Codename: Battleship

Spoilers: AU but can consider all Season One episodes. Read Battleship: SHIELD to understand or you WILL BE LOST.

Disclaimer: I own nothing at all except Naomi


Miles walked out of an internet café only to find Skye waiting sitting on the bench outside it, she rose and smiled at him. Skye walked over and kissed his cheek, sweeping the area with her eyes as she did so.

"Walk and act happy to see me." She hooked her arm through his as she whispered and smiled, "hi honey."

He walked and her smile dropped as did her arm, "you're acting strange."

"Basic undercover tactic, don't let your enemy know you're in plain sight." She looked at him, "its noon so you'd better have good news for me or you'll be looking at a long term marriage with a tracking bracelet."

"I got you in but they want me with you, said they can't trust some rookie kid despite how good you are."

Skye snorted, "some rookie kid, right…"


Her phone rang and she paused to look at it, finding the caller ID said 'Home' which meant the Bus. Realizing she should take it, she answered it. "Zale?"

"Skye!" Naomi's voice fluttered across the line. "I call you."

Biting her lip she thought quickly of what to say, "put Ward on the phone now."

"Daddy sleep."

She closed her eyes, of course Naomi would call her in the middle of a mission while the team slept. The girl was very smart and visually learned a lot despite her limited amount of English. She's probably seen Ward use his phone and then dialed Skye herself.

"I'll repeat that, put Ward on the phone now." She was stern and made it an order worthy of an agent.

A whine was then followed by a bellow of 'Daddy' and Skye waited. She looked at her watch and measured the time, it took a full five minutes before Ward's sleep-ladened voice filtered on the phone.

"Skye?"

"Radio silence was absolute on this mission and instead of letting junior agents know that Agent Ward, I had a rookie agent nearly blow this thing. Be sure to reign in your rookie next time or so help me, I'll do it myself and they won't like the consequences." She knew he got the message despite the fake berating of an agent. They often referred to Naomi as a rookie agent when on missions so no one was aware of the young girl's presence on the plane. "Is that understood?"

Ward's voice grew soft but firm, "I didn't know she called or knew how to use a phone. I'll lock it down next time while asleep. Do you want to speak to her?"

"No, you handle the agent because I'm not in the mood. Zale out." She turned off the phone and put it in her pocket.

Miles chuckled and she turned to him, "so I guess the tool bag now takes orders from you?"

"No, we're partners but he's in the middle of training a rookie agent so I'm doing the mission alone. He maybe SEAL Team 6 but I'm not without capabilities." She steeled her face and started walking, he soon joined her. "When do we meet with the Triad?"

"Tonight at 7, you'll need to change because you scream cop or agent."

Skye nodded her head, "fair enough, I'll be at your place at 5." She walked across the street to the SUV, thankful of the metal stickers that covered the SHIELD insignia.


And meet they did, Skye found herself in a warehouse with Miles and five other men, all from the Li Cong Triad. One nodded his head in her direction but looked at Miles.

"She the girl?"

"Yeah she's the girl, like I told you…she's the best."

Skye stared at the man she knew as Ji Phong, leader of the Triad. He walked over to her and she turned on her scared hacker cover, backing up slightly from him. "How good are you?"

"Once hacked SHIELD and got information, gave them the run around but they never caught me." She smirked as if proud of her feat.

"If what you say is true, than you are good. Okay, we'll see what you're capable of, this way."

She was placed before a computer and instructed to hack into SHIELD, erase all data of the Triad from their computer system before launching a virus in the mainframe. She set about doing it, destroying the copied data into a cloned system that she had created before the mission as she anticipated they would want their data destroyed. All while writing a slight default code that would give SHIELD information, it was coded to look like a virus but would double back and infect the Triad's system.

"Finished." She looked up at him an hour later, "see if yourself but you are no longer on SHIELD's radar."

He nodded to Miles and she watched Miles go through the information. "It's all gone."

"Good, Miles wasn't lying that you are the best." He smirked at her, "how would like to earn a lot of money?"


A man walked over with his phone in hand and whispered to Ji Chong, showing him the screen before backing up. The man's face dropped the smirk and advanced on her with a weapon drawn. She backed up with her hands in the air, playing the defenseless hacker once again, "whoa, what did I do? Is this about that grab the cops did like a year ago because I can totally explain that.

He raised his weapon at her head, "we have people too and they inform me that your files were among those SHIELD released months ago. You are a SHIELD agent!

Skye saw Miles stand and look at her, her defenseless act dropped and she nodded. "Well, I wasn't then but now I am. If you know anything about SHIELD, it's that you never point a weapon at one of their agents. Especially the Director of SHIELD's favorite."

He laughed, "you are defenseless, you cannot move and live."

Smirking she spun around into him, grabbed his arm and dislodged the weapon before flinging him over her shoulder. He hit his head on the concrete of the ground, lying unconscious as she turned around and fired her guns at two of his men quicker than they could move. "G7!" She pushed her hands out and the Asgardian magic she'd been working on controlling for months echoed out of her hands in waves towards the men that still stood. They dropped like flies unconscious and out of her way.

Miles watched her and his mouth seemed to drop at her actions. Several more men moved in and she turned to see them, quickly dispatching them with defense capabilities that would have made Hill herself proud. Once the last of the men lay on the ground, Skye collected two pistols and looked at Miles. "We should go before they wake up."

"What was that?" He looked at her as he caught up with her outside the warehouse, she withdrew her phone and hit a single key. "Skye what was that?"


Ignoring him she spoke into the phone, "extraction activated." She hung up immediately and kept walking to the car that Miles had driven her in.

Once in the vehicle, her phone beeped and she hit a single button to hear the automated extraction response. "Extraction null."

"Extraction requested, authorization code Sierra-Zulu-Six-One-Six."

Seconds came before the extraction response came through automated as usual. "Extraction point, LAX private runway 4 in thirty minutes."

"Extraction point verified." Skye spoke and shut her phone down. She looked over at Miles as he seemed to continue to stare at her. "You'll have to be briefed by Coulson but I doubt after this he'll put a tracking bracelet on you."

"What did you do back there?"

She ignored the question and kept on driving, no one needed to truly know what she was capable of. That she held life or death in her hands or was third in line to the Asgardian throne, she'd become a huge target of not just SHIELD's enemies but of the universe.

"Just something I can do now." She spoke and he shook his head when she didn't explain further.

"You've become everything we were against, you are keeping secrets and have become part of the biggest big brother the world has."

Biting her lip she spoke clearly, "I was always meant for bigger things, I just happened to find my family among the enemy."


A/N: Whoa...Skye and her ability to take down men! Also it was kind of fun writing Naomi calling Skye, she just wanted to talk to her 'mother'.

Next we see Miles debriefed by Coulson and a reunion between the Zale-Ward family.
