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

The small quinjet that carried them to the Bus was not as comfortable as ones she'd been in the past but Skye didn't complain. She watched Miles analyze everything for the first hour before pulling out her field laptop and started working, midway through the flight she'd excused herself to the small lavatory to change into her SHIELD uniform. She'd watched Miles' eyes bug out at the sight of her uniform as it was exactly like May's and left very little to the imagination.

"Agent Zale," one of the agents emerged from the cockpit and nodded to her. "We'll be at the HUB within ten ma'am."

Skye nodded and closed her laptop, "notify Agent Hill that we have a non-clearance visitor for debrief."

"Yes ma'am." The agent disappeared and Skye looked at Miles, he seemed to watch her.

Standing up, she packed her laptop up and quickly grabbed a weapon's box from the shelf unit above the seats to secure her weapons. Locking the pistols and knives away Skye set it beside her bag and waited as the agent emerged once again to head to the back ramp. "How's that girlfriend of yours Masters?"

The young agent chuckled, "glad I'm gone ma'am. Baby is due any day and she swears she's going to use my gun next time she sees me. I guess I shouldn't have knocked up a fellow agent ma'am."

"Girl or boy?"

"Boy ma'am and I don't know what I'll do, I'm not really a baby person."

Skye smiled at the thought of her son, "well trust me, as soon as you see him you'll fall in love and be threatening every person who comes near him."

"You sound like you speak from experience, do you have a kid ma'am?"

"I had a son, miscarried him months." Skye smiled at the memory of talking with Ward about what to name their son. They had agreed to share their son with those they spoke with and not to hide him, he wasn't a secret to be kept but instead a miracle to so many. "His father and I named him Theo and we wouldn't trade what time we had with him for the world. You'll say the same when you see your son's face."

Masters smiled at her, "I'm sorry for your loss ma'am."

She merely nodded and stood as the quinjet touched down, "let us know when that baby boy gets here, I'll be sure to talk to Director Hill about some extra time off. After all, when has she ever said 'no' to me?"

"Never or so the rumors go, have a good day ma'am." He gave her a two finger salute and Skye walked down the opening ramp.

Miles followed like an obident puppy, looking around in amazement as they crossed the hanger to the central doors. Several agents stood waiting and Skye nodded to several. "Jamison, Dwyer long time no see."

"Same here ma'am, how's that gunshot wound healing?" Dwyer fell in between her and Miles while Jamison walked on the other side of the foreign hacker. "Half of us were about ready to find a way to resurrect Garrett and kill him again after we heard what happened. Rumor has it that Hill took off more heads that day then after HYDRA took over SHIELD and she lost her job."

"Wound is healed actually, thanks for asking. I should be asking how you are considering you were dead for a few moments." She smiled and he was about to answer when a yell was heard.

"MOMMY!" Skye looked ahead to see Naomi standing with Ward, Coulson and Hill in the hallway. She broke off and ran to Skye, not stopping until the agent caught her. "Mommy, me miss you."

Skye chuckled and kissed her head, "I missed you too but I came back like I promised right?" Naomi nodded and wrapped her arms around Skye's neck, "have you behaved for Daddy and Uncle Phil?"

"Yes!" The five year old smiled, "I big potty."

The CS specialist put Naomi down and squatted down in front of her, "really? I am so proud of you for doing that." Squeezing tiny hands she smiled. "Mommy has to go talk to Maria for a bit okay? After that it'll be you and me for the whole day, not even Daddy gets me for a moment."

"Okay!"

Skye stood and took Naomi's hand, walking with her till they met up with the others. Coulson bent down and looked at Naomi, "why don't we go see if Agent Martinez can locate a bowl of ice cream for you?"

A huge smile bloomed on the girls' face and she nodded, pulling on Coulson as she went. The lead agent just followed and Skye chuckled as did Hill and Ward. The director shook her head before her smile disappeared and she turned her attention on her agent and the hacker beside her.

"Good work Agent Zale, we are currently dismantling the organization as we speak. Your temp report stated you unleashed your Battleship weaponry, do you need to rest before we debrief?"

"No ma'am, thank you for the concern though." She nodded to Hill and turned to Miles, "Mr. Lydon will need debriefing and the form for non-disclosure of weapons and agent tactics. He witnessed by Battleship weaponry."

Hill took two steps towards Miles, "he'd be better of shot. What he witnessed requires Level 10 clearance unless in direct daily contact with it. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't shoot him?"

"He got me into the Triad and second, he trained me to hack."

The director nodded, "good enough for me," she turned her attention to Jamison and Dwyer. "Escort Mr. Lydon to Holding 1 and make sure there is no computerized equipment in the room."

"Yes ma'am."

"My containment room should do." Skye spoke and Hill nodded to the men.

Skye sat against the HUB's ID desk with her laptop, beside her Ward sat quietly and they just watched Naomi practice her English on agents as they passed. Months before neither would have been caught dead sitting on the HUB floors but seeing as they were practically untouchable under Hill they really didn't care.

"Thank you Mr. Lydon for your cooperation." Skye looked over to see Miles being walked to the lobby by agents and Hill herself. "You'll understand if we just drop you off at any random place?"

"Yeah." Skye shut her laptop and stood, moving over to Hill and Miles. "Come to see me off Agent Zale?"

Skye shrugged, "thank you actually for your help."

"You look normal now." He motioned to her clothes and she knew it was the jeans, plaid shirt and bangles that made her look more like he had known her. "You may look normal but you've changed."

"Daddy!" Both turned to see Naomi throw herself at Ward, he groaned as he caught her and threw her in the air to which she squealed. "Down, I go down!"

"Down it is Princess Naomi." He put her down and she ran to Skye, hiding behind her. Skye wrapped her hand around her back to put it on Naomi's head. "Naomi come here, Mommy has work to do." She didn't move so he pointed to the spot in front of him. "Naomi Freya right now. I won't repeat myself a second time so either come or you face consequences."

The girl groaned and headed over to him, "want Mommy."

"And I want you to behave, obviously we can't both get what we want." He took her hand and started walking away.

Miles laughed, "the toolbag, really?"

"At least he doesn't lie about what he is or what he does." Skye nodded, "this is where we part. Thank you for your help."

"Whatever Skye…"

Hill cleared her throat, "drop him off somewhere between here and New Mexico."

"Yes ma'am." Jamison turned to Lydon, "this way Mr. Lydon."

After he'd gone, Hill folded her arms and shook her head. "What did you ever see in him?"

"I was stupid and he was the first guy who treated me right." Skye smirked, "I'm sure you've had your fair share of stupid relationships ma'am." Hill only chuckled before turning to leave Skye standing there.

A/N: I had fun writing this chapter...
