Okay I know all of us just want Ward to do something that will redeem him, so Skye will forgive him and they can move on. I just want to make a point that it will take a lot of time for Skye to stop being angry at Ward no matter what he does to prove her otherwise. Skye cared a lot for Ward so therefore he had the most effect on her when he betrayed them. All that love that she had for him is now turned into anger. So I kind of like to think of it as the angrier she is at him, the more we know Ward meant to her.

I am trying to stay as true to real characters on TV as I can. I don't want them to do anything that I don't think that would've done on the show.

Please Review and Enjoy!

Ward gripped his gun, it was still pointed at Garrett. "SON, make a decision because I am going to kill this girl in 15 seconds."

Suddenly Skye spoke up her voice surprisingly confident, "Prove me wrong Ward, prove to me that the Ward I knew is still there somewhere…"

Garrett pushed the gun harder into her head, "Times up, she's dead Ward."

And then a shot rang out.

The world must have stopped spinning because Ward felt like what happened next lasted for hours. Garrett had pulled the gun away from Skye's head. He was now trying to put pressure on his chest from the bullet that went through him, a bullet Ward sent through him. Life was slowly draining out of his eyes and he started to lose his balance, "You bastard".

Ward was there in seconds and caught Garrett before he hit the ground. He needed to apologize to tell Garrett that he was sorry, but the words were stuck in his throat and he didn't really mean them.

Garrett looked at Ward before he took his last breath, "You are weak Ward, you always have been and always will be," and then he shut his eyes for the last time.

Ward should have been sobbing, he had just killed his mentor, a man he saw as a father, but then he remembered why he shot him and it made him angry. He looked up at Skye, her eyes wide but all of her tears were gone. Ward stood up wiping Garrett's blood on his pants.

"We need to go. Garrett's men probably heard the shot and they are going to be in here soon." Ward pulled one of the little knives out of the bag and began to untie Skye.

"Ward," Skye started but he cut her off.

"Don't." He snapped, he didn't need to hear what she had to say right now. Right now he needed to get her off this plane and fast. He pulled another knife from the bag and handed it to Skye, "Here you might need this." She took it clumsily and grumbled, "You know you never got to teach me how to use these."

Ward picked up the gun he shot Garrett with, even though it had less bullets in it he thought it felt heavier. He turned back to Skye ignoring her comment, "I am going to check the plane's logs to see where we are passing over. We should be passing over some farmland so it should be safe to parachute out of here. Stay close to me once we leave this room."

Skye's eyes suddenly angry, "And why the hell should I trust you, you sick bastard. You are probably going to throw me off this plane without a parachute. Just because you shot Garrett doesn't mean…"

Ward lost it, "IT MEANS EVERYTHING! Damn it! I told you that I would never hurt you, I would not let anything happen to you! I shot him Skye! The man who treated me like a son, he was more of a father to me than my real dad! So don't say it doesn't mean anything." Ward had moved across the room and had Skye pinned against the wall. Both of their breathing was heavy and their bodies tense and angry. Ward spoke again still bitter, "We need to go now and you're coming with me because I'll be damned if anything happens to you now." Skye didn't say another word but followed him out the door knife in hand.

Ward and Skye made it to the lab unseen and grabbed some parachutes. Ward checked something on the computer while Skye was putting her parachute on. Ward still facing the computer said, "We need to jump in exactly 2 minutes if we want to land safely." He set a timer on his watch and turned back to face Skye.

Her face was still bruised and the gash on her head seemed to stop bleeding but Ward noticed how small she looked just then. She had definitely gained muscle since their training started and he knew she ate everything in sight yet she looked smaller to him. Skye noticed he was staring at her and shot at him a little too sharply, "What?"

Pulled out of his thoughts Ward mumbled, "Nothing, but I think we should grab a first aid kit or something to deal with that gash on your head when we land." Skye felt her head and winced at the pain, Ward instinctively went to reach out for her but she pulled away and walked to the other side of the lab.

"Right, first aid kit."

Ward nodded and started looking but time was running out, they needed to jump soon.

"Found it!" Skye pulled down a black box and turned to Ward, "It should have everything we need, Simmons always has everything packed." Skye's voice trailed off, mentioning Simmons' name was a painful reminder that they were the only ones left and that their team was dead. Ward thought she was crying when she looked up at him, "We should probably jump now right?" He nodded and opened the hangar door. They both grabbed the handles on the door preparing to jump.

Ward looked over at Skye, he knew she didn't have a lot of experience jumping out of planes. He thought about reaching out his hand again but he knew she would just refuse. "Ready?" He asked. She didn't look at him but nodded, "Let's get this over with."

A sudden troubling thought ran through Ward's head just before they jumped. Why hasn't any of Garrett's men come after us? I shot Garrett and none of them come after me? But it was too late to worry about that so they jumped.

To Be Continued.
