"As all of you know, It has been quite the week for us." Coulson said to the team who had assembled in the "living room". They assumed their normal positions. Fitzsimmons on the couch, Ward and Skye behind the chair, and May and Coulson up front,
"But, this does not stop us from doing our job," Coulson said, examining the team, his eyes landed on Skye, "Skye, you will need to keep on the down low for a while. Shield is not sure who survived the attack and if they are still out for revenge."
"What?" Skye asked, "No! No no no absolutely not. I'm not running away from these bastards."
"Skye-" Ward tried to talk to her,
"No!" Skye said,"I'm not abandoning you guys," There was a long silence, broken by Coulson. He sighed loudly.
"Fine," Coulson continued, "Our clearance has been unsuspended, which means we are now available to retain information. This means we are back on track." Coulson motioned for Simmons to pull up the monitor. On the screen was was a man and a woman,
"Agents Grace and Joshua," Coulson explained, "currently, they are undercover in an operation in Uzbekistan. Recently, new information was discovered and they are in need of backup. Both on the ground and in the computer systems." Coulson said, looking at Skye,
"Okay, so what do they need exactly?" Ward asked,
"Two man extraction team, you and May will be on the ground, waiting for them once they escape the compound-"
"What compound?" Skye asked,
"This mission's details are classified," Coulson said to Skye. She sighed loudly.
"Whatever, I don't care I'll help," She said as she stormed out of the room. Coulson glanced at Ward as he rushed out of the room.
…..
Skye was facing the window in her bunk when she heard the door open,
"Go away." She said, not turning around,
"That isn't something you say to your Supervising Officer." Ward said, leaning on the door frame. Skye turned to look at him,
"Sorry, I thought you were Coulson."
"Well thats still not something you say to your team leader," Ward said. Skye rolled her eyes and continued staring out the window,
"Then again," Ward continued, "When do you ever follow the rules?" Skye said nothing. She though in her head about every rule she has broken. Where they had lead her to. All of those foster homes she bounced to, all because she didn't follow the rules. Now this stupid tracking bracelet on her wrist. She heard Ward step toward her bed,
"Ward," She said turning around, "Do you ever feel like you've dug yourself in a hole so deep that you can never come out of it?" Ward stared at her questionably. He searched her face for the answer but came up blank. Ward sighed and sat down next to her on her bed. She stared blankly ahead, emotionless,
"Personally? Yes." Ward said, Skye looked up at him, waiting for an explanation. He looked back down at the ground and sighed,
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"
"Its okay." Ward said. The room was heavy with silence. Skye saw, out of the corner of her eye, Ward turn his head to her. She faced him and tried to read his face. Regret. She hadn't known what had happened, but judging by his face, she didn't want to know,
"Skye," May said running into the room, "Coulson needs you." Skye quickly rose and exited her bunk.
….
The office was dark. Skye knocked on the open door to grab Coulson's attention, who had his head in a folder,
"Skye, Come here." Coulson said. Skye slowly made her way to the desk. Silence.
"Sir?" She hadn't said 'sir' in about 6 months, but judging by Coulsons face, he wasn't in the mood for a pet name.
"Skye I continued looking in on your family." Skyes face immediately came alive. Her tired, restless face changed. Her head popped up like a puppy who had just heard the word 'treat'.
"I-"
"Before you say anything, theres something you should know," Coulson said, cutting off Skye, "The redacted file, it had been un redacted for quite a while. Its just, May and I. We weren't sure if there was a way to tell you correctly…" Coulson trailed off.
"Tell me what?" Skye asked,
"The person who dropped you off at the orphanage was indeed your mother," Coulson said, "Skye, May-" He suddenly stopped talking. Skye turned around to see Ward in the doorway,
"Sorry if i'm interrupting," He said, scanning the scene in front of him," Which apparently I just did…Coulson, May needs you,"
"Wait! Coulson, finish your sentence" Skye begged,
"I'm sorry." Coulson said, walking out the door. Ward slowly followed Coulson out the door, leaving Skye alone to her thoughts.
….
THREE DAYS LATER
…
Skye had been helping the mission from her computer. It was the same drill each day: Hack in, shut down, hack out. Nothing changed. Until today.
The mission had been running smoothly. Ward and May were preparing for extraction while Skye erased the two agents from the video feed,
"Good," Coulson said, "Ward, May, ten minutes!" They nodded as they anxiously watched the live feed. They held their breath as the two agents reached the final stop of their mission. They approached a large brown door in the center of the dark compound, Next to the door was the key pad. Skye was preparing to hack the key pad when shots were fired. Two. Each one piercing the two agents. Skye gasped, Ward and Coulson gaped at the screen, and Fitzsimmons yelled,
"Oh my lord," Fitz said,"Did that just…"He trailed off. Coulson then ran for the door and escaped the room.
…
"We need to continue their mission. Both of their covers are intact! We need to get two new agents into the warehouse!" Coulson said to May,
"It's not that easy! We need a male and female agents who fit the description of the other agents!" May said,
"Wait, Grace and Joshua, they never made it to the party right?"
"What party?" May asked,
"Their final mission was not the compound, it was a party. They had to infiltrate and kill the host. It was top secret. They had a deep cover and their description was given to security to let them in."
"Wait, what?" May asked,
"They were guests but by a man working for shield inside the party! He is undercover as head of the security. If any of the men there find out that two agents are let into a party by the head of security, they all die. The description of Grace and Joshua was already given as their cover Mr. and Mrs. Cole." Coulson finished,
"Okay so what was the description? We can find ready agents to pick up the mission."May said,
"A Male, late 20's brown hair, brown eyes, 6'2. And a Female, early 20's, long brown hair, brown eyes, roughly 5'6." Coulson said. May sighed,
"You realize you just perfectly described Ward and Skye." May said to him,
"I know." Coulson said.
