Okay guys. I told you about the poll on my bio and I only got like one vote. So, I decided to go my way. And that means including the Let It Go scene. So, if some of you didn't want that, you should've answered the poll! *Takes a deep breath* Sorry. I'm still recovering from the stress of having to do 4 projects last weekend when there's only like 2 weeks left in school. Plus it's… uh… my time of the month. So sorry if I snap at you guys.

Anyway, let's get on with the chapter before I explode. BTW, here's where a little of the "based loosely off Frozen" comes in.

Skye was relieved to hear his answer, but then realized something. She left ice in her wake all through out the Hydra base. "Um…" She started, pulling out of Ward's embrace to look at him, "We have a slight problem with hiding it from the team."

"What?" He eyed her curiously.

"You're gonna laugh," She smiled sheepishly, "I kinda left ice… everywhere on this base while fighting to get here."

Ward thought for a moment. "I got an idea. Stay here." He dashed out of the room leaving her to think over her powers. Everything she touched froze. How would she be able to be with Ward when she could freeze him with a single touch? Ward coming back into the room broke her train of thought. He was holding a gun that she remembered seeing in the old SHIELD files. She just couldn't remember what it did.

"What does that do?" She asked.

He put the gun in her hands and answered, "It's a freeze ray." She cautiously examined it, "Barton and Romanoff secured it a while back. It will explain how there's ice everywhere. So, you don't have to tell anyone about your powers." Skye smiled and leaned up, placing her lips gently on Ward's. He smiled through the kiss and responded.

When they pulled away, Skye whispered, "Thank you." He smiled back at her and leaned their foreheads together.

Suddenly, they were interrupted by the door opening and the all to familiar voice of Coulson yelling, "Get away from her!" Ward jumped away from Skye, holding his hands up in surrender. Skye looked from Coulson to Ward. Coulson had May and Trip flanking him, all of them holding guns up to Ward. "May, cuff Ward. Trip get Garrett. I can see he's still breathing."

May and Trip nodded. Trip grabbed Garrett and dragged him over to Coulson. May went over and grabbed Ward's wrists. She locked Ward's wrists in the handcuffs and started to lead him out the door. She didn't get far before Skye shouted, "No! Let him go!"

"Skye, he's…" Coulson started but Skye cut him off.

"The one who saved me!" Skye shouted, receiving some questionable looks from the team, "Sure, he's done some unforgivable things, but he risked his life to keep me safe! He fought Deathlok for me! He was about to let Garrett kill him because of it!" Coulson looked at the hacker in shock, "I get that you guys don't trust him. I don't even fully trust him. But he can earn it back just like I did. Put him on one of the tracking bracelets you had me on after Miles! Just let him go!" Coulson heard the passion in Skye's voice he had grown accustomed to. He nodded at May. With a scowl, she un-cuffed Ward. Skye sighed in relief and ran over to him, careful not to touch him. She was still scared she would freeze him with one touch.

Coulson came over to Ward, the glare still evident. Ward turned and stood at attention like the good agent Skye always knew. "Don't think this is the end, Ward." Coulson said, not even trying to hide the edge to his voice, "Once we get back, you are getting a tracker put on you. And let me make myself perfectly clear. The only reason I'm allowing that is that you saved Skye. Had it been any other situation, I would have May kick the living daylights out of you. That tracker will remain on you until we fully trust you again. Is that clear?"

"Yes, sir." Ward answered without hesitation.

"I got one question." Trip voiced. Everyone turned to him, "Why is there ice everywhere?"

To answer his question, Skye held up the freeze ray. May nodded with a smirk, "Romanoff and Barton weaponry. Smart."

It was about a month after the whole fiasco with Hydra. Coulson and the team worked to rebuild SHIELD from the ground up. Ward still had the tracker on but was slowly earning the team's trust back. Most of it was thanks to Skye. They still kept her abilities a secret. It was getting easier now that she discovered something about her favorite leather gloves.

Ward walked into the lounge to see Skye on the couch typing on her laptop. Ward smiled at how concentrated she was. He walked over to her and sat down next to her. "Hey, princess." He said and placed a kiss to her temple.

"Don't distract me, Ward." Skye ordered as he draped an arm around her shoulders. "I need to finish establishing this security code for Coulson." Ward nodded then saw she was wearing gloves. They were her favorite pair. They were fingerless and made of black leather.

"What's with the gloves?" He asked as she finally finished the codes.

She looked down at her hands and flexed her fingers. "They help with controlling my abilities." She explained quietly, "They're so thick that I don't freeze everything I touch. See?" She reached out and grasped her precious laptop. Instead of freezing at her touch like before, it stayed in perfect condition.

"Smart." He noted.

"Thanks." She smirked and pecked his lips.

She had been wearing the gloves every day. Simmons had raised questions about them, but Skye brushed them off as a new fashion fad she was on. No one else questioned the gloves. It gave Skye a little reassuring that she wouldn't freeze anything. But it all fell apart the day Hill came on board with a message.

She and Ward had been playing Battleship in the lounge. May had touched down at a remote site in Canada, almost near where Providence was. The snow falling outside the window just reminded Skye that she was different. "Everyone to the mission center." Coulson's voice rang through the intercom interrupting her train of thought, "Agent Hill has an announcement to make."

Once everyone was gathered in the mission center, Hill started, "Since SHIELD is being rebuilt with help from all of you," Everyone nodded in thanks at the mention, "We've decided to bring together another index." Skye's eyes widened at the mention. Ward grasped her hand in his and squeezed. She relaxed a little.

"So, you're going to be tracking down people claiming to have supernatural abilities?" Simmons questioned.

"Exactly right." Hill praised. Skye took in a sharp breath. She and Ward both knew what that meant. She would have to be extra, extra careful to hide her powers. If she was discovered, SHIELD could take her away. Which was going to be hard. With holding them in for so long, they felt like they were getting stronger every day she didn't use them. She still had yet to figure out what the snowflake necklace meant.

"Skye, you okay?" May suddenly spoke up.

"Yeah. Why?" Skye lied smoothly.

"Cause you're tapping your pointer finger against Ward's hand." May explained. Skye looked down and saw she was doing that exactly. She hadn't even realized she'd been doing it. "That's one of your tells. It says you're nervous."

Skye quickly retracted her hand from Ward's and stuffed both of them in the back pocket of her jeans. Ward placed a hand on her shoulder and leaned down close to her ear. "Calm down. You'll be at more risk if you don't." He whispered. She nodded and took a deep breath.

"Agent Skye, is there something we should know about?" Hill asked, eyeing her curiously.

"I… uh…" Skye started stammering for an answer. No one had been this close to discovering her powers.

"Skye, what's going on?" Fitz asked.

"You're never this nervous." Simmons pointed out.

The team and Hill were looking at her curiously. Ward looked at her with warning and concern in his eyes. Skye tried to take more deep breaths but she could feel the ice building in her gloves, begging to be released. She knew she should tell them. But with Hill building another index, she couldn't risk it. She didn't want to risk being taken away from the team. From the only family she'd ever known. And especially from Ward. The only man who would fight for her. The only man she ever truly loved.

She opened and closed her mouth a few times before finally spitting out, "I need some air."

With that, she dashed off towards the cargo bay. Ward took off after her, the team and Hill following close behind. Skye quickly grabbed her leather jacket from the lounge for the cold. She discovered that with ice powers, the cold didn't really bother her. She had almost made it down the ramp before she heard Ward call, "Skye, wait!"

She turned to him quickly, "Ward, I just need some space!" She argued.

"Skye, you've been avoiding us as much as possible this past month," Simmons called, "Just tell us why you and Ward have been acting so weird!"

"It's none of your business!" Skye snapped and started down the ramp again. Ward quickly grabbed her wrist to stop her. She turned back to him. Before she could argue, he took both of her wrists. "Ward, I just need some air. Is that so bad?"

She struggled against his grip until she finally slipped out of them. Ward started to warn her, "Skye, just calm down…"

Skye cut him off by yelling, "I just need space!" She threw her arm up to fend them off, but a wall of spiked ice formed in front of her. She gasped and looked down at her hands. They were bare. She looked and saw Ward had her gloves in her hand. They must have slipped off when she escaped his grasp.

The team and Hill gaped at her. "Skye…" Ward started, but before he could say anything else, Skye turned and took off into the snow. Ward looked down at the gloves in his hands, to the ice wall in front of him, then at the path Skye took. He could barely make out her silhouette before it disappeared in the flurry.

Okay. I didn't know how to end this. I didn't want to go to far because the Let It Go scene is going to be the next chapter. So, keep checking in! Again, so sorry for the late update. Once school's out, I'll have more time to write. Although keep in mind I have a week long trip to Michigan, a 2-maybe 3 week trip to Germany and hopefully at least 3 weeks back home in Tennessee. So, if my updates are slow, just know that I'm traveling a lot. Okay? Anyways, R&R please!
