward barely looked up from his food.

"What?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D, do you miss it?"

"I miss what it was before the fall. I miss the team that was on the bus. I miss how it was," Skye didn't look up.

"If I could do it over again, I would have shot Garrett and not looked back. Just stayed the Grant Ward that S.H.I.E.L.D and continued on," Ward looked at Skye and his breath hitched when he saw the beuises covering her arms.

Skye followed his eyes and quickly covered her arms with a blanket.

"Does it hurt?" Ward moved the two trays of food to the dresser.

"Sometimes while trying to control my emotions. May was teaching me how tom compartmentalize my emotions and this is the result of those times. Some many fratures that the doctors stop counting and bruises from all the capillary beds rupturing," Skye went to fix the corner of the blanket that had fallen from her shoulder.

Ward stopped her hand with his.

"You don't need to hid who you are from me. We can find a way for you to safely channel your emotions and abilities so that this doesn't happen," Ward rubbed Skye's arm.

Ward was awoken to the rumbling earth.

"Skye, wake up!"

He could see that the dream was truly a nightmare based upon the fact that the rumbling was getting worse. Ward crawled into bed next to Skye and held her close. The rumbling stopped.

"It's ok Skye, I'm here," Ward held Skye against him.

"Stay with me?" Skye buried her face into Ward's neck.

"I'm not leaving. But we are going to have to change positions because I was sort if having a dream of my own," Ward tried to angle himself away.

"We are supposed to be a couple for our cover," Skye didn't know why she didn't think things through.

"We don't-"

Skye stopped him wiyh a kiss. His kisswas always the kind that made her tingle all the way down to her toes.

The sun woke Skye as it streamed through the curtains. She stretched and realized that shw was partially drapped over a very naked Ward. Skye lifted yhe sheets slightly and then quickly put them back down when she realized that thay were both naked. Skye silently smacked her palm to her forehead. She never thought things through.

"Good morning," Ward whispered as he kissed her cheek.

"Good morning to you too," Skye blushed at the realization that he had seen her completely naked last night, and compared to May, she was wondering if she was completely lacking.

"Last night was amazing. And this is going to sound cheesy but you rocked my world," Ward got up out of the bed.

"Swing and a miss Ward," Skye chuckled to herself.

"No, seriously. You kinda set off two earthquakes last night. First one was while you were dreaming and the second was when you and I," Ward pointed between him and Skye and the bed.

"We have earthquakes!" Hunter yelled excitedly as he ran into the middle of Coulson's briefing with the team.

"They happen all the time," Bobbi rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, buth do they happen in the middle of downtown London?" Hunter threw back at her.

"Skye," Coulson said with realization.

"Wheels up in five," May said as she walked out of the room.

Ward and Skye met Jacob the next morning. You're not going to index me like S.H.I.E.L.D does are you?" Jacob looked at them skeptically.

"No, we won't," Ward smiled.

"Are they with you?" Jacob pointed oast Ward and Skye.

"Nope, that's S.H.I.E.L.D," Ward growled.

The ground began to shake violently underneath them.

"Skye, you have to control it," Coulson called out.

"We don't have time for this," May said as she shot Skye with an icer.

"Skye!" Ward barely caught her in his arms before she hit the ground.

"We're out of here," Jacob wrapped his arms around both Ward and Skye and did what he did best.

"Where'd they go?" Coulson yelled.

"Who the bloody hell was that?" Hunter threw his arms up.

"Jacob, he's Gordon's son and apparently got the same disappearing gift like his dad. They're gone," Lincoln ran his hand through his hair.

So, thoughts?
