'SMASH'
The glass panel between the workout room and the Lab smashed.
"Sorry guy's" Skye shouted
"Everyone ok?" Ward asked looking at where the knife landed. Right between the head of Fitz and Simmons.
"What happened?" Coulson asked as he ran into the room after hearing the crashing of the glass.
"Minor mishap with a knife" Ward told him as Coulson surveyed the damage to the glass.
When Coulson had finished looking at the extremely large hole in the glass, he turned to Ward and suggested:
"Give her a gun, it might be safer."
"Will do" Ward agreed.
Between them they cleaned up the broken glass, temporarily repaired it with self adhesive cellophane and then went back to work.
"He has no idea it was your fault?" Skye asked Ward, having seen Coulson and him talking.
"No. He told me giving you a gun would be safer."
"I think going back to pencils would be safer" Skye recommended.
"Hey. I moved the knife didn't I?"
"Yeah, but you nearly killed Fitz-Simmons with it!"
"And the problem is?"
"You were aiming for me!"
Ward and Skye had moved their training to the lounge. He was teaching her to tie knots. You never knew when a well tied knot would come in useful. He started with the basic figure of 8 knot, before moving onto the more complex noose knot. Skye couldn't quite grasp the way to tie it, so Ward stood up and moved behind her chair, took her hands in his and helped her tie it. After a few tries in this way Skye felt she could do it on her own.
"Can I tie you up with it?" she asked Ward. "You know. Practise on humans and all that."
"Sure. I won't resist while you practice"
Skye fastened a noose knot around one of Ward's hands, then moved around his back and tied it to the other hand with another noose knot. Deciding she wanted to have a little fun she pulled him onto the sofa and sat on his knee straddling his lap while she used her new knot tying abilities to fasten him down. When she felt he was restrained she got up and went back to the bar and poured herself a drink. Simmons came in from the lab and joined Skye, not noticing Ward immediately. When she did finally notice Ward tied to the sofa she questioned Skye about it.
"What is Agent Ward doing tied to the sofa?"
"He was teaching me how to tie knots."
"That makes perfect sense. But why is he tied to the sofa?"
"Why not?"
For the next hour, Simmons and Skye spent talking and playing battleship, until May came in. She immediately noticed Ward tied to the sofa.
"Why is Ward tied to the sofa?"
"Knot tying session."
"How long has he been like that?"
"Hour or so."
"Have you checked those knots are secure?"
"No"
"Well you should" May told her before leaving for a workout.
Coulson was watching as Skye approached Ward. He knew Ward had broken the bonds holding him to the sofa within minutes of being restrained. He also realised May knew this as well and was setting Skye up. Before Skye knew what was happening she was bound by her wrists and tied to the balcony.
"Time for the first lesson." He heard Ward say to her, before walking off.
