When Cat woke up the next morning, she was more than tired. She had never been like this before. Maybe it's because after the fight last night, she couldn't get to sleep for two more hours. It was now 6 and she only got 2 hours of sleep.
Cat had dark circles under her eyes and she has a major headache. Cat felt her head and noticed that it felt warm. She didn't think anything of it and got out of bed. She threw on a pair of cotton shorts and her S.H.I.E.L.D t-shirt. She applied some make-up underneath her eyes so she at least seemed like she got more sleep than she actually did. Cat took a deep breath and walked out of her bunk. When she got to the kitchen for some breakfast, she noticed FitzSimmons and Skye already there.
"Morning." Cat's voice was hoarse, but she just figured it was from yelling the previous night.
"Good morning!" Simmons said cheerfully.
"How are you always so cheerful in the mornings? I don't get it." Skye said. She seemed really tired, like she wasn't used to waking up early.
"What's up with you?" Cat asked her.
"My stupid SO decides to wake me up at 5:00 in the mornings for training." She explained.
"Why do I feel like your SO is Ward?" She asked looking for cereal.
"That is because he is. How did you know that?"
"I used to train with him at the academy."
"You guys went to the academy together?" Fitz piped up.
"Yeah! Where have you been?" Skye asked.
"Well sorry I don't know her life!" Fitz retorted.
"They some mysterious past. OOOOOO." Skye started making scary music sounds and twiddling her fingers.
"Okay stop it. Where is the cereal?" Cat asked.
"Top cupboard. The cocoa puffs are mine!" Fitz stated running over and grabbing the cocoa puffs so Cat wouldn't.
"I don't even like them."
"You're disowned from the lab." He stated.
"Uhh Fitz she's a scientist." Skye said.
"What I thought she was a specialist!?" He was thoroughly confused.
"I am. I'm a tri-agent."
"Umm..." Fitz trailed off.
"No. I don't work for three organizations. I specialize in three fields. I'm a specialist, scientist and hacker."
"Wow. That's a lot to know."
"Eh not really. Now where are the bowls?" Cat said looking through every cupboard before Skye got up and got her one form the cabinet by the fridge.
"Here's the spoons and other silverware too by the way." Skye said pointing out the silverware drawer.
"So you don't look too good. Are you okay?" Simmons asked concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine. On a completely unrelated note, where is the ibuprofen?" Cat asked anyone who was sitting there, but mostly Simmons. She seemed like the doctor of the team.
"I'll get you some. We keep it in the lab." Fitz said and stood up to go get it.
"So what was about last night?" Skye asked raising her eyebrows.
"What do you mean?"
"You and Ward."
"Oh that, that was nothing. Just a friendly loud argument."
"Uh huh. It didn't sound friendly to me."
"You guys have to have a past." Simmons said.
"We're fine. Okay? It was nothing."
"Okay it was your first day here. You guys cannot fight like that." Skye stated.
"Like what?" Cat started eating her cereal after she took her ibuprofen that Fitz just brought her.
"Like husband and wife, brother and sister. You getting the gist here?" Simmons asked.
"Okay fine. Yes we have a past. Now stop pestering."
"We know, but what is it?" Fitz pestered.
"Didn't I just say stop pestering?" Cat asked.
"Yes, but come on you can't leave us hanging like this!" Fitz said. He really wanted to know.
"Where is Ward anyways?" Cat asked trying to change the subject.
"Solo mission left at 5:45 this morning. Our training session was cut short." Skye stated.
"Now start talking." Fitz pestered again.
"We knew each other years ago before I died. Back at the academy."
"Did you guys like date?" Skye asked.
"No!"
"Do you think you ever would have?" Simmons asked.
"So this person, who is it?" Skye asked.
"What person?" Cat asked as she put her cereal bowl in the sink.
"The person that killed you that Ward can't know or doesn't know who it was."
"I'd rather not say."
