You Can Quote Me on That

"You have to listen to me!"

"Why should I? You could be a HYDRA spy!"

"So you think future you works for HYDRA. You have a great opinion of yourself, Skye."

"…"

"Listen. You have to grab Ward and get out of here. You have to find your dad before…"

"Why would I go and break out that traitor? I don't give a damn about him."

"Because if you don't everything is going to hell."

"Ha."

"I'm serious. When Ward dies…"

"Wait, he's dead."

"…Yes."

"But you don't that much older than me."

"I'm not. He dies over a year from now."

"N-no. No. No. No. H-He can't be dead."

"What happened to not giving a damn about him?"

"…"

"Look Skye… unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, it's not going to get better. It's not!"

"…"

"I know you still care about him. Because after he died, I was heartbroken. You still have time to fix this. You still have to save the man we love."

"…And if I don't?"

"Then the future stays a mess. And our chance at true happiness goes down the drain. Along with the rest of humanity."

Later that night, Skye snuck down into Vault D. The barrier between Ward and the rest of world was opaque, so when she shut it down, her former S.O. was very surprised to see her there.

"Skye… what are you doing?"

"Breaking you out of here." Skye tossed a bag over to him. "Hurry up and change."

Ward easily caught the bag, but still stared at her. "Skye, are you…"

"Will you shut up and hurry? The looped footage won't fool the others forever."

Ward quickly opened the bag and out the civilian clothes in there. He stripped down to the underwear he had on, which gave Skye a chance to admire his six-pack, and slipped the outfit.

When he was done, Skye went to him, grabbed his hand and started to pull him towards the stairs.

"Skye…"

"Don't talk." Skye snapped as they reached the top of the stairs. She opened the door and took a peek into the hallway. "Come on."

And with that the two specialists made their way through the halls of the Playground to the vehicle bay.

The next time the two exchanged words was when they got into their motel room.

"Skye…"

Skye stop messing with her bag on the single bed and slowly turned around to face him. He looked uttered shocked and confused by the situation.

"Why?"

She didn't say anything. Instead, she strutted over to him, pulled on his collar and crashed his lips onto hers.

For a while, Ward didn't respond. This just added a layer to his shock, but he soon peeled it, when he realized may not happen again because it could be a spur of the moment thing.

One of his hands slowly went to sit on her hips and the other went up to caress her cheek. Skye moved her hands up his shoulders, one wrapping around his neck, the other going into his hair to deepen the kiss. This reminded Ward so much of the kiss shared in the Providence lounge. Their lips moved in perfect sync as the rest of the world around them ceased to examine. For Skye, the feeling of Ward's lips against hers was a bit scratchy due to the fact that he still had his beard, but that only intensified the feelings that Skye was having.

So much, up to the point, that Ward brought the kiss to a halt when he felt tears streaming down Skye's face on his hands. He pulled back and saw the Skye was full on sobbing. "Skye, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"For what I said. For what I did. I was just so angry at what you did that I didn't give a chance to hear you out. I'm sorry that I didn't give you the second chance that you gave me."

Ward sadly smiled at her as he wiped the tears off her face. "It's okay."

Skye shook her head. "No, it's not. We're gonna fix this. You're going to therapy and talking this out. And we're gonna find a way to get back to where we were."

Ward nodded, bent down to kiss her forehead and put their forehead together. "Okay."

The two just stayed there in a peaceful silence, soaking in the reality of what was happening. They had a chance to be together. To be happy with one another.

"You still haven't told me why you did this?"

Skye looked up into his eyes with a sincere look on her face. "Because I care."

My recommendation for this chapter is the story "Shadow Fears of the Past" by Maddison1803. It's an adorable with a child Skye who's very attached to our favorite specialist! I love it and I can't wait for the next update! Leave in the word "SHADOW" in a comment if you are going to check it out!
